118:0.11 While the [[domain]] of [[mathematics]] is beset with [[qualitative]] [[limitations]], it does provide the [[finite]] [[mind]] with a [[conceptual]] basis of [[contemplating]] [[infinity]]. There is no [[quantitative]] [[limitation]] to [[numbers]], even in the [[comprehension]] of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_42#10._UNIVERSAL_NONSPIRITUAL_ENERGY_SYSTEMS_.28MATERIAL_MIND_SYSTEMS.29 finite mind]. No matter how large the [[number]] conceived, you can always envisage one more being added. And also, you can [[comprehend]] that that is short of [[infinity]], for no matter how many times you repeat this addition to [[number]], still always one more can be added.[http://books.google.com/books?id=lXjF7JnHQoIC&printsec=frontcover&dq=to+infinity+and+beyond+eli+maor&source=bl&ots=-0tzBVJwr4&sig=GhciSCT1GdkDEioPlthevHDjVR8&hl=en&ei=QuHvTPqJMcGclgeRutXjDA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CC4Q6AEwAg]

118:0.12 At the [[same time]], the [[infinite]] [[series]] can be [[totaled]] at any given point, and this total (more properly, a subtotal) provides the fullness of the sweetness of goal [[attainment]] for a given [[person]] at a given [[time]] and [[status]]. But sooner or later, this same [[person]] begins to [[hunger]] and yearn for new and greater goals, and such [[adventures]] in [[growth]] will be forever forthcoming in the fullness of [[time]] and the [[cycles]] of [[eternity]].

==118:5. OMNIPOTENCE AND COMPOSSIBILITY==
   −
118:5.1 The [[omnipotence]] of [[Deity]] does not imply the [[power]] to do the nondoable. Within the [[time-space]] [[frame]] and from the [[intellectual]] [[reference]] [[point]] of [[mortal]] [[comprehension]], even the [[infinite]] [[God]] cannot [[create]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_(geometry) square] [[circles]] or produce [[evil]] that is [[inherently]] [[good]]. [[God]] cannot do the ungodlike [[thing]]. Such a [[contradiction]] of [[philosophic]] terms is the [[equivalent]] of nonentity and implies that nothing is thus created. A [[personality]] [[trait]] cannot at the same time be Godlike and ungodlike. [[Compossibility]] is [[innate]] in [[divine]] [[power]]. And all of this is derived from the [[fact]] that [[omnipotence]] not only [[creates]] [[things]] with a [[nature]] but also gives [[origin]] to the nature of [[all things]] and [[beings]].

118:5.2 In the beginning [[the Father]] does all, but as the [[panorama]] of [[eternity]] [[unfolds]] in [[response]] to the [[Free will|will]] and [[mandates]] of the [[Infinite]], it becomes increasingly [[apparent]] that [[creatures]], even men, are to become [[God]]'s [[partners]] in the [[realization]] of finality of [[destiny]]. And this is true even in the life in the [[flesh]]; when [[man]] and [[God]] enter into [[partnership]], no [[limitation]] can be placed upon the [[future]] [[possibilities]] of such a [[partnership]]. When man [[realizes]] that the [[Universal Father]] is his [[partner]] in [[eternal]] [[progression]], when he [[fuses]] with the [[Thought Adjuster|indwelling Father presence]], he has, in [[spirit]], broken the fetters of [[time]] and has already entered upon the [[progressions]] of [[eternity]] in the [[quest]] for the [[Universal Father]].

118:8.5 The [[whole]] [[principle]] of [[biologic]] [[evolution]] makes it impossible for [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_52#52:1._PRIMITIVE_MAN primitive man] to [[appear]] on the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 inhabited worlds] with any large [[endowment]] of [[self]]-[[restraint]]. Therefore does the same [[creative]] [[design]] which [[purposed]] [[evolution]] likewise provide those external restraints of [[time and space]], [[hunger]] and [[fear]], which effectively [[circumscribe]] the subspiritual [[choice]] range of such uncultured [[creatures]]. As man's mind successfully overstrides increasingly [[difficult]] barriers, this same [[creative]] [[design]] has also provided for the slow accumulation of the [[racial]] [[heritage]] of painfully garnered [[experiential]] [[wisdom]]—in other [[words]], for the [[maintenance]] of a [[balance]] between the diminishing external restraints and the augmenting internal restraints.

118:8.6 The slowness of [[evolution]], of [[human]] [[cultural]] [[progress]], testifies to the effectiveness of that brake—material [[inertia]]—which so [[efficiently]] operates to retard [[dangerous]] [[velocities]] of [[progress]]. Thus does time itself cushion and [[distribute]] the otherwise lethal results of premature [[escape]] from the next-[[encompassing]] barriers to [[human]] [[action]]. For when [[culture]] advances overfast, when [[material]] achievement outruns the [[evolution]] of [[worship]]-[[wisdom]], then does civilization contain within itself the [[seeds]] of [[retrogression]]; and unless buttressed by the swift [[augmentation]] of [[experiential]] [[wisdom]], such human [[societies]] will recede from high but premature levels of [[attainment]], and the "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_ages dark ages]" of the interregnum of [[wisdom]] will bear [[witness]] to the inexorable restoration of the imbalance between [[self]]-[[liberty]] and [[self]]-[[control]].
