Introduction
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
ON UVERSA we divide all personalities and entities of the Conjoint Creator into
|
|||
|
three grand divisions: the Higher Personalities of the Infinite Spirit, the
|
|||
|
Messenger Hosts of Space, and the Ministering Spirits of Time, those spirit
|
|||
|
beings who are concerned with teaching and ministering to the will creatures of
|
|||
|
the ascendant scheme of mortal progression.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Those Higher Personalities of the Infinite Spirit that find mention in these
|
|||
|
narratives function throughout the grand universe in seven divisions:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
1. Solitary Messengers.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
2. Universe Circuit Supervisors.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
3. Census Directors.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
4. Personal Aids of the Infinite Spirit.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
5. Associate Inspectors.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
6. Assigned Sentinels.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
7. Graduate Guides.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Solitary Messengers, Circuit Supervisors, Census Directors, and the Personal
|
|||
|
Aids are characterized by the possession of tremendous endowments of
|
|||
|
antigravity. The Solitary Messengers are without known general headquarters;
|
|||
|
they roam the universe of universes. The Universe Circuit Supervisors and the
|
|||
|
Census Directors maintain headquarters on the capitals of the superuniverses.
|
|||
|
The Personal Aids of the Infinite Spirit are stationed on the central Isle of
|
|||
|
Light. The Associate Inspectors and the Assigned Sentinels are respectively
|
|||
|
stationed on the capitals of the local universes and on the capitals of their
|
|||
|
component systems. The Graduate Guides are resident in the Havona universe and
|
|||
|
function on all its billion worlds. Most of these higher personalities have
|
|||
|
stations in the local universes, but they are not organically attached to the
|
|||
|
administrations of the evolutionary realms.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Of the seven classes composing this group, only the Solitary Messengers and
|
|||
|
perhaps the Personal Aids range the universe of universes. Solitary Messengers
|
|||
|
are encountered from Paradise outward: through the Havona circuits to the
|
|||
|
superuniverse capitals and thence out through the sectors and local universes,
|
|||
|
with their subdivisions, and even to the inhabited worlds. Although Solitary
|
|||
|
Messengers belong to the Higher Personalities of the Infinite Spirit, their
|
|||
|
origin, nature, and service have been discussed in the preceding paper.

1. THE UNIVERSE CIRCUIT SUPERVISORS
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The vast power currents of space and the circuits of spirit energy may seem to
|
|||
|
operate automatically; they may appear to function without let or hindrance,
|
|||
|
but such is not the case. All these stupendous systems of energy are under
|
|||
|
control; they are subject to intelligent supervision. Universe Circuit
|
|||
|
Supervisors are concerned, not with the realms of purely physical or material
|
|||
|
energy--the domain of the Universe Power Directors--but with the circuits of
|
|||
|
relative spiritual energy and with those modified circuits which are essential
|
|||
|
to the maintenance of both the highly developed spiritual beings and the
|
|||
|
morontia or transition type of intelligent creatures. The supervisors do not
|
|||
|
give origin to circuits of energy and superessence of divinity, but in general
|
|||
|
they have to do with all higher spirit circuits of time and eternity and with
|
|||
|
all relative spirit circuits concerned in the administration of the component
|
|||
|
parts of the grand universe. They direct and manipulate all such spirit-energy
|
|||
|
circuits outside the Isle of Paradise.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Universe Circuit Supervisors are the exclusive creation of the Infinite Spirit,
|
|||
|
and they function solely as the agents of the Conjoint Actor. They are
|
|||
|
personalized for service in the following four orders:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
1. Supreme Circuit Supervisors.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
2. Associate Circuit Supervisors.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
3. Secondary Circuit Supervisors.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
4. Tertiary Circuit Supervisors.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The supreme supervisors of Havona and the associate supervisors of the seven
|
|||
|
superuniverses are of completed numbers; no more of these orders are being
|
|||
|
created. The supreme supervisors are seven in number and are stationed on the
|
|||
|
pilot worlds of the seven Havona circuits. The circuits of the seven
|
|||
|
superuniverses are in the charge of a marvelous group of seven associate
|
|||
|
supervisors, who maintain headquarters on the seven Paradise spheres of the
|
|||
|
Infinite Spirit, the worlds of the Seven Supreme Executives. From here they
|
|||
|
supervise and direct the circuits of the superuniverses of space.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
On these Paradise spheres of the Spirit the seven associate circuit supervisors
|
|||
|
and the first order of the Supreme Power Centers effect a liaison which, under
|
|||
|
the direction of the Supreme Executives, results in the sub-Paradise
|
|||
|
co-ordination of all material and spiritual circuits passing out to the seven
