Higher Personalities of the Infinite Spirit

24:1.1The vast power cur­rents of space and the cir­cuits of spirit en­ergy may seem to op­er­ate au­to­mat­i­cally; they may ap­pear to func­tion with­out let or hin­drance, but such is not the case. All these stu­pen­dous sys­tems of en­ergy are un­der con­trol; they are sub­ject to in­tel­li­gent super­vi­sion. Uni­verse Cir­cuit Super­vi­sors are con­cerned, not with the realms of purely phys­i­cal or ma­te­rial en­ergy—the do­main of the Uni­verse Power Di­rec­tors—but with the cir­cuits of rel­a­tive spir­i­tual en­ergy and with those mod­i­fied cir­cuits which are es­sen­tial to the main­te­nance of both the highly de­vel­oped spir­i­tual be­ings and the mor­ontia or tran­si­tion type of in­tel­li­gent crea­tures. The super­vi­sors do not give ori­gin to cir­cuits of en­ergy and super­es­sence of di­vin­ity, but in gen­eral they have to do with all higher spirit cir­cuits of time and eter­nity and with all rel­a­tive spirit cir­cuits con­cerned in the ad­min­is­tra­tion of the com­po­nent parts of the grand uni­verse. They di­rect and ma­nip­u­late all such spirit-en­ergy cir­cuits out­side the Isle of Par­a­dise.

24:1.2Uni­verse Cir­cuit Super­vi­sors are the ex­clu­sive cre­ation of the In­fi­nite Spirit, and they func­tion solely as the agents of the Con­joint Ac­tor. They are per­son­al­ized for ser­vice in the fol­low­ing four or­ders:

24:1.31. Su­preme Cir­cuit Super­vi­sors.

24:1.42. As­so­ciate Cir­cuit Super­vi­sors.

24:1.53. Sec­ondary Cir­cuit Super­vi­sors.

24:1.64. Ter­tiary Cir­cuit Super­vi­sors.

24:1.7The su­preme super­vi­sors of Ha­vona and the as­so­ciate super­vi­sors of the seven super­uni­verses are of com­pleted num­bers; no more of these or­ders are be­ing cre­ated. The su­preme super­vi­sors are seven in num­ber and are sta­tioned on the pi­lot worlds of the seven Ha­vona cir­cuits. The cir­cuits of the seven super­uni­verses are in the charge of a mar­velous group of seven as­so­ciate super­vi­sors, who main­tain head­quar­ters on the seven Par­a­dise spheres of the In­fi­nite Spirit, the worlds of the Seven Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives. From here they super­vise and di­rect the cir­cuits of the super­uni­verses of space.

24:1.8On these Par­a­dise spheres of the Spirit the seven as­so­ciate cir­cuit super­vi­sors and the first or­der of the Su­preme Power Cen­ters ef­fect a li­ai­son which, un­der the di­rec­tion of the Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives, re­sults in the sub-Par­a­dise co-or­di­na­tion of all ma­te­rial and spir­i­tual cir­cuits pass­ing out to the seven super­uni­verses.

24:1.9On the head­quar­ters worlds of each super­uni­verse are sta­tioned the sec­ondary super­vi­sors for the lo­cal uni­verses of time and space. The ma­jor and mi­nor sec­tors are ad­min­is­tra­tive di­vi­sions of the super­gov­ern­ments but are not con­cerned in these mat­ters of spirit-en­ergy super­vi­sion. I do not know how many sec­ondary cir­cuit super­vi­sors there are in the grand uni­verse, but on Uversa there are 84,691 of these be­ings. Sec­ondary super­vi­sors are be­ing cre­ated right along; from time to time they ap­pear in groups of sev­enty on the worlds of the Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives. We ob­tain them on req­ui­si­tion as we ar­range for the es­tab­lish­ment of sep­a­rate cir­cuits of spirit en­ergy and li­ai­son power to the newly evolv­ing uni­verses of our ju­ris­dic­tion.

