--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
Introduction
|
||
|
||
SUPERNAPHIM are the ministering spirits of Paradise and the central universe;
|
||
they are the highest order of the lowest group of the children of the Infinite
|
||
Spirit--the angelic hosts. Such ministering spirits are to be encountered from
|
||
the Isle of Paradise to the worlds of time and space. No major part of the
|
||
organized and inhabited creation is without their services.
|
||
|
||
1. THE MINISTERING SPIRITS
|
||
|
||
Angels are the ministering-spirit associates of the evolutionary and ascending
|
||
will creatures of all space; they are also the colleagues and working
|
||
associates of the higher hosts of the divine personalities of the spheres. The
|
||
angels of all orders are distinct personalities and are highly individualized.
|
||
They all have a large capacity for appreciation of the ministrations of the
|
||
reversion directors. Together with the Messenger Hosts of Space, the
|
||
ministering spirits enjoy seasons of rest and change; they possess very social
|
||
natures and have an associative capacity far transcending that of human beings.
|
||
|
||
The ministering spirits of the grand universe are classified as follows:
|
||
|
||
1. Supernaphim.
|
||
|
||
2. Seconaphim.
|
||
|
||
3. Tertiaphim.
|
||
|
||
4. Omniaphim.
|
||
|
||
5. Seraphim.
|
||
|
||
6. Cherubim and Sanobim.
|
||
|
||
7. Midway Creatures.
|
||
|
||
The individual members of the angelic orders are not altogether stationary as
|
||
to personal status in the universe. Angels of certain orders may become
|
||
Paradise Companions for a season; some become Celestial Recorders; others
|
||
ascend to the ranks of the Technical Advisers. Certain of the cherubim may
|
||
aspire to seraphic status and destiny, while evolutionary seraphim can achieve
|
||
the spiritual levels of the ascending Sons of God.
|
||
|
||
The seven orders of ministering spirits, as revealed, are grouped for
|
||
presentation in accordance with their functions of greatest importance to
|
||
ascending creatures:
|
||
|
||
1. The Ministering Spirits of the Central Universe. The three orders of
|
||
supernaphim serve in the Paradise-Havona system. Primary or Paradise
|
||
supernaphim are created by the Infinite Spirit. The secondary and tertiary
|
||
orders,
|
||
|
||
top of page - 286
|
||
|
||
serving in Havona, are respectively the offspring of the Master Spirits and of
|
||
the Spirits of the Circuits.
|
||
|
||
2. The Ministering Spirits of the Superuniverses--the seconaphim, the
|
||
tertiaphim, and the omniaphim. Seconaphim, the children of the Reflective
|
||
Spirits, variously serve in the seven superuniverses. Tertiaphim, of origin in
|
||
the Infinite Spirit, are eventually dedicated to the liaison service of the
|
||
Creator Sons and the Ancients of Days. Omniaphim are created concertedly by the
|
||
Infinite Spirit and the Seven Supreme Executives, and they are the exclusive
|
||
servants of the latter. The discussion of these three orders forms the subject
|
||
of a succeeding narrative in this series.
|
||
|
||
3. The Ministering Spirits of the Local Universes embrace the seraphim and
|
||
their assistants, the cherubim. With these offspring of a Universe Mother
|
||
Spirit mortal ascenders have initial contact. The midway creatures, of nativity
|
||
on the inhabited worlds, are not really of the angelic orders proper, though
|
||
often functionally grouped with the ministering spirits. Their story, with an
|
||
account of the seraphim and cherubim, is presented in those papers dealing with
|
||
the affairs of your local universe.
|
||
|
||
All orders of the angelic hosts are devoted to the various universe services,
|
||
and they minister in one way or another to the higher orders of celestial
|
||
beings; but it is the supernaphim, seconaphim, and seraphim who, in large
|
||
numbers, are employed in the furtherance of the ascending scheme of progressive
|
||
perfection for the children of time. Functioning in the central, super-, and
|
||
local universes, they form that unbroken chain of spirit ministers which has
|
||
been provided by the Infinite Spirit for the help and guidance of all who seek
|
||
to attain the Universal Father through the Eternal Son.
|
||
|
||
Supernaphim are limited in "spirit polarity" regarding only one phase of
|
||
action, that with the Universal Father. They can work singly except when
|
||
directly employing the exclusive circuits of the Father. When they are in power
|
||
reception on the Father's direct ministry, supernaphim must voluntarily
|
||
associate in pairs to be able to function. Seconaphim are likewise limited and
|
||
in addition must work in pairs in order to synchronize with the circuits of the
|
||
Eternal Son. Seraphim can work singly as discrete and localized personalities,
|
||
but they are able to encircuit only when polarized as liaison pairs. When such
|
||
spirit beings are associated as pairs, the one is spoken of as complemental to
|
||
the other. Complemental relationships may be transient; they are not
|
||
necessarily of a permanent nature.
|
||
|
||
These brilliant creatures of light are sustained directly by the intake of the
|
||
spiritual energy of the primary circuits of the universe. Urantia mortals must
|
||
obtain light-energy through the vegetative incarnation, but the angelic hosts
|
||
are encircuited; they "have food that you know not." They also partake of the
|
||
circulating teachings of the marvelous Trinity Teacher Sons; they have a
|
||
reception of knowledge and an intake of wisdom much resembling their technique
|
||
of assimilating the life energies.
