Introduction
|
|
|
|
THE seven Supreme Spirit groups are the universal co-ordinating directors of
|
|
the seven-segmented administration of the grand universe. Although all are
|
|
classed among the functional family of the Infinite Spirit, the following three
|
|
groups are usually classified as children of the Paradise Trinity:
|
|
|
|
1. The Seven Master Spirits.
|
|
|
|
2. The Seven Supreme Executives.
|
|
|
|
3. The Reflective Spirits.
|
|
|
|
The remaining four groups are brought into being by the creative acts of the
|
|
Infinite Spirit or by his associates of creative status:
|
|
|
|
4. The Reflective Image Aids.
|
|
|
|
5. The Seven Spirits of the Circuits.
|
|
|
|
6. The Local Universe Creative Spirits.
|
|
|
|
7. The Adjutant Mind-Spirits.
|
|
|
|
These seven orders are known on Uversa as the seven Supreme Spirit groups.
|
|
Their functional domain extends from the personal presence of the Seven Master
|
|
Spirits on the periphery of the eternal Isle, through the seven Paradise
|
|
satellites of the Spirit, the Havona circuits, the governments of the
|
|
superuniverses, and the administration and supervision of the local universes,
|
|
even to the lowly service of the adjutants bestowed upon the realms of
|
|
evolutionary mind on the worlds of time and space.
|
|
|
|
The Seven Master Spirits are the co-ordinating directors of this far-flung
|
|
administrative realm. In some matters pertaining to the administrative
|
|
regulation of organized physical power, mind energy, and impersonal spirit
|
|
ministry, they act personally and directly, and in others they function through
|
|
their multifarious associates. In all matters of an executive nature--rulings,
|
|
regulations, adjustments, and administrative decisions--the Master Spirits act
|
|
in the persons of the Seven Supreme Executives. In the central universe the
|
|
Master Spirits may function through the Seven Spirits of the Havona Circuits;
|
|
on the headquarters of the seven superuniverses they reveal themselves through
|
|
the channel of the Reflective Spirits and act through the persons of the
|
|
Ancients of Days, with whom they are in personal communication through the
|
|
Reflective Image Aids.
|
|
|
|
The Seven Master Spirits do not directly and personally contact universe
|
|
administration below the courts of the Ancients of Days. Your local universe is
|
|
administered as a part of our superuniverse by the Master Spirit of Orvonton,
|
|
but his function in relation to the native beings of Nebadon is immediately
|
|
discharged and personally directed by the Creative Mother Spirit resident on
|
|
Salvington, the headquarters of your local universe.

|
1. THE SEVEN SUPREME EXECUTIVES
|
|
|
|
The executive headquarters of the Master Spirits occupy the seven Paradise
|
|
satellites of the Infinite Spirit, which swing around the central Isle between
|
|
the shining spheres of the Eternal Son and the innermost Havona circuit. These
|
|
executive spheres are under the direction of the Supreme Executives, a group of
|
|
seven who were trinitized by the Father, Son, and Spirit in accordance with the
|
|
specifications of the Seven Master Spirits for beings of a type that could
|
|
function as their universal representatives.
|
|
|
|
The Master Spirits maintain contact with the various divisions of the
|
|
superuniverse governments through these Supreme Executives. It is they who very
|
|
largely determine the basic constitutive trends of the seven superuniverses.
|
|
They are uniformly and divinely perfect, but they also possess diversity of
|
|
personality. They have no presiding head; each time they meet together, they
|
|
choose one of their number to preside over that joint council. Periodically
|
|
they journey to Paradise to sit in council with the Seven Master Spirits.
|
|
|
|
The Seven Supreme Executives function as the administrative co-ordinators of
|
|
the grand universe; they might be termed the board of managing directors of the
|
|
post-Havona creation. They are not concerned with the internal affairs of
|
|
Paradise, and they direct their limited spheres of Havona activity through the
|
|
Seven Spirits of the Circuits. Otherwise there are few limits to the scope of
|
|
their supervision; they engage in the direction of things physical,
|
|
intellectual, and spiritual; they see all, hear all, feel all, even know all,
|
|
that transpires in the seven superuniverses and in Havona.
