2. The Supreme Power Centers

29:2.1The Seven Su­preme Power Di­rec­tors are not able, in­di­vid­u­ally, to re­pro­duce them­selves, but col­lec­tively, and in as­so­ci­a­tion with the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its, they can and do re­pro­duce—cre­ate—other be­ings like them­selves. Such is the ori­gin of the Su­preme Power Cen­ters of the grand uni­verse, who func­tion in the fol­low­ing seven groups:

29:2.21. Su­preme Cen­ter Super­vi­sors.

29:2.32. Ha­vona Cen­ters.

29:2.43. Super­uni­verse Cen­ters.

29:2.54. Lo­cal Uni­verse Cen­ters.

29:2.65. Con­stel­la­tion Cen­ters.

29:2.76. Sys­tem Cen­ters.

29:2.87. Un­clas­si­fied Cen­ters.

29:2.9These power cen­ters to­gether with the Su­preme Power Di­rec­tors are be­ings of high will free­dom and ac­tion. They are all en­dowed with Third-Source per­son­al­ity and dis­close un­ques­tioned vo­li­tional ca­pac­ity of a high or­der. These di­rect­ing cen­ters of the uni­verse power sys­tem are the pos­ses­sors of ex­qui­site in­tel­li­gence en­dow­ment; they are the in­tel­lect of the power sys­tem of the grand uni­verse and the se­cret of the tech­nique of the mind con­trol of all the vast net­work of the far-flung func­tions of the Mas­ter Phys­i­cal Con­trol­lers and the Mor­ontia Power Super­vi­sors.

29:2.101. Su­preme Cen­ter Super­vi­sors. These seven co-or­di­nates and as­so­ciates of the Su­preme Power Di­rec­tors are the reg­u­la­tors of the mas­ter en­ergy cir­cuits of the grand uni­verse. Each cen­ter super­vi­sor is head­quar­tered on one of the spe­cial worlds of the Seven Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives, and they work in close as­so­ci­a­tion with these co-or­di­na­tors of gen­eral uni­verse af­fairs.

29:2.11The Su­preme Power Di­rec­tors and the Su­preme Cen­ter Super­vi­sors func­tion both as in­di­vid­u­als and con­jointly with re­gard to all cos­mic phe­nom­ena be­low the lev­els of “grav­ity en­ergy.” When act­ing in li­ai­son, these four­teen be­ings are to uni­verse power what the Seven Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives are to gen­eral uni­verse af­fairs, and what the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its are to the cos­mic mind.

29:2.122. Ha­vona Cen­ters. Be­fore the cre­ation of the uni­verses of time and space, power cen­ters were not re­quired in Ha­vona, but ever since these far-dis­tant times, one mil­lion have func­tioned in the cen­tral cre­ation, each cen­ter hav­ing the super­vi­sion of a thou­sand Ha­vona worlds. Here in the di­vine uni­verse there is per­fec­tion of en­ergy con­trol, a con­di­tion not ex­ist­ing else­where. Per­fec­tion of en­ergy reg­u­la­tion is the ul­ti­mate goal of all the power cen­ters and the phys­i­cal con­trol­lers of space.

29:2.133. Super­uni­verse Cen­ters. Oc­cu­py­ing an enor­mous area on the cap­i­tal sphere of each of the seven super­uni­verses are one thou­sand power cen­ters of the third or­der. Three cur­rents of pri­mary en­ergy of ten seg­re­ga­tions each come in to these power cen­ters, but seven spe­cial­ized and well-di­rected, though im­per­fectly con­trolled, cir­cuits of power go forth from their seat of united ac­tion. This is the elec­tronic or­ga­ni­za­tion of uni­verse power.

29:2.14All en­ergy is cir­cuited in the Par­a­dise cy­cle, but the Uni­verse Power Di­rec­tors di­rect the force-en­er­gies of nether Par­a­dise as they find them mod­i­fied in the space func­tions of the cen­tral and super­uni­verses, con­vert­ing and di­rect­ing these en­er­gies into chan­nels of use­ful and con­struc­tive ap­pli­ca­tion. There is a dif­fer­ence be­tween Ha­vona en­ergy and the en­er­gies of the super­uni­verses. The power charge of a super­uni­verse con­sists of three phases of en­ergy of ten seg­re­ga­tions each. This three­fold en­ergy charge spreads through­out the space of the grand uni­verse; it is like a vast mov­ing ocean of en­ergy which en­gulfs and bathes the whole of each of the seven super­cre­ations.

