Master Spirit #7

• we will recognize M.S.#7 on 7th Havona circuit

14:5.4When in­tel­li­gent be­ings first at­tain the cen­tral uni­verse, they are re­ceived and domi­ciled on the pi­lot world of the sev­enth Ha­vona cir­cuit. As the new ar­rivals pro­gress spir­i­tu­ally, at­tain iden­tity com­pre­hen­sion of their super­uni­verse Mas­ter Spirit, they are trans­ferred to the sixth cir­cle. (It is from these ar­range­ments in the cen­tral uni­verse that the cir­cles of prog­ress in the hu­man mind have been des­ig­nated.) Af­ter as­cend­ers have at­tained a re­al­iza­tion of Su­prem­acy and are thereby pre­pared for the De­ity ad­ven­ture, they are taken to the fifth cir­cuit; and af­ter at­tain­ing the In­fi­nite Spirit, they are trans­ferred to the fourth. Fol­low­ing the at­tain­ment of the Eter­nal Son, they are re­moved to the third; and when they have rec­og­nized the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther, they go to so­journ on the sec­ond cir­cuit of worlds, where they be­come more fa­mil­iar with the Par­a­dise hosts. Ar­rival on the first cir­cuit of Ha­vona sig­ni­fies the ac­cep­tance of the can­di­dates of time into the ser­vice of Par­a­dise. In­def­i­nitely, ac­cord­ing to the length and na­ture of the crea­ture as­cen­sion, they will tarry on the in­ner cir­cuit of pro­gres­sive spir­i­tual at­tain­ment. From this in­ner cir­cuit the as­cend­ing pil­grims pass in­ward to Par­a­dise res­i­dence and ad­mis­sion to the Corps of the Fi­nal­ity.

16:1.2While the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its are hardly ex­pres­sive of three­fold De­ity, they are the eter­nal por­trayal of sev­en­fold De­ity, the ac­tive and as­so­cia­tive func­tions of the three ever-ex­is­tent per­sons of De­ity. By and in and through these Seven Spir­its, the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther, the Eter­nal Son, or the In­fi­nite Spirit, or any dual as­so­ci­a­tion, is able to func­tion as such. When the Fa­ther, the Son, and the Spirit act to­gether, they can and do func­tion through Mas­ter Spirit Num­ber Seven, but not as the Trin­ity. The Mas­ter Spir­its singly and col­lec­tively rep­re­sent any and all pos­si­ble De­ity func­tions, sin­gle and sev­eral, but not col­lec­tive, not the Trin­ity. Mas­ter Spirit Num­ber Seven is per­son­ally non­func­tional with re­gard to the Par­a­dise Trin­ity, and that is just why he can func­tion per­son­ally for the Su­preme Be­ing.

16:3.14Mas­ter Spirit Num­ber Seven. The pre­sid­ing Spirit of the sev­enth super­uni­verse is a uniquely equal por­trayal of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther, the Eter­nal Son, and the In­fi­nite Spirit. The Sev­enth Spirit, the fos­ter­ing ad­viser of all tri­une-ori­gin be­ings, is also the ad­viser and di­rec­tor of all the as­cend­ing pil­grims of Ha­vona, those lowly be­ings who have at­tained the courts of glory through the com­bined min­istry of the Fa­ther, the Son, and the Spirit.

16:3.15The Sev­enth Mas­ter Spirit is not or­gan­i­cally rep­re­sen­ta­tive of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity; but it is a known fact that his per­sonal and spir­i­tual na­ture is the Con­joint Ac­tor’s por­trai­ture in equal pro­por­tions of the three in­fi­nite per­sons whose De­ity union is the Par­a­dise Trin­ity, and whose func­tion as such is the source of the per­sonal and spir­i­tual na­ture of God the Su­preme. Hence the Sev­enth Mas­ter Spirit dis­closes a per­sonal and or­ganic re­la­tion­ship to the spirit per­son of the evolv­ing Su­preme. There­fore in the Mas­ter Spirit coun­cils on high, when it be­comes nec­es­sary to cast the bal­lot for the com­bined per­sonal at­ti­tude of the Fa­ther, Son, and Spirit or to de­pict the spir­i­tual at­ti­tude of the Su­preme Be­ing, it is Mas­ter Spirit Num­ber Seven who func­tions. He thus in­her­ently be­comes the pre­sid­ing head of the Par­a­dise coun­cil of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its.

16:3.16No one of the Seven Spir­its is or­gan­i­cally rep­re­sen­ta­tive of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity, but when they unite as sev­en­fold De­ity, this union in a de­ity sense—not in a per­sonal sense—equiv­alates to a func­tional level as­so­cia­ble with Trin­ity func­tions. In this sense the “Sev­en­fold Spirit” is func­tion­ally as­so­cia­ble with the Par­a­dise Trin­ity. It is also in this sense that Mas­ter Spirit Num­ber Seven some­times speaks in con­fir­ma­tion of Trin­ity at­ti­tudes or, rather, acts as spokesman for the at­ti­tude of the Sev­en­fold-Spirit-union re­gard­ing the at­ti­tude of the Three­fold-De­ity-union, the at­ti­tude of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity.

16:3.17The mul­ti­ple func­tions of the Sev­enth Mas­ter Spirit thus range from a com­bined por­trai­ture of the per­sonal na­tures of the Fa­ther, Son, and Spirit, through a rep­re­sen­ta­tion of the per­sonal at­ti­tude of God the Su­preme, to a dis­clo­sure of the de­ity at­ti­tude of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity. And in cer­tain re­spects this pre­sid­ing Spirit is sim­i­larly ex­pres­sive of the at­ti­tudes of the Ul­ti­mate and of the Su­preme-Ul­ti­mate.