24:1.10A ter­tiary cir­cuit super­vi­sor func­tions on the head­quar­ters world of ev­ery lo­cal uni­verse. This or­der, like the sec­ondary super­vi­sors, is of con­tin­u­ous cre­ation, be­ing cre­ated in groups of seven hun­dred. They are as­signed to the lo­cal uni­verses by the An­cients of Days.

24:1.11Cir­cuit super­vi­sors are cre­ated for their spe­cific tasks, and they eter­nally serve in the groups of their orig­i­nal as­sign­ment. They are not ro­tated in ser­vice and hence make an age­long study of the prob­lems found in the realms of their orig­i­nal as­sign­ment. For ex­am­ple: Ter­tiary cir­cuit super­vi­sor num­ber 572,842 has func­tioned on Sal­ving­ton since the early con­cept of your lo­cal uni­verse, and he is a mem­ber of the per­sonal staff of Mi­chael of Neb­a­don.

24:1.12Whether act­ing in the lo­cal or higher uni­verses, cir­cuit super­vi­sors di­rect all con­cerned as to the proper cir­cuits to em­ploy for the trans­mis­sion of all spirit mes­sages and for the tran­sit of all per­son­al­i­ties. In their work of cir­cuit super­vi­sion these ef­fi­cient be­ings uti­lize all agen­cies, forces, and per­son­al­i­ties in the uni­verse of uni­verses. They em­ploy the un­re­vealed “high spirit per­son­al­i­ties of cir­cuit con­trol” and are ably as­sisted by nu­mer­ous staffs com­posed of per­son­al­i­ties of the In­fi­nite Spirit. It is they who would iso­late an evo­lu­tion­ary world if its Plan­e­tary Prince should rebel against the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther and his vicegerent Son. They are able to throw any world out of cer­tain uni­verse cir­cuits of the higher spir­i­tual or­der, but they can­not an­nul the ma­te­rial cur­rents of the power di­rec­tors.

24:1.13The Uni­verse Cir­cuit Super­vi­sors have some­thing of the same re­la­tion­ship to spirit cir­cuits that the Uni­verse Power Di­rec­tors have to ma­te­rial cir­cuits. The two or­ders are com­ple­men­tal, to­gether hav­ing the over­sight of all spirit and all ma­te­rial cir­cuits that are con­trol­lable and ma­nip­u­lat­able by crea­tures.

24:1.14The cir­cuit super­vi­sors ex­er­cise cer­tain over­sight of those mind cir­cuits which are spirit as­so­ci­ated much as the power di­rec­tors have cer­tain ju­ris­dic­tion over those phases of mind which are phys­i­cal-en­ergy as­so­ci­ated—me­chan­i­cal mind. In gen­eral the func­tions of each or­der are ex­panded by li­ai­son with the other, but the cir­cuits of pure mind are sub­ject to the super­vi­sion of nei­ther. Nei­ther are the two or­ders co-or­di­nate; in all their man­i­fold labors the Uni­verse Cir­cuit Super­vi­sors are sub­ject to the Seven Su­preme Power Di­rec­tors and their sub­or­di­nates.

24:1.15While the cir­cuit super­vi­sors are en­tirely alike within their re­spec­tive or­ders, they are all dis­tinct in­di­vid­u­als. They are truly per­sonal be­ings, but they pos­sess a type of other-than-Fa­ther-en­dowed per­son­al­ity not en­coun­tered in any other type of crea­ture in all uni­ver­sal ex­is­tence.

24:1.16Al­though you will rec­og­nize and know them as you jour­ney in­ward to­wards Par­a­dise, you will have no per­sonal re­la­tions with them. They are cir­cuit super­vi­sors, and they at­tend strictly and ef­fi­ciently to their busi­ness. They deal solely with those per­son­al­i­ties and en­ti­ties hav­ing the over­sight of those ac­tiv­i­ties which are con­cerned with the cir­cuits sub­ject to their super­vi­sion.
