Introduction
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
OF ALL the universe personalities concerned in the regulation of interplanetary
|
|||
|
and interuniverse affairs, the power directors and their associates have been
|
|||
|
the least understood on Urantia. While your races have long known of the
|
|||
|
existence of angels and similar orders of celestial beings, little information
|
|||
|
concerning the controllers and regulators of the physical domain has ever been
|
|||
|
imparted. Even now I am permitted fully to disclose only the last of the
|
|||
|
following three groups of living beings having to do with force control and
|
|||
|
energy regulation in the master universe:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
1. Primary Eventuated Master Force Organizers.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
2. Associate Transcendental Master Force Organizers.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
3. Universe Power Directors.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Though I deem it impossible to portray the individuality of the various groups
|
|||
|
of directors, centers, and controllers of universe power, I hope to be able to
|
|||
|
explain something about the domain of their activities. They are a unique group
|
|||
|
of living beings having to do with the intelligent regulation of energy
|
|||
|
throughout the grand universe. Including the supreme directors, they embrace
|
|||
|
the following major divisions:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
1. The Seven Supreme Power Directors.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
2. The Supreme Power Centers.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
3. The Master Physical Controllers.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
4. The Morontia Power Supervisors.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Supreme Power Directors and Centers have existed from the near times of
|
|||
|
eternity, and as far as we know, no more beings of these orders have been
|
|||
|
created. The Seven Supreme Directors were personalized by the Seven Master
|
|||
|
Spirits, and then they collaborated with their parents in the production of
|
|||
|
more than ten billion associates. Before the days of the power directors the
|
|||
|
energy circuits of space outside of the central universe were under the
|
|||
|
intelligent supervision of the Master Force Organizers of Paradise.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Having knowledge about material creatures, you have at least a contrastive
|
|||
|
conception of spiritual beings; but it is very difficult for the mortal mind to
|
|||
|
envisage the power directors. In the scheme of ascendant progression to higher
|
|||
|
levels of existence you have nothing directly to do with either the supreme
|
|||
|
directors or the power centers. On certain rare occasions you will have
|
|||
|
dealings with the physical controllers, and you will work freely with the
|
|||
|
supervisors of morontia power upon reaching the mansion worlds. These Morontia
|
|||
|
Power Supervisors function so exclusively in the morontia regime of the local
|
|||
|
creations
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
top of page - 320
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
that it is deemed best to narrate their activities in the section dealing with
|
|||
|
the local universe.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
1. THE SEVEN SUPREME POWER DIRECTORS
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Seven Supreme Power Directors are the physical-energy regulators of the
|
|||
|
grand universe. Their creation by the Seven Master Spirits is the first
|
|||
|
recorded instance of the derivation of semimaterial progeny from true spirit
|
|||
|
ancestry. When the Seven Master Spirits create individually, they bring forth
|
|||
|
highly spiritual personalities on the angelic order; when they create
|
|||
|
collectively, they sometimes produce these high types of semimaterial beings.
|
|||
|
But even these quasi-physical beings would be invisible to the short-range
|
|||
|
vision of Urantia mortals.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Supreme Power Directors are seven in number, and they are identical in
|
|||
|
appearance and function. One cannot be distinguished from another except by
|
|||
|
that Master Spirit with whom each is in immediate association, and to whom each
|
|||
|
is in complete functional subservience. Each of the Master Spirits is thus in
|
|||
|
eternal union with one of their collective offspring. The same director is
|
|||
|
always in association with the same Spirit, and their working partnership
|
|||
|
results in a unique association of physical and spiritual energies, of a
|
|||
|
semiphysical being and a spirit personality.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Seven Supreme Power Directors are stationed on peripheral Paradise, where
|
|||
|
their slowly circulating presences indicate the whereabouts of the force-focal
|
|||
|
headquarters of the Master Spirits. These power directors function singly in
|
|||
|
the power-energy regulation of the superuniverses but collectively in the
|
|||
|
administration of the central creation. They operate from Paradise but maintain
|
|||
|
themselves as effective power centers in all divisions of the grand universe.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
These mighty beings are the physical ancestors of the vast host of the power
|
|||
|
centers and, through them, of the physical controllers scattered throughout the
|
|||
|
seven superuniverses. Such subordinate physical-control organisms are basically
|
|||
|
uniform, identical except for the differential toning of each superuniverse
|
|||
|
corps. In order to change in superuniverse service, they would merely have to
|
|||
|
return to Paradise for retoning. The physical creation is fundamentally uniform
|
|||
|
in administration.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
2. THE SUPREME POWER CENTERS
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Seven Supreme Power Directors are not able, individually, to reproduce
|
|||
|
themselves, but collectively, and in association with the Seven Master Spirits,
|
|||
|
they can and do reproduce--create--other beings like themselves. Such is the
|
|||
|
origin of the Supreme Power Centers of the grand universe, who function in the
|
|||
|
following seven groups:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
1. Supreme Center Supervisors.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
2. Havona Centers.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
3. Superuniverse Centers.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
4. Local Universe Centers.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
5. Constellation Centers.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
6. System Centers.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
7. Unclassified Centers.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
top of page - 321
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
These power centers together with the Supreme Power Directors are beings of
|
|||
|
high will freedom and action. They are all endowed with Third-Source
|
|||
|
personality and disclose unquestioned volitional capacity of a high order.
