The Seven Master Spirits

16:1.1The Con­joint Cre­ator, the In­fi­nite Spirit, is nec­es­sary to the com­ple­tion of the tri­une per­son­al­iza­tion of un­di­vided De­ity. This three­fold De­ity per­son­al­iza­tion is in­her­ently sev­en­fold in pos­si­bil­ity of in­di­vid­ual and as­so­cia­tive ex­pres­sion; hence the sub­se­quent plan to cre­ate uni­verses in­hab­ited by in­tel­li­gent and po­ten­tially spir­i­tual be­ings, duly ex­pres­sive of the Fa­ther, Son, and Spirit, made the per­son­al­iza­tion of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its in­es­cap­able. We have come to speak of the three­fold per­son­al­iza­tion of De­ity as the ab­so­lute in­evitabil­ity, while we have come to look upon the ap­pear­ance of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its as the sub­ab­so­lute in­evitabil­ity.

16:1.2While the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its are hardly ex­pres­sive of three­fold De­ity, they are the eter­nal por­trayal of sev­en­fold De­ity, the ac­tive and as­so­cia­tive func­tions of the three ever-ex­is­tent per­sons of De­ity. By and in and through these Seven Spir­its, the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther, the Eter­nal Son, or the In­fi­nite Spirit, or any dual as­so­ci­a­tion, is able to func­tion as such. When the Fa­ther, the Son, and the Spirit act to­gether, they can and do func­tion through Mas­ter Spirit Num­ber Seven, but not as the Trin­ity. The Mas­ter Spir­its singly and col­lec­tively rep­re­sent any and all pos­si­ble De­ity func­tions, sin­gle and sev­eral, but not col­lec­tive, not the Trin­ity. Mas­ter Spirit Num­ber Seven is per­son­ally non­func­tional with re­gard to the Par­a­dise Trin­ity, and that is just why he can func­tion per­son­ally for the Su­preme Be­ing.

16:1.3But when the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its va­cate their in­di­vid­ual seats of per­sonal power and super­uni­verse au­thor­ity and as­sem­ble about the Con­joint Ac­tor in the tri­une pres­ence of Par­a­dise De­ity, then and there are they col­lec­tively rep­re­sen­ta­tive of the func­tional power, wis­dom, and au­thor­ity of un­di­vided De­ity—the Trin­ity—to and in the evolv­ing uni­verses. Such a Par­a­dise union of the pri­mal sev­en­fold ex­pres­sion of De­ity does ac­tu­ally em­brace, lit­er­ally en­com­pass, all of ev­ery at­tri­bute and at­ti­tude of the three eter­nal De­i­ties in Su­prem­acy and in Ul­ti­macy. To all prac­ti­cal in­tents and pur­poses the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its do, then and there, en­com­pass the func­tional do­main of the Su­preme-Ul­ti­mate to and in the mas­ter uni­verse.

16:1.4As far as we can dis­cern, these Seven Spir­its are as­so­ci­ated with the di­vine ac­tiv­i­ties of the three eter­nal per­sons of De­ity; we de­tect no ev­i­dence of di­rect as­so­ci­a­tion with the func­tion­ing pres­ences of the three eter­nal phases of the Ab­so­lute. When as­so­ci­ated, the Mas­ter Spir­its rep­re­sent the Par­a­dise De­i­ties in what may be roughly con­ceived as the fi­nite do­main of ac­tion. It might em­brace much that is ul­ti­mate but not ab­so­lute.
