[[Creator Sons]], subsequent to the completion of their [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_119 bestowal careers], are reckoned as a separate order, sevenfold '''Master Sons'''. In [[person]] the Master Sons are identical with the [[Creator Sons]], but they have undergone such a [[unique]] [[bestowal]] [[experience]] that they are commonly regarded as a [[different]] order. When a [[Creator]] deigns to effect a bestowal, a real and permanent [[change]] is destined to take place. True, the bestowal Son is still and none the less a [[Creator]], but he has added to his [[nature]] the [[experience]] of a [[creature]], which forever removes him from the [[divine]] level of a [[Creator Son]] and elevates him to the experiential [[plane]] of a [[Master Son]], one who has fully earned the right to rule a [[universe]] and [[administer]] its worlds. Such beings [[embody]] all that can be [[secured]] from [[divine]] [[parentage]] and [[embrace]] everything to be derived from [[perfected]]-[[creature]] [[experience]]. Why should man bemoan his lowly [[origin]] and enforced [[Ascension Career|evolutionary career]] when the very [[Gods]] must pass through an [[equivalent]] [[experience]] before they are accounted experientially [[worthy]] and competent finally and fully to rule over their universe domains!
==21:5. Relation of Master Sons to the Universe==
21:5.1 The [[power]] of a Master [[Michael]] is unlimited because derived from [[experienced]] [[association]] with the [[Paradise Trinity]], is unquestioned because derived from [[actual]] [[experience]] as the very [[creatures]] subject to such [[authority]]. The [[nature]] of the [[sovereignty]] of a sevenfold [[Creator Son]] is [[supreme]] because it:
* 1. [[Embraces]] the sevenfold [[viewpoint]] of [[Paradise Deity]].
* 2. [[Embodies]] a sevenfold [[attitude]] of [[time-space]] [[creatures]].
* 3. Perfectly [[synthesizes]] [[Paradise]] [[attitude]] and [[creature]] [[viewpoint]].
21:5.2 This experiential [[sovereignty]] is thus all-inclusive of the [[divinity]] of [[God the Sevenfold]] culminating in the [[Supreme Being]]. And the [[personal]] [[sovereignty]] of a sevenfold Son is like the [[future]] [[sovereignty]] of the sometime-to-be-completed [[Supreme Being]], embracing as it does the fullest possible [[content]] of the [[power]] and [[authority]] of the [[Paradise Trinity]] [[manifestable]] within the [[time-space]] [[limits]] concerned.
21:5.3 With the [[achievement]] of [[supreme]] [[local universe]] [[sovereignty]], there passes from a [[Paper 21 - The Paradise Creator Sons|Michael Son]] the [[power]] and [[opportunity]] to create entirely new [[types]] of [[creature]] [[beings]] during the [[present universe age]]. But a Master Son's loss of [[power]] to [[originate]] entirely new orders of [[beings]] in no way [[interferes]] with the work of life elaboration already established and in [[process]] of unfoldment; this vast program of [[universe]] [[evolution]] goes on without interruption or curtailment. The acquirement of [[supreme]] [[sovereignty]] by a Master Son implies the [[responsibility]] of [[personal]] [[devotion]] to the fostering and the [[administering]] of that which has already been [[designed]] and created, and of that which will subsequently be produced by those who have been thus designed and created. In [[time]] there may [[develop]] an almost endless [[evolution]] of [[diverse]] [[beings]], but no entirely new [[pattern]] or type of [[intelligent]] [[creature]] will henceforth take direct [[origin]] from a Master Son. This is the first step, the beginning, of a settled [[administration]] in any [[local universe]].
21:5.4 The elevation of a sevenfold [[bestowal Son]] to the unquestioned [[sovereignty]] of his [[universe]] means the beginning of the end of agelong [[uncertainty]] and [[relative]] [[confusion]]. Subsequent to this [[event]], that which cannot be sometime [[spiritualized]] will eventually be disorganized; that which cannot be sometime [[co-ordinated]] with [[cosmic]] [[reality]] will eventually be destroyed. When the provisions of endless [[mercy]] and nameless [[patience]] have been exhausted in an effort to win the [[loyalty]] and [[devotion]] of the [[will]] [[creatures]] of the realms, [[justice]] and [[righteousness]] will prevail. That which [[mercy]] cannot [[rehabilitate]], [[justice]] will eventually [[annihilate]].
21:5.5 The Master Michaels are [[supreme]] in their own [[local universes]] when once they have been installed as [[sovereign]] rulers. The few [[limitations]] upon their rule are those [[inherent]] in the [[cosmic]] pre-existence of certain [[forces]] and [[personalities]]. Otherwise these Master Sons are [[supreme]] in [[authority]], [[responsibility]], and [[administrative]] [[power]] in their respective [[universes]]; they are as [[Creators]] and [[Gods]], [[supreme]] in [[virtually]] [[all things]]. There is no penetration beyond their [[wisdom]] regarding the [[functioning]] of a given [[universe]].