|
|||
|
These directing centers of the universe power system are the possessors of
|
|||
|
exquisite intelligence endowment; they are the intellect of the power system of
|
|||
|
the grand universe and the secret of the technique of the mind control of all
|
|||
|
the vast network of the far-flung functions of the Master Physical Controllers
|
|||
|
and the Morontia Power Supervisors.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
1. Supreme Center Supervisors. These seven co-ordinates and associates of the
|
|||
|
Supreme Power Directors are the regulators of the master energy circuits of the
|
|||
|
grand universe. Each center supervisor is headquartered on one of the special
|
|||
|
worlds of the Seven Supreme Executives, and they work in close association with
|
|||
|
these co-ordinators of general universe affairs.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Supreme Power Directors and the Supreme Center Supervisors function both as
|
|||
|
individuals and conjointly with regard to all cosmic phenomena below the levels
|
|||
|
of "gravity energy." When acting in liaison, these fourteen beings are to
|
|||
|
universe power what the Seven Supreme Executives are to general universe
|
|||
|
affairs, and what the Seven Master Spirits are to the cosmic mind.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
2. Havona Centers. Before the creation of the universes of time and space,
|
|||
|
power centers were not required in Havona, but ever since these far-distant
|
|||
|
times, one million have functioned in the central creation, each center having
|
|||
|
the supervision of a thousand Havona worlds. Here in the divine universe there
|
|||
|
is perfection of energy control, a condition not existing elsewhere. Perfection
|
|||
|
of energy regulation is the ultimate goal of all the power centers and the
|
|||
|
physical controllers of space.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
3. Superuniverse Centers. Occupying an enormous area on the capital sphere of
|
|||
|
each of the seven superuniverses are one thousand power centers of the third
|
|||
|
order. Three currents of primary energy of ten segregations each come in to
|
|||
|
these power centers, but seven specialized and well-directed, though
|
|||
|
imperfectly controlled, circuits of power go forth from their seat of united
|
|||
|
action. This is the electronic organization of universe power.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
All energy is circuited in the Paradise cycle, but the Universe Power Directors
|
|||
|
direct the force-energies of nether Paradise as they find them modified in the
|
|||
|
space functions of the central and superuniverses, converting and directing
|
|||
|
these energies into channels of useful and constructive application. There is a
|
|||
|
difference between Havona energy and the energies of the superuniverses. The
|
|||
|
power charge of a superuniverse consists of three phases of energy of ten
|
|||
|
segregations each. This threefold energy charge spreads throughout the space of
|
|||
|
the grand universe; it is like a vast moving ocean of energy which engulfs and
|
|||
|
bathes the whole of each of the seven supercreations.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The electronic organization of universe power functions in seven phases and
|
|||
|
discloses varying response to local or linear gravity. This sevenfold circuit
|
|||
|
proceeds from the superuniverse power centers and pervades each supercreation.
