The Seven Supreme Spirit Groups

Divine Counselor

17:0.1The seven Su­preme Spirit groups are the uni­ver­sal co-or­di­nat­ing di­rec­tors of the seven-seg­mented ad­min­is­tra­tion of the grand uni­verse. Al­though all are classed among the func­tional fam­ily of the In­fi­nite Spirit, the fol­low­ing three groups are usu­ally clas­si­fied as chil­dren of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity:

17:0.21. The Seven Mas­ter Spir­its.

17:0.32. The Seven Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives.

17:0.43. The Re­flec­tive Spir­its.

17:0.5The re­main­ing four groups are brought into be­ing by the cre­ative acts of the In­fi­nite Spirit or by his as­so­ciates of cre­ative sta­tus:

17:0.64. The Re­flec­tive Im­age Aids.

17:0.75. The Seven Spir­its of the Cir­cuits.

17:0.86. The Lo­cal Uni­verse Cre­ative Spir­its.

17:0.97. The Ad­ju­tant Mind-Spir­its.

17:0.10These seven or­ders are known on Uversa as the seven Su­preme Spirit groups. Their func­tional do­main ex­tends from the per­sonal pres­ence of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its on the pe­riph­ery of the eter­nal Isle, through the seven Par­a­dise satel­lites of the Spirit, the Ha­vona cir­cuits, the gov­ern­ments of the super­uni­verses, and the ad­min­is­tra­tion and super­vi­sion of the lo­cal uni­verses, even to the lowly ser­vice of the ad­ju­tants be­stowed upon the realms of evo­lu­tion­ary mind on the worlds of time and space.

17:0.11The Seven Mas­ter Spir­its are the co-or­di­nat­ing di­rec­tors of this far-flung ad­min­is­tra­tive realm. In some mat­ters per­tain­ing to the ad­min­is­tra­tive reg­u­la­tion of or­ga­nized phys­i­cal power, mind en­ergy, and im­per­sonal spirit min­istry, they act per­son­ally and di­rectly, and in oth­ers they func­tion through their mul­ti­far­i­ous as­so­ciates. In all mat­ters of an ex­ec­u­tive na­ture—rul­ings, reg­u­la­tions, ad­just­ments, and ad­min­is­tra­tive de­ci­sions—the Mas­ter Spir­its act in the per­sons of the Seven Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives. In the cen­tral uni­verse the Mas­ter Spir­its may func­tion through the Seven Spir­its of the Ha­vona Cir­cuits; on the head­quar­ters of the seven super­uni­verses they re­veal them­selves through the chan­nel of the Re­flec­tive Spir­its and act through the per­sons of the An­cients of Days, with whom they are in per­sonal com­mu­ni­ca­tion through the Re­flec­tive Im­age Aids.

17:0.12The Seven Mas­ter Spir­its do not di­rectly and per­son­ally con­tact uni­verse ad­min­is­tra­tion be­low the courts of the An­cients of Days. Your lo­cal uni­verse is ad­min­is­tered as a part of our super­uni­verse by the Mas­ter Spirit of Or­von­ton, but his func­tion in re­la­tion to the na­tive be­ings of Neb­a­don is im­me­di­ately dis­charged and per­son­ally di­rected by the Cre­ative Mother Spirit res­i­dent on Sal­ving­ton, the head­quar­ters of your lo­cal uni­verse.
