17:1.1 The [[executive]] headquarters of the [[Master Spirits]] occupy the seven [[Paradise]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_13#13:4._THE_WORLDS_OF_THE_INFINITE_SPIRIT satellites of the Infinite Spirit], which swing around the central Isle between the shining [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_13#13:3._THE_SACRED_WORLDS_OF_THE_ETERNAL_SON spheres of the Eternal Son] and the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_14#14:1._THE_PARADISE-HAVONA_SYSTEM innermost Havona circuit].

17:1.2 The Master Spirits maintain contact with the various [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_15#15:13._THE_SECTOR_GOVERNMENTS divisions of the superuniverse governments] through these Supreme Executives. It is they who very largely determine the basic constitutive [[trends]] of the [[seven superuniverses]]. They are [[uniformly]] and [[divinely]] [[perfect]], but they also possess [[diversity]] of [[personality]]. They have no presiding head; each time they meet together, they choose one of their [[number]] to preside over that joint council. Periodically they [[journey]] to [[Paradise]] to sit in council with the [[Seven Master Spirits]].

17:1.3 The Seven Supreme Executives [[function]] as the [[administrative]] [[co-ordinators]] of the [[grand universe]]; they might be termed the board of managing directors of the post-[[Havona]] [[creation]]. They are not concerned with the internal affairs of [[Paradise]], and they direct their limited [[spheres]] of [[Havona]] [[activity]] through the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_17#17:5._THE_SEVEN_SPIRITS_OF_THE_CIRCUITS Seven Spirits of the Circuits]. Otherwise there are few limits to the scope of their supervision; they engage in the direction of things [[physical]], [[intellectual]], and [[spiritual]]; they see all, hear all, feel all, even know all, that transpires in the [[seven superuniverses]] and in [[Havona]].

17:1.4 These Supreme Executives do not [[originate]] [[policies]], nor do they modify [[universe]] procedures; they are concerned with the [[execution]] of the plans of [[divinity]] promulgated by the [[Seven Master Spirits]]. Neither do they interfere with the rule of the [[Ancients of Days]] in the [[superuniverses]] nor with the [[sovereignty]] of the [[Creator Sons]] in the [[local universes]]. They are the [[co-ordinating]] executives whose [[function]] it is to carry out the combined [[policies]] of all duly constituted rulers in the [[grand universe]].

17:1.5 Each of the executives and the facilities of his [[sphere]] are [[devoted]] to the efficient [[administration]] of a single superuniverse. Supreme Executive Number One, functioning on executive sphere number one, is wholly occupied with the affairs of superuniverse number one, and so on to Supreme Executive Number Seven, working from the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_13#13:4._THE_WORLDS_OF_THE_INFINITE_SPIRIT seventh Paradise satellite of the Spirit] and devoting his energies to the management of the seventh superuniverse. The name of this seventh sphere is [[Orvonton]], for the Paradise satellites of the Spirit have the same [[names]] as their related [[superuniverses]]; in fact, the superuniverses were named after them.

17:1.6 On the executive sphere of the seventh superuniverse the staff engaged in keeping straight the affairs of [[Orvonton]] runs into [[numbers]] beyond [[human]] [[comprehension]] and [[embraces]] practically every order of [[celestial]] [[intelligence]]. All superuniverse [[services]] of [[personality]] dispatch (except [[Inspired Trinity Spirits]] and [[Thought Adjusters]]) pass through one of these seven executive worlds on their universe [[journeys]] to and from [[Paradise]], and here are maintained the central registries for all personalities created by the [[Third Source and Center]] who function in the superuniverses. The [[system]] of [[material]], [[morontial]], and [[spiritual]] [[records]] on one of these executive worlds of the Spirit [[amazes]] even a being of my order.

17:1.8 Each Supreme Executive has two advisory cabinets: The [[children]] of the [[Infinite Spirit]] on the headquarters of each [[superuniverse]] choose [[representatives]] from their ranks to serve for one millennium in the primary advisory cabinet of their Supreme Executive.

All other chiefs of affairs are appointed by the Supreme Executives.

17:1.9 From time to time, great conclaves take place on these [[Paradise]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_13#13:4._THE_WORLDS_OF_THE_INFINITE_SPIRIT satellites of the Spirit]. [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_22 Trinitized sons] assigned to these worlds, together with the ascenders who have attained Paradise, assemble with the [[spirit]] [[personalities]] of the [[Third Source and Center]] in the reunions of the struggles and triumphs of the [[ascendant career]]. The Supreme Executives always preside over such [[fraternal]] gatherings.

17:1.10 Once in each [[Paradise]] [[millennium]] the Seven Supreme Executives vacate their seats of [[authority]] and go to Paradise, where they hold their millennial conclave of universal greeting and well-wishing to the [[intelligent]] hosts of [[creation]]. This eventful occasion takes place in the [[immediate]] [[presence]] of [[Majeston]], the chief of all reflective spirit groups. And they are thus able to [[communicate]] [[simultaneously]] with all their [[associates]] in the [[grand universe]] through the [[unique]] [[functioning]] of [[universal]] [[reflectivity]].
