9:8.1 The [[Infinite Spirit]] possesses full [[power]] to transmit many of his powers and prerogatives to his [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_16#16:2._RELATION_TO_THE_INFINITE_SPIRIT co-ordinate] and [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_17 subordinate] [[personalities]] and [[agencies]].
9:8.2 The first [[Deity]]-creating act of the Infinite Spirit, functioning apart from the [[Trinity]] but in some unrevealed [[association]] with [[the Father]] and [[the Son]], [[personalized]] in the [[existence]] of the [[Seven Master Spirits]] of [[Paradise]], the [[distributors]] of the Infinite Spirit to the [[Universe of Universes|universes]].
9:8.3 There is no direct [[representative]] of the Third Source and Center on the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_15#15:7._THE_ARCHITECTURAL_SPHERES headquarters of a superuniverse]. Each of these seven creations is dependent on one of the [[Master Spirits]] of Paradise, who acts through the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_17#17:3._THE_REFLECTIVE_SPIRITS seven Reflective Spirits] situated at the [[Uversa|capital of the superuniverse]].
9:8.4 The next and continuing [[creative]] [[act]] of the Infinite Spirit is disclosed, from [[Moment|time]] to time, in the production of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_17#17:6._THE_LOCAL_UNIVERSE_CREATIVE_SPIRITS Creative Spirits]. Every time the [[Universal Father]] and the [[Eternal Son]] become [[parent]] to a Creator Son, the Infinite Spirit becomes ancestor to a [[Universe Mother Spirit|local universe Creative Spirit]] who becomes the close associate of that Creator Son in all [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_32 subsequent universe experience].
9:8.5 Just as it is [[necessary]] to distinguish between the Eternal Son and the Creator Sons, so it is necessary to [[differentiate]] between the Infinite Spirit and the Creative Spirits, the local universe co-ordinates of the Creator Sons. What the Infinite Spirit is to the [[total]] [[creation]], a [[Creative Spirit]] is to a [[local universe]].
9:8.6 The Third Source and Center is [[represented]] in the [[grand universe]] by a vast array of [[ministering spirits]], messengers, teachers, adjudicators, helpers, and advisers, together with supervisors of certain [[circuits]] of [[physical]], [[morontial]], and [[spiritual]] nature. Not all of these [[beings]] are [[personalities]] in the strict [[meaning]] of the term. Personality of the finite-creature variety is characterized by:
*1. [[Subjective]] self-[[consciousness]].
*2. [[Objective]] [[response]] to [[the Father]]'s [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_1#1:3._GOD_IS_A_UNIVERSAL_SPIRIT personality circuit].
9:8.7 There are [[creator]] personalities and [[creature]] personalities, and in addition to these two fundamental [[types]] there are personalities of the Third Source and Center, [[beings]] who are personal to the [[Infinite Spirit]], but who are not unqualifiedly [[personal]] to creature beings. These Third Source personalities are <u>not</u> a part of the Father's [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_1#1:3._GOD_IS_A_UNIVERSAL_SPIRIT personality circuit]. First Source personality and Third Source personality are mutually contactable; all personality is contactable.
9:8.8 The Father bestows personality by his personal [[free will]]. Why he does so we can only conjecture; how he does so we do not know. Neither do we know why the Third Source bestows non-Father personality, but this the Infinite Spirit does in his own behalf, in [[creative]] [[Collaboration|conjunction]] with the Eternal Son and in numerous ways unknown to you. The Infinite Spirit can <u>also</u> act for [[the Father]] in the bestowal of [[First Source and Center|First Source]] personality.
9:8.9 There are numerous [[types]] of Third Source personalities. The Infinite Spirit bestows Third Source personality upon numerous [[groups]] who are not included in the Father's personality circuit, such as certain of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_29 power directors]. Likewise does the Infinite Spirit treat as personalities numerous groups of beings, such as the [[Creative Spirits]], who are in a class by themselves in their relations to encircuited creatures of the Father.
9:8.10 Both First Source and Third Source personalities are endowed with all and more than man [[associates]] with the [[concept]] of [[personality]]; they have minds [[embracing]] [[memory]], [[reason]], [[judgment]], [[creative]] [[imagination]], [[idea]] [[association]], [[decision]], choice, and numerous additional [[powers]] of [[intellect]] wholly [[unknown]] to [[mortals]]. With few exceptions the orders revealed to you possess form and distinct [[individuality]]; they are real beings. A majority of them are visible to all orders of spirit existence.
9:8.11 Even you will be able to see your [[spiritual]] [[associates]] of the lower orders as soon as you are delivered from the limited [[vision]] of your present material eyes and have been endowed with a [[morontia]] form with its enlarged [[sensitivity]] to the [[reality]] of spiritual [[things]].
9:8.12 The [[function]]al [[family]] of the [[Third Source and Center]], as it is revealed in these [[narratives]], falls into three great groups:
I. 9:8.13 The [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_17 Supreme Spirits]. A group of composite [[origin]] that [[embraces]], among others, the following orders:
*1. The [[Seven Master Spirits]] of [[Paradise]].
*2. The [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_17#17:3._THE_REFLECTIVE_SPIRITS Reflective Spirits] of the [[Superuniverses]].
*3. The [[Creative Spirits]] of the [[Local Universes]].
II. 9:8.14 The [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_29 Power Directors]. A group of [[control]] [[creatures]] and [[agencies]] that function throughout all [[Grand Universe|organized space]].
III. 9:8.15 The [[Personalities]] of the [[Infinite Spirit]]. This designation does not necessarily imply that these beings are Third Source personalities though some of them are [[unique]] as will creatures. They are usually grouped in three major classifications:
*1. The [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_24 Higher Personalities of the Infinite Spirit].
*2. The [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_25 Messenger Hosts of Space].
*3. The [[Ministering Spirits of Time]].
9:8.16 These groups serve on [[Paradise]], in the [[Havona|central or residential universe]], in the [[superuniverses]], and they embrace orders that function in the [[local universes]], even to the [[constellations]], [[Satania|systems]], and [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 planets].
9:8.17 The spirit personalities of the vast [[family]] of the Divine and [[Infinite Spirit]] are forever dedicated to the [[service]] of the ministry of the [[love]] of [[the Father|God]] and the [[mercy]] of [[the Son]] to all the intelligent [[creatures]] of the evolutionary worlds of [[time and space]]. These spirit beings constitute the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Genesis#Chapter_.28 living ladder] whereby [[mortal]] man climbs from [[chaos]] to [[glory]].
