28:6.1 In the same [[manner]] as their fellows, these [[angels]] are created serially and in [[seven]] [[reflective]] [[types]], but these types are not assigned [[individually]] to the separate [[services]] of the [[superuniverse]] [[administrators]]. All tertiary seconaphim are [[collectively]] assigned to the [[Trinitized Sons of Attainment]], and these [[ascendant]] sons use them interchangeably; that is, the [[Mighty Messengers]] can and do utilize any of the tertiary types, and so do their [[co-ordinates]], [[Those High in Authority]] and [[Those without Name and Number]]. These [[seven]] [[types]] of tertiary seconaphim are:

28:6.2 1. ''The Significance of Origins''. The ascendant [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_22#22:7._TECHNIQUE_OF_TRINITIZATION Trinitized Sons] of a [[superuniverse]] [[government]] are charged with the [[responsibility]] of dealing with all issues [[growing]] out of the [[origin]] of any [[individual]], [[race]], or [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 world]; and the significance of [[origin]] is the paramount question in all our plans for the [[cosmic]] [[advancement]] of the living [[creatures]] of the realm. All [[relationships]] and the [[application]] of [[ethics]] [[grow]] out of the [[fundamental]] [[facts]] of [[origin]]. [[Origin]] is the basis of the [[relational]] [[reaction]] of [[the Gods]]. Always does the [[Conjoint Actor]] "take note of the man, in what manner he was born."[http://www.roangelo.net/logwitt/manner.html]

28:6.3 With the higher [[descendant beings]], [[origin]] is simply a [[fact]] to be ascertained; but with the [[ascending beings]], including the lower orders of [[angels]], the [[nature]] and circumstances of [[origin]] are not always so clear, though of [[equally]] vital importance at almost every turn of [[universe]] affairs—hence the [[value]] of having at our disposal a series of [[reflective]] seconaphim who can instantly portray anything required respecting the [[Birth|genesis]] of any [[being]] in either the [[central universe]] or throughout the entire realm of a [[superuniverse]].

28:6.5 2. ''The Memory of Mercy''. These are the [[actual]], full and replete, living [[records]] of the [[mercy]] which has been extended to [[individuals]] and [[races]] by the tender ministrations of the instrumentalities of the [[Infinite Spirit]] in the mission of adapting the [[justice]] of [[righteousness]] to the [[status]] of the realms, as disclosed by the portrayals of the Significance of Origins. The Memory of Mercy discloses the [[moral]] [[debt]] of the [[children]] of [[mercy]]—their [[spiritual]] liabilities—to be set down against their [[assets]] of the saving provision established by the [[Paradise Sons of God|Sons of God]]. In [[revealing]] [[the Father]]'s pre-existent mercy, the Sons of God establish the [[necessary]] credit to insure the [[survival]] of all. And then, in [[accordance]] with the findings of the Significance of Origins, a [[mercy]] credit is established for the [[survival]] of each [[rational]] [[creature]], a credit of lavish [[proportions]] and one of sufficient [[grace]] to insure the [[survival]] of every [[soul]] who really [[desires]] [[divine]] [[citizenship]].

28:6.6 The Memory of Mercy is a living [[trial]] [[balance]], a current [[statement]] of your account with the [[supernatural]] [[forces]] of the realms. These are the living [[records]] of [[mercy]] ministration which are read into the [[testimony]] of the [[courts]] of [[Uversa]] when each [[individual]]'s right to unending life comes up for [[adjudication]], when "thrones are cast up and the [[Ancients of Days]] are seated. The [[broadcasts]] of [[Uversa]] issue and come forth from before them; thousands upon thousands minister to them, and ten thousand times ten thousand stand before them. The [[judgment]] is set, and the [[books]] are opened."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Daniel#Chapter_7] And the [[books]] which are opened on such a momentous occasion are the living [[records]] of the tertiary seconaphim of [[the superuniverses]]. The [[formal]] [[records]] are on file to [[corroborate]] the [[testimony]] of the Memories of Mercy if they are required.

The [[formal]] [[records]] are on file to [[corroborate]] the [[testimony]] of the Memories of Mercy if they are required.

