Morontia Power Supervisors

43 paragraphs · about 11 minutes

Every paragraph the index cites under Morontia Power Supervisors, once, in the order of the book. Beside each stand the entries that cite it.

16:4.5Un­ques­tion­ably, when we en­counter the func­tional ac­tiv­i­ties of the var­i­ous Mor­ontia Power Super­vi­sors, we are face to face with cer­tain of the un­re­vealed ac­tiv­i­ties of the Mas­ter Spir­its. Who, aside from these an­ces­tors of both phys­i­cal con­trol­lers and spirit min­is­ters, could have con­trived so to com­bine and as­so­ciate ma­te­rial and spir­i­tual en­er­gies as to pro­duce a hith­erto nonex­is­tent phase of uni­verse re­al­ity—mor­ontia sub­stance and mor­ontia mind?

29:2.9These power cen­ters to­gether with the Su­preme Power Di­rec­tors are be­ings of high will free­dom and ac­tion. They are all en­dowed with Third-Source per­son­al­ity and dis­close un­ques­tioned vo­li­tional ca­pac­ity of a high or­der. These di­rect­ing cen­ters of the uni­verse power sys­tem are the pos­ses­sors of ex­qui­site in­tel­li­gence en­dow­ment; they are the in­tel­lect of the power sys­tem of the grand uni­verse and the se­cret of the tech­nique of the mind con­trol of all the vast net­work of the far-flung func­tions of the Mas­ter Phys­i­cal Con­trol­lers and the Mor­ontia Power Super­vi­sors.

30:1.9121. The Mor­ontia Power Super­vi­sors.

30:2.108D. Mor­ontia Power Super­vi­sors.

42:10.53. Evolv­ing mor­ontia minds—the ex­pand­ing con­scious­ness of evolv­ing per­son­al­i­ties in the lo­cal uni­verse as­cend­ing ca­reers. This is the be­stowal of the lo­cal uni­verse Mother Spirit in li­ai­son with the Cre­ator Son. This mind level con­notes the or­ga­ni­za­tion of the mor­ontia type of life ve­hi­cle, a syn­the­sis of the ma­te­rial and the spir­i­tual which is ef­fected by the Mor­ontia Power Super­vi­sors of a lo­cal uni­verse. Mor­ontia mind func­tions dif­fer­en­tially in re­sponse to the 570 lev­els of mor­ontia life, dis­clos­ing in­creas­ing as­so­cia­tive ca­pac­ity with the cos­mic mind on the higher lev­els of at­tain­ment. This is the evo­lu­tion­ary course of mor­tal crea­tures, but mind of a non­moron­tia or­der is also be­stowed by a Uni­verse Son and a Uni­verse Spirit upon the non­moron­tia chil­dren of the lo­cal cre­ations.

42:12.11The li­ai­son of the cos­mic mind and the min­istry of the ad­ju­tant mind-spir­its evolve a suit­able phys­i­cal taber­na­cle for the evolv­ing hu­man be­ing. Like­wise does the mor­ontia mind in­di­vid­u­al­ize the mor­ontia form for all mor­tal sur­vivors. As the mor­tal body is per­sonal and char­ac­ter­is­tic for ev­ery hu­man be­ing, so will the mor­ontia form be highly in­di­vid­ual and ad­e­quately char­ac­ter­is­tic of the cre­ative mind which dom­i­nates it. No two mor­ontia forms are any more alike than any two hu­man bod­ies. The Mor­ontia Power Super­vi­sors spon­sor, and the at­tend­ing ser­a­phim pro­vide, the un­dif­fer­en­ti­ated mor­ontia ma­te­rial where­with the mor­ontia life can be­gin to work. And af­ter the mor­ontia life it will be found that spirit forms are equally di­verse, per­sonal, and char­ac­ter­is­tic of their re­spec­tive spirit-mind in­dwellers.

