Havona Servitals

• assist, and eventually become, Graduate Guides

24:7.1Though evo­lu­tion is not the or­der of the cen­tral uni­verse, we be­lieve that the Grad­u­ate Guides are the per­fected or more ex­pe­ri­enced mem­bers of an­other or­der of cen­tral uni­verse crea­tures, the Ha­vona Servi­tals. Grad­u­ate Guides show such a breadth of sym­pa­thy and such a ca­pac­ity for un­der­stand­ing the as­cen­dant crea­tures that we are con­vinced they have gained this cul­ture by ac­tual ser­vice in the super­uni­verse realms as the Ha­vona Servi­tals of uni­ver­sal min­istry. If this view is not cor­rect, how then can we ac­count for the con­tin­u­ous dis­ap­pear­ance of the se­nior or more ex­pe­ri­enced servi­tals?

24:7.2A servi­tal will be long ab­sent from Ha­vona on super­uni­verse as­sign­ment, hav­ing been on many such mis­sions pre­vi­ously, will re­turn home, be granted the priv­i­lege of “per­sonal con­tact” with the Par­a­dise Cen­tral Shin­ing, will be em­braced by the Lu­mi­nous Per­sons, and dis­ap­pear from the rec­og­ni­tion of his spirit fel­lows, never more to reap­pear among those of his kind.

• 1/4 who achieve divine embrace never return

24:7.3On re­turn­ing from super­uni­verse ser­vice, a Ha­vona Servi­tal may en­joy nu­mer­ous di­vine em­braces and emerge there­from merely an ex­alted servi­tal. Ex­pe­ri­enc­ing the lu­mi­nous em­brace does not nec­es­sar­ily sig­nify that the servi­tal must trans­late into a Grad­u­ate Guide, but al­most one quar­ter of those who achieve the di­vine em­brace never re­turn to the ser­vice of the realms.

24:7.4There ap­pears on the high rec­ords a suc­ces­sion of such en­tries as this:

24:7.5“And servi­tal num­ber 842,842,682,846,782 of Ha­vona, named Sudna, came over from the super­uni­verse ser­vice, was re­ceived on Par­a­dise, knew the Fa­ther, en­tered the di­vine em­brace, and is not.”

24:7.6When such an en­try ap­pears on the rec­ords, the ca­reer of such a servi­tal is closed. But in just three mo­ments (a lit­tle less than three days of your time) a new­born Grad­u­ate Guide “spon­ta­neously” ap­pears on the outer cir­cuit of the Ha­vona uni­verse. And the num­ber of Grad­u­ate Guides, al­low­ing for a slight dif­fer­ence, due no doubt to those in tran­si­tion, ex­actly equals the num­ber of van­ished servi­tals.

24:7.7There is an ad­di­tional rea­son for sup­pos­ing the Grad­u­ate Guides to be evolved Ha­vona Servi­tals, and that is the un­fail­ing ten­dency of these guides and their as­so­ci­ated servi­tals to form such ex­traor­di­nary at­tach­ments. The man­ner in which these sup­pos­edly sep­a­rate or­ders of be­ings un­der­stand and sym­pa­thize with one an­other is wholly in­ex­pli­ca­ble. It is re­fresh­ing and in­spir­ing to wit­ness their mu­tual de­vo­tion.

• involved in phases of Supremacy

24:7.8The Seven Mas­ter Spir­its and the as­so­ci­ated Seven Su­preme Power Di­rec­tors, re­spec­tively, are the per­sonal repos­i­to­ries of the mind po­ten­tial and of the power po­ten­tial of the Su­preme Be­ing which he does not, as yet, op­er­ate per­son­ally. And when these Par­a­dise as­so­ciates col­lab­o­rate to cre­ate the Ha­vona Servi­tals, the lat­ter are in­her­ently in­volved in cer­tain phases of Su­prem­acy. Ha­vona Servi­tals are thus, in ac­tu­al­ity, a re­flec­tion in the per­fect cen­tral uni­verse of cer­tain evo­lu­tion­ary po­ten­tial­i­ties of the time-space do­mains, all of which is dis­closed when a servi­tal un­der­goes trans­for­ma­tion and re-cre­ation. We be­lieve that this trans­for­ma­tion takes place in re­sponse to the will of the In­fi­nite Spirit, un­doubt­edly act­ing in be­half of the Su­preme. Grad­u­ate Guides are not cre­ated by the Su­preme Be­ing, but we all con­jec­ture that ex­pe­ri­en­tial De­ity is in some way con­cerned in those trans­ac­tions which bring these be­ings into ex­is­tence.

