==33:1. MICHAEL OF NEBADON==   

33:1.1 Our [[Creator Son]] is the [[personification]] of the 611,121st [[original]] [[concept]] of [[infinite]] [[identity]] of [[simultaneous]] origin in the [[Universal Father]] and the [[Eternal Son]]. The [[Michael]] of [[Nebadon]] is the "only-begotten Son"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1st_Letter_of_John#1st_Letter_of_John.2C_IV] [[personalizing]] this 611,121st [[universal]] [[concept]] of [[divinity]] and [[infinity]]. His [[headquarters]] is in the threefold mansion of  on [[Salvington]]. And this [[Home|dwelling]] is so ordered because Michael has [[experienced]] the living of all [[three]] [[phases]] of [[intelligent]] [[creature]] [[existence]]: [[spiritual]], [[morontial]], and [[material]]. Because of the name [[associated]] with his [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_120 seventh and final bestowal on Urantia], he is sometimes spoken of as [[Christ]] [[Michael]].

33:1.2 Our [[Creator Son]] is not the [[Eternal Son]], the [[existential]] [[Paradise]] [[associate]] of the [[Universal Father]] and the [[Infinite Spirit]]. Michael of Nebadon is not a member of the [[Paradise Trinity]]. Nevertheless our [[Master Son]] [[possesses]] in his realm all of the [[divine]] [[attributes]] and [[powers]] that the [[Eternal Son]] himself would [[manifest]] were he [[actually]] to be present on [[Salvington]] and [[functioning]] in [[Nebadon]]. Michael possesses even additional [[power]] and [[authority]], for he not only [[personifies]] the [[Eternal Son]] but also fully [[represents]] and actually [[embodies]] the [[personality]] [[presence]] of the [[Universal Father]] to and in this [[local universe]]. He even [[represents]] the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_105_-_Deity_and_Reality#105:2._THE_I_AM_AS_TRIUNE_AND_AS_SEVENFOLD Father-Son (105:2.7)]. These [[relationships]] [[constitute]] a [[Creator Son]] the most [[powerful]], [[versatile]], and [[influential]] of all [[divine]] [[beings]] who are capable of direct [[administration]] of [[evolutionary]] [[universes]] and of [[personality]] contact with [[Maturity|immature]] [[creature]] [[beings]].

33:1.3 Our [[Creator Son]] exerts the same [[spiritual]] drawing [[power]], [[spirit]] [[gravity]], from the [[headquarters]] of the [[local universe]] that the [[Eternal Son]] of [[Paradise]] would exert if he were [[personally]] present on [[Salvington]], and more; this [[Master Son|Universe Son]] is also the [[personification]] of the [[Universal Father]] to the [[universe]] of [[Nebadon]].

33:1.5 In the [[person]] of the [[Creator Son]] we have a [[ruler]] and [[divine]] [[parent]] who is just as mighty, [[efficient]], and [[beneficent]] as would be the [[Universal Father]] and the [[Eternal Son]] if both were present on [[Salvington]] and engaged in the [[administration]] of the affairs of the [[universe]] of [[Nebadon]].

33:2.1 [[Observation]] of [[Creator Sons]] discloses that some resemble more [[the Father]], some [[the Son]], while others are a blend of both their [[infinite]] [[parents]]. Our [[Creator Son]] very definitely [[manifests]] traits and [[attributes]] which more resemble the [[Eternal Son]].

33:2.2 [[Michael]] elected to [[organize]] this [[local universe]], and herein he now reigns [[supreme]]. His [[personal]] [[power]] is [[limited]] by the pre-existent [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Foreword#VI._ENERGY_AND_PATTERN gravity circuits] [[centering]] at [[Paradise]] and by the reservation on the part of the [[Ancients of Days]] of the [[superuniverse]] [[government]] of all final [[executive]] [[judgments]] regarding the [[extinction]] of [[personality]].

