minor sectors

18:4.8The work of the pil­grims of time on the worlds sur­round­ing a ma­jor sec­tor head­quar­ters is chiefly of an in­tel­lec­tual na­ture in con­trast with the more phys­i­cal and ma­te­rial char­ac­ter of the train­ing on the seven ed­u­ca­tional spheres of a mi­nor sec­tor and with the spir­i­tual un­der­tak­ings on the four hun­dred ninety uni­ver­sity worlds of a super­uni­verse head­quar­ters.

31:3.41. We know from the rec­ords that mor­tals are spir­its of the first or­der dur­ing their so­journ in the mi­nor sec­tors, and that they ad­vance to the sec­ond or­der when trans­lated to the ma­jor sec­tors, and to the third when they go for­ward to the cen­tral train­ing worlds of the super­uni­verse. Mor­tals be­come quar­tan or grad­u­ate spir­its af­ter reach­ing the sixth cir­cle of Ha­vona and be­come spir­its of the fifth or­der when they find the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther. They sub­se­quently at­tain the sixth stage of spirit ex­is­tence upon tak­ing the oath that musters them for­ever into the eter­nity as­sign­ment of the Corps of the Mor­tal Fi­nal­ity.

18:5.5You will all some­time know the three Re­cents of Days in charge of Ensa, your mi­nor sec­tor, since you must pass through their hands on your way in­ward to the train­ing worlds of the ma­jor sec­tors. In as­cend­ing to Uversa, you will pass through only one group of mi­nor sec­tor train­ing spheres.

18:5.3The gov­ern­ments of the mi­nor sec­tors are very largely, though not ex­clu­sively, con­cerned with the great phys­i­cal prob­lems of the super­uni­verses. The mi­nor sec­tor spheres are the head­quar­ters of the Mas­ter Phys­i­cal Con­trol­lers. On these worlds as­cend­ing mor­tals carry on stud­ies and ex­per­i­ments hav­ing to do with an ex­am­i­na­tion of the ac­tiv­i­ties of the third or­der of the Su­preme Power Cen­ters and of all seven or­ders of the Mas­ter Phys­i­cal Con­trol­lers.

15:2.64. The Mi­nor Sec­tor. One hun­dred lo­cal uni­verses (about 1,000,000,000 in­hab­it­able plan­ets) con­sti­tute a mi­nor sec­tor of the super­uni­verse gov­ern­ment; it has a won­der­ful head­quar­ters world, where­from its rulers, the Re­cents of Days, ad­min­is­ter the af­fairs of the mi­nor sec­tor. There are three Re­cents of Days, Su­preme Trin­ity Per­son­al­i­ties, on each mi­nor sec­tor head­quar­ters.

15:13.4The mi­nor sec­tor gov­ern­ments are pre­sided over by three Re­cents of Days. Their ad­min­is­tra­tion is con­cerned mainly with the phys­i­cal con­trol, uni­fi­ca­tion, sta­bi­liza­tion, and rou­tine co-or­di­na­tion of the ad­min­is­tra­tion of the com­po­nent lo­cal uni­verses. Each mi­nor sec­tor em­braces as many as one hun­dred lo­cal uni­verses, ten thou­sand con­stel­la­tions, one mil­lion sys­tems, or about one bil­lion in­hab­it­able worlds.

18:5.1The Re­cents of Days are the young­est of the su­preme di­rec­tors of the super­uni­verses; in groups of three they pre­side over the af­fairs of the mi­nor sec­tors. In na­ture they are co-or­di­nate with the Per­fec­tions of Days, but in ad­min­is­tra­tive au­thor­ity they are sub­or­di­nate. There are just twenty-one thou­sand of these per­son­ally glo­ri­ous and di­vinely ef­fi­cient Trin­ity per­son­al­i­ties. They were cre­ated si­mul­ta­ne­ously, and to­gether they passed through their Ha­vona train­ing un­der the Eter­nals of Days.