• “midway creatures” of Havona

25:1.1Though de­nom­i­nated servi­tals, these “mid­way crea­tures” of the cen­tral uni­verse are not ser­vants in any me­nial sense of the word. In the spir­i­tual world there is no such thing as me­nial work; all ser­vice is sa­cred and ex­hil­a­rat­ing; nei­ther do the higher or­ders of be­ings look down upon the lower or­ders of ex­is­tence.

• creatures of Seven Master Spirits and Seven Supreme Power Directors

25:1.2The Ha­vona Servi­tals are the joint cre­ative work of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its and their as­so­ciates, the Seven Su­preme Power Di­rec­tors. This cre­ative col­lab­o­ra­tion comes the near­est to be­ing the pat­tern for the long list of re­pro­duc­tions of the dual or­der in the evo­lu­tion­ary uni­verses, ex­tend­ing from the cre­ation of a Bright and Morn­ing Star by a Cre­ator Son-Cre­ative Spirit li­ai­son down to sex pro­cre­ation on worlds like Uran­tia.

• fourth creatures discern reality of spirit and matter; are semiphysical
• number is prodigious; more being created

25:1.3The num­ber of servi­tals is prodi­gious, and more are be­ing cre­ated all the time. They ap­pear in groups of one thou­sand on the third mo­ment fol­low­ing the as­sem­bly of the Mas­ter Spir­its and the Su­preme Power Di­rec­tors at their joint area in the far northerly sec­tor of Par­a­dise. Ev­ery fourth servi­tal is more phys­i­cal in type than the oth­ers; that is, out of each thou­sand, seven hun­dred and fifty are ap­par­ently true to spirit type, but two hun­dred and fifty are semi­phys­i­cal in na­ture. These fourth crea­tures are some­what on the or­der of ma­te­rial be­ings (ma­te­rial in the Ha­vona sense), re­sem­bling the phys­i­cal power di­rec­tors more than the Mas­ter Spir­its.

25:1.4In per­son­al­ity re­la­tion­ships the spir­i­tual is dom­i­nant over the ma­te­rial, even though it does not now so ap­pear on Uran­tia; and in the pro­duc­tion of Ha­vona Servi­tals the law of spirit dom­i­nance pre­vails; the es­tab­lished ra­tio yields three spir­i­tual be­ings to one semi­phys­i­cal.

25:1.5The newly cre­ated servi­tals, to­gether with newly ap­pear­ing Grad­u­ate Guides, all pass through the courses of train­ing which the se­nior guides con­tin­u­ously con­duct on each of the seven Ha­vona cir­cuits. Servi­tals are then as­signed to the ac­tiv­i­ties for which they are best adapted, and since they are of two types—spir­i­tual and semi­phys­i­cal—there are few lim­its to the range of work these ver­sa­tile be­ings can do. The higher or spirit groups are as­signed se­lec­tively to the ser­vices of the Fa­ther, the Son, and the Spirit, and to the work of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its. In large num­bers they are dis­patched, from time to time, to serve on the study worlds en­cir­cling the head­quar­ters spheres of the seven super­uni­verses, the worlds de­voted to the fi­nal train­ing and spir­i­tual cul­ture of the as­cend­ing souls of time who are prepar­ing for ad­vance­ment to the cir­cuits of Ha­vona. Both spirit servi­tals and their more phys­i­cal fel­lows are also des­ig­nated as­sis­tants and as­so­ciates of the Grad­u­ate Guides in help­ing and in­struct­ing the var­i­ous or­ders of as­cend­ing crea­tures who have at­tained Ha­vona, and who seek to at­tain Par­a­dise.