43:8.1The phys­i­cal en­dow­ment of Eden­tia and its sur­round­ing spheres is well-nigh per­fect; they could hardly equal the spir­i­tual grandeur of the spheres of Sal­ving­ton, but they far sur­pass the glo­ries of the train­ing worlds of Je­ru­sem. All these Eden­tia spheres are en­er­gized di­rectly by the uni­ver­sal space cur­rents, and their enor­mous power sys­tems, both ma­te­rial and mor­ontial, are ex­pertly super­vised and dis­tributed by the con­stel­la­tion cen­ters, as­sisted by a com­pe­tent corps of Mas­ter Phys­i­cal Con­trol­lers and Mor­ontia Power Super­vi­sors.

44:3.76. Mor­ontia plan­ners—those who build for the co-or­di­nate as­so­ci­a­tion of all the per­son­al­i­ties of all realms as they are at any one time pres­ent on any one sphere. These plan­ners col­lab­o­rate with the Mor­ontia Power Super­vi­sors to en­rich the co-or­di­na­tion of the pro­gres­sive mor­ontia life.

44:5.21. Phys­i­cal-en­ergy ma­nip­u­la­tors. The phys­i­cal-en­ergy ma­nip­u­la­tors serve for long pe­ri­ods with the power di­rec­tors and are ex­perts in the ma­nip­u­la­tion and con­trol of many phases of phys­i­cal en­ergy. They are con­ver­sant with the three ba­sic cur­rents and the thirty sub­sidiary en­ergy seg­re­ga­tions of the super­uni­verses. These be­ings are of in­es­timable as­sis­tance to the Mor­ontia Power Super­vi­sors of the tran­si­tion worlds. They are the per­sis­tent stu­dents of the cos­mic pro­jec­tions of Par­a­dise.

45:1.2Num­ber 1. The Fi­nal­i­ter World. This is the head­quar­ters of the fi­nal­i­ter corps of the lo­cal sys­tem and is sur­rounded by the re­ceiv­ing worlds, the seven man­sion worlds, ded­i­cated so fully to the scheme of mor­tal as­cen­sion. The fi­nal­i­ter world is ac­ces­si­ble to the in­hab­i­tants of all seven man­sion worlds. Trans­port ser­a­phim carry as­cend­ing per­son­al­i­ties back and forth on these pil­grim­ages, which are de­signed to cul­ti­vate their faith in the ul­ti­mate des­tiny of tran­si­tion mor­tals. Al­though the fi­nal­i­ters and their struc­tures are not or­di­nar­ily per­cep­ti­ble to mor­ontia vi­sion, you will be more than thrilled, from time to time, when the en­ergy trans­form­ers and the Mor­ontia Power Super­vi­sors en­able you mo­men­tar­ily to glimpse these high spirit per­son­al­i­ties who have ac­tu­ally com­pleted the Par­a­dise as­cen­sion, and who have re­turned to the very worlds where you are be­gin­ning this long jour­ney, as the pledge of as­sur­ance that you may and can com­plete the stu­pen­dous un­der­tak­ing. All man­sion world so­journ­ers go to the fi­nal­i­ter sphere at least once a year for these as­sem­blies of fi­nal­i­ter vi­su­al­iza­tion.

45:3.1910. The di­rec­tor of the sys­tem Mor­ontia Power Super­vi­sors.

46:5.264. The cir­cles of the Mas­ter Phys­i­cal Con­trol­lers. The var­i­ous or­ders of the Mas­ter Phys­i­cal Con­trol­lers are con­cen­tri­cally ar­ranged around the vast tem­ple of power, wherein pre­sides the power chief of the sys­tem in as­so­ci­a­tion with the chief of the Mor­ontia Power Super­vi­sors. This tem­ple of power is one of two sec­tors on Je­ru­sem where as­cend­ing mor­tals and mid­way crea­tures are not per­mit­ted. The other one is the de­ma­te­ri­al­iz­ing sec­tor in the area of the Ma­te­rial Sons, a se­ries of lab­o­ra­to­ries wherein the trans­port ser­a­phim trans­form ma­te­rial be­ings into a state quite like that of the mor­ontia or­der of ex­is­tence.