|
||
|
||
2. THE MIGHTY SUPERNAPHIM
|
||
|
||
The supernaphim are the skilled ministers to all types of beings who sojourn on
|
||
Paradise and in the central universe. These high angels are created in three
|
||
major orders: primary, secondary, and tertiary.
|
||
|
||
top of page - 287
|
||
|
||
Primary supernaphim are the exclusive offspring of the Conjoint Creator. They
|
||
divide their ministry about equally between certain groups of the Paradise
|
||
Citizens and the ever-enlarging corps of ascendant pilgrims. These angels of
|
||
the eternal Isle are highly efficacious in furthering the essential training of
|
||
both groups of Paradise dwellers. They contribute much that is helpful to the
|
||
mutual understanding of these two unique orders of universe creatures--the one
|
||
being the highest type of divine and perfect will creature, and the other, the
|
||
perfected evolution of the lowest type of will creature in all the universe of
|
||
universes.
|
||
|
||
The work of the primary supernaphim is so unique and distinctive that it will
|
||
be separately considered in the succeeding narrative.
|
||
|
||
Secondary supernaphim are the directors of the affairs of ascending beings on
|
||
the seven circuits of Havona. They are equally concerned in ministering to the
|
||
educational training of numerous orders of Paradise Citizens who sojourn for
|
||
long periods on the world circuits of the central creation, but we may not
|
||
discuss this phase of their service.
|
||
|
||
There are seven types of these high angels, each of origin in one of the Seven
|
||
Master Spirits and in nature patterned accordingly. Collectively, the Seven
|
||
Master Spirits create many different groups of unique beings and entities, and
|
||
the individual members of each order are comparatively uniform in nature. But
|
||
when these same Seven Spirits create individually, the resulting orders are
|
||
always sevenfold in nature; the children of each Master Spirit partake of the
|
||
nature of their creator and are accordingly diverse from the others. Such is
|
||
the origin of the secondary supernaphim, and the angels of all seven created
|
||
types function in all channels of activity open to their entire order, chiefly
|
||
on the seven circuits of the central and divine universe.
|
||
|
||
Each of the seven planetary circuits of Havona is under the direct supervision
|
||
of one of the Seven Spirits of the Circuits, themselves the collective--hence
|
||
uniform--creation of the Seven Master Spirits. Though partaking of the nature
|
||
of the Third Source and Center, these seven subsidiary Spirits of Havona were
|
||
not a part of the original pattern universe. They were in function after the
|
||
original (eternal) creation but long before the times of Grandfanda. They
|
||
undoubtedly appeared as a creative response of the Master Spirits to the
|
||
emerging purpose of the Supreme Being, and they were discovered in function
|
||
upon the organization of the grand universe. The Infinite Spirit and all his
|
||
creative associates, as universal co-ordinators, seem abundantly endowed with
|
||
the ability to make suitable creative responses to the simultaneous
|
||
developments in the experiential Deities and in the evolving universes.
|
||
|
||
Tertiary supernaphim take origin in these Seven Spirits of the Circuits. Each
|
||
one of them, on the separate Havona circles, is empowered by the Infinite
|
||
Spirit to create a sufficient number of high superaphic ministers of the
|
||
tertiary order to meet the needs of the central universe. While the Circuit
|
||
Spirits produced comparatively few of these angelic ministers prior to the
|
||
arrival in Havona of the pilgrims of time, the Seven Master Spirits did not
|
||
even begin the creation of secondary supernaphim until the landing of
|
||
Grandfanda. As the older of the two orders, the tertiary supernaphim will
|
||
therefore receive first consideration.
|
||

|
||
|
||
3. THE TERTIARY SUPERNAPHIM
|
||
|
||
These servants of the Seven Master Spirits are the angelic specialists of the
|
||
various circuits of Havona, and their ministry extends to both the ascending
|
||
pilgrims of time and the descending pilgrims of eternity. On the billion study
|
||
worlds of the perfect central creation, your superaphic associates of all
|
||
orders will be fully visible to you. There you will all be, in the highest
|
||
sense, fraternal and understanding beings of mutual contact and sympathy. You
|
||
will also fully recognize and exquisitely fraternize with the descending
|
||
pilgrims, the Paradise Citizens, who traverse these circuits from within
|
||
outward, entering Havona through the pilot world of the first circuit and
|
||
proceeding outward to the seventh.
|
||
|
||
The ascending pilgrims from the seven superuniverses pass through Havona in the
|
||
opposite direction, entering by way of the pilot world of the seventh circuit
|
||
and proceeding inward. There is no time limit set on the progress of the
|
||
ascending creatures from world to world and from circuit to circuit, just as no
|
||
fixed span of time is arbitrarily assigned to residence on the morontia worlds.
|
||
But, whereas adequately developed individuals may be exempted from sojourn on
|
||
one or more of the local universe training worlds, no pilgrim may avoid passing
|
||
through all seven of the Havona circuits of progressive spiritualization.
