25:3.2 The order of conciliators is wholly [[dependable]]; not one has ever gone astray. Though not [[infallible]] in [[wisdom]] and [[judgment]], they are of unquestioned [[reliability]] and unerring in [[faithfulness]]. They take [[origin]] on the headquarters of a [[superuniverse]] and eventually return thereto, advancing through the following levels of [[universe]] [[service]]:

25:3.3 1. ''Conciliators to the Worlds''. Whenever the supervising [[personalities]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 individual worlds] become greatly perplexed or actually deadlocked concerning the proper [[procedure]] under existing circumstances, and if the matter is not of sufficient importance to be brought before the regularly constituted [[tribunals]] of the realm, then, upon the receipt of a [[petition]] of two [[personalities]], one from each [[contention]], a conciliating commission will begin to [[function]] forthwith.

25:3.4 When these [[administrative]] and [[jurisdictional]] [[difficulties]] have been placed in the hands of the conciliators for [[study]] and [[adjudication]], they are [[supreme]] in [[authority]]. But they will not [[formulate]] a [[decision]] until all the [[evidence]] has been heard, and there is [[absolutely]] no limit to their [[authority]] to call witnesses from anywhere and everywhere. And while their [[decisions]] may not be appealed, sometimes matters so develop that the commission closes its records at a given point, concludes its [[opinions]], and transfers the whole question to the higher [[tribunals]] of the realm.

25:3.5 The commissioners' decisions are placed on the [[planetary]] [[records]] and, if [[necessary]], are put into [[effect]] by the [[divine]] [[executioner]]. His [[power]] is very great, and the range of his [[activities]] on an [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 inhabited world]] is very wide. [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_25_-_The_Messenger_Hosts_of_Space#25:2._THE_UNIVERSAL_CONCILIATORS Divine executioners] are masterful [[manipulators]] of that which is in the interests of that which ought to be. Their [[work]] is sometimes carried out for the apparent [[welfare]] of the realm, and sometimes their [[acts]] on the worlds of [[time and space]] are [[difficult]] of explanation. Though executing [[decrees]] in defiance of neither [[natural law]] nor the [[ordained]] usages of the realm, they do ofttimes effect their [[strange]] doings and enforce the [[mandates]] of the conciliators in accordance with the higher laws of [[the system]] [[administration]].

25:3.6 2. ''Conciliators to the System Headquarters''. From [[service]] on the [[evolutionary worlds]] these commissions of four are advanced to [[duty]] on a [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_46 system headquarters]. Here they have much [[work]] to do, and they [[prove]] to be the [[understanding]] [[friends]] of men, [[angels]], and other [[spirit]] [[beings]]. The referee trios are not so much concerned with [[personal]] [[differences]] as with [[group]] [[contentions]] and with misunderstandings arising between [[different]] orders of [[creatures]]; and on a [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_46 system headquarters] there live both [[spiritual]] and [[material]] [[beings]], as well as the combined [[types]], such as the [[Material Sons]].

25:3.7 The [[moment]] the [[Creators]] bring into [[existence]] [[evolving]] [[individuals]] with the [[power]] of [[choice]], that [[moment]] a departure is made from the smooth working of [[divine]] [[perfection]]; misunderstandings are certain to arise, and provision for the fair [[adjustment]] of these [[honest]] [[differences]] of [[viewpoint]] must be made. We should all [[remember]] that the [[Omniscient|all-wise]] and [[Omnipotent|all-powerful]] Creators could have made the [[local universes]] just as [[perfect]] as [[Havona]]. No conciliating commissions need [[function]] in the [[central universe]]. But the [[Creators]] did not [[choose]] in their all-[[wisdom]] to do this. And while they have produced [[universes]] which abound in [[differences]] and teem with [[difficulties]], they have likewise provided the [[mechanisms]] and the means for [[composing]] all these [[differences]] and for [[harmonizing]] all this seeming [[confusion]].

25:3.8 3. ''The Constellation Conciliators''. From [[service]] in [[the system]]s the conciliators are promoted to the [[adjudication]] of the [[problems]] of a [[constellation]], taking up the minor [[difficulties]] arising between its one hundred systems of [[inhabited worlds]]. Not many problems developing on the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_43#43:1._THE_CONSTELLATION_HEADQUARTERS constellation headquarters] fall under their [[jurisdiction]], but they are kept [[busy]] going from system to system gathering [[evidence]] and [[preparing]] preliminary [[statements]]. If the [[contention]] is [[honest]], if the [[difficulties]] arise out of [[sincere]] differences of [[opinion]] and honest [[diversity]] of [[viewpoints]], no matter how few [[persons]] may be involved, no matter how apparently trivial the misunderstanding, a conciliating commission can always be had to pass upon the [[merits]] of the [[controversy]].

25:3.9 4. ''Conciliators to the Local Universes''. In this larger [[work]] of a [[universe]] the commissioners are of great [[assistance]] to both the [[Melchizedeks]] and the [[Magisterial Sons]] and to the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_43#43:3._THE_MOST_HIGHS_OF_NORLATIADEK constellation rulers] and the hosts of [[personalities]] concerned with the [[co-ordination]] and [[administration]] of the one hundred constellations. The different orders of [[seraphim]] and other residents of the headquarters [[spheres]] of a [[local universe]] also avail themselves of the help and [[decisions]] of the referee trios.