25:1.6The Ha­vona Servi­tals and the Grad­u­ate Guides man­i­fest a tran­scen­dent de­vo­tion to their work and a touch­ing af­fec­tion for one an­other, an af­fec­tion which, while spir­i­tual, you could only un­der­stand by com­par­i­son with the phe­nom­e­non of hu­man love. There is di­vine pathos in the sep­a­ra­tion of the servi­tals from the guides, as so of­ten oc­curs when the servi­tals are dis­patched on mis­sions be­yond the lim­its of the cen­tral uni­verse; but they go with joy and not with sor­row. The sat­is­fy­ing joy of high duty is the eclips­ing emo­tion of spir­i­tual be­ings. Sor­row can­not ex­ist in the face of the con­scious­ness of di­vine duty faith­fully per­formed. And when man’s as­cend­ing soul stands be­fore the Su­preme Judge, the de­ci­sion of eter­nal im­port will not be de­ter­mined by ma­te­rial suc­cesses or quan­ti­ta­tive achieve­ments; the ver­dict re­ver­ber­at­ing through the high courts de­clares: “Well done, good and faith­ful ser­vant; you have been faith­ful over a few es­sen­tials; you shall be made ruler over uni­verse re­al­i­ties.”

• help ascenders on superuniverse capitals

25:1.7On super­uni­verse ser­vice the Ha­vona Servi­tals are al­ways as­signed to that do­main pre­sided over by the Mas­ter Spirit whom they most re­sem­ble in gen­eral and spe­cial spirit pre­rog­a­tives. They serve only on the ed­u­ca­tional worlds sur­round­ing the cap­i­tals of the seven super­uni­verses, and the last re­port of Uversa in­di­cates that al­most 138 bil­lion servi­tals were min­is­ter­ing on its 490 satel­lites. They en­gage in an end­less va­ri­ety of ac­tiv­i­ties in con­nec­tion with the work of these ed­u­ca­tional worlds com­pris­ing the super­uni­ver­si­ties of the super­uni­verse of Or­von­ton. Here they are your com­pan­ions; they have come down from your next ca­reer to study you and to in­spire you with the re­al­ity and cer­tainty of your even­tual grad­u­a­tion from the uni­verses of time to the realms of eter­nity. And in these con­tacts the servi­tals gain that pre­lim­i­nary ex­pe­ri­ence of min­is­ter­ing to the as­cend­ing crea­tures of time which is so help­ful in their sub­se­quent work on the Ha­vona cir­cuits as as­so­ciates of the Grad­u­ate Guides or—as trans­lated servi­tals—as Grad­u­ate Guides them­selves.

• 7 Universal Conciliators created for each Servital

25:2.1For ev­ery Ha­vona Servi­tal cre­ated, seven Uni­ver­sal Con­cil­ia­tors are brought into be­ing, one in each super­uni­verse. This cre­ative en­act­ment in­volves a def­i­nite super­uni­verse tech­nique of re­flec­tive re­sponse to trans­ac­tions tak­ing place on Par­a­dise.

25:2.2On the head­quar­ters worlds of the seven super­uni­verses there func­tion the seven re­flec­tions of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its. It is dif­fi­cult to un­der­take to por­tray the na­tures of these Re­flec­tive Spir­its to ma­te­rial minds. They are true per­son­al­i­ties; still each mem­ber of a super­uni­verse group is per­fectly re­flec­tive of just one of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its. And ev­ery time the Mas­ter Spir­its as­so­ciate them­selves with the power di­rec­tors for the pur­pose of cre­at­ing a group of Ha­vona Servi­tals, there is a si­mul­ta­ne­ous fo­cal­iza­tion upon one of the Re­flec­tive Spir­its in each of the super­uni­verse groups, and forth­with and full-fledgedly an equal num­ber of Uni­ver­sal Con­cil­ia­tors ap­pear on the head­quar­ters worlds of the super­cre­ations. If, in the cre­ation of servi­tals, Mas­ter Spirit Num­ber Seven should take the ini­tia­tive, none but the Re­flec­tive Spir­its of the sev­enth or­der would be­come preg­nant with con­cil­ia­tors; and con­cur­rently with the cre­ation of one thou­sand Or­von­ton­like servi­tals, one thou­sand of the sev­enth-or­der con­cil­ia­tors would ap­pear on each super­uni­verse cap­i­tal. Out of these episodes, re­flect­ing the sev­en­fold na­ture of the Mas­ter Spir­its, arise the seven cre­ated or­ders of con­cil­ia­tors serv­ing in each super­uni­verse.

