Super Universe Number Seven - Overton
The Seventh Super Universe is Overton. The capital is Uversa, which
consists of a cluster of 490 architectural spheres. When Overton is complete, it will contain one-seventh of numbers of units
planned for the Super Universes:
Major Sectors....................................7 Minor Sectors.................................100 Local
Universes.........................100,000 Constellations........................10,000,000 Local Systems.....................1,000,000,000 Inhabitable
Planets .......1,000,000,000,000
The standard day in Uversa equals 30 Earth days. The standard year equals 100
standard days or 3000 Earth days.
Admission of a planet into the super universe circuits requires: 1.
Physical stability 2. Spiritual loyalty.
Location of Planet Earth (Urantia)
Earth (Urantia)
is number 606 in the planetary group, or
system, of Satania. The system presently has 619 inhabited
worlds. More than two hundred additional planets
are evolving favorably toward becoming inhabited
worlds at some future time.
Evolution of The Almighty Supreme

The Almighty Supreme
If man recognized that his Creators - his immediate supervisors - while being divine were
also finite, and that the God of time and space was an evolving and nonabsolute Deity, then would the inconsistencies of temporal
inequalities cease to be profound religious paradoxes.
Reason and logic compel any honest being, when viewing the turmoil, imperfections, and inequities
on Planet Earth, to conclude that the world had been made by, and managed by, Creators who are subabsolute, preinfinite, and
other than perfect.
Experiential growth implies creature-Creator partnership. Growth is the earmark of experiential
Deity. Growth characterizes the grand universe.
The Almighty Supreme is a living and evolving Deity of power and personality. His present
domain, the grand universe, is also a growing realm of power and personality. His destiny is perfection, but his present experience
encompasses the elements of growth and incomplete status.
The Supreme Being functions primarily in the central universe as a spirit personality;
secondarily in the grand universe as God the Almighty, a personality of power. The tertiary function of the Supreme in
the master universe is now latent, existing only as an unknown mind potential.
The Supreme Mind
The experience of every evolving creature personality is a phase of the experience of the Almighty
Supreme. The intelligent subjugation of every physical segment of the super
universes is a part of the growing control of the Almighty Supreme. The creative synthesis of power and personality is a part
of the creative urge of the Supreme Mind and is the very essence of the evolutionary growth of unity in the Supreme Being.
The union of the power and personality attributes of Supremacy is the function of Supreme Mind;
and the completed evolution of the Almighty Supreme will result in one unified and personal Deity - not in any loosely co-ordinated
association of divine attributes. From the broader perspective, there will be no Almighty apart from the Supreme, no Supreme
apart from the Almighty.
Throughout the evolutionary ages the physical power potential of the Supreme is vested in the
Seven Supreme Power Directors, and the mind potential reposes in the Seven Master Spirits. The Infinite Mind is the function
of the Infinite Spirit; the cosmic mind, the ministry of the Seven Master Spirits. The Supreme Mind is in process of
actualizing in the coordination of the grand universe and in functional association with the revelation and attainment
of God the Sevenfold.
The mind of Supremacy is active throughout the grand universe and is believed to have a potential
destiny of master universe function which is of vast extent. Physique may attain completed growth, and spirit may achieve
perfection of development, but mind never ceases to progress. It is the experiential technique of endless progress. The Supreme
is an experiential Deity and therefore never achieves completion of mind attainment.
The Almighty and God the Sevenfold
The appearance of the universe power presence of the Almighty is concurrent with the appearance
on the stage of cosmic action of the high creators and controllers of the evolutionary super universes.
God the Supreme derives his spirit and personality attributes from the Paradise Trinity, but
he is power-actualizing in the doings of the Creator Sons, the Ancients of Days, and the Master Spirits, whose collective
acts are the source of his growing power as almighty sovereign to and in the seven super universes.
The Almighty and Paradise Deity
The Paradise Deities not only act directly in their gravity circuits throughout the grand universe,
but they also function through their various agencies and other manifestations.
The finite domains of energy and spirit are literally held together by the mind presences of
the Conjoint Actor. This is true of the daughter Creative Spirit in the local universes through the Reflective Spirits
of a super universe to the Master Spirits in the grand universe. The mind circuits emanating from these varied intelligence
focuses represent the cosmic arena of creature choice. Mind is the flexible reality which creatures and Creators can so readily
manipulate; it is the vital link connecting matter and spirit. The mind bestowal of the Third Source and Center unifies the
spirit person of God the Supreme with the experiential power of the evolutionary Almighty.
The bestowal incarnations of the Eternal Son and his Paradise Sons fuse the
divine nature of a Creator with the evolving nature of a creature. The Supreme is both creature and creator.The bestowal
orders of sonship, the Michaels and the Avonals, actually augment their divine natures with bona fide creature natures which
have become theirs by the living of the actual creature life on the evolutionary worlds. When divinity becomes like humanity,
inherent in this relationship is the possibility that humanity can become divine.
The indwelling fragments of the Universal Father (Thought Adjusters) actually fuse the evolving
creatures with God on Paradise. The Thought Adjusters are to human beings what the Paradise Trinity is to the Supreme Being.
The Almighty and The Supreme Creators
The unity of the Supreme Whole is dependent on the progressive unification of the
finite parts; the actualization of the Supreme is resultant from, and productive of, these very unifications of the factors
of supremacy - the creators, creatures, intelligences, and energies of the universes.
The Infinite Spirit as the Conjoint Actor functions in many ways which compensate the incompletion
of evolutionary Deity and sustains very close relations to the Supreme. This closeness of relationship is shared in measure
by all of the Master Spirits but especially by Master Spirit Number Seven, who speaks for the Supreme. Master Spirit
Number Seven is in personal contact with the Supreme.
The triune rulers of the super creations, the Ancients of Days, are the justice-judgment personifications
of Trinity in time and space. They are the field fulcrums for the mobilizing almighty power of the Supreme, serving as the
sevenfold focal points for the evolution of trinitarian sovereignty in the domains of time and space. From their vantage point
midway between Paradise and the evolving worlds, these Trinity-origin sovereigns see both ways, know both ways, and coordinate
both ways.
But the local universes are the real laboratories in which are worked out the mind experiments,
galactic adventures, divinity unfoldings, and personality progressions which, when cosmically totaled, constitute the actual
foundation upon which the Supreme is achieving deity evolution in and by experience.
The Almighty and the Sevenfold Controllers
God the Sevenfold encompasses the controllers as well as the creators of the grand universe.
These sevenfold controllers of the grand universe embrace the following:
1. The Master Physical Controllers.
2. The Supreme Power Centers.
3. The Supreme Power Directors.
4. The Almighty Supreme.
5. The God of Action--the Infinite Spirit.
6. The Isle of Paradise.
7. The Source of Paradise--the Universal Father.
These seven groups are functionally inseparable from God the Sevenfold and constitute the physical-control
level of this Deity association.
The Almighty Supreme is evolving as the overcontroller of the physical power of the grand universe.
The spirit struggles of time and space have to do with the evolution of spirit dominance over
matter by the mediation of (personal) mind. The physical (nonpersonal) evolution of the universes has to do with bringing
cosmic energy into harmony with the equilibrium concepts of mind subject to the overcontrol of spirit. The total evolution
of the entire grand universe is a matter of the personality unification of the energy-controlling mind with the spirit-coordinated
intellect and will be revealed in the full appearance of the almighty power of the Supreme.
Spirit Dominance
On absolute levels, energy and spirit are one. But the moment departure is made from such absolute
levels, difference appears, and as energy and spirit move spaceward from Paradise, the gulf between them widens until in the
local universes they have become quite divergent. They are no longer identical, neither are they alike, and mind must intervene
to interrelate them.
There is an interdependence of all forces and personalities throughout the universe of universes.
Creator Sons and Creative Spirits depend on the cooperative function of the power centers and physical controllers in the
organization of universes. The Supreme Power Directors are incomplete without the overcontrol of the Master Spirits.
In a human being the mechanism of physical life is responsive, in part, to the dictates of (personal) mind. This very mind
may, in turn, become dominated by the leadings of purposive spirit, and the result of such evolutionary development is the
production of a new child of the Supreme, a new personal unification of the several kinds of cosmic reality.
And as it is with the parts, so it is with the whole; the spirit person of Supremacy requires
the evolutionary power of the Almighty to achieve completion of Deity and to attain destiny of Trinity association. The effort
is made by the personalities of time and space, but the culmination and consummation of this effort is the act of the Almighty
Supreme. And while the growth of the whole is thus a totalizing of the collective growth of the parts, it equally follows
that the evolution of the parts is a segmented reflection of the purposive growth of the whole.
The dominance of spirit, which is existential on absolute levels, becomes an evolutionary experience
on finite levels and in the seven super universes. And this experience is shared alike by all, from mortal man to the Supreme
Being. All strive, personally strive, in the achievement; all participate, personally participate, in the destiny.
Human beings are capable of making an everlasting self-identification with total and indestructible
universe reality, fusion with the indwelling Thought Adjuster. Likewise does the Supreme everlastingly depend on the absolute
stability of Original Deity, the Paradise Trinity.
Man's urge for Paradise perfection, his striving for God-attainment, creates a genuine divinity
tension in the living cosmos which can only be resolved by the evolution of an immortal soul. This happens in the
experience of a single mortal creature. When all creatures and all Creators in the grand universe likewise strive for God-attainment
and divine perfection, there is built up a profound cosmic tension which can only find resolution in the sublime synthesis
of almighty power with the spirit person of the evolving God of all creatures, the Supreme Being.