33:2.4 This subordination of the [[Divine Ministers]] to the [[Creator Sons]] of the [[local universes]] [[constitutes]] these [[Master Sons]] the [[personal]] repositories of the [[finitely]] [[manifestable]] [[divinity]] of [[the Father]], [[Eternal Son|Son]], and [[Infinite Spirit|Spirit]], while the [[creature]]-[[bestowal]] [[experiences]] of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_21 the Michaels] qualify them to portray the experiential [[divinity]] of the [[Supreme Being]]. No other [[beings]] in the [[universes]] have thus [[personally]] exhausted the [[potentials]] of present [[finite]] [[experience]], and no other [[beings]] in the [[universes]] [[possess]] such qualifications for solitary [[sovereignty]].

33:2.5 Although [[Michael]]'s [[headquarters]] is officially located on [[Salvington]], the capital of [[Nebadon]], he spends much of his [[time]] visiting the [[constellation]] and [[the System|system]] headquarters and even the [[individual]] [[planets]]. Periodically he [[journeys]] to [[Paradise]] and often to [[Uversa]], where he [[counsels]] with the [[Ancients of Days]]. When he is away from [[Salvington]], his place is assumed by [[Gabriel]], who then [[functions]] as regent of the [[universe]] of [[Nebadon]].

33:3.1 While pervading all the [[universes]] of [[time and space]], the [[Infinite Spirit]] [[functions]] from the [[headquarters]] of each [[local universe]] as a specialized [[focalization]] acquiring full [[personality]] qualities by the [[technique]] of [[creative]] [[co-operation]] with the [[Creator Son]]. As concerns a [[local universe]], the [[administrative]] [[authority]] of a [[Creator Son]] is [[supreme]]; the [[Infinite Spirit]], as the [[Divine Minister]], is wholly [[co-operative]] though perfectly co-ordinate.

33:3.6 After this [[pledge]] of subordination by the Creative [[Mother Spirit]], [[Michael]] of Nebadon [[nobly]] acknowledged his [[eternal]] dependence on his Spirit companion, constituting the Spirit co-ruler of his [[universe]] domains and requiring all their [[creatures]] to pledge themselves in [[loyalty]] to [[Mother Spirit|the Spirit]] as they had to [[Creator Son|the Son]]; and there issued and went forth the final "Proclamation of Equality." Though he was the [[sovereign]] of this [[local universe]], the Son published to the worlds the [[fact]] of the Spirit's [[equality]] with him in all [[endowments]] of [[personality]] and [[attributes]] of [[divine]] [[character]].

This is, in [[deed]] and in [[truth]], the high [[ideal]] of the [[family]] and the [[human]] [[institution]] of voluntary [[marriage]].

33:3.7 The [[Creator Son|Son]] and the [[Mother Spirit|Spirit]] now preside over the [[universe]] much as a [[father]] and [[mother]] watch over, and minister to, their [[family]] of [[Children|sons and daughters]].

==33:8. THE LEGISLATIVE AND EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS==     

33:8.1 On Salvington, the headquarters of Nebadon, there are no true legislative bodies. The universe headquarters worlds are concerned largely with adjudication. The legislative assemblies of the local universe are located on the headquarters of the one hundred constellations. The systems are chiefly concerned with the executive and administrative work of the local creations. The System Sovereigns and their associates enforce the legislative mandates of the constellation rulers and execute the judicial decrees of the high courts of the universe.

33:8.2 While true legislation is not enacted at the universe headquarters, there do function on Salvington a variety of advisory and research assemblies, variously constituted and conducted in accordance with their scope and purpose. Some are permanent; others disband upon the accomplishment of their objective.

33:8.3 The supreme council of the local universe is made up of three members from each system and seven representatives from each constellation. Systems in isolation do not have representation in this assembly, but they are permitted to send observers who attend and study all its deliberations.

33:8.5 All findings of the high universe advisory councils are referred either to the Salvington judicial bodies or to the legislative assemblies of the constellations. These high councils are without authority or power to enforce their recommendations. If their advice is founded on the fundamental laws of the universe, then will the Nebadon courts issue rulings of execution; but if their recommendations have to do with local or emergency conditions, they must pass down to the legislative assemblies of the constellation for deliberative enactment and then to the system authorities for execution. These high councils are, in reality, the universe superlegislatures, but they function without the authority of enactment and without the power of execution.
