PAPER 22
THE TRINITIZED SONS OF GOD
22:0.1 THERE are three groups of beings who are
called Sons of God. In addition to descending and ascending orders of sonship
there is a third group known as the Trinitized Sons of God. The trinitized
order of sonship is subdivided into three primary divisions in accordance with
the origins of its many types of personalities, revealed and unrevealed. These
primary divisions are:
1. Deity-trinitized Sons.
2. Trinity-embraced Sons.
3. Creature-trinitized Sons.
22:0.2 Irrespective of origin all Trinitized Sons of
God have in common the experience of trinitization, either as a part of their
origin or as an experience of Trinity embrace subsequently attained. The
Deity-trinitized Sons are unrevealed in these narratives; therefore will this
presentation be confined to a portrayal of the remaining two groups, more
particularly the Trinity-embraced sons of God.
1. THE TRINITY-EMBRACED SONS
22:1.1 All Trinity-embraced sons are originally of
dual or single origin, but subsequent to the Trinity embrace they are forever
devoted to Trinity service and assignment. This corps, as revealed and as
organized for superuniverse service, embraces seven orders of
personalities:
1. Mighty Messengers.
2. Those High in Authority.
3. Those without Name and Number.
4. Trinitized Custodians.
5. Trinitized Ambassadors.
6. Celestial Guardians.
7. High Son Assistants.
22:1.2 These seven groups of personalities are
further classified, according to origin, nature, and function, into three
major divisions: the Trinitized Sons of Attainment, the Trinitized Sons of
Selection, and the Trinitized Sons of Perfection.
22:1.3 The Trinitized Sons of Attainment --
the Mighty Messengers, Those High in Authority, and Those without Name and
Number -- are all Adjuster-fused ascendant mortals who have attained Paradise
and the Corps of the Finality. But they are not finaliters; when they have
been Trinity embraced, their names are removed from the finaliter roll call.
The new sons of this order pass through specific courses of training, for
comparatively short periods, on the circuit headquarters planets of the Havona
circuits under the direction of the Eternals of Days. Thereafter they are
assigned to the services of the Ancients of Days in the seven superuniverses.
22:1.4 The Trinitized Sons of Selection
embrace the Trinitized Custodians and the Trinitized Ambassadors. They are
recruited from certain of the evolutionary seraphim and translated midway
creatures who have traversed Havona and have attained Paradise, as well as
from certain of the Spirit-fused and the Son-fused mortals who have likewise
ascended to the central Isle of Light and Life. Subsequent to their embrace by
the Paradise Trinity and after a brief training in Havona, the Trinitized Sons
of Selection are assigned to the courts of the Ancients of Days.
22:1.5 The Trinitized Sons of Perfection. The
Celestial Guardians and their co-ordinates, the High Son Assistants, comprise
a unique group of twice-trinitized personalities. They are the
creature-trinitized sons of Paradise-Havona personalities or of perfected
ascendant mortals who have long distinguished themselves in the Corps of the
Finality. Some of these creature-trinitized sons, after service with the
Supreme Executives of the Seven Master Spirits and after serving under the
Trinity Teacher Sons, are retrinitized (embraced) by the Paradise Trinity and
then commissioned to the courts of the Ancients of Days as Celestial Guardians
and as High Son Assistants. Trinitized Sons of Perfection are assigned
directly to the superuniverse service without further training.
22:1.6 Our Trinity-origin associates -- Perfectors
of Wisdom, Divine Counselors, and Universal Censors -- are of stationary
numbers, but the Trinity-embraced sons are constantly increasing. All seven
orders of Trinity-embraced sons are commissioned as members of one of the
seven superuniverse governments, and the number in the service of each
superuniverse is exactly the same; not one has ever been lost.
Trinity-embraced beings have never gone astray; they may stumble temporarily,
but not one has ever been adjudged in contempt of the superuniverse
governments. The Sons of Attainment and the Sons of Selection have never
faltered in the service of Orvonton, but the Trinitized Sons of Perfection
have sometimes erred in judgment and thereby caused transient
confusion.
