9:3.6The uni­verse of uni­verses is per­me­ated by the power-con­trol crea­tures of the Third Source and Cen­ter: phys­i­cal con­trol­lers, power di­rec­tors, power cen­ters, and other rep­re­sen­ta­tives of the God of Ac­tion who have to do with the reg­u­la­tion and sta­bi­liza­tion of phys­i­cal en­er­gies. These unique crea­tures of phys­i­cal func­tion all pos­sess vary­ing at­tri­butes of power con­trol, such as anti­grav­ity, which they uti­lize in their ef­forts to es­tab­lish the phys­i­cal equi­lib­rium of the mat­ter and en­er­gies of the grand uni­verse.

11:8.73. Post­grav­ity Stages (Uni­verse Power). In this stage, en­ergy-mat­ter dis­closes re­sponse to the con­trol of lin­ear grav­ity. In the cen­tral uni­verse these phys­i­cal sys­tems are three­fold or­ga­ni­za­tions known as tri­ata. They are the super­power mother sys­tems of the cre­ations of time and space. The phys­i­cal sys­tems of the super­uni­verses are mo­bi­lized by the Uni­verse Power Di­rec­tors and their as­so­ciates. These ma­te­rial or­ga­ni­za­tions are dual in con­sti­tu­tion and are known as gravita. The dark grav­ity bod­ies en­cir­cling Ha­vona are nei­ther tri­ata nor gravita, and their draw­ing power dis­closes both forms of phys­i­cal grav­ity, lin­ear and ab­so­lute.

12:2.4The Uversa star stu­dents ob­serve that the grand uni­verse is sur­rounded by the an­ces­tors of a se­ries of starry and plan­e­tary clus­ters which com­pletely en­cir­cle the pres­ent in­hab­ited cre­ation as con­cen­tric rings of outer uni­verses upon uni­verses. The physi­cists of Uversa cal­cu­late that the en­ergy and mat­ter of these outer and un­charted re­gions al­ready equal many times the to­tal ma­te­rial mass and en­ergy charge em­braced in all seven super­uni­verses. We are in­formed that the meta­mor­pho­sis of cos­mic force in these outer space lev­els is a func­tion of the Par­a­dise force or­ga­niz­ers. We also know that these forces are an­ces­tral to those phys­i­cal en­er­gies which at pres­ent ac­ti­vate the grand uni­verse. The Or­von­ton power di­rec­tors, how­ever, have noth­ing to do with these far-dis­tant realms, nei­ther are the en­ergy move­ments therein dis­cernibly con­nected with the power cir­cuits of the or­ga­nized and in­hab­ited cre­ations.

• Solitarington is status sphere

13:1.16This is also the home of the Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers and of other per­son­al­i­ties of the super­an­gelic or­ders. You know of very few of these be­ings; there are vast num­bers of or­ders un­re­vealed on Uran­tia. Be­cause they are domi­ciled on the fifth world, it does not nec­es­sar­ily fol­low that the Fa­ther had aught to do with the cre­ation of Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers or their super­an­gelic as­so­ciates, but in this uni­verse age he does have to do with their func­tion. Dur­ing the pres­ent uni­verse age this is also the sta­tus sphere of the Uni­verse Power Di­rec­tors.

15:4.2The Par­a­dise force or­ga­niz­ers trans­mute space po­tency into pri­mor­dial force and evolve this pre­ma­te­rial po­ten­tial into the pri­mary and sec­ondary en­ergy man­i­fes­ta­tions of phys­i­cal re­al­ity. When this en­ergy at­tains grav­ity-re­spond­ing lev­els, the power di­rec­tors and their as­so­ciates of the super­uni­verse regime ap­pear upon the scene and be­gin their never-end­ing ma­nip­u­la­tions de­signed to es­tab­lish the man­i­fold power cir­cuits and en­ergy chan­nels of the uni­verses of time and space. Thus does phys­i­cal mat­ter ap­pear in space, and so is the stage set for the in­au­gu­ra­tion of uni­verse or­ga­ni­za­tion.

15:5.1The bulk of the mass con­tained in the suns and plan­ets of a super­uni­verse orig­i­nates in the neb­u­lar wheels; very lit­tle of super­uni­verse mass is or­ga­nized by the di­rect ac­tion of the power di­rec­tors (as in the con­struc­tion of ar­chi­tec­tural spheres), al­though a con­stantly vary­ing quan­tity of mat­ter orig­i­nates in open space.

15:6.9The tril­lions upon tril­lions of years that an or­di­nary sun will con­tinue to give out heat and light well il­lus­trates the vast store of en­ergy which each unit of mat­ter con­tains. The ac­tual en­ergy stored in these in­vis­i­ble par­ti­cles of phys­i­cal mat­ter is well-nigh unimag­in­able. And this en­ergy be­comes al­most wholly avail­able as light when sub­jected to the tremen­dous heat pres­sure and the as­so­ci­ated en­ergy ac­tiv­i­ties which pre­vail in the in­te­rior of the blaz­ing suns. Still other con­di­tions en­able these suns to trans­form and send forth much of the en­ergy of space which comes their way in the es­tab­lished space cir­cuits. Many phases of phys­i­cal en­ergy and all forms of mat­ter are at­tracted to, and sub­se­quently dis­tributed by, the so­lar dy­namos. In this way the suns serve as lo­cal ac­cel­er­a­tors of en­ergy cir­cu­la­tion, act­ing as au­to­matic power-con­trol sta­tions.

15:8.4The uni­ver­sal plan for the main­te­nance of equi­lib­rium be­tween mat­ter and en­ergy ne­ces­si­tates the ev­er­last­ing mak­ing and un­mak­ing of the lesser ma­te­rial units. The Uni­verse Power Di­rec­tors have the abil­ity to con­dense and de­tain, or to ex­pand and lib­er­ate, vary­ing quan­ti­ties of en­ergy.

15:8.5Given a suf­fi­cient du­ra­tion of re­tard­ing in­flu­ence, grav­ity would even­tu­ally con­vert all en­ergy into mat­ter were it not for two fac­tors: First, be­cause of the anti­grav­ity in­flu­ences of the en­ergy con­trol­lers, and sec­ond, be­cause or­ga­nized mat­ter tends to dis­in­te­grate un­der cer­tain con­di­tions found in very hot stars and un­der cer­tain pe­cu­liar con­di­tions in space near highly en­er­gized cold bod­ies of con­densed mat­ter.

15:8.6When mass be­comes over­ag­gre­gated and threat­ens to un­bal­ance en­ergy, to de­plete the phys­i­cal power cir­cuits, the phys­i­cal con­trol­lers in­ter­vene un­less grav­ity’s own fur­ther ten­dency to over­ma­te­ri­al­ize en­ergy is de­feated by the oc­cur­rence of a col­li­sion among the dead gi­ants of space, thus in an in­stant com­pletely dis­si­pat­ing the cu­mu­la­tive col­lec­tions of grav­ity. In these col­li­sional episodes enor­mous masses of mat­ter are sud­denly con­verted into the rarest form of en­ergy, and the strug­gle for uni­ver­sal equi­lib­rium is be­gun anew. Even­tu­ally the larger phys­i­cal sys­tems be­come sta­bi­lized, be­come phys­i­cally set­tled, and are swung into the bal­anced and es­tab­lished cir­cuits of the super­uni­verses. Sub­se­quent to this event no more col­li­sions or other dev­as­tat­ing catas­tro­phes will oc­cur in such es­tab­lished sys­tems.

15:8.10The super­uni­verse of Or­von­ton is ap­par­ently now run­ning down; the outer uni­verses seem to be wind­ing up for un­par­al­leled fu­ture ac­tiv­i­ties; the cen­tral Ha­vona uni­verse is eter­nally sta­bi­lized. Grav­ity and ab­sence of heat (cold) or­ga­nize and hold mat­ter to­gether; heat and anti­grav­ity dis­rupt mat­ter and dis­si­pate en­ergy. The liv­ing power di­rec­tors and force or­ga­niz­ers are the se­cret of the spe­cial con­trol and in­tel­li­gent di­rec­tion of the end­less meta­mor­phoses of uni­verse mak­ing, un­mak­ing, and re­mak­ing. Neb­u­lae may dis­perse, suns burn out, sys­tems van­ish, and plan­ets per­ish, but the uni­verses do not run down.

• Master Spirit #5 is adviser to

16:3.10Mas­ter Spirit Num­ber Five. This di­vine per­son­al­ity who ex­qui­sitely blends the char­ac­ter of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther and the In­fi­nite Spirit is the ad­viser of that enor­mous group of be­ings known as the power di­rec­tors, power cen­ters, and phys­i­cal con­trol­lers. This Spirit also fos­ters all per­son­al­i­ties tak­ing ori­gin in the Fa­ther and the Con­joint Ac­tor. In the coun­cils of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its, when the Fa­ther-Spirit at­ti­tude is in ques­tion, it is al­ways Mas­ter Spirit Num­ber Five who speaks.