Levels of God The Sevenfold
- The Path of Ascension
To atone for finity of status and to compensate for creature limitations of concept,
the Universal Father has established the evolutionary creature's sevenfold approach
to Deity: 1. The Paradise Creator Sons. 2. The Ancients of Days. 3. The Seven Master Spirits. 4. The Supreme Being. 5. God the Spirit. 6. God the Son. 7. God the Father. This sevenfold Deity personalization in time and space and to the seven superuniverses enables mortal man to attain the presence of God, who is spirit. This sevenfold Deity, to finite time-space creatures sometime power-personalizing in the Supreme Being, is the functional Deity of the mortal evolutionary creatures of the Paradise-ascension career. Such an experiential discovery-career of the realization of God begins with the recognition of the divinity of the Creator Son of the local universe and ascends through the superuniverse Ancients of Days and by way of the person of one of the Seven Master Spirits to the attainment of the discovery and recognition of the divine personality of the Universal Father on Paradise.

Administration
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.
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.
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 super universe.
While the Ancients of Days are the most perfect, most versatile, and the most divinely endowed rulers in all
time-space existence, they have not experientially earned the right to rule, and are therefore destined sometime to
be superseded by the Supreme Being, an experiential sovereign, whose vicegerents they will undoubtedly become.

Rulers of Super Universe Seven
Executive Branch
The headquarters of the super universes are the seats of the high spiritual government of the time-space domains.
The executive branch of the supergovernment, taking origin in the Councils of the Trinity, is immediately directed
by one of the Seven Master Spirits of supreme supervision, beings who sit upon seats of Paradise authority and administer
the super universes through the Seven Supreme Executives stationed on the seven special worlds of the Infinite Spirit, the
outermost satellites of Paradise.
The super universe headquarters are the abiding places of the Reflective Spirits and the Reflective Image Aids. From this
midway position these marvelous beings conduct their tremendous reflectivity operations, thus ministering to the central universe
above and to the local universes below.
Each superuniverse is presided over by three Ancients of Days, the joint chief executives of the supergovernment. In its
executive branch the personnel of the superuniverse government consists of seven different groups: 1. Ancients of Days. 2.
Perfectors of Wisdom. 3. Divine Counselors. 4. Universal Censors. 5. Mighty Messengers. 6. Those High in Authority. 7.
Those without Name and Number.
Super Universe Seven Executive Branch - The Coordinate Council
The coordinate council of the super universe seven is composed of representatives of the executive groups previously
named, and the following sector rulers and other regional overseers:
Perfections of Days - Major Sector Ruler Recents of Days - Minor Sector Ruler Union of Days - Local Universe Ruler Faithful

Rulers of Super Universe Seven - Legislative Branch
Deliberative Assembly - Ascendent Pilgrims
It is on such worlds as Uversa that the beings representative of the autocracy of perfection
and the democracy of evolution meet face to face.
The executive branch of the supergovernment originates in the realms of perfection; the legislative
branch springs from the flowering of the evolutionary universes.
The deliberative assembly of the superuniverse is confined to the headquarters world (Uversa). This
legislative or advisory council consists of seven houses. Every local universe admitted to the super universe councils
elects a native representative to each of the seven houses. These representatives are chosen by the high councils of such
local universes from among the ascending-pilgrim graduates of Super Universe Seven (Orvonton) who linger
on Uversa for this service. The average term of service is about one hundred years of super universe standard time.
In the history of the super universe, the executive division of the supergovernment has never hesitated
to carry out a recommendation passed by the deliberative body . This testifies to the fact that evolutionary beings can
really attain the heights of perfected wisdom which qualifies them to consort with the personalities of perfect origin and
divine nature.
The presence of the deliberative assemblies on the superuniverse headquarters reveals the wisdom, and
foreshadows the ultimate triumph, of the whole vast evolutionary concept of the Universal Father and his Eternal Son.

Rulers of Super Universe Seven - The Supreme Tribunals
Judicial Branch
When considering the executive and legislative (deliberative) branches of the Uversa government, one may reason from
the analogy of some forms of civil government on Earth, that there is a a third or judicial branch. There
is, but it does not have separate personnel. In accordance with the nature and gravity of the case, there
presides an Ancient of Days, a Perfector of Wisdom, or a Divine Counselor. The evidence for or against an individual, a planet,
system, constellation, or universe is presented and interpreted by the Censors. The defense of the children of time and the
evolutionary planets is offered by the Mighty Messengers, who are the official observers of the super universe government
to the local universes and systems. The position and attitude of the higher government is portrayed by Those High in Authority.
Usually, the verdict is formulated by a varying-sized commission consisting equally of Those without Name and Number and a
group of understanding personalities chosen from the deliberative assembly.
The courts of the Ancients of Days are the high review tribunals for the spiritual adjudication of all component universes.
The Sovereign Sons of the local universes are supreme in their own domains. They are subject to the supergovernment
only in so far as they voluntarily submit matters for counsel or adjudication by the Ancients of Days (except in matters
involving the extinction of will creatures).
Mandates of judgment originate in the local universes, but sentences involving the extinction of will creatures are always
formulated on, and executed from, the headquarters of the super universe. The Sons of the local universes can decree the survival
of mortal man, but only the Ancients of Days may sit in executive judgment on the issues of eternal life and death.
In all matters not requiring trial, the submission of evidence, the Ancients of Days or their associates render decisions,
and these rulings are always unanimous. We are here dealing with the councils of perfection. There are no disagreements nor
minority opinions in the decrees of these supreme and superlative tribunals.
With certain few exceptions the supergovernments exercise jurisdiction over all things and all beings in their respective
domains. There is no appeal from the rulings and decisions of the superuniverse authorities since they represent the concurred
opinions of the Ancients of Days and that Master Spirit who, from Paradise, presides over the destiny of the superuniverse
concerned.

