44:0.1 Among the courtesy colonies of the various [[division]]al and [[Salvington|universe headquarters worlds]], may be found the [[unique]] order of [[composite]] [[personalities]] denominated the ''celestial artisans''. These [[beings]] are the master artists and artisans of the [[morontia]] and lower [[spirit]] realms. They are the spirits and semispirits who are engaged in [[morontia]] embellishment and in [[spiritual]] [[beautification]]. Such artisans are [[distributed]] throughout the [[grand universe]]—on the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Seven_superuniverse#15:7._THE_ARCHITECTURAL_SPHERES headquarters worlds] of the [[superuniverses]], the [[local universes]], the [[constellations]], and [[the System|systems]], as well as on all [[spheres]] settled in [[light and life]]; but their chief realm of [[activity]] is in the [[constellations]] and especially on the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Constellation#PAPER_43:_THE_CONSTELLATIONS seven hundred seventy worlds] surrounding each [[Edentia|headquarters sphere]].

44:0.8 All these [[activities]] of the [[morontia]] and [[spirit]] worlds are real. To [[spirit]] [[beings]] the spirit world is a [[reality]]. To us the [[material]] world is the more unreal. The higher [[forms]] of [[spirits]] freely pass through ordinary [[matter]]. High spirits are [[reactive]] to nothing [[material]] excepting certain of the basic [[energies]]. To [[material]] [[beings]] the spirit world is more or less unreal; to spirit beings the material world is almost entirely unreal, being merely a [[shadow]] of the substance of spirit [[realities]].

This [[material]] building is not exactly real to me, a [[spirit]] [[being]], but it is, of course, very real and very serviceable to [[material]] [[mortals]].

44:0.10 There are certain [[types]] of [[beings]] who are capable of [[discerning]] the [[reality]] of the [[creatures]] of both the [[spirit]] and the [[material]] worlds. Belonging to this [[class]] are the so-called fourth creatures of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_25#25:1._THE_HAVONA_SERVITALS Havona Servitals] and the fourth creatures of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_25#25:2._THE_UNIVERSAL_CONCILIATORS conciliators]. The [[angels]] of [[time and space]] are [[endowed]] with the [[ability]] to [[discern]] both [[spirit]] and [[material]] [[beings]] as also are the [[ascending mortals]] subsequent to [[Death|deliverance from the life in the flesh]]. After [[attainment]] of the higher [[spirit]] [[levels]] the ascenders are able to recognize [[material]], [[morontia]], and [[spirit]] [[realities]].

44:0.11 There is also here with me a [[Mighty Messenger]] from [[Uversa]], an ascendant [[Adjuster-fused]], onetime [[mortal]] [[being]], and he [[perceives]] you as you are, and at the same time he [[visualizes]] the [[Solitary Messenger]], the [[supernaphim]], and other [[celestial]] [[beings]] present. Never in your long [[ascendancy]] will you lose the [[power]] to [[recognize]] your [[associates]] of [[Past|former]] [[existences]]. Always, as you [[ascend]] inward in the [[scale]] of [[life]], will you retain the [[ability]] to recognize and fraternize with the fellow beings of your previous and lower [[levels]] of [[experience]]. Each new [[translation]] or [[resurrection]] will add one more [[group]] of [[spirit]] [[beings]] to your [[vision]] range without in the least depriving you of the [[ability]] to [[recognize]] your [[friends]] and fellows of [[Past|former]] estates.