|
||
|
||
That corps of tertiary supernaphim which is chiefly assigned to the service of
|
||
the pilgrims of time is classified as follows:
|
||
|
||
1. The Harmony Supervisors. It must be apparent that some sort of co-ordinating
|
||
influence would be required, even in perfect Havona, to maintain system and to
|
||
insure harmony in all the work of preparing the pilgrims of time for their
|
||
subsequent Paradise achievements. Such is the real mission of the harmony
|
||
supervisors--to keep everything moving along smoothly and expeditiously.
|
||
Originating on the first circuit, they serve throughout Havona, and their
|
||
presence on the circuits means that nothing can possibly go amiss. A great
|
||
ability to co-ordinate a diversity of activities involving personalities of
|
||
differing orders--even multiple levels--enables these supernaphim to give
|
||
assistance wherever and whenever required. They contribute enormously to the
|
||
mutual understanding of the pilgrims of time and the pilgrims of eternity.
|
||
|
||
2. The Chief Recorders. These angels are created on the second circuit but
|
||
operate everywhere in the central universe. They record in triplicate,
|
||
executing records for the literal files of Havona, for the spiritual files of
|
||
their order, and for the formal records of Paradise. In addition they
|
||
automatically transmit the transactions of true-knowledge import to the living
|
||
libraries of Paradise, the custodians of knowledge of the primary order of
|
||
supernaphim.
|
||
|
||
3. The Broadcasters. The children of the third Circuit Spirit function
|
||
throughout Havona, although their official station is located on planet number
|
||
seventy in the outermost circle. These master technicians are the broadcast
|
||
receivers and senders of the central creation and the directors of the space
|
||
reports of all Deity phenomena on Paradise. They can operate all of the basic
|
||
circuits of space.
|
||
|
||
4. The Messengers take origin on circuit number four. They range the
|
||
Paradise-Havona system as bearers of all messages requiring personal transmis-
|
||
|
||
top of page - 289
|
||
|
||
sion. They serve their fellows, the celestial personalities, the Paradise
|
||
pilgrims, and even the ascendant souls of time.
|
||
|
||
5. The Intelligence Co-ordinators. These tertiary supernaphim, the children of
|
||
the fifth Circuit Spirit, are always the wise and sympathetic promoters of
|
||
fraternal association between the ascending and the descending pilgrims. They
|
||
minister to all the inhabitants of Havona, and especially to the ascenders, by
|
||
keeping them currently informed regarding the affairs of the universe of
|
||
universes. By virtue of personal contacts with the broadcasters and the
|
||
reflectors, these "living newspapers" of Havona are instantly conversant with
|
||
all information passing over the vast news circuits of the central universe.
|
||
They secure intelligence by the Havona graph method, which enables them
|
||
automatically to assimilate as much information in one hour of Urantia time as
|
||
would require a thousand years for your most rapid telegraphic technique to
|
||
record.
|
||
|
||
6. The Transport Personalities. These beings, of origin on circuit number six,
|
||
usually operate from planet number forty in the outermost circuit. It is they
|
||
who take away the disappointed candidates who transiently fail in the Deity
|
||
adventure. They stand ready to serve all who must come and go in the service of
|
||
Havona, and who are not space traversers.
|
||
|
||
7. The Reserve Corps. The fluctuations in the work with the ascendant beings,
|
||
the Paradise pilgrims, and other orders of beings sojourning in Havona, make it
|
||
necessary to maintain these reserves of supernaphim on the pilot world of the
|
||
seventh circle, where they take origin. They are created without special design
|
||
and are competent to take up service in the less exacting phases of any of the
|
||
duties of their superaphic associates of the tertiary order.
|
||
|
||
4. THE SECONDARY SUPERNAPHIM
|
||
|
||
The secondary supernaphim are ministers to the seven planetary circuits of the
|
||
central universe. Part are devoted to the service of the pilgrims of time, and
|
||
one half of the entire order is assigned to the training of the Paradise
|
||
pilgrims of eternity. These Paradise Citizens, in their pilgrimage through the
|
||
Havona circuits, are also attended by volunteers from the Mortal Finality
|
||
Corps, an arrangement that has prevailed since the completion of the first
|
||
finaliter group.
|
||
|
||
According to their periodic assignment to the ministry of the ascending
|
||
pilgrims, secondary supernaphim work in the following seven groups:
|
||
|
||
1. Pilgrim Helpers.
|
||
|
||
2. Supremacy Guides.
|
||
|
||
3. Trinity Guides.
|
||
|
||
4. Son Finders.
|
||
|
||
5. Father Guides.
|
||
|
||
6. Counselors and Advisers.
|
||
|
||
7. Complements of Rest.
|
||
|
||
Each of these working groups contains angels of all seven created types, and a
|
||
pilgrim of space is always tutored by secondary supernaphim of origin in
|
||
|
||
top of page - 290
|
||
|
||
the Master Spirit who presides over that pilgrim's superuniverse of nativity.
|
||
When you mortals of Urantia attain Havona, you will certainly be piloted by
|
||
supernaphim whose created natures--like your own evolved natures--are derived
|
||
from the Master Spirit of Orvonton. And since your tutors spring from the
|
||
Master Spirit of your own superuniverse, they are especially qualified to
|
||
understand, comfort, and assist you in all your efforts to attain Paradise
|
||
perfection.