Rulers of Major Sector
Tribunal of the Perfections of Days
Three Perfections of Days preside over the governments of the ten major sectors of each super
universe. They were trinitized for the special work of assisting the super universe directors. They rule as the
immediate and personal vicegerents of the Ancients of Days.
These triune rulers of the major sectors are peculiarly perfect in the mastery of administrative
details, hence their name - Perfections of Days.
The Perfections of Days have a moderate-sized corps of Divine Counselors, Perfectors of Wisdom, and
Universal Censors attached to their governments. They have larger numbers of Mighty Messengers, Those High in Authority,
and Those without Name and Number.
Much of the routine work of major sector affairs is carried out 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.

Recents of Days - Scroll to p. 211

Rulers of Minor Sector
Recents of Days
The Recents of Days are the youngest of the supreme directors of the super
universes. They preside in groups of three over the affairs of the minor sectors. While in nature they are coordinate
with the Perfections of Days of the major sector, in administrative authority they are subordinate. There are just twenty-one
thousand of these personally glorious and divinely efficient Trinity personalities in the super universes.
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.
The governments of the minor sectors are very largely, though not exclusively,
concerned with the great physical problems of the super universes. The minor sector spheres are the headquarters
of the Master Physical Controllers.
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. At least one of these rulers always remains on duty at the headquarters of a minor sector.

Union of Days - Scroll to p. 212

Trinity Representative at the Local Universe Level
Union of Days
The Trinity personalities of the order of "Days" do not function in an administrative capacity below the level of the super
universe 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.
In a special manner these Trinity observers coordinate 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 super universe, 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 super universe.
Since they are Trinity-origin beings, all of the Paradise circuits are available to them for intercommunication, and they
are always in touch with each other and with all other required personalities up to the supreme councils of Paradise.
The Union of Days 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.
The name of the Union of Days Trinity Ambassador to Earth's Local Universe, Nebadon, is Immanuel. He is referred
to as Immanuel of Salvington (the capital of Nebadon).

Trinity Representative at the Constellation Level within
the Local Universe
The Faithful of Days
The most holy mount of assembly is the dwelling place of
the Faithful of Days, the representative of the Paradise Trinity who functions on Edentia, the capital of Earth's constellation.
This Faithful of Days is a Trinity Son of Paradise. He has been present on Edentia as the personal representative of
Immanuel, the trinity representative at the local universe level, since the creation of the headquarters world.
The Faithful of Days stands ever ready to counsel the Constellation
Fathers, but he never offers advice unless it is requested. All that a Union of Days is to a Creator Son, a Faithful of Days
is to the Most Highs of a constellation.
The residence of the Edentia Faithful of Days is the constellation
center of the Paradise system of extrauniverse communication and intelligence. These Trinity Sons, with their staffs of Havona
and Paradise personalities, in liaison with the supervising Union of Days, are in direct and constant communication with their
order throughout all the universes, Havona and Paradise.
The Faithful of Days reveals the trinity to mortal ascenders.

The Dual Creators of the Local Universes
The Creator Son - God of Time
The Paradise Sons of the primary order of Michaels are
the designers, creators, builders, and administrators of their respective domains, the local universes of time and space,
the basic creative units of the seven evolutionary super universes. A Creator Son chooses the space site of his future
cosmic activity, but before he may begin even the physical organization of his universe, he must spend a long period of observation
devoted to the study of the efforts of his older brothers in various creations located in the super universe of his projected
action. Prior to this, the Michael Son will have completed his long and unique experience of Paradise observation and
Havona training.
When a Creator Son departs from Paradise to embark upon
the adventure of universe making, to become the head - virtually the God - of the local universe of his own organization,
then, for the first time, he finds himself in intimate contact with, and in many respects dependent upon, the Infinite Spirit.
The Infinite Spirit, though abiding with the Father and the Son at the center of all things, is destined to function as the
actual and effective helper of each Creator Son. Therefore, each Creator Son is accompanied by a Creative Daughter of the
Infinite Spirit who is destined to become the Divine Minister, the Mother Spirit of the new local universe.
Characteristics of the Creator Son and Creative Daughter and their relationship appear
in the downstepped male and female mortals.
The Michael Son of the Local Universe of Nebadon bestowed himself
on the planet Earth (Urantia) in 7 B.C. as Jesus of Nazareth.
The Mother Spirit - Goddess of Space
When a Creator Son is personalized by the Universal Father and
the Eternal Son, the Infinite Spirit individualizes a new and unique representation of himself to accompany the Creator Son
to the realms of space, there to be his companion, first, in physical organization and, later, in creation and ministry to
the creatures of the newly projected universe.
A Creative Spirit reacts to both physical and spiritual realities;
so does a Creator Son; and thus are they coordinate and associate in the administration of a local universe of time and space.
These Daughter Spirits are of the essence of the Infinite Spirit,
but they cannot function in the work of physical creation and spiritual ministry simultaneously. In physical creation
the Universe Son provides the pattern while the Universe Spirit initiates the materialization of physical realities.
The Divine Minister is the understanding helper of the Creator Son, enabling him to overcome and atone
for his inherent limitations regarding space, for when these two function in administrative union, they are practically
independent of time and space within the confines of their local creation.
In personal prerogatives a Creative Spirit is wholly and entirely independent of space. She
is equally and diffusely present throughout her entire local universe. She is literally and personally present on every
world.
Unfettered by time, a Creator Son acts instantaneously throughout his universe.

Creation of Life in the Local Universe
Primary Eruption
After the completion of the physical organization of a starry and planetary cluster and the establishment
of the energy circuits by the super universe power centers, there goes forth the proclamation of the Michael Son that life
is next to be projected in the newly organized universe. Soon, there occurs a "primary eruption." This is a tremendous spiritual
flash, a phenomenon clearly discernible as far away as the headquarters of the superuniverse concerned. Simultaneously with
this little-understood Trinity manifestation, there occurs a marked change in the nature of the creative spirit
presence and power of the Infinite Spirit resident in the local universe.
In response to these Paradise phenomena there immediately personalizes, in the very presence of the
Creator Son, a new personal representation of the Infinite Spirit. This is the Divine Minister. The individualized Creative
Spirit helper of the Creator Son has become his personal creative associate, the local universe Mother Spirit. This
new and personal presence is a transformation of the pre-existent but less personal associate of the Son, the Creative Daughter,
who assisted in the earlier work of physical universe organization.
From the earliest association with the Creator Son the Universe Spirit possesses all the physical-control
attributes of the Infinite Spirit, including the full endowment of antigravity. Upon the attainment of personal status
the Universe Spirit exerts just as full and complete control of mind gravity, in the local universe, as would the Infinite
Spirit if personally present.
The Creative Mother Spirit pledges subordination to Michael, the Creator Son. In a Proclamation of
Equality, Michael publishes to the worlds the fact of the Spirit's equality with him in all endowments of personality and
attributes of divine character. These acts are the high ideal of the family and the human institution of voluntary marriage.
The Son and the Spirit preside over the local universe much as a father and mother watch over and minister
to their family of sons and daughters - a grand and glorious family but one of untold responsibilities and endless watchcare.
The Son initiates the creation of certain of the universe children, while the Spirit is solely responsible
for bringing into existence the numerous orders of spirit personalities who minister and serve under the direction and guidance
of the Mother Spirit. In the creation of other types of universe personalities, both the Son and the Spirit function together.
In no creative act does the one do anything without the counsel and approval of the other.
In their first collaborative creation, the Creative Mother Spirit and the Son create the Bright and
Morning Star. Subsequent offspring of the Spirit increasingly approach the order of created beings on the planets, even as
the Sons grade downward from the Melchizedeks to the Material Sons, who actually contact with the mortals of the realms. In
the later evolution of mortal creatures the Life Carrier Sons provide the physical body, fabricated out of the existing organized
material of the realm, while the Universe Spirit contributes the "breath of life."

