17:0.1The seven Su­preme Spirit groups are the uni­ver­sal co-or­di­nat­ing di­rec­tors of the seven-seg­mented ad­min­is­tra­tion of the grand uni­verse. Al­though all are classed among the func­tional fam­ily of the In­fi­nite Spirit, the fol­low­ing three groups are usu­ally clas­si­fied as chil­dren of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity:

17:0.21. The Seven Mas­ter Spir­its.

17:0.32. The Seven Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives.

17:0.43. The Re­flec­tive Spir­its.

17:0.5The re­main­ing four groups are brought into be­ing by the cre­ative acts of the In­fi­nite Spirit or by his as­so­ciates of cre­ative sta­tus:

17:0.64. The Re­flec­tive Im­age Aids.

17:0.75. The Seven Spir­its of the Cir­cuits.

17:0.86. The Lo­cal Uni­verse Cre­ative Spir­its.

17:0.97. The Ad­ju­tant Mind-Spir­its.

17:0.10These seven or­ders are known on Uversa as the seven Su­preme Spirit groups. Their func­tional do­main ex­tends from the per­sonal pres­ence of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its on the pe­riph­ery of the eter­nal Isle, through the seven Par­a­dise satel­lites of the Spirit, the Ha­vona cir­cuits, the gov­ern­ments of the super­uni­verses, and the ad­min­is­tra­tion and super­vi­sion of the lo­cal uni­verses, even to the lowly ser­vice of the ad­ju­tants be­stowed upon the realms of evo­lu­tion­ary mind on the worlds of time and space.

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.

17:0.12The Seven Mas­ter Spir­its do not di­rectly and per­son­ally con­tact uni­verse ad­min­is­tra­tion be­low the courts of the An­cients of Days. Your lo­cal uni­verse is ad­min­is­tered as a part of our super­uni­verse by the Mas­ter Spirit of Or­von­ton, but his func­tion in re­la­tion to the na­tive be­ings of Neb­a­don is im­me­di­ately dis­charged and per­son­ally di­rected by the Cre­ative Mother Spirit res­i­dent on Sal­ving­ton, the head­quar­ters of your lo­cal uni­verse.

17:8.3The seven Su­preme Spirit groups are the co-or­di­na­tors of the in­hab­ited cre­ation. The as­so­ci­a­tion of their di­rect­ing heads, the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its, ap­pears to co-or­di­nate the far-flung ac­tiv­i­ties of God the Sev­en­fold:

all ministering spirits spring from 1 paragraph

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.

nucleus of functional family of Infinite Spirit 1 paragraph

17:8.1The seven groups of Su­preme Spir­its con­sti­tute the nu­cleus of the func­tional fam­ily of the Third Source and Cen­ter both as the In­fi­nite Spirit and as the Con­joint Ac­tor. The do­main of the Su­preme Spir­its ex­tends from the pres­ence of the Trin­ity on Par­a­dise to the func­tion­ing of mind of the evo­lu­tion­ary-mor­tal or­der on the plan­ets of space. Thus do they unify the de­scend­ing ad­min­is­tra­tive lev­els and co-or­di­nate the man­i­fold func­tions of the per­son­nel thereof. Whether it is a Re­flec­tive Spirit group in li­ai­son with the An­cients of Days, a Cre­ative Spirit act­ing in con­cert with a Mi­chael Son, or the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its en­cir­cuited around the Par­a­dise Trin­ity, the ac­tiv­ity of the Su­preme Spir­its is en­coun­tered ev­ery­where in the cen­tral, su­per-, and lo­cal uni­verses. They func­tion alike with the Trin­ity per­son­al­i­ties of the or­der of “Days” and with the Par­a­dise per­son­al­i­ties of the or­der of “Sons.”
