28:4.1 The ''primary seconaphim'', of assignment to the [[Ancients of Days]], are living [[mirrors]] in the [[service]] of these triune rulers. [[Think]] what it means in the [[economy]] of a [[superuniverse]] to be able to turn, as it were, to a living [[mirror]] and therein to see and therewith to hear the certain [[responses]] of another [[being]] a thousand or a hundred thousand [[light-years]] distant and to do all this instantly and unerringly. [[Records]] are [[essential]] to the [[conduct]] of the [[universes]], [[broadcasts]] are serviceable, the work of the [[Solitary Messengers|Solitary]] and other [[messengers]] is very helpful, but the [[Ancients of Days]] from their position midway between the [[inhabited worlds]] and [[Paradise]]—between [[man]] and [[God]]—can instantly look both ways, hear both ways, and [[know]] both ways.
28:4.2 This [[ability]]—to [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Senses#Audition hear] and [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Senses#Vision see], as it were, [[all things]]—can be [[perfectly]] [[realized]] in the [[superuniverses]] only by the [[Ancients of Days]] and only on their respective [[headquarters]] worlds. Even there [[limits]] are encountered: From [[Uversa]], such [[communication]] is limited to the worlds and [[universes]] of [[Orvonton]], and while inoperative between [[the superuniverses]], this same [[reflective]] [[technique]] keeps each one of them in close [[touch]] with the [[central universe]] and with [[Paradise]]. The seven [[supergovernments]], though [[individually]] [[segregated]], are thus perfectly [[reflective]] of the [[authority]] above and are wholly [[sympathetic]], as well as perfectly conversant, with the needs below.
28:4.3 The ''primary seconaphim'' are found to incline by [[inherent]] [[nature]] towards [[seven]] [[types]] of [[service]], and it is befitting that the first serials of this order should be so [[endowed]] as [[inherently]] to [[interpret]] the [[mind]] of the [[Infinite Spirit|Spirit]] to the [[Ancients of Days]]:
28:4.4 1. ''The Voice of the Conjoint Actor''. In each [[superuniverse]] the first ''primary seconaphim'' and every seventh one of that order subsequently created [[exhibit]] a high order of [[adaptability]] for [[understanding]] and [[interpreting]] the [[mind]] of the [[Infinite Spirit]] to the [[Ancients of Days]] and their [[associates]] in the [[supergovernments]]. This is of great [[value]] on the [[headquarters]] of [[the superuniverses]], for, unlike the [[local creations]] with their [[Divine Ministers]], the seat of a [[supergovernment]] does not have a specialized [[personalization]] of the [[Infinite Spirit]]. Hence these secoraphic [[voices]] come the nearest to [[being]] the [[personal]] [[representatives]] of the [[Third Source and Center]] on such a capital [[sphere]]. True, the seven [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_17#17:3._THE_REFLECTIVE_SPIRITS Reflective Spirits] are there, but these [[mothers]] of the secoraphic hosts are less truly and [[automatically]] [[reflective]] of the [[Conjoint Actor]] than of the [[Seven Master Spirits]].
28:4.5 2. ''The Voice of the Seven Master Spirits''. The second primary seconaphim and every seventh one thereafter created incline towards portraying the collective natures and reactions of the Seven Master Spirits. Though each Master Spirit is already represented on a superuniverse capital by some one of the seven Reflective Spirits of assignment, such representation is individual, not collective. Collectively, they are only reflectively present; therefore do the Master Spirits welcome the services of these highly personal angels, the second serials of the primary seconaphim, who are so competent to represent them before the Ancients of Days.
28:4.6 3. ''The Voice of the Creator Sons''. The [[Infinite Spirit]] must have had something to do with the [[creation]] or [[training]] of the [[Paradise Sons]] of the [[Creator Sons|order of Michael]], for the third primary seconaphim and every seventh serial thereafter [[possess]] the remarkable gift of [[being]] [[reflective]] of the [[minds]] of these [[Creator Sons]]. If the [[Ancients of Days]] would like to [[know]]—really know—the [[attitude]] of [[Michael]] of [[Nebadon]] regarding some matter under consideration, they do not have to call him on the [[Circuits|lines]] of [[space]]; they need only call for the ''Chief of Nebadon Voices'', who, upon request, will present the Michael seconaphim of [[record]]; and right then and there the [[Ancients of Days]] will [[perceive]] the voice of the [[Master Son]] of [[Nebadon]].
28:4.7 No other order of sonship is thus "reflectible," and no other order of [[angel]] can thus [[function]]. We do not fully [[understand]] just how this is accomplished, and I [[doubt]] very much that the [[Creator Sons]] themselves fully [[understand]] it. But of a [[certainty]] we know it [[work]]s, and that it unfailingly works acceptably we also [[know]], for in all the [[history]] of [[Uversa]] the secoraphic voices have never [[erred]] in their presentations.
