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.

==21:2. THE CREATORS OF LOCAL UNIVERSES==   

21:2.1 The Paradise Sons of the primary order are the designers, creators, builders, and administrators of their respective domains, the local universes of time and space, the basic creative units of the seven evolutionary superuniverses. 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.

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]].

21:2.2 When a Creator Son departs from Paradise to embark upon the adventure of universe making, to become the head—virtually the God—of the local universe of his own organization, then, for the first time, he finds himself in intimate contact with, and in many respects dependent upon, the Third Source and Center. The Infinite Spirit, though abiding with the Father and the Son at the center of all things, is destined to function as the actual and effective helper of each Creator Son. Therefore is each Creator Son accompanied by a Creative Daughter of the Infinite Spirit, that being who is destined to become the Divine Minister, the Mother Spirit of the new local universe.

Therefore is each Creator Son accompanied by a [[Creative Daughter]] of the [[Infinite Spirit]], that [[being]] who is [[destined]] to become the Divine Minister, the [[Mother Spirit]] of the new [[local universe]].

21:2.3 The departure of a Michael Son on this occasion forever liberates his creator prerogatives from the Paradise Sources and Centers, subject only to certain limitations inherent in the pre-existence of these Sources and Centers and to certain other antecedent powers and presences. Among these limitations to the otherwise all-powerful creator prerogatives of a local universe Father are the following:

21:2.3 The departure of a Michael Son on this occasion forever [[liberates]] his [[creator]] [[prerogatives]] from the [[Paradise]] Sources and Centers, subject only to certain [[limitations]] [[inherent]] in the pre-existence of these Sources and Centers and to certain other antecedent [[powers]] and [[presences]]. Among these [[limitations]] to the otherwise all-powerful creator prerogatives of a [[local universe]] [[Father]] are the following:

*1. 21:2.4 Energy-matter is dominated by the Infinite Spirit. Before any new forms of things, great or small, may be created, before any new transformations of energy-matter may be attempted, a Creator Son must secure the consent and working co-operation of the Infinite Spirit.

*1. 21:2.4 [[Energy]]-[[matter]] is dominated by the [[Infinite Spirit]]. Before any new [[forms]] of [[things]], great or small, may be created, before any new [[transformations]] of energy-matter may be attempted, a Creator Son must secure the consent and working [[co-operation]] of the [[Infinite Spirit]].

*2. 21:2.5 Creature designs and types are controlled by the Eternal Son. Before a Creator Son may engage in the creation of any new type of being, any new design of creature, he must secure the consent of the Eternal and Original Mother Son.

*2. 21:2.5 [[Creature]] [[designs]] and [[types]] are [[controlled]] by the [[Eternal Son]]. Before a Creator Son may engage in the [[creation]] of any new [[type]] of [[being]], any new [[design]] of [[creature]], he must secure the consent of the Eternal and [[Original Mother Son]].

*3. 21:2.6 Personality i s designed and bestowed by the Universal Father.

*3. 21:2.6 [[Personality]] i s [[designed]] and bestowed by the [[Universal Father]].

21:2.7 The types and patterns of mind are determined by the precreature factors of being. After these have been associated to constitute a creature (personal or otherwise), mind is the endowment of the Third Source and Center, the universal source of mind ministry to all beings below the level of Paradise Creators.

After these have been [[associated]] to [[constitute]] a [[creature]] ([[personal]] or otherwise), [[mind]] is the endowment of the [[Third Source and Center]], the [[universal]] [[source]] of [[mind]] ministry to all [[beings]] below the level of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paradise_Trinity#10:3._THE_THREE_PERSONS_OF_DEITY Paradise Creators].

21:2.8 The control of spirit designs and types depends on the level of their manifestation. In the last analysis, spiritual design is controlled by the Trinity or by the pre-Trinity spirit endowments of the Trinity personalities—Father, Son, and Spirit.

21:2.8 The [[control]] of [[spirit]] [[designs]] and [[types]] depends on the level of their [[manifestation]]. In the last [[analysis]], spiritual design is controlled by the [[Trinity]] or by the pre-Trinity [[spirit]] [[endowments]] of the Trinity [[personalities]]—[[Universal Father|Father]], [[Eternal Son|Son]], and [[Infinite Spirit|Spirit]].

21:2.9 When such a perfect and divine Son has taken possession of the space site of his chosen universe; when the initial problems of universe materialization and of gross equilibrium have been resolved; when he has formed an effective and co-operative working union with the complemental Daughter of the Infinite Spirit—then do this Universe Son and this Universe Spirit initiate that liaison which is designed to give origin to the innumerable hosts of their local universe children. In connection with this event the Creative Spirit focalization of the Paradise Infinite Spirit becomes changed in nature, taking on the personal qualities of the Mother Spirit of a local universe.

21:2.9 When such a [[perfect]] and divine Son has taken [[possession]] of the [[space]] site of his chosen [[universe]]; when the initial [[problems]] of universe [[materialization]] and of gross [[equilibrium]] have been resolved; when he has formed an [[effective]] and [[co-operative]] [[working]] [[union]] with the [[complemental]] [[Divine Minister|Daughter of the Infinite Spirit]]—then do this Universe Son and this Universe Spirit [[initiate]] that [[liaison]] which is [[designed]] to give [[origin]] to the innumerable hosts of their [[local universe]] [[children]].[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_32#32:2._UNIVERSE_ORGANIZATION] In [[connection]] with this [[event]] the [[Creative Spirit]] [[focalization]] of the [[Paradise]] [[Infinite Spirit]] becomes [[changed]] in [[nature]], taking on the [[personal]] qualities of the [[Mother Spirit]] of a [[local universe]].

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 central or superuniverses.

21:2.11 When a Michael Son is absent from his universe, its government is directed by the first-born native being, the Bright and Morning Star, the local universe chief executive. The advice and counsel of the Union of Days is invaluable at such times. During these absences a Creator Son is able to invest the associated Mother Spirit with the overcontrol of his spiritual presence on the inhabited worlds and in the hearts of his mortal children. And the Mother Spirit of a local universe remains always at its headquarters, extending her fostering care and spiritual ministry to the uttermost parts of such an evolutionary domain.

21:2.12 The [[personal]] [[presence]] of a[[ Creator Son]] in his [[local universe]] is not [[necessary]] to the smooth running of an established [[material]] [[creation]]. Such Sons may [[journey]] to [[Paradise]], and still their [[universes]] swing on through [[space]]. They may lay down their lines of [[power]] to [[incarnate]] as the [[children]] of [[time]]; still their realms whirl on about their respective [[center]]s. No [[material]] [[organization]] is [[independent]] of the [[absolute]]-[[gravity]] grasp of [[Paradise]] or of the [[cosmic]] overcontrol [[inherent]] in the space [[presence]] of the [[Unqualified Absolute]].

==21:3. LOCAL UNIVERSE SOVEREIGNTY==   

==21:3. LOCAL UNIVERSE SOVEREIGNTY==   

21:3.1 A Creator Son is given the range of a universe by the consent of the Paradise Trinity and with the confirmation of the supervising Master Spirit of the superuniverse concerned. Such action constitutes title of physical possession, a cosmic leasehold. But the elevation of a Michael Son from this initial and self-limited stage of rulership to the experiential supremacy of self-earned sovereignty comes as a result of his own personal experiences in the work of universe creation and incarnated bestowal. Until the achievement of bestowal-earned sovereignty, he rules as vicegerent of the Universal Father.
