Paper 19

The Co-ordinate Trinity-Origin Beings

Divine Counselor

7. Paradise Citizens

19:7.1There are res­i­dent on Par­a­dise nu­mer­ous groups of su­perb be­ings, the Par­a­dise Cit­i­zens. They are not di­rectly con­cerned with the scheme of per­fect­ing as­cend­ing will crea­tures and are not, there­fore, fully re­vealed to Uran­tia mor­tals. There are more than three thou­sand or­ders of these su­per­nal in­tel­li­gences, the last group hav­ing been per­son­al­ized si­mul­ta­ne­ously with the man­date of the Trin­ity which pro­mul­gated the cre­ative plan of the seven super­uni­verses of time and space.

19:7.2Par­a­dise Cit­i­zens and Ha­vona na­tives are some­times des­ig­nated col­lec­tively as Par­a­dise-Ha­vona per­son­al­i­ties.

19:7.3This com­pletes the story of those be­ings who are brought into ex­is­tence by the Par­a­dise Trin­ity. None of them have ever gone astray. And yet, in the high­est sense, they are all free­will en­dowed.

19:7.4Trin­ity-ori­gin be­ings pos­sess pre­rog­a­tives of tran­sit which make them in­de­pen­dent of trans­port per­son­al­i­ties, such as ser­a­phim. We all pos­sess the power of mov­ing about freely and quickly in the uni­verse of uni­verses. Ex­cept­ing the In­spired Trin­ity Spir­its, we can­not at­tain the al­most un­be­liev­able ve­loc­ity of the Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers, but we are able so to uti­lize the sum to­tal of the trans­port fa­cil­i­ties in space that we can reach any point in a super­uni­verse, from its head­quar­ters, in less than one year of Uran­tia time. It re­quired 109 days of your time for me to jour­ney from Uversa to Uran­tia.

19:7.5Through these same av­enues we are en­abled to in­ter­com­mu­ni­cate in­stan­ta­neously. Our en­tire or­der of cre­ation finds it­self in touch with ev­ery in­di­vid­ual em­braced within ev­ery di­vi­sion of the chil­dren of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity save only the In­spired Spir­its.