|
|
|
|
These Supreme Executives do not originate policies, nor do they modify universe
|
|
procedures; they are concerned with the execution of the plans of divinity
|
|
promulgated by the Seven Master Spirits. Neither do they interfere with the
|
|
rule of the Ancients of Days in the superuniverses nor with the sovereignty of
|
|
the Creator Sons in the local universes. They are the co-ordinating executives
|
|
whose function it is to carry out the combined policies of all duly constituted
|
|
rulers in the grand universe.
|
|
|
|
Each of the executives and the facilities of his sphere are devoted to the
|
|
efficient administration of a single superuniverse. Supreme Executive Number
|
|
One, functioning on executive sphere number one, is wholly occupied with the
|
|
affairs of superuniverse number one, and so on to Supreme Executive Number
|
|
Seven, working from the seventh Paradise satellite of the Spirit and devoting
|
|
his energies to the management of the seventh superuniverse. The name of this
|
|
seventh sphere is Orvonton, for the Paradise satellites of the Spirit have the
|
|
same names as their related superuniverses; in fact, the superuniverses were
|
|
named after them.
|
|
|
|
On the executive sphere of the seventh superuniverse the staff engaged in
|
|
keeping straight the affairs of Orvonton runs into numbers beyond human
|
|
comprehension and embraces practically every order of celestial intelligence.
|
|
All superuniverse services of personality dispatch (except Inspired Trinity
|
|
Spirits and Thought Adjusters) pass through one of these seven executive worlds
|
|
on their universe journeys to and from Paradise, and here are maintained the
|
|
central registries for all personalities created by the Third Source and Center
|
|
who function in the superuniverses. The system of material, morontial, and
|
|
|
|
top of page - 199
|
|
|
|
spiritual records on one of these executive worlds of the Spirit amazes even a
|
|
being of my order.
|
|
|
|
The immediate subordinates of the Supreme Executives consist for the greater
|
|
part of the trinitized sons of Paradise-Havona personalities and of the
|
|
trinitized offspring of the glorified mortal graduates from the agelong
|
|
training of the ascendant scheme of time and space. These trinitized sons are
|
|
designated for service with the Supreme Executives by the chief of the Supreme
|
|
Council of the Paradise Corps of the Finality.
|
|
|
|
Each Supreme Executive has two advisory cabinets: The children of the Infinite
|
|
Spirit on the headquarters of each superuniverse choose representatives from
|
|
their ranks to serve for one millennium in the primary advisory cabinet of
|
|
their Supreme Executive. In all matters affecting the ascending mortals of
|
|
time, there is a secondary cabinet, consisting of mortals of Paradise
|
|
attainment and of the trinitized sons of glorified mortals; this body is chosen
|
|
by the perfecting and ascending beings who transiently dwell on the seven
|
|
superuniverse headquarters. All other chiefs of affairs are appointed by the
|
|
Supreme Executives.
|
|
|
|
From time to time, great conclaves take place on these Paradise satellites of
|
|
the Spirit. Trinitized sons assigned to these worlds, together with the
|
|
ascenders who have attained Paradise, assemble with the spirit personalities of
|
|
the Third Source and Center in the reunions of the struggles and triumphs of
|
|
the ascendant career. The Supreme Executives always preside over such fraternal
|
|
gatherings.
|
|
|
|
Once in each Paradise millennium the Seven Supreme Executives vacate their
|
|
seats of authority and go to Paradise, where they hold their millennial
|
|
conclave of universal greeting and well-wishing to the intelligent hosts of
|
|
creation. This eventful occasion takes place in the immediate presence of
|
|
Majeston, the chief of all reflective spirit groups. And they are thus able to
|
|
communicate simultaneously with all their associates in the grand universe
|
|
through the unique functioning of universal reflectivity.
|
|
|
|
2. MAJESTON--CHIEF OF REFLECTIVITY
|
|
|
|
The Reflective Spirits are of divine Trinity origin. There are fifty of these
|
|
unique and somewhat mysterious beings. Seven of these extraordinary
|
|
personalities were created at a time, and each such creative episode was
|
|
effected by a liaison of the Paradise Trinity and one of the Seven Master
|
|
Spirits.
