advised Melchizedek receivers after rebellion 1 paragraph

67:6.5The af­fairs of Uran­tia were for a long time ad­min­is­tered by a coun­cil of plan­e­tary re­ceivers, twelve Mel­chiz­e­deks, con­firmed by the man­date of the se­nior con­stel­la­tion ruler, the Most High Fa­ther of Nor­la­ti­adek. As­so­ci­ated with the Mel­chiz­e­dek re­ceivers was an ad­vi­sory coun­cil con­sist­ing of: one of the loyal aids of the fallen Prince, the two res­i­dent Life Car­ri­ers, a Trin­i­tized Son in ap­pren­tice­ship train­ing, a vol­un­teer Teacher Son, a Bril­liant Evening Star of Avalon (pe­ri­od­i­cally), the chiefs of ser­a­phim and cheru­bim, ad­vis­ers from two neigh­bor­ing plan­ets, the di­rec­tor gen­eral of sub­or­di­nate an­gelic life, and Van, the com­man­der in chief of the mid­way crea­tures. And thus was Uran­tia gov­erned and ad­min­is­tered un­til the ar­rival of Adam. It is not strange that the coura­geous and loyal Van was as­signed a place on the coun­cil of plan­e­tary re­ceivers which for so long ad­min­is­tered the af­fairs of Uran­tia.

completion seraphim attached to 1 paragraph

39:9.1Af­ter at­tain­ment of the Fa­ther of spir­its and ad­mis­sion to the se­raphic ser­vice of com­ple­tion, an­gels are some­times as­signed to the min­istry of worlds set­tled in light and life. They gain at­tach­ment to the high trin­i­tized be­ings of the uni­verses and to the ex­alted ser­vices of Par­a­dise and Ha­vona. These ser­a­phim of the lo­cal uni­verses have ex­pe­ri­en­tially com­pen­sated the dif­fer­en­tial in di­vin­ity po­ten­tial for­merly set­ting them apart from the min­is­ter­ing spir­its of the cen­tral and super­uni­verses. An­gels of the Se­raphic Corps of Com­ple­tion serve as as­so­ciates of the super­uni­verse se­con­a­phim and as as­sis­tants to the high Par­a­dise-Ha­vona or­ders of super­na­phim. For such an­gels the ca­reer of time is fin­ished; hence­forth and for­ever they are the ser­vants of God, the con­sorts of di­vine per­son­al­i­ties, and the peers of the Par­a­dise fi­nal­i­ters.

22:1.13Our Trin­ity-ori­gin as­so­ciates—Per­fec­tors of Wis­dom, Di­vine Coun­selors, and Uni­ver­sal Cen­sors—are of sta­tion­ary num­bers, but the Trin­ity-em­braced sons are con­stantly in­creas­ing. All seven or­ders of Trin­ity-em­braced sons are com­mis­sioned as mem­bers of one of the seven super­uni­verse gov­ern­ments, and the num­ber in the ser­vice of each super­uni­verse is ex­actly the same; not one has ever been lost. Trin­ity-em­braced be­ings have never gone astray; they may stum­ble tem­porar­ily, but not one has ever been ad­judged in con­tempt of the super­uni­verse gov­ern­ments. The Sons of At­tain­ment and the Sons of Se­lec­tion have never fal­tered in the ser­vice of Or­von­ton, but the Trin­i­tized Sons of Per­fec­tion have some­times erred in judg­ment and thereby caused tran­sient con­fu­sion.

function as self-governing groups 1 paragraph

22:1.14Un­der the di­rec­tion of the An­cients of Days all seven or­ders func­tion very much as self-gov­ern­ing groups. Their scope of ser­vice is far-flung; Trin­i­tized Sons of Per­fec­tion do not leave the super­uni­verse of as­sign­ment, but their trin­i­tized as­so­ciates range the grand uni­verse, jour­ney­ing from the evo­lu­tion­ary worlds of time and space to the eter­nal Isle of Par­a­dise. They may func­tion in any of the super­uni­verses, but they do so al­ways as mem­bers of the super­gov­ern­ment of orig­i­nal des­ig­na­tion.

homes are on Paradise 1 paragraph

13:2.4The Trin­ity-ori­gin be­ings do not fully share the Fa­ther’s worlds; they have their sole homes on the Isle of Par­a­dise in close prox­im­ity to the Most Holy Sphere. They of­ten ap­pear on As­cend­ing­ton, the “bo­som of the Fa­ther-Son-Spirit,” where they frat­er­nize with their breth­ren who have come up from the lowly worlds of space.

