1:6.3 Never lose [[Vision|sight]] of the antipodal [[Perspective|viewpoints]] of [[personality]] as it is conceived by [[God]] and [[man]]. Man views and [[Understanding|comprehends]] personality, looking from the [[finite]] to the [[infinite]]; God looks from the infinite to the finite. Man possesses the lowest type of personality; God, the highest, even [[supreme]], [[ultimate]], and [[absolute]]. Therefore did the better concepts of the divine personality have patiently to await the [[appearance]] of improved ideas of human personality, especially the enhanced [[revelation]] of both human and divine personality in the [[Urantia]]n [[Paper 120 - The Bestowal of Michael on Urantia|bestowal life of Michael]], the [[Creator Son]].

1:6.4 The [[Thought Adjuster|prepersonal divine spirit]] which indwells the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_42#12._PATTERN_AND_FORM.E2.80.94MIND_DOMINANCE mortal mind] carries, in its very [[presence]], the valid [[proof]] of its actual [[existence]], but the concept of the divine personality can be grasped only by the spiritual [[insight]] of genuine [[personal]] religious [[experience]]. Any person, human or divine, may be known and [[comprehended]] quite apart from the external [[Reaction|reactions]] or the [[material]] presence of that person.

1:6.5 Some degree of [[moral]] affinity and [[spiritual]] [[harmony]] is [[essential]] to [[friendship]] between two persons; a loving personality can hardly reveal himself to a loveless person. Even to approach the knowing of a divine personality, all of man's personality endowments must be wholly [[Consecration|consecrated]] to the effort; halfhearted, partial [[devotion]] will be unavailing.

1:6.7 To [[Assumption|assume]] that the [[universe]] can be known, that it is [[Intelligence|intelligible]], is to assume that the universe is mind made and personality managed. Man's mind can only [[perceive]] the [[mind]] [[phenomena]] of other minds, be they human or superhuman. If man's personality can experience the universe, there is a divine mind and an actual personality somewhere concealed in that universe.

1:6.8 [[God]] is spirit—spirit personality; man is also a spirit—[[potential]] spirit personality. [[Jesus]] of [[Nazareth]] attained the full [[realization]] of this [[potential]] of spirit personality in human experience; therefore his life of achieving [[Doing the will of God|the Father's will]] becomes man's most real and [[ideal]] [[revelation]] of the personality of God. Even though the personality of the Universal Father can be grasped only in actual religious [[experience]], in [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Urantia_Text_-_Contents#Part_IV._The_Life_and_Teachings_of_Jesus Jesus' earth life] we are [[inspired]] by the [[perfect]] [[demonstration]] of such a [[realization]] and [[revelation]] of the personality of God in a truly [[human]] [[experience]].