22:1.7 Under the direction of the Ancients of Days
all seven orders function very much as self-governing groups. Their scope of
service is far-flung; Trinitized Sons of Perfection do not leave the
superuniverse of assignment, but their trinitized associates range the grand
universe, journeying from the evolutionary worlds of time and space to the
eternal Isle of Paradise. They may function in any of the superuniverses, but
they do so always as members of the supergovernment of original
designation.
22:1.8 Apparently the Trinity-embraced sons have
been permanently assigned to the service of the seven superuniverses;
certainly this assignment is for the duration of the present universe age, but
we have never been informed that it is to be eternal.
2. THE MIGHTY MESSENGERS
22:2.1 Mighty Messengers belong to the ascendant
group of the Trinitized Sons. They are a class of perfected mortals who have
been rebellion tested or otherwise equally proved as to their personal
loyalty; all have passed through some definite test of universe allegiance. At
some time in their Paradise ascent they stood firm and loyal in the face of
the disloyalty of their superiors, and some did actively and loyally function
in the places of such unfaithful leaders.
22:2.2 With such personal records of fidelity and
devotion, these ascending mortals pass on through Havona with the stream of
the pilgrims of time, attain Paradise, graduate therefrom, and are mustered
into the Corps of the Finality. Thereupon they are trinitized in the secret
embrace of the Paradise Trinity and subsequently are commissioned to become
associated with the Ancients of Days in the administration of the governments
of the seven superuniverses.
22:2.3 Every ascendant mortal of insurrectionary
experience who functions loyally in the face of rebellion is eventually
destined to become a Mighty Messenger of the superuniverse service. Likewise
is any ascendant creature who effectively prevents such upheavals of error,
evil, or sin; for action designed to prevent rebellion or to effect higher
types of loyalty in a universe crisis is regarded as of even greater value
than loyalty in the face of actual rebellion.
22:2.4 The senior Mighty Messengers were chosen from
those ascendant mortals of time and space who were among the earlier Paradise
arrivals, many having traversed Havona in the times of Grandfanda. But the
first trinitizing of Mighty Messengers was not effected until the candidate
corps contained representatives from each of the seven superuniverses. And the
last group of this order to qualify on Paradise embraced ascendant pilgrims
from the local universe of Nebadon.
22:2.5 Mighty Messengers are embraced by the
Paradise Trinity in classes of seven hundred thousand, one hundred thousand
for assignment to each superuniverse. Almost one trillion Mighty Messengers
are commissioned on Uversa, and there is every reason to believe that the
number serving in each of the seven superuniverses is exactly the same.
22:2.6 I am a Mighty Messenger, and it may interest
Urantians to know that the companion and associate of my mortal experience was
also triumphant in the great test, and that, though we were many times and for
long periods separated in the agelong inward ascent to Havona, we were
embraced in the same seven-hundred-thousand group, and that we spent our time
passing through Vicegerington in close and loving association. We were finally
commissioned and together assigned to Uversa of Orvonton, and we are often
dispatched in company for the execution of assignments requiring the services
of two Messengers.
22:2.7 Mighty Messengers, in common with all
Trinity-embraced sons, are assigned to all phases of superuniverse activities.
They maintain constant connection with their headquarters through the
superuniverse reflectivity service. Mighty Messengers serve in all sectors of
a superuniverse and frequently execute missions to the local universes and
even to the individual worlds, as I do on this occasion.
22:2.8 In the superuniverse courts, Mighty
Messengers act as defenders of both individuals and planets when they come up
for adjudication; they also assist the Perfections of Days in the direction of
the affairs of the major sectors. As a group, their chief assignment is that
of superuniverse observers. They are stationed on the various headquarters
worlds and on individual planets of importance as the official observers of
the Ancients of Days. When so assigned, they also serve as advisers to the
authorities directing the affairs of the spheres of their sojourn. The
Messengers take active part in all phases of the ascendant scheme of mortal
progression. With their associates of mortal origin they keep the
supergovernments in close and personal touch with the status and progression
of the plans of the descending Sons of God.
22:2.9 Mighty Messengers are fully conscious of
their entire ascendant careers, and that is why they are such useful and
sympathetic ministers, understanding messengers, for service on any world of
space and to any creature of time. As soon as you are delivered from the
flesh, you will communicate freely and understandingly with us since we spring
from all the races on all the evolutionary worlds of space, that is, from
those mortal races that are indwelt by, and subsequently fused with, Thought
Adjusters.
