− | BACK in [[eternity]], when the Universal Father's "first" [[infinite]] and absolute thought finds in the Eternal Son such a perfect and adequate word for its [[divine]] expression, there ensues the supreme desire of both the Thought-God and the Word-God for a universal and infinite agent of mutual expression and combined action. | + | BACK in [[eternal|eternity]], when the Universal Father's "first" [[infinite]] and absolute thought finds in the Eternal Son such a perfect and adequate word for its [[divine]] expression, there ensues the supreme desire of both the Thought-God and the Word-God for a universal and infinite agent of mutual expression and combined action. |

| In the dawn of eternity both the Father and the Son become infinitely cognizant of their mutual [[interdependence]], their [[eternal]] and absolute oneness; and therefore do they enter into an infinite and everlasting covenant of divine partnership. This never-ending compact is made for the execution of their united concepts throughout all of the circle of eternity; and ever since this eternity event the Father and the Son continue in this divine union. | | In the dawn of eternity both the Father and the Son become infinitely cognizant of their mutual [[interdependence]], their [[eternal]] and absolute oneness; and therefore do they enter into an infinite and everlasting covenant of divine partnership.

| The God of Action functions and the dead vaults of space are astir. One billion perfect spheres flash into existence. Prior to this hypothetical eternity moment the space-energies inherent in Paradise are existent and potentially operative, but they have no actuality of being; neither can physical gravity be measured except by the reaction of material realities to its incessant pull. There is no [[material]] [[universe]] at this (assumed) eternally distant moment, but the very instant that one billion worlds materialize, there is in evidence [[gravity]] sufficient and adequate to hold them in the everlasting grasp of Paradise. | | The God of Action functions and the dead vaults of space are astir.

− | There now flashes through the creation of the Gods the second form of energy, and this outflowing [[spirit]] is instantly grasped by the spiritual gravity of the [[Eternal Son]]. Thus the twofold gravity-embraced universe is touched with the [[energy]] of infinity and immersed in the spirit of [[divinity]]. In this way is the soil of life prepared for the [[consciousness]] of mind made manifest in the associated [[intelligence]] circuits of the Infinite Spirit. | + | There now flashes through the creation of the Gods the second form of energy, and this outflowing [[spirit]] is instantly grasped by the spiritual gravity of the [http://urantia.org/papers/paper6.html Eternal Son].

| Upon these seeds of potential existence, diffused throughout the central creation of the Gods, the Father acts, and creature personality appears. Then does the [[presence]] of the Paradise Deities fill all organized space and begin effectively to draw all things and beings Paradiseward. | | Upon these seeds of potential existence, diffused throughout the central creation of the Gods, the Father acts, and creature personality appears.