47:10.1The re­cep­tion of a new class of man­sion world grad­u­ates is the sig­nal for all Je­ru­sem to as­sem­ble as a com­mit­tee of wel­come. Even the sporna­gia en­joy the ar­rival of these tri­umphant as­cend­ers of evo­lu­tion­ary ori­gin, those who have run the plan­e­tary race and fin­ished the man­sion world pro­gres­sion. Only the phys­i­cal con­trol­lers and Mor­ontia Power Super­vi­sors are ab­sent from these oc­ca­sions of re­joic­ing.

48:1.3All of these worlds are ar­chi­tec­tural spheres, and they have just dou­ble the num­ber of el­e­ments of the evolved plan­ets. Such made-to-or­der worlds not only abound in the heavy met­als and crys­tals, hav­ing one hun­dred phys­i­cal el­e­ments, but like­wise have ex­actly one hun­dred forms of a unique en­ergy or­ga­ni­za­tion called mor­ontia ma­te­rial. The Mas­ter Phys­i­cal Con­trol­lers and the Mor­ontia Power Super­vi­sors are able so to mod­ify the rev­o­lu­tions of the pri­mary units of mat­ter and at the same time so to trans­form these as­so­ci­a­tions of en­ergy as to cre­ate this new sub­stance.

48:1.4 · one paragraph not cited here ·

48:1.4The early mor­ontia life in the lo­cal sys­tems is very much like that of your pres­ent ma­te­rial world, be­com­ing less phys­i­cal and more truly mor­ontial on the con­stel­la­tion study worlds. And as you ad­vance to the Sal­ving­ton spheres, you in­creas­ingly at­tain spir­i­tual lev­els.

48:1.5The Mor­ontia Power Super­vi­sors are able to ef­fect a union of ma­te­rial and of spir­i­tual en­er­gies, thereby or­ga­niz­ing a mor­ontia form of ma­te­ri­al­iza­tion which is re­cep­tive to the super­im­po­si­tion of a con­trol­ling spirit. When you tra­verse the mor­ontia life of Neb­a­don, these same pa­tient and skill­ful Mor­ontia Power Super­vi­sors will suc­ces­sively pro­vide you with 570 mor­ontia bod­ies, each one a phase of your pro­gres­sive trans­for­ma­tion. From the time of leav­ing the ma­te­rial worlds un­til you are con­sti­tuted a first-stage spirit on Sal­ving­ton, you will un­dergo just 570 sep­a­rate and as­cend­ing mor­ontia changes. Eight of these oc­cur in the sys­tem, sev­enty-one in the con­stel­la­tion, and 491 dur­ing the so­journ on the spheres of Sal­ving­ton.

48:2.1These unique be­ings are ex­clu­sively con­cerned with the super­vi­sion of those ac­tiv­i­ties which rep­re­sent a work­ing com­bi­na­tion of spir­i­tual and phys­i­cal or semi­ma­te­rial en­er­gies. They are ex­clu­sively de­voted to the min­istry of mor­ontia pro­gres­sion. Not that they so much min­is­ter to mor­tals dur­ing the tran­si­tion ex­pe­ri­ence, but they rather make pos­si­ble the tran­si­tion en­vi­ron­ment for the pro­gress­ing mor­ontia crea­tures. They are the chan­nels of mor­ontia power which sus­tain and en­er­gize the mor­ontia phases of the tran­si­tion worlds.

48:2.2Mor­ontia Power Super­vi­sors are the off­spring of a lo­cal uni­verse Mother Spirit. They are fairly stan­dard in de­sign though dif­fer­ing slightly in na­ture in the var­i­ous lo­cal cre­ations. They are cre­ated for their spe­cific func­tion and re­quire no train­ing be­fore en­ter­ing upon their re­spon­si­bil­i­ties.