28:6.7 The Memory of Mercy must show that the saving credit established by the [[Paradise Sons|Sons of God]] has been fully and [[faithfully]] paid out in the [[loving]] [[ministry]] of the [[patient]] [[personalities]] of the [[Third Source and Center]]. But when [[mercy]] is exhausted, when the "memory" thereof testifies to its depletion, then does [[justice]] prevail and [[righteousness]] [[decree]]. For [[mercy]] is not to be thrust upon those who despise it; [[mercy]] is not a gift to be trampled under foot by the persistent [[rebels]] of [[time]]. Nevertheless, though [[mercy]] is thus precious and dearly [[bestowed]], your [[individual]] drawing credits are always far in excess of your [[ability]] to exhaust the reserve if you are [[sincere]] of [[purpose]] and [[honest]] of [[heart]].

28:6.8 The mercy reflectors, with their tertiary [[associates]], engage in numerous [[superuniverse]] ministries, including the [[teaching]] of the [[ascending creatures]]. Among many other [[things]] the Significances of Origins teach these [[ascenders]] how to apply [[spirit]] [[ethics]], and following such [[training]], the Memories of Mercy teach them how to be truly [[merciful]]. While the [[spirit]] [[techniques]] of [[mercy]] [[ministry]] are beyond your [[concept]], you should even now [[understand]] that [[mercy]] is a [[quality]] of [[growth]]. You should [[realize]] that there is a great reward of [[personal]] [[satisfaction]] in being first [[just]], next [[fair]], then [[patient]], then [[kind]]. And then, on that [[foundation]], if you [[choose]] and have it in your [[heart]], you can take the next step and really show [[mercy]]; but you cannot exhibit [[mercy]] in and of itself. These steps must be traversed; otherwise there can be no genuine [[mercy]]. There may be patronage, condescension, or [[charity]]—even [[pity]]—but not [[mercy]]. True mercy comes only as the [[beautiful]] [[climax]] to these preceding adjuncts to [[group]] [[understanding]], [[mutual]] [[appreciation]], fraternal fellowship, [[spiritual]] [[communion]], and [[divine]] [[harmony]].

28:6.9 3. ''The Import of Time''. Time is the one [[universal]] [[endowment]] of all [[Free will|will]] [[creatures]]; it is the "one talent"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_matthew#Chapter_25] [[intrusted]] to all [[intelligent]] [[beings]]. You all have [[time]] in which to [[insure]] your [[survival]]; and time is [[fatally]] squandered only when it is buried in [[neglect]], when you fail so to utilize it as to make certain the [[survival]] of your [[soul]]. Failure to improve one's time to the fullest extent possible does not impose fatal penalties; it merely retards the [[pilgrim]] of [[time]] in his [[journey]] of [[ascent]]. If [[survival]] is gained, all other losses can be retrieved.

28:6.10 In the assignment of [[trusts]] the [[counsel]] of the Imports of Time is invaluable. [[Time]] is a [[vital]] [[factor]] in [[everything]] this side of [[Havona]] and [[Paradise]]. In the final [[judgment]] before the [[Ancients of Days]], [[time]] is an element of [[evidence]]. The Imports of Time must always afford [[testimony]] to show that every defendant has had ample [[time]] for making [[decisions]], [[achieving]] choice.

28:6.14 On Urantia, you grotesquely essay to read character and to estimate specific abilities, but on Uversa we actually do these things in perfection. These seconaphim weigh trustworthiness in the living scales of unerring character appraisal, and when they have looked at you, we have only to look at them to know the limitations of your ability to discharge responsibility, execute trust, and fulfill missions. Your assets of trustworthiness are clearly set forth alongside your liabilities of possible default or betrayal.

Your assets of trustworthiness are clearly set forth alongside your liabilities of possible default or betrayal.

28:6.15 It is the plan of your superiors to advance you by augmented trusts just as fast as your character is sufficiently developed to gracefully bear these added responsibilities, but to overload the individual only courts disaster and insures disappointment. And the mistake of placing responsibility prematurely upon either man or angel may be avoided by utilizing the ministry of these infallible estimators of the trust capacity of the individuals of time and space. These [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_28#28:3._THE_SECONAPHIM seconaphim] ever accompany [[Those High in Authority]], and never do these [[executives]] make assignments until their [[candidates]] have been weighed in the secoraphic [[balances]] and pronounced "not wanting."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Daniel#Chapter_5]

28:6.16 5. ''The Sanctity of Service''. The [[privilege]] of [[service]] [[immediately]] follows the [[discovery]] of [[trustworthiness]]. Nothing can stand between you and [[opportunity]] for increased [[service]] except your own untrustworthiness, your lack of [[capacity]] for [[appreciation]] of the [[solemnity]] of [[trust]].