15:2.22One mi­nor sec­tor (100 uni­verses) 1,000,000,000 worlds

37:9.12In like man­ner, all di­vi­sions of the ad­min­is­tra­tive or­ga­ni­za­tion of the lo­cal uni­verses and super­uni­verses have their more or less per­ma­nent pop­u­la­tions, in­hab­i­tants of cit­i­zen­ship sta­tus. As Uran­tia has its mid­way­ers, Je­ru­sem, your sys­tem cap­i­tal, has the Ma­te­rial Sons and Daugh­ters; Eden­tia, your con­stel­la­tion head­quar­ters, has the uni­v­i­ta­tia, while the cit­i­zens of Sal­ving­ton are two­fold, the cre­ated susa­tia and the evolved Spirit-fused mor­tals. The ad­min­is­tra­tive worlds of the mi­nor and ma­jor sec­tors of the super­uni­verses do not have per­ma­nent cit­i­zens. But the Uversa head­quar­ters spheres are con­tin­u­ously fos­tered by an amaz­ing group of be­ings known as the aban­don­ters, the cre­ation of the un­re­vealed agents of the An­cients of Days and the seven Re­flec­tive Spir­its res­i­dent on the cap­i­tal of Or­von­ton. These res­i­den­tial cit­i­zens on Uversa are at pres­ent ad­min­is­ter­ing the rou­tine af­fairs of their world un­der the im­me­di­ate super­vi­sion of the Uversa corps of the Son-fused mor­tals. Even Ha­vona has its na­tive be­ings, and the cen­tral Isle of Light and Life is the home of the var­i­ous groups of Par­a­dise Cit­i­zens.

15:13.5Mi­nor sec­tor head­quar­ters worlds are the grand ren­dezvous of the Mas­ter Phys­i­cal Con­trol­lers. These head­quar­ters worlds are sur­rounded by the seven in­struc­tion spheres which con­sti­tute the en­trance schools of the super­uni­verse and are the cen­ters of train­ing for phys­i­cal and ad­min­is­tra­tive knowl­edge con­cern­ing the uni­verse of uni­verses.

15:13.6The ad­min­is­tra­tors of the mi­nor sec­tor gov­ern­ments are un­der the im­me­di­ate ju­ris­dic­tion of the ma­jor sec­tor rulers. The Re­cents of Days re­ceive all re­ports of ob­ser­va­tions and co-or­di­nate all rec­om­men­da­tions which come up to a super­uni­verse from the Unions of Days who are sta­tioned as Trin­ity ob­servers and ad­vis­ers on the head­quar­ters spheres of the lo­cal uni­verses and from the Faith­fuls of Days who are sim­i­larly at­tached to the coun­cils of the Most Highs at the head­quar­ters of the con­stel­la­tions. All such re­ports are trans­mit­ted to the Per­fec­tions of Days on the ma­jor sec­tors, sub­se­quently to be passed on to the courts of the An­cients of Days. Thus the Trin­ity regime ex­tends from the con­stel­la­tions of the lo­cal uni­verses up to the head­quar­ters of the super­uni­verse. The lo­cal sys­tem head­quar­ters do not have Trin­ity rep­re­sen­ta­tives.

55:11.1Mi­nor and ma­jor sec­tors of the super­uni­verse do not fig­ure di­rectly in the plan of be­ing set­tled in light and life. Such an evo­lu­tion­ary pro­gres­sion per­tains pri­mar­ily to the lo­cal uni­verse as a unit and con­cerns only the com­po­nents of a lo­cal uni­verse. A super­uni­verse is set­tled in light and life when all of its com­po­nent lo­cal uni­verses are thus per­fected. But not one of the seven super­uni­verses has at­tained a level of pro­gres­sion even ap­proach­ing this.

55:11.2The mi­nor sec­tor age. As far as ob­ser­va­tions can pen­e­trate, the fifth or mi­nor sec­tor stage of sta­bi­liza­tion has ex­clu­sively to do with phys­i­cal sta­tus and with the co-or­di­nate set­tling of the one hun­dred as­so­ci­ated lo­cal uni­verses in the es­tab­lished cir­cuits of the super­uni­verse. Ap­par­ently none but the power cen­ters and their as­so­ciates are con­cerned in these re­align­ments of the ma­te­rial cre­ation.

