Among the courtesy colonies of the various [[division]]al and [[Salvington|universe headquarters worlds]], may be found the [[unique]] order of [[composite]] [[personalities]] denominated the ''celestial artisans''. These [[beings]] are the master artists and artisans of the [[morontia]] and lower [[spirit]] realms. They are the spirits and semispirits who are engaged in [[morontia]] embellishment and in [[spiritual]] [[beautification]]. Such artisans are [[distributed]] throughout the [[grand universe]]—on the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Seven_superuniverse#15:7._THE_ARCHITECTURAL_SPHERES headquarters worlds] of the [[superuniverses]], the [[local universes]], the [[constellations]], and [[the System|systems]], as well as on all [[spheres]] settled in [[light and life]]; but their chief realm of [[activity]] is in the [[constellations]] and especially on the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Constellation#PAPER_43:_THE_CONSTELLATIONS seven hundred seventy worlds] surrounding each [[Edentia|headquarters sphere]].

Though their [[work]] may be almost incomprehensible to the [[material]] [[mind]], it should be [[understood]] that the [[morontia]] and [[spirit]] worlds are not without their high [[arts]] and [[supernal]] [[cultures]].

The ''celestial artisans'' are not [[created]] as such; they are a selected and recruited corps of [[beings]] composed of certain [[teacher]] [[personalities]] [[native]] to the [[central universe]] and their [[volunteer]] [[pupils]] drawn from the [[ascending mortals]] and numerous other [[celestial]] [[groups]]. The [[original]] teaching corps of these [[artisans]] was sometime assigned by the [[Infinite Spirit]] in [[collaboration]] with the [[Seven Master Spirits]] and consisted of seven thousand [[Havona]] instructors, one thousand to each of the seven divisions of artisans. With such a [[nucleus]] to start with, there has [[developed]] through the ages this [[brilliant]] [[body]] of [[skill]]ful workers in [[spirit]] and [[morontia]] affairs.

All these [[activities]] of the [[morontia]] and [[spirit]] worlds are real. To [[spirit]] [[beings]] the spirit world is a [[reality]]. To us the [[material]] world is the more unreal. The higher [[forms]] of [[spirits]] freely pass through ordinary [[matter]]. High spirits are [[reactive]] to nothing [[material]] excepting certain of the basic [[energies]]. To [[material]] [[beings]] the spirit world is more or less unreal; to spirit beings the material world is almost entirely unreal, being merely a [[shadow]] of the substance of spirit [[realities]].

I cannot, with exclusive [[spirit]] [[vision]], [[perceive]] the building in which this [[narrative]] is being [[translated]] and [[recorded]]. A [[Divine Counselor]] from [[Uversa]] who [[chances]] to stand by my side [[perceives]] still less of these [[purely]] [[material]] [[creations]]. We [[discern]] how these [[material]] [[structures]] appear to you by viewing a [[spirit]] [[counterpart]] presented to our [[minds]] by one of our attending [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_29#29:4._THE_MASTER_PHYSICAL_CONTROLLERS energy transformers]. This [[material]] building is not exactly real to me, a [[spirit]] [[being]], but it is, of course, very real and very serviceable to [[material]] [[mortals]].

There are certain [[types]] of [[beings]] who are capable of [[discerning]] the [[reality]] of the [[creatures]] of both the [[spirit]] and the [[material]] worlds. Belonging to this [[class]] are the so-called fourth creatures of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_25#25:1._THE_HAVONA_SERVITALS Havona Servitals] and the fourth creatures of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_25#25:2._THE_UNIVERSAL_CONCILIATORS conciliators]. The [[angels]] of [[time and space]] are [[endowed]] with the [[ability]] to [[discern]] both [[spirit]] and [[material]] [[beings]] as also are the [[ascending mortals]] subsequent to [[Death|deliverance from the life in the flesh]]. After [[attainment]] of the higher [[spirit]] [[levels]] the ascenders are able to recognize [[material]], [[morontia]], and [[spirit]] [[realities]].

There is also here with me a [[Mighty Messenger]] from [[Uversa]], an ascendant [[Adjuster-fused]], onetime [[mortal]] [[being]], and he [[perceives]] you as you are, and at the same time he [[visualizes]] the [[Solitary Messenger]], the [[supernaphim]], and other [[celestial]] [[beings]] present. Never in your long [[ascendancy]] will you lose the [[power]] to [[recognize]] your [[associates]] of [[Past|former]] [[existences]]. Always, as you [[ascend]] inward in the [[scale]] of [[life]], will you retain the [[ability]] to recognize and fraternize with the fellow beings of your previous and lower [[levels]] of [[experience]]. Each new [[translation]] or [[resurrection]] will add one more [[group]] of [[spirit]] [[beings]] to your [[vision]] range without in the least depriving you of the [[ability]] to [[recognize]] your [[friends]] and fellows of [[Past|former]] estates.