|
|||
|
superuniverses.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
On the headquarters worlds of each superuniverse are stationed the secondary
|
|||
|
supervisors for the local universes of time and space. The major and minor
|
|||
|
sectors are administrative divisions of the supergovernments but are not
|
|||
|
concerned in these matters of spirit-energy supervision. I do not know how many
|
|||
|
secondary circuit supervisors there are in the grand universe, but on Uversa
|
|||
|
there are 84,691 of these beings. Secondary supervisors are being created right
|
|||
|
along; from time to time they appear in groups of seventy on the worlds of the
|
|||
|
Supreme Executives. We obtain them on requisition as we arrange for the
|
|||
|
establishment of separate circuits of spirit energy and liaison power to the
|
|||
|
newly evolving universes of our jurisdiction.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
A tertiary circuit supervisor functions on the headquarters world of every
|
|||
|
local universe. This order, like the secondary supervisors, is of continuous
|
|||
|
creation, being created in groups of seven hundred. They are assigned to the
|
|||
|
local universes by the Ancients of Days.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
top of page - 266
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Circuit supervisors are created for their specific tasks, and they eternally
|
|||
|
serve in the groups of their original assignment. They are not rotated in
|
|||
|
service and hence make an agelong study of the problems found in the realms of
|
|||
|
their original assignment. For example: Tertiary circuit supervisor No. 572,842
|
|||
|
has functioned on Salvington since the early concept of your local universe,
|
|||
|
and he is a member of the personal staff of Michael of Nebadon.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Whether acting in the local or higher universes, circuit supervisors direct all
|
|||
|
concerned as to the proper circuits to employ for the transmission of all
|
|||
|
spirit messages and for the transit of all personalities. In their work of
|
|||
|
circuit supervision these efficient beings utilize all agencies, forces, and
|
|||
|
personalities in the universe of universes. They employ the unrevealed "high
|
|||
|
spirit personalities of circuit control" and are ably assisted by numerous
|
|||
|
staffs composed of personalities of the Infinite Spirit. It is they who would
|
|||
|
isolate an evolutionary world if its Planetary Prince should rebel against the
|
|||
|
Universal Father and his vicegerent Son. They are able to throw any world out
|
|||
|
of certain universe circuits of the higher spiritual order, but they cannot
|
|||
|
annul the material currents of the power directors.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Universe Circuit Supervisors have something of the same relationship to
|
|||
|
spirit circuits that the Universe Power Directors have to material circuits.
|
|||
|
The two orders are complemental, together having the oversight of all spirit
|
|||
|
and all material circuits that are controllable and manipulatable by creatures.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The circuit supervisors exercise certain oversight of those mind circuits which
|
|||
|
are spirit associated much as the power directors have certain jurisdiction
|
|||
|
over those phases of mind which are physical-energy associated--mechanical
|
|||
|
mind. In general the functions of each order are expanded by liaison with the
|
|||
|
other, but the circuits of pure mind are subject to the supervision of neither.
|
|||
|
Neither are the two orders co-ordinate; in all their manifold labors the
|
|||
|
Universe Circuit Supervisors are subject to the Seven Supreme Power Directors
|
|||
|
and their subordinates.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
While the circuit supervisors are entirely alike within their respective
|
|||
|
orders, they are all distinct individuals. They are truly personal beings, but
|
|||
|
they possess a type of other-than-Father-endowed personality not encountered in
|
|||
|
any other type of creature in all universal existence.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Although you will recognize and know them as you journey inward towards
|
|||
|
Paradise, you will have no personal relations with them. They are circuit
|
|||
|
supervisors, and they attend strictly and efficiently to their business. They
|
|||
|
deal solely with those personalities and entities having the oversight of those
|
|||
|
activities which are concerned with the circuits subject to their supervision.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
2. THE CENSUS DIRECTORS
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Notwithstanding that the cosmic mind of the Universal Intelligence is cognizant
|
|||
|
of the presence and whereabouts of all thinking creatures, there is operative
|
|||
|
in the universe of universes an independent method of keeping count of all will
|
|||
|
creatures.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Census Directors are a special and completed creation of the Infinite
|
|||
|
Spirit, and they exist in numbers unknown to us. They are so created as to be
|
|||
|
able to maintain perfect synchrony with the reflectivity technique of the
|
|||
|
super-
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
top of page - 267
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
universes, while at the same time they are personally sensitive and responsive
|
|||
|
to intelligent will. These directors, by a not-fully-understood technique, are
|
|||
|
made immediately aware of the birth of will in any part of the grand universe.