|
||
|
||
The pilgrims of time are transported past the dark gravity bodies of Havona to
|
||
the outer planetary circuit by the transport personalities of the primary order
|
||
of seconaphim, operating from the headquarters of the seven superuniverses. A
|
||
majority, but not all, of the seraphim of planetary and local universe service
|
||
who have been accredited for the Paradise ascent will part with their mortal
|
||
associates before the long flight to Havona and will at once begin a long and
|
||
intense training for supernal assignment, expecting to achieve, as seraphim,
|
||
perfection of existence and supremacy of service. And this they do, hoping to
|
||
rejoin the pilgrims of time, to be reckoned among those who forever follow the
|
||
course of such mortals as have attained the Universal Father and have received
|
||
assignment to the undisclosed service of the Corps of the Finality.
|
||
|
||
The pilgrim lands on the receiving planet of Havona, the pilot world of the
|
||
seventh circuit, with only one endowment of perfection, perfection of purpose.
|
||
The Universal Father has decreed: "Be you perfect, even as I am perfect." That
|
||
is the astounding invitation-command broadcast to the finite children of the
|
||
worlds of space. The promulgation of that injunction has set all creation astir
|
||
in the co-operative effort of the celestial beings to assist in bringing about
|
||
the fulfillment and realization of that tremendous command of the First Great
|
||
Source and Center.
|
||
|
||
When, through and by the ministry of all the helper hosts of the universal
|
||
scheme of survival, you are finally deposited on the receiving world of Havona,
|
||
you arrive with only one sort of perfection--perfection of purpose. Your
|
||
purpose has been thoroughly proved; your faith has been tested. You are known
|
||
to be disappointment proof. Not even the failure to discern the Universal
|
||
Father can shake the faith or seriously disturb the trust of an ascendant
|
||
mortal who has passed through the experience that all must traverse in order to
|
||
attain the perfect spheres of Havona. By the time you reach Havona, your
|
||
sincerity has become sublime. Perfection of purpose and divinity of desire,
|
||
with steadfastness of faith, have secured your entrance to the settled abodes
|
||
of eternity; your deliverance from the uncertainties of time is full and
|
||
complete; and now must you come face to face with the problems of Havona and
|
||
the immensities of Paradise, to meet which you have so long been in training in
|
||
the experiential epochs of time on the world schools of space.
|
||
|
||
Faith has won for the ascendant pilgrim a perfection of purpose which admits
|
||
the children of time to the portals of eternity. Now must the pilgrim helpers
|
||
begin the work of developing that perfection of understanding and that
|
||
technique of comprehension which are so indispensable to Paradise perfection of
|
||
personality.
|
||
|
||
Ability to comprehend is the mortal passport to Paradise. Willingness to
|
||
believe is the key to Havona. The acceptance of sonship, co-operation with the
|
||
indwelling Adjuster, is the price of evolutionary survival.

|
||
|
||
5. THE PILGRIM HELPERS
|
||
|
||
The first of the seven groups of secondary supernaphim to be encountered are
|
||
the pilgrim helpers, those beings of quick understanding and broad sympathy who
|
||
welcome the much-traveled ascenders of space to the stabilized worlds and
|
||
settled economy of the central universe. Simultaneously these high ministers
|
||
begin their work for the Paradise pilgrims of eternity, the first of whom
|
||
arrived on the pilot world of the inner Havona circuit concomitantly with the
|
||
landing of Grandfanda on the pilot world of the outer circuit. Back in those
|
||
far-distant days the pilgrims from Paradise and the pilgrims of time first met
|
||
on the receiving world of circuit number four.
|
||
|
||
These pilgrim helpers, functioning on the seventh circle of Havona worlds,
|
||
conduct their work for the ascending mortals in three major divisions: first,
|
||
the supreme understanding of the Paradise Trinity; second, the spiritual
|
||
comprehension of the Father-Son partnership; and third, the intellectual
|
||
recognition of the Infinite Spirit. Each of these phases of instruction is
|
||
divided into seven branches of twelve minor divisions of seventy subsidiary
|
||
groups; and each of these seventy subsidiary groupings of instruction is
|
||
presented in one thousand classifications. More detailed instruction is
|
||
provided on subsequent circles, but an outline of every Paradise requirement is
|
||
taught by the pilgrim helpers.
|
||
|
||
That, then, is the primary or elementary course which confronts the
|
||
faith-tested and much-traveled pilgrims of space. But long before reaching
|
||
Havona, these ascendant children of time have learned to feast upon
|
||
uncertainty, to fatten upon disappointment, to enthuse over apparent defeat, to
|
||
invigorate in the presence of difficulties, to exhibit indomitable courage in
|
||
the face of immensity, and to exercise unconquerable faith when confronted with
|
||
the challenge of the inexplicable. Long since, the battle cry of these pilgrims
|
||
became: "In liaison with God, nothing--absolutely nothing--is impossible."
|
||
|
||
There is a definite requirement of the pilgrims of time on each of the Havona
|
||
circles; and while every pilgrim continues under the tutelage of supernaphim by
|
||
nature adapted to helping that particular type of ascendant creature, the
|
||
course that must be mastered is fairly uniform for all ascenders who reach the
|
||
central universe. This course of achievement is quantitative, qualitative, and
|
||
experiential--intellectual, spiritual, and supreme.
