5. The Seven Spirits of the Circuits

17:5.1The Seven Spir­its of the Ha­vona Cir­cuits are the joint im­per­sonal rep­re­sen­ta­tion of the In­fi­nite Spirit and the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its to the seven cir­cuits of the cen­tral uni­verse. They are the ser­vants of the Mas­ter Spir­its, whose col­lec­tive off­spring they are. The Mas­ter Spir­its pro­vide a dis­tinct and di­ver­si­fied ad­min­is­tra­tive in­di­vid­u­al­ity in the seven super­uni­verses. Through these uni­form Spir­its of the Ha­vona Cir­cuits they are en­abled to pro­vide a uni­fied, uni­form, and co-or­di­nated spir­i­tual super­vi­sion for the cen­tral uni­verse.

17:5.2The Seven Spir­its of the Cir­cuits are each lim­ited to the per­me­ation of a sin­gle Ha­vona cir­cuit. They are not di­rectly con­cerned with the regimes of the Eter­nals of Days, the rulers of the in­di­vid­ual Ha­vona worlds. But they are in li­ai­son with the Seven Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives, and they syn­chro­nize with the cen­tral uni­verse pres­ence of the Su­preme Be­ing. Their work is wholly con­fined to Ha­vona.

17:5.3These Spir­its of the Cir­cuits make con­tact with those who so­journ in Ha­vona through their per­sonal off­spring, the ter­tiary super­na­phim. While the Cir­cuit Spir­its are co­ex­is­tent with the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its, their func­tion in the cre­ation of ter­tiary super­na­phim did not at­tain ma­jor im­por­tance un­til the first pil­grims of time ar­rived on the outer cir­cuit of Ha­vona in the days of Grand­fanda.

17:5.4As you ad­vance from cir­cuit to cir­cuit in Ha­vona, you will learn of the Spir­its of the Cir­cuits, but you will not be able to hold per­sonal com­mu­nion with them, even though you may per­son­ally en­joy, and rec­og­nize the im­per­sonal pres­ence of, their spir­i­tual in­flu­ence.

17:5.5The Cir­cuit Spir­its are re­lated to the na­tive in­hab­i­tants of Ha­vona much as the Thought Ad­justers are re­lated to the mor­tal crea­tures in­hab­it­ing the worlds of the evo­lu­tion­ary uni­verses. Like the Thought Ad­justers, the Cir­cuit Spir­its are im­per­sonal, and they con­sort with the per­fect minds of Ha­vona be­ings much as the im­per­sonal spir­its of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther in­dwell the fi­nite minds of mor­tal men. But the Spir­its of the Cir­cuits never be­come a per­ma­nent part of Ha­vona per­son­al­i­ties.
