==PAPER 16: THE SEVEN MASTER SPIRITS==

−

16:0.1 The Seven Master Spirits of [[Paradise]] are the primary [[personalities]] of the [[Infinite Spirit]]. In this sevenfold [[creative]] [[act]] of self-duplication the Infinite Spirit exhausted the [[associative]] [[possibilities]] [[mathematically]] [[inherent]] in the factual [[existence]] of the [[Paradise Trinity|three persons of Deity]]. Had it been possible to produce a larger [[number]] of Master Spirits, they would have been created, but there are just seven associative possibilities, and only seven, inherent in three Deities. And this explains why the [[universe]] is [[Administration|operated]] in [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_15#15:2._ORGANIZATION_OF_THE_SUPERUNIVERSES seven grand divisions], and why the [[number]] [~~http~~://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven seven] is basically [[fundamental]] in its [[organization]] and [[administration]].

16:0.2 The Seven Master Spirits thus have their [[origin]] in, and derive their [[individual]] [[characteristics]] from, the following seven likenesses:

16:0.3 We know very little about the [[action]] of [[the Father]] and [[the Son]] in the creation of the Master Spirits. Apparently they were brought into [[existence]] by the [[personal]] acts of the [[Infinite Spirit]], but we have been definitely instructed that both the Father and the Son participated in their origin.

16:1.1 The [[Conjoint Creator]], the [[Infinite Spirit]], is [[necessary]] to the completion of the triune[~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three] [[personalization]] of undivided [[Deity]]. This threefold Deity personalization is [[inherently]] sevenfold[~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven] in [[possibility]] of [[individual]] and [[associative]] [[expression]]; hence the subsequent plan to [[create]] [[universes]] inhabited by [[intelligent]] and [[potentially]] [[spiritual]] [[beings]], duly expressive of [[the Father]], [[Eternal Son|Son]], and [[Infinite Spirit|Spirit]], made the [[personalization]] of the Seven Master Spirits [[Inevitable|inescapable]]. We have come to [[speak]] of the threefold personalization of [[Deity]] as the [[absolute]] [[inevitability]], while we have come to look upon the [[appearance]] of the Seven Master Spirits as the subabsolute inevitability

By and in and through these Seven Spirits, the [[Universal Father]], the [[Eternal Son]], or the [[Infinite Spirit]], or any dual [[association]], is able to [[function]] as such. When the Father, the Son, and the Spirit act together, they can and do [[function]] through Master Spirit Number Seven, but not as the [[Trinity]]. The Master Spirits singly and [[collectively]] [[represent]] any and all possible [[Deity]] [[functions]], single and several, but not [[collective]], not the [[Trinity]]. Master Spirit Number Seven is [[personally]] nonfunctional with regard to the [[Paradise Trinity]], and that is just why he can function [[personally]] for the [[Supreme Being]].

16:1.4 As far as we can [[discern]], these Seven Spirits are [[associated]] with the [[divine]] [[activities]] of the three [[eternal]] [[persons]] of [[Deity]]; we detect no [[evidence]] of direct [[association]] with the [[functioning]] [[presences]] of the three eternal [[phases]] of [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Three_Absolutes#The_Absolute the Absolute]. When [[associated]], the Master Spirits [[represent]] the [[Paradise]] Deities in what may be roughly [[Conception|conceived]] as the [[finite]] domain of [[action]]. It might [[embrace]] much that is [[ultimate]] but not [[absolute]].

At the [[center]] of centers the Infinite Spirit is approachable, but not all who attain [[Paradise]] are [[immediately]] able to [[discern]] his [[personality]] and differentiated [[presence]]; but all who [[attain]] the [[central universe]] can and do immediately [[commune]] with one of the Seven Master Spirits, the one presiding over the [[superuniverse]] from which the newly arrived [[space]] [[pilgrim]] hails.

16:2.2 To the [[universe of universes]] the [[Paradise Father]] speaks only through his [[Eternal Son|Son]], while he and the Son conjointly [[act]] only through the [[Infinite Spirit]]. Outside of [[Paradise]] and [[Havona]] the Infinite Spirit speaks only by the [[voices]] of the Seven Master Spirits.

16:2.3 The [[Infinite Spirit]] exerts an [[influence]] of [[personal]] [[presence]] within the confines of the [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_14#14:1._THE_PARADISE-HAVONA_SYSTEM Paradise-Havona system]; elsewhere his [[personal]] [[spirit]] [[presence]] is exerted by and through one of the Seven Master Spirits. Therefore is the superuniverse spirit presence of the [[Third Source and Center]] on any world or in any [[individual]] conditioned by the [[unique]] [[nature]] of the supervisory Master Spirit of that segment of [[creation]]. Conversely, the combined lines of [[spirit]] [[force]] and [[intelligence]] pass inward to the Third Person of [[Deity]] by way of the Seven Master Spirits.

