Paper 19

The Co-ordinate Trinity-Origin Beings

Divine Counselor

6. Havona Natives

19:6.1The Ha­vona na­tives are the di­rect cre­ation of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity, and their num­ber is be­yond the con­cept of your cir­cum­scribed minds. Nei­ther is it pos­si­ble for Uran­tians to con­ceive of the in­her­ent en­dow­ments of such di­vinely per­fect crea­tures as these Trin­ity-ori­gin races of the eter­nal uni­verse. You can never truly en­vis­age these glo­ri­ous crea­tures; you must await your ar­rival in Ha­vona, when you can greet them as spirit com­rades.

19:6.2Dur­ing your long so­journ on the bil­lion worlds of Ha­vona cul­ture you will de­velop an eter­nal friend­ship for these su­perb be­ings. And how deep is that friend­ship which grows up be­tween the low­est per­sonal crea­ture from the worlds of space and these high per­sonal be­ings na­tive to the per­fect spheres of the cen­tral uni­verse! As­cend­ing mor­tals, in their long and lov­ing as­so­ci­a­tion with the Ha­vona na­tives, do much to com­pen­sate for the spir­i­tual im­pov­er­ish­ment of the ear­lier stages of mor­tal pro­gres­sion. At the same time, through their con­tacts with as­cend­ing pil­grims, the Havon­ers gain an ex­pe­ri­ence which to no small ex­tent over­comes the ex­pe­ri­en­tial hand­i­cap of hav­ing al­ways lived a life of di­vine per­fec­tion. The good to both as­cend­ing mor­tal and Ha­vona na­tive is great and mu­tual.

19:6.3Ha­vona na­tives, like all other Trin­ity-ori­gin per­son­al­i­ties, are pro­jected in di­vine per­fec­tion, and as with other Trin­ity-ori­gin per­son­al­i­ties, the pass­ing of time may add to their stores of ex­pe­ri­en­tial en­dow­ments. But un­like the Sta­tion­ary Sons of the Trin­ity, Havon­ers may evolve in sta­tus, may have an un­re­vealed fu­ture eter­nity-des­tiny. This is il­lus­trated by those Havon­ers who ser­vice-fac­tu­al­ize ca­pac­ity for fu­sion with a non-Ad­juster Fa­ther frag­ment and so qual­ify for mem­ber­ship in the Mor­tal Corps of the Fi­nal­ity. And there are other fi­nal­i­ter corps open to these na­tives of the cen­tral uni­verse.

19:6.4The sta­tus evo­lu­tion of Ha­vona na­tives has oc­ca­sioned much spec­u­la­tion on Uversa. Since they are con­stantly fil­ter­ing into the sev­eral Par­a­dise Corps of the Fi­nal­ity, and since no more are be­ing cre­ated, it is ap­par­ent that the num­ber of na­tives re­main­ing in Ha­vona is con­stantly di­min­ish­ing. The ul­ti­mate con­se­quences of these trans­ac­tions have never been re­vealed to us, but we do not be­lieve that Ha­vona will ever be en­tirely de­pleted of its na­tives. We have en­ter­tained the the­ory that Havon­ers will pos­si­bly cease en­ter­ing the fi­nal­i­ter corps some­time dur­ing the ages of the suc­ces­sive cre­ations of the outer space lev­els. We have also en­ter­tained the thought that in these sub­se­quent uni­verse ages the cen­tral uni­verse may be peo­pled by a mixed group of res­i­dent be­ings, a cit­i­zen­ship con­sist­ing only in part of the orig­i­nal Ha­vona na­tives. We do not know what or­der or type of crea­ture may be thus des­tined to res­i­den­tial sta­tus in the fu­ture Ha­vona, but we have thought of:

19:6.51. The uni­v­i­ta­tia, who are at pres­ent the per­ma­nent cit­i­zens of the lo­cal uni­verse con­stel­la­tions.

19:6.62. Fu­ture types of mor­tals who may be born on the in­hab­ited spheres of the super­uni­verses in the flow­er­ing of the ages of light and life.

19:6.73. The in­com­ing spir­i­tual aris­toc­racy of the suc­ces­sive outer uni­verses.

19:6.8We know that the Ha­vona of the pre­vi­ous uni­verse age was some­what dif­fer­ent from the Ha­vona of the pres­ent age. We deem it no more than rea­son­able to as­sume that we are now wit­ness­ing those slow changes in the cen­tral uni­verse that are an­tic­i­pa­tory of the ages to come. One thing is cer­tain: The uni­verse is non­static; only God is change­less.