==44:1. THE CELESTIAL MUSICIANS==     

44:1.1 With the limited range of [[mortal]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Senses#Audition hearing], you can hardly [[conceive]] of [[morontia]] [[melodies]]. There is even a [[material]] range of [[beautiful]] [[sound]] unrecognized by the [[human]] [[sense]] of hearing, not to mention the inconceivable scope of [[morontia]] and [[spirit]] [[harmony]]. Spirit melodies are not [[material]] [[sound]] [[waves]] but spirit [[pulsation]]s [[received]] by the spirits of [[celestial]] [[personalities]]. There is a vastness of range and a [[soul]] of [[expression]], as well as a grandeur of [[execution]], [[associated]] with the [[melody]] of the [[spheres]], that are wholly beyond [[human]] [[comprehension]]. I have seen millions of enraptured [[beings]] held in [[sublime]] [[ecstasy]] while the [[melody]] of the realm rolled in upon the [[spirit]] [[energy]] of the [[celestial]] [[circuits]]. These [[marvelous]] [[melodies]] can be [[broadcast]] to the uttermost parts of a [[universe]].

44:1.2 The [[celestial]] [[musician]]s are occupied with the production of [[celestial]] [[harmony]] by the [[manipulation]] of the following [[spirit]] [[forces]]:

44:1.4 [[Harmony]], the [[music]] of the [[seven]] [[levels]] of melodious [[association]], is the one [[universal]] code of [[spirit]] [[communication]]. [[Music]], such as [[Urantia]] [[mortals]] [[understand]], [[attains]] its highest [[expression]] in the schools of [[Jerusem]], the [[system headquarters]], where semimaterial [[beings]] are taught the [[harmonies]] of [[sound]]. [[Mortals]] do not [[react]] to the other [[forms]] of [[morontia]] [[melody]] and [[celestial]] [[harmony]].

44:1.5 [[Appreciation]] of [[music]] on [[Urantia]] is both [[physical]] and [[spiritual]]; and your [[human]] musicians have done much to elevate musical [[taste]] from the barbarous monotony of your early [[ancestors]] to the higher levels of [[sound]] [[appreciation]]. The [[majority]] of [[Urantia]] [[mortals]] react to [[music]] so largely with the material muscles and so slightly with the [[mind]] and [[spirit]]; but there has been a steady improvement in musical [[appreciation]] for more than [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_76#76:4._THE_VIOLET_RACE thirty-five thousand years].

44:1.6 Tuneful syncopation [[represents]] a [[transition]] from the musical monotony of [[primitive]] man to the [[expression]]ful [[harmony]] and [[meaningful]] melodies of your later-day musicians. These earlier [[types]] of [[rhythm]] stimulate the [[reaction]] of the music-loving sense without entailing the exertion of the higher [[intellectual]] [[powers]] of [[harmony]] [[appreciation]] and thus more generally appeal to immature or spiritually indolent [[individuals]].

44:2.1 [[Mortal]] [[man]] can hardly [[hope]] for more than a meager and distorted [[concept]] of the [[functions]] of the [[heavenly]] reproducers, which I must attempt to [[illustrate]] through the gross and limited [[symbolism]] of your [[material]] [[language]]. The [[spirit]]-[[morontia]] world has a thousand and one [[things]] of [[supreme]] [[value]], things [[worthy]] of reproduction but [[unknown]] on [[Urantia]], [[experiences]] that belong in the category of the [[activities]] which have hardly "entered into the mind of man,"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1st_Letter_of_Paul_to_the_Corinthians#1st_Letter_of_Paul_to_the_Corinthians.2C_II] those [[realities]] which [[God]] has in waiting for those who [[survive]] the life in the [[flesh]].

44:3.2 1. ''The [[home]] [[designers]] and builders'' —those who construct and remodel the abodes assigned to [[individuals]] and working [[groups]]. These [[morontia]] and [[spirit]] domiciles are [[real]]. They would be [[invisible]] to your short-range [[vision]], but they are very real and [[beautiful]] to us. To a certain extent, all [[spirit]] [[beings]] may [[share]] with the builders certain details of the [[planning]] and [[creation]] of their [[morontia]] or [[spirit]] abodes. These [[homes]] are fitted up and embellished in [[accordance]] with the needs of the [[morontia]] or of the [[spirit]] [[creatures]] who are to inhabit them. There is [[abundant]] [[variety]] and ample [[opportunity]] for [[individual]] [[expression]] in all these constructions.

