Introduction
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
THIS Paradise group, designated the Co-ordinate Trinity-origin Beings, embraces
|
|||
|
the Trinity Teacher Sons, also classed among the Paradise Sons of God, three
|
|||
|
groups of high superuniverse administrators, and the somewhat impersonal
|
|||
|
category of the Inspired Trinity Spirits. Even the Havona natives may properly
|
|||
|
be included in this classification of Trinity personalities along with numerous
|
|||
|
groups of beings resident on Paradise. Those Trinity-origin beings to be
|
|||
|
considered in this discussion are:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
1. Trinity Teacher Sons.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
2. Perfectors of Wisdom.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
3. Divine Counselors.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
4. Universal Censors.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
5. Inspired Trinity Spirits.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
6. Havona Natives.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
7. Paradise Citizens.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Excepting the Trinity Teacher Sons and possibly the Inspired Trinity Spirits,
|
|||
|
these groups are of definite numbers; their creation is a finished and past
|
|||
|
event.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
1. THE TRINITY TEACHER SONS
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Of all the high orders of celestial personalities revealed to you, the Trinity
|
|||
|
Teacher Sons alone act in a dual capacity. By origin of Trinity nature, in
|
|||
|
function they are almost wholly devoted to the services of divine sonship. They
|
|||
|
are the liaison beings who bridge the universe gulf between Trinity- and
|
|||
|
dual-origin personalities.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
While the Stationary Sons of the Trinity are of completed numbers, the Teacher
|
|||
|
Sons are constantly increasing. What the final number of Teacher Sons will be I
|
|||
|
do not know. I can, however, state that, at the last periodic report to Uversa,
|
|||
|
the Paradise records indicated 21,001,624,821 of these Sons in service.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
These beings are the only group of the Sons of God revealed to you whose origin
|
|||
|
is in the Paradise Trinity. They range the central and superuniverses, and an
|
|||
|
enormous corps is assigned to each local universe. They also serve the
|
|||
|
individual planets as do the other Paradise Sons of God. Since the scheme of
|
|||
|
the grand universe is not fully developed, large numbers of Teacher Sons are
|
|||
|
held in the reserves on Paradise, and they volunteer for emergency duty and
|
|||
|
unusual service in all divisions of the grand universe, on the lone worlds of
|
|||
|
space, in the local and superuniverses, and on the worlds of Havona. They also
|
|||
|
function on Paradise, but it will be more helpful to postpone their detailed
|
|||
|
consideration until we come to the discussion of the Paradise Sons of God.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
top of page - 215
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
In this connection, however, it may be noted that Teacher Sons are the supreme
|
|||
|
co-ordinating personalities of Trinity origin. In such a far-flung universe of
|
|||
|
universes there is always great danger of succumbing to the error of the
|
|||
|
circumscribed viewpoint, to the evil inherent in a segmentalized conception of
|
|||
|
reality and divinity.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
For example: The human mind would ordinarily crave to approach the cosmic
|
|||
|
philosophy portrayed in these revelations by proceeding from the simple and the
|
|||
|
finite to the complex and the infinite, from human origins to divine destinies.
|
|||
|
But that path does not lead to spiritual wisdom. Such a procedure is the
|
|||
|
easiest path to a certain form of genetic knowledge, but at best it can only
|
|||
|
reveal man's origin; it reveals little or nothing about his divine destiny.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Even in the study of man's biologic evolution on Urantia, there are grave
|
|||
|
objections to the exclusive historic approach to his present-day status and his
|
|||
|
current problems. The true perspective of any reality problem--human or divine,
|
|||
|
terrestrial or cosmic--can be had only by the full and unprejudiced study and
|
|||
|
correlation of three phases of universe reality: origin, history, and destiny.
