| From Animal to God |
Introduction From the Universal Father who inhabits eternity there
has gone forth the supreme mandate, "Be you perfect, even as I am perfect." The messengers of Paradise have carried
this divine exhortation down through the ages and out through the universes, even to such lowly animal-origin creatures as
the human races of Urantia (Earth). God-knowing creatures have only one
supreme ambition, just one consuming desire, and that is to become, as they are in their spheres, like him as he is in his
Paradise perfection of personality and in his universal sphere of righteous supremacy. The transcendent
goal of the children of time is to find the eternal God, to comprehend the divine nature, and to recognize the Universal Father.

Understanding Truth, Beauty, and Goodness Earth mortals have some grasp of philosophy, the study of truth.
Mortals too often limit their study
of beauty to man's crude artistic endeavors. Beauty is largely a matter of the unification of contrasts.
Variety is essential to the concept of beauty. The
supreme beauty, the height of finite art, is the drama of the unification of the vastness of the cosmic extremes of Creator and creature, i.e., man finding God and God finding man - the
creature becoming perfect like the Creator. This beauty is the celestial achievement of the supremely beautiful, the attainment
of the apex of cosmic art. Man comprehends divinity in worship, social service, and personal spiritual experience. Goodness is the mental recognition of the relative values of the diverse levels of divine perfection. The recognition of goodness implies a mind of moral
status, a personal mind with ability to discriminate between good and evil. The possession of goodness, (greatness), is the measure of real divinity attainment.

Understanding Matter, Mind, and Spirit Physical matter is the time-space shadow of the Paradise energy-shining of the
absolute Deities (the Universal Father, the Eternal Son, and the Infinite Spirit).
Truth meanings are the mortal-intellect repercussions of the eternal word of Deity - the time-space comprehension
of supreme concepts. The
goodness values of divinity are the merciful
ministries of the spirit personalities of the Universal Father, the Eternal Son, and the
Infinite Spirit to the time-space finite creatures of the evolutionary spheres.