3. THOSE HIGH IN AUTHORITY
22:3.1 Those High in Authority, the second group of
the Trinitized Sons of Attainment, are all Adjuster-fused beings of mortal
origin. These are the perfected mortals who have exhibited superior
administrative ability and have shown extraordinary executive genius
throughout their long ascending careers. They are the cream of governing
ability derived from the surviving mortals of space.
22:3.2 Seventy thousand of Those High in Authority
are trinitized at each Trinity liaison. Though the local universe of Nebadon
is a comparatively young creation, it has representatives among a recently
trinitized class of this order. There are now commissioned in Orvonton more
than ten billion of these skillful administrators. Like all separate orders of
celestial beings, they maintain their own headquarters on Uversa, and like the
other Trinity-embraced sons, their reserves on Uversa act as the central
directing body of their order in Orvonton.
22:3.3 Those High in Authority are administrators
without limitation. They are the everywhere-present and always-efficient
executives of the Ancients of Days. They serve on any sphere, on any inhabited
world, and in any phase of activity in any of the seven
superuniverses.
22:3.4 Having superb administrative wisdom and
unusual executive skill, these brilliant beings assume to present the cause of
justice in behalf of the superuniverse tribunals; they foster the execution of
justice and the rectification of misadaptations in the evolutionary universes.
Therefore, if you should ever be cited for errors of judgment while you are
ascending the worlds and spheres of your ordained cosmic progression, it is
hardly likely that you would suffer injustice since your prosecutors would be
onetime ascendant creatures who are personally familiar with every step of the
career you have traversed and are traversing.
4. THOSE WITHOUT NAME AND NUMBER
22:4.1 Those without Name and Number constitute the
third and last group of the Trinitized Sons of Attainment; they are the
ascendant souls who have developed the ability to worship beyond the skill of
all the sons and daughters of the evolutionary races from the worlds of time
and space. They have acquired a spiritual concept of the eternal purpose of
the Universal Father which comparatively transcends the comprehension of the
evolutionary creatures of name or number; therefore are they denominated Those
without Name and Number. More strictly translated, their name would be "Those above Name and Number."
22:4.2 This order of sons is embraced by the
Paradise Trinity in groups of seven thousand. There are of record on Uversa
over one hundred million of these sons commissioned in Orvonton.
22:4.3 Since Those without Name and Number are the
superior spiritual minds of the survival races, they are especially qualified
to sit in judgment and to render opinions when a spiritual viewpoint is
desirable, and when experience in the ascendant career is essential to an
adequate comprehension of the questions involved in the problem to be
adjudicated. They are the supreme jurors of Orvonton. A maladministered jury
system may be more or less of a travesty of justice on some worlds, but on
Uversa and its extension tribunals we employ the highest type of evolved
spiritual mentality as juror-judges. Adjudication is the highest function of
any government, and those who are intrusted with verdict rendering should be
chosen from the highest and most noble types of the most experienced and
understanding individuals.
22:4.4 The selection of candidates for the
trinitization classes of Mighty Messengers, Those High in Authority, and Those
without Name and Number is inherent and automatic. The selective techniques of
Paradise are not in any sense arbitrary. Personal experience and spiritual
values determine the personnel of the Trinitized Sons of Attainment. Such
beings are equal in authority and uniform in administrative status, but they
all possess individuality and diverse characters; they are not standardized
beings. All are characteristically different, depending on the differentials
of their ascendant careers.
22:4.5 In addition to these experiential
qualifications, the Trinitized Sons of Attainment have been trinitized in the
divine embrace of the Paradise Deities. Consequently they function as the
co-ordinate associates of the Stationary Sons of the Trinity, for the Trinity
embrace does seem to precipitate out of the stream of future time many of the
unrealized potentials of creature beings. But this is true concerning only
that which pertains to the present universe age.
22:4.6 This group of sons is chiefly, but not
wholly, concerned with the services of the ascendant career of the time-space
mortals. If the viewpoint of a mortal creature is ever in doubt, the question
is settled by appeal to an ascendant commission consisting of a Mighty
Messenger, One High in Authority, and One without Name and Number.
