13:1.1 [[The Father]]'s [[circuit]] of [[sacred]] life [[spheres]] contains the only [[inherent]] [[personality]] [[secrets]] in the [[universe of universes]]. These satellites of Paradise, the innermost of the three circuits, are the only forbidden domains concerned with personality in the [[central universe]]. Nether Paradise and the worlds of the Son are likewise closed to personalities, but neither of those realms is in any way directly concerned with personality.

13:1.2 The Paradise worlds of the Father are directed by the highest order of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_10#10:6._THE_STATIONARY_SONS_OF_THE_TRINITY Stationary Sons of the Trinity], the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_18_-_The_Supreme_Trinity_Personalities#18:1._THE_TRINITIZED_SECRETS_OF_SUPREMACY Trinitized Secrets of Supremacy]. Of these worlds I can tell little; of their manifold activities I may tell less. Such [[information]] concerns only those [[beings]] who function thereon and go forth therefrom. And though I am somewhat familiar with six of these special worlds, never have I landed on Divinington; that world is wholly forbidden to me.

13:1.3 One of the reasons for the [[secrecy]] of these worlds is because each of these [[sacred]] [[spheres]] enjoys a specialized [[representation]], or [[manifestation]], of the Deities composing the [[Paradise Trinity]]; not a personality, but a [[unique]] presence of [[Divinity]] which can only be appreciated and [[comprehended]] by those particular groups of [[intelligences]] resident on, or admissible to, that particular sphere. The [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_18_-_The_Supreme_Trinity_Personalities#18:1._THE_TRINITIZED_SECRETS_OF_SUPREMACY Trinitized Secrets of Supremacy] are the [[personal]] [[agents]] of these specialized and [[impersonal]] [[presences]] of Divinity. And the Secrets of Supremacy are highly [[personal]] beings, superbly endowed and marvelously adapted to their exalted and exacting [[work]].

13:1.4 1. DIVININGTON. This world is, in a [[unique]] sense, the " bosom of the Father,"[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_John#Chapter] the [[personal]]-[[communion]] [[sphere]] of the Universal Father, and thereon is a special [[manifestation]] of his divinity. Divinington is the Paradise rendezvous of the [[Thought Adjusters]], but it is also the [[home]] of numerous other [[entities]], [[personalities]], and other beings taking [[origin]] in the [[Universal Father]]. Many personalities besides the [[Eternal Son]] are of direct origin by the [[solitary]] [[acts]] of the Universal Father. Only the [[Father fragment]]s and those personalities and other beings of direct and exclusive origin in the Universal Father fraternize and [[function]] on this abode.

13:1.5 The [[secrets]] of Divinington include the secret of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_108#108:1._SELECTION_AND_ASSIGNMENT bestowal] and [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_108 mission] of [[Thought Adjusters]]. Their [[nature]], [[origin]], and the [[technique]] of their contact with the lowly [[creatures]] of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 evolutionary worlds] is a [[secret]] of this [[Paradise]] [[sphere]]. These amazing transactions do not personally concern the rest of us, and therefore do the [[Deities]] deem it proper to withhold certain features of this great and divine [[ministry]] from our full [[understanding]]. In so far as we come in contact with this [[phase]] of divine activity, we are permitted full [[knowledge]] of these transactions, but concerning the [[intimate]] details of this great bestowal we are not fully informed.

13:1.6 This sphere also holds the secrets of the [[nature]], [[purpose]], and [[activities]] of all [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_30_-_Personalities_of_the_Grand_Universe#PAPER_30:_PERSONALITIES_OF_THE_GRAND_UNIVERSE other forms of Father fragments](30:1.17), of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_31#31:2._GRAVITY_MESSENGERS Gravity Messengers], and of hosts of other beings unrevealed to you. It is highly [[probable]] that those [[truths]] pertaining to Divinington which are withheld from me, if revealed, would merely [[confuse]] and handicap me in my present [[work]], and still again, perhaps they are beyond the [[conceptual]] [[capacity]] of my order of being.

13:1.7 2. SONARINGTON. This sphere is the "bosom of the Son," the [[personal]] receiving world of the [[Eternal Son]]. It is the Paradise headquarters of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_20 descending] and [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40 ascending] Sons of God when, and after, they are fully accredited and finally approved. This world is the [[Paradise]] [[home]] for all Sons of the Eternal Son and of his co-ordinate and associate Sons. There are numerous orders of divine sonship attached to this supernal abode which have not been revealed to [[mortals]] since they are not concerned with the plans of the [[ascension scheme]] of human spiritual [[progression]] through the [[universes]] and on to [[Paradise]].