The different orders of [[seraphim]] and other residents of the headquarters [[spheres]] of a [[local universe]] also avail themselves of the help and [[decisions]] of the referee trios.

25:3.10 It is almost impossible to explain the nature of those [[differences]] which may arise in the detailed affairs of a [[the System|system]], a [[constellation]], or a [[universe]]. Difficulties do [[develop]], but they are very unlike the petty [[trials]] and travails of [[material]] [[existence]] as it is lived on the [[evolutionary worlds]].

25:3.11 5. ''Conciliators to the Superuniverse Minor Sectors''. From the [[problems]] of [[local universes]] the commissioners are advanced to the [[study]] of questions arising in the minor sectors of their [[superuniverse]]. The farther they [[ascend]] inward from the [[individual planets]], the fewer are the [[material]] [[duties]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_25_-_The_Messenger_Hosts_of_Space#25:2._THE_UNIVERSAL_CONCILIATORS divine executioner]; [[gradually]] he assumes a new role of [[mercy]]-[[justice]] [[interpreter]], at the same time—being quasi-[[material]]—keeping the commission as a whole in [[sympathetic]] [[touch]] with the [[material]] aspects of its [[investigations]].

25:3.12 6. ''Conciliators to the Superuniverse Major Sectors''. The [[character]] of the [[work]] of the commissioners continues to [[change]] as they advance. There is less and less of [[Confusion|misunderstanding]] to [[adjudicate]] and more and more of [[mysterious]] [[phenomena]] to explain and [[interpret]]. From stage to [[stage]] they are evolving from [[arbiters]] of [[differences]] to explainers of [[mysteries]] —[[judges]] evolving into [[interpretative]] [[teachers]]. Arbiters of those who through ignorance permit [[difficulties]] and misunderstandings to arise, they once were; but they are now becoming instructors of those who are sufficiently [[intelligent]] and [[tolerant]] to avoid clashes of [[mind]] and [[wars]] of [[opinions]]. The higher a creature's [[education]], the more [[respect]] he has for the [[knowledge]], [[experience]], and [[opinions]] of others.

25:3.13 7. ''Conciliators to the Superuniverse''. Here the conciliators become ''co-ordinate''—four mutually [[understood]] and [[perfectly]] [[functioning]] [[arbiter]]-[[teachers]]. The divine executioner is divested of [[retributive]] [[power]] and becomes the [[physical]] [[voice]] of the [[spirit]] trio. By this time these [[counselors]] and [[teachers]] have become expertly familiar with most of the [[actual]] [[problems]] and [[difficulties]] encountered in the conduct of [[superuniverse]] affairs. Thus they become [[wonderful]] advisers and [[wise]] [[teachers]] of the [[ascending]] [[pilgrims]] who are in residence on the [[educational]] [[spheres]] surrounding the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_15#15:7._THE_ARCHITECTURAL_SPHERES headquarters worlds of the superuniverses].

25:3.14 All conciliators serve under the general supervision of the [[Ancients of Days]] and under the [[immediate]] direction of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_17#17:4._THE_REFLECTIVE_IMAGE_AIDS Image Aids] until such [[time]] as they are advanced to [[Paradise]]. During the [[Paradise]] [[sojourn]] they report to the [[Master Spirit]] who presides over the [[superuniverse]] of their [[origin]].

During the [[Paradise]] [[sojourn]] they report to the [[Master Spirit]] who presides over the [[superuniverse]] of their [[origin]].

25:3.15 The [[superuniverse]] registries do not enumerate those conciliators who have passed beyond their [[jurisdiction]], and such commissions are widely [[Diffusion|scattered]] through the [[grand universe]]. The last report of registry on [[Uversa]] gives the [[number]] operating in [[Orvonton]] as almost eighteen trillion commissions—over seventy trillion [[individuals]]. But these are only a very small [[fraction]] of the multitude of conciliators that have been created in [[Orvonton]]; that number is of an altogether higher [[magnitude]] and is the equivalent of the [[total]] [[number]] of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_25#25:1._THE_HAVONA_SERVITALS Havona Servitals], with allowances for the [[transmutation]] into [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_24#24:6._THE_GRADUATE_GUIDES Graduate Guides].

25:3.16 From [[time]] to time, as the [[numbers]] of the [[superuniverse]] conciliators increase, they are [[translated]] to the council of [[perfection]] on [[Paradise]], from which they subsequently emerge as the [[co-ordinating]] corps evolved by the [[Infinite Spirit]] for the [[universe of universes]], a [[marvelous]] [[group]] of [[beings]] which is constantly increasing in numbers and [[efficiency]]. By [[experiential]] [[ascent]] and [[Paradise]] [[training]] they have acquired a [[unique]] [[Understanding|grasp]] of the [[emerging]] [[reality]] of the [[Supreme Being]], and they roam the [[universe of universes]] on special assignment.

25:3.17 The members of a conciliating commission are never separated. A [[group]] of four forever serve [[together]] just as they were [[originally]] [[associated]]. Even in their [[glorified]] [[service]] they continue to [[function]] as quartets of accumulated [[cosmic]] [[experience]] and perfected [[experiential]] [[wisdom]]. They are [[eternally]] [[associated]] as the [[embodiment]] of the [[supreme]] [[justice]] of [[time and space]].
