1. The infinity of God
«Touching the Infinite we cannot find it. The divine traces are unknown . »-« His understanding is infinite and His greatness unattainable. »The blinding Light of the Father's Presence is such that, for His mortal creatures He, apparently, « dwells in thick darkness ». Not only His thoughts and plans are unattainable, but "He does great and wonderful things, without number." - " GOD IS GREAT ; we cannot understand it, nor can the ages of His search be numbered. »-« Does God really dwell on earth? Listen, the universe and universe of universes cannot contain it. »
There is only one God, the infinite Father, who is also a faithful creator. «The Divine Creator is also the universal Disposer, the Source and Destiny of all souls. He is the Supreme Soul, the First Mind and the Unlimited Spirit of all creation. The Great Controller does not make mistakes. HE IS resplendent in majesty and glory. »-« God the Creator is totally empty of fear and enmity. He is the immortal, eternal, self-existent and divine. " -" How pure and beautiful, how profound and unattainable the super Ancestor of all things! "-" The Infinite is excellent for having granted His Being to men. HE IS the Beginning and the End, the Father of every good and perfect purpose. "-" With God all things are possible; the Eternal Creator is the cause of the causes. »
Notwithstanding the infinity and the wonderful manifestations of the universal and eternal personality of the Father, He is unqualifiedly self-conscious, both of His infinity and of his eternity; In the same way, He fully knows His perfection and His power . HE IS the only Being in the universe, in addition to His divine coordinators, who experiences his own, perfect and complete knowledge of Himself.
The Father is constantly and infallibly supplying the needs and demands, despite the differential of changing time in various sections of His master universe .
The Great God knows Himself; He is infinitely self-conscious of all His primary attributes of perfection. God is not a cosmic accident; Nor is he a universal experimenter. The Sovereigns of the universe may undertake adventures; the Fathers of the constellations may experience; Presidents of systems can practice, but the Universal Father sees the end from the beginning and His Divine Plan and His eternal purpose encompass and understand, currently, all the experiments and all the adventures of all his subordinates, in each of the worlds, systems and constellations of each universe of His vast domains.
Nothing is new to God and no cosmic event comes by surprise. He inhabits the circle of eternity. His days have no beginning or end. For God there is no past, present or future; Any time is an eternal now. HE IS the great and unique I AM .
The Universal Father is absolute and without finite qualification in all its attributes; and that fact, in itself, automatically closes the doors of all direct and personal communication with the finite and material beings and the other low intelligences created.
And all that needs and requires a lot of contact and communication with the diversity of creatures, as it has been ordered in the Principle, in the personalities of the Sons of God in Paradise, who - being perfect in divinity - share nature very often of flesh and blood of the planetary races, becoming one of you and one with you; in this way God becomes a man, as happened in the incarnation of MICHAEL, indistinctly called the Son of God and the Son of Man .
Second, there are the personalities of the Infinite Spirit, the various orders of the Seraphic Host and other celestial intelligences, which come very close to low-origin material beings and serve and supply him in countless ways. And third, there are the impersonal Monitors Ministries - the Thought Adjusters - the present gift that the Great God himself has sent to dwell in the humans of the earth, sent without announcement and without explanation. In a continuous profusion They descend from the heights of Glory, to grace and dwell in the humble minds of those mortals who possess the capacity and potential to reach Divine Consciousness. In this way and many others, in ways unknown to you and beyond all comprehension, the Father of Paradise, willingly and lovingly degrades, modifies, dilutes and attenuates His infinity in order to approach the finite minds of His creatures and Thus, through distributed series of personalities from the most subtle to the most dense, the Infinite Father achieves immediate contact with the diverse intelligences of many planes and abodes of his immense universe .
All this he has done and now he continues to do and will continue to do it with certainty, without detracting in the least from the fact and reality of His infinity, eternity and primacy. And all these things are absolutely true, despite the difficulties of their understanding, the mystery in which they are locked or the impossibility of being fully understood by the creatures that dwell on the earth .
Since the First Father is infinite in His plans and eternal in His purposes, it is inherently impossible for any finite being, the possibility - even to intuit or understand those Divine plans and those purposes in their fullness . The mortal man will be able to capture fragments of the purpose, only in a moment of the here and now, as they are being revealed in relation to the progressive development of the different levels of the ascending creature's plan. Although man cannot compare the significance of infinity, the Infinite Father fully and surely understands, and lovingly embraces all the finitude of all His children, in all universes.
The Father shares divinity and eternity with numerous High Beings of Paradise, but we wonder if He shares it with other types of intelligences. The infinity of personality must necessarily embrace all the finitude of the personality; hence the truth - the literal truth - of the teaching that declares that, in we live, we move and have our Being. That fragment of the pure Deity of the Universal Father, who dwells in mortal man, is a part of the infinite OF THE FIRST AND GREAT SOURCE AND CENTER, THE FATHER OF PARENTS.