48:2.3The cre­ation of the first Mor­ontia Power Super­vi­sors is si­mul­ta­ne­ous with the ar­rival of the first mor­tal sur­vivor on the shores of some one of the first man­sion worlds in a lo­cal uni­verse. They are cre­ated in groups of one thou­sand, clas­si­fied as fol­lows:

48:2.41. Cir­cuit Reg­u­la­tors 400

48:2.52. Sys­tem Co-or­di­na­tors 200

48:2.63. Plan­e­tary Cus­to­di­ans 100

48:2.74. Com­bined Con­trol­lers 100

48:2.85. Li­ai­son Sta­bi­liz­ers 100

48:2.96. Se­lec­tive As­sorters 50

48:2.107. As­so­ciate Reg­is­trars 50

48:2.11The power super­vi­sors al­ways serve in their na­tive uni­verse. They are di­rected ex­clu­sively by the joint spirit ac­tiv­ity of the Uni­verse Son and the Uni­verse Spirit but are oth­er­wise a wholly self-gov­ern­ing group. They main­tain head­quar­ters on each of the first man­sion worlds of the lo­cal sys­tems, where they work in close as­so­ci­a­tion with both the phys­i­cal con­trol­lers and the ser­a­phim but func­tion in a world of their own as re­gards en­ergy man­i­fes­ta­tion and spirit ap­pli­ca­tion.

48:2.12They also some­times work in con­nec­tion with super­ma­te­rial phe­nom­ena on the evo­lu­tion­ary worlds as min­is­ters of tem­po­rary as­sign­ment. But they rarely serve on the in­hab­ited plan­ets; nei­ther do they work on the higher train­ing worlds of the super­uni­verse, be­ing chiefly de­voted to the tran­si­tion regime of mor­ontia pro­gres­sion in a lo­cal uni­verse.

48:2.131. Cir­cuit Reg­u­la­tors. These are the unique be­ings who co-or­di­nate phys­i­cal and spir­i­tual en­ergy and reg­u­late its flow into the seg­re­gated chan­nels of the mor­ontia spheres, and these cir­cuits are ex­clu­sively plan­e­tary, lim­ited to a sin­gle world. The mor­ontia cir­cuits are dis­tinct from, and sup­ple­men­tary to, both phys­i­cal and spir­i­tual cir­cuits on the tran­si­tion worlds, and it re­quires mil­lions of these reg­u­la­tors to en­er­gize even a sys­tem of man­sion worlds like that of Sa­ta­nia.

48:2.14Cir­cuit reg­u­la­tors ini­ti­ate those changes in ma­te­rial en­er­gies which ren­der them sub­ject to the con­trol and reg­u­la­tion of their as­so­ciates. These be­ings are mor­ontia power gen­er­a­tors as well as cir­cuit reg­u­la­tors. Much as a dy­namo ap­par­ently gen­er­ates elec­tric­ity out of the at­mo­sphere, so do these liv­ing mor­ontia dy­namos seem to trans­form the ev­ery­where en­er­gies of space into those ma­te­ri­als which the mor­ontia super­vi­sors weave into the bod­ies and life ac­tiv­i­ties of the as­cend­ing mor­tals.

48:2.152. Sys­tem Co-or­di­na­tors. Since each mor­ontia world has a sep­a­rate or­der of mor­ontia en­ergy, it is ex­ceed­ingly dif­fi­cult for hu­mans to vi­su­al­ize these spheres. But on each suc­ces­sive tran­si­tion sphere, mor­tals will find the plant life and ev­ery­thing else per­tain­ing to the mor­ontia ex­is­tence pro­gres­sively mod­i­fied to cor­re­spond with the ad­vanc­ing spir­i­ti­za­tion of the as­cend­ing sur­vivor. And since the en­ergy sys­tem of each world is thus in­di­vid­u­al­ized, these co-or­di­na­tors op­er­ate to har­mo­nize and blend such dif­fer­ing power sys­tems into a work­ing unit for the as­so­ci­ated spheres of any par­tic­u­lar group.

