19:4.1 There are exactly eight billion Universal Censors in [[existence]]. These [[unique]] [[beings]] are the [[judgment]] of [[Deity]]. They are not merely [[reflective]] of the decisions of [[perfection]]; they '''are''' the judgment of the [[Paradise Trinity]]. Even the [[Ancients of Days]] do not sit in judgment except in [[association]] with the Universal Censors.
19:4.2 One Censor is commissioned on each of the billion worlds of the [[central universe]], being attached to the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_18#18:2._THE_ETERNALS_OF_DAYS planetary administration] of the resident [[Eternal of Days]]. Neither [[Perfectors of Wisdom]] nor [[Divine Counselors]] are thus permanently attached to the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_14#14:3._THE_HAVONA_WORLDS Havona administrations], nor do we altogether understand why Universal Censors are stationed in the [[central universe]]. Their present [[activities]] hardly account for their assignment in [[Havona]], and we therefore suspect that they are there in [[anticipation]] of the needs of some [[future]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_48_-_The_Morontia_Life#48:8._THE_MORONTIA_PROGRESSORS universe age] in which the Havona [[population]] may partially [[change]].
19:4.3 One billion Censors are assigned to each of the [[seven superuniverses]]. Both in an [[individual]] capacity and in [[association]] with [[Perfectors of Wisdom]] and [[Divine Counselors]], they operate throughout all divisions of the seven superuniverses. Thus the Censors [[act]] on all levels of the [[grand universe]], from the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_14#14:3._THE_HAVONA_WORLDS perfect worlds of Havona] to the councils of the [[System Sovereigns]], and they are an organic part of all dispensational [[adjudications]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 evolutionary worlds].
19:4.4 Whenever and wherever a Universal Censor is present, then and there is the [[judgment]] of [[Deity]]. And since the Censors always render their [[verdicts]] in [[liaison]] with [[Perfectors of Wisdom]] and [[Divine Counselors]], such [[decisions]] [[embrace]] the [[united]] [[wisdom]], [[counsel]], and [[judgment]] of the [[Paradise Trinity]]. In this juridical trio the Perfector of Wisdom would be the "[[Past|I was]]," the Divine Counselor the "[[Future|I will be]]," but the Universal Censor is always "[[Present|I am]]."
19:4.5 The Censors are [[universe]] [[totaling]] [[personalities]]. When a thousand [[witnesses]] have given [[testimony]]—or a million—when the [[voice]] of [[wisdom]] has spoken and the [[counsel]] of [[divinity]] has recorded, when the testimony of [[ascendant]] [[perfection]] has been added, then the Censor [[functions]], and there is [[immediately]] revealed an unerring and [[divine]] [[totaling]] of all that has transpired; and such a disclosure represents the [[divine]] [[conclusion]], the sum and substance of a final and perfect [[decision]]. Therefore, when a Censor has spoken, no one else may speak, for the Censor has depicted the true and unmistakable [[total]] of all that has gone before. When he speaks, there is no [[appeal]].
19:4.6 Most fully do I [[understand]] the operation of the [[mind]] of a Perfector of Wisdom, but I certainly do not fully [[comprehend]] the working of the [[adjudicating]] mind of a Universal Censor. It appears to me that the Censors formulate new [[meanings]] and [[originate]] new [[values]] from the association of the [[facts]], [[truths]], and findings presented to them in the [[course]] of an [[investigation]] of [[universe]] affairs. It seems [[probable]] that the Universal Censors are able to bring forth [[original]] [[interpretations]] of the combination of [[perfect]] [[Creator]] [[insight]] and the perfected [[creature]] [[experience]]. This [[association]] of [[Paradise]] perfection and [[universe]] [[experience]] undoubtedly eventuates a new [[value]] in [[ultimate]]s.
19:4.7 But this is not the end of our difficulties regarding the [[working]] of the [[minds]] of the Universal Censors. Having made due allowances for all that we know or conjecture about the [[functioning]] of a Censor in any given [[universe]] situation, we find that we are still unable to [[predict]] [[decisions]] or to forecast [[verdicts]]. We very accurately [[determine]] the probable result of the [[association]] of [[Creator]] [[attitude]] and [[creature]] [[experience]], but such conclusions are not always accurate forecasts of Censor disclosures. It seems likely that the Censors are in some [[manner]] in [[liaison]] with the [[Deity Absolute]]; we are otherwise unable to explain many of their [[decisions]] and rulings.
19:4.8 Perfectors of Wisdom, Divine Counselors, and Universal Censors, together with the seven orders of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_18#PAPER_18:_THE_SUPREME_TRINITY_PERSONALITIES Supreme Trinity Personalities], [[constitute]] those ten [[groups]] which have been sometimes designated [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_10#10:6._THE_STATIONARY_SONS_OF_THE_TRINITY Stationary Sons of the Trinity]. Together they comprise the grand corps of [[Trinity]] [[administrators]], rulers, [[executives]], advisers, [[counselors]], and [[judges]]. Their numbers slightly exceed thirty-seven billion. Two billion and seventy are stationed in the [[central universe]] and just over five billion in each [[superuniverse]].
19:4.9 It is very difficult to portray the [[functional]] [[limits]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_10#10:6._THE_STATIONARY_SONS_OF_THE_TRINITY Stationary Sons of the Trinity]. It would be incorrect to state that their [[acts]] are [[finite]] limited, for there are transactions of [[superuniverse]] record which indicate otherwise. They act on any level of universe [[administration]] or [[adjudication]] that may be required by [[time-space]] conditions and that pertains to the [[past]], [[present]], and [[future]] [[evolution]] of the [[master universe]].