21:5.6 After his elevation to settled [[sovereignty]] in a [[local universe]] a Paradise Michael is in full [[control]] of all other [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_35 Sons of God] [[functioning]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_20 in his domain][http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_22], and he may freely rule in accordance with his [[concept]] of the needs of his realms. A Master Son may at will vary the order of the [[spiritual]] [[adjudication]] and evolutionary adjustment of the [[inhabited planets]]. And such Sons do make and carry out the plans of their own [[choosing]] in all matters of special planetary needs, ''<u>in particular regarding the worlds of their [[creature]] [[sojourn]] and still more concerning the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_119#119:7._THE_SEVENTH_AND_FINAL_BESTOWAL realm of terminal bestowal], the [[planet]] of [[incarnation]] in the likeness of [[mortal]] [[flesh]]</u>''.
21:5.7 The Master Sons seem to be in [[perfect]] [[communication]] with their bestowal worlds, not only the worlds of their [[personal]] [[sojourn]] but all worlds whereon a [[Magisterial Son]] has bestowed himself. This contact is maintained by their own [[spiritual]] [[presence]], the [[Spirit of Truth]], which they are able to "pour out upon all flesh."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Acts_of_the_Apostles#Acts.2] These Master Sons also maintain an unbroken [[connection]] with the [[Eternal Mother Son]] at the [[center]] of [[all things]]. They [[possess]] a [[sympathetic]] reach which extends from the [[Universal Father]] on high to the lowly [[races]] of [[planetary]] life in the realms of [[time]].
==21:6. Destiny of Master Michaels==
21:6.1 No one may with finality of [[authority]] presume to [[discuss]] either the [[natures]] or the [[destinies]] of the sevenfold Master [[Sovereigns]] of the [[local universes]]; nevertheless, we all [[speculate]] much regarding these matters. We are taught, and we [[believe]], that each Paradise Michael is the [[absolute]] of the [[dual]] [[deity]] [[concepts]] of his [[origin]]; thus he [[embodies]] [[actual]] [[phases]] of the [[infinity]] of the [[Universal Father]] and the [[Eternal Son]]. The Michaels must be partial in relation to [[total]] [[infinity]], but they are [[probably]] [[absolute]] in relation to that part of infinity concerned in their [[origin]]. But as we [[observe]] their [[work]] in the [[present universe age]], we detect no [[action]] that is more than [[finite]]; any conjectured [[Absonite|superfinite]] capacities must be self-contained and as yet unrevealed.
21:6.2 The completion of the [[creature]]-[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_119#PAPER_119:_THE_BESTOWALS_OF_CHRIST_MICHAEL bestowal careers] and the elevation to [[supreme]] [[universe]] [[sovereignty]] must signify the completed [[liberation]] of a Michael's [[finite]]-[[action]] capacities accompanied by the [[appearance]] of capacity for [[Absonite|more-than-finite]] [[service]]. For in this [[connection]] we note that such Master Sons are then restricted in the production of new [[types]] of [[creature]] [[beings]], a restriction undoubtedly made [[necessary]] by the [[liberation]] of their [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Chapter_6:_The_Second_Creative_Thesis superfinite potentialities].
21:6.3 It is highly [[probable]] that these undisclosed [[creator]] [[powers]] will remain self-contained throughout the [[present universe age]]. But sometime in the far-distant [[future]], in the now mobilizing universes of [[outer space]], we [[believe]] that the [[liaison]] between a sevenfold Master Son and a seventh-stage [[Creative Spirit]] may [[attain]] to [[absonite]] levels of [[service]] attended by the [[appearance]] of new [[things]], [[meanings]], and [[values]] on [[transcendental]] levels of [[ultimate]] [[universe]] significance.
21:6.4 Just as the [[Deity]] of [[the Supreme]] is [[actualizing]] by [[virtue]] of [[experiential]] [[service]], so are the [[Creator Sons]] achieving the [[personal]] [[realization]] of the [[Paradise]]-[[divinity]] [[potentials]] bound up in their unfathomable [[natures]]. When on [[Urantia]], Christ Michael once said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_John#Chapter_14] And we believe that in eternity the Michaels are literally destined to be "the way, the truth, and the life,"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_John#Chapter_14] ever blazing the path for all [[universe]] [[personalities]] as it leads from [[supreme]] [[divinity]] through [[ultimate]] [[Absonite|absonity]] to ''eternal'' [[deity]] [[Deity Absolute|finality]].
