Seven Supreme Executives

17:1.1The ex­ec­u­tive head­quar­ters of the Mas­ter Spir­its oc­cupy the seven Par­a­dise satel­lites of the In­fi­nite Spirit, which swing around the cen­tral Isle be­tween the shin­ing spheres of the Eter­nal Son and the in­ner­most Ha­vona cir­cuit. These ex­ec­u­tive spheres are un­der the di­rec­tion of the Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives, a group of seven who were trin­i­tized by the Fa­ther, Son, and Spirit in ac­cor­dance with the spec­i­fi­ca­tions of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its for be­ings of a type that could func­tion as their uni­ver­sal rep­re­sen­ta­tives.

17:1.2The Mas­ter Spir­its main­tain con­tact with the var­i­ous di­vi­sions of the super­uni­verse gov­ern­ments through these Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives. It is they who very largely de­ter­mine the ba­sic con­sti­tu­tive trends of the seven super­uni­verses. They are uni­formly and di­vinely per­fect, but they also pos­sess di­ver­sity of per­son­al­ity. They have no pre­sid­ing head; each time they meet to­gether, they choose one of their num­ber to pre­side over that joint coun­cil. Pe­ri­od­i­cally they jour­ney to Par­a­dise to sit in coun­cil with the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its.

17:1.3The Seven Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives func­tion as the ad­min­is­tra­tive co-or­di­na­tors of the grand uni­verse; they might be termed the board of man­ag­ing di­rec­tors of the post-Ha­vona cre­ation. They are not con­cerned with the in­ter­nal af­fairs of Par­a­dise, and they di­rect their lim­ited spheres of Ha­vona ac­tiv­ity through the Seven Spir­its of the Cir­cuits. Oth­er­wise there are few lim­its to the scope of their super­vi­sion; they en­gage in the di­rec­tion of things phys­i­cal, in­tel­lec­tual, and spir­i­tual; they see all, hear all, feel all, even know all, that tran­spires in the seven super­uni­verses and in Ha­vona.

17:1.4These Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives do not orig­i­nate poli­cies, nor do they mod­ify uni­verse pro­ce­dures; they are con­cerned with the ex­e­cu­tion of the plans of di­vin­ity pro­mul­gated by the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its. Nei­ther do they in­ter­fere with the rule of the An­cients of Days in the super­uni­verses nor with the sov­er­eignty of the Cre­ator Sons in the lo­cal uni­verses. They are the co-or­di­nat­ing ex­ec­u­tives whose func­tion it is to carry out the com­bined poli­cies of all duly con­sti­tuted rulers in the grand uni­verse.

17:1.5Each of the ex­ec­u­tives and the fa­cil­i­ties of his sphere are de­voted to the ef­fi­cient ad­min­is­tra­tion of a sin­gle super­uni­verse. Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tive Num­ber One, func­tion­ing on ex­ec­u­tive sphere num­ber one, is wholly oc­cu­pied with the af­fairs of super­uni­verse num­ber one, and so on to Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tive Num­ber Seven, work­ing from the sev­enth Par­a­dise satel­lite of the Spirit and de­vot­ing his en­er­gies to the man­age­ment of the sev­enth super­uni­verse. The name of this sev­enth sphere is Or­von­ton, for the Par­a­dise satel­lites of the Spirit have the same names as their re­lated super­uni­verses; in fact, the super­uni­verses were named af­ter them.

17:1.6On the ex­ec­u­tive sphere of the sev­enth super­uni­verse the staff en­gaged in keep­ing straight the af­fairs of Or­von­ton runs into num­bers be­yond hu­man com­pre­hen­sion and em­braces prac­ti­cally ev­ery or­der of ce­les­tial in­tel­li­gence. All super­uni­verse ser­vices of per­son­al­ity dis­patch (ex­cept In­spired Trin­ity Spir­its and Thought Ad­justers) pass through one of these seven ex­ec­u­tive worlds on their uni­verse jour­neys to and from Par­a­dise, and here are main­tained the cen­tral reg­istries for all per­son­al­i­ties cre­ated by the Third Source and Cen­ter who func­tion in the super­uni­verses. The sys­tem of ma­te­rial, mor­ontial, and spir­i­tual rec­ords on one of these ex­ec­u­tive worlds of the Spirit amazes even a be­ing of my or­der.