|
||
|
||
Time is of little consequence on the Havona circles. In a limited manner it
|
||
enters into the possibilities of advancement, but achievement is the final and
|
||
supreme test. The very moment your superaphic associate deems you to be
|
||
competent to pass inward to the next circle, you will be taken before the
|
||
twelve adjutants of the seventh Circuit Spirit. Here you will be required to
|
||
pass the tests of the circle determined by the superuniverse of your origin and
|
||
by the system of your nativity. The divinity attainment of this circle takes
|
||
place on the pilot world and consists in the spiritual recognition and
|
||
realization of the Master Spirit of the ascending pilgrim's superuniverse.
|
||
|
||
When the work of the outer Havona circle is finished and the course presented
|
||
is mastered, the pilgrim helpers take their subjects to the pilot world of the
|
||
next circle and commit them to the care of the supremacy guides. The pilgrim
|
||
helpers always tarry for a season to assist in making the transfer both
|
||
pleasant and profitable.

||
6. THE SUPREMACY GUIDES
|
||
|
||
Ascenders of space are designated "spiritual graduates" when translated from
|
||
the seventh to the sixth circle and are placed under the immediate supervision
|
||
of the supremacy guides. These guides should not be confused with the Graduate
|
||
Guides--belonging to the Higher Personalities of the Infinite Spirit--who, with
|
||
their servital associates, minister on all circuits of Havona to both ascending
|
||
and descending pilgrims. The supremacy guides function only on the sixth circle
|
||
of the central universe.
|
||
|
||
It is in this circle that the ascenders achieve a new realization of Supreme
|
||
Divinity. Through their long careers in the evolutionary universes the pilgrims
|
||
of time have been experiencing a growing awareness of the reality of an
|
||
almighty overcontrol of the time-space creations. Here, on this Havona circuit,
|
||
they come near to encountering the central universe source of time-space
|
||
unity--the spiritual reality of God the Supreme.
|
||
|
||
I am somewhat at a loss to explain what takes place on this circle. No
|
||
personalized presence of Supremacy is perceptible to the ascenders. In certain
|
||
respects, new relationships with the Seventh Master Spirit compensate this
|
||
noncontactability of the Supreme Being. But regardless of our inability to
|
||
grasp the technique, each ascending creature seems to undergo a transforming
|
||
growth, a new integration of consciousness, a new spiritualization of purpose,
|
||
a new sensitivity for divinity, which can hardly be satisfactorily explained
|
||
without assuming the unrevealed activity of the Supreme Being. To those of us
|
||
who have observed these mysterious transactions, it appears as if God the
|
||
Supreme were affectionately bestowing upon his experiential children, up to the
|
||
very limits of their experiential capacities, those enhancements of
|
||
intellectual grasp, of spiritual insight, and of personality outreach which
|
||
they will so need, in all their efforts at penetrating the divinity level of
|
||
the Trinity of Supremacy, to achieve the eternal and existential Deities of
|
||
Paradise.
|
||
|
||
When the supremacy guides deem their pupils ripe for advancement, they bring
|
||
them before the commission of seventy, a mixed group serving as examiners on
|
||
the pilot world of circuit number six. After satisfying this commission as to
|
||
their comprehension of the Supreme Being and of the Trinity of Supremacy, the
|
||
pilgrims are certified for translation to the fifth circuit.
|
||
|
||
7. THE TRINITY GUIDES
|
||
|
||
Trinity guides are the tireless ministers of the fifth circle of the Havona
|
||
training of the advancing pilgrims of time and space. The spiritual graduates
|
||
are here designated "candidates for the Deity adventure" since it is on this
|
||
circle, under the direction of the Trinity guides, that the pilgrims receive
|
||
advanced instruction concerning the divine Trinity in preparation for the
|
||
attempt to achieve the personality recognition of the Infinite Spirit. And here
|
||
the ascending pilgrims discover what true study and real mental effort mean as
|
||
they begin to discern the nature of the still-more-taxing and far-more-arduous
|
||
spiritual exertion that will be required to meet the demands of the high goal
|
||
set for their achievement on the worlds of this circuit.
|
||
|
||
Most faithful and efficient are the Trinity guides; and each pilgrim receives
|
||
the undivided attention, and enjoys the whole affection, of a secondary supern-
|
||
|
||
top of page - 293
|
||
|
||
aphim belonging to this order. Never would a pilgrim of time find the first
|
||
approachable person of the Paradise Trinity were it not for the help and
|
||
assistance of these guides and the host of other spiritual beings engaged in
|
||
instructing the ascenders respecting the nature and technique of the
|
||
forthcoming Deity adventure.
|
||
|
||
After the completion of the course of training on this circuit the Trinity
|
||
guides take their pupils to its pilot world and present them before one of the
|
||
many triune commissions functioning as examiners and certifiers of candidates
|
||
for the Deity adventure. These commissions consist of one fellow of the
|
||
finaliters, one of the directors of conduct of the order of primary
|
||
supernaphim, and either a Solitary Messenger of space or a Trinitized Son of
|
||
Paradise.
