33:2.1Ob­ser­va­tion of Cre­ator Sons dis­closes that some re­sem­ble more the Fa­ther, some the Son, while oth­ers are a blend of both their in­fi­nite par­ents. Our Cre­ator Son very def­i­nitely man­i­fests traits and at­tri­butes which more re­sem­ble the Eter­nal Son.

33:2.2Mi­chael elected to or­ga­nize this lo­cal uni­verse, and herein he now reigns su­preme. His per­sonal power is lim­ited by the pre-ex­is­tent grav­ity cir­cuits cen­ter­ing at Par­a­dise and by the reser­va­tion on the part of the An­cients of Days of the super­uni­verse gov­ern­ment of all fi­nal ex­ec­u­tive judg­ments re­gard­ing the ex­tinc­tion of per­son­al­ity. Per­son­al­ity is the sole be­stowal of the Fa­ther, but the Cre­ator Sons, with the ap­proval of the Eter­nal Son, do ini­ti­ate new crea­ture de­signs, and with the work­ing co-op­er­a­tion of their Spirit as­so­ciates they may at­tempt new trans­for­ma­tions of en­ergy-mat­ter.

33:2.3Mi­chael is the per­son­i­fi­ca­tion of the Par­a­dise Fa­ther-Son to and in the lo­cal uni­verse of Neb­a­don; there­fore, when the Cre­ative Mother Spirit, the lo­cal uni­verse rep­re­sen­ta­tion of the In­fi­nite Spirit, sub­or­di­nated her­self to Christ Mi­chael upon the re­turn from his fi­nal be­stowal on Uran­tia, the Mas­ter Son thereby ac­quired ju­ris­dic­tion over “all power in heaven and on earth.”

33:2.4This sub­or­di­na­tion of the Di­vine Min­is­ters to the Cre­ator Sons of the lo­cal uni­verses con­sti­tutes these Mas­ter Sons the per­sonal repos­i­to­ries of the finitely man­i­festable di­vin­ity of the Fa­ther, Son, and Spirit, while the crea­ture-be­stowal ex­pe­ri­ences of the Mi­cha­els qual­ify them to por­tray the ex­pe­ri­en­tial di­vin­ity of the Su­preme Be­ing. No other be­ings in the uni­verses have thus per­son­ally ex­hausted the po­ten­tials of pres­ent fi­nite ex­pe­ri­ence, and no other be­ings in the uni­verses pos­sess such qual­i­fi­ca­tions for soli­tary sov­er­eignty.

33:2.5Al­though Mi­chael’s head­quar­ters is of­fi­cially lo­cated on Sal­ving­ton, the cap­i­tal of Neb­a­don, he spends much of his time vis­it­ing the con­stel­la­tion and sys­tem head­quar­ters and even the in­di­vid­ual plan­ets. Pe­ri­od­i­cally he jour­neys to Par­a­dise and of­ten to Uversa, where he coun­sels with the An­cients of Days. When he is away from Sal­ving­ton, his place is as­sumed by Ga­briel, who then func­tions as re­gent of the uni­verse of Neb­a­don.
