Paper 28

Ministering Spirits of the Superuniverses

Mighty Messenger

3. The Seconaphim

28:3.1The sec­o­raphic hosts are pro­duced by the seven Re­flec­tive Spir­its as­signed to the head­quar­ters of each super­uni­verse. There is a def­i­nite Par­a­dise-re­spon­sive tech­nique as­so­ci­ated with the cre­ation of these an­gels in groups of seven. In each seven there are al­ways one pri­mary, three sec­ondary, and three ter­tiary se­con­a­phim; they al­ways per­son­al­ize in this ex­act pro­por­tion. When seven such se­con­a­phim are cre­ated, one, the pri­mary, be­comes at­tached to the ser­vice of the An­cients of Days. The three sec­ondary an­gels are as­so­ci­ated with three groups of Par­a­dise-ori­gin ad­min­is­tra­tors in the super­gov­ern­ments: the Di­vine Coun­selors, the Per­fec­tors of Wis­dom, and the Uni­ver­sal Cen­sors. The three ter­tiary an­gels are at­tached to the as­cen­dant trin­i­tized as­so­ciates of the super­uni­verse rulers: the Mighty Mes­sen­gers, Those High in Au­thor­ity, and Those with­out Name and Num­ber.

28:3.2These se­con­a­phim of the super­uni­verses are the off­spring of the Re­flec­tive Spir­its, and there­fore re­flec­tiv­ity is in­her­ent in their na­ture. They are re­flec­tively re­spon­sive to all of each phase of ev­ery crea­ture of ori­gin in the Third Source and Cen­ter and the Par­a­dise Cre­ator Sons, but they are not di­rectly re­flec­tive of the be­ings and en­ti­ties, per­sonal or oth­er­wise, of sole ori­gin in the First Source and Cen­ter. We pos­sess many ev­i­dences of the ac­tu­al­ity of the uni­ver­sal in­tel­li­gence cir­cuits of the In­fi­nite Spirit, but even if we had no other proof, the re­flec­tive per­for­mances of the se­con­a­phim would be quite suf­fi­cient to demon­strate the re­al­ity of the uni­ver­sal pres­ence of the in­fi­nite mind of the Con­joint Ac­tor.