• created by Seven Master Spirits

16:4.2The Mas­ter Spir­its are unique in that they func­tion on all uni­verse lev­els of re­al­ity ex­cept­ing the ab­so­lute. They are, there­fore, ef­fi­cient and per­fect super­vi­sors of all phases of ad­min­is­tra­tive af­fairs on all lev­els of super­uni­verse ac­tiv­i­ties. It is dif­fi­cult for the mor­tal mind to un­der­stand very much about the Mas­ter Spir­its be­cause their work is so highly spe­cial­ized yet all-em­brac­ing, so ex­cep­tion­ally ma­te­rial and at the same time so ex­qui­sitely spir­i­tual. These ver­sa­tile cre­ators of the cos­mic mind are the an­ces­tors of the Uni­verse Power Di­rec­tors and are, them­selves, su­preme di­rec­tors of the vast and far-flung spirit-crea­ture cre­ation.

24:1.1The vast power cur­rents of space and the cir­cuits of spirit en­ergy may seem to op­er­ate au­to­mat­i­cally; they may ap­pear to func­tion with­out let or hin­drance, but such is not the case. All these stu­pen­dous sys­tems of en­ergy are un­der con­trol; they are sub­ject to in­tel­li­gent super­vi­sion. Uni­verse Cir­cuit Super­vi­sors are con­cerned, not with the realms of purely phys­i­cal or ma­te­rial en­ergy—the do­main of the Uni­verse Power Di­rec­tors—but with the cir­cuits of rel­a­tive spir­i­tual en­ergy and with those mod­i­fied cir­cuits which are es­sen­tial to the main­te­nance of both the highly de­vel­oped spir­i­tual be­ings and the mor­ontia or tran­si­tion type of in­tel­li­gent crea­tures. The super­vi­sors do not give ori­gin to cir­cuits of en­ergy and super­es­sence of di­vin­ity, but in gen­eral they have to do with all higher spirit cir­cuits of time and eter­nity and with all rel­a­tive spirit cir­cuits con­cerned in the ad­min­is­tra­tion of the com­po­nent parts of the grand uni­verse. They di­rect and ma­nip­u­late all such spirit-en­ergy cir­cuits out­side the Isle of Par­a­dise.

24:1.13The Uni­verse Cir­cuit Super­vi­sors have some­thing of the same re­la­tion­ship to spirit cir­cuits that the Uni­verse Power Di­rec­tors have to ma­te­rial cir­cuits.

In gen­eral the func­tions of each or­der are ex­panded by li­ai­son with the other, but the cir­cuits of pure mind are sub­ject to the super­vi­sion of nei­ther. Nei­ther are the two or­ders co-or­di­nate; in all their man­i­fold labors the Uni­verse Cir­cuit Super­vi­sors are sub­ject to the Seven Su­preme Power Di­rec­tors and their sub­or­di­nates.

29:0.5Though I deem it im­pos­si­ble to por­tray the in­di­vid­u­al­ity of the var­i­ous groups of di­rec­tors, cen­ters, and con­trol­lers of uni­verse power, I hope to be able to ex­plain some­thing about the do­main of their ac­tiv­i­ties. They are a unique group of liv­ing be­ings hav­ing to do with the in­tel­li­gent reg­u­la­tion of en­ergy through­out the grand uni­verse. In­clud­ing the su­preme di­rec­tors, they em­brace the fol­low­ing ma­jor di­vi­sions:

• number more than 10 billion
• work › assume control upon appearance of linear gravity response and retirement of Master Force Organizers

29:0.10The Su­preme Power Di­rec­tors and Cen­ters have ex­isted from the near times of eter­nity, and as far as we know, no more be­ings of these or­ders have been cre­ated. The Seven Su­preme Di­rec­tors were per­son­al­ized by the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its, and then they col­lab­o­rated with their par­ents in the pro­duc­tion of more than ten bil­lion as­so­ciates. Be­fore the days of the power di­rec­tors the en­ergy cir­cuits of space out­side of the cen­tral uni­verse were un­der the in­tel­li­gent super­vi­sion of the Mas­ter Force Or­ga­niz­ers of Par­a­dise.

29:1.1The Seven Su­preme Power Di­rec­tors are the phys­i­cal-en­ergy reg­u­la­tors of the grand uni­verse. Their cre­ation by the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its is the first re­corded in­stance of the deriva­tion of semi­ma­te­rial progeny from true spirit an­ces­try. When the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its cre­ate in­di­vid­u­ally, they bring forth highly spir­i­tual per­son­al­i­ties on the an­gelic or­der; when they cre­ate col­lec­tively, they some­times pro­duce these high types of semi­ma­te­rial be­ings. But even these quasi-phys­i­cal be­ings would be in­vis­i­ble to the short-range vi­sion of Uran­tia mor­tals.

29:1.2The Su­preme Power Di­rec­tors are seven in num­ber, and they are iden­ti­cal in ap­pear­ance and func­tion. One can­not be dis­tin­guished from an­other ex­cept by that Mas­ter Spirit with whom each is in im­me­di­ate as­so­ci­a­tion, and to whom each is in com­plete func­tional sub­servience. Each of the Mas­ter Spir­its is thus in eter­nal union with one of their col­lec­tive off­spring. The same di­rec­tor is al­ways in as­so­ci­a­tion with the same Spirit, and their work­ing part­ner­ship re­sults in a unique as­so­ci­a­tion of phys­i­cal and spir­i­tual en­er­gies, of a semi­phys­i­cal be­ing and a spirit per­son­al­ity.

29:1.3The Seven Su­preme Power Di­rec­tors are sta­tioned on pe­riph­eral Par­a­dise, where their slowly cir­cu­lat­ing pres­ences in­di­cate the where­abouts of the force-fo­cal head­quar­ters of the Mas­ter Spir­its. These power di­rec­tors func­tion singly in the power-en­ergy reg­u­la­tion of the super­uni­verses but col­lec­tively in the ad­min­is­tra­tion of the cen­tral cre­ation. They op­er­ate from Par­a­dise but main­tain them­selves as ef­fec­tive power cen­ters in all di­vi­sions of the grand uni­verse.

• must be differently toned for each superuniverse

29:1.4These mighty be­ings are the phys­i­cal an­ces­tors of the vast host of the power cen­ters and, through them, of the phys­i­cal con­trol­lers scat­tered through­out the seven super­uni­verses. Such sub­or­di­nate phys­i­cal-con­trol or­gan­isms are ba­si­cally uni­form, iden­ti­cal ex­cept for the dif­fer­en­tial ton­ing of each super­uni­verse corps. In or­der to change in super­uni­verse ser­vice, they would merely have to re­turn to Par­a­dise for re­ton­ing. The phys­i­cal cre­ation is fun­da­men­tally uni­form in ad­min­is­tra­tion.

29:2.1The Seven Su­preme Power Di­rec­tors are not able, in­di­vid­u­ally, to re­pro­duce them­selves, but col­lec­tively, and in as­so­ci­a­tion with the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its, they can and do re­pro­duce—cre­ate—other be­ings like them­selves. Such is the ori­gin of the Su­preme Power Cen­ters of the grand uni­verse, who func­tion in the fol­low­ing seven groups:

29:2.21. Su­preme Cen­ter Super­vi­sors.

29:2.32. Ha­vona Cen­ters.

29:2.43. Super­uni­verse Cen­ters.

29:2.54. Lo­cal Uni­verse Cen­ters.

29:2.65. Con­stel­la­tion Cen­ters.

29:2.76. Sys­tem Cen­ters.

29:2.87. Un­clas­si­fied Cen­ters.

29:2.9These power cen­ters to­gether with the Su­preme Power Di­rec­tors are be­ings of high will free­dom and ac­tion. They are all en­dowed with Third-Source per­son­al­ity and dis­close un­ques­tioned vo­li­tional ca­pac­ity of a high or­der. These di­rect­ing cen­ters of the uni­verse power sys­tem are the pos­ses­sors of ex­qui­site in­tel­li­gence en­dow­ment; they are the in­tel­lect of the power sys­tem of the grand uni­verse and the se­cret of the tech­nique of the mind con­trol of all the vast net­work of the far-flung func­tions of the Mas­ter Phys­i­cal Con­trol­lers and the Mor­ontia Power Super­vi­sors.

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.

29:2.11The Su­preme Power Di­rec­tors and the Su­preme Cen­ter Super­vi­sors func­tion both as in­di­vid­u­als and con­jointly with re­gard to all cos­mic phe­nom­ena be­low the lev­els of “grav­ity en­ergy.” When act­ing in li­ai­son, these four­teen be­ings are to uni­verse power what the Seven Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives are to gen­eral uni­verse af­fairs, and what the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its are to the cos­mic mind.

29:2.122. Ha­vona Cen­ters. Be­fore the cre­ation of the uni­verses of time and space, power cen­ters were not re­quired in Ha­vona, but ever since these far-dis­tant times, one mil­lion have func­tioned in the cen­tral cre­ation, each cen­ter hav­ing the super­vi­sion of a thou­sand Ha­vona worlds. Here in the di­vine uni­verse there is per­fec­tion of en­ergy con­trol, a con­di­tion not ex­ist­ing else­where. Per­fec­tion of en­ergy reg­u­la­tion is the ul­ti­mate goal of all the power cen­ters and the phys­i­cal con­trol­lers of space.

29:2.133. Super­uni­verse Cen­ters. Oc­cu­py­ing an enor­mous area on the cap­i­tal sphere of each of the seven super­uni­verses are one thou­sand power cen­ters of the third or­der. Three cur­rents of pri­mary en­ergy of ten seg­re­ga­tions each come in to these power cen­ters, but seven spe­cial­ized and well-di­rected, though im­per­fectly con­trolled, cir­cuits of power go forth from their seat of united ac­tion. This is the elec­tronic or­ga­ni­za­tion of uni­verse power.