|
|
|
|
This momentous transaction, occurring in the dawn of time, represents the
|
|
initial effort of the Supreme Creator Personalities, represented by the Master
|
|
Spirits, to function as cocreators with the Paradise Trinity. This union of the
|
|
creative power of the Supreme Creators with the creative potentials of the
|
|
Trinity is the very source of the actuality of the Supreme Being. Therefore,
|
|
when the cycle of reflective creation had run its course, when each of the
|
|
Seven Master Spirits had found perfect creative synchrony with the Paradise
|
|
Trinity, when the forty-ninth Reflective Spirit had personalized, then a new
|
|
and far-reaching reaction occurred in the Deity Absolute which imparted new
|
|
personality prerogatives to the Supreme Being and culminated in the
|
|
personalization of Majeston, the reflectivity chief and Paradise center of all
|
|
the work of the forty-nine Reflective Spirits and their associates throughout
|
|
the universe of universes.
|
|
|
|
top of page - 200
|
|
|
|
Majeston is a true person, the personal and infallible center of reflectivity
|
|
phenomena in all seven superuniverses of time and space. He maintains permanent
|
|
Paradise headquarters near the center of all things at the rendezvous of the
|
|
Seven Master Spirits. He is concerned solely with the co-ordination and
|
|
maintenance of the reflectivity service in the far-flung creation; he is not
|
|
otherwise involved in the administration of universe affairs.
|
|
|
|
Majeston is not included in our catalogue of Paradise personalities because he
|
|
is the only existing personality of divinity created by the Supreme Being in
|
|
functional liaison with the Deity Absolute. He is a person, but he is
|
|
exclusively and apparently automatically concerned with this one phase of
|
|
universe economy; he does not now function in any personal capacity with
|
|
relation to other (nonreflective) orders of universe personalities.
|
|
|
|
The creation of Majeston signalized the first supreme creative act of the
|
|
Supreme Being. This will to action was volitional in the Supreme Being, but the
|
|
stupendous reaction of the Deity Absolute was not foreknown. Not since the
|
|
eternity-appearance of Havona had the universe witnessed such a tremendous
|
|
factualization of such a gigantic and far-flung alignment of power and
|
|
co-ordination of functional spirit activities. The Deity response to the
|
|
creative wills of the Supreme Being and his associates was vastly beyond their
|
|
purposeful intent and greatly in excess of their conceptual forecasts.
|
|
|
|
We stand in awe of the possibility of what the future ages, wherein the Supreme
|
|
and the Ultimate may attain new levels of divinity and ascend to new domains of
|
|
personality function, may witness in the realms of the deitization of still
|
|
other unexpected and undreamed of beings who will possess unimagined powers of
|
|
enhanced universe co-ordination. There would seem to be no limit to the Deity
|
|
Absolute's potential of response to such unification of relationships between
|
|
experiential Deity and the existential Paradise Trinity.
|
|
|
|
3. THE REFLECTIVE SPIRITS
|
|
|
|
The forty-nine Reflective Spirits are of Trinity origin, but each of the seven
|
|
creative episodes attendant upon their appearance was productive of a type of
|
|
being in nature resembling the characteristics of the coancestral Master
|
|
Spirit. Thus they variously reflect the natures and characters of the seven
|
|
possible combinations of the association of the divinity characteristics of the
|
|
Universal Father, the Eternal Son, and the Infinite Spirit. For this reason it
|
|
is necessary to have seven of these Reflective Spirits on the headquarters of
|
|
each superuniverse. One of each of the seven types is required in order to
|
|
achieve the perfect reflection of all phases of every possible manifestation of
|
|
the three Paradise Deities as such phenomena might occur in any part of the
|
|
seven superuniverses. One of each type was accordingly assigned to service in
|
|
each of the superuniverses. These groups of seven dissimilar Reflective Spirits
|
|
maintain headquarters on the capitals of the superuniverses at the reflective
|
|
focus of each realm, and this is not identical with the point of spiritual
|
|
polarity.
|
|
|
|
The Reflective Spirits have names, but these designations are not revealed on
|
|
the worlds of space. They pertain to the nature and character of these beings
|
|
and are a part of one of the seven universal mysteries of the secret spheres of
|
|
Paradise.
|
|
|
|
top of page - 201
|
|
|
|
The attribute of reflectivity, the phenomenon of the mind levels of the
|
|
Conjoint Actor, the Supreme Being, and the Master Spirits, is transmissible to
|
|
all beings concerned in the working of this vast scheme of universal
|
|
intelligence. And herein is a great mystery: Neither the Master Spirits nor the
|
|
Paradise Deities, singly or collectively, disclose these powers of co-ordinate
|
|
universal reflectivity just as they are manifested in these forty-nine liaison
|
|
personalities of Majeston, and yet they are the creators of all these
|
|
marvelously endowed beings. Divine heredity does sometimes disclose in the
|
|
creature certain attributes which are not discernible in the Creator.