Chief Executive Officer - Gabriel, The Bright and Morning Star
The Bright and Morning Star is the personalization of the first concept of identity and ideal
of personality conceived by the Creator Son and the local universe manifestation of the Infinite Spirit.
Only one such being of wisdom and majesty is brought forth in each local universe. This first-born of the parents of a
new universe is a unique personality possessing many wonderful traits not visibly present in either ancestor, a being of unprecedented
versatility and unimagined brilliance. This supernal personality embraces the divine will of the Son combined with the creative
imagination of the Spirit. The thoughts and acts of the Bright and Morning Star will ever be fully representative of both
the Creator Son and the Creative Spirit. The Bright and Morning Star is not a creator, but he is a marvelous administrator.
He is the personal administrative representative of the Creator Son. The Son and the Spirit never confer upon important universe
procedures without Gabriel's presence.
Gabriel is also the chief officer of execution for super universe mandates relating to nonpersonal affairs in the
local universe. Most matters pertaining to mass judgment and dispensational resurrections, adjudicated by the Ancients of
Days, are also delegated to Gabriel and his staff for execution. He has at his command an able corps of administrative assistants,
created for their special work. In addition to these assistants, Gabriel may employ any and all of the orders of celestial
beings functioning in Nebadon. He is also the commander in chief of "the armies of heaven" - the celestial hosts.

Sons of Local Universe Origin
The Creator Son and Mother Spirit co-create four orders of local universe sons. These are:
1. Melchizedek Sons.
2. Vorondadek Sons.
3. Lanonandek Sons.
4. Life Carrier Sons.
The Father Melchizedek
After bringing into existence the beings of personal aid, such as the Bright and Morning Star and other administrative
personalities, in accordance with the divine purpose and creative plans of a given universe, there occurs a new form of creative
union between the Creator Son and the Creative Spirit, the local universe Daughter of the Infinite Spirit. The personality
offspring resulting from this new form of creative partnership is the original Melchizedek, appropriately called the Father
Melchizedek because he subsequently collaborates with the Creator Son and the Creative Spirit to bring into existence the
entire group of Melchizedek Sons.
In the universe of Nebadon the Father Melchizedek also acts as the first executive associate of the Bright and Morning
Star. Gabriel is occupied more with universe policies, Melchizedek with practical procedures. In Gabriel's absence, the Father
Melchizedek functions as the chief executive of Nebadon.

The Melchizedek Sons
The Melchizedek Sons were created at the mid-point of the great personality descent. They are midway between the
highest Divinity and the lowest creature life of will endowment. They are the natural intermediaries between the higher
and divine levels of living existence and even the lower material forms of life on the evolutionary worlds.
The Melchizedeks are the first order of divine Sons capable of approaching sufficiently near the lower creature life to
function directly in the ministry of mortal uplift, and to serve the evolutionary races without the necessity of
incarnation.
The Melchizedeks are a self-governing order. They are the hope of every universe group which aspires to self-government.
They are the pattern and the teachers of self-government to all the spheres of Nebadon. All orders of intelligent beings,
superiors from above and subordinates from below, are wholehearted in their praise of the government of the Melchizedeks.
The angels delight to work with the Melchizedeks. All forms of intelligent life find these Sons understanding friends, sympathetic
teachers, and wise counselors.
On their own initiative these Melchizedeks patrol the local universe. They maintain an autonomous organization devoted
to universe intelligence, making periodical reports to the Creator Son independent of all information coming up to universe
headquarters through the regular agencies concerned with the routine administration of the realm. They are by nature unprejudiced
observers; they have the full confidence of all classes of intelligent beings.
The Melchizedeks are the chief aids of Gabriel in carrying out the mandates of the Creator Son. There is no phase of planetary
spiritual need to which they do not minister.
The Melchizedek who lived on Earth during the time of Abraham was locally known as the Prince of Salem because he presided
over a small colony of truth seekers residing at a place called Salem (later Jerusalem). He volunteered to incarnate in the
likeness of mortal flesh to preserve the light of life during that period of increasing spiritual darkness. He successfully
fostered the truth of his day and safely passed it on to Abraham and his associates.

The Vorondadek Sons
After the creation of the personal aids and the first group of the versatile
Melchizedeks, the Creator Son and the local universe Creative Spirit planned for, and brought into existence, the second great
and diverse order of universe sonship, the Vorondadeks. They are more generally known as Constellation Fathers because
a Son of this order is uniformly found at the head of each constellation government in every local universe.
The are just one million Vorondadeks in Nebadon. Like their co-ordinates,
the Melchizedeks, these Sons possess no power of reproduction.
The service of the Vorondadeks in the local universes is extensive and
varied. They serve as ambassadors to other universes and as consuls representing constellations within their native universe.
Of all orders of local universe sonship they are the most often intrusted with the full delegation of sovereign powers to
be exercised in critical universe situations.
On worlds, such as Earth, that are segregated in spiritual darkness because
of rebellion and default, an observer Vorondadek is usually present pending the restoration of normal status. In certain emergencies
this Most High observer could exercise absolute and arbitrary authority over every celestial being assigned to that planet.
Often a corps of twelve or more Vorondadek Sons sits as a high court of
review and appeal concerning special cases involving the status of a planet or a system. Their work more largely pertains
to the legislative functions indigenous to the constellation governments.
At least three Vorondadeks are assigned to the rulership of each of the
one hundred constellations of a local universe.
The one hundred Constellation Fathers, the actual presiding heads of the
constellation governments, constitute the supreme advisory cabinet of the Creator Son. This council is in frequent
session at universe headquarters and is unlimited in the scope and range of its deliberations but is chiefly concerned with
the welfare of the constellations and with the unification of the administration of the entire local universe.

The Lanonadek Sons
After creating the Vorondadeks, the Creator Son and the Universe Mother Spirit united to bring the third order of universe
sonship, the Lanonandeks into existence. These sons are best known as System Sovereigns (the rulers of the local solar
systems), and as Planetary Princes, the administrative heads of the inhabited worlds.
Being a later and lower order of sonship creation (as concerns divinity levels), these beings were required to pass through
certain courses of training on the Melchizedek worlds in preparation for subsequent service. They were the first students
in the Melchizedek University and were classified and certified by their Melchizedek teachers and examiners according to ability,
personality and attainment.
The universe of Nebadon began with exactly twelve million Lanonandeks, and when they had passed through the Melchizedek
sphere, they were divided in the final tests into three classes:
1. Primary Lanonandeks. Of the highest rank there were 709,841. These are the Sons designated as System Sovereigns
and assistants to the supreme councils of the constellations and as counselors in the higher administrative work of the universe.
2. Secondary Lanonandeks. Of this order emerging from Melchizedek training, there were 10,234,601. They are assigned
as Planetary Princes and to the reserves of that order.
3. Tertiary Lanonandeks. This group contained 1,055,558. These Sons function as subordinate assistants, messengers,
custodians, commissioners, observers, and prosecute the miscellaneous duties of a system and its component worlds.
It is not possible, as it is with evolutionary beings, for these Sons to progress from one group to another. When subjected
to the Melchizedek training, when once tested and classified, they serve continuously in the rank assigned. These Sons do
not engage in reproduction. Their number in the universe is stationary.
Since Lanonandeks are a somewhat lower order of sonship than the Melchizedeks and the Vorondadeks, they are of even greater
service in the subordinate units of the universe, for they are capable of drawing nearer the lower creatures of the intelligent
races. They also stand in greater danger of going astray as did the Planetary Prince of Earth during the Luciferian Rebellion.

