The Paradise Creator Sons

21:3.1A Cre­ator Son is given the range of a uni­verse by the con­sent of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity and with the con­fir­ma­tion of the super­vis­ing Mas­ter Spirit of the super­uni­verse con­cerned. Such ac­tion con­sti­tutes ti­tle of phys­i­cal pos­ses­sion, a cos­mic lease­hold. But the el­e­va­tion of a Mi­chael Son from this ini­tial and self-lim­ited stage of ruler­ship to the ex­pe­ri­en­tial su­prem­acy of self-earned sov­er­eignty comes as a re­sult of his own per­sonal ex­pe­ri­ences in the work of uni­verse cre­ation and in­car­nated be­stowal. Un­til the achieve­ment of be­stowal-earned sov­er­eignty, he rules as vicegerent of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther.

21:3.2A Cre­ator Son could as­sert full sov­er­eignty over his per­sonal cre­ation at any time, but he wisely chooses not to. If, prior to pass­ing through the crea­ture be­stowals, he as­sumed an un­earned su­preme sov­er­eignty, the Par­a­dise per­son­al­i­ties res­i­dent in his lo­cal uni­verse would with­draw. But this has never hap­pened through­out all the cre­ations of time and space.

21:3.3The fact of cre­ator­ship im­plies the full­ness of sov­er­eignty, but the Mi­cha­els choose to ex­pe­ri­en­tially earn it, thereby re­tain­ing the full co-op­er­a­tion of all Par­a­dise per­son­al­i­ties at­tached to the lo­cal uni­verse ad­min­is­tra­tion. We know of no Mi­chael who ever did oth­er­wise; but they all could, they are truly free­will Sons.

21:3.4The sov­er­eignty of a Cre­ator Son in a lo­cal uni­verse passes through six, per­haps seven, stages of ex­pe­ri­en­tial man­i­fes­ta­tion. These ap­pear in the fol­low­ing or­der:

21:3.51. Ini­tial vicegerent sov­er­eignty—the soli­tary pro­vi­sional au­thor­ity ex­er­cised by a Cre­ator Son be­fore the ac­quire­ment of per­sonal qual­i­ties by the as­so­ci­ated Cre­ative Spirit.

21:3.62. Con­joint vicegerent sov­er­eignty—the joint rule of the Par­a­dise pair sub­se­quent to the per­son­al­ity achieve­ment of the Uni­verse Mother Spirit.

21:3.73. Aug­ment­ing vicegerent sov­er­eignty—the ad­vanc­ing au­thor­ity of a Cre­ator Son dur­ing the pe­riod of his seven crea­ture be­stowals.

21:3.84. Su­preme sov­er­eignty—the set­tled au­thor­ity fol­low­ing the com­ple­tion of the sev­enth be­stowal. In Neb­a­don, su­preme sov­er­eignty dates from the com­ple­tion of Mi­chael’s be­stowal on Uran­tia. It has ex­isted just slightly over nine­teen hun­dred years of your plan­e­tary time.

21:3.95. Aug­ment­ing su­preme sov­er­eignty—the ad­vanced re­la­tion­ship grow­ing out of the set­tling of a ma­jor­ity of the crea­ture do­mains in light and life. This stage per­tains to the un­achieved fu­ture of your lo­cal uni­verse.

21:3.106. Trini­tar­ian sov­er­eignty—ex­er­cised sub­se­quent to the set­tling of the en­tire lo­cal uni­verse in light and life.

21:3.117. Un­re­vealed sov­er­eignty—the un­known re­la­tion­ships of a fu­ture uni­verse age.

21:3.12In ac­cept­ing the ini­tial vicegerent sov­er­eignty of a pro­jected lo­cal uni­verse, a Cre­ator Mi­chael takes an oath to the Trin­ity not to as­sume su­preme sov­er­eignty un­til the seven crea­ture be­stowals have been com­pleted and cer­ti­fied by the super­uni­verse rulers. But if a Mi­chael Son could not, at will, as­sert such un­earned sov­er­eignty, there would be no mean­ing in tak­ing an oath not to do so.

21:3.13Even in the pre­be­stowal ages a Cre­ator Son rules his do­main well-nigh su­premely when there is no dis­sent in any of its parts. Lim­ited ruler­ship would hardly be man­i­fest if sov­er­eignty were never chal­lenged. The sov­er­eignty ex­er­cised by a pre­be­stowal Cre­ator Son in a uni­verse with­out re­bel­lion is no greater than in a uni­verse with re­bel­lion; but in the first in­stance sov­er­eignty lim­i­ta­tions are not ap­par­ent; in the sec­ond, they are.