28:4.8 You are here beginning to see something of the [[manner]] in which [[divinity]] [[encompasses]] the [[space]] of [[time]] and masters the time of space. You are here obtaining one of your first fleeting [[Vision|glimpses]] of the [[technique]] of the [[eternity]] [[cycle]], divergent for the [[moment]] to [[assist]] the [[children]] of [[time]] in their tasks of mastering the [[difficult]] [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handicap handicaps] of [[space]]. And these [[phenomena]] are [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addition additional] to the established [[universe]] [[technique]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_17#17:3._THE_REFLECTIVE_SPIRITS Reflective Spirits].
28:4.9 Though [[apparently]] deprived of the [[personal]] [[presence]] of the [[Master Spirits]] above and of the [[Creator Sons]] below, the [[Ancients of Days]] have at their command living [[beings]] [[attuned]] to [[cosmic]] [[mechanisms]] of [[reflective]] [[perfection]] and [[ultimate]] precision whereby they may enjoy the [[reflective]] [[presence]] of all those exalted [[beings]] whose [[personal]] [[presence]] is denied them. By and through these means, and others [[unknown]] to you, [[God]] is [[potentially]] present on the [[headquarters]] of the [[superuniverses]].
28:4.10 The [[Ancients of Days]] perfectly [[deduce]] the Father's will by [[Equation|equating]] the [[Infinite Spirit|Spirit]] [[voice]]-flash from above and the [[Creator Sons|Michael]] [[voice]]-flashes from below. Thus may they be unerringly certain in [[calculating]] [[the Father]]'s [[Free will|will]] concerning the [[administrative]] affairs of the [[local universes]]. But to [[deduce]] the will of one of [[the Gods]] from a [[knowledge]] of the other two, the three [[Ancients of Days]] must act [[together]]; two would not be able to [[achieve]] the answer. And for this reason, even were there no others, [[the superuniverses]] are always presided over by three [[Ancients of Days]], and not by one or even two.
28:4.11 4. ''The Voice of the Angelic Hosts''. The fourth primary seconaphim and every seventh serial prove to be [[angels]] peculiarly [[responsive]] to the sentiments of all orders of [[angels]], including the [[supernaphim]] above and the [[seraphim]] below. Thus the [[attitude]] of any commanding or supervising [[angel]] is [[immediately]] available for consideration at any council of the [[Ancients of Days]]. Never a day passes on your world that the chief of seraphim on [[Urantia]] is not made [[conscious]] of the [[phenomenon]] of [[reflective]] transference, of being drawn upon from [[Uversa]] for some [[purpose]]; but unless forewarned by a [[Solitary Messenger]], she remains wholly ignorant of what is sought and of how it is secured. These [[ministering spirits]] of [[time]] are constantly furnishing this sort of [[unconscious]] and certainly, therefore, unprejudiced [[testimony]] concerning the endless array of matters engaging the [[attention]] and [[counsel]] of the [[Ancients of Days]] and their [[associates]].
28:4.12 5. ''Broadcast Receivers''. There is a special class of [[broadcast]] [[messages]] which are received only by these primary seconaphim. While they are not the regular broadcasters of [[Uversa]], they [[work]] in [[liaison]] with the [[angels]] of the [[reflective]] [[voices]] for the [[purpose]] of [[synchronizing]] the [[reflective]] [[vision]] of the [[Ancients of Days]] with certain actual [[messages]] coming in over the established [[circuits]] of [[universe]] [[communication]]. Broadcast receivers are the fifth serials, the fifth primary seconaphim to be created and every seventh one thereafter.
28:4.13 6. ''Transport Personalities''. These are the seconaphim who carry the [[pilgrims]] of [[time]] from the [[headquarters]] worlds of the [[superuniverses]] to the outer circle of [[Havona]]. They are the transport corps of [[the superuniverses]], operating inward to [[Paradise]] and outward to [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 the worlds] of their [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_15#15:13._THE_SECTOR_GOVERNMENTS respective sectors]. This corps is [[composed]] of the sixth primary seconaphim and every seventh one subsequently created.
28:4.14 7. ''The Reserve Corps''. A very large group of seconaphim, the seventh primary serials, are held in reserve for the unclassified [[duties]] and the [[emergency]] assignments of the realms. Not being highly specialized, they can [[function]] fairly well in any of the capacities of their [[diverse]] [[associates]], but such specialized work is undertaken only in [[emergencies]]. Their usual tasks are the [[performance]] of those generalized [[duties]] of a [[superuniverse]] which do not fall within the scope of the angels of specific assignment.
