The Spheres of Light and Life

55:8.1When an en­tire sys­tem be­comes set­tled in life, a new or­der of gov­ern­ment is in­au­gu­rated. The Plan­e­tary Sov­er­eigns be­come mem­bers of the sys­tem con­clave, and this new ad­min­is­tra­tive body, sub­ject to the veto of the Con­stel­la­tion Fa­thers, is su­preme in au­thor­ity. Such a sys­tem of in­hab­ited worlds be­comes vir­tu­ally self-gov­ern­ing. The sys­tem leg­isla­tive as­sem­bly is con­sti­tuted on the head­quar­ters world, and each planet sends its ten rep­re­sen­ta­tives thereto. Courts are now es­tab­lished on the sys­tem cap­i­tals, and only ap­peals are taken to the uni­verse head­quar­ters.

55:8.2With the set­tling of the sys­tem the As­signed Sen­tinel, rep­re­sen­ta­tive of the super­uni­verse Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tive, be­comes the vol­un­teer ad­viser to the sys­tem su­preme court and ac­tual pre­sid­ing of­fi­cer of the new leg­isla­tive as­sem­bly.

55:8.3Af­ter the set­tling of an en­tire sys­tem in light and life the Sys­tem Sov­er­eigns will no more come and go. Such a sov­er­eign re­mains per­pet­u­ally at the head of his sys­tem. The as­sis­tant sov­er­eigns con­tinue to change as in for­mer ages.

55:8.4Dur­ing this epoch of sta­bi­liza­tion, for the first time mid­soniters come from the uni­verse head­quar­ters worlds of their so­journ to act as coun­selors to the leg­isla­tive as­sem­blies and ad­vis­ers to the ad­ju­di­ca­tional tri­bu­nals. These mid­soniters also carry on cer­tain ef­forts to in­cul­cate new mota mean­ings of su­preme value into the teach­ing en­ter­prises which they spon­sor jointly with the fi­nal­i­ters. What the Ma­te­rial Sons did for the mor­tal races bi­o­log­i­cally, the mid­sonite crea­tures now do for these uni­fied and glo­ri­fied hu­mans in the ever-ad­vanc­ing realms of phi­los­o­phy and spir­i­tu­al­ized think­ing.

55:8.5On the in­hab­ited worlds the Teacher Sons be­come vol­un­tary col­lab­o­ra­tors with the fi­nal­i­ters, and these same Teacher Sons also ac­com­pany the fi­nal­i­ters to the man­sion worlds when those spheres are no longer to be uti­lized as dif­fer­en­tial re­ceiv­ing worlds af­ter an en­tire sys­tem is set­tled in light and life; at least this is true by the time the en­tire con­stel­la­tion has thus evolved. But there are no groups that far ad­vanced in Neb­a­don.

55:8.6We are not per­mit­ted to re­veal the na­ture of the work of the fi­nal­i­ters who will super­vise such reded­i­cated man­sion worlds. You have, how­ever, been in­formed that there are through­out the uni­verses var­i­ous types of in­tel­li­gent crea­tures who have not been por­trayed in these nar­ra­tives.

55:8.7And now, as the sys­tems one by one be­come set­tled in light by virtue of the prog­ress of their com­po­nent worlds, the time comes when the last sys­tem in a given con­stel­la­tion at­tains sta­bi­liza­tion, and the uni­verse ad­min­is­tra­tors—the Mas­ter Son, the Union of Days, and the Bright and Morn­ing Star—ar­rive on the cap­i­tal of the con­stel­la­tion to pro­claim the Most Highs the un­qual­i­fied rulers of the newly per­fected fam­ily of one hun­dred set­tled sys­tems of in­hab­ited worlds.