|
||
|
||
When an ascendant soul actually starts for Paradise, he is accompanied only by
|
||
the transit trio: the superaphic circle associate, the Graduate Guide, and the
|
||
ever-present servital associate of the latter. These excursions from the Havona
|
||
circles to Paradise are trial trips; the ascenders are not yet of Paradise
|
||
status. They do not achieve residential status on Paradise until they have
|
||
passed through the terminal rest of time subsequent to the attainment of the
|
||
Universal Father and the final clearance of the Havona circuits. Not until
|
||
after the divine rest do they partake of the "essence of divinity" and the
|
||
"spirit of supremacy" and thus really begin to function in the circle of
|
||
eternity and in the presence of the Trinity.
|
||
|
||
The ascender's companions of the transit trio are not required to enable him to
|
||
locate the geographic presence of the spiritual luminosity of the Trinity,
|
||
rather to afford all possible assistance to a pilgrim in his difficult task of
|
||
recognizing, discerning, and comprehending the Infinite Spirit sufficiently to
|
||
constitute personality recognition. Any ascendant pilgrim on Paradise can
|
||
discern the geographic or locational presence of the Trinity, the great
|
||
majority are able to contact the intellectual reality of the Deities,
|
||
especially the Third Person, but not all can recognize or even partially
|
||
comprehend the reality of the spiritual presence of the Father and the Son.
|
||
Still more difficult is even the minimum spiritual comprehension of the
|
||
Universal Father.
|
||
|
||
Seldom does the quest for the Infinite Spirit fail of consummation, and when
|
||
their subjects have succeeded in this phase of the Deity adventure, the Trinity
|
||
guides prepare to transfer them to the ministry of the Son finders on the
|
||
fourth circle of Havona.
|
||
|
||
8. THE SON FINDERS
|
||
|
||
The fourth Havona circuit is sometimes called the "circuit of the Sons." From
|
||
the worlds of this circuit the ascending pilgrims go to Paradise to achieve an
|
||
understanding contact with the Eternal Son, while on the worlds of this circuit
|
||
the descending pilgrims achieve a new comprehension of the nature and mission
|
||
of the Creator Sons of time and space. There are seven worlds in this circuit
|
||
on which the reserve corps of the Paradise Michaels maintain special service
|
||
schools of mutual ministry to both the ascending and descending pilgrims; and
|
||
it is on these worlds of the Michael Sons that the pilgrims of time and the
|
||
pilgrims of eternity arrive at their first truly mutual understanding of one
|
||
another. In many respects the experiences of this circuit are the most
|
||
intriguing of the entire Havona sojourn.
|
||
|
||
top of page - 294
|
||
|
||
The Son finders are the superaphic ministers to the ascending mortals of the
|
||
fourth circuit. In addition to the general work of preparing their candidates
|
||
for a realization of the Trinity relationships of the Eternal Son, these Son
|
||
finders must so fully instruct their subjects that they will be wholly
|
||
successful: first, in the adequate spiritual comprehension of the Son; second,
|
||
in the satisfactory personality recognition of the Son; and third, in the
|
||
proper differentiation of the Son from the personality of the Infinite Spirit.
|
||
|
||
After the attainment of the Infinite Spirit, no more examinations are
|
||
conducted. The tests of the inner circles are the performances of the pilgrim
|
||
candidates when in the embrace of the enshroudment of the Deities. Advancement
|
||
is determined purely by the spirituality of the individual, and no one but the
|
||
Gods presumes to pass upon this possession. In the event of failure no reasons
|
||
are ever assigned, neither are the candidates themselves nor their various
|
||
tutors and guides ever chided or criticized. On Paradise, disappointment is
|
||
never regarded as defeat; postponement is never looked upon as disgrace; the
|
||
apparent failures of time are never confused with the significant delays of
|
||
eternity.
|
||
|
||
Not many pilgrims experience the delay of seeming failure in the Deity
|
||
adventure. Nearly all attain the Infinite Spirit, though occasionally a pilgrim
|
||
from superuniverse number one does not succeed on the first attempt. The
|
||
pilgrims who attain the Spirit seldom fail in finding the Son; of those who do
|
||
fail on the first adventure, almost all hail from superuniverses three and
|
||
five. The great majority of those who fail on the first adventure to attain the
|
||
Father, after finding both the Spirit and the Son, hail from superuniverse
|
||
number six, though a few from numbers two and three are likewise unsuccessful.
|
||
And all this seems clearly to indicate that there is some good and sufficient
|
||
reason for these apparent failures; in reality, simply unescapable delays.
|
||
|
||
The defeated candidates for the Deity adventure are placed under the
|
||
jurisdiction of the chiefs of assignment, a group of primary supernaphim, and
|
||
are remanded to the work of the realms of space for a period of not less than
|
||
one millennium. They never return to the superuniverse of their nativity,
|
||
always to that supercreation most propitious for their retraining in
|
||
preparation for the second Deity adventure. Following this service, on their
|
||
own motion, they return to the outer circle of Havona, are immediately escorted
|
||
to the circle of their interrupted career, and at once resume their
|
||
preparations for the Deity adventure. Never do the secondary supernaphim fail
|
||
to pilot their subjects successfully on the second attempt, and the same
|
||
superaphic ministers and other guides always attend these candidates during
|
||
this second adventure.