|
|||
|
The proper understanding of these three experiential realities affords the
|
|||
|
basis for a wise estimate of the current status.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
When the human mind undertakes to follow the philosophic technique of starting
|
|||
|
from the lower to approach the higher, whether in biology or theology, it is
|
|||
|
always in danger of committing four errors of reasoning:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
1. It may utterly fail to perceive the final and completed evolutionary goal of
|
|||
|
either personal attainment or cosmic destiny.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
2. It may commit the supreme philosophical blunder by oversimplifying cosmic
|
|||
|
evolutionary (experiential) reality, thus leading to the distortion of facts,
|
|||
|
to the perversion of truth, and to the misconception of destinies.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
3. The study of causation is the perusal of history. But the knowledge of how a
|
|||
|
being becomes does not necessarily provide an intelligent understanding of the
|
|||
|
present status and true character of such a being.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
4. History alone fails adequately to reveal future development--destiny. Finite
|
|||
|
origins are helpful, but only divine causes reveal final effects. Eternal ends
|
|||
|
are not shown in time beginnings. The present can be truly interpreted only in
|
|||
|
the light of the correlated past and future.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Therefore, because of these and for still other reasons, do we employ the
|
|||
|
technique of approaching man and his planetary problems by embarkation on the
|
|||
|
time-space journey from the infinite, eternal, and divine Paradise Source and
|
|||
|
Center of all personality reality and all cosmic existence.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
2. THE PERFECTORS OF WISDOM
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Perfectors of Wisdom are a specialized creation of the Paradise Trinity
|
|||
|
designed to personify the wisdom of divinity in the superuniverses. There are
|
|||
|
exactly seven billion of these beings in existence, and one billion are
|
|||
|
assigned to each of the seven superuniverses.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
In common with their co-ordinates, the Divine Counselors and the Universal
|
|||
|
Censors, the Perfectors of Wisdom passed through the wisdom of Paradise, of
|
|||
|
Havona, and except for Divinington, of the Father's Paradise spheres. After
|
|||
|
these experiences the Perfectors of Wisdom were permanently assigned to the
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
top of page - 216
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
service of the Ancients of Days. They serve neither on Paradise nor on the
|
|||
|
worlds of the Paradise-Havona circuits; they are wholly occupied with the
|
|||
|
administration of the superuniverse governments.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Wherever and whenever a Perfector of Wisdom functions, there and then divine
|
|||
|
wisdom functions. There is actuality of presence and perfection of
|
|||
|
manifestation in the knowledge and wisdom represented in the doings of these
|
|||
|
mighty and majestic personalities. They do not reflect the wisdom of the
|
|||
|
Paradise Trinity; they are that wisdom. They are the sources of wisdom for all
|
|||
|
teachers in the application of universe knowledge; they are the fountains of
|
|||
|
discretion and the wellsprings of discrimination to the institutions of
|
|||
|
learning and discernment in all universes.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Wisdom is twofold in origin, being derived from the perfection of divine
|
|||
|
insight inherent in perfect beings and from the personal experience acquired by
|
|||
|
evolutionary creatures. The Perfectors of Wisdom are the divine wisdom of the
|
|||
|
Paradise perfection of Deity insight. Their administrative associates on
|
|||
|
Uversa, the Mighty Messengers, Those without Name and Number, and Those High in
|
|||
|
Authority, when acting together, are the universe wisdom of experience. A
|
|||
|
divine being can have perfection of divine knowledge. An evolutionary mortal
|
|||
|
can sometime attain perfection of ascendant knowledge, but neither of these
|
|||
|
beings alone exhausts the potentials of all possible wisdom. Accordingly,
|
|||
|
whenever in the conduct of the superuniverse it is desired to achieve the
|
|||
|
maximum of administrative wisdom, these perfectors of the wisdom of divine
|
|||
|
insight are always associated with those ascendant personalities who have come
|
|||
|
up to the high responsibilities of superuniverse authority through the
|
|||
|
experiential tribulations of evolutionary progression.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Perfectors of Wisdom will always require this complement of experiential
|
|||
|
wisdom for the completion of their administrative sagacity. But it has been
|
|||
|
postulated that a high and hitherto unattained level of wisdom may possibly be
|
|||
|
achieved by the Paradise finaliters after they are sometime inducted into the
|
|||
|
seventh stage of spirit existence. If this inference is correct, then would
|
|||
|
such perfected beings of evolutionary ascent undoubtedly become the most
|
|||
|
effective universe administrators ever to be known in all creation. I believe
|
|||
|
that such is the high destiny of finaliters.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The versatility of the Perfectors of Wisdom enables them to participate in
|
|||
|
practically all of the celestial services of the ascendant creatures. The
|
|||
|
Perfectors of Wisdom and my order of personality, the Divine Counselors,
|
|||
|
together with the Universal Censors, constitute the highest orders of beings
|
|||
|
who may and do engage in the work of revealing truth to the individual planets
|
|||
|
and systems, whether in their earlier epochs or when settled in light and life.
