The Eternal Son

6:7.1The Eter­nal Son is that in­fi­nite per­son­al­ity from whose un­qual­i­fied per­son­al­ity fet­ters the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther es­caped by the tech­nique of trin­i­ti­za­tion, and by virtue of which he has ever since con­tin­ued to be­stow him­self in end­less pro­fu­sion upon his ever-ex­pand­ing uni­verse of Cre­ators and crea­tures. The Son is ab­so­lute per­son­al­ity; God is fa­ther per­son­al­ity—the source of per­son­al­ity, the be­stower of per­son­al­ity, the cause of per­son­al­ity. Ev­ery per­sonal be­ing de­rives per­son­al­ity from the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther just as the Orig­i­nal Son eter­nally de­rives his per­son­al­ity from the Par­a­dise Fa­ther.

6:7.2The per­son­al­ity of the Par­a­dise Son is ab­so­lute and purely spir­i­tual, and this ab­so­lute per­son­al­ity is also the di­vine and eter­nal pat­tern, first, of the Fa­ther’s be­stowal of per­son­al­ity upon the Con­joint Ac­tor and, sub­se­quently, of his be­stowal of per­son­al­ity upon the myr­i­ads of his crea­tures through­out a far-flung uni­verse.

6:7.3The Eter­nal Son is truly a mer­ci­ful min­is­ter, a di­vine spirit, a spir­i­tual power, and a real per­son­al­ity. The Son is the spir­i­tual and per­sonal na­ture of God made man­i­fest to the uni­verses—the sum and sub­stance of the First Source and Cen­ter, di­vested of all that which is non­per­sonal, ex­tradi­vine, non­spir­i­tual, and pure po­ten­tial. But it is im­pos­si­ble to con­vey to the hu­man mind a word pic­ture of the beauty and grandeur of the su­per­nal per­son­al­ity of the Eter­nal Son. Ev­ery­thing that tends to ob­scure the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther op­er­ates with al­most equal in­flu­ence to pre­vent the con­cep­tual rec­og­ni­tion of the Eter­nal Son. You must await your at­tain­ment of Par­a­dise, and then you will un­der­stand why I was un­able to por­tray the char­ac­ter of this ab­so­lute per­son­al­ity to the un­der­stand­ing of the fi­nite mind.