• work › direct force-energies of nether Paradise into useful channels

29:2.14All en­ergy is cir­cuited in the Par­a­dise cy­cle, but the Uni­verse Power Di­rec­tors di­rect the force-en­er­gies of nether Par­a­dise as they find them mod­i­fied in the space func­tions of the cen­tral and super­uni­verses, con­vert­ing and di­rect­ing these en­er­gies into chan­nels of use­ful and con­struc­tive ap­pli­ca­tion. There is a dif­fer­ence be­tween Ha­vona en­ergy and the en­er­gies of the super­uni­verses. The power charge of a super­uni­verse con­sists of three phases of en­ergy of ten seg­re­ga­tions each. This three­fold en­ergy charge spreads through­out the space of the grand uni­verse; it is like a vast mov­ing ocean of en­ergy which en­gulfs and bathes the whole of each of the seven super­cre­ations.

29:2.15The elec­tronic or­ga­ni­za­tion of uni­verse power func­tions in seven phases and dis­closes vary­ing re­sponse to lo­cal or lin­ear grav­ity. This sev­en­fold cir­cuit pro­ceeds from the super­uni­verse power cen­ters and per­vades each super­cre­ation. Such spe­cial­ized cur­rents of time and space are def­i­nite and lo­cal­ized en­ergy move­ments ini­ti­ated and di­rected for spe­cific pur­poses, much as the Gulf Stream func­tions as a cir­cum­scribed phe­nom­e­non in the midst of the At­lantic Ocean.

29:2.164. Lo­cal Uni­verse Cen­ters. On the head­quar­ters of each lo­cal uni­verse are sta­tioned one hun­dred power cen­ters of the fourth or­der. They func­tion to down­step and oth­er­wise to mod­ify the seven power cir­cuits em­a­nat­ing from super­uni­verse head­quar­ters, thus mak­ing them ap­pli­ca­ble to the ser­vices of the con­stel­la­tions and sys­tems. The lo­cal as­tro­nom­i­cal catas­tro­phes of space are of pass­ing con­cern to these power cen­ters; they are en­gaged in the or­derly dis­patch of ef­fec­tive en­ergy to the sub­sidiary con­stel­la­tions and sys­tems. They are of great as­sis­tance to the Cre­ator Sons dur­ing the later times of uni­verse or­ga­ni­za­tion and en­ergy mo­bi­liza­tion. These cen­ters are able to pro­vide in­ten­si­fied lanes of en­ergy use­ful for in­ter­plan­e­tary com­mu­ni­ca­tion be­tween im­por­tant in­hab­ited points. Such a lane or line of en­ergy, some­times also called an en­ergy path, is a di­rect cir­cuit of en­ergy from one power cen­ter to an­other power cen­ter or from one phys­i­cal con­trol­ler to an­other con­trol­ler. It is an in­di­vid­u­al­ized stream of power and stands in con­trast to the free space move­ments of un­dif­fer­en­ti­ated en­ergy.

29:2.175. Con­stel­la­tion Cen­ters. Ten of these liv­ing power cen­ters are sta­tioned in each con­stel­la­tion, func­tion­ing as en­ergy pro­jec­tors to the one hun­dred trib­u­tary lo­cal sys­tems. From these be­ings there go forth the power lines for com­mu­ni­ca­tion and trans­port and for the en­er­giz­ing of those liv­ing crea­tures who are de­pen­dent upon cer­tain forms of phys­i­cal en­ergy for the main­te­nance of life. But nei­ther the power cen­ters nor the sub­or­di­nate phys­i­cal con­trol­lers are oth­er­wise con­cerned with life as a func­tional or­ga­ni­za­tion.

29:2.186. Sys­tem Cen­ters. One Su­preme Power Cen­ter is per­ma­nently as­signed to each lo­cal sys­tem. These sys­tem cen­ters dis­patch the power cir­cuits to the in­hab­ited worlds of time and space. They co-or­di­nate the ac­tiv­i­ties of the sub­or­di­nate phys­i­cal con­trol­lers and oth­er­wise func­tion to in­sure the sat­is­fac­tory dis­tri­bu­tion of power in the lo­cal sys­tem. The cir­cuit re­lay be­tween the plan­ets de­pends upon the per­fect co-or­di­na­tion of cer­tain ma­te­rial en­er­gies and upon the ef­fi­cient reg­u­la­tion of phys­i­cal power.

29:2.197. Un­clas­si­fied Cen­ters. These are the cen­ters who func­tion in spe­cial lo­cal sit­u­a­tions but not on the in­hab­ited plan­ets. The in­di­vid­ual worlds are in the charge of Mas­ter Phys­i­cal Con­trol­lers and re­ceive the en­cir­cuited lines of power dis­patched by the power cen­ter of their sys­tem. Only those spheres of the most ex­traor­di­nary en­ergy re­la­tion­ships have power cen­ters of the sev­enth or­der act­ing as uni­verse bal­ance wheels or en­ergy gov­er­nors. In ev­ery phase of ac­tiv­ity these power cen­ters are the full equals of those who func­tion on the higher units of con­trol, but not one space body in a mil­lion har­bors such a liv­ing power or­ga­ni­za­tion.

29:3.1The Su­preme Power Cen­ters dis­tributed through­out the super­uni­verses num­ber, with their as­so­ciates and sub­or­di­nates, up­ward of ten bil­lion. And they are all in per­fect syn­chrony and com­plete li­ai­son with their Par­a­dise pro­gen­i­tors, the Seven Su­preme Power Di­rec­tors. The power con­trol of the grand uni­verse is thus in­trusted to the keep­ing and di­rec­tion of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its, the cre­ators of the Seven Su­preme Power Di­rec­tors.

• exempt from superuniverse administrative control

29:3.2The Su­preme Power Di­rec­tors and all their as­so­ciates, as­sis­tants, and sub­or­di­nates are for­ever ex­empt from ap­pre­hen­sion or in­ter­fer­ence by all the tri­bu­nals of all space; nei­ther are they sub­ject to the ad­min­is­tra­tive di­rec­tion ei­ther of the super­uni­verse gov­ern­ment of the An­cients of Days or of the lo­cal uni­verse ad­min­is­tra­tion of the Cre­ator Sons.

29:3.3These power cen­ters and di­rec­tors are brought into be­ing by the chil­dren of the In­fi­nite Spirit. They are not ger­mane to the ad­min­is­tra­tion of the Sons of God, though they af­fil­i­ate with the Cre­ator Sons dur­ing the later epochs of uni­verse ma­te­rial or­ga­ni­za­tion. But the power cen­ters are in some way closely as­so­ci­ated with the cos­mic over­con­trol of the Su­preme Be­ing.

29:3.4Power cen­ters and phys­i­cal con­trol­lers un­dergo no train­ing; they are all cre­ated in per­fec­tion and are in­her­ently per­fect in ac­tion. Never do they pass from one func­tion to an­other; al­ways do they serve as orig­i­nally as­signed. There is no evo­lu­tion in their ranks, and this is true of all seven di­vi­sions of both or­ders.

29:3.5Hav­ing no as­cen­dant past to re­vert to in mem­ory, power cen­ters and phys­i­cal con­trol­lers never play; they are thor­oughly busi­nesslike in all their ac­tions. They are al­ways on duty; there is no pro­vi­sion in the uni­ver­sal scheme for the in­ter­rup­tion of the phys­i­cal lines of en­ergy; never for a frac­tion of a sec­ond can these be­ings re­lin­quish their di­rect super­vi­sion of the en­ergy cir­cuits of time and space.

29:3.6The di­rec­tors, cen­ters, and con­trol­lers of power have noth­ing to do with any­thing in all cre­ation ex­cept power, ma­te­rial or semi­phys­i­cal en­ergy; they do not orig­i­nate it, but they do mod­ify, ma­nip­u­late, and di­rec­tion­ize it. Nei­ther do they have any­thing what­ever to do with phys­i­cal grav­ity ex­cept to re­sist its draw­ing power. Their re­la­tion to grav­ity is wholly neg­a­tive.

29:3.7The power cen­ters uti­lize vast mech­a­nisms and co-or­di­na­tions of a ma­te­rial or­der in li­ai­son with the liv­ing mech­a­nisms of the var­i­ous seg­re­gated en­ergy con­cen­tra­tions. Each in­di­vid­ual power cen­ter is con­sti­tuted in ex­actly one mil­lion units of func­tional con­trol, and these en­ergy-mod­i­fy­ing units are not sta­tion­ary as are the vi­tal or­gans of man’s phys­i­cal body; these “vi­tal or­gans” of power reg­u­la­tion are mo­bile and truly kalei­do­scopic in as­so­cia­tive pos­si­bil­i­ties.

29:3.8It is ut­terly be­yond my abil­ity to ex­plain the man­ner in which these liv­ing be­ings en­com­pass the ma­nip­u­la­tion and reg­u­la­tion of the mas­ter cir­cuits of uni­verse en­ergy. To un­der­take to in­form you fur­ther con­cern­ing the size and func­tion of these gi­gan­tic and al­most per­fectly ef­fi­cient power cen­ters, would only add to your con­fu­sion and con­ster­na­tion. They are both liv­ing and “per­sonal,” but they are be­yond your com­pre­hen­sion.

