sevenfold controllers

116:5.1You have been in­structed in the re­la­tion­ship of God the Sev­en­fold to the Su­preme Be­ing, and you should now rec­og­nize that the Sev­en­fold en­com­passes the con­trol­lers as well as the cre­ators of the grand uni­verse. These sev­en­fold con­trol­lers of the grand uni­verse em­brace the fol­low­ing:

116:5.21. The Mas­ter Phys­i­cal Con­trol­lers.

116:5.32. The Su­preme Power Cen­ters.

116:5.43. The Su­preme Power Di­rec­tors.

116:5.54. The Al­mighty Su­preme.

116:5.65. The God of Ac­tion—the In­fi­nite Spirit.

116:5.76. The Isle of Par­a­dise.

116:5.87. The Source of Par­a­dise—the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther.

• physical control level of God the Sevenfold

116:5.9These seven groups are func­tion­ally in­sep­a­ra­ble from God the Sev­en­fold and con­sti­tute the phys­i­cal-con­trol level of this De­ity as­so­ci­a­tion.

116:5.10The bi­fur­ca­tion of en­ergy and spirit (stem­ming from the con­joint pres­ence of the Eter­nal Son and the Par­a­dise Isle) was sym­bol­ized in the super­uni­verse sense when the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its unit­edly en­gaged in their first act of col­lec­tive cre­ation. This episode wit­nessed the ap­pear­ance of the Seven Su­preme Power Di­rec­tors. Con­comi­tant there­with the spir­i­tual cir­cuits of the Mas­ter Spir­its con­trastively dif­fer­en­ti­ated from the phys­i­cal ac­tiv­i­ties of power di­rec­tor super­vi­sion, and im­me­di­ately did the cos­mic mind ap­pear as a new fac­tor co-or­di­nat­ing mat­ter and spirit.

116:5.11The Al­mighty Su­preme is evolv­ing as the over­con­trol­ler of the phys­i­cal power of the grand uni­verse. In the pres­ent uni­verse age this po­ten­tial of phys­i­cal power ap­pears to be cen­tered in the Seven Su­preme Power Di­rec­tors, who op­er­ate through the fixed lo­ca­tions of the power cen­ters and through the mo­bile pres­ences of the phys­i­cal con­trol­lers.

116:5.12The time uni­verses are not per­fect; that is their des­tiny. The strug­gle for per­fec­tion per­tains not only to the in­tel­lec­tual and the spir­i­tual lev­els but also to the phys­i­cal level of en­ergy and mass. The set­tle­ment of the seven super­uni­verses in light and life pre­sup­poses their at­tain­ment of phys­i­cal sta­bil­ity. And it is con­jec­tured that the fi­nal at­tain­ment of ma­te­rial equi­lib­rium will sig­nify the com­pleted evo­lu­tion of the phys­i­cal con­trol of the Al­mighty.

116:5.13In the early days of uni­verse build­ing even the Par­a­dise Cre­ators are pri­mar­ily con­cerned with ma­te­rial equi­lib­rium. The pat­tern of a lo­cal uni­verse takes shape not only as a re­sult of the ac­tiv­i­ties of the power cen­ters but also be­cause of the space pres­ence of the Cre­ative Spirit. And through­out these early epochs of lo­cal uni­verse build­ing the Cre­ator Son ex­hibits a lit­tle-un­der­stood at­tri­bute of ma­te­rial con­trol, and he does not leave his cap­i­tal planet un­til the gross equi­lib­rium of the lo­cal uni­verse has been es­tab­lished.

116:5.14In the fi­nal anal­y­sis, all en­ergy re­sponds to mind, and the phys­i­cal con­trol­lers are the chil­dren of the mind God, who is the ac­ti­va­tor of Par­a­dise pat­tern. The in­tel­li­gence of the power di­rec­tors is un­remit­tingly de­voted to the task of bring­ing about ma­te­rial con­trol. Their strug­gle for phys­i­cal dom­i­nance over the re­la­tion­ships of en­ergy and the mo­tions of mass never ceases un­til they achieve fi­nite vic­tory over the en­er­gies and masses which con­sti­tute their per­pet­ual do­mains of ac­tiv­ity.

116:5.15The spirit strug­gles of time and space have to do with the evo­lu­tion of spirit dom­i­nance over mat­ter by the me­di­a­tion of (per­sonal) mind; the phys­i­cal (non­per­sonal) evo­lu­tion of the uni­verses has to do with bring­ing cos­mic en­ergy into har­mony with the equi­lib­rium con­cepts of mind sub­ject to the over­con­trol of spirit. The to­tal evo­lu­tion of the en­tire grand uni­verse is a mat­ter of the per­son­al­ity uni­fi­ca­tion of the en­ergy-con­trol­ling mind with the spirit-co-or­di­nated in­tel­lect and will be re­vealed in the full ap­pear­ance of the al­mighty power of the Su­preme.

116:5.16The dif­fi­culty in ar­riv­ing at a state of dy­namic equi­lib­rium is in­her­ent in the fact of the grow­ing cos­mos. The es­tab­lished cir­cuits of phys­i­cal cre­ation are be­ing con­tin­u­ally jeop­ar­dized by the ap­pear­ance of new en­ergy and new mass. A grow­ing uni­verse is an un­set­tled uni­verse; hence no part of the cos­mic whole can find real sta­bil­ity un­til the full­ness of time wit­nesses the ma­te­rial com­ple­tion of the seven super­uni­verses.

116:5.17In the set­tled uni­verses of light and life there are no un­ex­pected phys­i­cal events of ma­jor im­por­tance. Rel­a­tively com­plete con­trol over the ma­te­rial cre­ation has been achieved; still the prob­lems of the re­la­tion­ship of the set­tled uni­verses to the evolv­ing uni­verses con­tinue to chal­lenge the skill of the Uni­verse Power Di­rec­tors. But these prob­lems will grad­u­ally van­ish with the diminu­tion of new cre­ative ac­tiv­ity as the grand uni­verse ap­proaches cul­mi­na­tion of evo­lu­tion­ary ex­pres­sion.
