28:4.1 The ''primary seconaphim'', of assignment to the [[Ancients of Days]], are living [[mirrors]] in the [[service]] of these triune rulers. [[Think]] what it means in the [[economy]] of a [[superuniverse]] to be able to turn, as it were, to a living [[mirror]] and therein to see and therewith to hear the certain [[responses]] of another [[being]] a thousand or a hundred thousand [[light-years]] distant and to do all this instantly and unerringly. [[Records]] are [[essential]] to the [[conduct]] of the [[universes]], [[broadcasts]] are serviceable, the work of the [[Solitary Messengers|Solitary]] and other [[messengers]] is very helpful, but the [[Ancients of Days]] from their position midway between the [[inhabited worlds]] and [[Paradise]]—between [[man]] and [[God]]—can instantly look both ways, hear both ways, and [[know]] both ways.

28:4.2 This [[ability]]—to [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Senses#Audition hear] and [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Senses#Vision see], as it were, [[all things]]—can be [[perfectly]] [[realized]] in the [[superuniverses]] only by the [[Ancients of Days]] and only on their respective [[headquarters]] worlds. Even there [[limits]] are encountered: From [[Uversa]], such [[communication]] is limited to the worlds and [[universes]] of [[Orvonton]], and while inoperative between [[the superuniverses]], this same [[reflective]] [[technique]] keeps each one of them in close [[touch]] with the [[central universe]] and with [[Paradise]]. The seven [[supergovernments]], though [[individually]] [[segregated]], are thus perfectly [[reflective]] of the [[authority]] above and are wholly [[sympathetic]], as well as perfectly conversant, with the needs below.

28:4.3 The ''primary seconaphim'' are found to incline by [[inherent]] [[nature]] towards [[seven]] [[types]] of [[service]], and it is befitting that the first serials of this order should be so [[endowed]] as [[inherently]] to [[interpret]] the [[mind]] of the [[Infinite Spirit|Spirit]] to the [[Ancients of Days]]:

28:4.4 1. ''The Voice of the Conjoint Actor''. In each [[superuniverse]] the first ''primary seconaphim'' and every seventh one of that order subsequently created [[exhibit]] a high order of [[adaptability]] for [[understanding]] and [[interpreting]] the [[mind]] of the [[Infinite Spirit]] to the [[Ancients of Days]] and their [[associates]] in the [[supergovernments]]. This is of great [[value]] on the [[headquarters]] of [[the superuniverses]], for, unlike the [[local creations]] with their [[Divine Ministers]], the seat of a [[supergovernment]] does not have a specialized [[personalization]] of the [[Infinite Spirit]]. Hence these secoraphic [[voices]] come the nearest to [[being]] the [[personal]] [[representatives]] of the [[Third Source and Center]] on such a capital [[sphere]]. True, the seven [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_17#17:3._THE_REFLECTIVE_SPIRITS Reflective Spirits] are there, but these [[mothers]] of the secoraphic hosts are less truly and [[automatically]] [[reflective]] of the [[Conjoint Actor]] than of the [[Seven Master Spirits]].

28:4.5 2. ''The Voice of the Seven Master Spirits''. The second primary seconaphim and every seventh one thereafter created incline towards portraying the collective natures and reactions of the [[Seven Master Spirits]]. Though each Master Spirit is already represented on a [[superuniverse]] capital by some one of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_17#17:3._THE_REFLECTIVE_SPIRITS seven Reflective Spirits] of assignment, such representation is [[individual]], not [[collective]]. Collectively, they are only reflectively present; therefore do the [[Master Spirits]] welcome the services of these highly personal [[angels]], the second serials of the primary seconaphim, who are so competent to [[represent]] them before the [[Ancients of Days]].

28:4.6 3. ''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 [[Creator Sons|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 [[Circuits|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]].

28:4.7 No 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 [[work]]s, 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.

28:4.8 You 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 [[Vision|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]] [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handicap handicaps] of [[space]].

28:4.9 Though [[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]].

28:4.12 5. ''Broadcast Receivers''. There is a special class of [[broadcast]] [[messages]] which are received only by these primary seconaphim. While they are not the regular broadcasters of [[Uversa]], they [[work]] in [[liaison]] with the [[angels]] of the [[reflective]] [[voices]] for the [[purpose]] of [[synchronizing]] the [[reflective]] [[vision]] of the [[Ancients of Days]] with certain actual [[messages]] coming in over the established [[circuits]] of [[universe]] [[communication]]. Broadcast receivers are the fifth serials, the fifth primary seconaphim to be created and every seventh one thereafter.

28:4.13 6. ''Transport Personalities''. These are the seconaphim who carry the [[pilgrims]] of [[time]] from the [[headquarters]] worlds of the [[superuniverses]] to the outer circle of [[Havona]]. They are the transport corps of [[the superuniverses]], operating inward to [[Paradise]] and outward to [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 the worlds] of their [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_15#15:13._THE_SECTOR_GOVERNMENTS respective sectors].

This corps is [[composed]] of the sixth primary seconaphim and every seventh one subsequently created.

28:4.14 7. ''The Reserve Corps''. A very large group of seconaphim, the seventh primary serials, are held in reserve for the unclassified [[duties]] and the [[emergency]] assignments of the realms. Not being highly specialized, they can [[function]] fairly well in any of the capacities of their [[diverse]] [[associates]], but such specialized work is undertaken only in [[emergencies]]. Their usual tasks are the [[performance]] of those generalized [[duties]] of a [[superuniverse]] which do not fall within the scope of the angels of specific assignment.
