2:1.3 Notwithstanding the infinity of the stupendous [[manifestations]] of the Father's eternal and [[universal]] [[personality]], he is unqualifiedly self-conscious of both his infinity and eternity; likewise he knows fully his [[perfection]] and [[power]]. He is the only [[being]] in the universe, aside from his [[Paper 10 - The Paradise Trinity|divine co-ordinates]], who experiences a perfect, proper, and complete [[Self Evaluation|appraisal]] of himself.

2:1.5 No thing is new to God, and no [[cosmic]] [[event]] ever comes as a surprise; he inhabits the circle of eternity. He is without beginning or end of days. To God there is no past, present, or future; all [[time]] is present at any given [[moment]]. He is the great and only [[I AM]].

2:1.9 All this he has done and now does, and evermore will continue to do, without in the least detracting from the [[fact]] and [[reality]] of his infinity, eternity, and primacy. And these [[things]] are absolutely true, notwithstanding the difficulty of their [[comprehension]], the [[mystery]] in which they are enshrouded, or the impossibility of their being fully understood by [[creatures]] such as dwell on [[Urantia]].

2:1.10 Because the [[Universal Father|First Father]] is infinite in his plans and eternal in his [[purposes]], it is inherently impossible for any [[finite]] [[being]] ever to grasp or comprehend these divine plans and purposes in their fullness. [[Mortal]] man can glimpse the Father's purposes only [[Moment|now and then]], here and there, as they are revealed in relation to the outworking of the [[Ascension Career|plan of creature ascension]] on its successive levels of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_118#118:8._CONTROL_AND_OVERCONTROL|universe progression].

2:1.11 Divinity and eternity [[the Father]] shares with large numbers of the [[Paper 16 - The Seven Master Spirits|higher Paradise]] [[beings]], but we question whether infinity and consequent [[universal]] primacy is fully shared with any save his co-ordinate associates of the [[Paradise Trinity]].