The Life Carriers - p. 396

The Life Carriers
Origin of Life
Life does not originate spontaneously.
Life is constructed according to plans formulated by the (unrevealed) Architects
of Being and appears on the inhabited planets either by direct importation or as a result of the operations of the Life Carriers
of the local universes. These carriers of life are among the most interesting and versatile of the diverse family of universe
Sons. They are entrusted with designing and carrying creature life to the planetary spheres. And after planting this life
on such new worlds, they remain there for long periods to foster its development.
Origin and Nature of Life Carriers
Though the Life Carriers belong to the family of divine sonship, they are a peculiar
and distinct type of universe Sons, being the only group of intelligent life in a local universe in whose creation the rulers
of a super universe participate. The Life Carriers are the offspring of three pre-existent personalities: the Creator Son,
the Universe Mother Spirit, and, by designation, one of the three Ancients of Days presiding over the destinies of the super
universe concerned. These Ancients of Days, who alone can decree the extinction of intelligent life, participate in the creation
of the Life Carriers, who are entrusted with establishing physical life on the evolving worlds.
In the universe of Nebadon, one hundred million Life Carriers were created. This
efficient corps of life disseminators are directed by the life-determining trio, consisting of Gabriel, the Father Melchizedek,
and Nambia, the original and first-born Life Carrier of Nebadon. In all phases of their divisional administration, they are
self-governing.
Life Carriers are graded into three grand divisions. The first division is the
senior Life Carriers, the second, assistants, and the third, custodians. The primary division is subdivided into twelve groups
of specialists in the various forms of life manifestation. The segregation of these three divisions was effected by the Melchizedeks,
who conducted tests for such purposes on the Life Carriers' headquarters sphere. The Melchizedeks are closely associated with
the Life Carriers and always accompany them when they go forth to establish life on a new planet.
When an evolutionary planet is finally settled in light and life, the Life
Carriers are organized into the higher deliberative bodies of advisory capacity to assist in the further administration and
development of the world and its glorified beings. In the later and settled ages of an evolving universe these Life Carriers
are entrusted with many new duties.

Administrative Councils
The Supreme Council
The supreme council of the local universe of Nebadon is normally made up of seven representatives from each constellation
and three members from each system. Representation on the supreme council at universe headquarters for Earth's system of Satania
was suspended by the Luciferian rebellion. Satania now has an observer at the headquarters of the local universe. Observers
attend and study all the deliberations of the supreme council.
The One Hundred Councils of Supreme Sanction
The one hundred councils of supreme sanction are also situated on Salvington, the capital of Nebadon. The presidents
of these councils constitute the immediate working cabinet of Gabriel.

Branches of the Constellation Government
Executive Branch
The rulers of the constellations are of the Vorondadek order of local universe sonship. When commissioned to active duty
in the universe as constellation rulers or otherwise, these Sons are known as the Most Highs since they embody the
highest administrative wisdom.
At least
three Vorondadek Sons are commissioned by Gabriel as the Most Highs of each of the Nebadon constellations. The presiding member
of this trio is known as the Constellation Father and his two associates as the senior Most High and the junior
Most High.
The Constellation Fathers are little occupied with the individuals of an inhabited planet, but they are closely associated
with those legislative and lawmaking functions of the constellations that concern every mortal race and
national group of the inhabited worlds.
Judicial Branch
While the supreme judicial function rests with the central administration of a local universe, there are two subsidiary
but major tribunals at the headquarters of each constellation, the Melchizedek council and the court of the Most
High.
Legislative Branch
The constellation legislative body is divided into three groups. The legislative program
of a constellation originates in the lower house of ascenders, a group presided over by a finaliter and consisting
of one thousand representative mortals. Each system nominates ten members to sit in this deliberative assembly.
The mid-chamber of legislators is composed of the seraphic hosts and their associates.
This group numbers one hundred and is nominated by the supervising personalities who preside over the various activities of
such beings as they function within the constellation.
The advisory or highest body of constellation legislators consists of the house of peers - the house of the divine
Sons. This corps is chosen by the Most High Fathers and numbers ten. The legislative pronouncements of Edentia (the capital)
constitute the fundamental law of all Norlatiadek (Earth's constellation).

Government of the System
of Satania
The System Sovereign
The chief executive of a local system of inhabited worlds is a primary Lanonandek Son, the System Sovereign. In
Earth's local universe these sovereigns are entrusted with large executive responsibilities and unusual personal prerogatives.
In the history of Nebadon these unrestrained executives have exhibited disloyalty only three times. The Lucifer rebellion
in the system of Satania was the last and the most widespread of all.
The present head of Satania is Lanaforge, a rebellion-tested sovereign. When serving as an assistant System Sovereign,
Lanaforge was faithful to Michael in an earlier upheaval in the universe of Nebadon.
While all the affairs of the isolated worlds of Satania have not been returned to his jurisdiction, Lanaforge discloses
great interest in their welfare, and he is a frequent visitor on Earth. As in other and normal systems, the Sovereign presides
over the system council of world rulers, the Planetary Princes and the resident governors general of the isolated worlds.
The chief executive of a local system, the System Sovereign, is always supported by two or three Lanonandek
Sons, who function as first and second assistants. But at the present time, the system of Satania is administered by a staff
of seven Lanonandeks.This executive group of seven Lanonandeks constitutes the expanded emergency administration made necessary
by the exigencies of the Lucifer rebellion. There are only minor courts on Jerusem since the system is the unit of administration,
not adjudication, but the Lanonandek administration is supported by the Jerusem executive council, the supreme advisory body
of Satania. This council consists of twelve members.
The Four and Twenty Counselors
The head of this group is the judgment seat of the presiding archangel, the throne of the resurrection roll call
of mercy and justice for all Satania. This judgment seat has always been on Jerusem. The twenty-four surrounding seats were
placed in position soon after Christ Michael was elevated to the full sovereignty of Nebadon. These four and twenty counselors
are Michael's personal agents on Jerusem. They have authority to represent the Master Son in all matters concerning the roll
calls of Satania and in many other phases of the scheme of mortal ascension on the isolated worlds of the system.
These twenty-four counselors have been recruited from the eight Earth races. The last of this group were
assembled at the time of the resurrection roll call of Michael.
Some of the members of the Four and Twenty Councilors are:
Adam, the discredited but rehabilitated planetary father of Earth, a Material Son of God who was relegated
to the likeness of mortal flesh, but who survived and was subsequently elevated to this position by the decree of Michael.
Eve, the mother of the violet race of Earth, who suffered the penalty of default with her mate and was also
rehabilitated with him and assigned to serve with this group of mortal survivors.
Enoch, the first of the mortals of Earth to fuse with the Thought Adjuster during the mortal life in the
flesh.
Moses, the emancipator of a remnant of the submerged violet race and the instigator of the revival of the
worship of the Universal Father under the name of "The God of Israel."
Elijah, a translated soul of brilliant spiritual achievement during the post-Material Son age.
Machiventa Melchizedek, the only Son of this order to bestow himself upon the Earth races. While still numbered
as a Melchizedek, he has become "forever a minister of the Most Highs," eternally assuming the assignment of service as a
mortal ascender, having sojourned on Earth in the likeness of mortal flesh at Salem in the days of Abraham. This Melchizedek
has been proclaimed vicegerent Planetary Prince of Earth with headquarters on Jerusem and authority to act in behalf of Michael,
who is actually the Planetary Prince of the world whereon he experienced his terminal bestowal in human form. Notwithstanding
this, Earth is still supervised by successive resident governors general, members of the four and twenty counselors.
John the Baptist, the forerunner of Michael's mission on Earth and, in the flesh, distant cousin of the
Son of Man.
Conciliators to the Worlds
Whenever
the supervising personalities of the individual worlds become greatly perplexed or actually deadlocked concerning the proper
procedure under existing circumstances, and if the matter is not of sufficient importance to be brought before the regularly
constituted tribunals of the realm, then, upon the receipt of a petition of two personalities, one from each contention, a
conciliating commission will begin to function. Whenever the supervising personalities of the individual worlds
These
conciliators operate at all levels from the System Headquarters, upward to the Constellation,
the Local Universes, the Super Universe Minor Sectors, the Super Universe Major Sectors, to the Super Universe itself.
When administrative and jurisdictional difficulties have been placed in the hands of the conciliators for study
and adjudication, they are supreme in authority. They do not formulate a decision until all the evidence has been heard. There
is no limit to their authority to call witnesses from anywhere and everywhere. Their decisions may not be appealed.

