High Son Assistants

• carry out routine major and minor sector work
• Trinity-embraced finaliter and Paradise-Havoner trinitized sons

18:4.4The Per­fec­tions of Days have a mod­er­ate-sized corps of Di­vine Coun­selors, Per­fec­tors of Wis­dom, and Uni­ver­sal Cen­sors at­tached to their gov­ern­ments. They have still larger num­bers of Mighty Mes­sen­gers, Those High in Au­thor­ity, and Those with­out Name and Num­ber. But much of the rou­tine work of ma­jor sec­tor af­fairs is car­ried on by the Ce­les­tial Guard­i­ans and the High Son As­sis­tants. These two groups are drawn from among the trin­i­tized off­spring of ei­ther Par­a­dise-Ha­vona per­son­al­i­ties or glo­ri­fied mor­tal fi­nal­i­ters. Cer­tain of these two or­ders of crea­ture-trin­i­tized be­ings are re­trini­tized by the Par­a­dise De­i­ties and then are dis­patched to as­sist in the ad­min­is­tra­tion of the super­uni­verse gov­ern­ments.

18:4.5Most of the Ce­les­tial Guard­i­ans and the High Son As­sis­tants are as­signed to the ser­vice of the ma­jor and the mi­nor sec­tors, but the Trin­i­tized Cus­to­di­ans (Trin­ity-em­braced ser­a­phim and mid­way­ers) are the of­fi­cers of the courts of all three di­vi­sions, func­tion­ing in the tri­bu­nals of the An­cients of Days, the Per­fec­tions of Days, and the Re­cents of Days. The Trin­i­tized Am­bas­sadors (Trin­ity-em­braced as­cen­dant mor­tals of Son- or Spirit-fused na­ture) may be en­coun­tered any­where in a super­uni­verse, but the ma­jor­ity are in the ser­vice of the mi­nor sec­tors.

• Trinity-embraced finaliter and Paradise-Havoner trinitized sons

22:1.12The Trin­i­tized Sons of Per­fec­tion. The Ce­les­tial Guard­i­ans and their co-or­di­nates, the High Son As­sis­tants, com­prise a unique group of twice-trin­i­tized per­son­al­i­ties. They are the crea­ture-trin­i­tized sons of Par­a­dise-Ha­vona per­son­al­i­ties or of per­fected as­cen­dant mor­tals who have long dis­tin­guished them­selves in the Corps of the Fi­nal­ity. Some of these crea­ture-trin­i­tized sons, af­ter ser­vice with the Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its and af­ter serv­ing un­der the Trin­ity Teacher Sons, are re­trini­tized (em­braced) by the Par­a­dise Trin­ity and then com­mis­sioned to the courts of the An­cients of Days as Ce­les­tial Guard­i­ans and as High Son As­sis­tants. Trin­i­tized Sons of Per­fec­tion are as­signed di­rectly to the super­uni­verse ser­vice with­out fur­ther train­ing.

• of more distinguished performance than Celestial Guardians

22:9.1Crea­ture-trin­i­tized sons are em­braced by the Par­a­dise Trin­ity in classes of seven thou­sand. These trin­i­tized off­spring of per­fected hu­mans and of Par­a­dise-Ha­vona per­son­al­i­ties are all equally em­braced by the De­i­ties, but they are as­signed to the super­uni­verses in ac­cor­dance with the ad­vice of their for­mer in­struc­tors, the Trin­ity Teacher Sons. Those of more ac­cept­able ser­vice are com­mis­sioned High Son As­sis­tants; those of less dis­tin­guished per­for­mance are des­ig­nated Ce­les­tial Guard­i­ans.

• not indwelt by Adjusters

22:9.5The Ce­les­tial Guard­i­ans and their as­so­ciates, the High Son As­sis­tants, have never been in­dwelt by Ad­justers. Nei­ther are they Spirit nor Son fused. The em­brace of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity does, how­ever, com­pen­sate for the non­fused sta­tus of the Trin­i­tized Sons of Per­fec­tion. The Trin­ity em­brace may act solely upon the idea which is per­son­i­fied in a crea­ture-trin­i­tized son, leav­ing the em­braced son oth­er­wise un­changed, but such a lim­i­ta­tion oc­curs only when so planned.

• of more distinguished performance than Celestial Guardians
• private secretaries to high superuniverse Sons

22:10.1The High Son As­sis­tants are the su­pe­rior group of the re­trini­tized trin­i­tized sons of glo­ri­fied as­cen­dant be­ings of the Mor­tal Corps of the Fi­nal­ity and of their eter­nal as­so­ciates, the Par­a­dise-Ha­vona per­son­al­i­ties. They are as­signed to the super­uni­verse ser­vice and func­tion as per­sonal aids to the high sons of the gov­ern­ments of the An­cients of Days. They might fit­tingly be de­nom­i­nated pri­vate sec­re­taries. They act, from time to time, as clerks for spe­cial com­mis­sions and other group as­so­ci­a­tions of the high sons. They serve Per­fec­tors of Wis­dom, Di­vine Coun­selors, Uni­ver­sal Cen­sors, Mighty Mes­sen­gers, Those High in Au­thor­ity, and Those with­out Name and Num­ber.

