44:4.1 These [[artisans]] are [[devoted]] to the [[preservation]] and reproduction of the superior [[thought]] of the realms, and they [[function]] in [[seven]] [[groups]]:
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]]. We are taught that a [[chance]] meeting on [[Paradise]] reveals more of [[mutual]] [[understanding]] than could be [[communicated]] by a [[mortal]] [[language]] in a [[thousand years]]. Even on [[Salvington]] we "know as we are known."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1st_Letter_of_Paul_to_the_Corinthians#1st_Letter_of_Paul_to_the_Corinthians.2C_XIII]
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]].
44:4.5 2. ''[[Concept]] recorders''. This second [[group]] of recorders are concerned with the [[preservation]] of [[concept]] [[pictures]], [[idea]] [[patterns]]. This is a [[form]] of [[permanent]] recording [[unknown]] on the [[material]] realms, and by this [[method]] I could gain more [[knowledge]] in one hour of your [[time]] than you could gain in one hundred years of perusing ordinary [[written]] [[language]].
44:4.6 3.''Ideograph recorders''. We have the [[equivalent]] of both your [[written]] and [[spoken]] [[word]], but in preserving [[thought]], we usually employ [[concept]] [[picturization]] and [[ideograph]] [[techniques]]. Those who preserve ideographs are able to improve one thousandfold upon the [[work]] of the concept recorders.
44:4.7 4. ''Promoters of oratory''. This [[group]] of recorders are occupied with the task of [[preserving]] [[thought]] for reproduction by [[oratory]]. But in the [[language]] of [[Nebadon]] we could, in a half hour's address, cover the subject matter of the entire lifetime of a [[Urantia]] [[mortal]]. Your only [[hope]] of [[comprehending]] these [[transactions]] is to pause and consider the [[technique]] of your disordered and garbled [[dream]] life—how you can in a few seconds [[traverse]] years of [[experience]] in these [[fantasies]] of the [[Sleep|night season]].
44:4.8 The [[oratory]] of the [[spirit]] world is one of the rare treats which await you who have heard only the crude and stumbling orations of [[Urantia]]. There is [[harmony]] of [[music]] and [[euphony]] of [[expression]] in the orations of [[Salvington]] and [[Edentia]] which are [[inspiring]] beyond description. These burning [[concepts]] are like [[gems]] of [[beauty]] in diadems of [[glory]]. But I cannot do it! I cannot convey to the [[human]] [[mind]] the breadth and depth of these [[realities]] of another world!
44:4.9 5. ''The [[broadcast]] directors''. The [[broadcasts]] of [[Paradise]], the [[superuniverses]], and the [[local universes]] are under the general supervision of this [[group]] of [[thought]] conservers. They serve as [[censors]] and [[editors]] as well as [[co-ordinators]] of the broadcast [[material]], making a [[superuniverse]] [[adaptation]] of all [[Paradise]] [[broadcasts]] and adapting and [[translating]] the broadcasts of the [[Ancients of Days]] into the [[individual]] tongues of the [[local universes]].
44:4.10 The [[local universe]] [[broadcasts]] must also be [[modified]] for [[reception]] by [[the systems]] and the [[individual planets]]. The [[transmittal]] of these [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_26_-_Ministering_Spirits_of_the_Central_Universe#26:3._THE_TERTIARY_SUPERNAPHIM space reports] is carefully supervised, and there is always a back registry to [[insure]] the proper [[reception]] of every report on every world in a given [[circuit]]. These broadcast directors are technically expert in the utilization of the [[currents]] of [[space]] for all [[purposes]] of [[intelligence]] [[communication]].
44:4.11 6. ''The [[rhythm]] recorders''. [[Urantia]]ns would undoubtedly [[denominate]] these [[artisans]] [[poets]], although their [[work]] is very [[different]] from, and almost [[infinitely]] [[transcends]], your poetic productions. [[Rhythm]] is less exhausting to both [[morontia]] and [[spirit]] [[beings]], and so an [[effort]] is frequently made to increase [[efficiency]], as well as to augment [[pleasure]], by [[executing]] numerous [[functions]] in [[rhythmic]] [[form]]. I only wish you might be [[privileged]] to hear some of the poetic [[broadcasts]] of the [[Edentia]] assemblies and to [[enjoy]] the richness of the [[color]] and [[tone]] of the [[constellation]] [[geniuses]] who are masters of this exquisite [[form]] of self-[[expression]] and [[social]] [[harmonization]].
44:4.12 7. ''The [[morontia]] recorders''. I am at a loss to know how to depict to the [[material]] [[mind]] the [[function]] of this important [[group]] of thought recorders assigned to the [[work]] of [[preserving]] the ensemble [[pictures]] of the various groupings of [[morontia]] affairs and [[spirit]] [[transactions]]; crudely [[illustrated]], they are the group [[photographers]] of the [[transition]] worlds. They save for the [[future]] the vital scenes and [[associations]] of these [[progressive]] [[epochs]], preserving them in the [[archives]] of the [[morontia]] halls of [[records]].
