P.207 - §9 These beings of administrative perfection are of definite
and final numbers. Their creation is a past event; no more are being personalized.
P.207 - §10 Throughout the grand universe these Supreme Trinity
Personalities represent the administrative policies of the Paradise Trinity;
they represent the justice and are the executive judgment of the Paradise
Trinity. They form an interrelated line of administrative perfection extending
from the Paradise spheres of the Father to the headquarters worlds of
the local universes and to the capitals of their component constellations.
P.207 - §11 All Trinity-origin beings are created in Paradise perfection
in all their divine attributes. Only in the realms of experience has the
passing of time added to their equipment for cosmic service. There is
never any danger of default or risk of rebellion with Trinity-origin beings.
They are of divinity essence, and they have never been known to depart
from the divine and perfect path of personality conduct.
P.207 - §12
There are seven worlds in the innermost circuit of the Paradise satellites,
and each of these exalted worlds is presided over by a corps of ten Trinitized
Secrets of Supremacy. They are not creators, but they are supreme and
ultimate administrators. The conduct of the affairs of these seven fraternal
spheres is wholly committed to this corps of seventy supreme directors.
Though the offspring of the Trinity supervise these seven sacred spheres
nearest Paradise, this group of worlds is universally known as the personal
circuit of the Universal Father.
P.208 - §1 The Trinitized Secrets of Supremacy function in groups
of ten as co-ordinate and joint directors of their respective spheres,
but they also function individually in particular fields of responsibility.
The work of each of these special worlds is divided into seven major departments,
and one of these co-ordinate rulers presides over each such division of
specialized activities. The remaining three act as the personal representatives
of triune Deity in relation to the other seven, one representing the Father,
one the Son, and one the Spirit.
P.208 - §2 Although there is a definite class resemblance which typifies the Trinitized Secrets of Supremacy, they also disclose seven distinct group characteristics. The ten supreme directors of Divinington affairs are reflective of the personal character and nature of the Universal Father; and so it is with each of these seven spheres: Each group of ten resembles that Deity or Deity association which is characteristic of their domain. The ten directors who rule Ascendington are reflective of the combined nature of the Father, Son, and Spirit.
P.208 - §3 I can reveal very little about the work of these high
personalities on the seven sacred worlds of the Father, for they are truly
the Secrets of Supremacy. There are no arbitrary secrets associated with
the approach to the Universal Father, the Eternal Son, or the Infinite
Spirit. The Deities are an open book to all who attain divine perfection,
but all the Secrets of Supremacy can never be fully attained. Always will
we be unable fully to penetrate the realms containing the personality
secrets of Deity association with the sevenfold grouping of created beings.
P.208 - §4 Since the work of these supreme directors has to do with
the intimate and personal contact of the Deities with these seven basic
groupings of universe beings when domiciled on these seven special worlds
or while functioning throughout the grand universe, it is fitting that
these very personal relations and extraordinary contacts should be held
sacredly secret. The Paradise Creators respect the privacy and sanctity
of personality even in their lowly creatures. And this is true both of
individuals and of the various separate orders of personalities.
P.208 - §5 To beings of even high universe attainment these secret worlds ever remain a test of loyalty. It is given us fully and personally to know the eternal Gods, freely to know their characters of divinity and perfection, but it is not granted us fully to penetrate all of the personal relations of the Paradise Rulers with all of their creature beings.
2. THE ETERNALS OF DAYS - P.208
P.208 - §6 Each of the billion worlds of Havona is directed by a
Supreme Trinity Personality. These rulers are known as the Eternals of
Days, and they number exactly one billion, one for each of the Havona
spheres. They are the offspring of the Paradise Trinity, but like the
Secrets of Supremacy there are no records of their origin. Forever have
these two groups of all-wise fathers ruled their exquisite worlds of the
Paradise-Havona system, and they function without rotation or reassignment.
P.208 - §7 The Eternals of Days are visible to all will creatures
dwelling in their domains. They preside over the regular planetary conclaves.
Periodically, and by rotation, they visit the headquarters spheres of
the seven superuniverses. They are close of kin to, and are the divine
equals of, the Ancients of Days, who preside over the destinies of the
seven supergovernments. When an Eternal of Days is absent from his sphere,
his world is directed by a Trinity Teacher Son.
P.209 - §1 Except for the established orders of life, such as the
Havona natives and other living creatures of the central universe, the
resident Eternals of Days have developed their respective spheres entirely
in accordance with their own personal ideas and ideals. They visit each
other's planets, but they do not copy or imitate; they are always and
wholly original.
