Eternity

The attainment of the Universal Father is the passport to eternity, notwithstanding the remaining circuits to be traversed. 26:9.2

in hypothetical beginning there was no differentiation throughout all infinity 105:1.5

in eternity all is, even if unrevealed in time and space 115:3.11

there are records kept since personification of Infinite Spirit 25:6.6

time is the moving image of eternity and space is the fleeting shadow of Paradise realities 189:1.3

In the Urantia Book

Conception of eternity

• circular simultaneity, not linear sequence. That which formerly appeared as a succession of events then will be viewed as a whole and perfectly related cycle; in this way will circular simultaneity increasingly displace the onetime consciousness of the linear sequence of events. 130:7.5
• it is more fitting to conceive of eternity as a cycle and the eternal purpose as an endless circle, a cycle of eternity in some way synchronized with the transient material cycles of time 32:5.4-5
• it is needed to concede human philosophy a point of origin; even personalities far above the human level require a concept of “beginnings.” Nevertheless, the Paradise-Havona system is eternal. (6:0.2,4) 14:4.10
• In the evolutionary universes eternity is temporal everlastingness—the everlasting now. 118:1.1
• time-space creatures cannot comprehend eternity 32:5.6 116:2.3