|
|
|
|
The personnel of the reflectivity service, with the exception of Majeston and
|
|
the Reflective Spirits, are all the creatures of the Infinite Spirit and his
|
|
immediate associates and subordinates. The Reflective Spirits of each
|
|
superuniverse are the creators of their Reflective Image Aids, their personal
|
|
voices to the courts of the Ancients of Days.
|
|
|
|
The Reflective Spirits are not merely transmitting agents; they are retentive
|
|
personalities as well. Their offspring, the seconaphim, are also retentive or
|
|
record personalities. Everything of true spiritual value is registered in
|
|
duplicate, and one impression is preserved in the personal equipment of some
|
|
member of one of the numerous orders of secoraphic personalities belonging to
|
|
the vast staff of the Reflective Spirits.
|
|
|
|
The formal records of the universes are passed up by and through the angelic
|
|
recorders, but the true spiritual records are assembled by reflectivity and are
|
|
preserved in the minds of suitable and appropriate personalities belonging to
|
|
the family of the Infinite Spirit. These are the live records in contrast with
|
|
the formal and dead records of the universe, and they are perfectly preserved
|
|
in the living minds of the recording personalities of the Infinite Spirit.
|
|
|
|
The reflectivity organization is also the news-gathering and the
|
|
decree-disseminating mechanism of all creation. It is in constant operation in
|
|
contrast with the periodic functioning of the various broadcast services.
|
|
|
|
Everything of import transpiring on a local universe headquarters is inherently
|
|
reflected to the capital of its superuniverse. And conversely, everything of
|
|
local universe significance is reflected outward to the local universe capitals
|
|
from the headquarters of their superuniverse. The reflectivity service from the
|
|
universes of time up to the superuniverses is apparently automatic or
|
|
self-operating, but it is not. It is all very personal and intelligent; its
|
|
precision results from perfection of personality co-operation and therefore can
|
|
hardly be attributed to the impersonal presence-performances of the Absolutes.
|
|
|
|
While Thought Adjusters do not participate in the operation of the universal
|
|
reflectivity system, we have every reason to believe that all Father fragments
|
|
are fully cognizant of these transactions and are able to avail themselves of
|
|
their content.
|
|
|
|
During the present universe age the space range of the extra-Paradise
|
|
reflectivity service seems to be limited by the periphery of the seven
|
|
superuniverses. Otherwise, the function of this service seems to be independent
|
|
of time and space. It appears to be independent of all known subabsolute
|
|
universe circuits.
|
|
|
|
On the headquarters of each superuniverse the reflective organization acts as a
|
|
segregated unit; but on certain special occasions, under the direction of
|
|
Majeston, all seven may and do act in universal unison, as in the event of the
|
|
|
|
top of page - 202
|
|
|
|
jubilee occasioned by the settling of an entire local universe in light and
|
|
life and at the times of the millennial greetings of the Seven Supreme
|
|
Executives.
|
|
|
|
4. THE REFLECTIVE IMAGE AIDS
|
|
|
|
The forty-nine Reflective Image Aids were created by the Reflective Spirits,
|
|
and there are just seven Aids on the headquarters of each superuniverse. The
|
|
first creative act of the seven Reflective Spirits of Uversa was the production
|
|
of their seven Image Aids, each Reflective Spirit creating his own Aid. The
|
|
Image Aids are, in certain attributes and characteristics, perfect
|
|
reproductions of their Reflective Mother Spirits; they are virtual duplications
|
|
minus the attribute of reflectivity. They are true images and constantly
|
|
function as the channel of communication between the Reflective Spirits and the
|
|
superuniverse authorities. The Image Aids are not merely assistants; they are
|
|
actual representations of their respective Spirit ancestors; they are images,
|
|
and they are true to their name.
|
|
|
|
The Reflective Spirits themselves are true personalities but of such an order
|
|
as to be incomprehensible to material beings. Even on a superuniverse
|
|
headquarters sphere they require the assistance of their Image Aids in all
|
|
personal intercourse with the Ancients of Days and their associates. In
|
|
contacts between the Image Aids and the Ancients of Days, sometimes one Aid
|
|
functions acceptably, while on other occasions two, three, four, or even all
|
|
seven are required for the full and proper presentation of the communication
|
|
intrusted to their transmission. Likewise, the messages of the Image Aids are
|
|
variously received by one, two, or all three Ancients of Days, as the content
|
|
of the communication may require.