Interim Government - p.601

Planetary
Government of Earth
Interim
Government
The current government of Earth is temporary due to the emergency situation resulting
from the Lucifer Rebellion that occurred approximately 200,000 years ago. At that time, Lucifer was the System Sovereign ruling
from the local star system headquarters in Jerusem. Lucifer's assistant at the time of his rebellion was Satan. The ruling
Planetary Prince of Earth (Urantia) was Caligastia, who with his assistant, Daligastia, followed Lucifer and Satan into rebellion.
The Acting Planetary Prince
Following the downfall of Prince Caligastia,
Earth had no settled relationship with the local universe and its administrative divisions until the completion of Michael's
bestowal in the flesh, when he was proclaimed Planetary Prince of Earth by the Union of Days,
Authority to act for Michael as Planetary Prince has recently been vested
in Machiventa Melchizedek. As acting Planetary Prince, he will continue in charge of the planet until the final adjudication
of the Lucifer rebellion and probably on into the distant future of planetary settlement in light and life.
Structure of Earth's Interim Government
There exists no formal government along the lines of universe organization,
such as separate legislative, executive, and judicial departments. The absence of a full time Planetary Prince is effectively
compensated for by the triune presence of a Most High observer, a governor general, and archangels.
The governor general is a provisional and advisory chief executive
with the veto power resident in the Most High observer. The twenty-four counselors come the nearest to being the legislative
branch of the planetary government. There are no authoritative judicial powers operative on the planet - only the conciliating
commissions.
The absence of a corporeal staff of a Planetary Prince and the material regime of an Adamic Son and
Daughter is partially compensated by the special ministry of seraphim (angels) and by the unusual services of the midway creatures.
The Most High Observer
There are certain groups of planetary problems which are still under the
control of the Most Highs of Edentia, jurisdiction over them having been seized at the time of the Lucifer rebellion interposing
the superior wisdom of the constellation rulers in the affairs of the kingdoms of men.
The Resident Governor General
Since the times of Michael's bestowal, the general management of Earth has
been entrusted to a special group on Jerusem of twenty-four onetime mortals of Earth.
Every one hundred years of Earth time, the Jerusem corps of twenty-four planetary supervisors designate
one of their number to sojourn on Earth to act as their executive representative, as resident governor general.
The direct administrative cabinet of the governor general consists of twelve seraphim,
the acting chiefs of the twelve groups of special angels functioning as the immediate superhuman directors of planetary progress
and stability.
The angels, assisted by the midwayers, function on Earth as the actual super material ministers who
execute the mandates of the resident governor general and all his associates and subordinates.
The Master Seraphim of Planetary Supervision
These twelve groups of angels, while functioning under the general supervision
of the resident governor general, are immediately directed by the seraphic council of twelve, the acting chiefs of each group.
This council also serves as the volunteer cabinet of the resident governor general.
The twelve corps of the master seraphim of planetary supervision function on Earth as follows:
1. The epochal angels. These celestial ministers are entrusted with the oversight and direction
of the affairs of each generation as they are designed to fit into the mosaic of the age in which they occur.
2. The progress angels. These seraphim are entrusted with the task of initiating the evolutionary
progress of the successive social ages. They labor to make things what they ought to be.
3. The religious guardians. These are the "angels of the churches," the earnest contenders for
that which is and has been. They endeavor to maintain the ideals of that which has survived for the sake of the safe transit
of moral values from one epoch to another. They are the checkmates of the angels of progress.
4. The angels of nation life. These are directors of the political performances of Earth
national life. It is particularly through the ministry of this seraphic division that the Most Highs rule in the kingdoms
of men.
5. The angels of the races. These angels work for the conservation of the evolutionary
races of time, regardless of their political entanglements and religious groupings. On Earth there are remnants of nine human
races which have commingled and combined into the people of modern times.
6. The angels of the future. These are the projection angels. They forecast
a future age and plan for the realization of the better things; they are the architects of the successive eras.
7. The angels of enlightenment. These angels are occupied with mental and
moral training as it concerns individuals, families, groups, schools, communities, nations, and whole races.
8. The angels of health. These are the seraphic ministers assigned to the assistance of those
mortal agencies dedicated to the promotion of health and the prevention of disease.
9. The home seraphim. This group of angelic ministers are dedicated to the preservation and
advancement of the home, the basic institution of human civilization.
10. The angels of industry. This seraphic group is concerned with fostering industrial development
and improving economic conditions among the Earth peoples.
11. The angels of diversion. These are the seraphim who foster the values of play, humor, and rest. They seek
to uplift man's recreational diversions to promote the more profitable utilization of human leisure.
12. The angels of superhuman ministry. These are the angels of the angels, seraphim assigned to the ministry
of all other superhuman life on the planet, temporary or permanent.
The Reserve Corps of Destiny
The reserve corps of destiny consists of living men and women who have been admitted to the
special service of the superhuman administration of world affairs. This corps is made up of the men and women of each generation
who are chosen by the spirit directors of the realm to assist in the conduct of the ministry of mercy and wisdom to the children
of time on the evolutionary worlds.
Twelve groups of Earth destiny reservists are held in readiness to act in possible planetary emergencies.

The Supreme Power Centers
The Seven Supreme Center Supervisors,
as coordinates and associates of the Supreme Power Directors, are the regulators of the master energy circuits of the
grand universe.
The Domains of the Power Centers
The Supreme Power Centers are distributed throughout
the seven super universes. They are all in perfect synchrony and complete liaison with their Paradise progenitors, the Seven
Supreme Power Directors.
Power centers and physical controllers
undergo no training. They are created in perfection and are inherently perfect in action. There is no evolution in their ranks.
They always serve as originally assigned.
Power centers and physical controllers are always on duty. Since there is no provision in the
universal scheme for the interruption of the physical lines of energy, these beings can never relinquish their direct supervision
of the energy circuits of time and space.
The directors, centers, and controllers of power do not originate power, material or semi physical
energy. Rather, they modify, manipulate, and directionize it. Also, they have nothing to do with physical
gravity except to resist its drawing power.
Each individual power center is constituted in exactly one million units of functional control.
These energy-modifying units are not stationary as are the vital organs of man's physical body. These organs of power regulation
are mobile and truly kaleidoscopic in associative possibilities.
Outside of Havona the Supreme Power Centers function only on especially constructed (architectural)
spheres or on otherwise suitably constituted space bodies. The architectural worlds are so constructed that the living power
centers can act as selective switches to directionize, modify, and concentrate the energies of space as they pour over these
spheres. They could not function on an ordinary evolutionary sun or planet.

Super Universe Centers - Scroll to p. 321

Super
Universe Centers
Occupying an enormous area on the capital sphere of each of the seven
super universes are one thousand power centers of the third order.
There is a difference between Havona energy and the energies of the
super universes. The power charge of a super universe consists of three phases of energy of ten segregations each. This threefold
energy charge (from the Paradise Trinity) spreads throughout the space of the grand universe. It is like a vast moving ocean
of energy which engulfs and bathes the whole of each of the seven super creations.
The electronic organization of universe power functions in seven phases
(the seven facets of Trinity relationships - a different phase for each super universe), and discloses varying response to
local or linear gravity.
This sevenfold circuit proceeds from the super universe power centers
and pervades each super creation. Such specialized currents of time and space are definite and localized energy movements
initiated and directed for specific purposes, much as the Gulf Stream functions as a circumscribed phenomenon in the midst
of the Atlantic Ocean.