|
||
|
||
9. THE FATHER GUIDES
|
||
|
||
When the pilgrim soul attains the third circle of Havona, he comes under the
|
||
tutelage of the Father guides, the older, highly skilled, and most experienced
|
||
of the superaphic ministers. On the worlds of this circuit the Father guides
|
||
maintain schools of wisdom and colleges of technique wherein all the beings
|
||
inhabiting the central universe serve as teachers. Nothing is neglected which
|
||
would be of service to a creature of time in this transcendent adventure of
|
||
eternity attainment.
|
||
|
||
The attainment of the Universal Father is the passport to eternity,
|
||
notwithstanding the remaining circuits to be traversed. It is therefore a
|
||
momentous oc-
|
||
|
||
top of page - 295
|
||
|
||
casion on the pilot world of circle number three when the transit trio announce
|
||
that the last venture of time is about to ensue; that another creature of space
|
||
seeks entry to Paradise through the portals of eternity.
|
||
|
||
The test of time is almost over; the race for eternity has been all but run.
|
||
The days of uncertainty are ending; the temptation to doubt is vanishing; the
|
||
injunction to be perfect has been obeyed. From the very bottom of intelligent
|
||
existence the creature of time and material personality has ascended the
|
||
evolutionary spheres of space, thus proving the feasibility of the ascension
|
||
plan while forever demonstrating the justice and righteousness of the command
|
||
of the Universal Father to his lowly creatures of the worlds: "Be you perfect,
|
||
even as I am perfect."
|
||
|
||
Step by step, life by life, world by world, the ascendant career has been
|
||
mastered, and the goal of Deity has been attained. Survival is complete in
|
||
perfection, and perfection is replete in the supremacy of divinity. Time is
|
||
lost in eternity; space is swallowed up in worshipful identity and harmony with
|
||
the Universal Father. The broadcasts of Havona flash forth the space reports of
|
||
glory, the good news that in very truth the conscientious creatures of animal
|
||
nature and material origin have, through evolutionary ascension, become in
|
||
reality and eternally the perfected sons of God.
|
||
|
||
10. THE COUNSELORS AND ADVISERS
|
||
|
||
The superaphic counselors and advisers of the second circle are the instructors
|
||
of the children of time regarding the career of eternity. The attainment of
|
||
Paradise entails responsibilities of a new and higher order, and the sojourn on
|
||
the second circle affords ample opportunity to receive the helpful counsel of
|
||
these devoted supernaphim.
|
||
|
||
Those who are unsuccessful in the first effort at Deity attainment are advanced
|
||
from the circle of failure directly to the second circle before they are
|
||
returned to superuniverse service. Thus the counselors and advisers also serve
|
||
as the counselors and comforters of these disappointed pilgrims. They have just
|
||
encountered their greatest disappointment, in no way differing from the long
|
||
list of such experiences whereon they climbed, as on a ladder, from chaos to
|
||
glory--except in its magnitude. These are they who have drained the
|
||
experiential cup to its dregs; and I have observed that they temporarily return
|
||
to the services of the superuniverses as the highest type of loving
|
||
ministrators to the children of time and temporal disappointments.
|
||
|
||
After a long sojourn on circuit number two the subjects of disappointment are
|
||
examined by the councils of perfection sitting on the pilot world of this
|
||
circle and are certified as having passed the Havona test; and this, so far as
|
||
nonspiritual status is concerned, grants them the same standing in the
|
||
universes of time as if they had actually succeeded in the Deity adventure. The
|
||
spirit of such candidates was wholly acceptable; their failure was inherent in
|
||
some phase of the technique of approach or in some part of their experiential
|
||
background.
|
||
|
||
They are then taken by the counselors of the circle before the chiefs of
|
||
assignment on Paradise and are remanded to the service of time on the worlds of
|
||
space; and they go with joy and gladness to the tasks of former days and ages.
|
||
In another day they will return to the circle of their greatest disappointment
|
||
and attempt anew the Deity adventure.
|
||
|
||
top of page - 296
|
||
|
||
For the successful pilgrims on the second circuit the stimulus of evolutionary
|
||
uncertainty is over, but the adventure of the eternal assignment has not yet
|
||
begun; and while the sojourn on this circle is wholly pleasurable and highly
|
||
profitable, it lacks some of the anticipative enthusiasm of the former circles.
|
||
Many are the pilgrims who, at such a time, look back upon the long, long
|
||
struggle with a joyous envy, really wishing they might somehow go back to the
|
||
worlds of time and begin it all over again, just as you mortals, in approaching
|
||
advanced age, sometimes look back over the struggles of youth and early life
|
||
and truly wish you might live your lives over once again.
|
||
|
||
But the traversal of the innermost circle lies just ahead, and soon thereafter
|
||
the last transit sleep will terminate, and the new adventure of the eternal
|
||
career will begin. The counselors and advisers on the second circle begin the
|
||
preparation of their subjects for this great and final rest, the inevitable
|
||
sleep which ever intervenes between the epochal stages of the ascendant career.