55:11.3The ma­jor sec­tor age. Con­cern­ing the sixth stage, or ma­jor sec­tor sta­bi­liza­tion, we can only con­jec­ture since none of us have wit­nessed such an event. Nev­er­the­less, we can pos­tu­late much con­cern­ing the ad­min­is­tra­tive and other read­just­ments which would prob­a­bly ac­com­pany such an ad­vanced sta­tus of in­hab­ited worlds and their uni­verse group­ings.

55:11.4Since the mi­nor sec­tor sta­tus has to do with co-or­di­nate phys­i­cal equi­lib­rium, we in­fer that ma­jor sec­tor uni­fi­ca­tion will be con­cerned with cer­tain new in­tel­lec­tual lev­els of at­tain­ment, pos­si­bly some ad­vanced achieve­ments in the su­preme re­al­iza­tion of cos­mic wis­dom.

55:11.5We ar­rive at con­clu­sions re­gard­ing the read­just­ments which would prob­a­bly at­tend the re­al­iza­tion of hith­erto un­attained lev­els of evo­lu­tion­ary prog­ress by ob­serv­ing the re­sults of such achieve­ments on the in­di­vid­ual worlds and in the ex­pe­ri­ences of in­di­vid­ual mor­tals liv­ing on these older and highly de­vel­oped spheres.

55:11.6Let it be made clear that the ad­min­is­tra­tive mech­a­nisms and gov­ern­men­tal tech­niques of a uni­verse or a super­uni­verse can­not in any man­ner limit or re­tard the evo­lu­tion­ary de­vel­op­ment or spir­i­tual prog­ress of an in­di­vid­ual in­hab­ited planet or of any in­di­vid­ual mor­tal on such a sphere.

55:11.7In some of the older uni­verses we find worlds set­tled in the fifth and the sixth stages of light and life—even far ex­tended into the sev­enth epoch—whose lo­cal sys­tems are not yet set­tled in light. Younger plan­ets may de­lay sys­tem uni­fi­ca­tion, but this does not in the least hand­i­cap the prog­ress of an older and ad­vanced world. Nei­ther can en­vi­ron­men­tal lim­i­ta­tions, even on an iso­lated world, thwart the per­sonal at­tain­ment of the in­di­vid­ual mor­tal; Je­sus of Naz­a­reth, as a man among men, per­son­ally achieved the sta­tus of light and life over nine­teen hun­dred years ago on Uran­tia.

55:11.8It is by ob­serv­ing what takes place on long-set­tled worlds that we ar­rive at fairly re­li­able con­clu­sions as to what will hap­pen when a whole super­uni­verse is set­tled in light, even if we can­not safely pos­tu­late the event of the sta­bi­liza­tion of the seven super­uni­verses.

18:5.4Since the regime of a mi­nor sec­tor is so ex­ten­sively con­cerned with phys­i­cal prob­lems, its three Re­cents of Days are sel­dom to­gether on the cap­i­tal sphere. Most of the time one is away in con­fer­ence with the Per­fec­tions of Days of the super­vis­ing ma­jor sec­tor or ab­sent while rep­re­sent­ing the An­cients of Days at the Par­a­dise con­claves of the high Trin­ity-ori­gin be­ings. They al­ter­nate with the Per­fec­tions of Days in rep­re­sent­ing the An­cients of Days at the su­preme coun­cils on Par­a­dise. Mean­while, an­other Re­cent of Days may be away on a tour of in­spec­tion of the head­quar­ters worlds of the lo­cal uni­verses be­long­ing to his ju­ris­dic­tion. But at least one of these rulers al­ways re­mains on duty at the head­quar­ters of a mi­nor sec­tor.

