The Trinitized Sons of God

Mighty Messenger

3. Those High in Authority

22:3.1Those High in Au­thor­ity, the sec­ond group of the Trin­i­tized Sons of At­tain­ment, are all Ad­juster-fused be­ings of mor­tal ori­gin. These are the per­fected mor­tals who have ex­hib­ited su­pe­rior ad­min­is­tra­tive abil­ity and have shown ex­traor­di­nary ex­ec­u­tive ge­nius through­out their long as­cend­ing ca­reers. They are the cream of gov­ern­ing abil­ity de­rived from the sur­viv­ing mor­tals of space.

22:3.2Sev­enty thou­sand of Those High in Au­thor­ity are trin­i­tized at each Trin­ity li­ai­son. Though the lo­cal uni­verse of Neb­a­don is a com­par­a­tively young cre­ation, it has rep­re­sen­ta­tives among a re­cently trin­i­tized class of this or­der. There are now com­mis­sioned in Or­von­ton more than ten bil­lion of these skill­ful ad­min­is­tra­tors. Like all sep­a­rate or­ders of ce­les­tial be­ings, they main­tain their own head­quar­ters on Uversa, and like the other Trin­ity-em­braced sons, their re­serves on Uversa act as the cen­tral di­rect­ing body of their or­der in Or­von­ton.

22:3.3Those High in Au­thor­ity are ad­min­is­tra­tors with­out lim­i­ta­tion. They are the ev­ery­where-pres­ent and al­ways-ef­fi­cient ex­ec­u­tives of the An­cients of Days. They serve on any sphere, on any in­hab­ited world, and in any phase of ac­tiv­ity in any of the seven super­uni­verses.

22:3.4Hav­ing su­perb ad­min­is­tra­tive wis­dom and un­usual ex­ec­u­tive skill, these bril­liant be­ings as­sume to pre­sent the cause of jus­tice in be­half of the super­uni­verse tri­bu­nals; they fos­ter the ex­e­cu­tion of jus­tice and the rec­ti­fi­ca­tion of mis­adap­ta­tions in the evo­lu­tion­ary uni­verses. There­fore, if you should ever be cited for er­rors of judg­ment while you are as­cend­ing the worlds and spheres of your or­dained cos­mic pro­gres­sion, it is hardly likely that you would suf­fer in­jus­tice since your pros­e­cu­tors would be one­time as­cen­dant crea­tures who are per­son­ally fa­mil­iar with ev­ery step of the ca­reer you have tra­versed and are travers­ing.
