Seven Spirits of Havona Circuits

16 paragraphs · about 5 minutes

Every paragraph the index cites under Seven Spirits of Havona Circuits, once, in the order of the book. Beside each stand the entries that cite it.

14:1.9The bil­lion worlds of Ha­vona are ar­ranged in seven con­cen­tric cir­cuits im­me­di­ately sur­round­ing the three cir­cuits of Par­a­dise satel­lites. There are up­wards of thirty-five mil­lion worlds in the in­ner­most Ha­vona cir­cuit and over two hun­dred and forty-five mil­lion in the out­er­most, with pro­por­tion­ate num­bers in­ter­ven­ing. Each cir­cuit dif­fers, but all are per­fectly bal­anced and ex­qui­sitely or­ga­nized, and each is per­vaded by a spe­cial­ized rep­re­sen­ta­tion of the In­fi­nite Spirit, one of the Seven Spir­its of the Cir­cuits. In ad­di­tion to other func­tions this im­per­sonal Spirit co-or­di­nates the con­duct of ce­les­tial af­fairs through­out each cir­cuit.

14:6.326. The Co-or­di­nate Min­is­ter­ing Daugh­ters. The Uni­verse Mother Spir­its, cocre­ators of the lo­cal uni­verses, se­cure their preper­sonal train­ing on the worlds of Ha­vona in close as­so­ci­a­tion with the Spir­its of the Cir­cuits. In the cen­tral uni­verse the Spirit Daugh­ters of the lo­cal uni­verses were duly trained in the meth­ods of co-op­er­a­tion with the Sons of Par­a­dise, all the while sub­ject to the will of the Fa­ther.

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.

17:5.1The Seven Spir­its of the Ha­vona Cir­cuits are the joint im­per­sonal rep­re­sen­ta­tion of the In­fi­nite Spirit and the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its to the seven cir­cuits of the cen­tral uni­verse. They are the ser­vants of the Mas­ter Spir­its, whose col­lec­tive off­spring they are. The Mas­ter Spir­its pro­vide a dis­tinct and di­ver­si­fied ad­min­is­tra­tive in­di­vid­u­al­ity in the seven super­uni­verses. Through these uni­form Spir­its of the Ha­vona Cir­cuits they are en­abled to pro­vide a uni­fied, uni­form, and co-or­di­nated spir­i­tual super­vi­sion for the cen­tral uni­verse.

17:5.2The Seven Spir­its of the Cir­cuits are each lim­ited to the per­me­ation of a sin­gle Ha­vona cir­cuit. They are not di­rectly con­cerned with the regimes of the Eter­nals of Days, the rulers of the in­di­vid­ual Ha­vona worlds. But they are in li­ai­son with the Seven Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives, and they syn­chro­nize with the cen­tral uni­verse pres­ence of the Su­preme Be­ing. Their work is wholly con­fined to Ha­vona.

17:5.3These Spir­its of the Cir­cuits make con­tact with those who so­journ in Ha­vona through their per­sonal off­spring, the ter­tiary super­na­phim. While the Cir­cuit Spir­its are co­ex­is­tent with the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its, their func­tion in the cre­ation of ter­tiary super­na­phim did not at­tain ma­jor im­por­tance un­til the first pil­grims of time ar­rived on the outer cir­cuit of Ha­vona in the days of Grand­fanda.

17:5.4As you ad­vance from cir­cuit to cir­cuit in Ha­vona, you will learn of the Spir­its of the Cir­cuits, but you will not be able to hold per­sonal com­mu­nion with them, even though you may per­son­ally en­joy, and rec­og­nize the im­per­sonal pres­ence of, their spir­i­tual in­flu­ence.

17:5.5The Cir­cuit Spir­its are re­lated to the na­tive in­hab­i­tants of Ha­vona much as the Thought Ad­justers are re­lated to the mor­tal crea­tures in­hab­it­ing the worlds of the evo­lu­tion­ary uni­verses. Like the Thought Ad­justers, the Cir­cuit Spir­its are im­per­sonal, and they con­sort with the per­fect minds of Ha­vona be­ings much as the im­per­sonal spir­its of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther in­dwell the fi­nite minds of mor­tal men. But the Spir­its of the Cir­cuits never be­come a per­ma­nent part of Ha­vona per­son­al­i­ties.

