PAPER 22
THE TRINITIZED SONS OF GOD
Narrated by a Mighty Messenger of the revelatory corps of
Orvonton.
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.

Orvonton.