53:7.4This was a La­non­an­dek re­bel­lion. The higher or­ders of lo­cal uni­verse son­ship did not join the Lu­cifer se­ces­sion, al­though a few of the Life Car­ri­ers sta­tioned on the rebel plan­ets were some­what in­flu­enced by the re­bel­lion of the dis­loyal princes. None of the Trin­i­tized Sons went astray. The Mel­chiz­e­deks, arch­an­gels, and the Bril­liant Evening Stars were all loyal to Mi­chael and, with Ga­briel, valiantly con­tended for the Fa­ther’s will and the Son’s rule.

37:4.2From time to time we thus ben­e­fit from the min­istry and as­sis­tance of such Par­a­dise-ori­gin be­ings as Per­fec­tors of Wis­dom, Di­vine Coun­selors, Uni­ver­sal Cen­sors, In­spired Trin­ity Spir­its, Trin­i­tized Sons, Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers, super­na­phim, se­con­a­phim, ter­tiaphim, and other gra­cious min­is­ters, who so­journ with us for the pur­pose of help­ing our na­tive per­son­al­i­ties in the ef­fort to bring all Neb­a­don into fuller har­mony with the ideas of Or­von­ton and the ide­als of Par­a­dise.

26:7.3Af­ter the com­ple­tion of the course of train­ing on this cir­cuit the Trin­ity guides take their pupils to its pi­lot world and pre­sent them be­fore one of the many tri­une com­mis­sions func­tion­ing as ex­am­in­ers and cer­ti­fiers of can­di­dates for the De­ity ad­ven­ture. These com­mis­sions con­sist of one fel­low of the fi­nal­i­ters, one of the di­rec­tors of con­duct of the or­der of pri­mary super­na­phim, and ei­ther a Soli­tary Mes­sen­ger of space or a Trin­i­tized Son of Par­a­dise.

22:0.1There are three groups of be­ings who are called Sons of God. In ad­di­tion to de­scend­ing and as­cend­ing or­ders of son­ship there is a third group known as the Trin­i­tized Sons of God. The trin­i­tized or­der of son­ship is sub­di­vided into three pri­mary di­vi­sions in ac­cor­dance with the ori­gins of its many types of per­son­al­i­ties, re­vealed and un­re­vealed. These pri­mary di­vi­sions are:

22:0.21. De­ity-trin­i­tized Sons.

22:0.32. Trin­ity-em­braced Sons.

22:0.43. Crea­ture-trin­i­tized Sons.

22:0.5Ir­re­spec­tive of ori­gin all Trin­i­tized Sons of God have in com­mon the ex­pe­ri­ence of trin­i­ti­za­tion, ei­ther as a part of their ori­gin or as an ex­pe­ri­ence of Trin­ity em­brace sub­se­quently at­tained. The De­ity-trin­i­tized Sons are un­re­vealed in these nar­ra­tives; there­fore will this pre­sen­ta­tion be con­fined to a por­trayal of the re­main­ing two groups, more par­tic­u­larly the Trin­ity-em­braced sons of God.

22:1.1All Trin­ity-em­braced sons are orig­i­nally of dual or sin­gle ori­gin, but sub­se­quent to the Trin­ity em­brace they are for­ever de­voted to Trin­ity ser­vice and as­sign­ment. This corps, as re­vealed and as or­ga­nized for super­uni­verse ser­vice, em­braces seven or­ders of per­son­al­i­ties:

22:1.21. Mighty Mes­sen­gers.

22:1.32. Those High in Au­thor­ity.

22:1.43. Those with­out Name and Num­ber.

22:1.54. Trin­i­tized Cus­to­di­ans.

22:1.65. Trin­i­tized Am­bas­sadors.

22:1.76. Ce­les­tial Guard­i­ans.

22:1.87. High Son As­sis­tants.

22:1.9These seven groups of per­son­al­i­ties are fur­ther clas­si­fied, ac­cord­ing to ori­gin, na­ture, and func­tion, into three ma­jor di­vi­sions: the Trin­i­tized Sons of At­tain­ment, the Trin­i­tized Sons of Se­lec­tion, and the Trin­i­tized Sons of Per­fec­tion.

22:1.10The Trin­i­tized Sons of At­tain­ment—the Mighty Mes­sen­gers, Those High in Au­thor­ity, and Those with­out Name and Num­ber—are all Ad­juster-fused as­cen­dant mor­tals who have at­tained Par­a­dise and the Corps of the Fi­nal­ity. But they are not fi­nal­i­ters; when they have been Trin­ity em­braced, their names are re­moved from the fi­nal­i­ter roll call. The new sons of this or­der pass through spe­cific courses of train­ing, for com­par­a­tively short pe­ri­ods, on the cir­cuit head­quar­ters plan­ets of the Ha­vona cir­cuits un­der the di­rec­tion of the Eter­nals of Days. There­after they are as­signed to the ser­vices of the An­cients of Days in the seven super­uni­verses.