17:1.7The im­me­di­ate sub­or­di­nates of the Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives con­sist for the greater part of the trin­i­tized sons of Par­a­dise-Ha­vona per­son­al­i­ties and of the trin­i­tized off­spring of the glo­ri­fied mor­tal grad­u­ates from the age­long train­ing of the as­cen­dant scheme of time and space. These trin­i­tized sons are des­ig­nated for ser­vice with the Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives by the chief of the Su­preme Coun­cil of the Par­a­dise Corps of the Fi­nal­ity.

17:1.8Each Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tive has two ad­vi­sory cab­i­nets: The chil­dren of the In­fi­nite Spirit on the head­quar­ters of each super­uni­verse choose rep­re­sen­ta­tives from their ranks to serve for one mil­len­nium in the pri­mary ad­vi­sory cab­i­net of their Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tive. In all mat­ters af­fect­ing the as­cend­ing mor­tals of time, there is a sec­ondary cab­i­net, con­sist­ing of mor­tals of Par­a­dise at­tain­ment and of the trin­i­tized sons of glo­ri­fied mor­tals; this body is cho­sen by the per­fect­ing and as­cend­ing be­ings who tran­siently dwell on the seven super­uni­verse head­quar­ters. All other chiefs of af­fairs are ap­pointed by the Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives.

17:1.9From time to time, great con­claves take place on these Par­a­dise satel­lites of the Spirit. Trin­i­tized sons as­signed to these worlds, to­gether with the as­cend­ers who have at­tained Par­a­dise, as­sem­ble with the spirit per­son­al­i­ties of the Third Source and Cen­ter in the re­unions of the strug­gles and tri­umphs of the as­cen­dant ca­reer. The Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives al­ways pre­side over such fra­ter­nal gath­er­ings.

17:1.10Once in each Par­a­dise mil­len­nium the Seven Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives va­cate their seats of au­thor­ity and go to Par­a­dise, where they hold their mil­len­nial con­clave of uni­ver­sal greet­ing and well-wish­ing to the in­tel­li­gent hosts of cre­ation. This event­ful oc­ca­sion takes place in the im­me­di­ate pres­ence of Maj­es­ton, the chief of all re­flec­tive spirit groups. And they are thus able to com­mu­ni­cate si­mul­ta­ne­ously with all their as­so­ciates in the grand uni­verse through the unique func­tion­ing of uni­ver­sal re­flec­tiv­ity.

31:9.53. The Super­uni­verse Level. The third ab­so­nite level em­braces the seven Mas­ter Ar­chi­tects of the seven super­uni­verses, who now, as a group, spend about equal time in the com­pany of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its on Par­a­dise and with the Seven Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives on the seven spe­cial worlds of the In­fi­nite Spirit. They are the superco-or­di­na­tors of the grand uni­verse.

24:0.10Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers, Cir­cuit Super­vi­sors, Cen­sus Di­rec­tors, and the Per­sonal Aids are char­ac­ter­ized by the pos­ses­sion of tremen­dous en­dow­ments of anti­grav­ity. The Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers are with­out known gen­eral head­quar­ters; they roam the uni­verse of uni­verses. The Uni­verse Cir­cuit Super­vi­sors and the Cen­sus Di­rec­tors main­tain head­quar­ters on the cap­i­tals of the super­uni­verses. The Per­sonal Aids of the In­fi­nite Spirit are sta­tioned on the cen­tral Isle of Light. The As­so­ciate In­spec­tors and the As­signed Sen­tinels are re­spec­tively sta­tioned on the cap­i­tals of the lo­cal uni­verses and on the cap­i­tals of their com­po­nent sys­tems. The Grad­u­ate Guides are res­i­dent in the Ha­vona uni­verse and func­tion on all its bil­lion worlds. Most of these higher per­son­al­i­ties have sta­tions in the lo­cal uni­verses, but they are not or­gan­i­cally at­tached to the ad­min­is­tra­tions of the evo­lu­tion­ary realms.

24:5.1The As­signed Sen­tinels are co-or­di­nat­ing per­son­al­i­ties and li­ai­son rep­re­sen­ta­tives of the Seven Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives. They were per­son­al­ized on Par­a­dise by the In­fi­nite Spirit and were cre­ated for the spe­cific pur­poses of their as­sign­ment. They are of sta­tion­ary num­bers, and there are ex­actly seven bil­lion in ex­is­tence.

