The Sacred Spheres of Paradise

13:4.1Be­tween the in­ner cir­cuit of Ha­vona and the shin­ing spheres of the Eter­nal Son there cir­cle the seven orbs of the In­fi­nite Spirit, worlds in­hab­ited by the off­spring of the In­fi­nite Spirit, by the trin­i­tized sons of glo­ri­fied cre­ated per­son­al­i­ties, and by other types of un­re­vealed be­ings con­cerned with the ef­fec­tive ad­min­is­tra­tion of the many en­ter­prises of the var­i­ous realms of uni­verse ac­tiv­i­ties.

13:4.2The Seven Mas­ter Spir­its are the su­preme and ul­ti­mate rep­re­sen­ta­tives of the In­fi­nite Spirit. They main­tain their per­sonal sta­tions, their power fo­cuses, on the pe­riph­ery of Par­a­dise, but all op­er­a­tions con­cerned with their man­age­ment and di­rec­tion of the grand uni­verse are con­ducted on and from these seven spe­cial ex­ec­u­tive spheres of the In­fi­nite Spirit. The Seven Mas­ter Spir­its are, in re­al­ity, the mind-spirit bal­ance wheel of the uni­verse of uni­verses, an all-em­brac­ing, all-en­com­pass­ing, and all-co-or­di­nat­ing power of cen­tral lo­ca­tion.

13:4.3From these seven spe­cial spheres the Mas­ter Spir­its op­er­ate to equal­ize and sta­bi­lize the cos­mic-mind cir­cuits of the grand uni­verse. They also have to do with the dif­fer­en­tial spir­i­tual at­ti­tude and pres­ence of the De­i­ties through­out the grand uni­verse. Phys­i­cal re­ac­tions are uni­form, un­vary­ing, and al­ways in­stan­ta­neous and au­to­matic. But ex­pe­ri­en­tial spir­i­tual pres­ence is in ac­cor­dance with the un­der­ly­ing con­di­tions or states of spir­i­tual re­cep­tiv­ity in­her­ent in the in­di­vid­ual minds of the realms.

13:4.4Phys­i­cal au­thor­ity, pres­ence, and func­tion are un­vary­ing in all the uni­verses, small or great. The dif­fer­ing fac­tor in spir­i­tual pres­ence, or re­ac­tion, is the fluc­tu­at­ing dif­fer­en­tial in its rec­og­ni­tion and re­cep­tion by will crea­tures. Whereas the spir­i­tual pres­ence of ab­so­lute and ex­is­ten­tial De­ity is in no man­ner what­ever in­flu­enced by at­ti­tudes of loy­alty or dis­loy­alty on the part of cre­ated be­ings, at the same time it is true that the func­tion­ing pres­ence of sub­ab­so­lute and ex­pe­ri­en­tial De­ity is def­i­nitely and di­rectly in­flu­enced by the de­ci­sions, choices, and will-at­ti­tudes of such fi­nite crea­ture be­ings—by the loy­alty and de­vo­tion of the in­di­vid­ual be­ing, planet, sys­tem, con­stel­la­tion, or uni­verse. But this spir­i­tual pres­ence of di­vin­ity is not whim­si­cal nor ar­bi­trary; its ex­pe­ri­en­tial vari­ance is in­her­ent in the free­will en­dow­ment of per­sonal crea­tures.

13:4.5The de­ter­miner of the dif­fer­en­tial of spir­i­tual pres­ence ex­ists in your own hearts and minds and con­sists in the man­ner of your own choos­ing, in the de­ci­sions of your minds, and in the de­ter­mi­na­tion of your own wills. This dif­fer­en­tial is in­her­ent in the free­will re­ac­tions of in­tel­li­gent per­sonal be­ings, be­ings whom the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther has or­dained shall ex­er­cise this lib­erty of choos­ing. And the De­i­ties are ever true to the ebb and flow of their spir­its in meet­ing and sat­is­fy­ing the con­di­tions and de­mands of this dif­fer­en­tial of crea­ture choice, now be­stow­ing more of their pres­ence in re­sponse to a sin­cere de­sire for the same and again with­draw­ing them­selves from the scene as their crea­tures de­cide ad­versely in the ex­er­cise of their di­vinely be­stowed free­dom of choice. And thus does the spirit of di­vin­ity be­come humbly obe­di­ent to the choos­ing of the crea­tures of the realms.

13:4.6The ex­ec­u­tive abodes of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its are, in re­al­ity, the Par­a­dise head­quar­ters of the seven super­uni­verses and their cor­re­lated seg­ments in outer space. Each Mas­ter Spirit pre­sides over one super­uni­verse, and each of these seven worlds is ex­clu­sively as­signed to one of the Mas­ter Spir­its. There is lit­er­ally no phase of the sub-Par­a­dise ad­min­is­tra­tion of the seven super­uni­verses which is not pro­vided for on these ex­ec­u­tive worlds. They are not so ex­clu­sive as the spheres of the Fa­ther or those of the Son, and though res­i­den­tial sta­tus is lim­ited to na­tive be­ings and those who work thereon, these seven ad­min­is­tra­tive plan­ets are al­ways open to all be­ings who de­sire to visit them, and who can com­mand the nec­es­sary means of tran­sit.

13:4.7To me, these ex­ec­u­tive worlds are the most in­ter­est­ing and in­trigu­ing spots out­side of Par­a­dise. In no other place in the wide uni­verse can one ob­serve such var­ied ac­tiv­i­ties, in­volv­ing so many dif­fer­ent or­ders of liv­ing be­ings, hav­ing to do with op­er­a­tions on so many di­verse lev­els, oc­cu­pa­tions at once ma­te­rial, in­tel­lec­tual, and spir­i­tual. When I am ac­corded a pe­riod of re­lease from as­sign­ment, if I chance to be on Par­a­dise or in Ha­vona, I usu­ally pro­ceed to one of these busy worlds of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its, there to in­spire my mind with such spec­ta­cles of en­ter­prise, de­vo­tion, loy­alty, wis­dom, and ef­fec­tive­ness. Nowhere else can I ob­serve such an amaz­ing in­teras­so­ci­a­tion of per­son­al­ity per­for­mances on all seven lev­els of uni­verse re­al­ity. And I am al­ways stim­u­lated by the ac­tiv­i­ties of those who well know how to do their work, and who so thor­oughly en­joy do­ing it.
