1:0.1 The [[Universal]] [[Father]] is the [[God]] of all [[creation]], the [[First Source and Center]] of all [[things]] and [[beings]]. First [[think]] of God as a creator, then as a controller, and lastly as an infinite upholder. The [[truth]] about the Universal Father had begun to dawn upon [[mankind]] when the [[prophet]] said: "You, God, are alone; there is none beside you. You have created the heaven and the [[Universe of universes|heaven of heavens]], with all their [[Paper 38 - Ministering Spirits of the Local Universe|hosts]]; you preserve and control them.[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Nehemiah#Chapter_.9] By the [[Creator Sons|Sons of God]] were the [[universes]] made.[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Psalms#Psalm_33] The Creator covers himself with [[light]] as with a [[Dress|garment]] and stretches out the heavens as a curtain."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Psalms#Psalm_104] Only the [[concept]] of the Universal Father—[[Monotheism|one God]] in the place of many gods—enabled [[mortal]] man to [[comprehend]] the Father as divine creator and infinite controller.<br />
<br />
1:0.2 The myriads of [[planetary]] [[systems]] were all made to be eventually inhabited by many different [[types]] of [[intelligent]] [[creatures]], beings who could know God, receive the divine [[affection]], and [[love]] him in return. The [[universe of universes]] is the [[work]] of God and the [[Home|dwelling place]] of his diverse creatures. "God created the heavens and formed the earth; he established the universe and created this world not in vain; he formed it to be inhabited."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Isaiah#Chapter_.45]<br />
<br />
1:0.3 The [[enlightened]] worlds all recognize and [[worship]] the Universal Father, the [[eternal]] maker and [[infinite]] upholder of all [[creation]]. The [[Free will|will]] creatures of universe upon universe have embarked upon the long, long [[Paradise]] journey, the fascinating struggle of the eternal [[adventure]] of attaining [[God the Father]]. The [[transcendent]] goal of the children of time is to find the eternal God, to comprehend the divine [[nature]], to recognize the Universal Father. God-knowing creatures have only one supreme [[ambition]], just one consuming [[desire]], and that is to become, as they are in their [[spheres]], like him as he is in his Paradise [[perfection]] of [[personality]] and in his universal sphere of righteous [[supremacy]]. From the Universal Father who inhabits eternity there has gone forth the supreme [[mandate]], "Be you perfect, even as I am perfect."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Matthew#Chapter_5] In [[love]] and [[mercy]] the messengers of Paradise have carried this divine exhortation down through the ages and out through the universes, even to such lowly [[animal]]-[[origin]] creatures as the [[human]] [[races]] of [[Urantia]].<br />
<br />
1:0.4 This magnificent and [[universal]] injunction to strive for the attainment of the [[perfection]] of [[divinity]] is the first duty, and should be the highest [[ambition]], of all the struggling creature creation of the God of perfection. This [[possibility]] of the attainment of divine perfection is the final and certain [[destiny]] of all man's eternal spiritual [[progress]].<br />
<br />
1:0.5 Urantia [[mortals]] can hardly [[hope]] to be perfect in the infinite sense, but it is entirely possible for [[human being]]s, starting out as they do on this [[planet]], to attain the supernal and divine goal which the infinite God has set for mortal man; and when they do achieve this [[destiny]], they will, in all that pertains to [[self-realization]] and [[mind]] attainment, be just as replete in their sphere of divine perfection as God himself is in his sphere of infinity and eternity. Such perfection may not be universal in the [[material]] sense, unlimited in [[intellectual]] grasp, or final in [[spiritual]] [[experience]], but it is final and complete in all finite aspects of divinity of will, [[perfection]] of personality [[motivation]], and [[God-consciousness]].<br />
<br />
1:0.6 This is the true meaning of that divine command, "Be you perfect, even as I am perfect,"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Matthew#Chapter_5] which ever urges [[mortal]] man onward and beckons him inward in that long and fascinating [[Work|struggle]] for the [[attainment]] of higher and higher levels of spiritual [[values]] and true universe [[meanings]]. This [[sublime]] search for the God of universes is the supreme [[adventure]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 inhabitants of all the worlds] of [[time and space]].<br />
