Ministering Spirits of the Central Universe

26:6.1As­cend­ers of space are des­ig­nated “spir­i­tual grad­u­ates” when trans­lated from the sev­enth to the sixth cir­cle and are placed un­der the im­me­di­ate super­vi­sion of the su­prem­acy guides. These guides should not be con­fused with the Grad­u­ate Guides—be­long­ing to the Higher Per­son­al­i­ties of the In­fi­nite Spirit—who, with their servi­tal as­so­ciates, min­is­ter on all cir­cuits of Ha­vona to both as­cend­ing and de­scend­ing pil­grims. The su­prem­acy guides func­tion only on the sixth cir­cle of the cen­tral uni­verse.

26:6.2It is in this cir­cle that the as­cend­ers achieve a new re­al­iza­tion of Su­preme Di­vin­ity. Through their long ca­reers in the evo­lu­tion­ary uni­verses the pil­grims of time have been ex­pe­ri­enc­ing a grow­ing aware­ness of the re­al­ity of an al­mighty over­con­trol of the time-space cre­ations. Here, on this Ha­vona cir­cuit, they come near to en­coun­ter­ing the cen­tral uni­verse source of time-space unity—the spir­i­tual re­al­ity of God the Su­preme.

26:6.3I am some­what at a loss to ex­plain what takes place on this cir­cle. No per­son­al­ized pres­ence of Su­prem­acy is per­cep­ti­ble to the as­cend­ers. In cer­tain re­spects, new re­la­tion­ships with the Sev­enth Mas­ter Spirit com­pen­sate this non­con­tactabil­ity of the Su­preme Be­ing. But re­gard­less of our in­abil­ity to grasp the tech­nique, each as­cend­ing crea­ture seems to un­dergo a trans­form­ing growth, a new in­te­gra­tion of con­scious­ness, a new spir­i­tu­al­iza­tion of pur­pose, a new sen­si­tiv­ity for di­vin­ity, which can hardly be sat­is­fac­to­rily ex­plained with­out as­sum­ing the un­re­vealed ac­tiv­ity of the Su­preme Be­ing. To those of us who have ob­served these mys­te­ri­ous trans­ac­tions, it ap­pears as if God the Su­preme were af­fec­tion­ately be­stow­ing upon his ex­pe­ri­en­tial chil­dren, up to the very lim­its of their ex­pe­ri­en­tial ca­pac­i­ties, those en­hance­ments of in­tel­lec­tual grasp, of spir­i­tual in­sight, and of per­son­al­ity out­reach which they will so need, in all their ef­forts at pen­e­trat­ing the di­vin­ity level of the Trin­ity of Su­prem­acy, to achieve the eter­nal and ex­is­ten­tial De­i­ties of Par­a­dise.

26:6.4When the su­prem­acy guides deem their pupils ripe for ad­vance­ment, they bring them be­fore the com­mis­sion of sev­enty, a mixed group serv­ing as ex­am­in­ers on the pi­lot world of cir­cuit num­ber six. Af­ter sat­is­fy­ing this com­mis­sion as to their com­pre­hen­sion of the Su­preme Be­ing and of the Trin­ity of Su­prem­acy, the pil­grims are cer­ti­fied for trans­la­tion to the fifth cir­cuit.