Energy Control and Regulation - Scroll to p. 175
|
Energy Control in the Super Universes
The universal plan for the maintenance of equilibrium between matter and energy necessitates the everlasting
making and unmaking of the lesser material units.
Evolving energy has substance and weight, although weight is always relative, depending on revolutionary
velocity, mass, and anti-gravity.
Mass in matter tends to retard velocity in energy. The anywhere-present velocity of energy represents:
the initial endowment of velocity, minus retardation by mass encountered in transit, plus the regulatory function of the living
energy controllers of the super universe and the physical influence of near by highly heated or heavily charged bodies.
The headquarters spheres of the super universes are constructed to be able to function
as efficient power-energy regulators for their various sectors, serving as focal points for the directionization of energy
to their component local universes. They exert a powerful influence over the balance and control of the physical energies
circulating through organized space.
Further regulative functions are performed by the super universe power centers and physical controllers,
living and semi-living intelligent entities constituted for this express purpose. These power centers and controllers are
difficult to understand. The lower orders are not volitional. Their functions are very intelligent but apparently automatic
and inherent in their highly specialized organization.
The power centers and physical controllers of the super universes assume direction and partial control of the thirty
energy systems which comprise the gravita domain. The physical-energy circuits administered by the power centers of Uversa
(Super Universe Seven) require a little over 968 million years to complete the encirclement of the super universe.
Given a sufficient duration of retarding influence, gravity would eventually convert all energy into matter
were it not for two factors: first, because of the anti-gravity influences of the energy controllers; and second, because
organized matter tends to disintegrate under certain conditions found in very hot stars and under certain peculiar conditions
in space near highly energized cold bodies of condensed matter.

Master Physical Controllers - Scroll to pp. 324 - 329

The Master Physical
Controllers
The Master Physical Controllers often function in batteries of hundreds, thousands, and even millions. By varying their positions and formations,
they are able to effect energy control in a collective as well as an individual capacity. As requirements vary, they can up
step and accelerate the energy volume and movement or detain, condense, and retard the energy currents.
The Master Physical Controllers serve throughout the grand
universe. They are directly governed from Paradise by the Seven Supreme Power Directors as far as the headquarters of the
super universes; from here they are directed and distributed by the Council of Equilibrium, the high commissioners
of power dispatched by the Seven Master Spirits from the personnel of the Associate Master Force Organizers. The high commissioners
are empowered to interpret the readings and registrations of the master frandalanks, the living instruments that indicate
the power pressure and the energy charge of the entire super universe.
The Master Physical Controllers are
the direct offspring of the Supreme Power Centers. They include the following:
Associate Power Directors
– Assign and dispatch Physical Controllers.
Mechanical Controllers – Provide power and amplification.
Energy Transformers –
Living switches and equalizers.
Energy Transmitters –
Directionalize the flow of energy.
Primary Associators –
Conservators and custodians of energy.
Secondary Dissociators
– Energy reversers.
There is never any danger that the special
or modified forms of physical energy on the local worlds or in the local systems will be exhausted for these living organizations
are endowed with the unique power of evolving limitless supplies of energy. They are the alchemists of space
and the wonder-workers of time.
The Frandalanks –
Living barometers of power pressure and energy charge.
The frandalanks that register time in
addition to quantitative and qualitative energy presence are called chronoldeks.

Local Universe Centers - pp. 321 - 322

Local Universe Centers On the headquarters of each local universe are stationed one hundred power centers of the fourth
order. They function to down step and otherwise to modify the seven power circuits emanating from super universe headquarters,
thus making them applicable to the services of the constellations and systems. These centers are able to provide intensified lanes of energy
useful for interplanetary communication between important inhabited points. Such a lane or line of energy,
sometimes called an energy path, is a direct circuit of energy from one power center to another power center
or from one physical controller to another controller. It is an individualized stream of power and stands in contrast to the
free space movements of undifferentiated energy.

Unclassified Centers These are the living power centers who function in special local
situations but not on the inhabited planets. Individual inhabited planets are in the
charge of Master Physical Controllers and receive the encircuited lines of power dispatched by the power center of
their system. Only those spheres of the most extraordinary energy relationships have power centers of the seventh order acting
as universe balance wheels or energy governors. In every phase of activity these power
centers are the full equals of those who function on the higher units of control, but not one space body in a million harbors
such a living power organization. These power centers together with the Supreme Power
Directors are beings of high will freedom and action. They are all endowed with Third-Source personality (Infinite Spirit)
and disclose unquestioned volitional capacity of a high order. These directing centers of the universe power system are the
possessors of exquisite intelligence endowment. They are the intellect of the power
system of the grand universe and the secret of the technique of the mind control of all the vast network of the far-flung
functions of the Master Physical Controllers and the Morontia Power Supervisors.

Constellation and System Level Centers
Constellation Centers
Ten living power centers are stationed in each constellation, functioning as energy projectors
to the one hundred tributary local systems. From these beings go forth the power lines for communication and transport
and for the energizing of those living creatures who are dependent upon certain forms of physical energy for the maintenance
of life. But neither the power centers nor the subordinate physical controllers are otherwise concerned with life as a
functional organization.
System Centers
One Supreme Power Center is permanently assigned to each local system. These system centers
dispatch the power circuits to the inhabited worlds of time and space. They coordinate the activities of the subordinate
physical controllers and otherwise function to insure the satisfactory distribution of power in the local system.
The circuit relay between the planets depends upon the perfect coordination of certain material
energies and upon the efficient regulation of physical power.

Energy and matter transmutations - pp. 472- 473
|
Energy
and Matter Transmutations
Light, heat, electricity, magnetism,
chemism, energy, and matter are (in origin, nature, and destiny) one and the same thing, together with other material realities
as yet undiscovered on Earth.
The almost endless changes to which physical energy
may be subject are not fully comprehend. For example, in one universe physical energy appears as light, in another as light
plus heat, in another as forms of energy unknown on Earth. In untold millions of years it may reappear as some form of restless,
surging electrical energy or magnetic power. Still later on, it may again appear in a subsequent universe as some form of
variable matter going through a series of metamorphoses, only to be followed by its outward physical disappearance
in some great cataclysm of the realms. And then, after countless ages and almost endless wandering through numberless universes,
this same energy may again re-emerge and many times change its form and potential. These transformations continue through
successive ages and throughout countless realms.
Thus matter sweeps on, undergoing the transmutations
of time but swinging ever true to the circle of eternity. Even if long prevented from returning to its source, it is ever
responsive thereto, and it ever proceeds in the path ordained by the Infinite Personality who sent it forth.
The power centers and their associates
control and compound power by their skillful manipulation of the basic units of materialized energy, the ultimatons. They
are very active in the work of transmuting the ultimaton into the circuits and revolutions of the electron. Their range
of action is enormously curtailed when electronically organized energy swings into the whirls of the atomic systems.
Upon such materialization, these energies fall under the complete grasp of the drawing power of linear gravity.
Throughout all space, cold and other influences are
at work creatively organizing ultimatons into electrons. Heat is the measurement of electronic activity, while cold merely
signifies absence of heat.
Gravity presence and action is what prevents the
appearance of the theoretical absolute zero, for interstellar space does not have the temperature of absolute zero.