P.209 - §2 The architecture, natural embellishment, morontia structures, and spirit creations are exclusive and unique on each sphere. Every world is a place of everlasting beauty and is wholly unlike any other world in the central universe. And you will each spend a longer or shorter time on each of these unique and thrilling spheres on your way inward through Havona to Paradise. It is natural, on your world, to speak of Paradise as upward, but it would be more correct to refer to the divine goal of ascension as inward.
3. THE ANCIENTS OF DAYS - P.209
P.209 - §3 When mortals of time graduate from the training worlds
surrounding the headquarters of a local universe and are advanced to the
educational spheres of their superuniverse, they have progressed in spiritual
development to that point where they are able to recognize and communicate
with the high spiritual rulers and directors of these advanced realms,
including the Ancients of Days.
P.209 - §4 The Ancients of Days are all basically identical; they
disclose the combined character and unified nature of the Trinity. They
possess individuality and are in personality diverse, but they do not
differ from each other as do the Seven Master Spirits. They provide the
uniform directorship of the otherwise differing seven superuniverses,
each of which is a distinct, segregated, and unique creation. The Seven
Master Spirits are unlike in nature and attributes, but the Ancients of
Days, the personal rulers of the superuniverses, are all uniform and superperfect
offspring of the Paradise Trinity.
P.209 - §5 The Seven Master Spirits on high determine the nature of their respective superuniverses, but the Ancients of Days dictate the administration of these same superuniverses. They superimpose administrative uniformity on creative diversity and insure the harmony of the whole in the face of the underlying creational differences of the seven segmental groupings of the grand universe.
P.209 - §6 The Ancients of Days were all trinitized at the same time. They represent the beginning of the personality records of the universe of universes, hence their name--Ancients of Days. When you reach Paradise and search the written records of the beginning of things, you will find that the first entry appearing in the personality section is the recital of the trinitization of these twenty-one Ancients of Days.
P.209 - §7 These high beings always govern in groups of three. There
are many phases of activity in which they work as individuals, still others
in which any two can function, but in the higher spheres of their administration
they must act jointly. They never personally leave their residential worlds,
but then they do not have to, for these worlds are the superuniverse focal
points of the far-flung reflectivity system.
P.209 - §8 The personal abodes of each trio of the Ancients of Days
are located at the point of spiritual polarity on their headquarters sphere.
Such a sphere is divided into seventy administrative sectors and has seventy
divisional capitals in which the Ancients of Days reside from time to
time.
P.210 - §1 In power, scope of authority, and extent of jurisdiction the Ancients of Days are the most powerful and mighty of any of the direct rulers of the time-space creations. In all the vast universe of universes they alone are invested with the high powers of final executive judgment concerning the eternal extinction of will creatures. And all three Ancients of Days must participate in the final decrees of the supreme tribunal of a superuniverse.
P.210 - §2 Aside from the Deities and their Paradise associates,
the Ancients of Days are the most perfect, most versatile, and the most
divinely endowed rulers in all time-space existence. Apparently they are
the supreme rulers of the superuniverses; but they have not experientially
earned this right to rule and are therefore destined sometime to be superseded
by the Supreme Being, an experiential sovereign, whose vicegerents they
will undoubtedly become.
P.210 - §3 The Supreme Being is achieving the sovereignty of the seven superuniverses by experiential service just as a Creator Son experientially earns the sovereignty of his local universe. But during the present age of the unfinished evolution of the Supreme, the Ancients of Days provide the co-ordinated and perfect administrative overcontrol of the evolving universes of time and space. And the wisdom of originality and the initiative of individuality characterize all the decrees and rulings of the Ancients of Days.
4. THE PERFECTIONS OF DAYS - P.210
P.210 - §4 There are just two hundred and ten Perfections of Days,
and they preside over the governments of the ten major sectors of each
superuniverse. They were trinitized for the special work of assisting
the superuniverse directors, and they rule as the immediate and personal
vicegerents of the Ancients of Days.
P.210 - §5 Three Perfections of Days are assigned to each major sector capital, but unlike the Ancients of Days, it is not necessary that all three be present at all times. From time to time one of this trio may absent himself to confer in person with the Ancients of Days concerning the welfare of his realm.
P.210 - §6 These triune rulers of the major sectors are peculiarly perfect in the mastery of administrative details, hence their name--Perfections of Days. In recording the names of these beings of the spiritual world, we are confronted with the problem of translating into your tongue, and very often it is exceedingly difficult to render a satisfactory translation. We dislike to use arbitrary designations which would be meaningless to you; hence we often find it difficult to choose a suitable name, one which will be clear to you and at the same time be somewhat representative of the original.