29:4.151. As­so­ciate Power Di­rec­tors. These mar­velously ef­fi­cient be­ings are in­trusted with the as­sign­ment and dis­patch of all or­ders of the Mas­ter Phys­i­cal Con­trol­lers in ac­cor­dance with the ever-shift­ing needs of the con­stantly chang­ing en­ergy sta­tus of the realms. The vast re­serves of the phys­i­cal con­trol­lers are main­tained on the head­quar­ters worlds of the mi­nor sec­tors, and from these con­cen­tra­tion points they are pe­ri­od­i­cally dis­patched by the as­so­ciate power di­rec­tors to the head­quar­ters of the uni­verses, con­stel­la­tions, and sys­tems, and to the in­di­vid­ual plan­ets. When thus as­signed, the phys­i­cal con­trol­lers are pro­vi­sion­ally sub­ject to the or­ders of the di­vine ex­e­cu­tion­ers of the con­cil­i­at­ing com­mis­sions but are oth­er­wise solely amenable to their as­so­ciate di­rec­tors and to the Su­preme Power Cen­ters.

29:4.16Three mil­lion as­so­ciate power di­rec­tors are as­signed to each of the Or­von­ton mi­nor sec­tors, mak­ing a to­tal of three bil­lion as the super­uni­verse quota of these amaz­ingly ver­sa­tile be­ings. Their own re­serves are main­tained on these same mi­nor sec­tor worlds, where they also serve as in­struc­tors of all who study the sci­ences of the tech­niques of in­tel­li­gent en­ergy con­trol and trans­mu­ta­tion.

15:14.7The mi­nor sec­tor of Ensa con­sists of one hun­dred lo­cal uni­verses and has a cap­i­tal called Umi­nor the third. This mi­nor sec­tor is num­ber three in the ma­jor sec­tor of Splan­don. Splan­don con­sists of one hun­dred mi­nor sec­tors and has a head­quar­ters world called Uma­jor the fifth. It is the fifth ma­jor sec­tor of the super­uni­verse of Or­von­ton, the sev­enth seg­ment of the grand uni­verse. Thus you can lo­cate your planet in the scheme of the or­ga­ni­za­tion and ad­min­is­tra­tion of the uni­verse of uni­verses.

15:3.125. The ro­ta­tion of the one hun­dred mi­nor sec­tors, in­clud­ing Sagit­tar­ius, about their ma­jor sec­tor.

30:3.5Sim­i­lar as­tron­o­mer colonies are to be found on the sec­tor head­quar­ters worlds of the super­uni­verse as well as on the ar­chi­tec­tural cap­i­tals of the lo­cal uni­verses and their ad­min­is­tra­tive sub­di­vi­sions. Ex­cept on Par­a­dise, knowl­edge is not in­her­ent; un­der­stand­ing of the phys­i­cal uni­verse is largely de­pen­dent on ob­ser­va­tion and re­search.

22:6.3Trin­i­tized Am­bas­sadors are the emis­saries of the An­cients of Days for any and all pur­poses, to any and all worlds or uni­verses within the super­uni­verse of their as­sign­ment. They ren­der par­tic­u­lar and im­por­tant ser­vices on the head­quar­ters of the mi­nor sec­tors, and they per­form the num­ber­less mis­cel­la­neous as­sign­ments of a super­uni­verse. They are the emer­gency or re­serve corps of the Trin­i­tized Sons of the super­gov­ern­ments, and they are there­fore avail­able for a great range of du­ties. They en­gage in thou­sands upon thou­sands of un­der­tak­ings in super­uni­verse af­fairs which it is im­pos­si­ble to por­tray to hu­man minds since there is noth­ing tran­spir­ing on Uran­tia that is in any way anal­o­gous to these ac­tiv­i­ties.

25:3.115. Con­cil­ia­tors to the Super­uni­verse Mi­nor Sec­tors. From the prob­lems of lo­cal uni­verses the com­mis­sion­ers are ad­vanced to the study of ques­tions aris­ing in the mi­nor sec­tors of their super­uni­verse. The far­ther they as­cend in­ward from the in­di­vid­ual plan­ets, the fewer are the ma­te­rial du­ties of the di­vine ex­e­cu­tioner; grad­u­ally he as­sumes a new role of mercy-jus­tice in­ter­preter, at the same time—be­ing quasi-ma­te­rial—keep­ing the com­mis­sion as a whole in sym­pa­thetic touch with the ma­te­rial as­pects of its in­ves­ti­ga­tions.
