0:3.142. The mind forces are con­ver­gent in the In­fi­nite Spirit; the dif­fer­en­tial and di­ver­gent cos­mic mind in the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its; the fac­tu­al­iz­ing mind of the Su­preme as a time-space ex­pe­ri­ence in Maj­es­ton.

0:7.9The Su­preme Be­ing is not a di­rect cre­ator, ex­cept that he is the fa­ther of Maj­es­ton, but he is a syn­thetic co-or­di­na­tor of all crea­ture-Cre­ator uni­verse ac­tiv­i­ties. The Su­preme Be­ing, now ac­tu­al­iz­ing in the evo­lu­tion­ary uni­verses, is the De­ity cor­re­la­tor and syn­the­sizer of time-space di­vin­ity, of tri­une Par­a­dise De­ity in ex­pe­ri­en­tial as­so­ci­a­tion with the Su­preme Cre­ators of time and space. When fi­nally ac­tu­al­ized, this evo­lu­tion­ary De­ity will con­sti­tute the eter­nal fu­sion of the fi­nite and the in­fi­nite—the ev­er­last­ing and in­dis­sol­u­ble union of ex­pe­ri­en­tial power and spirit per­son­al­ity.

14:6.36And lastly, since these Daugh­ter Spir­its of the In­fi­nite Mother Spirit will not likely ever re­turn to their Par­a­dise home, they de­rive great sat­is­fac­tion from the uni­ver­sal re­flec­tiv­ity phe­nom­e­non as­so­ci­ated with the Su­preme Be­ing in Ha­vona and per­son­al­ized in Maj­es­ton on Par­a­dise.

15:10.21The Re­flec­tive Im­age Aids also func­tion as the rep­re­sen­ta­tives of nu­mer­ous groups of be­ings who are in­flu­en­tial in the super­uni­verse gov­ern­ments, but who are not, at pres­ent, for var­i­ous rea­sons, fully ac­tive in their in­di­vid­ual ca­pac­i­ties. Em­braced within this group are: the evolv­ing super­uni­verse per­son­al­ity man­i­fes­ta­tion of the Su­preme Be­ing, the Un­qual­i­fied Super­vi­sors of the Su­preme, the Qual­i­fied Vicegerents of the Ul­ti­mate, the un­named li­ai­son re­flec­ti­va­tors of Maj­es­ton, and the super­per­sonal spirit rep­re­sen­ta­tives of the Eter­nal Son.

17:1.10Once in each Par­a­dise mil­len­nium the Seven Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives va­cate their seats of au­thor­ity and go to Par­a­dise, where they hold their mil­len­nial con­clave of uni­ver­sal greet­ing and well-wish­ing to the in­tel­li­gent hosts of cre­ation. This event­ful oc­ca­sion takes place in the im­me­di­ate pres­ence of Maj­es­ton, the chief of all re­flec­tive spirit groups. And they are thus able to com­mu­ni­cate si­mul­ta­ne­ously with all their as­so­ciates in the grand uni­verse through the unique func­tion­ing of uni­ver­sal re­flec­tiv­ity.

17:2.1The Re­flec­tive Spir­its are of di­vine Trin­ity ori­gin. There are fifty of these unique and some­what mys­te­ri­ous be­ings. Seven of these ex­traor­di­nary per­son­al­i­ties were cre­ated at a time, and each such cre­ative episode was ef­fected by a li­ai­son of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity and one of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its.

17:2.2This mo­men­tous trans­ac­tion, oc­cur­ring in the dawn of time, rep­re­sents the ini­tial ef­fort of the Su­preme Cre­ator Per­son­al­i­ties, rep­re­sented by the Mas­ter Spir­its, to func­tion as cocre­ators with the Par­a­dise Trin­ity. This union of the cre­ative power of the Su­preme Cre­ators with the cre­ative po­ten­tials of the Trin­ity is the very source of the ac­tu­al­ity of the Su­preme Be­ing. There­fore, when the cy­cle of re­flec­tive cre­ation had run its course, when each of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its had found per­fect cre­ative syn­chrony with the Par­a­dise Trin­ity, when the forty-ninth Re­flec­tive Spirit had per­son­al­ized, then a new and far-reach­ing re­ac­tion oc­curred in the De­ity Ab­so­lute which im­parted new per­son­al­ity pre­rog­a­tives to the Su­preme Be­ing and cul­mi­nated in the per­son­al­iza­tion of Maj­es­ton, the re­flec­tiv­ity chief and Par­a­dise cen­ter of all the work of the forty-nine Re­flec­tive Spir­its and their as­so­ciates through­out the uni­verse of uni­verses.

17:2.3Maj­es­ton is a true per­son, the per­sonal and in­fal­li­ble cen­ter of re­flec­tiv­ity phe­nom­ena in all seven super­uni­verses of time and space. He main­tains per­ma­nent Par­a­dise head­quar­ters near the cen­ter of all things at the ren­dezvous of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its. He is con­cerned solely with the co-or­di­na­tion and main­te­nance of the re­flec­tiv­ity ser­vice in the far-flung cre­ation; he is not oth­er­wise in­volved in the ad­min­is­tra­tion of uni­verse af­fairs.

