Every paragraph the index cites under genealogies, once, in the order of the book. Beside each stand the entries that cite it.

28:6.21. The Sig­nif­i­cance of Ori­gins. The as­cen­dant Trin­i­tized Sons of a super­uni­verse gov­ern­ment are charged with the re­spon­si­bil­ity of deal­ing with all is­sues grow­ing out of the ori­gin of any in­di­vid­ual, race, or world; and the sig­nif­i­cance of ori­gin is the paramount ques­tion in all our plans for the cos­mic ad­vance­ment of the liv­ing crea­tures of the realm. All re­la­tion­ships and the ap­pli­ca­tion of ethics grow out of the fun­da­men­tal facts of ori­gin. Ori­gin is the ba­sis of the re­la­tional re­ac­tion of the Gods. Al­ways does the Con­joint Ac­tor “take note of the man, in what man­ner he was born.”

28:6.3With the higher de­scen­dant be­ings, ori­gin is sim­ply a fact to be as­cer­tained; but with the as­cend­ing be­ings, in­clud­ing the lower or­ders of an­gels, the na­ture and cir­cum­stances of ori­gin are not al­ways so clear, though of equally vi­tal im­por­tance at al­most ev­ery turn of uni­verse af­fairs—hence the value of hav­ing at our dis­posal a se­ries of re­flec­tive se­con­a­phim who can in­stantly por­tray any­thing re­quired re­spect­ing the gen­e­sis of any be­ing in ei­ther the cen­tral uni­verse or through­out the en­tire realm of a super­uni­verse.

28:6.4The Sig­nif­i­cances of Ori­gins are the liv­ing ready-ref­er­ence ge­nealo­gies of the vast hosts of be­ings—men, an­gels, and oth­ers—who in­habit the seven super­uni­verses. They are al­ways ready to sup­ply their su­pe­ri­ors with an up-to-date, re­plete, and trust­wor­thy es­ti­mate of the an­ces­tral fac­tors and the cur­rent ac­tual sta­tus of any in­di­vid­ual on any world of their re­spec­tive super­uni­verses; and their com­pu­ta­tion of pos­sessed facts is al­ways up to the minute.