21:3.14If ever the au­thor­ity or ad­min­is­tra­tion of a Cre­ator Son is chal­lenged, at­tacked, or jeop­ar­dized, he is eter­nally pledged to up­hold, pro­tect, de­fend, and if nec­es­sary re­trieve his per­sonal cre­ation. Such Sons can be trou­bled or ha­rassed only by the crea­tures of their own mak­ing or by higher be­ings of their own choos­ing. It might be in­ferred that “higher be­ings,” those of ori­gin on lev­els above a lo­cal uni­verse, would be un­likely to trou­ble a Cre­ator Son, and this is true. But they could if they chose to. Virtue is vo­li­tional with per­son­al­ity; righ­teous­ness is not au­to­matic in free­will crea­tures.

21:3.15Be­fore the com­ple­tion of the be­stowal ca­reer a Cre­ator Son rules with cer­tain self-im­posed lim­i­ta­tions of sov­er­eignty, but sub­se­quent to his fin­ished be­stowal ser­vice he rules by virtue of his ac­tual ex­pe­ri­ence in the form and like­ness of his man­i­fold crea­tures. When a Cre­ator has seven times so­journed among his crea­tures, when the be­stowal ca­reer is fin­ished, then is he su­premely set­tled in uni­verse au­thor­ity; he has be­come a Mas­ter Son, a sov­er­eign and su­preme ruler.

21:3.16The tech­nique of ob­tain­ing su­preme sov­er­eignty over a lo­cal uni­verse in­volves the fol­low­ing seven ex­pe­ri­en­tial steps:

21:3.171. Ex­pe­ri­en­tially to pen­e­trate seven crea­ture lev­els of be­ing through the tech­nique of in­car­nated be­stowal in the very like­ness of the crea­tures on the level con­cerned.

21:3.182. To make an ex­pe­ri­en­tial con­se­cra­tion to each phase of the sev­en­fold will of Par­a­dise De­ity as it is per­son­i­fied in the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its.

21:3.193. To tra­verse each of the seven ex­pe­ri­ences on the crea­ture lev­els si­mul­ta­ne­ously with the ex­e­cu­tion of one of the seven con­se­cra­tions to the will of Par­a­dise De­ity.

21:3.204. On each crea­ture level, ex­pe­ri­en­tially to por­tray the acme of crea­ture life to Par­a­dise De­ity and to all uni­verse in­tel­li­gences.

21:3.215. On each crea­ture level, ex­pe­ri­en­tially to re­veal one phase of the sev­en­fold will of De­ity to the be­stowal level and to all the uni­verse.

21:3.226. Ex­pe­ri­en­tially to unify the sev­en­fold crea­ture ex­pe­ri­ence with the sev­en­fold ex­pe­ri­ence of con­se­cra­tion to the rev­e­la­tion of the na­ture and will of De­ity.

21:3.237. To achieve new and higher re­la­tion­ship with the Su­preme Be­ing. The reper­cus­sion of the to­tal­ity of this Cre­ator-crea­ture ex­pe­ri­ence aug­ments the super­uni­verse re­al­ity of God the Su­preme and the time-space sov­er­eignty of the Al­mighty Su­preme and fac­tu­al­izes the su­preme lo­cal uni­verse sov­er­eignty of a Par­a­dise Mi­chael.

21:3.24In set­tling the ques­tion of sov­er­eignty in a lo­cal uni­verse, the Cre­ator Son is not only demon­strat­ing his own fit­ness to rule but is also re­veal­ing the na­ture and por­tray­ing the sev­en­fold at­ti­tude of the Par­a­dise De­i­ties. The fi­nite un­der­stand­ing and crea­ture ap­pre­ci­a­tion of the Fa­ther’s pri­macy is con­cerned in the ad­ven­ture of a Cre­ator Son when he con­de­scends to take upon him­self the form and ex­pe­ri­ences of his crea­tures. These pri­mary Par­a­dise Sons are the real re­veal­ers of the Fa­ther’s lov­ing na­ture and benef­i­cent au­thor­ity, the same Fa­ther who, in as­so­ci­a­tion with the Son and the Spirit, is the uni­ver­sal head of all power, per­son­al­ity, and gov­ern­ment through­out all the uni­ver­sal realms.
