21:0.1 The [[Creator Sons]] are the [[Creator|makers]] and rulers of the [[local universes]] of [[time and space]]. These [[universe]] [[creators]] and [[sovereigns]] are of dual [[origin]], embodying the characteristics of [[God the Father]] and [[God the Son]]. But each Creator Son is [[different]] from every other; each is [[unique]] in [[nature]] as well as in [[personality]]; each is the "only-begotten Son"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1st_Letter_of_John#1st_Letter_of_John.2C_IV] of the [[perfect]] [[deity]] [[ideal]] of his [[origin]].

21:0.2 In the vast [[work]] of [[organizing]], [[evolving]], and [[perfecting]] a [[local universe]], these high Sons always enjoy the sustaining [[approval]] of the [[Universal Father]]. The [[relationship]] of the [[Creator Sons]] with their [[Paradise Father]] is [[touching]] and superlative. No [[doubt]], the [[profound]] [[affection]] of the [[Deity]] parents for their [[divine]] [[progeny]] is the [[wellspring]] of that [[beautiful]] and well-nigh [[divine]] [[love]] which even [[mortal]] [[parents]] bear their [[children]].

21:0.3 These primary [[Paradise Sons]] are [[personalized]] as Michaels. As they go forth from [[Paradise]] to found their [[universes]], they are known as ''Creator Michaels''. When settled in [[supreme]] [[authority]], they are called [[21:6 Destiny of Master Michaels|Master Michaels]]. Sometimes we refer to the [[sovereign]] of your [[universe]] of [[Nebadon]] as [[Christ|Christ Michael]]. Always and forever do they reign after the "order of Michael," that being the designation of the first Son[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_7#7:5._THE_SPIRIT_OF_BESTOWAL] of their order and [[nature]].

The order of Michael knows the [[grand universe]] from one end to the other; there is no [[essential]] [[experience]] of any of the [[children]] of [[time and space]] in which the Michaels have not [[personally]] [[participated]]; they are in [[fact]] partakers not only of the [[divine]] [[nature]] but also of your nature, [[meaning]] all natures, from the highest to the lowest.

Not long since on [[Uversa]] we recorded a [[universal]] [[broadcast]] of a conclave extraordinary on the [[eternal Isle]] of one hundred fifty thousand [[Creator Sons]] assembled in the [[parental]] [[presence]] and engaged in deliberations having to do with the [[progress]] of the [[unification]] and [[stabilization]] of the [[universe of universes]].

21:1.3 The divine [[natures]] of these [[Creator Sons]] are, in principle, derived [[equally]] from the [[attributes]] of both [[Paradise]] [[parents]]. All partake of the fullness of the divine [[nature]] of the [[Universal Father]] and of the [[creative]] prerogatives of the [[Eternal Son]], but as we [[observe]] the [[practical]] [[Manifestation|outworking]] of the Michael [[functions]] in the [[universes]], we [[discern]] [[apparent]] [[differences]]. Some Creator Sons appear to be more like [[God the Father]]; others more like [[God the Son]]. For example: The [[trend]] of [[administration]] in the universe of [[Nebadon]] suggests that its [[Creator]] and ruling Son is one whose [[nature]] and [[character]] more resemble that of the [[Eternal Mother Son]]. It should be further stated that some [[universes]] are presided over by Paradise Michaels who appear [[equally]] to resemble [[God the Father]] and [[God the Son]]. And these [[observations]] are in no sense implied [[criticisms]]; they are simply a recording of [[fact]].

21:1.4 I do not know the exact [[number]] of [[Creator Sons]] in [[existence]], but I have good reasons for [[believing]] that there are more than seven hundred thousand. Now, we know that there are exactly seven hundred thousand [[Unions of Days]] and no more are being created. We also observe that the [[ordained]] plans of the p[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Chapter_2:_The_Evolutionary_Antithesis resent universe age] seem to indicate that one [[Union of Days]] is to be stationed in each [[local universe]] as the [[counseling]] [[ambassador]] of the [[Trinity]]. We note further that the constantly increasing [[number]] of [[Creator Sons]] already exceeds the stationary number of the [[Unions of Days]]. But concerning the [[destiny]] of the Michaels beyond seven hundred thousand, we have never been informed.

A [[Creator Son]] is permitted to [[choose]] the space site of his [[future]] [[cosmic]] [[activity]], but before he may begin even the [[physical]] [[organization]] of his [[universe]], he must spend a long period of [[observation]] [[devoted]] to the [[study]] of the [[efforts]] of his older [[brothers]] in various [[creations]] located in the [[superuniverse]] of his [[projected]] [[action]]. And prior to all this, the Michael Son will have completed his long and [[unique]] [[experience]] of [[Paradise]] [[observation]] and [[Havona]] [[training]].

21:2.10 Notwithstanding that all [[Creator Sons]] are [[divinely]] like their [[Paradise]] [[parents]], none exactly resembles another; each is [[unique]], [[diverse]], exclusive, and [[original]] in [[nature]] as well as in [[personality]]. And since they are the [[architects]] and makers of the life plans of their respective realms, this very [[diversity]] insures that their domains will also be diverse in every [[form]] and [[phase]] of Michael-derived living [[existence]] which may be created or subsequently evolved therein. Hence the orders of [[creatures]] native to the local universes are quite varied. No two are [[administered]] or inhabited by dual-origin native beings who are in all respects identical. Within any [[superuniverse]], one half of their [[inherent]] [[attributes]] are quite alike, being derived from the [[uniform]] [[Creative Spirits]]; the other half vary, being derived from the diversified [[Creator Sons]]. But such [[diversity]] does not characterize those [[creatures]] of sole [[origin]] in the [[Creative Spirit]] nor those imported beings who are native to the [[Havona|central]] or [[superuniverses]].

Such [[action]] [[constitutes]] title of [[physical]] [[possession]], a [[cosmic]] leasehold.
