==32:4. GOD'S RELATION TO A LOCAL UNIVERSE==  

32:4.1 Do not entertain the idea that, since the Universal Father has delegated so much of himself and his power to others, he is a silent or inactive member of the Deity partnership. Aside from personality domains and Adjuster bestowal, he is apparently the least active of the Paradise Deities in that he allows his Deity co-ordinates, his Sons, and numerous created intelligences to perform so much in the carrying out of his eternal purpose. He is the silent member of the creative trio only in that he never does aught which any of his co-ordinate or subordinate associates can do.

32:4.1 Do not [[entertain]] the [[idea]] that, since the [[Universal Father]] has [[delegated]] so much of himself and his [[power]] to others, he is a [[silent]] or inactive member of the [[Deity]] [[partnership]]. Aside from [[personality]] domains and [[Thought Adjuster|Adjuster]] [[bestowal]], he is [[apparently]] the least [[active]] of the [[Paradise Deities]] in that he allows his [[Paper 10 - The Paradise Trinity|Deity co-ordinates]], [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_20 his Sons], and numerous [[created]] [[intelligences]] to [[perform]] so much in the carrying out of his [[eternal]] [[purpose]]. He is the [[silent]] member of the [[creative]] [[Trinity|trio]] only in that he never does aught which any of his [[co-ordinate]] or subordinate [[associates]] can do.

32:4.2 God has full understanding of the need of every intelligent creature for function and experience, and therefore, in every situation, be it concerned with the destiny of a universe or the welfare of the humblest of his creatures, God retires from activity in favor of the galaxy of creature and Creator personalities who inherently intervene between himself and any given universe situation or creative event. But notwithstanding this retirement, this exhibition of infinite co-ordination, there is on God's part an actual, literal, and personal participation in these events by and through these ordained agencies and personalities. The Father is working in and through all these channels for the welfare of all his far-flung creation.

32:4.2 [[God]] has full [[understanding]] of the need of every [[intelligent]] [[creature]] for [[function]] and [[experience]], and therefore, in every [[situation]], be it concerned with the [[destiny]] of a [[universe]] or the [[Health|welfare]] of the [[humblest]] of his [[creatures]], [[God]] retires from [[activity]] in favor of the [[galaxy]] of [[creature]] and [[Supreme Creators|Creator]] [[personalities]] who [[inherently]] [[intervene]] between himself and any given [[universe]] situation or [[creative]] [[event]]. But notwithstanding this retirement, this [[exhibition]] of [[infinite]] [[co-ordination]], there is on [[God]]'s part an [[actual]], [[literal]], and [[personal]] [[participation]] in these [[events]] by and through these [[ordained]] [[agencies]] and [[personalities]]. [[The Father]] is [[working]] in and through all these [[channels]] for the welfare of all his far-flung [[creation]].

32:4.3 As regards the policies, conduct, and administration of a local universe, the Universal Father acts in the person of his Creator Son. In the interrelationships of the Sons of God, in the group associations of the personalities of origin in the Third Source and Center, or in the relationship between any other creatures, such as human beings—as concerns such associations the Universal Father never intervenes. The law of the Creator Son, the rule of the Constellation Fathers, the System Sovereigns, and the Planetary Princes—the ordained policies and procedures for that universe—always prevail. There is no division of authority; never is there a cross working of divine power and purpose. The Deities are in perfect and eternal unanimity.

32:4.4 The Creator Son rules supreme in all matters of ethical associations, the relations of any division of creatures to any other class of creatures or of two or more individuals within any given group; but such a plan does not mean that the Universal Father may not in his own way intervene and do aught that pleases the divine mind with any individual creature throughout all creation, as pertains to that individual's present status or future prospects and as concerns the Father's eternal plan and infinite purpose.

32:4.4 The [[Creator Son]] rules [[supreme]] in all matters of [[ethical]] [[associations]], the [[relations]] of any division of [[creatures]] to any other [[class]] of [[creatures]] or of two or more [[individuals]] within any given [[group]]; but such a [[plan]] does not mean that the [[Universal Father]] may not in his own way [[intervene]] and do aught that pleases the [[divine]] [[mind]] with any [[individual]] [[creature]] throughout all [[creation]], as pertains to that [[individual]]'s present [[status]] or [[future]] prospects and as concerns [[the Father]]'s [[eternal]] [[plan]] and [[infinite]] [[purpose]].

32:4.5 In the mortal will creatures the Father is actually present in the indwelling Adjuster, a fragment of his prepersonal spirit; and the Father is also the source of the personality of such a mortal will creature.