P.210 - §7 The Perfections of Days have a moderate-sized corps of
Divine Counselors, Perfectors of Wisdom, and Universal Censors attached
to their governments. They have still larger numbers of Mighty Messengers,
Those High in Authority, and Those without Name and Number. But much of
the routine work of major sector affairs is carried on by the Celestial
Guardians and the High Son Assistants. These two groups are drawn from
among the trinitized offspring of either Paradise-Havona personalities
or glorified mortal finaliters. Certain of these two orders of creature-trinitized
beings are retrinitized by the Paradise Deities and then are dispatched
to assist in the administration of the superuniverse governments.
P.211 - §1 Most of the Celestial Guardians and the High Son Assistants
are assigned to the service of the major and the minor sectors, but the
Trinitized Custodians (Trinity-embraced seraphim and midwayers) are the
officers of the courts of all three divisions, functioning in the tribunals
of the Ancients of Days, the Perfections of Days, and the Recents of Days.
The Trinitized Ambassadors (Trinity-embraced ascendant mortals of Son-
or Spirit-fused nature) may be encountered anywhere in a superuniverse,
but the majority are in the service of the minor sectors.
P.211 - §2 Before the times of the full unfolding of the governmental scheme of the seven superuniverses, practically all administrators of the various divisions of these governments, excepting the Ancients of Days, served apprenticeships of varying duration under the Eternals of Days on the various worlds of the perfect Havona universe. The later trinitized beings likewise passed through a season of training under the Eternals of Days before they were attached to the service of the Ancients of Days, the Perfections of Days, and the Recents of Days. They are all seasoned, tried, and experienced administrators.
P.211 - §3 You will early see the Perfections of Days when you advance
to the headquarters of Splandon after your sojourn on the worlds of your
minor sector, for these exalted rulers are closely associated with the
seventy major sector worlds of higher training for the ascendant creatures
of time. The Perfections of Days, in person, administer the group pledges
to the ascending graduates of the major sector schools.
P.211 - §4 The work of the pilgrims of time on the worlds surrounding
a major sector headquarters is chiefly of an intellectual nature in contrast
with the more physical and material character of the training on the seven
educational spheres of a minor sector and with the spiritual undertakings
on the four hundred ninety university worlds of a superuniverse headquarters.
P.211 - §5 Although you are entered only upon the registry of the major sector of Splandon, which embraces the local universe of your origin, you will have to pass through every one of the ten major divisions of our superuniverse. You will see all thirty of the Orvonton Perfections of Days before you reach Uversa.
5. THE RECENTS OF DAYS - P.211
P.211 - §6 The Recents of Days are the youngest of the supreme directors
of the superuniverses; in groups of three they preside over the affairs
of the minor sectors. In nature they are co-ordinate with the Perfections
of Days, but in administrative authority they are subordinate. There are
just twenty-one thousand of these personally glorious and divinely efficient
Trinity personalities. They were created simultaneously, and together
they passed through their Havona training under the Eternals of Days.
P.211 - §7 The Recents of Days have a corps of associates and assistants
similar to that of the Perfections of Days. In addition they have assigned
to them enormous numbers of the various subordinate orders of celestial
beings. In the administration of the minor sectors they utilize large
numbers of the resident ascending mortals, the personnel of the various
courtesy colonies, and the various groups originating in the Infinite
Spirit.
P.211 - §8 The governments of the minor sectors are very largely,
though not exclusively, concerned with the great physical problems of
the superuniverses. The
P.212 - §0 minor sector spheres are the headquarters of the Master
Physical Controllers. On these worlds ascending mortals carry on studies
and experiments having to do with an examination of the activities of
the third order of the Supreme Power Centers and of all seven orders of
the Master Physical Controllers.
P.212 - §1 Since the regime of a minor sector is so extensively
concerned with physical problems, its three Recents of Days are seldom
together on the capital sphere. Most of the time one is away in conference
with the Perfections of Days of the supervising major sector or absent
while representing the Ancients of Days at the Paradise conclaves of the
high Trinity-origin beings. They alternate with the Perfections of Days
in representing the Ancients of Days at the supreme councils on Paradise.
Meanwhile, another Recent of Days may be away on a tour of inspection
of the headquarters worlds of the local universes belonging to his jurisdiction.
But at least one of these rulers always remains on duty at the headquarters
of a minor sector.