44:3.3 2. ''The [[vocation]] builders'' —those who [[function]] in [[designing]] and assembling the abodes of the regular and routine workers of the [[spirit]] and [[morontia]] realms. These builders are comparable to those who construct the [[Urantia]] workshops and other industrial plants. The [[transition]] worlds have a [[necessary]] [[economy]] of [[mutual]] [[ministry]] and specialized division of [[labor]]. We do not all do [[everything]]; there is [[diversity]] of [[function]] among [[morontia]] [[beings]] and [[evolving]] [[spirits]], and these vocation builders not only build better workshops but also [[contribute]] to the vocational enhancement of the worker.

44:3.4 3. ''The [[play]] builders''. Enormous edifices are utilized during the [[seasons]] of [[rest]], what [[mortals]] would call recreation and, in a certain sense, [[play]]. [[Provision]] is made for a suitable setting for the [[reversion directors]], the [[humorists]] of the [[morontia worlds]], those [[transition]] [[spheres]] whereon takes place the [[training]] of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#PAPER_40:_THE_ASCENDING_SONS_OF_GOD ascendant beings] but recently removed from the [[evolutionary planets]]. Even the higher [[spirits]] engage in a certain [[form]] of [[reminiscent]] [[humor]] during their periods of [[spiritual]] recharging.

44:3.5 4. ''The [[worship]] builders'' - the [[experienced]] [[architects]] of the [[spirit]] and the [[morontia temples]]. All the worlds of [[mortal]] [[ascent]] have [[temples]] of [[worship]], and they are the most exquisite [[creations]] of the [[morontia]] realms and the [[spirit]] [[spheres]].

44:3.6 5. ''The [[education]] builders'' —those who build the [[headquarters]] of [[morontia]] [[training]] and advanced [[spirit]] [[learning]]. Always is the way open to acquire more [[knowledge]], to gain additional [[information]] respecting one's [[present]] and [[future]] [[work]] as well as [[universal]] [[cultural]] [[knowledge]], [[information]] [[designed]] to make [[ascending mortals]] more [[intelligent]] and [[effective]] [[citizens]] of the [[morontia]] and [[spirit]] worlds.

44:3.7 6. ''[[Morontia]] planners'' —those who build for the [[co-ordinate]] [[association]] of all the [[personalities]] of all realms as they are at any one time [[present]] on any one [[sphere]]. These planners [[collaborate]] with the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_48#48:2._MORONTIA_POWER_SUPERVISORS Morontia Power Supervisors] to enrich the [[co-ordination]] of the [[progressive]] [[morontia]] life.

44:3.8 7. ''The [[public]] builders'' —the [[artisans]] who plan and construct the designated places of assembly other than those of [[worship]]. Great and [[magnificent]] are the places of common assembly.

44:4.2 1. ''[[Thought]] preservers''. These are the [[artisans]] dedicated to the [[preservation]] of the higher [[thought]] of the realms. On the [[morontia worlds]] they truly [[treasure]] the [[gems]] of mentation. Before first coming to [[Urantia]], I saw [[records]] and heard [[broadcasts]] of the ideation of some of the great [[minds]] of this [[planet]]. Thought recorders preserve such [[noble]] [[ideas]] in the tongue of [[Uversa]].

44:4.3 Each [[superuniverse]] has its own [[language]], a tongue spoken by its [[personalities]] and prevailing throughout its [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_15#15:13._THE_SECTOR_GOVERNMENTS sectors]. This is known as the tongue of [[Uversa]] in our [[superuniverse]]. Each [[local universe]] also has its own [[language]]. All of the higher orders of [[Nebadon]] are bilingual, speaking both the language of Nebadon and the tongue of [[Uversa]]. When two [[individuals]] from different [[local universes]] meet, they [[communicate]] in the tongue of [[Uversa]]; if, however, one of them hails from another [[superuniverse]], they must have recourse to a [[translator]]. In the [[central universe]] there is little need of a [[language]]; there exists [[perfect]] and well-nigh complete [[understanding]]; there, only [[the Gods]] are not fully [[comprehended]].