Energy Waves
There are one hundred octaves of wave energy in Orvonton (Super Universe Seven). Of these one
hundred groups of energy manifestations, sixty-four are wholly or partially recognized on Earth.
From the standpoint of present Earth scientific enlightenment, wavelike energy manifestations may be classified
into ten groups:
1. Infraultimatonic Rays – These
are borderland revolutions of ultimatons as they begin to assume definite form. This is the first stage of emergent
energy in which wavelike phenomena can be detected and measured.
2. Ultimatonic Rays - The assembly of energy into the minute spheres of the ultimatons occasions vibrations
in the content of space that are discernible and measurable. Long before Earth's physicists discover the ultimaton, they will
detect the phenomena of these rays as they shower in upon Earth. These short and powerful rays represent the initial activity
of the ultimatons.
3. The Short Space Rays - These are the shortest of all purely electronic vibrations and represent the pre-atomic
stage of this form of matter.
4. The Electronic Stage - This stage of energy is the basis of all materialization in the seven super universes.
5. Gamma Rays - The best illustration of this form of electronic activity is in the phenomena associated with radium
disintegration.
6. The X-ray group - The next step in the slowing down of the electron yields the various forms of solar x-rays
together with artificially generated x-rays.
7. This group is the ultraviolet or chemical rays of sunlight and the various mechanical productions.
8. The white light - The whole visible light of the suns.
9. Infrared rays - The slowing down of electronic activity still nearer the stage of appreciable heat.
10. Hertzian waves - The energies utilized on Earth for broadcasting.
Ultimatons, electrons, and other mass aggregations of energy are uniform particles of
matter. In their transit through space they proceed in direct lines except as modified by gravity and other intervening forces.
The spacing of the particle-intervals of matter, together with the initial velocity
of the energy beams, establishes the undulatory wave-like appearance of many forms of energy-matter.

Atomic Matter
The formation of all matter is analogous to the formation of the solar system. There is at the center
of every minute universe of energy a relatively stable, comparatively stationary, nuclear portion of material existence. This
central unit is endowed with a threefold possibility of manifestation. Surrounding this energy center there whirl,
in endless profusion but in fluctuating circuits, the energy units which are faintly comparable to the planets encircling
the sun of some starry group like Earth's own solar system.
The electronic axial revolutions and their orbital velocities about the atomic nucleus are both beyond the human
imagination, not to mention the velocities of their component ultimatons. The positive particles of radium fly off
into space at the rate of ten thousand miles a second, while the negative particles attain a velocity approximating that of
light.
There are just one hundred distinguishable atomic materializations of space-energy in a dual universe; that is
the maximum possible organization of matter in Nebadon (Earth's local universe). These one hundred forms of matter consist
of a regular series in which from one to one hundred electrons revolve around a central and relatively compact nucleus. It
is this orderly and dependable association of various energies that constitutes matter.
Not every world will show one hundred recognizable elements at the surface, but they are somewhere present, have
been present, or are in process of evolution. Conditions surrounding the origin and subsequent evolution of a planet determine
how many of the one hundred atomic types will be observable. The heavier atoms are not found on the surface of many worlds.
Even on Earth the known heavier elements manifest a tendency to fly to pieces, as is illustrated by radium behavior.
Some of the unpredictability of electron behavior is due to the presence of the Unqualified Absolute, differential
ultimatonic axial revolutionary velocities, and to the "huddling" proclivity of ultimatons. Other influences - physical, electrical,
magnetic, and gravitational - also operate to produce variable electronic behavior.
Atoms are similar to persons as to predictability. Statisticians may announce laws governing a large number of
either atoms or persons but not for a single individual atom or person.

Transforming Space Potency to
Life -
An Overview
|
|
|
Primary Eventuated Master Force Organizers
|
The presence of the Primary Eventuated
Master Force Organizers transforms space potency into primordial force (segregata). Their action transforms
force into puissant energy (nebular vortices).
(Space Potency is the space presence
of the Unqualified Absolute.)
|
Associate Transcendental Force Organizers
|
These transformers employ pressure presence and tension trends to cause puissant
energy to respond to Paradise gravity energy (ultimata).
|
Seven Supreme Power Directors
|
Stationed on peripheral Paradise. the Power Directors assume control over 21
phases of energy and direct energy into three phases of 10 segments each. Universe power (gravita) is changed by linear gravity.
(Linear gravity is the effect of the
Unqualified Absolute stretching the force of Paradise to the edge of the Grand Universe.)
|
Seven Supreme Power Centers
|
The Supreme Power Centers are associates of the Power Directors. They
function at many levels throughout the Seven Super Universes.
The purpose of the Supreme Power Directors and Centers is to maintain equilibrium
between energy and matter through the constant making and unmaking of ultimatons.
Details.
|
Master Physical Controllers
|
Mobile subordinates of the Supreme Power Centers who serve throughout the Grand
Universe, the Master Physical Controllers make energy adustments transforming ultimatons to electrons and atoms forming local universes with stars, galaxies of stars, nebulae, constellations, star systems
and planets.

Universe levels of reality - p. 1162
|
The present grand universe and the emerging master universe
are made up of many forms and phases of reality that exist on several levels of functional activity.
Incomplete finites is the term used to describe the present status of the ascending creatures of the grand universe (the
present status of Earth mortals). This level embraces creature existence from the planetary human up to, but not including,
destiny attainers. It pertains to universes from early physical beginnings up to, but not including, settlement in
light and life.
Maximum finites describes the present status of all experiential creatures who have attained destiny as
revealed within the scope of the present universe age. Even universes can attain to the maximum of status, both spiritually
and physically.

The Seven Psychic Circles - pp. 1209-1212
|
There is a parallel between the seven psychic circles for individuals
and the ages of light and life for a planet and the larger organizations of planets and stars.
The
first principle of embryology (the branch of biology that deals with the formation, early growth, and development
of living organisms) is that ontogeny ( the origin and development
of an individual organism from embryo to adult) recapitulates phylogeny (the historical development of a tribe or
racial group). The evolutionary history of the individual rehearses that of the planet.
Mortals
achieve soul conception and ascend the seven psychic circles through the combined ministries of the indwelling Thought Adjuster
Father fragment, the Creator Son's Spirit of Truth, the Mother Spirit's seven adjutant mind circuits and the ministry and
service of her angels, and the midwayers.
The successful traversal of the the levels
of the seven psychic circles demands the harmonious functioning of the entire personality. The growth of the parts
does not equal the true maturation of the whole. The parts really grow in proportion to the expansion of the whole
self - material, intellectual, and spiritual.

|
The Evolutionary Idea - p. 360
|
The creations of the seven super
universes are finite, evolutionary, and consistently progressive.
A local universe is not settled in light and life until its physical possibilities
of expansion and development have been exhausted, and until the spiritual status of all its inhabited worlds has been forever
settled and stabilized.

The meaning of love - p. 648
|
To finite man, truth, beauty and goodness embrace the full
revelation of divinity reality. As this love-comprehension of Deity finds spiritual expression in the lives of God-knowing
mortals, there are yielded the fruits of divinity: intellectual peace, social progress, moral satisfaction, spiritual joy,
and cosmic wisdom. The advanced mortals on a world in the seventh stage of light and life have learned that love is the greatest
thing in the universe - and they know that God is love.
Love is the
sense of underlying oneness with the desire to do good to all others.

The History of the Colored
Races on Earth
|
|
|
|
|
Normally, on an evolutionary
planet, the six evolutionary races of color appear one by one. The red man is the first to evolve, and for ages he roams the
world before the succeeding colored races make their appearance.
On Earth, 500,000 years ago among the Badonan tribes of the northwestern
highlands of India, there was a strange occurrence. A man and woman living in the northeastern part of the then inhabited
highland region began suddenly to produce a family of unusually intelligent colored children. This was the Sangik family, the ancestors
of all of the original six colored races of Earth (Urantia).

Adam and Eve arrive on Earth. The Adams and Eves are the origin of the violet race on all inhabited worlds.
The so-called white races of Earth are the descendants of the blue men as they were first modified
by slight mixture with yellow
and red, and as they were later greatly upstepped by assimilating the greater portion of the violet race.
