And even that [[hypothesis]] probably falls far short of the unfathomed [[infinity]] of [[original]] [[reality]]. | | 105:1.6 Ever [[remember]] that man's [[comprehension]] of the [[Universal Father]] is a [[personal]] [[experience]].

| 105:1.8 [[Infinity]] is indeed remote from the [[experience]] level of [[mortal]] [[comprehension]], but even in this age on [[Urantia]] your [[concepts]] of [[infinity]] are growing, and they will continue to grow throughout your [[Ascension Career|endless careers]] stretching onward into [[future]] [[eternity]]. Unqualified [[infinity]] is meaningless to the [[finite]] [[creature]], but infinity is capable of [[self]]-[[limitation]] and is susceptible of [[reality]] [[expression]] to all [[levels]] of [[universe]] existences. And the face which the [[Infinite]] turns toward all [[universe]] [[personalities]] is the face of a [[Father]], the [[Universal Father]] of [[love]]. | | 105:1.8 [[Infinity]] is indeed remote from the [[experience]] level of [[mortal]] [[comprehension]], but even in this age on [[Urantia]] your [[concepts]] of [[infinity]] are growing, and they will continue to grow throughout your [[Ascension Career|endless careers]] stretching onward into [[future]] [[eternity]].