13:1.8 The secrets of Sonarington include the secret of the [[incarnation]] of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_20 divine Sons]. When a Son of God becomes a Son of Man, is [[literally]] born of [[woman]], as occurred on your world [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_122 nineteen hundred years ago], it is a [[universal]] [[mystery]]. It is occurring right along throughout the [[universes]], and it is a Sonarington [[secret]] of divine sonship. The [[Adjusters]] are a mystery of [[God the Father]]. The [[incarnation]] of the divine Sons is a mystery of [[God the Son]]; it is a secret locked up in the seventh sector of Sonarington, a realm penetrated by none save those who have [[personally]] passed through this [[unique]] [[experience]]. Only those [[phases]] of incarnation having to do with your [[ascension career]] have been brought to your notice. There are many other phases of the mystery of the incarnation of the [[Paradise Sons]] of unrevealed [[types]] on missions of universe [[service]] which are undisclosed to you. And there are still other Sonarington mysteries.

13:1.9 3. SPIRITINGTON. This world is the "bosom of the Spirit," the [[Paradise]] [[home]] of the high [[beings]] that exclusively [[represent]] the [[Infinite Spirit]]. Here forgather the [[Seven Master Spirits]] and certain of their offspring from all [[universes]]. At this [[celestial]] abode may also be found numerous unrevealed orders of spirit personalities, beings assigned to the manifold [[activities]] of the universe not associated with the plans of upstepping the [[mortal]] [[creatures]] of [[time]] to the [[Paradise]] levels of [[eternity]].

13:1.10 The secrets of Spiritington involve the impenetrable [[mysteries]] of [[reflectivity]]. We tell you of the vast and [[universal]] [[phenomenon]] of [[reflectivity]], more particularly as it is operative on the headquarters worlds of [[the seven superuniverses]], but we never fully explain this [[phenomenon]], for we do not fully [[understand]] it. Much, very much, we do comprehend, but many basic details are still mysterious to us. Reflectivity is a [[secret]] of [[God the Spirit]]. You have been instructed concerning reflectivity [[functions]] in [[relation]] to the [[ascension scheme]] of mortal [[survival]], and it does so operate, but reflectivity is also an indispensable feature of the normal working of numerous other phases of universe occupation. This endowment of the Infinite Spirit is also utilized in [[channels]] other than those of [[intelligence]] gathering and [[information]] dissemination. And there are other secrets of Spiritington.

13:1.11 4. VICEGERINGTON. This planet is the "bosom of the Father and the Son" and is the [[secret]] [[sphere]] of certain unrevealed [[beings]] who take [[origin]] by the [[acts]] of [[the Father]] and [[the Son]]. This is also the Paradise [[home]] of many [[glorified]] beings of [[complex]] [[ancestry]], those whose origin is complicated because of the many [[diverse]] [[techniques]] operative in [[the seven superuniverses]]. Many groups of beings forgather on this world whose [[identity]] has not been revealed to [[Urantia]] [[mortals]].

13:1.12 The secrets of Vicegerington include the secrets of [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_22#22:7._TECHNIQUE_OF_TRINITIZATION trinitization], and trinitization constitutes the [[secret]] of [[authority]] to [[represent]] the [[Trinity]], to act as vicegerents of the [[Gods]]. Authority to represent the Trinity attaches only to those beings, revealed and unrevealed, who are [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_22 trinitized], [[created]], [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Foreword#DEITY_AND_DIVINITY eventuated](0:1.12), or eternalized by any two or all three of the [[Paradise Trinity]]. Personalities brought into being by the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_22#22:8._THE_CREATURE-TRINITIZED_SONS trinitizing] [[acts]] of certain [[types]] of glorified creatures represent no more than the conceptual potential mobilized in that trinitization, albeit such creatures may [[ascend]] the path of [[Deity]] [[embrace]] open to all of their kind.

13:1.13 Nontrinitized beings do not fully [[understand]] the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_22#22:7._TECHNIQUE_OF_TRINITIZATION technique of trinitization] by either two or three Creators or by certain [[creatures]]. You will never fully understand such a phenomenon unless, in the far-distant future of your [[Ascension Career|glorified career]], you should (?a) essay and succeed in such an [[adventure]], because otherwise these secrets of Vicegerington will always be forbidden you. But to me, a high [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_18 Trinity-origin being][https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_19], all sectors of Vicegerington are open. I fully understand, and just as fully and sacredly protect, the [[secret]] of my [[origin]] and [[destiny]].

13:1.14 There are still other forms and phases of trinitization which have not been brought to the notice of the [[Urantia]] peoples, and these [[experiences]], in their personal aspects, are duly protected in the secret sector of Vicegerington.

13:1.15 5. SOLITARINGTON. This world is the "bosom of the Father and the Spirit" and is the rendezvous of a [[magnificent]] host of unrevealed beings of origin in the conjoint [[acts]] of the [[Universal Father]] and the [[Infinite Spirit]], beings who partake of the traits of the Father in addition to their Spirit inheritance.

13:1.16 This is also the home of the [[Solitary Messengers]] and of other personalities of the superangelic orders. You know of very few of these [[beings]]; there are vast numbers of orders unrevealed on [[Urantia]]. Because they are domiciled on the fifth world, it does not [[necessarily]] follow that the Father had aught to do with the creation of Solitary Messengers or their superangelic associates, but in [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_117_-_God_the_Supreme#117:2._THE_SOURCE_OF_EVOLUTIONARY_GROWTH this universe age] he does have to do with their [[function]]. During the present universe age this is also the [[status]] [[sphere]] of the [[Universe Power Directors]].