• are personification of some single universal ideal
• impart inexpressible illumination to deliberations

22:10.2If, in dis­cussing the Ce­les­tial Guard­i­ans, I have seemed to call at­ten­tion to the lim­i­ta­tions and hand­i­caps of these twice-trin­i­tized sons, let me now, in all fair­ness, call at­ten­tion to their one point of great strength, the at­tri­bute which makes them al­most in­valu­able to us. These be­ings owe their very ex­is­tence to the fact that they are the per­son­i­fi­ca­tion of a sin­gle and su­preme con­cept. They are the per­son­al­ity em­bod­i­ment of some di­vine idea, some uni­ver­sal ideal, as it has never be­fore been con­ceived, ex­pressed, or trin­i­tized. And they have sub­se­quently been Trin­ity em­braced; thus they show forth and ac­tu­ally em­body the very wis­dom of the di­vine Trin­ity as con­cerns the idea-ideal of their per­son­al­ity ex­is­tence. As far as that par­tic­u­lar con­cept is re­veal­able to the uni­verses, these per­son­al­i­ties em­body all of ev­ery­thing that any crea­ture or Cre­ator in­tel­li­gence could pos­si­bly con­ceive, ex­press, or ex­em­plify. They are that idea per­son­i­fied.

22:10.3Can you not see that such liv­ing con­cen­tra­tions of a sin­gle su­preme con­cept of uni­verse re­al­ity would be of un­told ser­vice to those who are in­trusted with the ad­min­is­tra­tion of the super­uni­verses?

22:10.4Not long since I was di­rected to head a com­mis­sion of six—one of each of the high sons—as­signed to the study of three prob­lems per­tain­ing to a group of new uni­verses in the south parts of Or­von­ton. I was made acutely aware of the value of the High Son As­sis­tants when I made req­ui­si­tion on the chief of their or­der on Uversa for tem­po­rary as­sign­ment of such sec­re­taries to my com­mis­sion. The first of our ideas was rep­re­sented by a High Son As­sis­tant on Uversa, who was forth­with at­tached to our group. Our sec­ond prob­lem was em­bod­ied in a High Son As­sis­tant as­signed to super­uni­verse num­ber three. We se­cured much help from this source through the cen­tral uni­verse clear­ing­house for the co-or­di­na­tion and dis­sem­i­na­tion of es­sen­tial knowl­edge, but noth­ing com­pa­ra­ble to the as­sis­tance af­forded by the ac­tual pres­ence of a per­son­al­ity who is a con­cept crea­ture-trin­i­tized in su­prem­acy and De­ity-trin­i­tized in fi­nal­ity. Con­cern­ing our third prob­lem, the rec­ords of Par­a­dise dis­closed that such an idea had never been crea­ture trin­i­tized.

22:10.5High Son As­sis­tants are unique and orig­i­nal per­son­al­iza­tions of tremen­dous con­cepts and stu­pen­dous ide­als. And as such they are able to im­part in­ex­press­ible il­lu­mi­na­tion to our de­lib­er­a­tions from time to time. When I am act­ing on some re­mote as­sign­ment out in the uni­verses of space, think what it means, by way of as­sis­tance, if I am so for­tu­nate as to have at­tached to my mis­sion a High Son As­sis­tant who is the full­ness of di­vine con­cept re­gard­ing the very prob­lem I have been sent to at­tack and solve; and I have re­peat­edly had this very ex­pe­ri­ence. The only dif­fi­culty with this plan is that no super­uni­verse can have a com­plete edi­tion of these trin­i­tized ideas; we only get one sev­enth of these be­ings; so it is only about one time in seven that we en­joy the per­sonal as­so­ci­a­tion of these be­ings even when the rec­ords in­di­cate that the idea has been trin­i­tized.

22:10.6We could use to great ad­van­tage much larger num­bers of these be­ings on Uversa. Be­cause of their value to the super­uni­verse ad­min­is­tra­tions, we, in ev­ery way pos­si­ble, en­cour­age the pil­grims of space and also the res­i­dents of Par­a­dise to at­tempt trin­i­ti­za­tion af­ter they have con­tributed to one an­other those ex­pe­ri­en­tial re­al­i­ties which are es­sen­tial to the en­act­ment of such cre­ative ad­ven­tures.

• not permanently assigned
• number 8.75 million in superuniverses

22:10.7We now have in our super­uni­verse about one and a quar­ter mil­lion High Son As­sis­tants, and they serve on both the ma­jor and mi­nor sec­tors, even as they func­tion on Uversa. They very of­ten ac­com­pany us on our as­sign­ments to the re­mote uni­verses. High Son As­sis­tants are not per­ma­nently as­signed to any Son or to any com­mis­sion. They are in con­stant cir­cu­la­tion, serv­ing where the idea or ideal which they are can best fur­ther the eter­nal pur­poses of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity, whose sons they have be­come.

• affectionate, loyal, humble, and supremely wise regarding concept they personify

22:10.8They are touch­ingly af­fec­tion­ate, su­perbly loyal, ex­qui­sitely in­tel­li­gent, su­premely wise—re­gard­ing a sin­gle idea—and tran­scen­dently hum­ble. While they can im­part to you the lore of the uni­verse con­cern­ing their one idea or ideal, it is well-nigh pa­thetic to ob­serve them seek­ing knowl­edge and in­for­ma­tion on hosts of other sub­jects, even from the as­cend­ing mor­tals.

22:10.9And this is the nar­ra­tive of the ori­gin, na­ture, and func­tion­ing of cer­tain of those who are called the Trin­i­tized Sons of God, more par­tic­u­larly of those who have passed through the di­vine em­brace of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity, and who have then been as­signed to the ser­vices of the super­uni­verses, there to give wise and un­der­stand­ing co-op­er­a­tion with the ad­min­is­tra­tors of the An­cients of Days in their un­tir­ing ef­forts to fa­cil­i­tate the in­ward prog­ress of the as­cend­ing mor­tals of time to­ward their im­me­di­ate Ha­vona des­ti­na­tion and their even­tual Par­a­dise goal.