|
|
|
|
The Image Aids serve forever by the sides of their ancestral Spirits, and they
|
|
have at their disposal an unbelievable host of helper seconaphim. The Image
|
|
Aids do not directly function in connection with the training worlds of
|
|
ascending mortals. They are closely associated with the intelligence service of
|
|
the universal scheme of mortal progression, but you will not personally come in
|
|
contact with them when you sojourn in the Uversa schools because these
|
|
seemingly personal beings are devoid of will; they do not exercise the power of
|
|
choice. They are true images, wholly reflective of the personality and mind of
|
|
the individual Spirit ancestor. As a class, ascending mortals do not intimately
|
|
contact with reflectivity. Always some being of the reflective nature will be
|
|
interposed between you and the actual operation of the service.
|
|
|
|
5. THE SEVEN SPIRITS OF THE CIRCUITS
|
|
|
|
The Seven Spirits of the Havona Circuits are the joint impersonal
|
|
representation of the Infinite Spirit and the Seven Master Spirits to the seven
|
|
circuits of the central universe. They are the servants of the Master Spirits,
|
|
whose collective offspring they are. The Master Spirits provide a distinct and
|
|
diversified administrative individuality in the seven superuniverses. Through
|
|
these uniform Spirits of the Havona Circuits they are enabled to provide a
|
|
unified, uniform, and co-ordinated spiritual supervision for the central
|
|
universe.
|
|
|
|
The Seven Spirits of the Circuits are each limited to the permeation of a
|
|
single Havona circuit. They are not directly concerned with the regimes of the
|
|
Eternals of Days, the rulers of the individual Havona worlds. But they are in
|
|
|
|
top of page - 203
|
|
|
|
liaison with the Seven Supreme Executives, and they synchronize with the
|
|
central universe presence of the Supreme Being. Their work is wholly confined
|
|
to Havona.
|
|
|
|
These Spirits of the Circuits make contact with those who sojourn in Havona
|
|
through their personal offspring, the tertiary supernaphim. While the Circuit
|
|
Spirits are coexistent with the Seven Master Spirits, their function in the
|
|
creation of tertiary supernaphim did not attain major importance until the
|
|
first pilgrims of time arrived on the outer circuit of Havona in the days of
|
|
Grandfanda.
|
|
|
|
As you advance from circuit to circuit in Havona, you will learn of the Spirits
|
|
of the Circuits, but you will not be able to hold personal communion with them,
|
|
even though you may personally enjoy, and recognize the impersonal presence of,
|
|
their spiritual influence.
|
|
|
|
The Circuit Spirits are related to the native inhabitants of Havona much as the
|
|
Thought Adjusters are related to the mortal creatures inhabiting the worlds of
|
|
the evolutionary universes. Like the Thought Adjusters, the Circuit Spirits are
|
|
impersonal, and they consort with the perfect minds of Havona beings much as
|
|
the impersonal spirits of the Universal Father indwell the finite minds of
|
|
mortal men. But the Spirits of the Circuits never become a permanent part of
|
|
Havona personalities.
|
|
|
|
6. THE LOCAL UNIVERSE CREATIVE SPIRITS
|
|
|
|
Much that pertains to the nature and function of the local universe Creative
|
|
Spirits properly belongs to the narrative of their association with the Creator
|
|
Sons in the organization and management of the local creations; but there are
|
|
many features of the prelocal universe experiences of these marvelous beings
|
|
which may be narrated as a part of this discussion of the seven Supreme Spirit
|
|
groups.
|
|
|
|
We are conversant with six phases of the career of a local universe Mother
|
|
Spirit, and we speculate much concerning the probability of a seventh stage of
|
|
activity. These different stages of existence are:
|
|
|
|
1. Initial Paradise Differentiation. When a Creator Son is personalized by the
|
|
joint action of the Universal Father and the Eternal Son, simultaneously there
|
|
occurs in the person of the Infinite Spirit what is known as the "supreme
|
|
reaction of complement." We do not comprehend the nature of this reaction, but
|
|
we understand that it designates an inherent modification of those
|
|
personalizable possibilities which are embraced within the creative potential
|
|
of the Conjoint Creator. The birth of a co-ordinate Creator Son signalizes the
|
|
birth within the person of the Infinite Spirit of the potential of the future
|
|
local universe consort of this Paradise Son. We are not cognizant of this new
|
|
prepersonal identification of entity, but we know that this fact finds place on
|
|
the Paradise records of the career of such a Creator Son.