24:5.2Much as an As­so­ciate In­spec­tor rep­re­sents the Seven Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives to a whole lo­cal uni­verse, so in each of the ten thou­sand sys­tems of that lo­cal cre­ation there is an As­signed Sen­tinel, who acts as the di­rect rep­re­sen­ta­tive of the far-dis­tant and su­preme board of super­con­trol for the af­fairs of all seven super­uni­verses. The sen­tinels on duty in the lo­cal sys­tem gov­ern­ments of Or­von­ton are act­ing un­der the di­rect au­thor­ity of Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tive Num­ber Seven, the co-or­di­na­tor of the sev­enth super­uni­verse. But in their ad­min­is­tra­tive or­ga­ni­za­tion all sen­tinels com­mis­sioned in a lo­cal uni­verse are sub­or­di­nate to the As­so­ciate In­spec­tor sta­tioned at uni­verse head­quar­ters.

37:8.5An As­so­ciate In­spec­tor is res­i­dent on Sal­ving­ton. He is the per­sonal rep­re­sen­ta­tive of the Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tive of Or­von­ton. His as­so­ciates, the As­signed Sen­tinels in the lo­cal sys­tems, are also rep­re­sen­ta­tives of the Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tive of Or­von­ton.

55:8.2With the set­tling of the sys­tem the As­signed Sen­tinel, rep­re­sen­ta­tive of the super­uni­verse Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tive, be­comes the vol­un­teer ad­viser to the sys­tem su­preme court and ac­tual pre­sid­ing of­fi­cer of the new leg­isla­tive as­sem­bly.

24:4.1The Seven Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives, on the seven Par­a­dise spheres of the In­fi­nite Spirit, col­lec­tively func­tion as the ad­min­is­tra­tive board of super­man­agers for the seven super­uni­verses. The As­so­ciate In­spec­tors are the per­sonal em­bod­i­ment of the au­thor­ity of the Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives to the lo­cal uni­verses of time and space. These high ob­servers of the af­fairs of the lo­cal cre­ations are the joint off­spring of the In­fi­nite Spirit and the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its of Par­a­dise. In the near times of eter­nity seven hun­dred thou­sand were per­son­al­ized, and their re­serve corps abides on Par­a­dise.

24:4.2As­so­ciate In­spec­tors work un­der the di­rect super­vi­sion of the Seven Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives, be­ing their per­sonal and pow­er­ful rep­re­sen­ta­tives to the lo­cal uni­verses of time and space. An in­spec­tor is sta­tioned on the head­quar­ters sphere of each lo­cal cre­ation and is a close as­so­ciate of the res­i­dent Union of Days.

24:4.3The As­so­ciate In­spec­tors re­ceive re­ports and rec­om­men­da­tions only from their sub­or­di­nates, the As­signed Sen­tinels, sta­tioned on the cap­i­tals of the lo­cal sys­tems of in­hab­ited worlds, while they make re­ports only to their im­me­di­ate su­pe­rior, the Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tive of the super­uni­verse con­cerned.

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.

28:2.1Om­niaphim are cre­ated by the In­fi­nite Spirit in li­ai­son with the Seven Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives, and they are the ex­clu­sive ser­vants and mes­sen­gers of these same Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives. Om­niaphim are of grand uni­verse as­sign­ment, and in Or­von­ton their corps main­tains head­quar­ters in the northerly parts of Uversa, where they re­side as a spe­cial cour­tesy colony. They are not of reg­istry on Uversa, nor are they at­tached to our ad­min­is­tra­tion. Nei­ther are they di­rectly con­cerned with the as­cen­dant scheme of mor­tal pro­gres­sion.

28:2.2The om­niaphim are wholly oc­cu­pied with the over­sight of the super­uni­verses in the in­ter­ests of ad­min­is­tra­tive co-or­di­na­tion from the view­point of the Seven Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives. Our colony of om­niaphim on Uversa re­ceives in­struc­tions from, and makes re­ports to, only the Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tive of Or­von­ton, sit­u­ated on con­joint ex­ec­u­tive sphere num­ber seven in the outer ring of Par­a­dise satel­lites.

30:1.52. The Seven Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives.

30:2.162. The Seven Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives.

