1:4.1 The [[infinity]] of the [[perfection]] of [[God]] is such that it eternally constitutes him [[mystery]]. And the greatest of all the unfathomable mysteries of God is the [[phenomenon]] of the [[Thought Adjusters|divine indwelling]] of [[mortal]] [[minds]]. The [[manner]] in which the Universal Father sojourns with the [[creatures]] of [[time]] is the most [[profound]] of all [[universe]] mysteries; the divine [[presence]] in the mind of [[Human|man]] is the mystery of mysteries.

1:4.2 The [[physical]] [[bodies]] of [[mortals]] are "the temples of God."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1st_Letter_of_Paul_to_the_Corinthians#1st_Letter_of_Paul_to_the_Corinthians.2C_III] Notwithstanding that the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_21#21:5._RELATION_OF_MASTER_SONS_TO_THE_UNIVERSE Sovereign Creator Sons] come near the creatures of their inhabited worlds and "draw all men to themselves"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_John#Chapter_6][http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_John#Chapter_6]; though they "stand at the door" of [[consciousness]] "and knock"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Revelation#Chapter_3] and delight to come in to all who will "open the doors of their [[hearts]]"[http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/h/helenkelle121474.html]; although there does exist this [[intimate]] [[personal]] [[communion]] between the [[Creator Sons]] and their [[mortal]] [[creatures]], nevertheless, mortal men have something from [[God]] himself which actually dwells within them; their [[bodies]] are the temples thereof.

1:4.3 When you are through down here, when your course has been run in temporary form on [[earth]], when your trial trip in the [[flesh]] is finished, when the dust that composes the mortal tabernacle "returns to the earth whence it came"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Genesis#Chapter_.3]; then, it is [[revealed]], the indwelling "Spirit shall return to God who gave it."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Ecclesiastes#Chapter_.12] There sojourns within each moral being of this planet a [[Thought Adjuster|fragment of God]], a part and parcel of [[divinity]]. It is not yet yours by right of possession, but it is designedly [[intended]] to be one with you if you survive the [[mortal]] [[existence]].

1:4.4 We are constantly confronted with this [[mystery]] of [[God]]; we are nonplused by the increasing unfolding of the endless [[panorama]] of the [[truth]] of his infinite [[goodness]], endless [[mercy]], matchless [[wisdom]], and superb [[character]].

1:4.5 The [[divine]] [[mystery]] consists in the inherent [[difference]] which exists between the [[finite]] and the [[infinite]], the temporal and the eternal, the [[time-space]] [[creature]] and the [[Universal]] [[Creator]], the [[material]] and the [[spiritual]], the imperfection of man and the [[perfection]] of [[Paradise]] [[Deity]]. The God of universal [[love]] unfailingly [[manifests]] himself to every one of his [[creatures]] up to the fullness of that creature's capacity to spiritually grasp the qualities of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_56#56:10._TRUTH.2C_BEAUTY.2C_AND_GOODNESS divine truth, beauty, and goodness].

1:4.6 To every spirit [[being]] and to every [[mortal]] [[creature]] in every sphere and on every world of the [[universe of universes]], the Universal Father reveals all of his [[gracious]] and divine self that can be [[discerne]]d or [[comprehended]] by such spirit beings and by such mortal creatures. God is no respecter of persons, either spiritual or material. The divine presence which any child of the universe enjoys at any given [[moment]] is limited only by the capacity of such a creature to receive and to discern the spirit actualities of the supermaterial world.

1:4.7 As a [[reality]] in human spiritual [[experience]] God is not a [[mystery]]. But when an attempt is made to make plain the realities of the spirit world to the [[physical]] [[mind]]s of the [[material]] order, mystery appears: mysteries so subtle and so [[profound]] that only the [[faith]]-grasp of the God-knowing mortal can achieve the philosophic [[miracle]] of the recognition of the [[Infinite]] by the [[finite]], the [[discernment]] of the eternal [[God]] by the evolving mortals of the material worlds of [[time and space]].