29:3.9Out­side of Ha­vona the Su­preme Power Cen­ters func­tion only on es­pe­cially con­structed (ar­chi­tec­tural) spheres or on oth­er­wise suit­ably con­sti­tuted space bod­ies. The ar­chi­tec­tural worlds are so con­structed that the liv­ing power cen­ters can act as se­lec­tive switches to di­rec­tion­ize, mod­ify, and con­cen­trate the en­er­gies of space as they pour over these spheres. They could not so func­tion on an or­di­nary evo­lu­tion­ary sun or planet. Cer­tain groups are also con­cerned in the heat­ing and other ma­te­rial ne­ces­si­ties of these spe­cial head­quar­ters worlds. And though it is be­yond the scope of Uran­tia knowl­edge, I may state that these or­ders of liv­ing power per­son­al­i­ties have much to do with the dis­tri­bu­tion of the light that shines with­out heat. They do not pro­duce this phe­nom­e­non, but they are con­cerned with its dis­sem­i­na­tion and di­rec­tion­iza­tion.

29:3.10The power cen­ters and their sub­or­di­nate con­trol­lers are as­signed to the work­ing of all of the phys­i­cal en­er­gies of or­ga­nized space. They work with the three ba­sic cur­rents of ten en­er­gies each. That is the en­ergy charge of or­ga­nized space; and or­ga­nized space is their do­main. The Uni­verse Power Di­rec­tors have noth­ing what­ever to do with those tremen­dous ac­tions of force which are now tak­ing place out­side the pres­ent bound­aries of the seven super­uni­verses.

29:3.11The power cen­ters and con­trol­lers ex­ert per­fect con­trol over only seven of the ten forms of en­ergy con­tained in each ba­sic uni­verse cur­rent; those forms which are partly or wholly ex­empt from their con­trol must rep­re­sent the un­pre­dictable realms of en­ergy man­i­fes­ta­tion dom­i­nated by the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute. If they ex­ert an in­flu­ence upon the pri­mor­dial forces of this Ab­so­lute, we are not cog­nizant of such func­tions, though there is some slight ev­i­dence which would war­rant the opin­ion that cer­tain of the phys­i­cal con­trol­lers are some­times au­to­mat­i­cally re­ac­tive to cer­tain im­pulses of the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute.

29:3.12These liv­ing power mech­a­nisms are not con­sciously re­lated to the mas­ter uni­verse en­ergy over­con­trol of the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute, but we sur­mise that their en­tire and al­most per­fect scheme of power di­rec­tion is in some un­known man­ner sub­or­di­nated to this super­grav­ity pres­ence. In any lo­cal en­ergy sit­u­a­tion the cen­ters and con­trol­lers ex­ert near-su­prem­acy, but they are al­ways con­scious of the super­en­ergy pres­ence and the un­rec­og­niz­able per­for­mance of the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute.

29:4.1These be­ings are the mo­bile sub­or­di­nates of the Su­preme Power Cen­ters. The phys­i­cal con­trol­lers are en­dowed with ca­pa­bil­i­ties of in­di­vid­u­al­ity meta­mor­pho­sis of such a na­ture that they can en­gage in a re­mark­able va­ri­ety of au­to­trans­port, be­ing able to tra­verse lo­cal space at ve­loc­i­ties ap­proach­ing the flight of Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers. But like all other space tra­versers they re­quire the as­sis­tance of both their fel­lows and cer­tain other types of be­ings in over­com­ing the ac­tion of grav­ity and the re­sis­tance of in­er­tia in de­part­ing from a ma­te­rial sphere.

29:4.2The Mas­ter Phys­i­cal Con­trol­lers serve through­out the grand uni­verse. They are di­rectly gov­erned from Par­a­dise by the Seven Su­preme Power Di­rec­tors as far as the head­quar­ters of the super­uni­verses; from here they are di­rected and dis­tributed by the Coun­cil of Equi­lib­rium, the high com­mis­sion­ers of power dis­patched by the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its from the per­son­nel of the As­so­ciate Mas­ter Force Or­ga­niz­ers. These high com­mis­sion­ers are em­pow­ered to in­ter­pret the read­ings and reg­is­tra­tions of the mas­ter fran­dalanks, those liv­ing in­stru­ments which in­di­cate the power pres­sure and the en­ergy charge of an en­tire super­uni­verse.

29:4.3While the pres­ence of the Par­a­dise De­i­ties en­cir­cles the grand uni­verse and sweeps around the cir­cle of eter­nity, the in­flu­ence of any one of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its is lim­ited to a sin­gle super­uni­verse. There is a dis­tinct seg­re­ga­tion of en­ergy and a sep­a­ra­tion of the cir­cuits of power be­tween each of the seven super­cre­ations; hence in­di­vid­u­al­ized con­trol meth­ods must and do pre­vail.

29:4.4The Mas­ter Phys­i­cal Con­trol­lers are the di­rect off­spring of the Su­preme Power Cen­ters, and their num­bers in­clude the fol­low­ing:

29:4.51. As­so­ciate Power Di­rec­tors.

29:4.62. Me­chan­i­cal Con­trol­lers.

29:4.73. En­ergy Trans­form­ers.

29:4.84. En­ergy Trans­mit­ters.

29:4.95. Pri­mary As­so­ci­a­tors.

29:4.106. Sec­ondary Dis­so­ci­a­tors.

29:4.117. The Fran­dalanks and Chro­nol­deks.

29:4.12Not all of these or­ders are per­sons in the sense of pos­sess­ing in­di­vid­ual pow­ers of choice. Es­pe­cially do the last four seem to be wholly au­to­matic and me­chan­i­cal in re­sponse to the im­pulses of their su­pe­ri­ors and in re­ac­tion to ex­ist­ing en­ergy con­di­tions. But though such re­sponse ap­pears wholly mech­a­nis­tic, it is not; they may seem to be au­toma­tons, but all of them dis­close the dif­fer­en­tial func­tion of in­tel­li­gence.

29:4.13Per­son­al­ity is not nec­es­sar­ily a con­comi­tant of mind. Mind can think even when de­prived of all power of choice, as in nu­mer­ous of the lower types of an­i­mals and in cer­tain of these sub­or­di­nate phys­i­cal con­trol­lers. Many of these more au­to­matic reg­u­la­tors of phys­i­cal power are not per­sons in any sense of the term. They are not en­dowed with will and in­de­pen­dence of de­ci­sion, be­ing wholly sub­servient to the me­chan­i­cal per­fec­tion of de­sign for the tasks of their al­lot­ment. Nonethe­less all of them are highly in­tel­li­gent be­ings.

29:4.14The phys­i­cal con­trol­lers are chiefly oc­cu­pied in the ad­just­ment of ba­sic en­er­gies undis­cov­ered on Uran­tia. These un­known en­er­gies are very es­sen­tial to the in­ter­plan­e­tary sys­tem of trans­port and to cer­tain tech­niques of com­mu­ni­ca­tion. When we lay lines of en­ergy for the pur­pose of con­vey­ing sound equiv­a­lents or of ex­tend­ing vi­sion, these undis­cov­ered forms of en­ergy are uti­lized by the liv­ing phys­i­cal con­trol­lers and their as­so­ciates. These same en­er­gies are also, on oc­ca­sion, used by the mid­way crea­tures in their rou­tine work.

29:4.151. As­so­ciate Power Di­rec­tors. These mar­velously ef­fi­cient be­ings are in­trusted with the as­sign­ment and dis­patch of all or­ders of the Mas­ter Phys­i­cal Con­trol­lers in ac­cor­dance with the ever-shift­ing needs of the con­stantly chang­ing en­ergy sta­tus of the realms. The vast re­serves of the phys­i­cal con­trol­lers are main­tained on the head­quar­ters worlds of the mi­nor sec­tors, and from these con­cen­tra­tion points they are pe­ri­od­i­cally dis­patched by the as­so­ciate power di­rec­tors to the head­quar­ters of the uni­verses, con­stel­la­tions, and sys­tems, and to the in­di­vid­ual plan­ets. When thus as­signed, the phys­i­cal con­trol­lers are pro­vi­sion­ally sub­ject to the or­ders of the di­vine ex­e­cu­tion­ers of the con­cil­i­at­ing com­mis­sions but are oth­er­wise solely amenable to their as­so­ciate di­rec­tors and to the Su­preme Power Cen­ters.

29:4.16Three mil­lion as­so­ciate power di­rec­tors are as­signed to each of the Or­von­ton mi­nor sec­tors, mak­ing a to­tal of three bil­lion as the super­uni­verse quota of these amaz­ingly ver­sa­tile be­ings. Their own re­serves are main­tained on these same mi­nor sec­tor worlds, where they also serve as in­struc­tors of all who study the sci­ences of the tech­niques of in­tel­li­gent en­ergy con­trol and trans­mu­ta­tion.

29:4.17These di­rec­tors al­ter­nate pe­ri­ods of ex­ec­u­tive ser­vice in the mi­nor sec­tors with equal pe­ri­ods of in­spec­tion ser­vice to the realms of space. At least one act­ing in­spec­tor is al­ways pres­ent in each lo­cal sys­tem, main­tain­ing head­quar­ters on its cap­i­tal sphere. They keep the whole vast liv­ing en­ergy ag­gre­ga­tion in har­mo­nious syn­chrony.