17:3.11On the head­quar­ters of each super­uni­verse the re­flec­tive or­ga­ni­za­tion acts as a seg­re­gated unit; but on cer­tain spe­cial oc­ca­sions, un­der the di­rec­tion of Maj­es­ton, all seven may and do act in uni­ver­sal uni­son, as in the event of the ju­bilee oc­ca­sioned by the set­tling of an en­tire lo­cal uni­verse in light and life and at the times of the mil­len­nial greet­ings of the Seven Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives.

15:10.1The head­quar­ters of the super­uni­verses are the seats of the high spir­i­tual gov­ern­ment of the time-space do­mains. The ex­ec­u­tive branch of the super­gov­ern­ment, tak­ing ori­gin in the Coun­cils of the Trin­ity, is im­me­di­ately di­rected by one of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its of su­preme super­vi­sion, be­ings who sit upon seats of Par­a­dise au­thor­ity and ad­min­is­ter the super­uni­verses through the Seven Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives sta­tioned on the seven spe­cial worlds of the In­fi­nite Spirit, the out­er­most satel­lites of Par­a­dise.

24:1.7The su­preme super­vi­sors of Ha­vona and the as­so­ciate super­vi­sors of the seven super­uni­verses are of com­pleted num­bers; no more of these or­ders are be­ing cre­ated. The su­preme super­vi­sors are seven in num­ber and are sta­tioned on the pi­lot worlds of the seven Ha­vona cir­cuits. The cir­cuits of the seven super­uni­verses are in the charge of a mar­velous group of seven as­so­ciate super­vi­sors, who main­tain head­quar­ters on the seven Par­a­dise spheres of the In­fi­nite Spirit, the worlds of the Seven Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives. From here they super­vise and di­rect the cir­cuits of the super­uni­verses of space.

24:1.8On these Par­a­dise spheres of the Spirit the seven as­so­ciate cir­cuit super­vi­sors and the first or­der of the Su­preme Power Cen­ters ef­fect a li­ai­son which, un­der the di­rec­tion of the Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives, re­sults in the sub-Par­a­dise co-or­di­na­tion of all ma­te­rial and spir­i­tual cir­cuits pass­ing out to the seven super­uni­verses.

55:4.227. The sev­enth stage of light and life. Early in the sev­enth epoch the Trin­ity Teacher coun­selor of the Plan­e­tary Sov­er­eign is joined by a vol­un­teer ad­viser sent by the An­cients of Days, and later on they will be aug­mented by a third coun­selor com­ing from the super­uni­verse Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tive.

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.

29:2.101. Su­preme Cen­ter Super­vi­sors. These seven co-or­di­nates and as­so­ciates of the Su­preme Power Di­rec­tors are the reg­u­la­tors of the mas­ter en­ergy cir­cuits of the grand uni­verse. Each cen­ter super­vi­sor is head­quar­tered on one of the spe­cial worlds of the Seven Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives, and they work in close as­so­ci­a­tion with these co-or­di­na­tors of gen­eral uni­verse af­fairs.

22:1.12The Trin­i­tized Sons of Per­fec­tion. The Ce­les­tial Guard­i­ans and their co-or­di­nates, the High Son As­sis­tants, com­prise a unique group of twice-trin­i­tized per­son­al­i­ties. They are the crea­ture-trin­i­tized sons of Par­a­dise-Ha­vona per­son­al­i­ties or of per­fected as­cen­dant mor­tals who have long dis­tin­guished them­selves in the Corps of the Fi­nal­ity. Some of these crea­ture-trin­i­tized sons, af­ter ser­vice with the Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its and af­ter serv­ing un­der the Trin­ity Teacher Sons, are re­trini­tized (em­braced) by the Par­a­dise Trin­ity and then com­mis­sioned to the courts of the An­cients of Days as Ce­les­tial Guard­i­ans and as High Son As­sis­tants. Trin­i­tized Sons of Per­fec­tion are as­signed di­rectly to the super­uni­verse ser­vice with­out fur­ther train­ing.

22:8.2When new as­cender-trin­i­tized and Par­a­dise-Ha­vona-trin­i­tized sons are young and un­trained, they are usu­ally dis­patched for long pe­ri­ods of ser­vice on the seven Par­a­dise spheres of the In­fi­nite Spirit, where they serve un­der the tute­lage of the Seven Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives. Sub­se­quently they may be adopted for fur­ther train­ing in the lo­cal uni­verses by the Trin­ity Teacher Sons.
