The Urantia Book - The Relationship of the Spirit with the Father and the Son

Document 8

As the Eternal Son is the verbal expression of the "first" absolute and infinite thought of the Universal Father, so the Joint Actor is the perfect execution of the "first" concept or complete creative plan for the combined action of the personality society Father-Son , With absolute union of thought and word. The Third Source and Center is concurrently eternalized with the central creation or decree, and only this central creation has eternal existence between the universes.

Since the customization of the Third Source, the First Source no longer participates personally in the creation of the universe. The Universal Father delegates as much as possible to his Eternal Son; So the Eternal Son grants all the authority and power possible to the Joint Creator.

The Eternal Son and the Joint Creator have planned and devised, as partners and through their coordinated personalities, all the universes that have arisen after Havona. In all subsequent creations the Spirit maintains with the Son the same personal relationship that the Son maintains with the Father in the primary central creation.

A Creator Son of the Eternal Son and a Creator Spirit of the Infinite Spirit created you, to you and your universe; And while the Father faithfully maintains what they have organized, it is incumbent upon this Universal Son and this Universal Spirit to promote and sustain his work, as well as to minister to the creatures made by them.

The Infinite Spirit is the effective agent of the Father who loves all and the Almighty Son, for the execution of his joint project of attracting to all the loving souls of truth in all the worlds of time and space. In the same moment when the Eternal Son accepted the plan of his Father so that the creatures of the universes reached perfection, at the moment when the ascension project became a Father-Son plan, at that moment the Spirit Infinity became the associate administrator of the Father and the Son for the execution of his united and eternal purpose. And by doing so, the Infinite Spirit offers the Father and the Son all their resources of divine presence and spiritual personalities; He has dedicated everything to the formidable plan of raising the surviving volitional creatures to the divine heights of the perfection of Paradise.

The Infinite Spirit is a complete, exclusive and universal revelation of the Universal Father and his Eternal Son. Every knowledge of the Father-Son society must be obtained through the Infinite Spirit, the joint representative of the divine union of the word and thought.

The Eternal Son is the only path of access to the Universal Father, and the Infinite Spirit is the only means of reaching the Eternal Son. The ascending beings of time can only discover the Son through the patient ministry of the Spirit.

In the center of all things the Infinite Spirit is the first of the Deities of Paradise that the ascending pilgrims reach. The Third Person involves the Second and First People and therefore must always be recognized first by all who are candidates to appear before the Son and his Father.

And in many other ways the Spirit equally represents and serves the Father and his Son.