44:4.4 The [[ability]] to [[translate]] [[thought]] into [[language]] in the [[morontia]] and [[spirit]] [[spheres]] is beyond [[mortal]] [[comprehension]]. Our rate of reducing [[thought]] to a [[permanent]] [[record]] can be so speeded up by the expert recorders that the [[equivalent]] of over half a million [[words]], or [[thought]] [[symbols]], can be registered in one minute of [[Urantia]] [[time]]. These [[universe]] [[languages]] are far more replete than the [[speech]] of the [[evolving worlds]]. The [[concept]] [[symbols]] of [[Uversa]] [[embrace]] more than a billion characters, although the basic [[alphabet]] contains only seventy [[symbols]]. The [[language]] of [[Nebadon]] is not quite so elaborate, the basic [[symbols]], or [[alphabet]], being forty-eight in [[number]].

44:5.1 These interesting and [[effective]] [[artisans]] are concerned with every kind of [[energy]]: [[physical]], [[mindal]], and [[spiritual]].

44:5.2 1. ''[[Physical]]-[[energy]] manipulators''. The physical-energy manipulators serve for long periods with the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_29 power directors] and are experts in the [[manipulation]] and [[control]] of many [[phases]] of [[physical]] [[energy]].

They are the [[persistent]] [[students]] of the [[cosmic]] [[projections]] of [[Paradise]].

44:5.3 2. ''[[Mind]]-[[energy]] manipulators''. These are the experts of [[intercommunication]] between [[morontia]] and other [[types]] of [[intelligent]] [[beings]]. This [[form]] of [[communication]] between [[mortals]] is [[practically]] nonexistent on [[Urantia]]. These are the specialists who promote the [[ability]] of the [[ascending]] [[morontia]] [[beings]] to [[communicate]] with one another, and their [[work]] [[embraces]] numerous [[unique]] [[adventures]] in [[intellect]] [[liaison]] which are far beyond my [[power]] to portray to the [[material]] [[mind]].

44:5.4 3. ''[[Spiritual]]-[[energy]] manipulators''. The [[manipulators]] of [[spiritual]] [[energy]] are an [[intriguing]] [[group]]. [[Spiritual]] [[energy]] [[acts]] in [[accordance]] with [[established]] [[laws]], just as does [[physical]] [[energy]]. That is, [[spirit]] [[force]], when [[studied]], yields dependable [[deductions]] and can be precisely dealt with, even as can the [[physical]] [[energies]]. There are just as [[certain]] and [[reliable]] [[laws]] in the [[spirit]] world as obtain in the [[material]] realms. During the last few millions of years many improved [[techniques]] for the intake of [[spiritual]] [[energy]] have been [[effected]] by these [[students]] of the [[fundamental]] [[laws]] of the [[Eternal Son]] [[governing]] [[spirit]] [[energy]] as [[applied]] to the [[morontia]] and other [[orders]] of [[celestial]] [[beings]] throughout the [[universes]].

44:5.5 4. ''The compound manipulators''. This is the [[adventurous]] [[group]] of well-[[trained]] [[beings]] who are [[dedicated]] to the [[functional]] [[association]] of the [[three]] [[original]] [[phases]] of [[divine]] [[energy]] [[manifested]] throughout the [[universes]] as [[physical]], [[mindal]], and [[spiritual]] [[energies]]. These are the keen [[personalities]] who are in [[reality]] seeking to [[discover]] the [[universe]] [[presence]] of [[God the Supreme]], for in this [[Deity]] [[personality]] there must occur the [[experiential]] [[unification]] of all [[grand universe]] [[divinity]]. And to a certain extent, these [[artisans]] have in recent times met with some success.