22:4.7 You mortals who read this message may
yourselves ascend to Paradise, attain the Trinity embrace, and in remote
future ages be attached to the service of the Ancients of Days in one of the
seven superuniverses, and sometime be assigned to enlarge the revelation of
truth to some evolving inhabited planet, even as I am now functioning on
Urantia.
5. THE TRINITIZED CUSTODIANS
22:5.1 The Trinitized Custodians are Trinitized Sons
of Selection. Not only do your races and other mortals of survival value
traverse Havona, attain Paradise, and sometimes find themselves destined to
superuniverse service with the Stationary Sons of the Trinity, but your
faithful seraphic guardians and your equally faithful midway associates may
also become candidates for the same Trinity recognition and superb personality
destiny.
22:5.2 Trinitized Custodians are ascendant seraphim
and translated midway creatures who have passed through Havona and have
attained Paradise and the Corps of the Finality. Subsequently they were
embraced by the Paradise Trinity and were assigned to the service of the
Ancients of Days.
22:5.3 The candidates for the Trinity embrace from
among the ascendant seraphim are accorded this recognition because of their
valiant co-operation with some ascendant mortal who attained the Corps of the
Finality and was subsequently trinitized. My own seraphic guardian of the
mortal career went through with me, was later trinitized, and now is attached
to the Uversa government as a Trinitized Custodian.
22:5.4 And so with the midway creatures; many are
translated and achieve Paradise and, along with the seraphim and for the same
reasons, are Trinity embraced and commissioned as Custodians in the
superuniverses.
22:5.5 The Trinitized Custodians are embraced by the
Paradise Trinity in groups of seventy thousand, and one seventh of each group
is assigned to a superuniverse. There are now in the service of Orvonton
slightly over ten million of these trusted and high Custodians. They serve on
Uversa and on the major and minor headquarters spheres. In their labors they
are assisted by a corps of several billion seconaphim and other able
superuniverse personalities.
22:5.6 The Trinitized Custodians start out their
careers as custodians, and they continue as such in the affairs of the
supergovernments. In a way, they are officers of their superuniverse
governments, but they do not deal with individuals, as do the Celestial
Guardians. The Trinitized Custodians administer group affairs and foster
collective projects. They are the custodians of records, plans, and
institutions; they act as the trustees of undertakings, personality groups,
ascendant projects, morontia plans, universe projections, and innumerable
other enterprises.
6. THE TRINITIZED AMBASSADORS
22:6.1 Trinitized Ambassadors are the second order
of the Trinitized Sons of Selection and like their associates, the Custodians,
are recruited from two types of ascendant creatures. Not all ascending mortals
are Adjuster or Father fused; some are Spirit fused, some are Son fused.
Certain of these Spirit- and Son-fused mortals reach Havona and attain
Paradise. From among these Paradise ascenders, candidates are selected for the
Trinity embrace, and from time to time they are trinitized in classes of seven
thousand. They are then commissioned in the superuniverses as Trinitized
Ambassadors of the Ancients of Days. Almost one-half billion are registered on
Uversa.
22:6.2 Trinitized Ambassadors are selected for the
Trinity embrace upon the advices of their Havona teachers. They represent the
superior minds of their respective groups and are, therefore, best qualified
to assist the superuniverse rulers in understanding and in administering the
interests of those worlds from which the Spirit-fused mortals hail. The
Son-fused Ambassadors are of great assistance in our dealings with problems
involving the Son-fused order of personality.
22:6.3 Trinitized Ambassadors are the emissaries of
the Ancients of Days for any and all purposes, to any and all worlds or
universes within the superuniverse of their assignment. They render particular
and important services on the headquarters of the minor sectors, and they
perform the numberless miscellaneous assignments of a superuniverse. They are
the emergency or reserve corps of the Trinitized Sons of the supergovernments,
and they are therefore available for a great range of duties. They engage in
thousands upon thousands of undertakings in superuniverse affairs which it is
impossible to portray to human minds since there is nothing transpiring on
Urantia that is in any way analogous to these activities.
7. TECHNIQUE OF TRINITIZATION
22:7.1 I cannot fully unfold to the material mind
the experience of the supreme creative performance of perfect and perfected
spiritual beings -- the act of trinitization. The techniques of trinitization
are among the secrets of Vicegerington and Solitarington and are revealable
to, and understandable by, none save those who have passed through these
unique experiences. Therefore is it beyond the possibility of any being
successfully to portray to the human mind the nature and purport of this
extraordinary transaction.