29:4.182. Me­chan­i­cal Con­trol­lers. These are the ex­ceed­ingly ver­sa­tile and mo­bile as­sis­tants of the as­so­ciate power di­rec­tors. Tril­lions upon tril­lions of them are com­mis­sioned in Ensa, your mi­nor sec­tor. These be­ings are called me­chan­i­cal con­trol­lers be­cause they are so com­pletely dom­i­nated by their su­pe­ri­ors, so fully sub­servient to the will of the as­so­ciate power di­rec­tors. Nev­er­the­less they are, them­selves, very in­tel­li­gent, and their work, though me­chan­i­cal and mat­ter-of-fact in na­ture, is skill­fully per­formed.

29:4.19Of all the Mas­ter Phys­i­cal Con­trol­lers as­signed to the in­hab­ited worlds, the me­chan­i­cal con­trol­lers are by far the most pow­er­ful. Pos­sess­ing the liv­ing en­dow­ment of anti­grav­ity in ex­cess of all other be­ings, each con­trol­ler has a grav­ity re­sis­tance equaled only by enor­mous spheres re­volv­ing at tremen­dous ve­loc­ity. Ten of these con­trol­lers are now sta­tioned on Uran­tia, and one of their most im­por­tant plan­e­tary ac­tiv­i­ties is to fa­cil­i­tate the de­par­ture of se­raphic trans­ports. In so func­tion­ing, all ten of the me­chan­i­cal con­trol­lers act in uni­son while a bat­tery of one thou­sand en­ergy trans­mit­ters pro­vides the ini­tial mo­men­tum for the se­raphic de­par­ture.

29:4.20The me­chan­i­cal con­trol­lers are com­pe­tent to di­rec­tion­ize the flow of en­ergy and to fa­cil­i­tate its con­cen­tra­tion into the spe­cial­ized cur­rents or cir­cuits. These mighty be­ings have much to do with the seg­re­ga­tion, di­rec­tion­iza­tion, and in­ten­si­fi­ca­tion of the phys­i­cal en­er­gies and with the equal­iza­tion of the pres­sures of the in­ter­plan­e­tary cir­cuits. They are ex­pert in the ma­nip­u­la­tion of twenty-one of the thirty phys­i­cal en­er­gies of space, con­sti­tut­ing the power charge of a super­uni­verse. They are also able to ac­com­plish much to­wards the man­age­ment and con­trol of six of the nine more sub­tle forms of phys­i­cal en­ergy. By plac­ing these con­trol­lers in proper tech­ni­cal re­la­tion­ship to each other and to cer­tain of the power cen­ters, the as­so­ciate power di­rec­tors are en­abled to ef­fect un­be­liev­able changes in power ad­just­ment and en­ergy con­trol.

29:4.21The Mas­ter Phys­i­cal Con­trol­lers of­ten func­tion in bat­ter­ies of hun­dreds, thou­sands, and even mil­lions and by vary­ing their po­si­tions and for­ma­tions are able to ef­fect en­ergy con­trol in a col­lec­tive as well as an in­di­vid­ual ca­pac­ity. As re­quire­ments vary, they can up­step and ac­cel­er­ate the en­ergy vol­ume and move­ment or de­tain, con­dense, and re­tard the en­ergy cur­rents. They in­flu­ence en­ergy and power trans­for­ma­tions some­what as so-called cat­alytic agents aug­ment chem­i­cal re­ac­tions. They func­tion by in­her­ent abil­ity and in co-op­er­a­tion with the Su­preme Power Cen­ters.

29:4.223. En­ergy Trans­form­ers. The num­ber of these be­ings in a super­uni­verse is un­be­liev­able. There are al­most one mil­lion in Sa­ta­nia alone, and the usual quota is one hun­dred for each in­hab­ited world.

29:4.23The en­ergy trans­form­ers are the con­joint cre­ation of the Seven Su­preme Power Di­rec­tors and the Seven Cen­ter Super­vi­sors. They are among the more per­sonal or­ders of phys­i­cal con­trol­lers, and ex­cept when an as­so­ciate power di­rec­tor is pres­ent on an in­hab­ited world, the trans­form­ers are in com­mand. They are the plan­e­tary in­spec­tors of all de­part­ing se­raphic trans­ports. All classes of ce­les­tial life can uti­lize the less per­sonal or­ders of the phys­i­cal con­trol­lers only by li­ai­son with the more per­sonal or­ders of the as­so­ciate di­rec­tors and the en­ergy trans­form­ers.

29:4.24These trans­form­ers are pow­er­ful and ef­fec­tive liv­ing switches, be­ing able to dis­pose them­selves for or against a given power dis­po­si­tion or di­rec­tion­iza­tion. They are also skill­ful in their ef­forts to in­su­late the plan­ets against the pow­er­ful en­ergy streams pass­ing be­tween gi­gan­tic plan­e­tary and starry neigh­bors. Their en­ergy-trans­mu­tive at­tri­butes ren­der them most ser­vice­able in the im­por­tant task of main­tain­ing uni­ver­sal en­ergy bal­ance, or power equi­lib­rium. At one time they seem to con­sume or store en­ergy; at other times they ap­pear to ex­ude or lib­er­ate en­ergy. The trans­form­ers are able to in­crease or to di­min­ish the “stor­age-bat­tery” po­ten­tial of the liv­ing and dead en­er­gies of their re­spec­tive realms. But they deal only with phys­i­cal and semi­ma­te­rial en­er­gies, they do not di­rectly func­tion in the do­main of life, nei­ther do they change the forms of liv­ing be­ings.

29:4.25In some re­spects the en­ergy trans­form­ers are the most re­mark­able and mys­te­ri­ous of all semi­ma­te­rial liv­ing crea­tures. They are in some un­known man­ner phys­i­cally dif­fer­en­ti­ated, and by vary­ing their li­ai­son re­la­tion­ships, they are able to ex­ert a pro­found in­flu­ence upon the en­ergy which passes through their as­so­ci­ated pres­ences. The sta­tus of the phys­i­cal realms seems to un­dergo a trans­for­ma­tion un­der their skill­ful ma­nip­u­la­tion. They can and do change the phys­i­cal form of the en­er­gies of space. With the aid of their fel­low con­trol­lers they are ac­tu­ally able to change the form and po­ten­tial of twenty-seven of the thirty phys­i­cal en­er­gies of the super­uni­verse power charge. That three of these en­er­gies are be­yond their con­trol proves that they are not in­stru­men­tal­i­ties of the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute.

29:4.26The re­main­ing four groups of the Mas­ter Phys­i­cal Con­trol­lers are hardly per­sons within any ac­cept­able def­i­ni­tion of that word. These trans­mit­ters, as­so­ci­a­tors, dis­so­ci­a­tors, and fran­dalanks are wholly au­to­matic in their re­ac­tions; nev­er­the­less they are in ev­ery sense in­tel­li­gent. We are greatly lim­ited in our knowl­edge of these won­der­ful en­ti­ties be­cause we can­not com­mu­ni­cate with them. They ap­pear to un­der­stand the lan­guage of the realm, but they can­not com­mu­ni­cate with us. They seem fully able to re­ceive our com­mu­ni­ca­tions but quite pow­er­less to make re­sponse.

29:4.274. En­ergy Trans­mit­ters. These be­ings func­tion chiefly, but not wholly, in an in­tra­plan­e­tary ca­pac­ity. They are mar­velous dis­patch­ers of en­ergy as it is man­i­fested on the in­di­vid­ual worlds.

29:4.28When en­ergy is to be di­verted to a new cir­cuit, the trans­mit­ters de­ploy them­selves in a line along the de­sired en­ergy path, and by virtue of their unique at­tri­butes of en­ergy-at­trac­tion, they can ac­tu­ally in­duce an in­creased en­ergy flow in the de­sired di­rec­tion. This they do just as lit­er­ally as cer­tain metal­lic cir­cuits di­rec­tion­ize the flow of cer­tain forms of elec­tric en­ergy; and they are liv­ing super­con­duc­tors for more than half of the thirty forms of phys­i­cal en­ergy.

29:4.29Trans­mit­ters form skill­ful li­aisons which are ef­fec­tive in re­ha­bil­i­tat­ing the weak­en­ing cur­rents of spe­cial­ized en­ergy pass­ing from planet to planet and from sta­tion to sta­tion on an in­di­vid­ual planet. They can de­tect cur­rents which are much too fee­ble to be rec­og­nized by any other type of liv­ing be­ing, and they can so aug­ment these en­er­gies that the ac­com­pa­ny­ing mes­sage be­comes per­fectly in­tel­li­gi­ble. Their ser­vices are in­valu­able to the broad­cast re­ceivers.

29:4.30En­ergy trans­mit­ters can func­tion with re­gard to all forms of com­mu­ni­ca­ble per­cep­tion; they can ren­der a dis­tant scene “vis­i­ble” as well as a dis­tant sound “au­di­ble.” They pro­vide the emer­gency lines of com­mu­ni­ca­tion in the lo­cal sys­tems and on the in­di­vid­ual plan­ets. These ser­vices must be used by prac­ti­cally all crea­tures for pur­poses of com­mu­ni­ca­tion out­side of the reg­u­larly es­tab­lished cir­cuits.