16:2.4 The Seven Master Spirits are [[collectively]] endowed with the [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_118#PAPER_118:_SUPREME_AND_ULTIMATE.E2.80.94TIME_AND_SPACE supreme-ultimate] [[attributes]] of the [[Third Source and Center]].

16:2.5 All of [[everything]] which has been told you concerning the [[divinity]] and [[personality]] of the [[Conjoint Actor]] applies [[equally]] and fully to the Seven Master Spirits, who so [[effectively]] [[distribute]] the [[Infinite Spirit]] to the seven segments of the [[grand universe]] in accordance with their [[divine]] endowment and in the [[manner]] of their differing and individually [[unique]] [[natures]]. It would therefore be proper to apply to the [[collective]] [[group]] of seven any or all of the names of the Infinite Spirit. [[Collectively]] they are [[one]] with the Conjoint Creator on all subabsolute levels.

16:3.1 The Seven Master Spirits are indescribable [[beings]], but they are distinctly and definitely [[personal]]. They have [[names]], but we elect to introduce them by [[number]]. As primary [[personalizations]] of the [[Infinite Spirit]], they are akin, but as primary [[expressions]] of the seven possible [[Associativity|associations]] of triune Deity, they are [[essentially]] [[diverse]] in [[nature]], and this diversity of [[nature]] determines their [[differential]] of [[superuniverse]] conduct. These Seven Master Spirits may be described as follows:

−

16:3.2 ''Master Spirit Number One''. In a special [[manner]] this [[Spirit]] is the [[direct]] [[representation]] of the [[Paradise Father]]. He is a peculiar and efficient [[manifestation]] of the [[power]], [[love]], and [[wisdom]] of the [[Universal Father]]. He is the close associate and [[supernal]] [[adviser]] of the chief of [[Mystery Monitors]], that being who presides over the College of [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_107#107:2._CLASSIFICATION_OF_ADJUSTERS Personalized Adjusters] on [[Divinington]]. In all [[associations]] of the Seven Master Spirits, it is always Master Spirit Number One who speaks for the [[Universal Father]].

−

16:3.3 This Spirit presides over the first [[superuniverse]] and, while unfailingly exhibiting the [[divine]] [[nature]] of a primary [[personalization]] of the [[Infinite Spirit]], seems more especially to resemble the [[Universal Father]] in [[character]]. He is always in [[personal]] [[liaison]] with the seven [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_17#17:3._THE_REFLECTIVE_SPIRITS Reflective Spirits] at the headquarters of the first superuniverse.

16:3.4 ''Master Spirit Number Two''. This Spirit adequately portrays the matchless [[nature]] and [[charming]] [[character]] of the [[Eternal Son]], the first-born of all [[creation]]. He is always in close [[association]] with all orders of the [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_20 Sons of God] whenever they may happen to be in the [[Havona|residential universe]] as [[individuals]] or in joyous conclave.

16:3.10 ''Master Spirit Number Five''. This [[divine]] [[personality]] who exquisitely blends the [[character]] of the [[Universal Father]] and the [[Infinite Spirit]] is the adviser of that enormous group of beings known as the [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_29#29:1._THE_SEVEN_SUPREME_POWER_DIRECTORS power directors], [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_29#29:2._THE_SUPREME_POWER_CENTERS power centers], and [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_29#29:4._THE_MASTER_PHYSICAL_CONTROLLERS physical controllers].

16:3.12 ''Master Spirit Number Six''. This [[divine]] [[being]] seems to portray the combined [[character]] of the [[Eternal Son]] and the [[Infinite Spirit]]. Whenever the creatures jointly created by the Son and the Spirit forgather in the central universe, it is this Master Spirit who is their adviser; and whenever, in the councils of the Seven Master Spirits, it becomes [[necessary]] to speak conjointly for the Eternal Son and the Infinite Spirit, it is Master Spirit Number Six who [[responds]].

16:3.13 This Spirit directs the affairs of the sixth superuniverse much as would the Eternal Son and the Infinite Spirit.

16:3.14 ''Master Spirit Number Seven''. The presiding Spirit of the [[Orvonton|seventh superuniverse]] is a [[uniquely]] [[equal]] portrayal of the [[Universal Father]], the [[Eternal Son]], and the [[Infinite Spirit]]. The Seventh Spirit, the fostering adviser of all triune-origin beings, is also the adviser and director of all the [[ascending]] [[pilgrims]] of [[Havona]], those lowly beings who have [[attained]] the [[courts]] of [[glory]] through the combined [[ministry]] of the Father, the Son, and the Spirit.