• 7 Universal Conciliators created for each Servital

25:3.15The super­uni­verse reg­istries do not enu­mer­ate those con­cil­ia­tors who have passed be­yond their ju­ris­dic­tion, and such com­mis­sions are widely scat­tered through the grand uni­verse. The last re­port of reg­istry on Uversa gives the num­ber op­er­at­ing in Or­von­ton as al­most eigh­teen tril­lion com­mis­sions—over sev­enty tril­lion in­di­vid­u­als. But these are only a very small frac­tion of the mul­ti­tude of con­cil­ia­tors that have been cre­ated in Or­von­ton; that num­ber is of an al­to­gether higher mag­ni­tude and is the equiv­a­lent of the to­tal num­ber of Ha­vona Servi­tals, with al­lowances for the trans­mu­ta­tion into Grad­u­ate Guides.

26:7.4When an as­cen­dant soul ac­tu­ally starts for Par­a­dise, he is ac­com­pa­nied only by the tran­sit trio: the super­aphic cir­cle as­so­ciate, the Grad­u­ate Guide, and the ever-pres­ent servi­tal as­so­ciate of the lat­ter. These ex­cur­sions from the Ha­vona cir­cles to Par­a­dise are trial trips; the as­cend­ers are not yet of Par­a­dise sta­tus. They do not achieve res­i­den­tial sta­tus on Par­a­dise un­til they have passed through the ter­mi­nal rest of time sub­se­quent to the at­tain­ment of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther and the fi­nal clear­ance of the Ha­vona cir­cuits. Not un­til af­ter the di­vine rest do they par­take of the “essence of di­vin­ity” and the “spirit of su­prem­acy” and thus re­ally be­gin to func­tion in the cir­cle of eter­nity and in the pres­ence of the Trin­ity.

26:8.5The de­feated can­di­dates for the De­ity ad­ven­ture are placed un­der the ju­ris­dic­tion of the chiefs of as­sign­ment, a group of pri­mary super­na­phim, and are re­manded to the work of the realms of space for a pe­riod of not less than one mil­len­nium. They never re­turn to the super­uni­verse of their na­tiv­ity, al­ways to that super­cre­ation most pro­pi­tious for their re­train­ing in prepa­ra­tion for the sec­ond De­ity ad­ven­ture. Fol­low­ing this ser­vice, on their own mo­tion, they re­turn to the outer cir­cle of Ha­vona, are im­me­di­ately es­corted to the cir­cle of their in­ter­rupted ca­reer, and at once re­sume their prepa­ra­tions for the De­ity ad­ven­ture. Never do the sec­ondary super­na­phim fail to pi­lot their sub­jects suc­cess­fully on the sec­ond at­tempt, and the same super­aphic min­is­ters and other guides al­ways at­tend these can­di­dates dur­ing this sec­ond ad­ven­ture.

38:7.6Cheru­bim and sa­no­bim are by na­ture very near the mor­ontia level of ex­is­tence, and they prove to be most ef­fi­cient in the bor­der­land work of the phys­i­cal, mor­ontial, and spir­i­tual do­mains. These chil­dren of the lo­cal uni­verse Mother Spirit are char­ac­ter­ized by “fourth crea­tures” much as are the Ha­vona Servi­tals and the con­cil­i­at­ing com­mis­sions. Ev­ery fourth cheru­bim and ev­ery fourth sa­no­bim are quasi-ma­te­rial, very def­i­nitely re­sem­bling the mor­ontia level of ex­is­tence.

• fourth creatures discern reality of spirit and matter; are semiphysical

44:0.17There are cer­tain types of be­ings who are ca­pa­ble of dis­cern­ing the re­al­ity of the crea­tures of both the spirit and the ma­te­rial worlds. Be­long­ing to this class are the so-called fourth crea­tures of the Ha­vona Servi­tals and the fourth crea­tures of the con­cil­ia­tors. The an­gels of time and space are en­dowed with the abil­ity to dis­cern both spirit and ma­te­rial be­ings as also are the as­cend­ing mor­tals sub­se­quent to de­liv­er­ance from the life in the flesh. Af­ter at­tain­ment of the higher spirit lev­els the as­cend­ers are able to rec­og­nize ma­te­rial, mor­ontia, and spirit re­al­i­ties.