29:4.31These be­ings, to­gether with the en­ergy trans­form­ers, are in­dis­pens­able to the main­te­nance of mor­tal ex­is­tence on those worlds hav­ing an im­pov­er­ished at­mo­sphere, and they are an in­te­gral part of the tech­nique of life on the non­breath­ing plan­ets.

29:4.325. Pri­mary As­so­ci­a­tors. These in­ter­est­ing and in­valu­able en­ti­ties are mas­terly en­ergy con­ser­va­tors and cus­to­di­ans. Some­what as a plant stores so­lar light, so do these liv­ing or­gan­isms store en­ergy dur­ing times of plus man­i­fes­ta­tions. They work on a gi­gan­tic scale, con­vert­ing the en­er­gies of space into a phys­i­cal state not known on Uran­tia. They are also able to carry for­ward these trans­for­ma­tions to the point of pro­duc­ing some of the prim­i­tive units of ma­te­rial ex­is­tence. These be­ings sim­ply act by their pres­ence. They are in no way ex­hausted or de­pleted by this func­tion; they act like liv­ing cat­alytic agents.

29:4.33Dur­ing sea­sons of mi­nus man­i­fes­ta­tions they are em­pow­ered to re­lease these ac­cu­mu­lated en­er­gies. But your knowl­edge of en­ergy and mat­ter is not suf­fi­ciently ad­vanced to make it pos­si­ble to ex­plain the tech­nique of this phase of their work. They al­ways la­bor in com­pli­ance with uni­ver­sal law, han­dling and ma­nip­u­lat­ing atoms, elec­trons, and ul­ti­ma­tons much as you ma­neu­ver ad­justable type to make the same al­pha­bet­i­cal sym­bols tell vastly dif­fer­ent sto­ries.

29:4.34The as­so­ci­a­tors are the first group of life to ap­pear on an or­ga­niz­ing ma­te­rial sphere, and they can func­tion at phys­i­cal tem­per­a­tures which you would re­gard as ut­terly in­com­pat­i­ble with the ex­is­tence of liv­ing be­ings. They rep­re­sent an or­der of life which is sim­ply be­yond the range of hu­man imag­i­na­tion. To­gether with their co-work­ers, the dis­so­ci­a­tors, they are the most slav­ish of all in­tel­li­gent crea­tures.

29:4.356. Sec­ondary Dis­so­ci­a­tors. Com­pared with the pri­mary as­so­ci­a­tors, these be­ings of enor­mous anti­grav­ity en­dow­ment are the re­verse work­ers. There is never any dan­ger that the spe­cial or mod­i­fied forms of phys­i­cal en­ergy on the lo­cal worlds or in the lo­cal sys­tems will be ex­hausted, for these liv­ing or­ga­ni­za­tions are en­dowed with the unique power of evolv­ing lim­it­less sup­plies of en­ergy. They are chiefly con­cerned with the evo­lu­tion of a form of en­ergy which is hardly known on Uran­tia from a form of mat­ter which is rec­og­nized still less. They are truly the al­chemists of space and the won­der-work­ers of time. But in all the won­ders they work, they never transgress the man­dates of Cos­mic Su­prem­acy.

• created frandalanks with Master Force Organizers

29:4.367. The Fran­dalanks. These be­ings are the joint cre­ation of all three or­ders of en­ergy-con­trol be­ings: the pri­mary and sec­ondary force or­ga­niz­ers and the power di­rec­tors. Fran­dalanks are the most nu­mer­ous of all the Mas­ter Phys­i­cal Con­trol­lers; the num­ber func­tion­ing in Sa­ta­nia alone is be­yond your nu­mer­i­cal con­cept. They are sta­tioned on all in­hab­ited worlds and are al­ways at­tached to the higher or­ders of phys­i­cal con­trol­lers. They func­tion in­ter­change­ably in the cen­tral and super­uni­verses and in the do­mains of outer space.

29:4.37The fran­dalanks are cre­ated in thirty di­vi­sions, one for each form of ba­sic uni­verse force, and they func­tion ex­clu­sively as liv­ing and au­to­matic pres­ence, pres­sure, and ve­loc­ity gauges. These liv­ing barom­e­ters are solely con­cerned with the au­to­matic and unerring reg­is­tra­tion of the sta­tus of all forms of force-en­ergy. They are to the phys­i­cal uni­verse what the vast re­flec­tiv­ity mech­a­nism is to the minded uni­verse. The fran­dalanks that reg­is­ter time in ad­di­tion to quan­ti­ta­tive and qual­i­ta­tive en­ergy pres­ence are called chro­nol­deks.

29:4.38I rec­og­nize that the fran­dalanks are in­tel­li­gent, but I can­not clas­sify them as other than liv­ing ma­chines. About the only way I can help you to un­der­stand these liv­ing mech­a­nisms is to com­pare them to your own me­chan­i­cal con­trivances which per­form with al­most in­tel­li­gent­like pre­ci­sion and ac­cu­racy. Then if you would con­ceive of these be­ings, draw upon your imag­i­na­tion to the ex­tent of rec­og­niz­ing that in the grand uni­verse we ac­tu­ally have in­tel­li­gent and liv­ing mech­a­nisms (en­ti­ties) that can per­form more in­tri­cate tasks in­volv­ing more stu­pen­dous com­pu­ta­tions with even greater del­i­cacy of ac­cu­racy, even with ul­ti­macy of pre­ci­sion.

31:9.12The Ar­chi­tects of the Mas­ter Uni­verse have at their dis­posal nu­mer­ous groups of as­sis­tants and helpers, in­clud­ing two vast or­ders of force or­ga­niz­ers, the pri­mary even­tu­ated and the as­so­ciate tran­scen­den­tal. These Mas­ter Force Or­ga­niz­ers are not to be con­fused with the power di­rec­tors, who are ger­mane to the grand uni­verse.

• work › manipulate gravity-responding energy

32:1.1The pre­uni­verse ma­nip­u­la­tions of space-force and the pri­mor­dial en­er­gies are the work of the Par­a­dise Mas­ter Force Or­ga­niz­ers; but in the super­uni­verse do­mains, when emer­gent en­ergy be­comes re­spon­sive to lo­cal or lin­ear grav­ity, they re­tire in fa­vor of the power di­rec­tors of the super­uni­verse con­cerned.

• work › create literal suns and material spheres

32:1.2These power di­rec­tors func­tion alone in the pre­ma­te­rial and post­force phases of a lo­cal uni­verse cre­ation. There is no op­por­tu­nity for a Cre­ator Son to be­gin uni­verse or­ga­ni­za­tion un­til the power di­rec­tors have ef­fected the mo­bi­liza­tion of the space-en­er­gies suf­fi­ciently to pro­vide a ma­te­rial foun­da­tion—lit­eral suns and ma­te­rial spheres—for the emerg­ing uni­verse.

32:2.1The Cre­ator Sons are pre­ceded in uni­verse or­ga­ni­za­tion by the power di­rec­tors and other be­ings orig­i­nat­ing in the Third Source and Cen­ter. From the en­er­gies of space, thus pre­vi­ously or­ga­nized, Mi­chael, your Cre­ator Son, es­tab­lished the in­hab­ited realms of the uni­verse of Neb­a­don and ever since has been painstak­ingly de­voted to their ad­min­is­tra­tion. From pre-ex­is­tent en­ergy these di­vine Sons ma­te­ri­al­ize vis­i­ble mat­ter, project liv­ing crea­tures, and with the co-op­er­a­tion of the uni­verse pres­ence of the In­fi­nite Spirit, cre­ate a di­verse ret­inue of spirit per­son­al­i­ties.

38:7.5When as­signed to a planet, cheru­bim en­ter the lo­cal courses of train­ing, in­clud­ing a study of plan­e­tary us­ages and lan­guages. The min­is­ter­ing spir­its of time are all bilin­gual, speak­ing the lan­guage of the lo­cal uni­verse of their ori­gin and that of their na­tive super­uni­verse. By study in the schools of the realms they ac­quire ad­di­tional tongues. Cheru­bim and sa­no­bim, like ser­a­phim and all other or­ders of spirit be­ings, are con­tin­u­ously en­gaged in ef­forts at self-im­prove­ment. Only such as the sub­or­di­nate be­ings of power con­trol and en­ergy di­rec­tion are in­ca­pable of pro­gres­sion; all crea­tures hav­ing ac­tual or po­ten­tial per­son­al­ity vo­li­tion seek new achieve­ments.

• work › initiate specialized currents which play between stars and their systems

41:3.1There are up­ward of two thou­sand bril­liant suns pour­ing forth light and en­ergy in Sa­ta­nia, and your own sun is an av­er­age blaz­ing orb. Of the thirty suns near­est yours, only three are brighter. The Uni­verse Power Di­rec­tors ini­ti­ate the spe­cial­ized cur­rents of en­ergy which play be­tween the in­di­vid­ual stars and their re­spec­tive sys­tems. These so­lar fur­naces, to­gether with the dark gi­ants of space, serve the power cen­ters and phys­i­cal con­trol­lers as way sta­tions for the ef­fec­tive con­cen­trat­ing and di­rec­tion­iz­ing of the en­ergy cir­cuits of the ma­te­rial cre­ations.