13:1.17 There are numerous additional orders of spirit personalities, beings unknown to mortal man, who look upon Solitarington as their [[Paradise]] [[home]] [[sphere]]. It should be [[remembered]] that all divisions and levels of [[universe]] [[activities]] are just as fully provided with spirit ministers as is the realm concerned with helping mortal man ascend to his divine Paradise destiny.

13:1.18 The secrets of Solitarington. Besides certain secrets of [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_22#22:7._TECHNIQUE_OF_TRINITIZATION trinitization], this world holds the secrets of the [[personal]] [[relation]] of the [[Infinite Spirit]] with certain of the higher offspring of the Third Source and Center. On Solitarington are held the [[mysteries]] of the [[intimate]] [[association]] of numerous unrevealed orders with the spirits of the Father, of the Son, and of the Spirit, with the threefold spirit of the [[Trinity]], and with the spirits of [[the Supreme]], the [[Ultimate]], and the [[Supreme-Ultimate]].

13:1.19 6. SERAPHINGTON. This sphere is the "bosom of the Son and the Spirit" and is the [[home]] world of the vast hosts of unrevealed beings created by [[the Son]] and [[the Spirit]]. This is also the [[destiny]] sphere of all ministering orders of the angelic hosts, including [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_26#26:2._THE_MIGHTY_SUPERNAPHIM supernaphim], [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_28#28:3._THE_SECONAPHIM seconaphim], and [[seraphim]]. There also serve in the central and outlying universes many orders of superb spirits who are not "ministering spirits to those who shall be heirs of salvation."[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Letter_to_the_Hebrews#The_Letter_to_the_Hebrews.2C_I] All these spirit workers in all levels and realms of universe activities look upon Seraphington as their Paradise home.

13:1.20 The secrets of Seraphington involve a threefold mystery, only one of which I may mention—the [[mystery]] of [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_39#39:2._SUPERIOR_SERAPHIM seraphic transport](39:2.10). The ability of various orders of seraphim and allied spirit beings to envelop within their spirit forms all orders of nonmaterial personalities and to carry them away on lengthy interplanetary [[journeys]], is a secret locked up in the sacred sectors of Seraphington. The transport seraphim comprehend this mystery, but they do not [[communicate]] it to the rest of us, or perhaps they cannot. The other mysteries of Seraphington pertain to the personal experiences of types of spirit servers as yet not revealed to mortals. And we refrain from discussing the secrets of such closely related beings because you can almost comprehend such near orders of existence, and it would be akin to betrayal of trust to present even our partial knowledge of such phenomena.

13:1.21 7. ASCENDINGTON. This unique world is the " bosom of the Father, Son, and Spirit, " the rendezvous of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40 ascendant creatures of space], the receiving sphere of the [[pilgrims]] of [[time]] who are passing through the [[Havona]] universe on their way to [[Paradise]]. Ascendington is the actual Paradise [[home]] of the [[ascendant]] [[souls]] of [[time and space]] until they attain Paradise status. You mortals will spend most of your [[Havona]] "vacations" on Ascendington. During your Havona life, Ascendington will be to you what the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_48#48:4._THE_REVERSION_DIRECTORS reversion directors] were during the [[Local Universe|local]] and [[superuniverse]] ascension. Here you will engage in thousands of activities which are beyond the grasp of mortal [[imagination]]. And as on every previous advance in the Godward ascent, your [[Personality|human self]] will here enter into new [[relationships]] with your [[Identity|divine self]].

13:1.22 The secrets of Ascendington include the [[mystery]] of the [[gradual]] and certain building up in the [[material]] and [[mortal]] [[mind]] of a [[spiritual]] and [[potentially]] [[immortal]] counterpart of [[character]] and [[identity]]. This [[phenomenon]] constitutes one of the most perplexing [[mysteries]] of the [[universes]]—the [[evolution]] of an immortal [[soul]] within the mind of a mortal and material creature.

13:1.23 You will never fully [[understand]] this mysterious transaction until you reach Ascendington. And that is just why all Ascendington will be open to your [[wondering]] gaze. One seventh of Ascendington is forbidden to me—that sector concerned with this very [[secret]] which is (or will be) the exclusive [[experience]] and possession of your [[type]] of [[being]]. This experience belongs to your human order of [[existence]]. My order of personality is not directly concerned with such transactions. It is therefore forbidden to me and eventually revealed to you. But even after it is revealed to you, for some reason it forever remains your secret. You do not reveal it to us nor to any other order of beings. We know about the eternal [[fusion]] of a [[divine Adjuster]] and an [[immortal]] [[soul]] of [[human]] [[origin]], but the ascendant [[finaliters]] know this very experience as an [[absolute]] [[reality]].