29:2.15The elec­tronic or­ga­ni­za­tion of uni­verse power func­tions in seven phases and dis­closes vary­ing re­sponse to lo­cal or lin­ear grav­ity. This sev­en­fold cir­cuit pro­ceeds from the super­uni­verse power cen­ters and per­vades each super­cre­ation. Such spe­cial­ized cur­rents of time and space are def­i­nite and lo­cal­ized en­ergy move­ments ini­ti­ated and di­rected for spe­cific pur­poses, much as the Gulf Stream func­tions as a cir­cum­scribed phe­nom­e­non in the midst of the At­lantic Ocean.

29:2.164. Lo­cal Uni­verse Cen­ters. On the head­quar­ters of each lo­cal uni­verse are sta­tioned one hun­dred power cen­ters of the fourth or­der. They func­tion to down­step and oth­er­wise to mod­ify the seven power cir­cuits em­a­nat­ing from super­uni­verse head­quar­ters, thus mak­ing them ap­pli­ca­ble to the ser­vices of the con­stel­la­tions and sys­tems. The lo­cal as­tro­nom­i­cal catas­tro­phes of space are of pass­ing con­cern to these power cen­ters; they are en­gaged in the or­derly dis­patch of ef­fec­tive en­ergy to the sub­sidiary con­stel­la­tions and sys­tems. They are of great as­sis­tance to the Cre­ator Sons dur­ing the later times of uni­verse or­ga­ni­za­tion and en­ergy mo­bi­liza­tion. These cen­ters are able to pro­vide in­ten­si­fied lanes of en­ergy use­ful for in­ter­plan­e­tary com­mu­ni­ca­tion be­tween im­por­tant in­hab­ited points. Such a lane or line of en­ergy, some­times also called an en­ergy path, is a di­rect cir­cuit of en­ergy from one power cen­ter to an­other power cen­ter or from one phys­i­cal con­trol­ler to an­other con­trol­ler. It is an in­di­vid­u­al­ized stream of power and stands in con­trast to the free space move­ments of un­dif­fer­en­ti­ated en­ergy.

29:2.175. Con­stel­la­tion Cen­ters. Ten of these liv­ing power cen­ters are sta­tioned in each con­stel­la­tion, func­tion­ing as en­ergy pro­jec­tors to the one hun­dred trib­u­tary lo­cal sys­tems. From these be­ings there go forth the power lines for com­mu­ni­ca­tion and trans­port and for the en­er­giz­ing of those liv­ing crea­tures who are de­pen­dent upon cer­tain forms of phys­i­cal en­ergy for the main­te­nance of life. But nei­ther the power cen­ters nor the sub­or­di­nate phys­i­cal con­trol­lers are oth­er­wise con­cerned with life as a func­tional or­ga­ni­za­tion.

29:2.186. Sys­tem Cen­ters. One Su­preme Power Cen­ter is per­ma­nently as­signed to each lo­cal sys­tem. These sys­tem cen­ters dis­patch the power cir­cuits to the in­hab­ited worlds of time and space. They co-or­di­nate the ac­tiv­i­ties of the sub­or­di­nate phys­i­cal con­trol­lers and oth­er­wise func­tion to in­sure the sat­is­fac­tory dis­tri­bu­tion of power in the lo­cal sys­tem. The cir­cuit re­lay be­tween the plan­ets de­pends upon the per­fect co-or­di­na­tion of cer­tain ma­te­rial en­er­gies and upon the ef­fi­cient reg­u­la­tion of phys­i­cal power.

29:2.197. Un­clas­si­fied Cen­ters. These are the cen­ters who func­tion in spe­cial lo­cal sit­u­a­tions but not on the in­hab­ited plan­ets. The in­di­vid­ual worlds are in the charge of Mas­ter Phys­i­cal Con­trol­lers and re­ceive the en­cir­cuited lines of power dis­patched by the power cen­ter of their sys­tem. Only those spheres of the most ex­traor­di­nary en­ergy re­la­tion­ships have power cen­ters of the sev­enth or­der act­ing as uni­verse bal­ance wheels or en­ergy gov­er­nors. In ev­ery phase of ac­tiv­ity these power cen­ters are the full equals of those who func­tion on the higher units of con­trol, but not one space body in a mil­lion har­bors such a liv­ing power or­ga­ni­za­tion.