48:2.16As­cend­ing mor­tals grad­u­ally pro­gress from the phys­i­cal to the spir­i­tual as they ad­vance from one mor­ontia world to an­other; hence the ne­ces­sity for pro­vid­ing an as­cend­ing scale of mor­ontia spheres and an as­cend­ing scale of mor­ontia forms.

48:2.17When man­sion world as­cend­ers pass from one sphere to an­other, they are de­liv­ered by the trans­port ser­a­phim to the re­ceivers of the sys­tem co-or­di­na­tors on the ad­vanced world. Here in those unique tem­ples at the cen­ter of the sev­enty ra­di­at­ing wings wherein are the cham­bers of tran­si­tion sim­i­lar to the res­ur­rec­tion halls on the ini­tial world of re­cep­tion for earth-ori­gin mor­tals, the nec­es­sary changes in crea­ture form are skill­fully ef­fected by the sys­tem co-or­di­na­tors. These early mor­ontia-form changes re­quire about seven days of stan­dard time for their ac­com­plish­ment.

48:2.183. Plan­e­tary Cus­to­di­ans. Each mor­ontia world, from the man­sion spheres up to the uni­verse head­quar­ters, is in the cus­tody—as re­gards mor­ontia af­fairs—of sev­enty guard­i­ans. They con­sti­tute the lo­cal plan­e­tary coun­cil of su­preme mor­ontia au­thor­ity. This coun­cil grants ma­te­rial for mor­ontia forms to all as­cend­ing crea­tures who land on the spheres and au­tho­rizes those changes in crea­ture form which make it pos­si­ble for an as­cender to pro­ceed to the suc­ceed­ing sphere. Af­ter the man­sion worlds have been tra­versed, you will trans­late from one phase of mor­ontia life to an­other with­out hav­ing to sur­ren­der con­scious­ness. Un­con­scious­ness at­tends only the ear­lier meta­mor­phoses and the later tran­si­tions from one uni­verse to an­other and from Ha­vona to Par­a­dise.

48:2.194. Com­bined Con­trol­lers. One of these highly me­chan­i­cal be­ings is al­ways sta­tioned at the cen­ter of each ad­min­is­tra­tive unit of a mor­ontia world. A com­bined con­trol­ler is sen­si­tive to, and func­tional with, phys­i­cal, spir­i­tual, and mor­ontial en­er­gies; and with this be­ing there are al­ways as­so­ci­ated two sys­tem co-or­di­na­tors, four cir­cuit reg­u­la­tors, one plan­e­tary cus­to­dian, one li­ai­son sta­bi­lizer, and ei­ther an as­so­ciate reg­is­trar or a se­lec­tive as­sorter.

48:2.205. Li­ai­son Sta­bi­liz­ers. These are the reg­u­la­tors of the mor­ontia en­ergy in as­so­ci­a­tion with the phys­i­cal and spirit forces of the realm. They make pos­si­ble the con­ver­sion of mor­ontia en­ergy into mor­ontia ma­te­rial. The whole mor­ontia or­ga­ni­za­tion of ex­is­tence is de­pen­dent on the sta­bi­liz­ers. They slow down the en­ergy rev­o­lu­tions to that point where phys­i­cal­iza­tion can oc­cur. But I have no terms with which I can com­pare or il­lus­trate the min­istry of such be­ings. It is quite be­yond hu­man imag­i­na­tion.

48:2.216. Se­lec­tive As­sorters. As you pro­gress from one class or phase of a mor­ontia world to an­other, you must be re-keyed or ad­vance-tuned, and it is the task of the se­lec­tive as­sorters to keep you in pro­gres­sive syn­chrony with the mor­ontia life.