|
|||
|
From time to time we all make contact with the service of the ascending
|
|||
|
mortals, from an initial-life planet on up through a local universe and the
|
|||
|
superuniverse, particularly the latter.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
3. THE DIVINE COUNSELORS
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
These Trinity-origin beings are the counsel of Deity to the realms of the seven
|
|||
|
superuniverses. They are not reflective of the divine counsel of the Trinity;
|
|||
|
they are that counsel. There are twenty-one billion Counselors in service, and
|
|||
|
three billion are assigned to each superuniverse.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
top of page - 217
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Divine Counselors are the associates and equals of the Universal Censors and
|
|||
|
the Perfectors of Wisdom, from one to seven Counselors being associated with
|
|||
|
each of these latter personalities. All three orders participate in the
|
|||
|
government of the Ancients of Days, including major and minor sectors, in the
|
|||
|
local universes and constellations, and in the councils of the local system
|
|||
|
sovereigns.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
We act as individuals, as I do in inditing this statement, but we also function
|
|||
|
as a trio whenever the occasion requires. When we act in an executive capacity,
|
|||
|
always there are associated together a Perfector of Wisdom, a Universal Censor,
|
|||
|
and from one to seven Divine Counselors.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
One Perfector of Wisdom, seven Divine Counselors, and one Universal Censor
|
|||
|
constitute a tribunal of Trinity divinity, the highest mobile advisory body in
|
|||
|
the universes of time and space. Such a group of nine is known either as a
|
|||
|
fact-finding or as a truth-revealing tribunal, and when it sits in judgment
|
|||
|
upon a problem and renders a decision, it is just as if an Ancient of Days had
|
|||
|
adjudicated the matter, for in all the annals of the superuniverses such a
|
|||
|
verdict has never been reversed by the Ancients of Days.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
When the three Ancients of Days function, the Paradise Trinity functions. When
|
|||
|
the tribunal of nine arrives at a decision following its united deliberations,
|
|||
|
to all intents and purposes the Ancients of Days have spoken. And it is in this
|
|||
|
manner that the Paradise Rulers make personal contact, in administrative
|
|||
|
matters and governmental regulation, with the individual worlds, systems, and
|
|||
|
universes.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Divine Counselors are the perfection of the divine counsel of the Paradise
|
|||
|
Trinity. We represent, in fact are, the counsel of perfection. When we are
|
|||
|
supplemented by the experiential counsel of our associates, the perfected and
|
|||
|
Trinity-embraced beings of evolutionary ascent, our combined conclusions are
|
|||
|
not only complete but replete. When our united counsel has been associated,
|
|||
|
adjudicated, confirmed, and promulgated by a Universal Censor, it is very
|
|||
|
probable that it approaches the threshold of universal totality. Such verdicts
|
|||
|
represent the nearest possible approach to the absolute attitude of Deity
|
|||
|
within the time-space limits of the situation involved and the problem
|
|||
|
concerned.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Seven Divine Counselors in liaison with a trinitized evolutionary trio--a
|
|||
|
Mighty Messenger, One High in Authority, and One without Name and
|
|||
|
Number--represent the nearest superuniverse approach to the union of the human
|
|||
|
viewpoint and the divine attitude on near-paradisiacal levels of spiritual
|
|||
|
meanings and reality values. Such close approximation of the united cosmic
|
|||
|
attitudes of the creature and the Creator is only surpassed in the Paradise
|
|||
|
bestowal Sons, who are, in every phase of personality experience, God and man.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
4. THE UNIVERSAL CENSORS
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
There are exactly eight billion Universal Censors in existence. These unique
|
|||
|
beings are the judgment of Deity. They are not merely reflective of the
|
|||
|
decisions of perfection; they are the judgment of the Paradise Trinity. Even
|
|||
|
the Ancients of Days do not sit in judgment except in association with the
|
|||
|
Universal Censors.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
One Censor is commissioned on each of the billion worlds of the central
|
|||
|
universe, being attached to the planetary administration of the resident
|
|||
|
Eternal of Days. Neither Perfectors of Wisdom nor Divine Counselors are thus
|
|||
|
permanently attached to the Havona administrations, nor do we altogether
|
|||
|
understand
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
top of page - 218
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
why Universal Censors are stationed in the central universe. Their present
|
|||
|
activities hardly account for their assignment in Havona, and we therefore
|
|||
|
suspect that they are there in anticipation of the needs of some future
|
|||
|
universe age in which the Havona population may partially change.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
One billion Censors are assigned to each of the seven superuniverses. Both in
|
|||
|
an individual capacity and in association with Perfectors of Wisdom and Divine
|
|||
|
Counselors, they operate throughout all divisions of the seven superuniverses.