• work › assume control upon appearance of linear gravity response and retirement of Master Force Organizers
• work › cause energy to segment, organize, or assemble by their presence

42:1.5The cre­ation of en­ergy and the be­stowal of life are the pre­rog­a­tives of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther and his as­so­ciate Cre­ator per­son­al­i­ties. The river of en­ergy and life is a con­tin­u­ous out­pour­ing from the De­i­ties, the uni­ver­sal and united stream of Par­a­dise force go­ing forth to all space. This di­vine en­ergy per­vades all cre­ation. The force or­ga­niz­ers ini­ti­ate those changes and in­sti­tute those mod­i­fi­ca­tions of space-force which even­tu­ate in en­ergy; the power di­rec­tors trans­mute en­ergy into mat­ter; thus the ma­te­rial worlds are born. The Life Car­ri­ers ini­ti­ate those pro­cesses in dead mat­ter which we call life, ma­te­rial life. The Mor­ontia Power Super­vi­sors like­wise per­form through­out the tran­si­tion realms be­tween the ma­te­rial and the spir­i­tual worlds. The higher spirit Cre­ators in­au­gu­rate sim­i­lar pro­cesses in di­vine forms of en­ergy, and there en­sue the higher spirit forms of in­tel­li­gent life.

• work › assume control upon appearance of linear gravity response and retirement of Master Force Organizers

42:2.11a. Puis­sant en­ergy. This is the pow­er­ful-di­rec­tional, mass-move­mented, mighty-ten­sioned, and forcible-re­act­ing en­ergy—gi­gan­tic en­ergy sys­tems set in mo­tion by the ac­tiv­i­ties of the pri­mary force or­ga­niz­ers. This pri­mary or puis­sant en­ergy is not at first def­i­nitely re­spon­sive to the Par­a­dise-grav­ity pull though prob­a­bly yield­ing an ag­gre­gate-mass or space-di­rec­tional re­sponse to the col­lec­tive group of ab­so­lute in­flu­ences op­er­a­tive from the nether side of Par­a­dise. When en­ergy emerges to the level of ini­tial re­sponse to the cir­cu­lar and ab­so­lute-grav­ity grasp of Par­a­dise, the pri­mary force or­ga­niz­ers give way to the func­tion­ing of their sec­ondary as­so­ciates.

• work › manipulate gravity-responding energy

42:2.12b. Grav­ity en­ergy. The now-ap­pear­ing grav­ity-re­spond­ing en­ergy car­ries the po­ten­tial of uni­verse power and be­comes the ac­tive an­ces­tor of all uni­verse mat­ter. This sec­ondary or grav­ity en­ergy is the prod­uct of the en­ergy elab­o­ra­tion re­sult­ing from the pres­sure-pres­ence and the ten­sion-trends set up by the As­so­ciate Tran­scen­den­tal Mas­ter Force Or­ga­niz­ers. In re­sponse to the work of these force ma­nip­u­la­tors, space-en­ergy rapidly passes from the puis­sant to the grav­ity stage, thus be­com­ing di­rectly re­spon­sive to the cir­cu­lar grasp of Par­a­dise (ab­so­lute) grav­ity while dis­clos­ing a cer­tain po­ten­tial for sen­si­tiv­ity to the lin­ear-grav­ity pull in­her­ent in the soon ap­pear­ing ma­te­rial mass of the elec­tronic and the post­elec­tronic stages of en­ergy and mat­ter. Upon the ap­pear­ance of grav­ity re­sponse, the As­so­ciate Mas­ter Force Or­ga­niz­ers may re­tire from the en­ergy cy­clones of space pro­vided the Uni­verse Power Di­rec­tors are assignable to that field of ac­tion.

• work › manipulate gravity-responding energy
• work › regulators of 21 of 30 basic energies in grand universe

42:2.144. Uni­verse power. Space-force has been changed into space-en­ergy and thence into the en­ergy of grav­ity con­trol. Thus has phys­i­cal en­ergy been ripened to that point where it can be di­rected into chan­nels of power and made to serve the man­i­fold pur­poses of the uni­verse Cre­ators. This work is car­ried on by the ver­sa­tile di­rec­tors, cen­ters, and con­trol­lers of phys­i­cal en­ergy in the grand uni­verse—the or­ga­nized and in­hab­ited cre­ations. These Uni­verse Power Di­rec­tors as­sume the more or less com­plete con­trol of twenty-one of the thirty phases of en­ergy con­sti­tut­ing the pres­ent en­ergy sys­tem of the seven super­uni­verses. This do­main of power-en­ergy-mat­ter is the realm of the in­tel­li­gent ac­tiv­i­ties of the Sev­en­fold, func­tion­ing un­der the time-space over­con­trol of the Su­preme.

• work › cause energy to segment, organize, or assemble by their presence
• work › manipulate gravity-responding energy

42:2.22These power di­rec­tors them­selves are en­ergy cat­alyz­ers; that is, they cause en­ergy to seg­ment, or­ga­nize, or as­sem­ble in unit for­ma­tion by their pres­ence. And all this im­plies that there must be some­thing in­her­ent in en­ergy which causes it thus to func­tion in the pres­ence of these power en­ti­ties. The Neb­a­don Mel­chiz­e­deks long since de­nom­i­nated the phe­nom­e­non of the trans­mu­ta­tion of cos­mic force into uni­verse power as one of the seven “in­fini­ties of di­vin­ity.” And that is as far as you will ad­vance on this point dur­ing your lo­cal uni­verse as­cen­sion.

• work › transmute puissant energy into ultimatons and back into puissant energy

42:6.3Ul­ti­ma­tons func­tion by mu­tual at­trac­tion, re­spond­ing only to the cir­cu­lar Par­a­dise-grav­ity pull. With­out lin­ear-grav­ity re­sponse they are thus held in the uni­ver­sal space drift. Ul­ti­ma­tons are ca­pa­ble of ac­cel­er­at­ing rev­o­lu­tion­ary ve­loc­ity to the point of par­tial anti­grav­ity be­hav­ior, but they can­not, in­de­pen­dent of force or­ga­niz­ers or power di­rec­tors, at­tain the crit­i­cal es­cape ve­loc­ity of dein­di­vid­u­a­tion, re­turn to the puis­sant-en­ergy stage. In na­ture, ul­ti­ma­tons es­cape the sta­tus of phys­i­cal ex­is­tence only when par­tic­i­pat­ing in the ter­mi­nal dis­rup­tion of a cooled-off and dy­ing sun.

44:5.21. Phys­i­cal-en­ergy ma­nip­u­la­tors. The phys­i­cal-en­ergy ma­nip­u­la­tors serve for long pe­ri­ods with the power di­rec­tors and are ex­perts in the ma­nip­u­la­tion and con­trol of many phases of phys­i­cal en­ergy. They are con­ver­sant with the three ba­sic cur­rents and the thirty sub­sidiary en­ergy seg­re­ga­tions of the super­uni­verses. These be­ings are of in­es­timable as­sis­tance to the Mor­ontia Power Super­vi­sors of the tran­si­tion worlds. They are the per­sis­tent stu­dents of the cos­mic pro­jec­tions of Par­a­dise.

48:2.1These unique be­ings are ex­clu­sively con­cerned with the super­vi­sion of those ac­tiv­i­ties which rep­re­sent a work­ing com­bi­na­tion of spir­i­tual and phys­i­cal or semi­ma­te­rial en­er­gies. They are ex­clu­sively de­voted to the min­istry of mor­ontia pro­gres­sion. Not that they so much min­is­ter to mor­tals dur­ing the tran­si­tion ex­pe­ri­ence, but they rather make pos­si­ble the tran­si­tion en­vi­ron­ment for the pro­gress­ing mor­ontia crea­tures. They are the chan­nels of mor­ontia power which sus­tain and en­er­gize the mor­ontia phases of the tran­si­tion worlds.

48:2.2Mor­ontia Power Super­vi­sors are the off­spring of a lo­cal uni­verse Mother Spirit. They are fairly stan­dard in de­sign though dif­fer­ing slightly in na­ture in the var­i­ous lo­cal cre­ations. They are cre­ated for their spe­cific func­tion and re­quire no train­ing be­fore en­ter­ing upon their re­spon­si­bil­i­ties.

48:2.3The cre­ation of the first Mor­ontia Power Super­vi­sors is si­mul­ta­ne­ous with the ar­rival of the first mor­tal sur­vivor on the shores of some one of the first man­sion worlds in a lo­cal uni­verse. They are cre­ated in groups of one thou­sand, clas­si­fied as fol­lows:

48:2.41. Cir­cuit Reg­u­la­tors 400

48:2.52. Sys­tem Co-or­di­na­tors 200

48:2.63. Plan­e­tary Cus­to­di­ans 100

48:2.74. Com­bined Con­trol­lers 100

48:2.85. Li­ai­son Sta­bi­liz­ers 100

48:2.96. Se­lec­tive As­sorters 50

48:2.107. As­so­ciate Reg­is­trars 50

48:2.11The power super­vi­sors al­ways serve in their na­tive uni­verse. They are di­rected ex­clu­sively by the joint spirit ac­tiv­ity of the Uni­verse Son and the Uni­verse Spirit but are oth­er­wise a wholly self-gov­ern­ing group. They main­tain head­quar­ters on each of the first man­sion worlds of the lo­cal sys­tems, where they work in close as­so­ci­a­tion with both the phys­i­cal con­trol­lers and the ser­a­phim but func­tion in a world of their own as re­gards en­ergy man­i­fes­ta­tion and spirit ap­pli­ca­tion.