Line 77: Line 77:

16:3.16 No one of the Seven Spirits is organically [[representative]] of the [[Paradise Trinity]], but when they [[unite]] as sevenfold Deity, this [[union]] in a [[deity]] sense—not in a [[personal]] sense—equivalates to a [[functional]] level associable with [[Trinity]] [[functions]]. In this sense the " Sevenfold Spirit " is [[functionally]] associable with the [[Paradise Trinity]]. It is also in this sense that Master Spirit Number Seven sometimes speaks in [[confirmation]] of [[Trinity]] [[attitudes]] or, rather, acts as spokesman for the attitude of the Sevenfold-Spirit-union regarding the attitude of the Threefold-Deity-union, the attitude of the Paradise Trinity.

16:8.6 Self-consciousness consists in intellectual awareness of personality actuality; it includes the ability to recognize the reality of other personalities. It indicates capacity for individualized experience in and with cosmic realities, equivalating to the attainment of identity status in the personality relationships of the universe. Self-consciousness connotes recognition of the actuality of mind ministration and the realization of relative independence of creative and determinative free will.

16:8.8 The Urantia type of human personality may be viewed as functioning in a physical mechanism consisting of the planetary modification of the Nebadon type of organism belonging to the electrochemical order of life activation and endowed with the Nebadon order of the Orvonton series of the cosmic mind of parental reproductive pattern. The bestowal of the divine gift of personality upon such a mind-endowed mortal mechanism confers the dignity of cosmic citizenship and enables such a mortal creature forthwith to become reactive to the constitutive recognition of the three basic mind realities of the cosmos:

16:8.9 The full function of such a personality endowment is the beginning realization of Deity kinship. Such a selfhood, indwelt by a prepersonal fragment of God the Father, is in truth and in fact a spiritual son of God. Such a creature not only discloses capacity for the reception of the gift of the divine presence but also exhibits reactive response to the personality-gravity circuit of the Paradise Father of all personalities.

==16:9. REALITY OF HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS==

16:9.1 The cosmic-mind-endowed, Adjuster-indwelt, personal creature possesses innate recognition-realization of energy reality, mind reality, and spirit reality. The will creature is thus equipped to discern the fact, the law, and the love of God. Aside from these three inalienables of human consciousness, all human experience is really subjective except that intuitive realization of validity attaches to the unification of these three universe reality responses of cosmic recognition.

16:9.2 The God-discerning mortal is able to sense the unification value of these three cosmic qualities in the evolution of the surviving soul, man's supreme undertaking in the physical tabernacle where the moral mind collaborates with the indwelling divine spirit to dualize the immortal soul. From its earliest inception the soul is real; it has cosmic survival qualities.

16:9.3 If mortal man fails to survive natural death, the real spiritual values of his human experience survive as a part of the continuing experience of the Thought Adjuster. The personality values of such a nonsurvivor persist as a factor in the personality of the actualizing Supreme Being. Such persisting qualities of personality are deprived of identity but not of experiential values accumulated during the mortal life in the flesh. The survival of identity is dependent on the survival of the immortal soul of morontia status and increasingly divine value. Personality identity survives in and by the survival of the soul.

16:9.4 Human self-consciousness implies the recognition of the reality of selves other than the conscious self and further implies that such awareness is mutual; that the self is known as it knows. This is shown in a purely human manner in man's social life. But you cannot become so ~~absolutely~~ certain of a fellow being's reality as you can of the reality of the presence of God that lives within you. The social consciousness is not inalienable like the God-consciousness; it is a cultural development and is dependent on knowledge, symbols, and the contributions of the constitutive endowments of ~~man—science~~, morality, and religion. And these cosmic gifts, socialized, constitute civilization.

16:9.6 Jesus not only revealed God to man, but he also made a new revelation of man to himself and to other men. In the life of Jesus you see man at his best. Man thus becomes so beautifully real because Jesus had so much of God in his life, and the realization (recognition) of God is inalienable and constitutive in all men.

16:9.7 Unselfishness, aside from parental instinct, is not altogether natural; other persons are not naturally loved or socially served. It requires the enlightenment of reason, morality, and the urge of religion, God-knowingness, to generate an unselfish and altruistic social order. Man's own personality awareness, self-consciousness, is also directly dependent on this very fact of innate other-awareness, this innate ability to recognize and grasp the reality of other personality, ranging from the human to the divine.

16:9.10 You become conscious of man as your creature brother because you are already conscious of God as your Creator Father. Fatherhood is the relationship out of which we reason ourselves into the recognition of brotherhood. And Fatherhood becomes, or may become, a universe reality to all moral creatures because the Father has himself bestowed personality upon all such beings and has encircuited them within the grasp of the universal personality circuit. We worship God, first, because he is, then, because he is in us, and last, because we are in him