P.212 - §2 You will all sometime know the three Recents of Days in charge of Ensa, your minor sector, since you must pass through their hands on your way inward to the training worlds of the major sectors. In ascending to Uversa, you will pass through only one group of minor sector training spheres.
6. THE UNIONS OF DAYS - P.212
P.212 - §3 The Trinity personalities of the order of "Days"
do not function in an administrative capacity below the level of the superuniverse
governments. In the evolving local universes they act only as counselors
and advisers. The Unions of Days are a group of liaison personalities
accredited by the Paradise Trinity to the dual rulers of the local universes.
Each organized and inhabited local universe has assigned to it one of
these Paradise counselors, who acts as the representative of the Trinity,
and in some respects, of the Universal Father, to the local creation.
P.212 - §4 There are seven hundred thousand of these beings in existence,
though they have not all been commissioned. The reserve corps of the Unions
of Days functions on Paradise as the Supreme Council of Universe Adjustments.
P.212 - §5 In a special manner these Trinity observers co-ordinate
the administrative activities of all branches of the universal government,
from those of the local universes up through the sector governments to
those of the superuniverse, hence their name--Unions of Days. They make
a threefold report to their superiors: They report pertinent data of a
physical and semi-intellectual nature to the Recents of Days of their
minor sector; they report intellectual and quasi-spiritual happenings
to the Perfections of Days of their major sector; they report spiritual
and semiparadisiacal matters to the Ancients of Days at the capital of
their superuniverse.
P.212 - §6 Since they are Trinity-origin beings, all of the Paradise circuits are available to them for intercommunication, and thus are they always in touch with each other and with all other required personalities up to the supreme councils of Paradise.
P.212 - §7 A Union of Days is not organically connected with the
government of the local universe of his assignment. Aside from his duties
as an observer, he acts only at the request of the local authorities.
He is an ex officio member of all primary councils and all important conclaves
of the local creation, but he does not participate in the technical consideration
of administrative problems.
P.213 - §1 When a local universe is settled in light and life, its
glorified beings associate freely with the Union of Days, who then functions
in an enlarged capacity in such a realm of evolutionary perfection. But
he is still primarily a Trinity ambassador and Paradise counselor.
P.213 - §2 A local universe is directly ruled by a divine Son of dual Deity origin, but he has constantly by his side a Paradise brother, a Trinity-origin personality. In the event of the temporary absence of a Creator Son from the headquarters of his local universe, the acting rulers are largely guided in their major decisions by the counsel of their Union of Days.
7. THE FAITHFULS OF DAYS - P.213
P.213 - §3 These high Trinity-origin personalities are the Paradise
advisers to the rulers of the one hundred constellations in each local
universe. There are seventy million Faithfuls of Days, and like the Unions
of Days, not all are in service. Their Paradise reserve corps is the Advisory
Commission of Interuniverse Ethics and Self-government. Faithfuls of Days
rotate in service in accordance with the rulings of the supreme council
of their reserve corps.
P.213 - §4 All that a Union of Days is to a Creator Son of a local
universe, the Faithfuls of Days are to the Vorondadek Sons who rule the
constellations of that local creation. They are supremely devoted and
divinely faithful to the welfare of their constellations of assignment,
hence the name--Faithfuls of Days. They act only as counselors; never
do they participate in administrative activities except upon the invitation
of the constellation authorities. Neither are they directly concerned
in the educational ministry to the pilgrims of ascension on the architectural
training spheres surrounding a constellation headquarters. All such undertakings
are under the supervision of the Vorondadek Sons.
P.213 - §5 All Faithfuls of Days functioning in the constellations
of a local universe are under the jurisdiction of, and report directly
to, the Union of Days. They do not have a far-flung system of intercommunication,
being ordinarily self-limited to an interassociation within the limits
of a local universe. Any Faithful of Days on duty in Nebadon can and does
communicate with all others of his order on duty in this local universe.
P.213 - §6 Like the Union of Days on a universe headquarters, the
Faithfuls of Days maintain their personal residences on the constellation
capitals separate from those of the administrative directors of such realms.
Their abodes are indeed modest in comparison with the homes of the Vorondadek
rulers of the constellations.
P.213 - §7 The Faithfuls of Days are the last link in the long administrative-advisory
chain which reaches from the sacred spheres of the Universal Father near
the center of all things to the primary divisions of the local universes.
The Trinity-origin regime stops with the constellations; no such Paradise
advisers are permanently situated on their component systems or on the
inhabited worlds. These latter administrative units are wholly under the
jurisdiction of beings native to the local universes.
P.213 - §8 [Presented by a Divine Counselor of Uversa.]