|
|
|
|
2. Preliminary Creatorship Training. During the long period of the preliminary
|
|
training of a Michael Son in the organization and administration of universes,
|
|
his future consort undergoes further development of entity and becomes group
|
|
conscious of destiny. We do not know, but we suspect that such a
|
|
group-conscious entity becomes space cognizant and begins that preliminary
|
|
training requisite to the acquirement of spirit skill in her future work of
|
|
collaboration with the complemental Michael in universe creation and
|
|
administration.
|
|
|
|
top of page - 204
|
|
|
|
3. The Stage of Physical Creation. At the time the creatorship charge is
|
|
administered to a Michael Son by the Eternal Son, the Master Spirit who directs
|
|
the superuniverse to which this new Creator Son is destined gives expression to
|
|
the "prayer of identification" in the presence of the Infinite Spirit; and for
|
|
the first time, the entity of the subsequent Creative Spirit appears as
|
|
differentiated from the person of the Infinite Spirit. And proceeding directly
|
|
to the person of the petitioning Master Spirit, this entity is immediately lost
|
|
to our recognition, becoming apparently a part of the person of this Master
|
|
Spirit. The newly identified Creative Spirit remains with the Master Spirit
|
|
until the moment of the departure of the Creator Son for the adventure of
|
|
space; whereupon the Master Spirit commits the new Spirit consort to the
|
|
keeping of the Creator Son, at the same time administering to the Spirit
|
|
consort the charge of eternal fidelity and unending loyalty. And then occurs
|
|
one of the most profoundly touching episodes which ever take place on Paradise.
|
|
The Universal Father speaks in acknowledgment of the eternal union of the
|
|
Creator Son and the Creative Spirit and in confirmation of the bestowal of
|
|
certain joint powers of administration by the Master Spirit of superuniverse
|
|
jurisdiction.
|
|
|
|
The Father-united Creator Son and Creative Spirit then go forth on their
|
|
adventure of universe creation. And they work together in this form of
|
|
association throughout the long and arduous period of the material organization
|
|
of their universe.
|
|
|
|
4. The Life-Creation Era. Upon the declaration of intention to create life by
|
|
the Creator Son, there ensue on Paradise the "personalization ceremonies,"
|
|
participated in by the Seven Master Spirits and personally experienced by the
|
|
supervising Master Spirit. This is a Paradise Deity contribution to the
|
|
individuality of the Spirit consort of the Creator Son and becomes manifest to
|
|
the universe in the phenomenon of "the primary eruption" in the person of the
|
|
Infinite Spirit. Simultaneously with this phenomenon on Paradise, the
|
|
heretofore impersonal Spirit consort of the Creator Son becomes, to all
|
|
practical intents and purposes, a bona fide person. Henceforth and forevermore,
|
|
this same local universe Mother Spirit will be regarded as a person and will
|
|
maintain personal relations with all the personality hosts of the ensuing life
|
|
creation.
|
|
|
|
5. The Postbestowal Ages. Another and great change occurs in the never-ending
|
|
career of a Creative Spirit when the Creator Son returns to universe
|
|
headquarters after the completion of his seventh bestowal and subsequent to his
|
|
acquirement of full universe sovereignty. On that occasion, before the
|
|
assembled administrators of the universe, the triumphant Creator Son elevates
|
|
the Universe Mother Spirit to cosovereignty and acknowledges the Spirit consort
|
|
as his equal.
|
|
|
|
6. The Ages of Light and Life. Upon the establishment of the era of light and
|
|
life the local universe cosovereign enters upon the sixth phase of a Creative
|
|
Spirit's career. But we may not portray the nature of this great experience.
|
|
Such things pertain to a future stage of evolution in Nebadon.
