| How the Father Functions Outside of Havona [1] | |
| Relinquishments of Jurisdiction [2] | |
| 1. | As creator, through the Creator Sons, his grandsons. |
| 2. | As controller, through the gravity center of Paradise. |
| 3. | As spirit, through the Eternal Son. |
| 4. | As mind, through the Conjoint Creator. |
| 5. | As a Father, he maintains parental contact with all creatures through his personality circuit. |
| 6. | As a person, he acts directly throughout creation by his exclusive fragments -- in mortal man by the Thought Adjusters. |
| 7. | As total Deity, he functions only in the Paradise Trinity. |
[1] "God is the Father-Absolute of all personalities in the universe of universes. The Father is personally absolute in liberty of action, but in the universes of time and space, made, in the making, and yet to be made, the Father is not discernibly absolute as total Deity except in the Paradise Trinity." [2] "All these relinquishments and delegations of jurisdiction by the Universal Father are wholly voluntary and self-imposed." |