16:3.18It is Mas­ter Spirit Num­ber Seven who, in his mul­ti­ple ca­pac­i­ties, per­son­ally spon­sors the prog­ress of the as­cen­sion can­di­dates from the worlds of time in their at­tempts to achieve com­pre­hen­sion of the un­di­vided De­ity of Su­prem­acy. Such com­pre­hen­sion in­volves a grasp of the ex­is­ten­tial sov­er­eignty of the Trin­ity of Su­prem­acy so co-or­di­nated with a con­cept of the grow­ing ex­pe­ri­en­tial sov­er­eignty of the Su­preme Be­ing as to con­sti­tute the crea­ture grasp of the unity of Su­prem­acy. Crea­ture re­al­iza­tion of these three fac­tors equals Ha­vona com­pre­hen­sion of Trin­ity re­al­ity and en­dows the pil­grims of time with the abil­ity even­tu­ally to pen­e­trate the Trin­ity, to dis­cover the three in­fi­nite per­sons of De­ity.

16:3.19The in­abil­ity of the Ha­vona pil­grims fully to find God the Su­preme is com­pen­sated by the Sev­enth Mas­ter Spirit, whose tri­une na­ture in such a pe­cu­liar man­ner is rev­e­la­tory of the spirit per­son of the Su­preme. Dur­ing the pres­ent uni­verse age of the non­con­tactabil­ity of the per­son of the Su­preme, Mas­ter Spirit Num­ber Seven func­tions in the place of the God of as­cen­dant crea­tures in the mat­ter of per­sonal re­la­tion­ships. He is the one high spirit be­ing that all as­cend­ers are cer­tain to rec­og­nize and some­what com­pre­hend when they reach the cen­ters of glory.

16:3.20This Mas­ter Spirit is al­ways in li­ai­son with the Re­flec­tive Spir­its of Uversa, the head­quar­ters of the sev­enth super­uni­verse, our own seg­ment of cre­ation. His ad­min­is­tra­tion of Or­von­ton dis­closes the mar­velous sym­me­try of the co-or­di­nate blend­ing of the di­vine na­tures of Fa­ther, Son, and Spirit.

26:6.3I am some­what at a loss to ex­plain what takes place on this cir­cle. No per­son­al­ized pres­ence of Su­prem­acy is per­cep­ti­ble to the as­cend­ers. In cer­tain re­spects, new re­la­tion­ships with the Sev­enth Mas­ter Spirit com­pen­sate this non­con­tactabil­ity of the Su­preme Be­ing. But re­gard­less of our in­abil­ity to grasp the tech­nique, each as­cend­ing crea­ture seems to un­dergo a trans­form­ing growth, a new in­te­gra­tion of con­scious­ness, a new spir­i­tu­al­iza­tion of pur­pose, a new sen­si­tiv­ity for di­vin­ity, which can hardly be sat­is­fac­to­rily ex­plained with­out as­sum­ing the un­re­vealed ac­tiv­ity of the Su­preme Be­ing. To those of us who have ob­served these mys­te­ri­ous trans­ac­tions, it ap­pears as if God the Su­preme were af­fec­tion­ately be­stow­ing upon his ex­pe­ri­en­tial chil­dren, up to the very lim­its of their ex­pe­ri­en­tial ca­pac­i­ties, those en­hance­ments of in­tel­lec­tual grasp, of spir­i­tual in­sight, and of per­son­al­ity out­reach which they will so need, in all their ef­forts at pen­e­trat­ing the di­vin­ity level of the Trin­ity of Su­prem­acy, to achieve the eter­nal and ex­is­ten­tial De­i­ties of Par­a­dise.

34:2.6While the sev­enth seg­ment of the grand uni­verse may, in many re­spects, be tardy in de­vel­op­ment, thought­ful stu­dents of our prob­lems look for­ward to the evo­lu­tion of an ex­traor­di­nar­ily well-bal­anced cre­ation in the ages to come. We pre­dict this high de­gree of sym­me­try in Or­von­ton be­cause the pre­sid­ing Spirit of this super­uni­verse is the chief of the Mas­ter Spir­its on high, be­ing a spirit in­tel­li­gence em­body­ing the bal­anced union and per­fect co-or­di­na­tion of the traits and char­ac­ter of all three of the eter­nal De­i­ties. We are tardy and back­ward in com­par­i­son with other sec­tors, but there un­doubt­edly awaits us a tran­scen­dent de­vel­op­ment and an un­prece­dented achieve­ment some­time in the eter­nal ages of the fu­ture.

116:4.2Dur­ing those ages in which the sov­er­eignty of Su­prem­acy is un­der­go­ing its time de­vel­op­ment, the al­mighty power of the Su­preme is de­pen­dent on the di­vin­ity acts of God the Sev­en­fold, while there seems to be a par­tic­u­larly close re­la­tion­ship be­tween the Su­preme Be­ing and the Con­joint Ac­tor to­gether with his pri­mary per­son­al­i­ties, the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its. The In­fi­nite Spirit as the Con­joint Ac­tor func­tions in many ways which com­pen­sate the in­com­ple­tion of evo­lu­tion­ary De­ity and sus­tains very close re­la­tions to the Su­preme. This close­ness of re­la­tion­ship is shared in mea­sure by all of the Mas­ter Spir­its but es­pe­cially by Mas­ter Spirit Num­ber Seven, who speaks for the Su­preme. This Mas­ter Spirit knows—is in per­sonal con­tact with—the Su­preme.