|
|||
|
Such specialized currents of time and space are definite and localized energy
|
|||
|
movements initiated and directed for specific purposes, much as the Gulf Stream
|
|||
|
functions as a circumscribed phenomenon in the midst of the Atlantic Ocean.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
4. Local Universe Centers. On the headquarters of each local universe are
|
|||
|
stationed one hundred power centers of the fourth order. They function to down-
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
top of page - 322
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
step and otherwise to modify the seven power circuits emanating from
|
|||
|
superuniverse headquarters, thus making them applicable to the services of the
|
|||
|
constellations and systems. The local astronomical catastrophes of space are of
|
|||
|
passing concern to these power centers; they are engaged in the orderly
|
|||
|
dispatch of effective energy to the subsidiary constellations and systems. They
|
|||
|
are of great assistance to the Creator Sons during the later times of universe
|
|||
|
organization and energy mobilization. These centers are able to provide
|
|||
|
intensified lanes of energy useful for interplanetary communication between
|
|||
|
important inhabited points. Such a lane or line of energy, sometimes also
|
|||
|
called an energy path, is a direct circuit of energy from one power center to
|
|||
|
another power center or from one physical controller to another controller. It
|
|||
|
is an individualized stream of power and stands in contrast to the free space
|
|||
|
movements of undifferentiated energy.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
5. Constellation Centers. Ten of these living power centers are stationed in
|
|||
|
each constellation, functioning as energy projectors to the one hundred
|
|||
|
tributary local systems. From these beings there go forth the power lines for
|
|||
|
communication and transport and for the energizing of those living creatures
|
|||
|
who are dependent upon certain forms of physical energy for the maintenance of
|
|||
|
life. But neither the power centers nor the subordinate physical controllers
|
|||
|
are otherwise concerned with life as a functional organization.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
6. System Centers. One Supreme Power Center is permanently assigned to each
|
|||
|
local system. These system centers dispatch the power circuits to the inhabited
|
|||
|
worlds of time and space. They co-ordinate the activities of the subordinate
|
|||
|
physical controllers and otherwise function to insure the satisfactory
|
|||
|
distribution of power in the local system. The circuit relay between the
|
|||
|
planets depends upon the perfect co-ordination of certain material energies and
|
|||
|
upon the efficient regulation of physical power.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
7. Unclassified Centers. These are the centers who function in special local
|
|||
|
situations but not on the inhabited planets. The individual worlds are in the
|
|||
|
charge of Master Physical Controllers and receive the encircuited lines of
|
|||
|
power dispatched by the power center of their system. Only those spheres of the
|
|||
|
most extraordinary energy relationships have power centers of the seventh order
|
|||
|
acting as universe balance wheels or energy governors. In every phase of
|
|||
|
activity these power centers are the full equals of those who function on the
|
|||
|
higher units of control, but not one space body in a million harbors such a
|
|||
|
living power organization.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
3. THE DOMAIN OF POWER CENTERS
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Supreme Power Centers distributed throughout the superuniverses number,
|
|||
|
with their associates and subordinates, upward of ten billion. And they are all
|
|||
|
in perfect synchrony and complete liaison with their Paradise progenitors, the
|
|||
|
Seven Supreme Power Directors. The power control of the grand universe is thus
|
|||
|
intrusted to the keeping and direction of the Seven Master Spirits, the
|
|||
|
creators of the Seven Supreme Power Directors.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Supreme Power Directors and all their associates, assistants, and
|
|||
|
subordinates are forever exempt from apprehension or interference by all the
|
|||
|
tribunals of all space; neither are they subject to the administrative
|
|||
|
direction either
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
top of page - 323
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
of the superuniverse government of the Ancients of Days or of the local
|
|||
|
universe administration of the Creator Sons.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
These power centers and directors are brought into being by the children of the
|
|||
|
Infinite Spirit. They are not germane to the administration of the Sons of God,
|
|||
|
though they affiliate with the Creator Sons during the later epochs of universe
|
|||
|
material organization. But the power centers are in some way closely associated
|
|||
|
with the cosmic overcontrol of the Supreme Being.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Power centers and physical controllers undergo no training; they are all
|
|||
|
created in perfection and are inherently perfect in action. Never do they pass
|
|||
|
from one function to another; always do they serve as originally assigned.
|
|||
|
There is no evolution in their ranks, and this is true of all seven divisions
|
|||
|
of both orders.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Having no ascendant past to revert to in memory, power centers and physical
|
|||
|
controllers never play; they are thoroughly businesslike in all their actions.
