In brief, the Infinite Spirit testifies that, since he is eternal, so also is the central universe eternal. And this is the traditional starting point of the [[history]] of the [[The Universe of Universes|universe of universes]]. Absolutely nothing is known, and no records are in existence, regarding any event or transaction prior to this stupendous eruption of [[creativity|creative]] energy and administrative [[wisdom]] that crystallized the vast universe which exists, and so exquisitely functions, at the center of all things. Beyond this event lie the unsearchable transactions of eternity and the depths of infinity--absolute mystery.

And we thus portray the sequential origin of the Third Source and Center as an interpretative condescension to the time-bound and space-conditioned mind of mortal creatures. The mind of man must have a starting point for the visualization of universe history, and I have been directed to provide this technique of approach to the historic concept of eternity. In the material mind, consistency demands a First Cause; therefore do we postulate the Universal Father as the First Source and the Absolute Center of all creation, at the same time instructing all creature [[mind]]s that the Son and the Spirit are coeternal with the Father in all phases of universe history and in all realms of creative activity. And we do this without in any sense being disregardful of the [[reality]] and eternity of the Isle of Paradise and of the [[Unqualified Absolute|Unqualified]], [[Universal Absolute|Universal]], and [[Deity Absolute]]s.

It is enough of a reach of the material mind of the children of [[time]] to conceive of the Father in eternity. We know that any child can best relate himself to reality by first mastering the relationships of the child-parent situation and then by enlarging this concept to embrace the family as a whole. Subsequently the growing mind of the child will be able to adjust to the concept of family relations, to relationships of the [[community]], the [[race]], and the world, and then to those of the universe, the [[superuniverse]], even the [[The Universe of Universes|universe of universes]].[http://urantia.org/papers/paper8.html]
