Ministering Spirits of the Central Universe

26:3.1These ser­vants of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its are the an­gelic spe­cial­ists of the var­i­ous cir­cuits of Ha­vona, and their min­istry ex­tends to both the as­cend­ing pil­grims of time and the de­scend­ing pil­grims of eter­nity. On the bil­lion study worlds of the per­fect cen­tral cre­ation, your super­aphic as­so­ciates of all or­ders will be fully vis­i­ble to you. There you will all be, in the high­est sense, fra­ter­nal and un­der­stand­ing be­ings of mu­tual con­tact and sym­pa­thy. You will also fully rec­og­nize and ex­qui­sitely frat­er­nize with the de­scend­ing pil­grims, the Par­a­dise Cit­i­zens, who tra­verse these cir­cuits from within out­ward, en­ter­ing Ha­vona through the pi­lot world of the first cir­cuit and pro­ceed­ing out­ward to the sev­enth.

26:3.2The as­cend­ing pil­grims from the seven super­uni­verses pass through Ha­vona in the op­po­site di­rec­tion, en­ter­ing by way of the pi­lot world of the sev­enth cir­cuit and pro­ceed­ing in­ward. There is no time limit set on the prog­ress of the as­cend­ing crea­tures from world to world and from cir­cuit to cir­cuit, just as no fixed span of time is ar­bi­trar­ily as­signed to res­i­dence on the mor­ontia worlds. But, whereas ad­e­quately de­vel­oped in­di­vid­u­als may be ex­empted from so­journ on one or more of the lo­cal uni­verse train­ing worlds, no pil­grim may avoid pass­ing through all seven of the Ha­vona cir­cuits of pro­gres­sive spir­i­tu­al­iza­tion.

26:3.3That corps of ter­tiary super­na­phim which is chiefly as­signed to the ser­vice of the pil­grims of time is clas­si­fied as fol­lows:

26:3.41. The Har­mony Super­vi­sors. It must be ap­par­ent that some sort of co-or­di­nat­ing in­flu­ence would be re­quired, even in per­fect Ha­vona, to main­tain sys­tem and to in­sure har­mony in all the work of prepar­ing the pil­grims of time for their sub­se­quent Par­a­dise achieve­ments. Such is the real mis­sion of the har­mony super­vi­sors—to keep ev­ery­thing mov­ing along smoothly and ex­pe­di­tiously. Orig­i­nat­ing on the first cir­cuit, they serve through­out Ha­vona, and their pres­ence on the cir­cuits means that noth­ing can pos­si­bly go amiss. A great abil­ity to co-or­di­nate a di­ver­sity of ac­tiv­i­ties in­volv­ing per­son­al­i­ties of dif­fer­ing or­ders—even mul­ti­ple lev­els—en­ables these super­na­phim to give as­sis­tance wher­ever and when­ever re­quired. They con­tribute enor­mously to the mu­tual un­der­stand­ing of the pil­grims of time and the pil­grims of eter­nity.

26:3.52. The Chief Re­cord­ers. These an­gels are cre­ated on the sec­ond cir­cuit but op­er­ate ev­ery­where in the cen­tral uni­verse. They re­cord in trip­li­cate, ex­e­cut­ing rec­ords for the lit­eral files of Ha­vona, for the spir­i­tual files of their or­der, and for the for­mal rec­ords of Par­a­dise. In ad­di­tion they au­to­mat­i­cally trans­mit the trans­ac­tions of true-knowl­edge im­port to the liv­ing li­braries of Par­a­dise, the cus­to­di­ans of knowl­edge of the pri­mary or­der of super­na­phim.

26:3.63. The Broad­cast­ers. The chil­dren of the third Cir­cuit Spirit func­tion through­out Ha­vona, al­though their of­fi­cial sta­tion is lo­cated on planet num­ber sev­enty in the out­er­most cir­cle. These mas­ter tech­ni­cians are the broad­cast re­ceivers and senders of the cen­tral cre­ation and the di­rec­tors of the space re­ports of all De­ity phe­nom­ena on Par­a­dise. They can op­er­ate all of the ba­sic cir­cuits of space.

26:3.74. The Mes­sen­gers take ori­gin on cir­cuit num­ber four. They range the Par­a­dise-Ha­vona sys­tem as bear­ers of all mes­sages re­quir­ing per­sonal trans­mis­sion. They serve their fel­lows, the ce­les­tial per­son­al­i­ties, the Par­a­dise pil­grims, and even the as­cen­dant souls of time.

26:3.85. The In­tel­li­gence Co-or­di­na­tors. These ter­tiary super­na­phim, the chil­dren of the fifth Cir­cuit Spirit, are al­ways the wise and sym­pa­thetic pro­mot­ers of fra­ter­nal as­so­ci­a­tion be­tween the as­cend­ing and the de­scend­ing pil­grims. They min­is­ter to all the in­hab­i­tants of Ha­vona, and es­pe­cially to the as­cend­ers, by keep­ing them cur­rently in­formed re­gard­ing the af­fairs of the uni­verse of uni­verses. By virtue of per­sonal con­tacts with the broad­cast­ers and the re­flec­tors, these “liv­ing news­pa­pers” of Ha­vona are in­stantly con­ver­sant with all in­for­ma­tion pass­ing over the vast news cir­cuits of the cen­tral uni­verse. They se­cure in­tel­li­gence by the Ha­vona graph method, which en­ables them au­to­mat­i­cally to as­sim­i­late as much in­for­ma­tion in one hour of Uran­tia time as would re­quire a thou­sand years for your most rapid tele­graphic tech­nique to re­cord.

26:3.96. The Trans­port Per­son­al­i­ties. These be­ings, of ori­gin on cir­cuit num­ber six, usu­ally op­er­ate from planet num­ber forty in the out­er­most cir­cuit. It is they who take away the dis­ap­pointed can­di­dates who tran­siently fail in the De­ity ad­ven­ture. They stand ready to serve all who must come and go in the ser­vice of Ha­vona, and who are not space tra­versers.

26:3.107. The Re­serve Corps. The fluc­tu­a­tions in the work with the as­cen­dant be­ings, the Par­a­dise pil­grims, and other or­ders of be­ings so­journ­ing in Ha­vona, make it nec­es­sary to main­tain these re­serves of super­na­phim on the pi­lot world of the sev­enth cir­cle, where they take ori­gin. They are cre­ated with­out spe­cial de­sign and are com­pe­tent to take up ser­vice in the less ex­act­ing phases of any of the du­ties of their super­aphic as­so­ciates of the ter­tiary or­der.
