7:5.8What­ever our dif­fi­culty in com­pre­hend­ing the be­stowals of the Sec­ond Per­son of De­ity, we do com­pre­hend the Ha­vona be­stowal of a Son of the Eter­nal Son, who lit­er­ally passed through the cir­cuits of the cen­tral uni­verse and ac­tu­ally shared those ex­pe­ri­ences which con­sti­tute an as­cender’s prepa­ra­tion for De­ity at­tain­ment. This was the orig­i­nal Mi­chael, the first-born Cre­ator Son, and he passed through the life ex­pe­ri­ences of the as­cend­ing pil­grims from cir­cuit to cir­cuit, per­son­ally jour­ney­ing a stage of each cir­cle with them in the days of Grand­fanda, the first of all mor­tals to at­tain Ha­vona.

7:5.9What­ever else this orig­i­nal Mi­chael re­vealed, he made the tran­scen­dent be­stowal of the Orig­i­nal Mother Son real to the crea­tures of Ha­vona. So real, that forever­more each pil­grim of time who labors in the ad­ven­ture of mak­ing the Ha­vona cir­cuits is cheered and strength­ened by the cer­tain knowl­edge that the Eter­nal Son of God seven times ab­di­cated the power and glory of Par­a­dise to par­tic­i­pate in the ex­pe­ri­ences of the time-space pil­grims on the seven cir­cuits of pro­gres­sive Ha­vona at­tain­ment.

8:4.3On Uran­tia the In­fi­nite Spirit is known as an om­ni­pres­ent in­flu­ence, a uni­ver­sal pres­ence, but in Ha­vona you shall know him as a per­sonal pres­ence of ac­tual min­istry. Here the min­istry of the Par­a­dise Spirit is the ex­em­plary and in­spir­ing pat­tern for each of his co-or­di­nate Spir­its and sub­or­di­nate per­son­al­i­ties min­is­ter­ing to the cre­ated be­ings on the worlds of time and space. In this di­vine uni­verse the In­fi­nite Spirit fully par­tic­i­pated in the seven tran­scen­den­tal ap­pear­ances of the Eter­nal Son; like­wise did he par­tic­i­pate with the orig­i­nal Mi­chael Son in the seven be­stowals upon the cir­cuits of Ha­vona, thereby be­com­ing the sym­pa­thetic and un­der­stand­ing spirit min­is­ter to ev­ery pil­grim of time travers­ing these per­fect cir­cles on high.

21:0.4The orig­i­nal or first-born Mi­chael has never ex­pe­ri­enced in­car­na­tion as a ma­te­rial be­ing, but seven times he passed through the ex­pe­ri­ence of spir­i­tual crea­ture as­cent on the seven cir­cuits of Ha­vona, ad­vanc­ing from the outer spheres to the in­ner­most cir­cuit of the cen­tral cre­ation. The or­der of Mi­chael knows the grand uni­verse from one end to the other; there is no es­sen­tial ex­pe­ri­ence of any of the chil­dren of time and space in which the Mi­cha­els have not per­son­ally par­tic­i­pated; they are in fact par­tak­ers not only of the di­vine na­ture but also of your na­ture, mean­ing all na­tures, from the high­est to the low­est.

21:0.5The orig­i­nal Mi­chael is the pre­sid­ing head of the pri­mary Par­a­dise Sons when they as­sem­ble for con­fer­ence at the cen­ter of all things. Not long since on Uversa we re­corded a uni­ver­sal broad­cast of a con­clave ex­traor­di­nary on the eter­nal Isle of one hun­dred fifty thou­sand Cre­ator Sons as­sem­bled in the pa­ren­tal pres­ence and en­gaged in de­lib­er­a­tions hav­ing to do with the prog­ress of the uni­fi­ca­tion and sta­bi­liza­tion of the uni­verse of uni­verses. This was a se­lected group of Sov­er­eign Mi­cha­els, sev­en­fold be­stowal Sons.