28:6.17 [[Service]]—[[purposeful]] service, not [[slavery]]—is productive of the highest [[satisfaction]] and is [[expressive]] of the divinest [[dignity]]. [[Service]]—more service, increased service, [[difficult]] service, [[adventurous]] service, and at last [[divine]] and [[perfect]] [[service]]—is the goal of [[time]] and the destination of [[space]]. But ever will the [[play]] [[cycles]] of time [[alternate]] with the [[service]] cycles of [[progress]]. And after the [[service]] of [[time]] there follows the superservice of [[eternity]]. During the [[play]] of [[time]] you should [[Vision|envision]] the [[work]] of [[eternity]], even as you will, during the service of [[eternity]], [[reminisce]] the [[play]] of [[time]].

28:6.18 The [[universal]] [[economy]] is based on intake and output; throughout the [[eternal]] [[career]] you will never encounter monotony of inaction or stagnation of [[personality]]. [[Progress]] is made possible by [[inherent]] [[motion]], advancement [[grows]] out of the [[divine]] [[capacity]] for [[action]], and [[achievement]] is the child of [[imaginative]] [[adventure]]. But [[inherent]] in this [[capacity]] for achievement is the [[responsibility]] of [[ethics]], the [[necessity]] for recognizing that the world and the [[universe]] are filled with a multitude of [[differing]] [[types]] of [[beings]]. All of this [[magnificent]] [[creation]], including yourself, was not made just for you. This is not an [[Ego|egocentric]] [[universe]]. [[The Gods]] have [[decreed]], "It is more blessed to give than to receive,"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Daniel#Chapter_5] and said your [[Master Son]], "He who would be greatest among you let him be server of all."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_matthew#Chapter_20]

28:6.19 The real [[nature]] of any [[service]], be it rendered by [[man]] or [[angel]], is fully [[revealed]] in the faces of these secoraphic service indicators, the Sanctities of Service. The full [[analysis]] of the true and of the hidden [[motives]] is clearly shown. These [[angels]] are indeed the [[mind]] [[readers]], [[heart]] searchers, and [[soul]] [[revealers]] of the [[universe]]. [[Mortals]] may employ [[words]] to conceal their [[thoughts]], but these high seconaphim lay [[bare]] the deep [[motives]] of the [[human]] [[heart]] and of the [[angelic]] [[mind]].

While these are the [[moral]] elements of greatness, there are also [[secrets]] of greatness. When the [[spiritual]] tests of greatness are [[applied]], the [[moral]] elements are not disregarded, but the [[quality]] of [[unselfishness]] [[revealed]] in disinterested [[labor]] for the welfare of one's [[earthly]] fellows, particularly worthy [[beings]] in need and in distress, that is the real [[measure]] of [[planetary]] greatness. And the [[manifestation]] of greatness on a world like [[Urantia]] is the exhibition of [[self]]-[[control]]. The great man is not he who "takes a city" or "overthrows a nation," but rather "he who subdues his own tongue."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Proverbs#Proverb_.16]

28:6.21 Greatness is synonymous with [[divinity]]. [[God]] is [[supremely]] great and [[good]]. Greatness and [[goodness]] simply cannot be [[divorced]]. They are forever made [[one]] in [[God]]. This [[truth]] is [[literally]] and strikingly [[illustrated]] by the [[reflective]] [[interdependence]] of the ''Secret of Greatness and the Soul of Goodness'', for neither can [[function]] without the other. In [[reflecting]] other [[qualities]] of [[divinity]], the [[superuniverse]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_28#28:3._THE_SECONAPHIM seconaphim] can and do [[act]] alone, but the [[reflective]] estimates of greatness and of goodness appear to be inseparable. Hence, on any world, in any [[universe]], must these reflectors of greatness and of goodness [[work]] [[together]], always showing a [[dual]] and [[mutually]] dependent report of every [[being]] upon whom they [[focalize]]. Greatness cannot be estimated without knowing the [[content]] of [[goodness]], while goodness cannot be portrayed without [[exhibiting]] its [[inherent]] and [[divine]] greatness.

28:6.22 The estimate of greatness varies from [[sphere]] to sphere. To be great is to be Godlike. And since the [[quality]] of greatness is wholly [[determined]] by the [[content]] of [[goodness]], it follows that, even in your present [[human]] estate, if you can through [[grace]] become [[good]], you are thereby becoming great. The more [[steadfastly]] you behold, and the more [[persistently]] you pursue, the [[concepts]] of [[divine]] [[goodness]], the more [[certainly]] will you grow in greatness, in true [[magnitude]] of genuine [[survival]] [[character]].