32:4.5 In the [[mortal]] [[Free will|will]] [[creatures]] [[the Father]] is [[actually]] present in the [[indwelling Adjuster]], a [[fragment]] of his prepersonal [[spirit]]; and [[the Father]] is also the [[source]] of the [[personality]] of such a [[mortal]] [[Free will|will]] [[creature]].

32:4.6 These Thought Adjusters, the bestowals of the Universal Father, are comparatively isolated; they indwell human minds but have no discernible connection with the ethical affairs of a local creation. They are not directly co-ordinated with the seraphic service nor with the administration of systems, constellations, or a local universe, not even with the rule of a Creator Son, whose will is the supreme law of his universe.

32:4.6 These [[Thought Adjusters]], the [[bestowal]]s of the [[Universal Father]], are comparatively [[isolated]]; they indwell [[human]] [[minds]] but have no [[discernible]] [[connection]] with the [[ethical]] affairs of a [[local creation]]. They are not directly [[co-ordinated]] with the [[seraphic]] [[service]] nor with the [[administration]] of [[the System|systems]], [[constellations]], or a [[local universe]], not even with the rule of a [[Creator Son]], whose will is the [[supreme]] [[law]] of his [[universe]].

32:4.7 The indwelling Adjusters are one of God's separate but unified modes of contact with the creatures of his all but infinite creation. Thus does he who is invisible to mortal man manifest his presence, and could he do so, he would show himself to us in still other ways, but such further revelation is not divinely possible.

32:4.8 We can see and understand the mechanism whereby the Sons enjoy intimate and complete knowledge regarding the universes of their jurisdiction; but we cannot fully comprehend the methods whereby God is so fully and personally conversant with the details of the universe of universes, although we at least can recognize the avenue whereby the Universal Father can receive information regarding, and manifest his presence to, the beings of his immense creation. Through the personality circuit the Father is cognizant—has personal knowledge—of all the thoughts and acts of all the beings in all the systems of all the universes of all creation. Though we cannot fully grasp this technique of God's communion with his children, we can be strengthened in the assurance that the "Lord knows his children," and that of each one of us "he takes note where we were born."

32:4.8 We can [[Vision|see]] and [[understand]] the [[mechanism]] whereby the [[Creator Sons|Sons]] enjoy [[intimate]] and complete [[knowledge]] regarding the [[universes]] of their [[jurisdiction]]; but we cannot fully [[comprehend]] the [[methods]] whereby [[God]] is so fully and [[personally]] conversant with the details of the [[universe of universes]], although we at least can [[recognize]] the avenue whereby the [[Universal Father]] can receive [[information]] regarding, and [[manifest]] his [[presence]] to, the [[beings]] of his immense [[creation]].

32:4.9 In your universe and in your heart the Universal Father is present, spiritually speaking, by one of the Seven Master Spirits of central abode and, specifically, by the divine Adjuster who lives and works and waits in the depths of the mortal mind.

32:4.9 In your [[universe]] and in your [[heart]] the [[Universal Father]] is present, [[spiritually]] speaking, by one of the [[Seven Master Spirits]] of central abode and, specifically, by the [[divine Adjuster]] who lives and [[works]] and waits in the depths of the [[mortal]] [[mind]].

32:4.10 God is not a self-centered personality; the Father freely distributes himself to his creation and to his creatures. He lives and acts, not only in the Deities, but also in his Sons, whom he intrusts with the doing of everything that it is divinely possible for them to do. The Universal Father has truly divested himself of every function which it is possible for another being to perform. And this is just as true of mortal man as of the Creator Son who rules in God's stead at the headquarters of a local universe. Thus we behold the outworking of the ideal and infinite love of the Universal Father.

32:4.10 [[God]] is not a [[self]]-[[centered]] [[personality]]; [[the Father]] freely [[distributes]] himself to his [[creation]] and to his [[creatures]].

Thus we behold the outworking of the [[ideal]] and [[infinite]] [[love]] of the [[Universal Father]].

32:4.11 In this universal bestowal of himself we have abundant proof of both the magnitude and the magnanimity of the Father's divine nature. If God has withheld aught of himself from the universal creation, then of that residue he is in lavish generosity bestowing the Thought Adjusters upon the mortals of the realms, the Mystery Monitors of time, who so patiently indwell the mortal candidates for life everlasting.

32:4.12 The Universal Father has poured out himself, as it were, to make all creation rich in personality possession and potential spiritual attainment. God has given us himself that we may be like him, and he has reserved for himself of power and glory only that which is necessary for the maintenance of those things for the love of which he has thus divested himself of all things else.
