Hello Ron-
Thank you for such a generous reply!
No doubt, a universe the size of our cosmic home features billions of unrevealed Paradise Sons though it is likely there are far fewer orders of such beings than beings themselves. Nevertheless, I do appreciate how coy is the construction of the Urantia Papers as if to tease us (to use one of Jerry's phrases) into greater illumination. For instance:
[[20:1|20:1.1a]] - Of the numerous orders of descending Sons, seven will be depicted (e.g. revealed) in these narratives.
In other words, while the opening statement implies many more orders are not depicted, the sentence that follows
[[20:1|20:1.1b]] - Those Sons who come forth from the Deities on the central Isle of Light and Life are called the Paradise Sons of God and embrace the following three orders........
refers categorically without any qualification to "the following three orders". Of course, it has always struck me that the two orders depicted whose genesis is a liaison between two of the three Paradise Deities logically begs the question concerning such liaisons between all possible combinations of such Deities, especially the Father-Spirit liaison as it is altogether missing from this 'depiction'.
The thought that this unnamed order that I assume to exist as one concerned exclusively (?) with outer space levels is interesting to consider. The one unrevealed order whose acquaintance I/we have made (consciously) is Cenestron, and as he described himself as "like a Melchizedek even if somewhat autonomic and commanding omniscient recall of all bibliographic references in the archives of Nebadon", made me wonder if he were not in some manner analogous to this Father-Spirit order of Paradise Sons. However, initially I took his self description to mean he belonged to the Local Universe order of Descending Sons who are unrevealed at this time.
I appreciate the recognition of the 8 unrevealed Triunities relating to post-finite domains, and while it is best to allow ourselves to be at peace in our lack of capacity to fully comprehend those 7 that are revealed given we cannot know "the ultimate level of the triunities", nevertheless would you explain your reference to the Third Triunity "that is unrevealed" as it does appear rather explicitly revealed in the list of the first seven we are invited to attempt understanding.
Gratefully,
Rob