|
|||
|
They are always on duty; there is no provision in the universal scheme for the
|
|||
|
interruption of the physical lines of energy; never for a fraction of a second
|
|||
|
can these beings relinquish their direct supervision of the energy circuits of
|
|||
|
time and space.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The directors, centers, and controllers of power have nothing to do with
|
|||
|
anything in all creation except power, material or semiphysical energy; they do
|
|||
|
not originate it, but they do modify, manipulate, and directionize it. Neither
|
|||
|
do they have anything whatever to do with physical gravity except to resist its
|
|||
|
drawing power. Their relation to gravity is wholly negative.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The power centers utilize vast mechanisms and co-ordinations of a material
|
|||
|
order in liaison with the living mechanisms of the various segregated energy
|
|||
|
concentrations. Each individual power center is constituted in exactly one
|
|||
|
million units of functional control, and these energy-modifying units are not
|
|||
|
stationary as are the vital organs of man's physical body; these "vital organs"
|
|||
|
of power regulation are mobile and truly kaleidoscopic in associative
|
|||
|
possibilities.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
It is utterly beyond my ability to explain the manner in which these living
|
|||
|
beings encompass the manipulation and regulation of the master circuits of
|
|||
|
universe energy. To undertake to inform you further concerning the size and
|
|||
|
function of these gigantic and almost perfectly efficient power centers, would
|
|||
|
only add to your confusion and consternation. They are both living and
|
|||
|
"personal," but they are beyond your comprehension.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Outside of Havona the Supreme Power Centers function only on especially
|
|||
|
constructed (architectural) spheres or on otherwise suitably constituted space
|
|||
|
bodies. The architectural worlds are so constructed that the living power
|
|||
|
centers can act as selective switches to directionize, modify, and concentrate
|
|||
|
the energies of space as they pour over these spheres. They could not so
|
|||
|
function on an ordinary evolutionary sun or planet. Certain groups are also
|
|||
|
concerned in the heating and other material necessities of these special
|
|||
|
headquarters worlds. And though it is beyond the scope of Urantia knowledge, I
|
|||
|
may state that these orders of living power personalities have much to do with
|
|||
|
the distribution of the light that shines without heat. They do not produce
|
|||
|
this phenomenon, but they are concerned with its dissemination and
|
|||
|
directionization.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The power centers and their subordinate controllers are assigned to the working
|
|||
|
of all of the physical energies of organized space. They work with the three
|
|||
|
basic currents of ten energies each. That is the energy charge of organized
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
top of page - 324
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
space; and organized space is their domain. The Universe Power Directors have
|
|||
|
nothing whatever to do with those tremendous actions of force which are now
|
|||
|
taking place outside the present boundaries of the seven superuniverses.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The power centers and controllers exert perfect control over only seven of the
|
|||
|
ten forms of energy contained in each basic universe current; those forms which
|
|||
|
are partly or wholly exempt from their control must represent the unpredictable
|
|||
|
realms of energy manifestation dominated by the Unqualified Absolute. If they
|
|||
|
exert an influence upon the primordial forces of this Absolute, we are not
|
|||
|
cognizant of such functions, though there is some slight evidence which would
|
|||
|
warrant the opinion that certain of the physical controllers are sometimes
|
|||
|
automatically reactive to certain impulses of the Universal Absolute.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
These living power mechanisms are not consciously related to the master
|
|||
|
universe energy overcontrol of the Unqualified Absolute, but we surmise that
|
|||
|
their entire and almost perfect scheme of power direction is in some unknown
|
|||
|
manner subordinated to this supergravity presence. In any local energy
|
|||
|
situation the centers and controllers exert near-supremacy, but they are always
|
|||
|
conscious of the superenergy presence and the unrecognizable performance of the
|
|||
|
Unqualified Absolute.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
4. THE MASTER PHYSICAL CONTROLLERS
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
These beings are the mobile subordinates of the Supreme Power Centers. The
|
|||
|
physical controllers are endowed with capabilities of individuality
|
|||
|
metamorphosis of such a nature that they can engage in a remarkable variety of
|
|||
|
autotransport, being able to traverse local space at velocities approaching the
|
|||
|
flight of Solitary Messengers. But like all other space traversers they require
|
|||
|
the assistance of both their fellows and certain other types of beings in
|
|||
|
overcoming the action of gravity and the resistance of inertia in departing
|
|||
|
from a material sphere.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Master Physical Controllers serve throughout the grand universe. They are
|
|||
|
directly governed from Paradise by the Seven Supreme Power Directors as far as
|
|||
|
the headquarters of the superuniverses; from here they are directed and
|
|||
|
distributed by the Council of Equilibrium, the high commissioners of power
|
|||
|
dispatched by the Seven Master Spirits from the personnel of the Associate
|
|||
|
Master Force Organizers. These high commissioners are empowered to interpret
|
|||
|
the readings and registrations of the master frandalanks, those living
|
|||
|
instruments which indicate the power pressure and the energy charge of an
|
|||
|
entire superuniverse.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
While the presence of the Paradise Deities encircles the grand universe and
|
|||
|
sweeps around the circle of eternity, the influence of any one of the Seven
