Paper 5
God’s Relation to the Individual
Introduction
1If the finite mind of man is unable to comprehend how so great and so majestic a God as the Universal Father can descend from his eternal abode in infinite perfection to fraternize with the individual human creature, then must such a finite intellect rest assurance of divine fellowship upon the truth of the fact that an actual fragment of the living God resides within the intellect of every normal-minded and morally conscious Urantia mortal. The indwelling Thought Adjusters are a part of the eternal Deity of the Paradise Father. Man does not have to go farther than his own inner experience of the soul’s contemplation of this spiritual-reality presence to find God and attempt communion with him.
- God › finding God › through soul’s contemplation of inner spiritual reality
- spiritual communion › Father’s personality only grasped in
- Thought Adjusters › arrival › sent to all normal morally conscious mortals
- Thought Adjusters › nature of Adjusters › actual fragment of highest and eternal reality, the original Father
- Universal Father › functions › bestows Thought Adjusters
2God has distributed the infinity of his eternal nature throughout the existential realities of his six absolute co-ordinates, but he may, at any time, make direct personal contact with any part or phase or kind of creation through the agency of his prepersonal fragments. And the eternal God has also reserved to himself the prerogative of bestowing personality upon the divine Creators and the living creatures of the universe of universes, while he has further reserved the prerogative of maintaining direct and parental contact with all these personal beings through the personality circuit.

- personality › source of personality › bestowed by Father as potentially eternal endowment
- personality circuit › Father maintains parental contact with all persons by means of
- Universal Father › delegation of power › Father has distributed himself to his 6 absolute co-ordinates