|
|||
|
Thus the Censors act on all levels of the grand universe, from the perfect
|
|||
|
worlds of Havona to the councils of the System Sovereigns, and they are an
|
|||
|
organic part of all dispensational adjudications of the evolutionary worlds.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Whenever and wherever a Universal Censor is present, then and there is the
|
|||
|
judgment of Deity. And since the Censors always render their verdicts in
|
|||
|
liaison with Perfectors of Wisdom and Divine Counselors, such decisions embrace
|
|||
|
the united wisdom, counsel, and judgment of the Paradise Trinity. In this
|
|||
|
juridical trio the Perfector of Wisdom would be the "I was," the Divine
|
|||
|
Counselor the "I will be," but the Universal Censor is always "I am."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Censors are universe totaling personalities. When a thousand witnesses have
|
|||
|
given testimony--or a million--when the voice of wisdom has spoken and the
|
|||
|
counsel of divinity has recorded, when the testimony of ascendant perfection
|
|||
|
has been added, then the Censor functions, and there is immediately revealed an
|
|||
|
unerring and divine totaling of all that has transpired; and such a disclosure
|
|||
|
represents the divine conclusion, the sum and substance of a final and perfect
|
|||
|
decision. Therefore, when a Censor has spoken, no one else may speak, for the
|
|||
|
Censor has depicted the true and unmistakable total of all that has gone
|
|||
|
before. When he speaks, there is no appeal.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Most fully do I understand the operation of the mind of a Perfector of Wisdom,
|
|||
|
but I certainly do not fully comprehend the working of the adjudicating mind of
|
|||
|
a Universal Censor. It appears to me that the Censors formulate new meanings
|
|||
|
and originate new values from the association of the facts, truths, and
|
|||
|
findings presented to them in the course of an investigation of universe
|
|||
|
affairs. It seems probable that the Universal Censors are able to bring forth
|
|||
|
original interpretations of the combination of perfect Creator insight and the
|
|||
|
perfected creature experience. This association of Paradise perfection and
|
|||
|
universe experience undoubtedly eventuates a new value in ultimates.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
But this is not the end of our difficulties regarding the working of the minds
|
|||
|
of the Universal Censors. Having made due allowances for all that we know or
|
|||
|
conjecture about the functioning of a Censor in any given universe situation,
|
|||
|
we find that we are still unable to predict decisions or to forecast verdicts.
|
|||
|
We very accurately determine the probable result of the association of Creator
|
|||
|
attitude and creature experience, but such conclusions are not always accurate
|
|||
|
forecasts of Censor disclosures. It seems likely that the Censors are in some
|
|||
|
manner in liaison with the Deity Absolute; we are otherwise unable to explain
|
|||
|
many of their decisions and rulings.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Perfectors of Wisdom, Divine Counselors, and Universal Censors, together with
|
|||
|
the seven orders of Supreme Trinity Personalities, constitute those ten groups
|
|||
|
which have been sometimes designated Stationary Sons of the Trinity. Together
|
|||
|
they comprise the grand corps of Trinity administrators, rulers, executives,
|
|||
|
advisers, counselors, and judges. Their numbers slightly exceed thirty
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
top of page - 219
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
-seven billion. Two billion and seventy are stationed in the central universe
|
|||
|
and just over five billion in each superuniverse.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
It is very difficult to portray the functional limits of the Stationary Sons of
|
|||
|
the Trinity. It would be incorrect to state that their acts are finite limited,
|
|||
|
for there are transactions of superuniverse record which indicate otherwise.
