The book of Urantia - The Personality of the Infinite Spirit

Document 8

Do not let the vast gifts and the vast distribution of the Third Source and Center cloud and distract you from the fact of your personality. The Infinite Spirit is a universal presence, an eternal action, a cosmic power, a holy influence, and a universal mind; It is all these things and infinitely more, but it is also a true and divine personality.

The Infinite Spirit is a complete and perfect personality, the divine equivalent and coordinated of the Universal Father and the Eternal Son. The Joint Creator is so real and visible to the highest intelligences of the universes as they are the Father and the Son; And even more so, because it is the Spirit to whom all ascendants must reach before they can through the Son, have access to the Father.

The Infinite Spirit, the Third Person of the Deity, possesses all the attributes that you associate with the personality. The Spirit is endowed with an absolute mind: "The Spirit discovers all things, even the deep things of God." The Spirit is endowed not only with the mind but also with the will. In the granting of his gifts he has registered: "But all these things are done by one and the same Spirit, distributing each one in particular as he wants."

"The love of the Spirit" is real, as are their thoughts; Therefore "do not afflict the Spirit of God." Whether we contemplate the Infinite Spirit as Deity of Paradise or as the Creator Spirit of the local universe, we find that the Joint Creator is not only the Third Source and Center but also a divine person. This divine personality also reacts as a person to the universe. The Spirit speaks to you: "He who has ears, hear what the Spirit says." «The Spirit itself intercedes for you». The Spirit exerts a direct and personal influence on the created beings, "because all who are guided by the Spirit of God, these are children of God."

Although we contemplate the phenomenon of the ministry of the Infinite Spirit in the remote worlds of the universe of universes, although we conceive this same Deity coordinator acting in undeniable legions of the multiple beings and through the same ones that come from the Third Source and Center, although we recognize The omnipresence of the Spirit, however, continues to affirm that this same Third Source and Center is a person, the Joint Creator of all things and of all beings and all universes.

In the administration of the universes, the Father, the Son and the Spirit are perfect and eternally inter-associated. Although everyone is consecrated to the personal ministry for all creation, the three are intertwined divine and absolutely in a creation and control service that forever makes them one.

In the person of the Infinite Spirit, the Father and the Son are mutually present, always and in perfection without qualification, because the Spirit is similar to the Father and similar to the Son, and similarly to the Father and the Son since they are eternally one .
