The Trinitized Sons of God

Mighty Messenger

5. The Trinitized Custodians

22:5.1The Trin­i­tized Cus­to­di­ans are Trin­i­tized Sons of Se­lec­tion. Not only do your races and other mor­tals of sur­vival value tra­verse Ha­vona, at­tain Par­a­dise, and some­times find them­selves des­tined to super­uni­verse ser­vice with the Sta­tion­ary Sons of the Trin­ity, but your faith­ful se­raphic guard­i­ans and your equally faith­ful mid­way as­so­ciates may also be­come can­di­dates for the same Trin­ity rec­og­ni­tion and su­perb per­son­al­ity des­tiny.

22:5.2Trin­i­tized Cus­to­di­ans are as­cen­dant ser­a­phim and trans­lated mid­way crea­tures who have passed through Ha­vona and have at­tained Par­a­dise and the Corps of the Fi­nal­ity. Sub­se­quently they were em­braced by the Par­a­dise Trin­ity and were as­signed to the ser­vice of the An­cients of Days.

22:5.3The can­di­dates for the Trin­ity em­brace from among the as­cen­dant ser­a­phim are ac­corded this rec­og­ni­tion be­cause of their valiant co-op­er­a­tion with some as­cen­dant mor­tal who at­tained the Corps of the Fi­nal­ity and was sub­se­quently trin­i­tized. My own se­raphic guard­ian of the mor­tal ca­reer went through with me, was later trin­i­tized, and now is at­tached to the Uversa gov­ern­ment as a Trin­i­tized Cus­to­dian.

22:5.4And so with the mid­way crea­tures; many are trans­lated and achieve Par­a­dise and, along with the ser­a­phim and for the same rea­sons, are Trin­ity em­braced and com­mis­sioned as Cus­to­di­ans in the super­uni­verses.

22:5.5The Trin­i­tized Cus­to­di­ans are em­braced by the Par­a­dise Trin­ity in groups of sev­enty thou­sand, and one sev­enth of each group is as­signed to a super­uni­verse. There are now in the ser­vice of Or­von­ton slightly over ten mil­lion of these trusted and high Cus­to­di­ans. They serve on Uversa and on the ma­jor and mi­nor head­quar­ters spheres. In their labors they are as­sisted by a corps of sev­eral bil­lion se­con­a­phim and other able super­uni­verse per­son­al­i­ties.

22:5.6The Trin­i­tized Cus­to­di­ans start out their ca­reers as cus­to­di­ans, and they con­tinue as such in the af­fairs of the super­gov­ern­ments. In a way, they are of­fi­cers of their super­uni­verse gov­ern­ments, but they do not deal with in­di­vid­u­als, as do the Ce­les­tial Guard­i­ans. The Trin­i­tized Cus­to­di­ans ad­min­is­ter group af­fairs and fos­ter col­lec­tive projects. They are the cus­to­di­ans of rec­ords, plans, and in­sti­tu­tions; they act as the trustees of un­der­tak­ings, per­son­al­ity groups, as­cen­dant projects, mor­ontia plans, uni­verse pro­jec­tions, and in­nu­mer­able other en­ter­prises.