|
|||
|
Master Spirits is limited to a single superuniverse. There is a distinct
|
|||
|
segregation of energy and a separation of the circuits of power between each of
|
|||
|
the seven supercreations; hence individualized control methods must and do
|
|||
|
prevail.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Master Physical Controllers are the direct offspring of the Supreme Power
|
|||
|
Centers, and their numbers include the following:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
1. Associate Power Directors.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
2. Mechanical Controllers.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
3. Energy Transformers.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
top of page - 325
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
4. Energy Transmitters.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
5. Primary Associators.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
6. Secondary Dissociators.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
7. The Frandalanks and Chronoldeks.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Not all of these orders are persons in the sense of possessing individual
|
|||
|
powers of choice. Especially do the last four seem to be wholly automatic and
|
|||
|
mechanical in response to the impulses of their superiors and in reaction to
|
|||
|
existing energy conditions. But though such response appears wholly
|
|||
|
mechanistic, it is not; they may seem to be automatons, but all of them
|
|||
|
disclose the differential function of intelligence.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Personality is not necessarily a concomitant of mind. Mind can think even when
|
|||
|
deprived of all power of choice, as in numerous of the lower types of animals
|
|||
|
and in certain of these subordinate physical controllers. Many of these more
|
|||
|
automatic regulators of physical power are not persons in any sense of the
|
|||
|
term. They are not endowed with will and independence of decision, being wholly
|
|||
|
subservient to the mechanical perfection of design for the tasks of their
|
|||
|
allotment. Nonetheless all of them are highly intelligent beings.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The physical controllers are chiefly occupied in the adjustment of basic
|
|||
|
energies undiscovered on Urantia. These unknown energies are very essential to
|
|||
|
the interplanetary system of transport and to certain techniques of
|
|||
|
communication. When we lay lines of energy for the purpose of conveying sound
|
|||
|
equivalents or of extending vision, these undiscovered forms of energy are
|
|||
|
utilized by the living physical controllers and their associates. These same
|
|||
|
energies are also, on occasion, used by the midway creatures in their routine
|
|||
|
work.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
1. Associate Power Directors. These marvelously efficient beings are intrusted
|
|||
|
with the assignment and dispatch of all orders of the Master Physical
|
|||
|
Controllers in accordance with the ever-shifting needs of the constantly
|
|||
|
changing energy status of the realms. The vast reserves of the physical
|
|||
|
controllers are maintained on the headquarters worlds of the minor sectors, and
|
|||
|
from these concentration points they are periodically dispatched by the
|
|||
|
associate power directors to the headquarters of the universes, constellations,
|
|||
|
and systems, and to the individual planets. When thus assigned, the physical
|
|||
|
controllers are provisionally subject to the orders of the divine executioners
|
|||
|
of the conciliating commissions but are otherwise solely amenable to their
|
|||
|
associate directors and to the Supreme Power Centers.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Three million associate power directors are assigned to each of the Orvonton
|
|||
|
minor sectors, making a total of three billion as the superuniverse quota of
|
|||
|
these amazingly versatile beings. Their own reserves are maintained on these
|
|||
|
same minor sector worlds, where they also serve as instructors of all who study
|
|||
|
the sciences of the techniques of intelligent energy control and transmutation.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
These directors alternate periods of executive service in the minor sectors
|
|||
|
with equal periods of inspection service to the realms of space. At least one
|
|||
|
acting inspector is always present in each local system, maintaining
|
|||
|
headquarters on its capital sphere. They keep the whole vast living energy
|
|||
|
aggregation in harmonious synchrony.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
2. Mechanical Controllers. These are the exceedingly versatile and mobile
|
|||
|
assistants of the associate power directors. Trillions upon trillions of them
|
|||
|
are commissioned in Ensa, your minor sector. These beings are called mechanical
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
top of page - 326
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
controllers because they are so completely dominated by their superiors, so
|
|||
|
fully subservient to the will of the associate power directors. Nevertheless
|
|||
|
they are, themselves, very intelligent, and their work, though mechanical and
|
|||
|
matter-of-fact in nature, is skillfully performed.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Of all the Master Physical Controllers assigned to the inhabited worlds, the
|
|||
|
mechanical controllers are by far the most powerful. Possessing the living
|
|||
|
endowment of antigravity in excess of all other beings, each controller has a
|
|||
|
gravity resistance equaled only by enormous spheres revolving at tremendous
|
|||
|
velocity. Ten of these controllers are now stationed on Urantia, and one of
|
|||
|
their most important planetary activities is to facilitate the departure of
|
|||
|
seraphic transports. In so functioning, all ten of the mechanical controllers
|
|||
|
act in unison while a battery of one thousand energy transmitters provides the
|
|||
|
initial momentum for the seraphic departure.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The mechanical controllers are competent to directionize the flow of energy and
|
|||
|
to facilitate its concentration into the specialized currents or circuits.