22:7.2 Aside from the Deities, only Paradise-Havona
personalities and certain members of each of the finaliter corps engage in
trinitization. Under specialized conditions of Paradise perfection, these
superb beings may embark upon the unique adventure of concept-identity, and
they are many times successful in the production of a new being, a
creature-trinitized son.
22:7.3 The glorified creatures who engage in such
adventures of trinitization may participate in only one such experience,
whereas with the Paradise Deities there seems to be no limit to the continued
enactment of trinitization episodes. Deity seems to be limited in just one
respect: There can be only one Original and Infinite Spirit, only one infinite
executive of the united will of the Father-Son.
22:7.4 The ascendant Adjuster-fused mortal
finaliters who have attained certain levels of Paradise culture and spiritual
development are among those who can essay to trinitize a creature being.
Mortal-finaliter companies, when stationed on Paradise, are granted a recess
every millennium of Havona time. There are seven different ways such
finaliters may elect to spend this duty-free period, and one of these is, in
association with some fellow finaliter or some Paradise-Havona personality, to
attempt the enactment of creature trinitization.
22:7.5 If two mortal finaliters, on going before the
Architects of the Master Universe, demonstrate that they have independently
chosen an identical concept for trinitization, the Architects are empowered,
on their own discretion, to promulgate mandates permitting these glorified
mortal ascenders to extend their recess and to remove themselves for a time to
the trinitizing sector of the Paradise Citizens. At the end of this assigned
retreat, if they report that they have singly and jointly elected to make the
paradisiacal effort to spiritualize, idealize, and actualize a selected and
original concept which has not theretofore been trinitized, then does Master
Spirit Number Seven issue orders authorizing such an extraordinary
undertaking.
22:7.6 Unbelievably long periods of time are
sometimes consumed in these adventures; an age seems to pass before these
faithful and determined onetime mortals -- and sometimes Paradise-Havona
personalities -- finally achieve their goal, really succeed in bringing their
chosen concept of universal truth into actual being. And not always do these
devoted couples meet with success; many times they fail, and that through no
discoverable error on their part. Candidates for trinitization who thus fail
are admitted to a special group of finaliters who are designated as beings who
have made the supreme effort and sustained the supreme disappointment. When
the Paradise Deities unite to trinitize, they always succeed, but not so with
a homogeneous pair of creatures, the attempted union of two members of the
same order of being.
22:7.7 When a new and original being is trinitized
by the Gods, the divine parents are in deity potential unchanged; but when
exalted creature beings enact such a creative episode, one of the contracting
and participating individuals undergoes a unique personality modification. The
two ancestors of a creature-trinitized son become in a certain sense
spiritually as one. We believe that this status of bi-unification of certain
spiritual phases of personality will probably prevail until such time as the
Supreme Being shall have attained full and completed manifestation of
personality in the grand universe.
22:7.8 Simultaneously with the appearance of a new
creature-trinitized son, there occurs this functional spiritual union of the
two ancestors; the two trinitizing parents become one on the ultimate
functional level. No created being in the universe can fully explain this
amazing phenomenon; it is a near-divine experience. When the Father and the
Son united to eternalize the Infinite Spirit, upon the accomplishment of their
purpose they immediately became as one and ever since have been one. And while
the trinitization union of two creatures is on the order of the infinite scope
of the perfect Deity union of the Universal Father and the Eternal Son, the
repercussions of creature trinitization are not eternal in nature; they will
terminate upon the completed factualization of the experiential
Deities.
22:7.9 While these parents of creature-trinitized
sons become as one in their universe assignments, they continue to be reckoned
as two personalities in the make-up and roll calls of the Corps of the
Finality and of the Architects of the Master Universe. During the current
universe age, all trinitization-united parents are inseparable in assignment
and function; where one goes the other goes, what one does the other does. If
parental bi-unification involves a mortal (or other) finaliter and a
Paradise-Havona personality, the united parental beings function neither with
the Paradisers, Havoners, nor finaliters. Such mixed unions forgather in a
special corps made up of similar beings. And in all trinitization unions,
mixed or otherwise, the parental beings are conscious of, and can communicate
with, each other, and they can perform duties that neither could have
previously discharged.
