116:4.2 During those [[ages]] in which the [[sovereignty]] of [[Supremacy]] is undergoing its [[time]] [[development]], the ''almighty'' [[power]] of the [[Supreme]] is dependent on the [[divinity]] [[acts]] of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Foreword#VIII._GOD_THE_SEVENFOLD God the Sevenfold], while there seems to be a particularly close [[relationship]] between the [[Supreme Being]] and the [[Conjoint Actor]] together with his [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_9#9:8._PERSONALITIES_OF_THE_INFINITE_SPIRIT primary personalities], the [[Seven Master Spirits]].

This closeness of [[relationship]] is shared in measure by all of the [[Master Spirits]] but especially by ''Master Spirit Number Seven'', who speaks for [[the Supreme]].

116:4.5 These [[Master Spirits]] are not only the supporters and augmenters of the [[sovereignty]] of [[Supremacy]], but they are in turn affected by the [[creative]] [[purposes]] of the [[Supreme]].