|
||
|
||
When those ascendant pilgrims who have attained the Universal Father complete
|
||
the second-circle experience, their ever-attendant Graduate Guides issue the
|
||
order admitting them to the final circle. These guides personally pilot their
|
||
subjects to the inner circle and there place them in the custody of the
|
||
complements of rest, the last of those orders of secondary supernaphim assigned
|
||
to the ministry of the pilgrims of time on the world circuits of Havona.
|
||
|
||
11. THE COMPLEMENTS OF REST
|
||
|
||
Much of an ascender's time on the last circuit is devoted to a continuation of
|
||
the study of the impending problems of Paradise residence. A vast and diverse
|
||
host of beings, the majority unrevealed, are permanent and transient residents
|
||
of this inner ring of Havona worlds. And the commingling of these manifold
|
||
types provides the superaphic complements of rest with a rich situational
|
||
environment which they effectively utilize in furthering the education of the
|
||
ascending pilgrims, especially with regard to the problems of adjustment to the
|
||
many groups of beings soon to be encountered on Paradise.
|
||
|
||
Among those who dwell on this inner circuit are the creature-trinitized sons.
|
||
The primary and the secondary supernaphim are the general custodians of the
|
||
conjoint corps of these sons, including the trinitized offspring of the mortal
|
||
finaliters and similar progeny of the Paradise Citizens. Certain of these sons
|
||
are Trinity embraced and commissioned in the supergovernments, others are
|
||
variously assigned, but the great majority are being gathered together in the
|
||
conjoint corps on the perfect worlds of the inner Havona circuit. Here, under
|
||
the supervision of the supernaphim, they are being prepared for some future
|
||
work by a special and unnamed corps of high Paradise Citizens who were, prior
|
||
to the times of Grandfanda, first executive assistants to the Eternals of Days.
|
||
There are many reasons for conjecturing that these two unique groups of
|
||
trinitized beings are going to work together in the remote future, not the
|
||
least of which is their common destiny in the reserves of the Paradise Corps of
|
||
Trinitized Finaliters.
|
||
|
||
On this innermost circuit, both the ascending and the descending pilgrims
|
||
fraternize with each other and with the creature-trinitized sons. Like their
|
||
parents, these sons derive great benefits from interassociation, and it is the
|
||
special mission of the supernaphim to facilitate and to insure the
|
||
confraternity
|
||
|
||
top of page - 297
|
||
|
||
of the trinitized sons of the mortal finaliters and the trinitized sons of the
|
||
Paradise Citizens. The superaphic complements of rest are not so much concerned
|
||
with their training as with promoting their understanding association with
|
||
diverse groups.
|
||
|
||
Mortals have received the Paradise command: "Be you perfect, even as your
|
||
Paradise Father is perfect." To these trinitized sons of the conjoint corps the
|
||
supervising supernaphim never cease to proclaim: "Be you understanding of your
|
||
ascendant brethren, even as the Paradise Creator Sons know and love them."
|
||
|
||
The mortal creature must find God. The Creator Son never stops until he finds
|
||
man--the lowest will creature. Beyond doubt, the Creator Sons and their mortal
|
||
children are preparing for some future and unknown universe service. Both
|
||
traverse the gamut of the experiential universe and so are educated and trained
|
||
for their eternal mission. Throughout the universes there is occurring this
|
||
unique blending of the human and the divine, the commingling of creature and
|
||
Creator. Unthinking mortals have referred to the manifestation of divine mercy
|
||
and tenderness, especially towards the weak and in behalf of the needy, as
|
||
indicative of an anthropomorphic God. What a mistake! Rather should such
|
||
manifestations of mercy and forbearance by human beings be taken as evidence
|
||
that mortal man is indwelt by the spirit of the living God; that the creature
|
||
is, after all, divinity motivated.
|
||
|
||
Near the end of the first-circle sojourn the ascending pilgrims first meet the
|
||
instigators of rest of the primary order of supernaphim. These are the angels
|
||
of Paradise coming out to greet those who stand at the threshold of eternity
|
||
and to complete their preparation for the transition slumber of the last
|
||
resurrection. You are not really a child of Paradise until you have traversed
|
||
the inner circle and have experienced the resurrection of eternity from the
|
||
terminal sleep of time. The perfected pilgrims begin this rest, go to sleep, on
|
||
the first circle of Havona, but they awaken on the shores of Paradise. Of all
|
||
who ascend to the eternal Isle, only those who thus arrive are the children of
|
||
eternity; the others go as visitors, as guests without residential status.
|
||
|
||
And now, at the culmination of the Havona career, as you mortals go to sleep on
|
||
the pilot world of the inner circuit, you go not alone to your rest as you did
|
||
on the worlds of your origin when you closed your eyes in the natural sleep of
|
||
mortal death, nor as you did when you entered the long transit trance
|
||
preparatory for the journey to Havona. Now, as you prepare for the attainment
|
||
rest, there moves over by your side your long-time associate of the first
|
||
circle, the majestic complement of rest, who prepares to enter the rest as one
|
||
with you, as the pledge of Havona that your transition is complete, and that
|
||
you await only the final touches of perfection.
|
||
|
||
Your first transition was indeed death, the second an ideal sleep, and now the
|
||
third metamorphosis is the true rest, the relaxation of the ages.