48:2.22While the ba­sic mor­ontia forms of life and mat­ter are iden­ti­cal from the first man­sion world to the last uni­verse tran­si­tion sphere, there is a func­tional pro­gres­sion which grad­u­ally ex­tends from the ma­te­rial to the spir­i­tual. Your adap­ta­tion to this ba­si­cally uni­form but suc­ces­sively ad­vanc­ing and spir­i­tiz­ing cre­ation is ef­fected by this se­lec­tive re-key­ing. Such an ad­just­ment in the mech­a­nism of per­son­al­ity is tan­ta­mount to a new cre­ation, not­with­stand­ing that you re­tain the same mor­ontia form.

48:2.23You may re­peat­edly sub­ject your­self to the test of these ex­am­in­ers, and as soon as you reg­is­ter ad­e­quate spir­i­tual achieve­ment, they will gladly cer­tify you for ad­vanced stand­ing. These pro­gres­sive changes re­sult in al­tered re­ac­tions to the mor­ontia en­vi­ron­ment, such as mod­i­fi­ca­tions in food re­quire­ments and nu­mer­ous other per­sonal prac­tices.

48:2.24The se­lec­tive as­sorters are also of great ser­vice in the group­ing of mor­ontia per­son­al­i­ties for pur­poses of study, teach­ing, and other projects. They nat­u­rally in­di­cate those who will best func­tion in tem­po­rary as­so­ci­a­tion.

48:2.257. As­so­ciate Reg­is­trars. The mor­ontia world has its own re­cord­ers, who serve in as­so­ci­a­tion with the spirit re­cord­ers in the super­vi­sion and cus­tody of the rec­ords and other data in­dige­nous to the mor­ontia cre­ations. The mor­ontia rec­ords are avail­able to all or­ders of per­son­al­i­ties.

48:2.26All mor­ontia tran­si­tion realms are ac­ces­si­ble alike to ma­te­rial and spirit be­ings. As mor­ontia pro­gres­sors you will re­main in full con­tact with the ma­te­rial world and with ma­te­rial per­son­al­i­ties, while you will in­creas­ingly dis­cern and frat­er­nize with spirit be­ings; and by the time of de­par­ture from the mor­ontia regime, you will have seen all or­ders of spir­its with the ex­cep­tion of a few of the higher types, such as Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers.

48:6.295. Tech­ni­cians. These are the ser­a­phim who help new as­cend­ers ad­just them­selves to the new and com­par­a­tively strange en­vi­ron­ment of the mor­ontia spheres. Life on the tran­si­tion worlds en­tails real con­tact with the en­er­gies and ma­te­ri­als of both the phys­i­cal and mor­ontia lev­els and to a cer­tain ex­tent with spir­i­tual re­al­i­ties. As­cend­ers must ac­cli­ma­tize to ev­ery new mor­ontia level, and in all of this they are greatly helped by the se­raphic tech­ni­cians. These ser­a­phim act as li­aisons with the Mor­ontia Power Super­vi­sors and with the Mas­ter Phys­i­cal Con­trol­lers and func­tion ex­ten­sively as in­struc­tors of the as­cend­ing pil­grims con­cern­ing the na­ture of those en­er­gies which are uti­lized on the tran­si­tion spheres. They serve as emer­gency space tra­versers and per­form nu­mer­ous other reg­u­lar and spe­cial du­ties.

55:1.3Al­though the plan­e­tary tem­ples have been spo­ken of as “com­ing down from heaven,” in re­al­ity no ac­tual ma­te­rial is trans­ported from the sys­tem head­quar­ters. The ar­chi­tec­ture of each is worked out in minia­ture on the sys­tem cap­i­tal, and the Mor­ontia Power Super­vi­sors sub­se­quently bring these ap­proved plans to the planet. Here, in as­so­ci­a­tion with the Mas­ter Phys­i­cal Con­trol­lers, they pro­ceed to build the mor­ontia tem­ple ac­cord­ing to spec­i­fi­ca­tions.
