Reflective Image Aids

17:4.1The forty-nine Re­flec­tive Im­age Aids were cre­ated by the Re­flec­tive Spir­its, and there are just seven Aids on the head­quar­ters of each super­uni­verse. The first cre­ative act of the seven Re­flec­tive Spir­its of Uversa was the pro­duc­tion of their seven Im­age Aids, each Re­flec­tive Spirit cre­at­ing his own Aid. The Im­age Aids are, in cer­tain at­tri­butes and char­ac­ter­is­tics, per­fect re­pro­duc­tions of their Re­flec­tive Mother Spir­its; they are vir­tual du­pli­ca­tions mi­nus the at­tri­bute of re­flec­tiv­ity. They are true im­ages and con­stantly func­tion as the chan­nel of com­mu­ni­ca­tion be­tween the Re­flec­tive Spir­its and the super­uni­verse au­thor­i­ties. The Im­age Aids are not merely as­sis­tants; they are ac­tual rep­re­sen­ta­tions of their re­spec­tive Spirit an­ces­tors; they are im­ages, and they are true to their name.

17:4.2The Re­flec­tive Spir­its them­selves are true per­son­al­i­ties but of such an or­der as to be in­com­pre­hen­si­ble to ma­te­rial be­ings. Even on a super­uni­verse head­quar­ters sphere they re­quire the as­sis­tance of their Im­age Aids in all per­sonal in­ter­course with the An­cients of Days and their as­so­ciates. In con­tacts be­tween the Im­age Aids and the An­cients of Days, some­times one Aid func­tions ac­cept­ably, while on other oc­ca­sions two, three, four, or even all seven are re­quired for the full and proper pre­sen­ta­tion of the com­mu­ni­ca­tion in­trusted to their trans­mis­sion. Like­wise, the mes­sages of the Im­age Aids are var­i­ously re­ceived by one, two, or all three An­cients of Days, as the con­tent of the com­mu­ni­ca­tion may re­quire.

17:4.3The Im­age Aids serve for­ever by the sides of their an­ces­tral Spir­its, and they have at their dis­posal an un­be­liev­able host of helper se­con­a­phim. The Im­age Aids do not di­rectly func­tion in con­nec­tion with the train­ing worlds of as­cend­ing mor­tals. They are closely as­so­ci­ated with the in­tel­li­gence ser­vice of the uni­ver­sal scheme of mor­tal pro­gres­sion, but you will not per­son­ally come in con­tact with them when you so­journ in the Uversa schools be­cause these seem­ingly per­sonal be­ings are de­void of will; they do not ex­er­cise the power of choice. They are true im­ages, wholly re­flec­tive of the per­son­al­ity and mind of the in­di­vid­ual Spirit an­ces­tor. As a class, as­cend­ing mor­tals do not in­ti­mately con­tact with re­flec­tiv­ity. Al­ways some be­ing of the re­flec­tive na­ture will be in­ter­posed be­tween you and the ac­tual op­er­a­tion of the ser­vice.

15:10.2The super­uni­verse head­quar­ters are the abid­ing places of the Re­flec­tive Spir­its and the Re­flec­tive Im­age Aids. From this mid­way po­si­tion these mar­velous be­ings con­duct their tremen­dous re­flec­tiv­ity op­er­a­tions, thus min­is­ter­ing to the cen­tral uni­verse above and to the lo­cal uni­verses be­low.

17:3.4The per­son­nel of the re­flec­tiv­ity ser­vice, with the ex­cep­tion of Maj­es­ton and the Re­flec­tive Spir­its, are all the crea­tures of the In­fi­nite Spirit and his im­me­di­ate as­so­ciates and sub­or­di­nates. The Re­flec­tive Spir­its of each super­uni­verse are the cre­ators of their Re­flec­tive Im­age Aids, their per­sonal voices to the courts of the An­cients of Days.

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.

17:0.11The Seven Mas­ter Spir­its are the co-or­di­nat­ing di­rec­tors of this far-flung ad­min­is­tra­tive realm. In some mat­ters per­tain­ing to the ad­min­is­tra­tive reg­u­la­tion of or­ga­nized phys­i­cal power, mind en­ergy, and im­per­sonal spirit min­istry, they act per­son­ally and di­rectly, and in oth­ers they func­tion through their mul­ti­far­i­ous as­so­ciates. In all mat­ters of an ex­ec­u­tive na­ture—rul­ings, reg­u­la­tions, ad­just­ments, and ad­min­is­tra­tive de­ci­sions—the Mas­ter Spir­its act in the per­sons of the Seven Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives. In the cen­tral uni­verse the Mas­ter Spir­its may func­tion through the Seven Spir­its of the Ha­vona Cir­cuits; on the head­quar­ters of the seven super­uni­verses they re­veal them­selves through the chan­nel of the Re­flec­tive Spir­its and act through the per­sons of the An­cients of Days, with whom they are in per­sonal com­mu­ni­ca­tion through the Re­flec­tive Im­age Aids.

25:3.14All con­cil­ia­tors serve un­der the gen­eral super­vi­sion of the An­cients of Days and un­der the im­me­di­ate di­rec­tion of the Im­age Aids un­til such time as they are ad­vanced to Par­a­dise. Dur­ing the Par­a­dise so­journ they re­port to the Mas­ter Spirit who pre­sides over the super­uni­verse of their ori­gin.