|
|||
|
These mighty beings have much to do with the segregation, directionization, and
|
|||
|
intensification of the physical energies and with the equalization of the
|
|||
|
pressures of the interplanetary circuits. They are expert in the manipulation
|
|||
|
of twenty-one of the thirty physical energies of space, constituting the power
|
|||
|
charge of a superuniverse. They are also able to accomplish much towards the
|
|||
|
management and control of six of the nine more subtle forms of physical energy.
|
|||
|
By placing these controllers in proper technical relationship to each other and
|
|||
|
to certain of the power centers, the associate power directors are enabled to
|
|||
|
effect unbelievable changes in power adjustment and energy control.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Master Physical Controllers often function in batteries of hundreds,
|
|||
|
thousands, and even millions and by varying their positions and formations are
|
|||
|
able to effect energy control in a collective as well as an individual
|
|||
|
capacity. As requirements vary, they can upstep and accelerate the energy
|
|||
|
volume and movement or detain, condense, and retard the energy currents. They
|
|||
|
influence energy and power transformations somewhat as so-called catalytic
|
|||
|
agents augment chemical reactions. They function by inherent ability and in
|
|||
|
co-operation with the Supreme Power Centers.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
3. Energy Transformers. The number of these beings in a superuniverse is
|
|||
|
unbelievable. There are almost one million in Satania alone, and the usual
|
|||
|
quota is one hundred for each inhabited world.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The energy transformers are the conjoint creation of the Seven Supreme Power
|
|||
|
Directors and the Seven Central Supervisors. They are among the more personal
|
|||
|
orders of physical controllers, and except when an associate power director is
|
|||
|
present on an inhabited world, the transformers are in command. They are the
|
|||
|
planetary inspectors of all departing seraphic transports. All classes of
|
|||
|
celestial life can utilize the less personal orders of the physical controllers
|
|||
|
only by liaison with the more personal orders of the associate directors and
|
|||
|
the energy transformers.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
These transformers are powerful and effective living switches, being able to
|
|||
|
dispose themselves for or against a given power disposition or
|
|||
|
directionization. They are also skillful in their efforts to insulate the
|
|||
|
planets against the powerful energy streams passing between gigantic planetary
|
|||
|
and starry neighbors. Their energy-transmutive attributes render them most
|
|||
|
serviceable in the important task of maintaining universal energy balance, or
|
|||
|
power equilibrium. At one
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
top of page - 327
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
time they seem to consume or store energy; at other times they appear to exude
|
|||
|
or liberate energy. The transformers are able to increase or to diminish the
|
|||
|
"storage-battery" potential of the living and dead energies of their respective
|
|||
|
realms. But they deal only with physical and semimaterial energies, they do not
|
|||
|
directly function in the domain of life, neither do they change the forms of
|
|||
|
living beings.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
In some respects the energy transformers are the most remarkable and mysterious
|
|||
|
of all semimaterial living creatures. They are in some unknown manner
|
|||
|
physically differentiated, and by varying their liaison relationships, they are
|
|||
|
able to exert a profound influence upon the energy which passes through their
|
|||
|
associated presences. The status of the physical realms seems to undergo a
|
|||
|
transformation under their skillful manipulation. They can and do change the
|
|||
|
physical form of the energies of space. With the aid of their fellow
|
|||
|
controllers they are actually able to change the form and potential of
|
|||
|
twenty-seven of the thirty physical energies of the superuniverse power charge.
