15:9.132. The cir­cuit of the Di­vine Min­is­ters, the lo­cal uni­verse Mother Spir­its, the Holy Spirit of your world.

28:5.22So it is with mor­tal man: The Mother Spirit of Sal­ving­ton knows you fully, for the Holy Spirit on your world “searches all things,” and what­so­ever the di­vine Spirit knows of you is im­me­di­ately avail­able when­ever the sec­o­raphic dis­cern­ers re­flect with the Spirit con­cern­ing the Spirit’s knowl­edge of you. It should, how­ever, be men­tioned that the knowl­edge and plans of the Fa­ther frag­ments are not re­flectible. The dis­cern­ers can and do re­flect the pres­ence of the Ad­justers (and the Cen­sors pro­nounce them di­vine), but they can­not de­ci­pher the con­tent of the mind­ed­ness of the Mys­tery Mon­i­tors.

33:3.2The Uni­verse Mother Spirit of Sal­ving­ton, the as­so­ciate of Mi­chael in the con­trol and ad­min­is­tra­tion of Neb­a­don, is of the sixth group of Su­preme Spir­its, be­ing the 611,121st of that or­der. She vol­un­teered to ac­com­pany Mi­chael on the oc­ca­sion of his lib­er­a­tion from Par­a­dise obli­ga­tions and has ever since func­tioned with him in cre­at­ing and gov­ern­ing his uni­verse.

33:3.3The Mas­ter Cre­ator Son is the per­sonal sov­er­eign of his uni­verse, but in all the de­tails of its man­age­ment the Uni­verse Spirit is codi­rec­tor with the Son. While the Spirit ever ac­knowl­edges the Son as sov­er­eign and ruler, the Son al­ways ac­cords the Spirit a co-or­di­nate po­si­tion and equal­ity of au­thor­ity in all the af­fairs of the realm. In all his work of love and life be­stowal the Cre­ator Son is al­ways and ever per­fectly sus­tained and ably as­sisted by the all-wise and ever-faith­ful Uni­verse Spirit and by all of her di­ver­si­fied ret­inue of an­gelic per­son­al­i­ties. Such a Di­vine Min­is­ter is in re­al­ity the mother of spir­its and spirit per­son­al­i­ties, the ever-pres­ent and all-wise ad­viser of the Cre­ator Son, a faith­ful and true man­i­fes­ta­tion of the Par­a­dise In­fi­nite Spirit.

33:3.4The Son func­tions as a fa­ther in his lo­cal uni­verse. The Spirit, as mor­tal crea­tures would un­der­stand, en­acts the role of a mother, al­ways as­sist­ing the Son and be­ing ev­er­last­ingly in­dis­pens­able to the ad­min­is­tra­tion of the uni­verse. In the face of in­sur­rec­tion only the Son and his as­so­ci­ated Sons can func­tion as de­liv­er­ers. Never can the Spirit un­der­take to con­test re­bel­lion or de­fend au­thor­ity, but ever does the Spirit sus­tain the Son in all of ev­ery­thing he may be re­quired to ex­pe­ri­ence in his ef­forts to sta­bi­lize gov­ern­ment and up­hold au­thor­ity on worlds tainted with evil or dom­i­nated by sin. Only a Son can re­trieve the work of their joint cre­ation, but no Son could hope for fi­nal suc­cess with­out the in­ces­sant co-op­er­a­tion of the Di­vine Min­is­ter and her vast as­sem­blage of spirit helpers, the daugh­ters of God, who so faith­fully and valiantly strug­gle for the wel­fare of mor­tal men and the glory of their di­vine par­ents.

33:3.5Upon the com­ple­tion of the Cre­ator Son’s sev­enth and fi­nal crea­ture be­stowal, the un­cer­tain­ties of pe­ri­odic iso­la­tion ter­mi­nate for the Di­vine Min­is­ter, and the Son’s uni­verse helper be­comes for­ever set­tled in surety and con­trol. It is at the en­throne­ment of the Cre­ator Son as a Mas­ter Son, at the ju­bilee of ju­bilees, that the Uni­verse Spirit, be­fore the as­sem­bled hosts, first makes pub­lic and uni­ver­sal ac­knowl­edg­ment of sub­or­di­na­tion to the Son, pledg­ing fi­delity and obe­di­ence. This event oc­curred in Neb­a­don at the time of Mi­chael’s re­turn to Sal­ving­ton af­ter the Uran­tian be­stowal. Never be­fore this mo­men­tous oc­ca­sion did the Uni­verse Spirit ac­knowl­edge sub­or­di­na­tion to the Uni­verse Son, and not un­til af­ter this vol­un­tary re­lin­quish­ment of power and au­thor­ity by the Spirit could it be truth­fully pro­claimed of the Son that “all power in heaven and on earth has been com­mit­ted to his hand.”

34:4.7The Uni­verse Mother Spirit, how­ever, never leaves the lo­cal uni­verse head­quar­ters world. The spirit of the Cre­ator Son may and does func­tion in­de­pen­dently of the per­sonal pres­ence of the Son, but not so with her per­sonal spirit. The Holy Spirit of the Di­vine Min­is­ter would be­come non­func­tional if her per­sonal pres­ence should be re­moved from Sal­ving­ton. Her spirit pres­ence seems to be fixed on the uni­verse head­quar­ters world, and it is this very fact that en­ables the spirit of the Cre­ator Son to func­tion in­de­pen­dently of the where­abouts of the Son. The Uni­verse Mother Spirit acts as the uni­verse fo­cus and cen­ter of the Spirit of Truth as well as of her own per­sonal in­flu­ence, the Holy Spirit.

45:1.8Num­ber 6. The World of the Spirit. This sphere serves as the sys­tem ren­dezvous of the high per­son­al­i­ties of the In­fi­nite Spirit. Its seven sur­round­ing satel­lites are as­signed to in­di­vid­ual groups of these di­verse or­ders. But on tran­si­tion world num­ber six there is no rep­re­sen­ta­tion of the Spirit, nei­ther is such a pres­ence to be ob­served on the sys­tem cap­i­tals; the Di­vine Min­is­ter of Sal­ving­ton is ev­ery­where in Neb­a­don.

54:5.1110. The Di­vine Min­is­ter of Sal­ving­ton is­sued as her third in­de­pen­dent procla­ma­tion a man­date di­rect­ing that noth­ing be done to half cure, cow­ardly sup­press, or oth­er­wise hide the hideous vis­age of rebels and re­bel­lion. The an­gelic hosts were di­rected to work for full dis­clo­sure and un­lim­ited op­por­tu­nity for sin-ex­pres­sion as the quick­est tech­nique of achiev­ing the per­fect and fi­nal cure of the plague of evil and sin.