17:8.2To­gether with their In­fi­nite Mother Spirit, the Su­preme Spirit groups are the im­me­di­ate cre­ators of the vast crea­ture fam­ily of the Third Source and Cen­ter. All or­ders of the min­is­ter­ing spir­its spring from this as­so­ci­a­tion. Pri­mary super­na­phim orig­i­nate in the In­fi­nite Spirit; sec­ondary be­ings of this or­der are cre­ated by the Mas­ter Spir­its; ter­tiary super­na­phim by the Seven Spir­its of the Cir­cuits. The Re­flec­tive Spir­its, col­lec­tively, are the mother-mak­ers of a mar­velous or­der of the an­gelic hosts, the mighty se­con­a­phim of the super­uni­verse ser­vices. A Cre­ative Spirit is the mother of the an­gelic or­ders of a lo­cal cre­ation; such se­raphic min­is­ters are orig­i­nal in each lo­cal uni­verse, though they are fash­ioned af­ter the pat­terns of the cen­tral uni­verse. All these cre­ators of min­is­ter­ing spir­its are only in­di­rectly as­sisted by the cen­tral lodg­ment of the In­fi­nite Spirit, the orig­i­nal and eter­nal mother of all the an­gelic min­is­ters.

26:1.121. The Min­is­ter­ing Spir­its of the Cen­tral Uni­verse. The three or­ders of super­na­phim serve in the Par­a­dise-Ha­vona sys­tem. Pri­mary or Par­a­dise super­na­phim are cre­ated by the In­fi­nite Spirit. The sec­ondary and ter­tiary or­ders, serv­ing in Ha­vona, are re­spec­tively the off­spring of the Mas­ter Spir­its and of the Spir­its of the Cir­cuits.

26:1.132. The Min­is­ter­ing Spir­its of the Super­uni­verses—the se­con­a­phim, the ter­tiaphim, and the om­niaphim. Se­con­a­phim, the chil­dren of the Re­flec­tive Spir­its, var­i­ously serve in the seven super­uni­verses. Ter­tiaphim, of ori­gin in the In­fi­nite Spirit, are even­tu­ally ded­i­cated to the li­ai­son ser­vice of the Cre­ator Sons and the An­cients of Days. Om­niaphim are cre­ated con­cert­edly by the In­fi­nite Spirit and the Seven Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives, and they are the ex­clu­sive ser­vants of the lat­ter. The dis­cus­sion of these three or­ders forms the sub­ject of a suc­ceed­ing nar­ra­tive in this se­ries.

26:2.6Each of the seven plan­e­tary cir­cuits of Ha­vona is un­der the di­rect super­vi­sion of one of the Seven Spir­its of the Cir­cuits, them­selves the col­lec­tive—hence uni­form—cre­ation of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its. Though par­tak­ing of the na­ture of the Third Source and Cen­ter, these seven sub­sidiary Spir­its of Ha­vona were not a part of the orig­i­nal pat­tern uni­verse. They were in func­tion af­ter the orig­i­nal (eter­nal) cre­ation but long be­fore the times of Grand­fanda. They un­doubt­edly ap­peared as a cre­ative re­sponse of the Mas­ter Spir­its to the emerg­ing pur­pose of the Su­preme Be­ing, and they were dis­cov­ered in func­tion upon the or­ga­ni­za­tion of the grand uni­verse. The In­fi­nite Spirit and all his cre­ative as­so­ciates, as uni­ver­sal co-or­di­na­tors, seem abun­dantly en­dowed with the abil­ity to make suit­able cre­ative re­sponses to the si­mul­ta­ne­ous de­vel­op­ments in the ex­pe­ri­en­tial De­i­ties and in the evolv­ing uni­verses.

26:2.7Ter­tiary super­na­phim take ori­gin in these Seven Spir­its of the Cir­cuits. Each one of them, on the sep­a­rate Ha­vona cir­cles, is em­pow­ered by the In­fi­nite Spirit to cre­ate a suf­fi­cient num­ber of high super­aphic min­is­ters of the ter­tiary or­der to meet the needs of the cen­tral uni­verse. While the Cir­cuit Spir­its pro­duced com­par­a­tively few of these an­gelic min­is­ters prior to the ar­rival in Ha­vona of the pil­grims of time, the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its did not even be­gin the cre­ation of sec­ondary super­na­phim un­til the land­ing of Grand­fanda. As the older of the two or­ders, the ter­tiary super­na­phim will there­fore re­ceive first con­sid­er­a­tion.

30:1.582. The Seven Spir­its of the Ha­vona Cir­cuits.

30:2.195. The Seven Spir­its of the Cir­cuits.

116:4.5These Mas­ter Spir­its are not only the sup­port­ers and aug­menters of the sov­er­eignty of Su­prem­acy, but they are in turn af­fected by the cre­ative pur­poses of the Su­preme. Or­di­nar­ily, the col­lec­tive cre­ations of the Mas­ter Spir­its are of the quasi-ma­te­rial or­der (power di­rec­tors, etc.), while their in­di­vid­ual cre­ations are of the spir­i­tual or­der (super­na­phim, etc.). But when the Mas­ter Spir­its col­lec­tively pro­duced the Seven Cir­cuit Spir­its in re­sponse to the will and pur­pose of the Su­preme Be­ing, it is to be noted that the off­spring of this cre­ative act are spir­i­tual, not ma­te­rial or quasi-ma­te­rial.
