![The Paradise Trinity](https://themasterproject.love/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/98910757_s-below-titles-green-Future-123rf.gif)
The Trinity is Deity unity, and this unity rests eternally upon the absolute foundations of the divine oneness of the three original and co-ordinate and coexistent personalities, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit.
Quote from The URANTIA Book, 0108:02
Dear Reader! If the quote above seems forbiddingly abstract, I ask your forbearance. I am aware that philosophers and divines have been disputing the oneness of the Universal Father and the three persons of Deity for a thousand years and more, in some cases literally to death.
That is not my purpose here. It is simply that to understand the actors in our history, we need to know their parentage. The Deities of the Paradise Trinity are resident on Paradise and exist in eternity, not bounded by space, not conditioned by time. We will not find the Deities, personally, in time or space.
“God is both infinite and personal; he is an infinite personality” (0027:03). “Only a person can love and be loved” (0031:03). We are persons who can love the Universal Father; by loving Him, we can know Him. We can know the Deities of the Paradise Trinity: “And they are three distinctly individualized but eternally associated persons, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit” (0090:04). On Paradise, we can know the Deities, as personalities, as completely as our accomplishment allows. The Deities are infinite, but our knowing extends without limit. The Universal Father is not holding back!
But where we are, out here in universes bounded by space and conditioned by time, the most we can do, personally, to know the Universal Father is to know His Son, our Creator Son. Our Creator Son is the Son of the Universal Father and the Eternal Son. “It is a fact: He who has seen a Creator Son has seen the Father” (0361:01).
Our local universe (10 million inhabited worlds, eventually!) is the creation of our Creator Son and our Divine Minister, his Spirit consort. In this universe, we lovingly remember her as our Divine Minister because our angels and ministering spirits spring from her. She is our Creative Spirit, our Universe Mother Spirit. Our Creative Spirit is the Daughter of the Infinite Spirit. Our Creator Son and our Creative Spirit are equals and the cosovereigns of our local universe.
Therefore, the Creators of our local universe are the direct offspring of the three Deities of Paradise. Our Creator Son is the 611,121st of the Paradise order of Michael Sons; our Creative Spirit is the 611,121st of the sixth group of Supreme Spirits. In the universes of time and space, there will be 700,000 of these local universes, apportioned equally in seven superuniverses; we live in Orvonton, the seventh superuniverse.
Within their local universe, our Creator Son and Creative Spirit coordinate perfectly to liberate themselves from time and space limitations. Our Creative Spirit is completely space conscious, and is everywhere personally present, independent of space, but not of time. Our Creator Son acts independently of time, but not of space. But within their universe, in order that both function independently of time and space, our Creator Son and Creative Spirit avail themselves of capabilities of each other. How marvelous! The divine pattern for male and female, laid out for us.
Since the celestials are not sex creatures, we should add a note about male and female, ideas that are deeply ingrained in the English language. “Nevertheless, in dealing with sex creatures it is our custom to speak of those beings of more direct descent from the Father and the Son as the sons of God, while referring to the children of the Spirit as the daughters of God. Angels are, therefore, commonly designated by feminine pronouns on the sex planets” (0419:02). We are delighted!