|
|||
|
That three of these energies are beyond their control proves that they are not
|
|||
|
instrumentalities of the Unqualified Absolute.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The remaining four groups of the Master Physical Controllers are hardly persons
|
|||
|
within any acceptable definition of that word. These transmitters, associators,
|
|||
|
dissociators, and frandalanks are wholly automatic in their reactions;
|
|||
|
nevertheless they are in every sense intelligent. We are greatly limited in our
|
|||
|
knowledge of these wonderful entities because we cannot communicate with them.
|
|||
|
They appear to understand the language of the realm, but they cannot
|
|||
|
communicate with us. They seem fully able to receive our communications but
|
|||
|
quite powerless to make response.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
4. Energy Transmitters. These beings function chiefly, but not wholly, in an
|
|||
|
intraplanetary capacity. They are marvelous dispatchers of energy as it is
|
|||
|
manifested on the individual worlds.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
When energy is to be diverted to a new circuit, the transmitters deploy
|
|||
|
themselves in a line along the desired energy path, and by virtue of their
|
|||
|
unique attributes of energy-attraction, they can actually induce an increased
|
|||
|
energy flow in the desired direction. This they do just as literally as certain
|
|||
|
metallic circuits directionize the flow of certain forms of electric energy;
|
|||
|
and they are living superconductors for more than half of the thirty forms of
|
|||
|
physical energy.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Transmitters form skillful liaisons which are effective in rehabilitating the
|
|||
|
weakening currents of specialized energy passing from planet to planet and from
|
|||
|
station to station on an individual planet. They can detect currents which are
|
|||
|
much too feeble to be recognized by any other type of living being, and they
|
|||
|
can so augment these energies that the accompanying message becomes perfectly
|
|||
|
intelligible. Their services are invaluable to the broadcast receivers.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Energy transmitters can function with regard to all forms of communicable
|
|||
|
perception; they can render a distant scene "visible" as well as a distant
|
|||
|
sound "audible." They provide the emergency lines of communication in the local
|
|||
|
systems and on the individual planets. These services must be used by
|
|||
|
practically all creatures for purposes of communication outside of the
|
|||
|
regularly established circuits.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
These beings, together with the energy transformers, are indispensable to the
|
|||
|
maintenance of mortal existence on those worlds having an impoverished
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
top of page - 328
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
atmosphere, and they are an integral part of the technique of life on the
|
|||
|
nonbreathing planets.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
5. Primary Associators. These interesting and invaluable entities are masterly
|
|||
|
energy conservators and custodians. Somewhat as a plant stores solar light, so
|
|||
|
do these living organisms store energy during times of plus manifestations.
|
|||
|
They work on a gigantic scale, converting the energies of space into a physical
|
|||
|
state not known on Urantia. They are also able to carry forward these
|
|||
|
transformations to the point of producing some of the primitive units of
|
|||
|
material existence. These beings simply act by their presence. They are in no
|
|||
|
way exhausted or depleted by this function; they act like living catalytic
|
|||
|
agents.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
During seasons of minus manifestations they are empowered to release these
|
|||
|
accumulated energies. But your knowledge of energy and matter is not
|
|||
|
sufficiently advanced to make it possible to explain the technique of this
|
|||
|
phase of their work. They always labor in compliance with universal law,
|
|||
|
handling and manipulating atoms, electrons, and ultimatons much as you maneuver
|
|||
|
adjustable type to make the same alphabetical symbols tell vastly different
|
|||
|
stories.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The associators are the first group of life to appear on an organizing material
|
|||
|
sphere, and they can function at physical temperatures which you would regard
|
|||
|
as utterly incompatible with the existence of living beings. They represent an
|
|||
|
order of life which is simply beyond the range of human imagination. Together
|
|||
|
with their co-workers, the dissociators, they are the most slavish of all
|
|||
|
intelligent creatures.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
6. Secondary Dissociators. Compared with the primary associators, these beings
|
|||
|
of enormous antigravity endowment are the reverse workers. There is never any
|
|||
|
danger that the special or modified forms of physical energy on the local
|
|||
|
worlds or in the local systems will be exhausted, for these living
|
|||
|