|
|||
|
They act on any level of universe administration or adjudication that may be
|
|||
|
required by time-space conditions and that pertains to the past, present, and
|
|||
|
future evolution of the master universe.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
5. INSPIRED TRINITY SPIRITS
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I will be able to tell you very little concerning the Inspired Trinity Spirits,
|
|||
|
for they are one of the few wholly secret orders of beings in existence,
|
|||
|
secret, no doubt, because it is impossible for them fully to reveal themselves
|
|||
|
even to those of us whose origin is so near the source of their creation. They
|
|||
|
come into being by the act of the Paradise Trinity and may be utilized by any
|
|||
|
one or two of the Deities as well as by all three. We do not know whether these
|
|||
|
Spirits are of completed numbers or are constantly increasing, but we incline
|
|||
|
to the belief that their number is not fixed.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
We fully understand neither the nature nor the conduct of the Inspired Spirits.
|
|||
|
They may possibly belong to the category of superpersonal spirits. They seem to
|
|||
|
operate over all known circuits and appear to act well-nigh independently of
|
|||
|
time and space. But we know little about them except as we deduce their
|
|||
|
character from the nature of their activities, the results of which we
|
|||
|
certainly observe here and there in the universes.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Under certain conditions these Inspired Spirits can individualize themselves
|
|||
|
sufficiently for recognition by beings of Trinity origin. I have seen them; but
|
|||
|
it would never be possible for the lower orders of celestial beings to
|
|||
|
recognize one of them. Certain circumstances also arise from time to time in
|
|||
|
the conduct of the evolving universes in which any being of Trinity origin may
|
|||
|
directly employ these Spirits in the furtherance of his assignments. We
|
|||
|
therefore know that they exist, and that under certain conditions we may
|
|||
|
command and receive their assistance, sometimes recognize their presence. But
|
|||
|
they are not a part of the manifest and definitely revealed organization
|
|||
|
intrusted with the conduct of the time-space universes before such material
|
|||
|
creations are settled in light and life. They have no clearly discernible place
|
|||
|
in the present economy or administration of the evolving seven superuniverses.
|
|||
|
They are a secret of the Paradise Trinity
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Melchizedeks of Nebadon teach that Inspired Trinity Spirits are destined,
|
|||
|
sometime in the eternal future, to function in the places of the Solitary
|
|||
|
Messengers, whose ranks are slowly but certainly being depleted by their
|
|||
|
assignment as associates of certain types of trinitized sons.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Inspired Spirits are the solitary Spirits of the universe of universes. As
|
|||
|
Spirits they are very much like the Solitary Messengers except that the latter
|
|||
|
are distinct personalities. We obtain much of our knowledge of the Inspired
|
|||
|
Spirits from the Solitary Messengers, who detect their nearness by virtue of an
|
|||
|
inherent sensitivity to the presence of the Inspired Spirits which functions
|
|||
|
just as unfailingly as a magnetic needle points to a magnetic pole. When a
|
|||
|
Solitary Messenger is near an Inspired Trinity Spirit, he is conscious of a
|
|||
|
qualitative indication of such a divine presence and also of a very definite
|
|||
|
quantitative
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
top of page - 220
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
registration which enables him actually to know the classification or number of
|
|||
|
the Spirit presence or presences.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I may relate a further interesting fact: When a Solitary Messenger is on a
|
|||
|
planet whose inhabitants are indwelt by Thought Adjusters, as on Urantia, he is
|
|||
|
aware of a qualitative excitation in his detection-sensitivity to spirit
|
|||
|
presence. In such instances there is no quantitative excitation, only a
|
|||
|
qualitative agitation. When on a planet to which Adjusters do not come, contact
|
|||
|
with the natives does not produce any such reaction. This suggests that Thought
|
|||
|
Adjusters are in some manner related to, or are connected with, the Inspired
|
|||
|
Spirits of the Paradise Trinity. In some way they may possibly be associated in
|
|||
|
certain phases of their work; but we do not really know. They both originate
|
|||
|
near the center and source of all things, but they are not the same order of
|
|||
|
being. Thought Adjusters spring from the Father alone; Inspired Spirits are the
|
|||
|
offspring of the Paradise Trinity.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Inspired Spirits do not apparently belong to the evolutionary scheme of the
|
|||
|
individual planets or universes, and yet they seem to be almost everywhere.
