Arms entwined, the couple walked beneath the trees. He was the sky in which her soul had learned to soar, and she was the constellation in which his being had come to navigate. In an age of alienating sexual competition, which disrupted lives to the point where social views presumed to dictate spiritual teachings about the nature and gender of God himself, these two were serenely one.

A peaceful glade beckoned. Seating themselves on the grass, they leaned together, sharing thoughts and feelings. Love and reverence mingled, lifting them in an ascending spiral to glad worship. Invisible light from the inner presence burst through the prism of their souls, and they were given a vision of the greater truths of their being.

They saw the One, everlastingly holding in existence One like Himself, The Second, who, with The First, continually upholds their jointness in the person of The Third (109-112). They saw innumerable Creator Children coming forth, each a unique personalization of the ideals conceived in an individual union of the First and Second Sources (234-235). They saw each First-Second Source Creator Offspring, accompanied by a child of the Third Source, setting out from the parental abode to establish their own inhabited universe (235-237).

The two saw a Creator Offspring establish the universe in which they lived. On its heavenly headquarters, he created material creatures, of and by himself. Male and female he made, each sex illustrative of one of the Sources of his dual nature (415B). On the planets, he caused life to appear and evolve. Through such a process, man and woman finally came to stand on Earth--Urantia. In the councils on high, the male was named Andon, signifying the first First-Sourcelike creature to exhibit human perfection hunger; and the female was named Fonta, signifying the first Second-Sourcelike creature to exhibit human perfection hunger (711B).

This Creator Offspring was Michael, who for a while took on the life of a man, Jesus of Nazareth, teaching life-bringing truth. Of the indwelling of an individual spirit fragment of the First Source in every normal man and woman, he taught, in human concepts descriptive of the First Source's nature, perceivable as maleness, and relationship to men and women, perceivable as parenthood. This he summarized in the teaching: God is your Father. Of the Second source, who is Mother and also Son, he taught that which is important to survival: that men and women share the Son aspect in that they are children of the Father and can aspire to become like him (through attunement with the indwelling Father Fragment). This he summarized in the statement that men and women are sons of God. Of unending life through ultimate oneness with this spirit, he taught, in the statement that the truth of the Fatherhood of God and the Sonship of man, if believed with a whole heart, is eternal salvation (1593A).

The evening star shone like a beacon of eternity when the couple arose, but they had their beacons in each other. Years of selfless togetherness had taught their souls one more thing, not yet revealed to their minds: wonderful new realities come into being in the living partnership of man and woman. One day it would be revealed to them that the reason for this is that the nature of each of the three--not just two--perfectly coordinate Paradise Sources is reflected in a separate human gender. The third human sex on Urantia, reflecting the nature of the Third Source--the conjointness of the First and Second Sources--is man and woman united in true affection. The man, woman, man-woman triunion bears the image of the Paradise Trinity and is a demonstration of the fuller nature of the one who expressed himself in part in each human sex: the local Creator--the Son of God--who is the Father, the Son, and also the Father-Son (366).
