35:9.1 The [[Lanonandeks]] are the [[continuous]] rulers of the [[planets]] and the rotating [[sovereigns]] of [[the systems]]. Such a Son now rules on [[Jerusem]], the [[headquarters]] of your [[local system]] of [[inhabited worlds]].
35:9.2 The [[System Sovereigns]] rule in commissions of two or three on the [[headquarters]] of each system of [[inhabited worlds]]. The [[Constellation Father]] names one of these [[Lanonandeks]] as chief every dekamillennium. Sometimes no [[change]] in the head of the trio is made, the matter being entirely [[optional]] with the [[constellation]] rulers. [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_45#45:3._THE_SYSTEM_GOVERNMENT System governments] do not suddenly [[change]] in personnel unless a [[tragedy]] of some sort occurs.
35:9.3 When [[System Sovereigns]] or assistants are recalled, their places are filled by selections made by the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_43#43:2._THE_CONSTELLATION_GOVERNMENT supreme council located on the constellation headquarters] from the reserves of that order, a [[group]] which is larger on [[Edentia]] than the average indicated.
35:9.4 The supreme [[Lanonandek]] [[councils]] are stationed on the various [[constellation]] [[headquarters]]. Such a [[body]] is presided over by the senior [[Most High]] [[associate]] of the [[Constellation Father]], while the junior associate supervises the reserves of the secondary order.
35:9.5 The [[System Sovereigns]] are true to their [[names]]; they are well-nigh sovereign in the local affairs of the [[inhabited worlds]]. They are almost [[paternal]] in their direction of the [[Planetary Princes]], the [[Material Sons]], and the [[ministering spirits]]. The [[personal]] grasp of the sovereign is all but complete. These rulers are not supervised by [[Trinity]] [[observers]] from the [[central universe]]. They are the [[executive]] division of the [[local universe]], and as custodians of the enforcement of [[legislative]] [[mandates]] and as [[executives]] for the [[application]] of [[judicial]] [[verdicts]], they present the one place in all [[universe]] [[administration]] where [[personal]] disloyalty to the will of the [[Creator Son|Michael Son]] could most easily and readily intrench itself and seek to assert itself.

35:9.7 The large number of these Sons who have lapsed from [[integrity]] does not indicate any fault in creatorship. They could have been made [[divinely]] [[perfect]], but they were so created that they might better [[understand]], and draw near to, the [[evolutionary]] [[creatures]] dwelling on the worlds of [[time and space]].

I do not make this [[observation]] by way of [[criticism]]. The [[Creator Son|Creator]] of our [[universe]] has full [[authority]] and [[power]] to do this. It is the contention of our high rulers that, while such free-choosing Sons make excessive trouble in the earlier ages of the universe, when things are fully sifted and finally settled, the gains of higher [[loyalty]] and fuller [[volitional]] [[service]] on the part of these thoroughly tested Sons will far more than [[compensate]] for the [[confusion]] and [[Turbulence|tribulations]] of earlier times.
