The Seven Superuniverses

Universal Censor

13. The Sector Governments

15:13.1A ma­jor sec­tor com­prises about one tenth of a super­uni­verse and con­sists of one hun­dred mi­nor sec­tors, ten thou­sand lo­cal uni­verses, about one hun­dred bil­lion in­hab­it­able worlds. These ma­jor sec­tors are ad­min­is­tered by three Per­fec­tions of Days, Su­preme Trin­ity Per­son­al­i­ties.

15:13.2The courts of the Per­fec­tions of Days are con­sti­tuted much as are those of the An­cients of Days ex­cept that they do not sit in spir­i­tual judg­ment upon the realms. The work of these ma­jor sec­tor gov­ern­ments has chiefly to do with the in­tel­lec­tual sta­tus of a far-flung cre­ation. The ma­jor sec­tors de­tain, ad­ju­di­cate, dis­pense, and tab­u­late, for re­port­ing to the courts of the An­cients of Days, all mat­ters of super­uni­verse im­por­tance of a rou­tine and ad­min­is­tra­tive na­ture which are not im­me­di­ately con­cerned with the spir­i­tual ad­min­is­tra­tion of the realms or with the out­work­ing of the mor­tal-as­cen­sion plans of the Par­a­dise Rulers. The per­son­nel of a ma­jor sec­tor gov­ern­ment is no dif­fer­ent from that of the super­uni­verse.

15:13.3As the mag­nif­i­cent satel­lites of Uversa are con­cerned with your fi­nal spir­i­tual prepa­ra­tion for Ha­vona, so are the sev­enty satel­lites of Uma­jor the fifth de­voted to your super­uni­verse in­tel­lec­tual train­ing and de­vel­op­ment. From all Or­von­ton, here are gath­ered to­gether the wise be­ings who la­bor un­tir­ingly to pre­pare the mor­tals of time for their fur­ther prog­ress to­wards the ca­reer of eter­nity. Most of this train­ing of as­cend­ing mor­tals is con­ducted on the sev­enty study worlds.

15:13.4The mi­nor sec­tor gov­ern­ments are pre­sided over by three Re­cents of Days. Their ad­min­is­tra­tion is con­cerned mainly with the phys­i­cal con­trol, uni­fi­ca­tion, sta­bi­liza­tion, and rou­tine co-or­di­na­tion of the ad­min­is­tra­tion of the com­po­nent lo­cal uni­verses. Each mi­nor sec­tor em­braces as many as one hun­dred lo­cal uni­verses, ten thou­sand con­stel­la­tions, one mil­lion sys­tems, or about one bil­lion in­hab­it­able worlds.

15:13.5Mi­nor sec­tor head­quar­ters worlds are the grand ren­dezvous of the Mas­ter Phys­i­cal Con­trol­lers. These head­quar­ters worlds are sur­rounded by the seven in­struc­tion spheres which con­sti­tute the en­trance schools of the super­uni­verse and are the cen­ters of train­ing for phys­i­cal and ad­min­is­tra­tive knowl­edge con­cern­ing the uni­verse of uni­verses.

15:13.6The ad­min­is­tra­tors of the mi­nor sec­tor gov­ern­ments are un­der the im­me­di­ate ju­ris­dic­tion of the ma­jor sec­tor rulers. The Re­cents of Days re­ceive all re­ports of ob­ser­va­tions and co-or­di­nate all rec­om­men­da­tions which come up to a super­uni­verse from the Unions of Days who are sta­tioned as Trin­ity ob­servers and ad­vis­ers on the head­quar­ters spheres of the lo­cal uni­verses and from the Faith­fuls of Days who are sim­i­larly at­tached to the coun­cils of the Most Highs at the head­quar­ters of the con­stel­la­tions. All such re­ports are trans­mit­ted to the Per­fec­tions of Days on the ma­jor sec­tors, sub­se­quently to be passed on to the courts of the An­cients of Days. Thus the Trin­ity regime ex­tends from the con­stel­la­tions of the lo­cal uni­verses up to the head­quar­ters of the super­uni­verse. The lo­cal sys­tem head­quar­ters do not have Trin­ity rep­re­sen­ta­tives.