|
|||
|
Even as I am engaged in the formulation of this statement, my associated
|
|||
|
Solitary Messenger's personal sensitivity to the presence of this order of
|
|||
|
Spirit indicates that there is with us at this very moment, not over
|
|||
|
twenty-five feet away, a Spirit of the Inspired order and of the third volume
|
|||
|
of power presence. The third volume of power presence suggests to us the
|
|||
|
probability that three Inspired Spirits are functioning in liaison.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Of more than twelve orders of beings associated with me at this time, the
|
|||
|
Solitary Messenger is the only one aware of the presence of these mysterious
|
|||
|
entities of the Trinity. And further, while we are thus apprised of the
|
|||
|
nearness of these divine Spirits, we are all equally ignorant of their mission.
|
|||
|
We really do not know whether they are merely interested observers of our
|
|||
|
doings, or whether they are, in some manner unknown to us, actually
|
|||
|
contributing to the success of our undertaking.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
We know that the Trinity Teacher Sons are devoted to the conscious
|
|||
|
enlightenment of universe creatures. I have arrived at the settled conclusion
|
|||
|
that the Inspired Trinity Spirits, by superconscious techniques, are also
|
|||
|
functioning as teachers of the realms. I am persuaded that there is a vast body
|
|||
|
of essential spiritual knowledge, truth indispensable to high spiritual
|
|||
|
attainment, which cannot be consciously received; self-consciousness would
|
|||
|
effectively jeopardize the certainty of reception. If we are right in this
|
|||
|
concept, and my entire order of being shares it, it may be the mission of these
|
|||
|
Inspired Spirits to overcome this difficulty, to bridge this gap in the
|
|||
|
universal scheme of moral enlightenment and spiritual advancement. We think
|
|||
|
that these two types of Trinity-origin teachers effect some kind of liaison in
|
|||
|
their activities, but we do not really know.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
On the superuniverse training worlds and on the eternal circuits of Havona, I
|
|||
|
have fraternized with the perfecting mortals--spiritualized and ascendant souls
|
|||
|
from the evolutionary realms--but never have they been aware of the Inspired
|
|||
|
Spirits, which ever and anon the powers of detection resident in the Solitary
|
|||
|
Messengers would indicate were very near us. I have freely conversed with all
|
|||
|
orders of the Sons of God, high and low, and they likewise are unconscious of
|
|||
|
the admonitions of the Inspired Trinity Spirits. They can and do look back in
|
|||
|
their experiences and recount happenings which are difficult to explain if the
|
|||
|
action of such Spirits is not taken into account. But excepting Solitary Mes-
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
top of page - 221
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
engers, and sometimes Trinity-origin beings, none of the celestial family have
|
|||
|
ever been conscious of the nearness of the Inspired Spirits.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I do not believe the Inspired Trinity Spirits are playing hide and seek with
|
|||
|
me. They are probably trying just as hard to disclose themselves to me as I am
|
|||
|
to communicate with them; our difficulties and limitations must be mutual and
|
|||
|
inherent. I am satisfied that there are no arbitrary secrets in the universe;
|
|||
|
therefore will I never cease in my efforts to solve the mystery of the
|
|||
|
isolation of these Spirits belonging to my order of creation.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
And from all this, you mortals, just now taking your first step on the eternal
|
|||
|
journey, can well see that you must advance a long way before you will progress
|
|||
|
by "sight" and "material" assurance. You will long use faith and be dependent
|
|||
|
on revelation if you hope to progress quickly and safely.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
6. HAVONA NATIVES
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Havona natives are the direct creation of the Paradise Trinity, and their
|
|||
|
number is beyond the concept of your circumscribed minds. Neither is it
|
|||
|
possible for Urantians to conceive of the inherent endowments of such divinely
|
|||
|
perfect creatures as these Trinity-origin races of the eternal universe. You
|
|||
|
can never truly envisage these glorious creatures; you must await your arrival
|
|||
|
in Havona, when you can greet them as spirit comrades.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
During your long sojourn on the billion worlds of Havona culture you will
|
|||
|
develop an eternal friendship for these superb beings. And how deep is that
|
|||
|
friendship which grows up between the lowest personal creature from the worlds
|
|||
|
of space and these high personal beings native to the perfect spheres of the
|
|||
|
central universe! Ascending mortals, in their long and loving association with
|
|||
|
the Havona natives, do much to compensate for the spiritual impoverishment of
|
|||
|
the earlier stages of mortal progression. At the same time, through their