22:7.10 The Seven Master Spirits have authority to
sanction the trinitizing union of finaliters and Paradise-Havona
personalities, and such mixed liaisons are always successful. The resultant
magnificent creature-trinitized sons are representative of concepts unsuited
to the comprehension of either the eternal creatures of Paradise or the time
creatures of space; hence they become the wards of the Architects of the
Master Universe. These trinitized sons of destiny embody ideas, ideals, and
experience which apparently pertain to a future universe age and are
therefore of no immediate practical value to either the super- or central
universe administrations. These unique sons of the children of time and the
citizens of eternity are all held in reserve on Vicegerington, where they are
engaged in the study of the concepts of time and the realities of eternity in
a special sector of the sphere occupied by the secret colleges of the corps of
the Creator Sons.
22:7.11 The Supreme Being is the unification of
three phases of Deity reality: God the Supreme, the spiritual unification of
certain finite aspects of the Paradise Trinity; the Almighty Supreme, the
power unification of the grand universe Creators; and the Supreme Mind, the
individual contribution of the Third Source and Center and his co-ordinates to
the reality of the Supreme Being. In their trinitization adventures the superb
creatures of the central universe and Paradise are engaged in a threefold
exploration of the Deity of the Supreme which results in the production of
three orders of creature-trinitized sons:
22:7.12 1. Ascender-trinitized Sons. In their
creative efforts the finaliters are attempting to trinitize certain conceptual
realities of the Almighty Supreme which they have experientially acquired in
their ascension through time and space to Paradise.
22:7.13 2. Paradise-Havona-trinitized Sons.
The creative efforts of the Paradise Citizens and the Havoners result in the
trinitization of certain high spiritual aspects of the Supreme Being which
they have experientially acquired on a supersupreme background bordering on
the Ultimate and the Eternal.
22:7.14 3. Trinitized Sons of Destiny. But
when a finaliter and a Paradise-Havoner together trinitize a new creature,
this conjoint effort repercusses in certain phases of the Supreme-Ultimate
Mind. The resulting creature-trinitized sons are supercreational; they
represent actualities of Supreme-Ultimate Deity which have not been otherwise
experientially attained, and which, therefore, automatically fall within the
province of the Architects of the Master Universe, custodians of those things
which transcend the creational limits of the present universe age. The
trinitized sons of destiny embody certain aspects of the unrevealed master
universe function of the Supreme-Ultimate. We do not know a great deal about
these conjoint children of time and eternity, but we know much more than we
are permitted to reveal.
8. THE CREATURE-TRINITIZED SONS
22:8.1 In addition to the creature-trinitized sons
considered in this narrative, there are numerous unrevealed orders of
creature-trinitized beings -- the diverse progeny of the multiple liaisons of
seven finaliter corps and Paradise-Havona personalities. But all these
creature-trinitized beings, revealed and unrevealed, are endowed with
personality by the Universal Father.
22:8.2 When new ascender-trinitized and
Paradise-Havona-trinitized sons are young and untrained, they are usually
dispatched for long periods of service on the seven Paradise spheres of the
Infinite Spirit, where they serve under the tutelage of the Seven Supreme
Executives. Subsequently they may be adopted for further training in the local
universes by the Trinity Teacher Sons.
22:8.3 These adopted sons of high and glorified
creature origin are the apprentices, student helpers, of the Teacher Sons, and
as regards classification they are often temporarily numbered with these Sons.
They may and do execute many noble assignments in self-denial in behalf of
their chosen realms of service.
22:8.4 The Teacher Sons in the local universes may
nominate their creature-trinitized wards for embrace by the Paradise Trinity.
Emerging from this embrace as Trinitized Sons of Perfection, they enter the
service of the Ancients of Days in the seven superuniverses, that being the
present known destiny of this unique group of twice-trinitized
beings.
22:8.5 Not all creature-trinitized sons are Trinity
embraced; many become the associates and ambassadors of the Seven Master
Spirits of Paradise, of the Reflective Spirits of the superuniverses, and of
the Mother Spirits of the local creations. Others may accept special
assignments on the eternal Isle. Still others may enter the special services
on the secret worlds of the Father and on the Paradise spheres of the Spirit.