|
|||
|
They are, therefore, always competent to give us the number, nature, and
|
|||
|
whereabouts of all will creatures in any part of the central creation and the
|
|||
|
seven superuniverses. But they do not function on Paradise; there is no need
|
|||
|
for them there. On Paradise knowledge is inherent; the Deities know all things.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Seven Census Directors operate in Havona, one being stationed on the pilot
|
|||
|
world of each Havona circuit. Excepting these seven and the reserves of the
|
|||
|
order on the Paradise worlds of the Spirit, all Census Directors function under
|
|||
|
the jurisdiction of the Ancients of Days.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
One Census Director presides at the headquarters of each superuniverse, while
|
|||
|
subject to such a chief director are thousands upon thousands, one on the
|
|||
|
capital of every local universe. All personalities of this order are equal
|
|||
|
excepting those on the Havona pilot worlds and the seven superuniverse chiefs.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
In the seventh superuniverse there are one hundred thousand Census Directors.
|
|||
|
And this number consists entirely of those assignable to local universes; it
|
|||
|
does not include the personal staff of Usatia, the superuniverse chief of all
|
|||
|
Orvonton directors. Usatia, like the other superuniverse chiefs, is not
|
|||
|
directly attuned to the registration of intelligent will. He is solely attuned
|
|||
|
to his subordinates stationed in the Orvonton universes; thus he acts as a
|
|||
|
magnificent totaling personality for their reports coming in from the capitals
|
|||
|
of the local creations.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
From time to time the official recorders of Uversa place on their records the
|
|||
|
status of the superuniverse as it is indicated by the registrations in and upon
|
|||
|
the personality of Usatia. Such census data is indigenous to the
|
|||
|
superuniverses; these reports are transmitted neither to Havona nor to
|
|||
|
Paradise.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Census Directors are concerned with human beings--as with other will
|
|||
|
creatures--only to the extent of recording the fact of will function. They are
|
|||
|
not concerned with the records of your life and its doings; they are not in any
|
|||
|
sense recording personalities. The Census Director of Nebadon, number 81,412 of
|
|||
|
Orvonton, now stationed on Salvington, is at this very moment personally
|
|||
|
conscious and aware of your living presence here on Urantia; and he will afford
|
|||
|
the records confirmation of your death the moment you cease to function as a
|
|||
|
will creature.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Census Directors register the existence of a new will creature when the first
|
|||
|
act of will is performed; they indicate the death of a will creature when the
|
|||
|
last act of will takes place. The partial emergence of will observed in the
|
|||
|
reactions of certain of the higher animals does not belong to the domain of the
|
|||
|
Census Directors. They keep count of nothing but bona fide will creatures, and
|
|||
|
they are responsive to nothing but will function. Exactly how they register the
|
|||
|
function of will, we do not know.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
These beings always have been, and always will be, Census Directors. They would
|
|||
|
be comparatively useless in any other division of universe labor. But they are
|
|||
|
infallible in function; they never default, neither do they falsify. And
|
|||
|
notwithstanding their marvelous powers and unbelievable prerogatives, they are
|
|||
|
persons; they have recognizable spirit presence and form.

3. PERSONAL AIDS OF THE INFINITE SPIRIT
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
We have no authentic knowledge as to the time or manner of the creation of the
|
|||
|
Personal Aids. Their number must be legion, but it is not of record on Uversa.