17:2.4Maj­es­ton is not in­cluded in our cat­a­logue of Par­a­dise per­son­al­i­ties be­cause he is the only ex­ist­ing per­son­al­ity of di­vin­ity cre­ated by the Su­preme Be­ing in func­tional li­ai­son with the De­ity Ab­so­lute. He is a per­son, but he is ex­clu­sively and ap­par­ently au­to­mat­i­cally con­cerned with this one phase of uni­verse econ­omy; he does not now func­tion in any per­sonal ca­pac­ity with re­la­tion to other (non­re­flec­tive) or­ders of uni­verse per­son­al­i­ties.

17:2.5The cre­ation of Maj­es­ton sig­nal­ized the first su­preme cre­ative act of the Su­preme Be­ing. This will to ac­tion was vo­li­tional in the Su­preme Be­ing, but the stu­pen­dous re­ac­tion of the De­ity Ab­so­lute was not fore­known. Not since the eter­nity-ap­pear­ance of Ha­vona had the uni­verse wit­nessed such a tremen­dous fac­tu­al­iza­tion of such a gi­gan­tic and far-flung align­ment of power and co-or­di­na­tion of func­tional spirit ac­tiv­i­ties. The De­ity re­sponse to the cre­ative wills of the Su­preme Be­ing and his as­so­ciates was vastly be­yond their pur­pose­ful in­tent and greatly in ex­cess of their con­cep­tual fore­casts.

17:2.6We stand in awe of the pos­si­bil­ity of what the fu­ture ages, wherein the Su­preme and the Ul­ti­mate may at­tain new lev­els of di­vin­ity and as­cend to new do­mains of per­son­al­ity func­tion, may wit­ness in the realms of the deiti­za­tion of still other un­ex­pected and un­dreamed of be­ings who will pos­sess unimag­ined pow­ers of en­hanced uni­verse co-or­di­na­tion. There would seem to be no limit to the De­ity Ab­so­lute’s po­ten­tial of re­sponse to such uni­fi­ca­tion of re­la­tion­ships be­tween ex­pe­ri­en­tial De­ity and the ex­is­ten­tial Par­a­dise Trin­ity.

17:8.74. Through the Re­flec­tive Spir­its they syn­chro­nize the super­uni­verse gov­ern­ments of the An­cients of Days with Maj­es­ton, the Par­a­dise cen­ter of uni­ver­sal re­flec­tiv­ity.

25:8.2Mem­bers of the an­gelic hosts are nom­i­nated for this ser­vice by the lo­cal uni­verse Mother Spir­its, by the super­uni­verse Re­flec­tive Spir­its, and by Maj­es­ton of Par­a­dise. They are sum­moned to the cen­tral Isle and are com­mis­sioned as Par­a­dise Com­pan­ions by one of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its. Aside from per­ma­nent sta­tus on Par­a­dise, this tem­po­rary ser­vice of Par­a­dise com­pan­ion­ship is the high­est honor ever con­ferred upon the min­is­ter­ing spir­its.

30:1.109Maj­es­ton of Par­a­dise.

30:1.110The Un­named Re­flec­ti­va­tor Li­aisons of Maj­es­ton.

106:8.20The first level con­sists of three Trin­i­ties; the sec­ond level ex­ists as the per­son­al­ity as­so­ci­a­tion of ex­pe­ri­en­tial-evolved, ex­pe­ri­en­tial-even­tu­ated, and ex­pe­ri­en­tial-ex­is­ten­tial De­ity per­son­al­i­ties. And re­gard­less of any con­cep­tual dif­fi­culty in un­der­stand­ing the com­plete Trin­ity of Trin­i­ties, the per­sonal as­so­ci­a­tion of these three De­i­ties on the sec­ond level has be­come man­i­fest to our own uni­verse age in the phe­nom­e­non of the deiti­za­tion of Maj­es­ton, who was ac­tu­al­ized on this sec­ond level by the De­ity Ab­so­lute, act­ing through the Ul­ti­mate and in re­sponse to the ini­tial cre­ative man­date of the Su­preme Be­ing.

116:4.3Early in the pro­jec­tion of the super­uni­verse scheme of cre­ation, the Mas­ter Spir­its joined with the an­ces­tral Trin­ity in the cocre­ation of the forty-nine Re­flec­tive Spir­its, and con­comi­tantly the Su­preme Be­ing func­tioned cre­atively as the cul­mi­na­tor of the con­joined acts of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity and the cre­ative chil­dren of Par­a­dise De­ity. Maj­es­ton ap­peared and ever since has fo­cal­ized the cos­mic pres­ence of the Su­preme Mind, while the Mas­ter Spir­its con­tinue as source-cen­ters for the far-flung min­istry of the cos­mic mind.

117:3.11Dur­ing the pres­ent uni­verse age the Su­preme Be­ing is ap­par­ently un­able to func­tion di­rectly as a cre­ator ex­cept in those in­stances where the fi­nite pos­si­bil­i­ties of ac­tion have been ex­hausted by the cre­ative agen­cies of time and space. Thus far in uni­verse his­tory this has tran­spired but once; when the pos­si­bil­i­ties of fi­nite ac­tion in the mat­ter of uni­verse re­flec­tiv­ity had been ex­hausted, then did the Su­preme func­tion as the cre­ative cul­mi­na­tor of all an­te­ced­ent cre­ator ac­tions. And we be­lieve he will again func­tion as a cul­mi­na­tor in fu­ture ages when­ever an­te­ced­ent cre­ator­ship has com­pleted an ap­pro­pri­ate cy­cle of cre­ative ac­tiv­ity.