Eventually many find their way into the conjoint corps of the Trinitized Sons
on the inner circuit of Havona.
22:8.6 Excepting the Trinitized Sons of Perfection
and those who are forgathering on Vicegerington, the supreme destiny of all
creature-trinitized sons appears to be entrance into the Corps of Trinitized
Finaliters, one of the seven Paradise Corps of the Finality.
9. THE CELESTIAL GUARDIANS
22:9.1 Creature-trinitized sons are embraced by the
Paradise Trinity in classes of seven thousand. These trinitized offspring of
perfected humans and of Paradise-Havona personalities are all equally embraced
by the Deities, but they are assigned to the superuniverses in accordance with
the advice of their former instructors, the Trinity Teacher Sons. Those of
more acceptable service are commissioned High Son Assistants; those of less
distinguished performance are designated Celestial Guardians.
22:9.2 When these unique beings have been Trinity
embraced, they become valuable adjuncts to the superuniverse governments. They
are versed in the affairs of the ascendant career, not by personal ascension,
but as a result of their service with the Trinity Teacher Sons on the worlds
of space.
22:9.3 Almost one billion Celestial Guardians have
been commissioned in Orvonton. They are chiefly assigned to the
administrations of the Perfections of Days on the headquarters of the major
sectors and are ably assisted by a corps of ascendant Son-fused
mortals.
22:9.4 The Celestial Guardians are the officers of
the courts of the Ancients of Days, functioning as court messengers and as
bearers of the summonses and decisions of the various tribunals of the
superuniverse governments. They are the apprehending agents of the Ancients of
Days; they go forth from Uversa to bring back beings whose presence is
required before the superuniverse judges; they execute the mandates for the
detention of any personality in the superuniverse. They also accompany
Spirit-fused mortals of the local universes when, for any reason, their
presence is required on Uversa.
22:9.5 The Celestial Guardians and their associates,
the High Son Assistants, have never been indwelt by Adjusters. Neither are
they Spirit nor Son fused. The embrace of the Paradise Trinity does, however,
compensate for the nonfused status of the Trinitized Sons of Perfection. The
Trinity embrace may act solely upon the idea which is personified in a
creature-trinitized son, leaving the embraced son otherwise unchanged, but
such a limitation occurs only when so planned.
22:9.6 These twice-trinitized sons are marvelous
beings, but they are neither as versatile nor dependable as their ascendant
associates; they lack that tremendous and profound personal experience which
the rest of the sons belonging to this group have acquired by actually
climbing up to glory from the dark domains of space. We of the ascendant
career love them and do all in our power to compensate their deficiencies, but
they make us ever grateful for our lowly origin and our capacity for
experience. Their willingness to recognize and acknowledge their deficiencies
in the experiencible realities of universe ascension is transcendently
beautiful and sometimes most touchingly pathetic.
22:9.7 Trinitized Sons of Perfection are limited in
contrast to other Trinity-embraced sons because their experiential capacity is
time-space inhibited. They are experience-deficient, despite long training
with the Supreme Executives and the Teacher Sons, and if this were not the
case, experiential saturation would preclude their being left in reserve for
acquiring experience in a future universe age. There is simply nothing in all
universal existence which can take the place of actual personal experience,
and these creature-trinitized sons are held in reserve for experiential
function in some future universe epoch.
22:9.8 On the mansion worlds I have often seen these
dignified officers of the high courts of the superuniverse look so longingly
and appealingly at even the recent arrivals from the evolutionary worlds of
space that one could not help realizing that these possessors of
nonexperiential trinitization really envied their supposedly less fortunate
brethren who ascend the universal path by steps of bona fide experience and
actual living. Notwithstanding their handicaps and limitations they are a
wonderfully useful and ever-willing corps of workers when it comes to the
execution of the complex administrative plans of the superuniverse
governments.
10. HIGH SON ASSISTANTS
22:10.1 The High Son Assistants are the superior
group of the retrinitized trinitized sons of glorified ascendant beings of the
Mortal Corps of the Finality and of their eternal associates, the
Paradise-Havona personalities. They are assigned to the superuniverse service
and function as personal aids to the high sons of the governments of the
Ancients of Days. They might fittingly be denominated private secretaries.