|
|||
|
From conservative deductions based on our knowledge of their work, I venture to
|
|||
|
estimate that their number extends high into the trillions. We hold the opinion
|
|||
|
that the Infinite Spirit is not limited as to numbers in the creation of these
|
|||
|
Personal Aids.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Personal Aids of the Infinite Spirit exist for the exclusive assistance of
|
|||
|
the Paradise presence of the Third Person of Deity. Although attached directly
|
|||
|
to the Infinite Spirit and located on Paradise, they flash to and fro to the
|
|||
|
uttermost parts of creation. Wherever the circuits of the Conjoint Creator
|
|||
|
extend, there these Personal Aids may appear for the purpose of executing the
|
|||
|
bidding of the Infinite Spirit. They traverse space much as do the Solitary
|
|||
|
Messengers but are not persons in the sense that the messengers are.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Personal Aids are all equal and identical; they disclose no differentiation
|
|||
|
of individuality. Though the Conjoint Actor looks upon them as true
|
|||
|
personalities, it is difficult for others to regard them as real persons; they
|
|||
|
do not manifest a spirit presence to other spirit beings. Paradise-origin
|
|||
|
beings are always aware of the proximity of these Aids; but we do not recognize
|
|||
|
a personality presence. The lack of such a presence-form undoubtedly renders
|
|||
|
them all the more serviceable to the Third Person of Deity.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Of all the revealed orders of spirit beings taking origin in the Infinite
|
|||
|
Spirit, the Personal Aids are about the only ones you will not encounter on
|
|||
|
your inward ascent to Paradise.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
4. THE ASSOCIATE INSPECTORS
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Seven Supreme Executives, on the seven Paradise spheres of the Infinite
|
|||
|
Spirit, collectively function as the administrative board of supermanagers for
|
|||
|
the seven superuniverses. The Associate Inspectors are the personal embodiment
|
|||
|
of the authority of the Supreme Executives to the local universes of time and
|
|||
|
space. These high observers of the affairs of the local creations are the joint
|
|||
|
offspring of the Infinite Spirit and the Seven Master Spirits of Paradise. In
|
|||
|
the near times of eternity seven hundred thousand were personalized, and their
|
|||
|
reserve corps abides on Paradise.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Associate Inspectors work under the direct supervision of the Seven Supreme
|
|||
|
Executives, being their personal and powerful representatives to the local
|
|||
|
universes of time and space. An inspector is stationed on the headquarters
|
|||
|
sphere of each local creation and is a close associate of the resident Union of
|
|||
|
Days.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Associate Inspectors receive reports and recommendations only from their
|
|||
|
subordinates, the Assigned Sentinels, stationed on the capitals of the local
|
|||
|
systems of inhabited worlds, while they make reports only to their immediate
|
|||
|
superior, the Supreme Executive of the superuniverse concerned.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
5. THE ASSIGNED SENTINELS
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Assigned Sentinels are co-ordinating personalities and liaison
|
|||
|
representatives of the Seven Supreme Executives. They were personalized on
|
|||
|
Paradise by
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
top of page - 269
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
the Infinite Spirit and were created for the specific purposes of their
|
|||
|
assignment. They are of stationary numbers, and there are exactly seven billion
|
|||
|
in existence.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Much as an Associate Inspector represents the Seven Supreme Executives to a
|
|||
|
whole local universe, so in each of the ten thousand systems of that local
|
|||
|
creation there is an Assigned Sentinel, who acts as the direct representative
|
|||
|
of the far-distant and supreme board of supercontrol for the affairs of all
|
|||
|
seven superuniverses. The sentinels on duty in the local system governments of
|
|||
|
Orvonton are acting under the direct authority of Supreme Executive Number
|
|||
|
Seven, the co-ordinator of the seventh superuniverse. But in their
|
|||
|
administrative organization all sentinels commissioned in a local universe are
|
|||
|
subordinate to the Associate Inspector stationed at universe headquarters.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Within a local creation the Assigned Sentinels serve in rotation, being
|
|||
|
transferred from system to system. They are usually changed every millennium of
|
|||
|
local universe time. They are among the highest ranking personalities stationed
|
|||
|
on a system capital, but they never participate in deliberations concerned with
|
|||
|
system affairs. In the local systems they serve as the ex officio heads of the
|
|||
|
four and twenty administrators hailing from the evolutionary worlds, but
|
|||
|
otherwise, ascending mortals have little contact with them. The sentinels are
|
|||
|
almost exclusively concerned in keeping the Associate Inspector of their
|
|||
|
universe fully informed on all matters relating to the welfare and state of the
|
|||
|
systems of their assignment.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Assigned Sentinels and Associate Inspectors do not report to the Supreme
|
|||
|
Executives through a superuniverse headquarters. They are responsible solely to
|
|||
|
the Supreme Executive of the superuniverse concerned; their activities are
|
|||
|
