3:5.1 In his contact with the post-[[Havona]] [[Superuniverse|creations]], the [[Universal Father]] does not exercise his infinite power and final [[authority]] by direct [[Transmitting|transmittal]] but rather through his [[Creator Sons|Sons]] and their [[Paper 35 - The Local Universe Sons of God|subordinate personalities]]. And God does all this of his own [[free will]]. Any and all powers delegated, if occasion should arise, if it should become the choice of the divine mind, could be exercised direct; but, as a rule, such [[action]] only takes place as a result of the failure of the delegated [[personality]] to fulfill the divine [[trust]]. At such times and in the face of such [[default]] and within the limits of the reservation of divine power and potential, the Father does act independently and in accordance with the [[mandates]] of his own [[choice]]; and that choice is always one of unfailing [[perfection]] and infinite [[wisdom]].

3:5.2 The Father rules [[Paper 30 - Personalities of the Grand Universe|through his Sons]]; on down through the universe organization there is an unbroken chain of rulers ending with the [[Planetary Prince]]s, who direct the destinies of the evolutionary [[spheres]] of the Father's vast domains. It is no mere poetic [[expression]] that exclaims: "The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Psalms#Psalm_24] "He removes kings and sets up kings." "The Most Highs rule in the kingdoms of men."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Daniel#Chapter_4]

3:5.3 In the affairs of men's [[hearts]] the [[Universal Father]] may not always have his way; but in the conduct and [[destiny]] of a [[planet]] the divine plan prevails; the eternal [[purpose]] of wisdom and [[love]] triumphs.

3:5.4 Said [[Jesus]]: "My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all; and no one is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_John#Chapter_10] As you glimpse the manifold [[work]]ings and view the staggering immensity of God's well-nigh limitless [[creation]], you may falter in your [[concept]] of his primacy, but you should not fail to accept him as securely and everlastingly enthroned at the [[Paradise]] [[center]] of [[Everything|all things]] and as the beneficent [[Father]] of all [[intelligent]] [[beings]]. There is but "one God and Father of all, who is above all and in all,"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Letter_of_Paul_to_the_Ephesians#The_Letter_of_Paul_to_the_Ephesians.2C_IV] "and he is before all [[things]], and in him all things consist."

3:5.5 The uncertainties of life and the vicissitudes of [[existence]] do not in any [[manner]] contradict the [[concept]] of the [[universal]] [[sovereignty]] of [[God]]. All [[evolutionary]] [[creature]] life is beset by certain inevitabilities. Consider the following:
