40:10.2Spirit-fused mor­tals are of the lo­cal uni­verse; they do not, or­di­nar­ily, as­cend be­yond the con­fines of their na­tive realm, be­yond the bound­aries of the space range of the spirit that per­vades them. Son-fused as­cend­ers like­wise rise to the source of spirit en­dow­ment, for much as the Truth Spirit of a Cre­ator Son fo­cal­izes in the as­so­ci­ated Di­vine Min­is­ter, so is his “fu­sion spirit” im­ple­mented in the Re­flec­tive Spir­its of the higher uni­verses. Such spirit re­la­tion­ship be­tween the lo­cal and the super­uni­verse lev­els of God the Sev­en­fold may be dif­fi­cult of ex­pla­na­tion but not of dis­cern­ment, be­ing un­mis­tak­ably re­vealed in those chil­dren of the Re­flec­tive Spir­its—the sec­o­raphic Voices of the Cre­ator Sons. The Thought Ad­juster, hail­ing from the Fa­ther on Par­a­dise, never stops un­til the mor­tal son stands face to face with the eter­nal God.

28:4.63. The Voice of the Cre­ator Sons. The In­fi­nite Spirit must have had some­thing to do with the cre­ation or train­ing of the Par­a­dise Sons of the or­der of Mi­chael, for the third pri­mary se­con­a­phim and ev­ery sev­enth se­rial there­after pos­sess the re­mark­able gift of be­ing re­flec­tive of the minds of these Cre­ator Sons. If the An­cients of Days would like to know—re­ally know—the at­ti­tude of Mi­chael of Neb­a­don re­gard­ing some mat­ter un­der con­sid­er­a­tion, they do not have to call him on the lines of space; they need only call for the Chief of Neb­a­don Voices, who, upon re­quest, will pre­sent the Mi­chael se­con­a­phim of rec­ord; and right then and there the An­cients of Days will per­ceive the voice of the Mas­ter Son of Neb­a­don.

28:4.7No other or­der of son­ship is thus “re­flectible,” and no other or­der of an­gel can thus func­tion. We do not fully un­der­stand just how this is ac­com­plished, and I doubt very much that the Cre­ator Sons them­selves fully un­der­stand it. But of a cer­tainty we know it works, and that it un­fail­ingly works ac­cept­ably we also know, for in all the his­tory of Uversa the sec­o­raphic voices have never erred in their pre­sen­ta­tions.

28:4.8You are here be­gin­ning to see some­thing of the man­ner in which di­vin­ity en­com­passes the space of time and mas­ters the time of space. You are here ob­tain­ing one of your first fleet­ing glimpses of the tech­nique of the eter­nity cy­cle, di­ver­gent for the mo­ment to as­sist the chil­dren of time in their tasks of mas­ter­ing the dif­fi­cult hand­i­caps of space. And these phe­nom­ena are ad­di­tional to the es­tab­lished uni­verse tech­nique of the Re­flec­tive Spir­its.

28:4.9Though ap­par­ently de­prived of the per­sonal pres­ence of the Mas­ter Spir­its above and of the Cre­ator Sons be­low, the An­cients of Days have at their com­mand liv­ing be­ings at­tuned to cos­mic mech­a­nisms of re­flec­tive per­fec­tion and ul­ti­mate pre­ci­sion whereby they may en­joy the re­flec­tive pres­ence of all those ex­alted be­ings whose per­sonal pres­ence is de­nied them. By and through these means, and oth­ers un­known to you, God is po­ten­tially pres­ent on the head­quar­ters of the super­uni­verses.

28:4.10The An­cients of Days per­fectly de­duce the Fa­ther’s will by equat­ing the Spirit voice-flash from above and the Mi­chael voice-flashes from be­low. Thus may they be unerringly cer­tain in cal­cu­lat­ing the Fa­ther’s will con­cern­ing the ad­min­is­tra­tive af­fairs of the lo­cal uni­verses. But to de­duce the will of one of the Gods from a knowl­edge of the other two, the three An­cients of Days must act to­gether; two would not be able to achieve the an­swer. And for this rea­son, even were there no oth­ers, the super­uni­verses are al­ways pre­sided over by three An­cients of Days, and not by one or even two.