distinct from the administration of the Ancients of Days.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Supreme Executives, Associate Inspectors, and Assigned Sentinels, together
|
|||
|
with the omniaphim and a host of unrevealed personalities, constitute an
|
|||
|
efficient, direct, centralized, but far-flung system of advisory and
|
|||
|
administrative co-ordination of all the grand universe of things and beings.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
6. THE GRADUATE GUIDES
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Graduate Guides, as a group, sponsor and conduct the high university of
|
|||
|
technical instruction and spiritual training which is so essential to mortal
|
|||
|
attainment of the goal of the ages: God, rest, and then eternity of perfected
|
|||
|
service. These highly personal beings take their name from the nature and
|
|||
|
purpose of their work. They are exclusively devoted to the tasks of guiding the
|
|||
|
mortal graduates from the superuniverses of time through the Havona course of
|
|||
|
instruction and training which serves to prepare the ascending pilgrims for
|
|||
|
admission to Paradise and the Corps of the Finality.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I am not forbidden to undertake to tell you of the work of these Graduate
|
|||
|
Guides, but it is so ultraspiritual that I despair of being able to adequately
|
|||
|
portray to the material mind a concept of their manifold activities. On the
|
|||
|
mansion worlds, after your vision range is extended and you are freed from the
|
|||
|
fetters of material comparisons, you can begin to comprehend the meaning of
|
|||
|
those realities which "eye cannot see nor ear hear, and which have never
|
|||
|
entered the concept of human minds," even those things which "God has prepared
|
|||
|
for those who love such eternal verities." You are not always to be so limited
|
|||
|
in the range of your vision and spiritual comprehension.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Graduate Guides are engaged in piloting the pilgrims of time through the
|
|||
|
seven circuits of Havona worlds. The guide who greets you upon your arrival on
|
|||
|
the receiving world of the outer Havona circuit will remain with you throughout
|
|||
|
your entire career on the heavenly circuits. Though you will associate with
|
|||
|
countless other personalities during your sojourn on a billion worlds, your
|
|||
|
Graduate Guide will follow you to the end of your Havona progression and will
|
|||
|
witness your entrance into the terminal slumber of time, the sleep of eternity
|
|||
|
transit to the Paradise goal, where, upon awakening, you will be greeted by the
|
|||
|
Paradise Companion assigned to welcome you and perhaps to remain with you until
|
|||
|
you are initiated as a member of the Mortal Corps of the Finality.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The number of Graduate Guides is beyond the power of human minds to grasp, and
|
|||
|
they continue to appear. Their origin is something of a mystery. They have not
|
|||
|
existed from eternity; they mysteriously appear as they are needed. There is no
|
|||
|
record of a Graduate Guide in all the realms of the central universe until that
|
|||
|
far-distant day when the first mortal pilgrim of all time made his way to the
|
|||
|
outer belt of the central creation. The instant he arrived on the pilot world
|
|||
|
of the outer circuit, he was met with friendly greetings by Malvorian, the
|
|||
|
first of the Graduate Guides and now the chief of their supreme council and the
|
|||
|
director of their vast educational organization.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
On the Paradise records of Havona, in the section denominated "Graduate
|
|||
|
Guides," there appears this initial entry:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"And Malvorian, the first of this order, did greet and instruct the pilgrim
|
|||
|
discoverer of Havona and did conduct him from the outer circuits of initial
|
|||
|
experience, step by step and circuit by circuit, until he stood in the very
|
|||
|
presence of the Source and Destiny of all personality, subsequently crossing
|
|||
|
the threshold of eternity to Paradise."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
At that far-distant time I was attached to the service of the Ancients of Days
|
|||
|
on Uversa, and we all rejoiced in the assurance that, eventually, pilgrims from
|
|||
|
our superuniverse would reach Havona. For ages we had been taught that the
|
|||
|
evolutionary creatures of space would attain Paradise, and the thrill of all
|
|||
|
time swept through the heavenly courts when the first pilgrim actually arrived.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The name of this pilgrim discoverer of Havona is Grandfanda, and he hailed from
|
|||
|
planet 341 of system 84 in constellation 62 of local universe 1,131 situated in
|
|||
|
superuniverse number one. His arrival was the signal for the establishment of
|
|||
|
the broadcast service of the universe of universes. Theretofore only the
|
|||
|
broadcasts of the superuniverses and the local universes had been in operation,
|
|||
|
but the announcement of the arrival of Grandfanda at the portals of Havona
|
|||
|
signalized the inauguration of the "space reports of glory," so named because
|
|||
|
the initial universe broadcast reported the Havona arrival of the first of the
|
|||
|
evolutionary beings to attain entrance upon the goal of ascendant existence.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Graduate Guides never leave the Havona worlds; they are dedicated to the
|
|||
|
service of the graduate pilgrims of time and space. And you will sometime meet
|
|||
|
these noble beings face to face if you do not reject the certain and
|
|||
|
all-perfected plan designed to effect your survival and ascension.