|
|||
|
contacts with ascending pilgrims, the Havoners gain an experience which to no
|
|||
|
small extent overcomes the experiential handicap of having always lived a life
|
|||
|
of divine perfection. The good to both ascending mortal and Havona native is
|
|||
|
great and mutual.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Havona natives, like all other Trinity-origin personalities, are projected in
|
|||
|
divine perfection, and as with other Trinity-origin personalities, the passing
|
|||
|
of time may add to their stores of experiential endowments. But unlike the
|
|||
|
Stationary Sons of the Trinity, Havoners may evolve in status, may have an
|
|||
|
unrevealed future eternity-destiny. This is illustrated by those Havoners who
|
|||
|
service-factualize capacity for fusion with a non-Adjuster Father fragment and
|
|||
|
so qualify for membership in the Mortal Corps of the Finality. And there are
|
|||
|
other finaliter corps open to these natives of the central universe.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The status evolution of Havona natives has occasioned much speculation on
|
|||
|
Uversa. Since they are constantly filtering into the several Paradise Corps of
|
|||
|
the Finality, and since no more are being created, it is apparent that the
|
|||
|
number of natives remaining in Havona is constantly diminishing. The ultimate
|
|||
|
consequences of these transactions have never been revealed to us, but we do
|
|||
|
not believe that Havona will ever be entirely depleted of its natives. We have
|
|||
|
entertained the theory that Havoners will possibly cease entering the finaliter
|
|||
|
corps sometime during the ages of the successive creations of the outer space
|
|||
|
levels.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
top of page - 222
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
We have also entertained the thought that in these subsequent universe ages the
|
|||
|
central universe may be peopled by a mixed group of resident beings, a
|
|||
|
citizenship consisting only in part of the original Havona natives. We do not
|
|||
|
know what order or type of creature may be thus destined to residential status
|
|||
|
in the future Havona, but we have thought of:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
1. The univitatia, who are at present the permanent citizens of the local
|
|||
|
universe constellations.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
2. Future types of mortals who may be born on the inhabited spheres of the
|
|||
|
superuniverses in the flowering of the ages of light and life.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
3. The incoming spiritual aristocracy of the successive outer universes.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
We know that the Havona of the previous universe age was somewhat different
|
|||
|
from the Havona of the present age. We deem it no more than reasonable to
|
|||
|
assume that we are now witnessing those slow changes in the central universe
|
|||
|
that are anticipatory of the ages to come. One thing is certain: The universe
|
|||
|
is nonstatic; only God is changeless.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
7. PARADISE CITIZENS
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
There are resident on Paradise numerous groups of superb beings, the Paradise
|
|||
|
Citizens. They are not directly concerned with the scheme of perfecting
|
|||
|
ascending will creatures and are not, therefore, fully revealed to Urantia
|
|||
|
mortals. There are more than three thousand orders of these supernal
|
|||
|
intelligences, the last group having been personalized simultaneously with the
|
|||
|
mandate of the Trinity which promulgated the creative plan of the seven
|
|||
|
superuniverses of time and space.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Paradise Citizens and Havona natives are sometimes designated collectively as
|
|||
|
Paradise-Havona personalities.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
This completes the story of those beings who are brought into existence by the
|
|||
|
Paradise Trinity. None of them have ever gone astray. And yet, in the highest
|
|||
|
sense, they are all freewill endowed.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Trinity-origin beings possess prerogatives of transit which make them
|
|||
|
independent of transport personalities, such as seraphim. We all possess the
|
|||
|
power of moving about freely and quickly in the universe of universes.
|
|||
|
Excepting the Inspired Trinity Spirits, we cannot attain the almost
|
|||
|
unbelievable velocity of the Solitary Messengers, but we are able so to utilize
|
|||
|
the sum total of the transport facilities in space that we can reach any point
|
|||
|
in a superuniverse, from its headquarters, in less than one year of Urantia
|
|||
|
time. It required 109 days of your time for me to journey from Uversa to
|
|||
|
Urantia.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Through these same avenues we are enabled to intercommunicate instantaneously.
|
|||
|
Our entire order of creation finds itself in touch with every individual
|
|||
|
embraced within every division of the children of the Paradise Trinity save
|
|||
|
only the Inspired Spirits.