organizations are endowed with the unique power of evolving limitless supplies
|
|||
|
of energy. They are chiefly concerned with the evolution of a form of energy
|
|||
|
which is hardly known on Urantia from a form of matter which is recognized
|
|||
|
still less. They are truly the alchemists of space and the wonder-workers of
|
|||
|
time. But in all the wonders they work, they never transgress the mandates of
|
|||
|
Cosmic Supremacy.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
7. The Frandalanks. These beings are the joint creation of all three orders of
|
|||
|
energy-control beings: the primary and secondary force organizers and the power
|
|||
|
directors. Frandalanks are the most numerous of all the Master Physical
|
|||
|
Controllers; the number functioning in Satania alone is beyond your numerical
|
|||
|
concept. They are stationed on all inhabited worlds and are always attached to
|
|||
|
the higher orders of physical controllers. They function interchangeably in the
|
|||
|
central and superuniverses and in the domains of outer space.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The frandalanks are created in thirty divisions, one for each form of basic
|
|||
|
universe force, and they function exclusively as living and automatic presence,
|
|||
|
pressure, and velocity gauges. These living barometers are solely concerned
|
|||
|
with the automatic and unerring registration of the status of all forms of
|
|||
|
force-energy. They are to the physical universe what the vast reflectivity
|
|||
|
mechanism is to the minded universe. The frandalanks that register time in
|
|||
|
addition to quantitative and qualitative energy presence are called
|
|||
|
chronoldeks.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I recognize that the frandalanks are intelligent, but I cannot classify them as
|
|||
|
other than living machines. About the only way I can help you to understand
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
top of page - 329
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
these living mechanisms is to compare them to your own mechanical contrivances
|
|||
|
which perform with almost intelligentlike precision and accuracy. Then if you
|
|||
|
would conceive of these beings, draw upon your imagination to the extent of
|
|||
|
recognizing that in the grand universe we actually have intelligent and living
|
|||
|
mechanisms (entities) that can perform more intricate tasks involving more
|
|||
|
stupendous computations with even greater delicacy of accuracy, even with
|
|||
|
ultimacy of precision.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
5. THE MASTER FORCE ORGANIZERS
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The force organizers are resident on Paradise, but they function throughout the
|
|||
|
master universe, more particularly in the domains of unorganized space. These
|
|||
|
extraordinary beings are neither creators nor creatures, and they comprise two
|
|||
|
grand divisions of service:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
1. Primary Eventuated Master Force Organizers.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
2. Associate Transcendental Master Force Organizers.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
These two mighty orders of primordial-force manipulators work exclusively under
|
|||
|
the supervision of the Architects of the Master Universe, and at the present
|
|||
|
time they do not function extensively within the boundaries of the grand
|
|||
|
universe.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Primary Master Force Organizers are the manipulators of the primordial or basic
|
|||
|
space-forces of the Unqualified Absolute; they are nebulae creators. They are
|
|||
|
the living instigators of the energy cyclones of space and the early organizers
|
|||
|
and directionizers of these gigantic manifestations. These force organizers
|
|||
|
transmute primordial force (pre-energy not responsive to direct Paradise
|
|||
|
gravity) into primary or puissant energy, energy transmuting from the exclusive
|
|||
|
grasp of the Unqualified Absolute to the gravity grasp of the Isle of Paradise.
|
|||
|
They are thereupon succeeded by the associate force organizers, who continue
|
|||
|
the process of energy transmutation from the primary through the secondary or
|
|||
|
gravity-energy stage.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Upon the completion of the plans for the creation of a local universe,
|
|||
|
signalized by the arrival of a Creator Son, the Associate Master Force
|
|||
|
Organizers give way to the orders of power directors acting in the
|
|||
|
superuniverse of astronomic jurisdiction. But in the absence of such plans the
|
|||
|
associate force organizers continue on indefinitely in charge of these material
|
|||
|
creations, even as they now operate in outer space.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Master Force Organizers withstand temperatures and function under physical
|
|||
|
conditions which would be intolerable even to the versatile power centers and
|
|||
|
physical controllers of Orvonton. The only other types of revealed beings
|
|||
|
capable of functioning in these realms of outer space are the Solitary
|
|||
|
Messengers and the Inspired Trinity Spirits.