48:2.12They also some­times work in con­nec­tion with super­ma­te­rial phe­nom­ena on the evo­lu­tion­ary worlds as min­is­ters of tem­po­rary as­sign­ment. But they rarely serve on the in­hab­ited plan­ets; nei­ther do they work on the higher train­ing worlds of the super­uni­verse, be­ing chiefly de­voted to the tran­si­tion regime of mor­ontia pro­gres­sion in a lo­cal uni­verse.

48:2.131. Cir­cuit Reg­u­la­tors. These are the unique be­ings who co-or­di­nate phys­i­cal and spir­i­tual en­ergy and reg­u­late its flow into the seg­re­gated chan­nels of the mor­ontia spheres, and these cir­cuits are ex­clu­sively plan­e­tary, lim­ited to a sin­gle world. The mor­ontia cir­cuits are dis­tinct from, and sup­ple­men­tary to, both phys­i­cal and spir­i­tual cir­cuits on the tran­si­tion worlds, and it re­quires mil­lions of these reg­u­la­tors to en­er­gize even a sys­tem of man­sion worlds like that of Sa­ta­nia.

48:2.14Cir­cuit reg­u­la­tors ini­ti­ate those changes in ma­te­rial en­er­gies which ren­der them sub­ject to the con­trol and reg­u­la­tion of their as­so­ciates. These be­ings are mor­ontia power gen­er­a­tors as well as cir­cuit reg­u­la­tors. Much as a dy­namo ap­par­ently gen­er­ates elec­tric­ity out of the at­mo­sphere, so do these liv­ing mor­ontia dy­namos seem to trans­form the ev­ery­where en­er­gies of space into those ma­te­ri­als which the mor­ontia super­vi­sors weave into the bod­ies and life ac­tiv­i­ties of the as­cend­ing mor­tals.

48:2.152. Sys­tem Co-or­di­na­tors. Since each mor­ontia world has a sep­a­rate or­der of mor­ontia en­ergy, it is ex­ceed­ingly dif­fi­cult for hu­mans to vi­su­al­ize these spheres. But on each suc­ces­sive tran­si­tion sphere, mor­tals will find the plant life and ev­ery­thing else per­tain­ing to the mor­ontia ex­is­tence pro­gres­sively mod­i­fied to cor­re­spond with the ad­vanc­ing spir­i­ti­za­tion of the as­cend­ing sur­vivor. And since the en­ergy sys­tem of each world is thus in­di­vid­u­al­ized, these co-or­di­na­tors op­er­ate to har­mo­nize and blend such dif­fer­ing power sys­tems into a work­ing unit for the as­so­ci­ated spheres of any par­tic­u­lar group.

48:2.16As­cend­ing mor­tals grad­u­ally pro­gress from the phys­i­cal to the spir­i­tual as they ad­vance from one mor­ontia world to an­other; hence the ne­ces­sity for pro­vid­ing an as­cend­ing scale of mor­ontia spheres and an as­cend­ing scale of mor­ontia forms.

48:2.17When man­sion world as­cend­ers pass from one sphere to an­other, they are de­liv­ered by the trans­port ser­a­phim to the re­ceivers of the sys­tem co-or­di­na­tors on the ad­vanced world. Here in those unique tem­ples at the cen­ter of the sev­enty ra­di­at­ing wings wherein are the cham­bers of tran­si­tion sim­i­lar to the res­ur­rec­tion halls on the ini­tial world of re­cep­tion for earth-ori­gin mor­tals, the nec­es­sary changes in crea­ture form are skill­fully ef­fected by the sys­tem co-or­di­na­tors. These early mor­ontia-form changes re­quire about seven days of stan­dard time for their ac­com­plish­ment.

48:2.183. Plan­e­tary Cus­to­di­ans. Each mor­ontia world, from the man­sion spheres up to the uni­verse head­quar­ters, is in the cus­tody—as re­gards mor­ontia af­fairs—of sev­enty guard­i­ans. They con­sti­tute the lo­cal plan­e­tary coun­cil of su­preme mor­ontia au­thor­ity. This coun­cil grants ma­te­rial for mor­ontia forms to all as­cend­ing crea­tures who land on the spheres and au­tho­rizes those changes in crea­ture form which make it pos­si­ble for an as­cender to pro­ceed to the suc­ceed­ing sphere. Af­ter the man­sion worlds have been tra­versed, you will trans­late from one phase of mor­ontia life to an­other with­out hav­ing to sur­ren­der con­scious­ness. Un­con­scious­ness at­tends only the ear­lier meta­mor­phoses and the later tran­si­tions from one uni­verse to an­other and from Ha­vona to Par­a­dise.

48:2.194. Com­bined Con­trol­lers. One of these highly me­chan­i­cal be­ings is al­ways sta­tioned at the cen­ter of each ad­min­is­tra­tive unit of a mor­ontia world. A com­bined con­trol­ler is sen­si­tive to, and func­tional with, phys­i­cal, spir­i­tual, and mor­ontial en­er­gies; and with this be­ing there are al­ways as­so­ci­ated two sys­tem co-or­di­na­tors, four cir­cuit reg­u­la­tors, one plan­e­tary cus­to­dian, one li­ai­son sta­bi­lizer, and ei­ther an as­so­ciate reg­is­trar or a se­lec­tive as­sorter.

48:2.205. Li­ai­son Sta­bi­liz­ers. These are the reg­u­la­tors of the mor­ontia en­ergy in as­so­ci­a­tion with the phys­i­cal and spirit forces of the realm. They make pos­si­ble the con­ver­sion of mor­ontia en­ergy into mor­ontia ma­te­rial. The whole mor­ontia or­ga­ni­za­tion of ex­is­tence is de­pen­dent on the sta­bi­liz­ers. They slow down the en­ergy rev­o­lu­tions to that point where phys­i­cal­iza­tion can oc­cur. But I have no terms with which I can com­pare or il­lus­trate the min­istry of such be­ings. It is quite be­yond hu­man imag­i­na­tion.

48:2.216. Se­lec­tive As­sorters. As you pro­gress from one class or phase of a mor­ontia world to an­other, you must be re-keyed or ad­vance-tuned, and it is the task of the se­lec­tive as­sorters to keep you in pro­gres­sive syn­chrony with the mor­ontia life.

48:2.22While the ba­sic mor­ontia forms of life and mat­ter are iden­ti­cal from the first man­sion world to the last uni­verse tran­si­tion sphere, there is a func­tional pro­gres­sion which grad­u­ally ex­tends from the ma­te­rial to the spir­i­tual. Your adap­ta­tion to this ba­si­cally uni­form but suc­ces­sively ad­vanc­ing and spir­i­tiz­ing cre­ation is ef­fected by this se­lec­tive re-key­ing. Such an ad­just­ment in the mech­a­nism of per­son­al­ity is tan­ta­mount to a new cre­ation, not­with­stand­ing that you re­tain the same mor­ontia form.

48:2.23You may re­peat­edly sub­ject your­self to the test of these ex­am­in­ers, and as soon as you reg­is­ter ad­e­quate spir­i­tual achieve­ment, they will gladly cer­tify you for ad­vanced stand­ing. These pro­gres­sive changes re­sult in al­tered re­ac­tions to the mor­ontia en­vi­ron­ment, such as mod­i­fi­ca­tions in food re­quire­ments and nu­mer­ous other per­sonal prac­tices.

48:2.24The se­lec­tive as­sorters are also of great ser­vice in the group­ing of mor­ontia per­son­al­i­ties for pur­poses of study, teach­ing, and other projects. They nat­u­rally in­di­cate those who will best func­tion in tem­po­rary as­so­ci­a­tion.

48:2.257. As­so­ciate Reg­is­trars. The mor­ontia world has its own re­cord­ers, who serve in as­so­ci­a­tion with the spirit re­cord­ers in the super­vi­sion and cus­tody of the rec­ords and other data in­dige­nous to the mor­ontia cre­ations. The mor­ontia rec­ords are avail­able to all or­ders of per­son­al­i­ties.

48:2.26All mor­ontia tran­si­tion realms are ac­ces­si­ble alike to ma­te­rial and spirit be­ings. As mor­ontia pro­gres­sors you will re­main in full con­tact with the ma­te­rial world and with ma­te­rial per­son­al­i­ties, while you will in­creas­ingly dis­cern and frat­er­nize with spirit be­ings; and by the time of de­par­ture from the mor­ontia regime, you will have seen all or­ders of spir­its with the ex­cep­tion of a few of the higher types, such as Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers.

• always thoroughly businesslike

48:4.11All be­ings en­joy this sort of re­ver­sion ex­cept those who are in­her­ent Cre­ators, hence au­to­matic self-re­ju­ve­na­tors, and cer­tain highly spe­cial­ized types of crea­tures, such as the power cen­ters and the phys­i­cal con­trol­lers, who are al­ways and eter­nally thor­oughly busi­nesslike in all their re­ac­tions. These pe­ri­odic re­leases from the ten­sion of func­tional duty are a reg­u­lar part of life on all worlds through­out the uni­verse of uni­verses but not on the Isle of Par­a­dise. Be­ings in­dige­nous to the cen­tral abode are in­ca­pable of de­ple­tion and are not, there­fore, sub­ject to re-en­er­giz­ing. And with such be­ings of eter­nal Par­a­dise per­fec­tion there can be no such re­ver­sion to evo­lu­tion­ary ex­pe­ri­ences.

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.