|
|||

7. ORIGIN OF THE GRADUATE GUIDES
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Though evolution is not the order of the central universe, we believe that the
|
|||
|
Graduate Guides are the perfected or more experienced members of another
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
top of page - 271
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
order of central universe creatures, the Havona Servitals. Graduate Guides show
|
|||
|
such a breadth of sympathy and such a capacity for understanding the ascendant
|
|||
|
creatures that we are convinced they have gained this culture by actual service
|
|||
|
in the superuniverse realms as the Havona Servitals of universal ministry. If
|
|||
|
this view is not correct, how then can we account for the continuous
|
|||
|
disappearance of the senior or more experienced servitals?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
A servital will be long absent from Havona on superuniverse assignment, having
|
|||
|
been on many such missions previously, will return home, be granted the
|
|||
|
privilege of "personal contact" with the Paradise Central Shining, will be
|
|||
|
embraced by the Luminous Persons, and disappear from the recognition of his
|
|||
|
spirit fellows, never more to reappear among those of his kind.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
On returning from superuniverse service, a Havona Servital may enjoy numerous
|
|||
|
divine embraces and emerge therefrom merely an exalted servital. Experiencing
|
|||
|
the luminous embrace does not necessarily signify that the servital must
|
|||
|
translate into a Graduate Guide, but almost one quarter of those who achieve
|
|||
|
the divine embrace never return to the service of the realms.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
There appears on the high records a succession of such entries as this:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"And servital number 842,842,682,846,782 of Havona, named Sudna, came over from
|
|||
|
the superuniverse service, was received on Paradise, knew the Father, entered
|
|||
|
the divine embrace, and is not."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
When such an entry appears on the records, the career of such a servital is
|
|||
|
closed. But in just three moments (a little less than three days of your time)
|
|||
|
a newborn Graduate Guide "spontaneously" appears on the outer circuit of the
|
|||
|
Havona universe. And the number of Graduate Guides, allowing for a slight
|
|||
|
difference, due no doubt to those in transition, exactly equals the number of
|
|||
|
vanished servitals.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
There is an additional reason for supposing the Graduate Guides to be evolved
|
|||
|
Havona Servitals, and that is the unfailing tendency of these guides and their
|
|||
|
associated servitals to form such extraordinary attachments. The manner in
|
|||
|
which these supposedly separate orders of beings understand and sympathize with
|
|||
|
one another is wholly inexplicable. It is refreshing and inspiring to witness
|
|||
|
their mutual devotion.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Seven Master Spirits and the associated Seven Supreme Power Directors,
|
|||
|
respectively, are the personal repositories of the mind potential and of the
|
|||
|
power potential of the Supreme Being which he does not, as yet, operate
|
|||
|
personally. And when these Paradise associates collaborate to create the Havona
|
|||
|
Servitals, the latter are inherently involved in certain phases of Supremacy.
|
|||
|
Havona Servitals are thus, in actuality, a reflection in the perfect central
|
|||
|
universe of certain evolutionary potentialities of the time-space domains, all
|
|||
|
of which is disclosed when a servital undergoes transformation and re-creation.
|
|||
|
We believe that this transformation takes place in response to the will of the
|
|||
|
Infinite Spirit, undoubtedly acting in behalf of the Supreme. Graduate Guides
|
|||
|
are not created by the Supreme Being, but we all conjecture that experiential
|
|||
|
Deity is in some way concerned in those transactions which bring these beings
|
|||
|
into existence.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Havona now traversed by ascending mortals differs in many respects from the
|
|||
|
central universe as it was before the times of Grandfanda. The arrival of
|
|||
|
mortal ascenders on the Havona circuits inaugurated sweeping modifications
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
top of page - 272
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
in the organization of the central and divine creation, modifications
|
|||
|
undoubtedly initiated by the Supreme Being--the God of evolutionary
|
|||
|
creatures--in response to the arrival of the first of his experiential children
|
|||
|
from the seven superuniverses. The appearance of the Graduate Guides, together
|
|||
|
with the creation of the tertiary supernaphim, is indicative of these
|
|||
|
performances of God the Supreme.