They act, from time to time, as clerks for special commissions and other group
associations of the high sons. They serve Perfectors of Wisdom, Divine
Counselors, Universal Censors, Mighty Messengers, Those High in Authority, and
Those without Name and Number.
22:10.2 If, in discussing the Celestial Guardians, I
have seemed to call attention to the limitations and handicaps of these
twice-trinitized sons, let me now, in all fairness, call attention to their
one point of great strength, the attribute which makes them almost invaluable
to us. These beings owe their very existence to the fact that they are the
personification of a single and supreme concept. They are the personality
embodiment of some divine idea, some universal ideal, as it has never before
been conceived, expressed, or trinitized. And they have subsequently been
Trinity embraced; thus they show forth and actually embody the very wisdom of
the divine Trinity as concerns the idea-ideal of their personality existence.
As far as that particular concept is revealable to the universes, these
personalities embody all of everything that any creature or Creator
intelligence could possibly conceive, express, or exemplify. They are that
idea personified.
22:10.3 Can you not see that such living
concentrations of a single supreme concept of universe reality would be of
untold service to those who are intrusted with the administration of the
superuniverses?
22:10.4 Not long since I was directed to head a
commission of six -- one of each of the high sons -- assigned to the study of
three problems pertaining to a group of new universes in the south parts of
Orvonton. I was made acutely aware of the value of the High Son Assistants
when I made requisition on the chief of their order on Uversa for temporary
assignment of such secretaries to my commission. The first of our ideas was
represented by a High Son Assistant on Uversa, who was forthwith attached to
our group. Our second problem was embodied in a High Son Assistant assigned to
superuniverse number three. We secured much help from this source through the
central universe clearinghouse for the co-ordination and dissemination of
essential knowledge, but nothing comparable to the assistance afforded by the
actual presence of a personality who is a concept creature-trinitized
in supremacy and Deity-trinitized in finality. Concerning our third problem,
the records of Paradise disclosed that such an idea had never been creature
trinitized.
22:10.5 High Son Assistants are unique and original
personalizations of tremendous concepts and stupendous ideals. And as such
they are able to impart inexpressible illumination to our deliberations from
time to time. When I am acting on some remote assignment out in the universes
of space, think what it means, by way of assistance, if I am so fortunate as
to have attached to my mission a High Son Assistant who is the fullness of
divine concept regarding the very problem I have been sent to attack and
solve; and I have repeatedly had this very experience. The only difficulty
with this plan is that no superuniverse can have a complete edition of these
trinitized ideas; we only get one seventh of these beings; so it is only about
one time in seven that we enjoy the personal association of these beings even
when the records indicate that the idea has been trinitized.
22:10.6 We could use to great advantage much larger
numbers of these beings on Uversa. Because of their value to the superuniverse
administrations, we, in every way possible, encourage the pilgrims of space
and also the residents of Paradise to attempt trinitization after they have
contributed to one another those experiential realities which are essential to
the enactment of such creative adventures.
22:10.7 We now have in our superuniverse about one
and a quarter million High Son Assistants, and they serve on both the major
and minor sectors, even as they function on Uversa. They very often accompany
us on our assignments to the remote universes. High Son Assistants are not
permanently assigned to any Son or to any commission. They are in constant
circulation, serving where the idea or ideal which they are can best
further the eternal purposes of the Paradise Trinity, whose sons they have
become.
22:10.8 They are touchingly affectionate, superbly
loyal, exquisitely intelligent, supremely wise -- regarding a single idea --
and transcendently humble. While they can impart to you the lore of the
universe concerning their one idea or ideal, it is well-nigh pathetic to
observe them seeking knowledge and information on hosts of other subjects,
even from the ascending mortals.
22:10.9 And this is the narrative of the origin,
nature, and functioning of certain of those who are called the Trinitized Sons
of God, more particularly of those who have passed through the divine embrace
of the Paradise Trinity, and who have then been assigned to the services of
the superuniverses, there to give wise and understanding co-operation with the
administrators of the Ancients of Days in their untiring efforts to facilitate
the inward progress of the ascending mortals of time toward their immediate
Havona destination and their eventual Paradise goal.
22:10.10 Narrated
by a Mighty Messenger of the revelatory corps of
Orvonton.