They are the [[traffic]] supervisors of the [[spheres]] and are present on all [[inhabited planets]]. [[Urantia]] is served by a corps of seventy transport advisers.

44:5.7 6. ''The experts of [[communication]]''. [[Urantia]], likewise, is served by twelve [[technicians]] of interplanetary and interuniverse [[communication]]. These long-[[experienced]] [[beings]] are expert in the [[knowledge]] of the [[laws]] of transmittal and [[interference]] as [[applied]] to the [[communications]] of the realms. This corps is concerned with all [[forms]] of [[space]] messages except those of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_31_-_The_Corps_of_the_Finality#31:2._GRAVITY_MESSENGERS Gravity] and [[Solitary Messengers]].

44:5.8 7. ''The [[teachers]] of [[rest]]''. [[Divine]] [[rest]] is [[associated]] with the [[technique]] of [[spiritual]]-[[energy]] intake. [[Morontia]] and [[spirit]] [[energy]] must be replenished just as certainly as [[physical]] [[energy]], but not for the same reasons. I am, perforce, compelled to employ crude [[illustrations]] in my attempts to [[enlighten]] you; nevertheless, we of the [[spirit]] world must stop our regular [[activities]] [[periodically]] and betake ourselves to suitable places of rendezvous where we enter the [[divine]] rest and thus recuperate our depleting energies.

44:6.5 3. ''The [[emotion]] designers''. These enhancers and [[conservators]] of [[feeling]] are those who [[preserve]] the sentiments of [[morontia]] and the [[emotions]] of [[divinity]] for the [[study]] and edification of the [[children]] of [[time]] and for the [[inspiration]] and [[beautification]] of [[morontia]] [[progress]]ors and advancing [[spirits]].

This [[comparison]] of [[supernal]] [[spirit]] [[activities]] to the [[physical]] [[recognition]] of [[chemical]] [[odors]] is, indeed, unfortunate, but [[Urantia]] [[mortals]] could hardly [[recognize]] this [[ministry]] by any other [[name]]. These [[artisans]] [[create]] their varied [[symphonies]] for the edification and delight of the advancing [[children]] of [[light]]. You have nothing on [[earth]] to which this [[type]] of [[spiritual]] [[Majesty|grandeur]] can be even remotely compared.

44:6.7 5. ''The [[presence]] embellishers''. These [[artisans]] are not occupied with [[the arts]] of [[Dress|self-adornment]] or the [[technique]] of [[creature]] [[beautification]]. They are [[devoted]] to the production of multitudinous and [[joyous]] [[reactions]] in [[individual]] [[morontia]] and [[spirit]] [[creatures]] by [[dramatizing]] the significance of [[relationship]] through the positional [[values]] assigned to [[different]] [[morontia]] and [[spirit]] [[orders]] in the [[composite]] ensembles of these [[diversified]] [[beings]].

44:8.2 There are [[three]] possible [[sources]] of special [[human]] [[ability]]: At the bottom always there [[exists]] the [[natural]] or [[inherent]] [[aptitude]]. Special [[ability]] is never an [[arbitrary]] gift of the [[Gods]]; there is always an [[ancestral]] [[foundation]] for every outstanding [[talent]]. In addition to this [[natural]] [[ability]], or rather supplemental thereto, there may be [[contributed]] the leadings of the [[Thought Adjuster]] in those [[individuals]] whose indwelling [[Adjusters]] may have had [[actual]] and [[bona fide]] [[experiences]] along such lines on other worlds and in other [[mortal]] [[creatures]].

Nevertheless, those [[things]] which you so [[earnestly]] longed to do on [[earth]] and which circumstances so [[persistently]] denied you, if, after acquiring true [[mota]] [[insight]] in the [[morontia]] [[career]], you still [[desire]] to do, then will you most certainly be granted every [[opportunity]] fully to [[satisfy]] your long-cherished [[desires]].