22:1.11The Trin­i­tized Sons of Se­lec­tion em­brace the Trin­i­tized Cus­to­di­ans and the Trin­i­tized Am­bas­sadors. They are re­cruited from cer­tain of the evo­lu­tion­ary ser­a­phim and trans­lated mid­way crea­tures who have tra­versed Ha­vona and have at­tained Par­a­dise, as well as from cer­tain of the Spirit-fused and the Son-fused mor­tals who have like­wise as­cended to the cen­tral Isle of Light and Life. Sub­se­quent to their em­brace by the Par­a­dise Trin­ity and af­ter a brief train­ing in Ha­vona, the Trin­i­tized Sons of Se­lec­tion are as­signed to the courts of the An­cients of Days.

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.

22:1.14 read above, under function as self-governing groups

22:1.15Ap­par­ently the Trin­ity-em­braced sons have been per­ma­nently as­signed to the ser­vice of the seven super­uni­verses; cer­tainly this as­sign­ment is for the du­ra­tion of the pres­ent uni­verse age, but we have never been in­formed that it is to be eter­nal.

22:7.9While these par­ents of crea­ture-trin­i­tized sons be­come as one in their uni­verse as­sign­ments, they con­tinue to be reck­oned as two per­son­al­i­ties in the make-up and roll calls of the Corps of the Fi­nal­ity and of the Ar­chi­tects of the Mas­ter Uni­verse. Dur­ing the cur­rent uni­verse age, all trin­i­ti­za­tion-united par­ents are in­sep­a­ra­ble in as­sign­ment and func­tion; where one goes the other goes, what one does the other does. If pa­ren­tal bi-uni­fi­ca­tion in­volves a mor­tal (or other) fi­nal­i­ter and a Par­a­dise-Ha­vona per­son­al­ity, the united pa­ren­tal be­ings func­tion nei­ther with the Par­adis­ers, Havon­ers, nor fi­nal­i­ters. Such mixed unions for­gather in a spe­cial corps made up of sim­i­lar be­ings. And in all trin­i­ti­za­tion unions, mixed or oth­er­wise, the pa­ren­tal be­ings are con­scious of, and can com­mu­ni­cate with, each other, and they can per­form du­ties that nei­ther could have pre­vi­ously dis­charged.

22:7.10The Seven Mas­ter Spir­its have au­thor­ity to sanc­tion the trini­tiz­ing union of fi­nal­i­ters and Par­a­dise-Ha­vona per­son­al­i­ties, and such mixed li­aisons are al­ways suc­cess­ful. The re­sul­tant mag­nif­i­cent crea­ture-trin­i­tized sons are rep­re­sen­ta­tive of con­cepts un­suited to the com­pre­hen­sion of ei­ther the eter­nal crea­tures of Par­a­dise or the time crea­tures of space; hence they be­come the wards of the Ar­chi­tects of the Mas­ter Uni­verse. These trin­i­tized sons of des­tiny em­body ideas, ide­als, and ex­pe­ri­ence which ap­par­ently per­tain to a fu­ture uni­verse age and are there­fore of no im­me­di­ate prac­ti­cal value to ei­ther the su­per- or cen­tral uni­verse ad­min­is­tra­tions. These unique sons of the chil­dren of time and the cit­i­zens of eter­nity are all held in re­serve on Vicegering­ton, where they are en­gaged in the study of the con­cepts of time and the re­al­i­ties of eter­nity in a spe­cial sec­tor of the sphere oc­cu­pied by the se­cret col­leges of the corps of the Cre­ator Sons.

22:7.11The Su­preme Be­ing is the uni­fi­ca­tion of three phases of De­ity re­al­ity: God the Su­preme, the spir­i­tual uni­fi­ca­tion of cer­tain fi­nite as­pects of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity; the Al­mighty Su­preme, the power uni­fi­ca­tion of the grand uni­verse Cre­ators; and the Su­preme Mind, the in­di­vid­ual con­tri­bu­tion of the Third Source and Cen­ter and his co-or­di­nates to the re­al­ity of the Su­preme Be­ing. In their trin­i­ti­za­tion ad­ven­tures the su­perb crea­tures of the cen­tral uni­verse and Par­a­dise are en­gaged in a three­fold ex­plo­ration of the De­ity of the Su­preme which re­sults in the pro­duc­tion of three or­ders of crea­ture-trin­i­tized sons:

22:7.121. As­cender-trin­i­tized Sons. In their cre­ative ef­forts the fi­nal­i­ters are at­tempt­ing to trini­tize cer­tain con­cep­tual re­al­i­ties of the Al­mighty Su­preme which they have ex­pe­ri­en­tially ac­quired in their as­cen­sion through time and space to Par­a­dise.