|
|
|
|
7. The Unrevealed Career. We know of these six phases of the career of a local
|
|
universe Mother Spirit. It is inevitable that we should ask: Is there a seventh
|
|
career? We are mindful that, when finaliters attain what appears to be their
|
|
final destiny of mortal ascension, they are of record as entering upon the
|
|
career of sixth-stage spirits. We conjecture that there awaits the finaliters
|
|
still
|
|
|
|
top of page - 205
|
|
|
|
another and unrevealed career in universe assignment. It is only to be expected
|
|
that we would likewise regard the Universe Mother Spirits as having ahead of
|
|
them some undisclosed career which will constitute their seventh phase of
|
|
personal experience in universe service and loyal co-operation with the order
|
|
of the Creator Michaels.
|
|
|
|
7. THE ADJUTANT MIND-SPIRITS
|
|
|
|
These adjutant spirits are the sevenfold mind bestowal of a local universe
|
|
Mother Spirit upon the living creatures of the conjoint creation of a Creator
|
|
Son and such a Creative Spirit. This bestowal becomes possible at the time of
|
|
the Spirit's elevation to the status of personality prerogatives. The narration
|
|
of the nature and functioning of the seven adjutant mind-spirits belongs more
|
|
appropriately to the story of your local universe of Nebadon.
|
|
|
|
8. FUNCTIONS OF THE SUPREME SPIRITS
|
|
|
|
The seven groups of Supreme Spirits constitute the nucleus of the functional
|
|
family of the Third Source and Center both as the Infinite Spirit and as the
|
|
Conjoint Actor. The domain of the Supreme Spirits extends from the presence of
|
|
the Trinity on Paradise to the functioning of mind of the evolutionary-mortal
|
|
order on the planets of space. Thus do they unify the descending administrative
|
|
levels and co-ordinate the manifold functions of the personnel thereof. Whether
|
|
it is a Reflective Spirit group in liaison with the Ancients of Days, a
|
|
Creative Spirit acting in concert with a Michael Son, or the Seven Master
|
|
Spirits encircuited around the Paradise Trinity, the activity of the Supreme
|
|
Spirits is encountered everywhere in the central, super-, and local universes.
|
|
They function alike with the Trinity personalities of the order of "Days" and
|
|
with the Paradise personalities of the order of "Sons."
|
|
|
|
Together with their Infinite Mother Spirit, the Supreme Spirit groups are the
|
|
immediate creators of the vast creature family of the Third Source and Center.
|
|
All orders of the ministering spirits spring from this association. Primary
|
|
supernaphim originate in the Infinite Spirit; secondary beings of this order
|
|
are created by the Master Spirits; tertiary supernaphim by the Seven Spirits of
|
|
the Circuits. The Reflective Spirits, collectively, are the mother-makers of a
|
|
marvelous order of the angelic hosts, the mighty seconaphim of the
|
|
superuniverse services. A Creative Spirit is the mother of the angelic orders
|
|
of a local creation; such seraphic ministers are original in each local
|
|
universe, though they are fashioned after the patterns of the central universe.
|
|
All these creators of ministering spirits are only indirectly assisted by the
|
|
central lodgment of the Infinite Spirit, the original and eternal mother of all
|
|
the angelic ministers.
|
|
|
|
The seven Supreme Spirit groups are the co-ordinators of the inhabited
|
|
creation. The association of their directing heads, the Seven Master Spirits,
|
|
appears to co-ordinate the far-flung activities of God the Sevenfold:
|
|
|
|
1. Collectively the Master Spirits near-equivalate to the divinity level of the
|
|
Trinity of Paradise Deities.
|
|
|
|
2. Individually they exhaust the primary associable possibilities of triune
|
|
Deity.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
3. As diversified representatives of the Conjoint Actor they are the
|
|
repositories of that spirit-mind-power sovereignty of the Supreme Being which
|
|
he does not yet personally exercise.
|
|
|
|
4. Through the Reflective Spirits they synchronize the superuniverse
|
|
governments of the Ancients of Days with Majeston, the Paradise center of
|
|
universal reflectivity.
|
|
|
|
5. In their participation in the individualization of the local universe Divine
|
|
Ministers, the Master Spirits contribute to the last level of God the
|
|
Sevenfold, the Creator Son-Creative Spirit union of the local universes.
|
|
|
|
Functional unity, inherent in the Conjoint Actor, is disclosed to the evolving
|
|
universes in the Seven Master Spirits, his primary personalities. But in the
|
|
perfected superuniverses of the future this unity will undoubtedly be
|
|
inseparable from the experiential sovereignty of the Supreme.
