The Co-ordinate Trinity-Origin Beings

19:4.1There are ex­actly eight bil­lion Uni­ver­sal Cen­sors in ex­is­tence. These unique be­ings are the judg­ment of De­ity. They are not merely re­flec­tive of the de­ci­sions of per­fec­tion; they are the judg­ment of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity. Even the An­cients of Days do not sit in judg­ment ex­cept in as­so­ci­a­tion with the Uni­ver­sal Cen­sors.

19:4.2One Cen­sor is com­mis­sioned on each of the bil­lion worlds of the cen­tral uni­verse, be­ing at­tached to the plan­e­tary ad­min­is­tra­tion of the res­i­dent Eter­nal of Days. Nei­ther Per­fec­tors of Wis­dom nor Di­vine Coun­selors are thus per­ma­nently at­tached to the Ha­vona ad­min­is­tra­tions, nor do we al­to­gether un­der­stand why Uni­ver­sal Cen­sors are sta­tioned in the cen­tral uni­verse. Their pres­ent ac­tiv­i­ties hardly ac­count for their as­sign­ment in Ha­vona, and we there­fore sus­pect that they are there in an­tic­i­pa­tion of the needs of some fu­ture uni­verse age in which the Ha­vona pop­u­la­tion may par­tially change.

19:4.3One bil­lion Cen­sors are as­signed to each of the seven super­uni­verses. Both in an in­di­vid­ual ca­pac­ity and in as­so­ci­a­tion with Per­fec­tors of Wis­dom and Di­vine Coun­selors, they op­er­ate through­out all di­vi­sions of the seven super­uni­verses. Thus the Cen­sors act on all lev­els of the grand uni­verse, from the per­fect worlds of Ha­vona to the coun­cils of the Sys­tem Sov­er­eigns, and they are an or­ganic part of all dis­pen­sa­tional ad­ju­di­ca­tions of the evo­lu­tion­ary worlds.

19:4.4When­ever and wher­ever a Uni­ver­sal Cen­sor is pres­ent, then and there is the judg­ment of De­ity. And since the Cen­sors al­ways ren­der their ver­dicts in li­ai­son with Per­fec­tors of Wis­dom and Di­vine Coun­selors, such de­ci­sions em­brace the united wis­dom, coun­sel, and judg­ment of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity. In this ju­ridi­cal trio the Per­fec­tor of Wis­dom would be the “I was,” the Di­vine Coun­selor the “I will be,” but the Uni­ver­sal Cen­sor is al­ways “I am.”

19:4.5The Cen­sors are uni­verse to­tal­ing per­son­al­i­ties. When a thou­sand wit­nesses have given tes­ti­mony—or a mil­lion—when the voice of wis­dom has spo­ken and the coun­sel of di­vin­ity has re­corded, when the tes­ti­mony of as­cen­dant per­fec­tion has been added, then the Cen­sor func­tions, and there is im­me­di­ately re­vealed an unerring and di­vine to­tal­ing of all that has tran­spired; and such a dis­clo­sure rep­re­sents the di­vine con­clu­sion, the sum and sub­stance of a fi­nal and per­fect de­ci­sion. There­fore, when a Cen­sor has spo­ken, no one else may speak, for the Cen­sor has de­picted the true and un­mis­tak­able to­tal of all that has gone be­fore. When he speaks, there is no ap­peal.

19:4.6Most fully do I un­der­stand the op­er­a­tion of the mind of a Per­fec­tor of Wis­dom, but I cer­tainly do not fully com­pre­hend the work­ing of the ad­ju­di­cat­ing mind of a Uni­ver­sal Cen­sor. It ap­pears to me that the Cen­sors for­mu­late new mean­ings and orig­i­nate new val­ues from the as­so­ci­a­tion of the facts, truths, and find­ings pre­sented to them in the course of an in­ves­ti­ga­tion of uni­verse af­fairs. It seems prob­a­ble that the Uni­ver­sal Cen­sors are able to bring forth orig­i­nal in­ter­pre­ta­tions of the com­bi­na­tion of per­fect Cre­ator in­sight and the per­fected crea­ture ex­pe­ri­ence. This as­so­ci­a­tion of Par­a­dise per­fec­tion and uni­verse ex­pe­ri­ence un­doubt­edly even­tu­ates a new value in ul­ti­mates.

19:4.7But this is not the end of our dif­fi­cul­ties re­gard­ing the work­ing of the minds of the Uni­ver­sal Cen­sors. Hav­ing made due al­lowances for all that we know or con­jec­ture about the func­tion­ing of a Cen­sor in any given uni­verse sit­u­a­tion, we find that we are still un­able to pre­dict de­ci­sions or to fore­cast ver­dicts. We very ac­cu­rately de­ter­mine the prob­a­ble re­sult of the as­so­ci­a­tion of Cre­ator at­ti­tude and crea­ture ex­pe­ri­ence, but such con­clu­sions are not al­ways ac­cu­rate fore­casts of Cen­sor dis­clo­sures. It seems likely that the Cen­sors are in some man­ner in li­ai­son with the De­ity Ab­so­lute; we are oth­er­wise un­able to ex­plain many of their de­ci­sions and rul­ings.

19:4.8Per­fec­tors of Wis­dom, Di­vine Coun­selors, and Uni­ver­sal Cen­sors, to­gether with the seven or­ders of Su­preme Trin­ity Per­son­al­i­ties, con­sti­tute those ten groups which have been some­times des­ig­nated Sta­tion­ary Sons of the Trin­ity. To­gether they com­prise the grand corps of Trin­ity ad­min­is­tra­tors, rulers, ex­ec­u­tives, ad­vis­ers, coun­selors, and judges. Their num­bers slightly ex­ceed thirty-seven bil­lion. Two bil­lion and sev­enty are sta­tioned in the cen­tral uni­verse and just over five bil­lion in each super­uni­verse.

19:4.9It is very dif­fi­cult to por­tray the func­tional lim­its of the Sta­tion­ary Sons of the Trin­ity. It would be in­cor­rect to state that their acts are fi­nite lim­ited, for there are trans­ac­tions of super­uni­verse rec­ord which in­di­cate oth­er­wise. They act on any level of uni­verse ad­min­is­tra­tion or ad­ju­di­ca­tion that may be re­quired by time-space con­di­tions and that per­tains to the past, pres­ent, and fu­ture evo­lu­tion of the mas­ter uni­verse.