22:7.132. Par­a­dise-Ha­vona-trin­i­tized Sons. The cre­ative ef­forts of the Par­a­dise Cit­i­zens and the Havon­ers re­sult in the trin­i­ti­za­tion of cer­tain high spir­i­tual as­pects of the Su­preme Be­ing which they have ex­pe­ri­en­tially ac­quired on a super­su­preme back­ground bor­der­ing on the Ul­ti­mate and the Eter­nal.

22:8.1In ad­di­tion to the crea­ture-trin­i­tized sons con­sid­ered in this nar­ra­tive, there are nu­mer­ous un­re­vealed or­ders of crea­ture-trin­i­tized be­ings—the di­verse progeny of the mul­ti­ple li­aisons of seven fi­nal­i­ter corps and Par­a­dise-Ha­vona per­son­al­i­ties. But all these crea­ture-trin­i­tized be­ings, re­vealed and un­re­vealed, are en­dowed with per­son­al­ity by the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther.

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.

22:8.3These adopted sons of high and glo­ri­fied crea­ture ori­gin are the ap­pren­tices, stu­dent helpers, of the Teacher Sons, and as re­gards clas­si­fi­ca­tion they are of­ten tem­porar­ily num­bered with these Sons. They may and do ex­e­cute many no­ble as­sign­ments in self-de­nial in be­half of their cho­sen realms of ser­vice.

22:8.4The Teacher Sons in the lo­cal uni­verses may nom­i­nate their crea­ture-trin­i­tized wards for em­brace by the Par­a­dise Trin­ity. Emerg­ing from this em­brace as Trin­i­tized Sons of Per­fec­tion, they en­ter the ser­vice of the An­cients of Days in the seven super­uni­verses, that be­ing the pres­ent known des­tiny of this unique group of twice-trin­i­tized be­ings.

22:8.5Not all crea­ture-trin­i­tized sons are Trin­ity em­braced; many be­come the as­so­ciates and am­bas­sadors of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its of Par­a­dise, of the Re­flec­tive Spir­its of the super­uni­verses, and of the Mother Spir­its of the lo­cal cre­ations. Oth­ers may ac­cept spe­cial as­sign­ments on the eter­nal Isle. Still oth­ers may en­ter the spe­cial ser­vices on the se­cret worlds of the Fa­ther and on the Par­a­dise spheres of the Spirit. Even­tu­ally many find their way into the con­joint corps of the Trin­i­tized Sons on the in­ner cir­cuit of Ha­vona.

22:8.6Ex­cept­ing the Trin­i­tized Sons of Per­fec­tion and those who are for­gath­er­ing on Vicegering­ton, the su­preme des­tiny of all crea­ture-trin­i­tized sons ap­pears to be en­trance into the Corps of Trin­i­tized Fi­nal­i­ters, one of the seven Par­a­dise Corps of the Fi­nal­ity.

23:4.3When a fi­nal­i­ter and a Par­a­dise Cit­i­zen co-op­er­ate in the trin­i­ti­za­tion of a “child of time and eter­nity”—a trans­ac­tion in­volv­ing the un­re­vealed mind po­ten­tials of the Su­preme-Ul­ti­mate—and when such an un­clas­si­fied per­son­al­ity is dis­patched to Vicegering­ton, a Soli­tary Mes­sen­ger (a con­jec­tured per­son­al­ity reper­cus­sion of the be­stowal of such de­ity mind) is al­ways as­signed as guard­ian-com­pan­ion to such a crea­ture-trin­i­tized son. This mes­sen­ger ac­com­pa­nies the new son of des­tiny to the world of his as­sign­ment and nev­er­more leaves Vicegering­ton. When thus at­tached to the des­tinies of a child of time and eter­nity, a Soli­tary Mes­sen­ger is for­ever trans­ferred to the sole super­vi­sion of the Ar­chi­tects of the Mas­ter Uni­verse. What the fu­ture of such an ex­traor­di­nary as­so­ci­a­tion may be, we do not know. For ages these part­ner­ships of unique per­son­al­i­ties have con­tin­ued to for­gather on Vicegering­ton, but not even a sin­gle pair has ever gone forth there­from.
