Partial, incomplete, and evolving [[intellect]]s would be helpless in the [[universe]], would be unable to form the first rational thought pattern, were it not for the innate ability of all [[mind]], high or low, to form a universe frame in which to think. If mind cannot fathom conclusions, if it cannot penetrate to true origins, then will such mind unfailingly postulate conclusions and invent [[origin]]s that it may have a means of [[logic]]al thought within the frame of these mind-created postulates. And while such universe frames for creature thought are indispensable to rational intellectual operations, they are, without exception, erroneous to a greater or lesser degree.
Conceptual frames of the universe are only relatively true; they are serviceable scaffolding which must eventually give way before the expansions of enlarging [[cosmic]] comprehension. The understandings of [[truth]], [[beauty]], and [[goodness]], [[morality]], [[ethics]], [[duty]], [[love]], [[divinity]], [[origin]], [[existence]], [[purpose]], [[destiny]], [[time]], [[space]], even [[Deity]], are only relatively true. God is much, much more than a Father, but the Father is man's highest concept of God; nonetheless, the Father-Son portrayal of Creator-creature relationship will be augmented by those supermortal conceptions of Deity which will be attained in [[Orvonton]], in [[Havona]], and on [[Paradise]]. Man must think in a mortal universe frame, but that does not mean that he cannot envision other and higher frames within which thought can take place.
