Paper 18 Overview: The Supreme Trinity Personalities

The Supreme Trinity Personalities constitute a specialized order of beings created by the Paradise Trinity explicitly for the execution of administrative functions throughout the grand universe. Organized into seven distinct orders—Trinitized Secrets of Supremacy, Eternals of Days, Ancients of Days, Perfections of Days, Recents of Days, Unions of Days, and Faithfuls of Days—these beings embody the administrative judgment, justice, and policy implementation of the Trinity across all cosmic domains. Their creation is a completed event, their numbers are fixed, and their essential nature is characterized by administrative perfection, unwavering loyalty, and divine essence that renders them immune to rebellion or default.

These personalities form an intricate administrative hierarchy extending from the innermost Paradise spheres to the constellation capitals of the local universes. Throughout this vast network of divine governance, they ensure that the Trinity's policies are implemented with perfect consistency, while simultaneously adapting to the unique characteristics and needs of their respective jurisdictions. The Supreme Trinity Personalities exemplify how the Paradise Trinity maintains administrative uniformity across a diversified cosmic creation, providing a stable framework of divine oversight while allowing for the creative diversity inherent in the evolutionary domains. Their collective function guarantees that the ultimate will of the Paradise Deities is effectively transmitted through all levels of universe administration, creating a seamless chain of authority from the center of all things to the peripheral realms of time and space.

The Supreme Trinity Personalities are uniquely created beings brought into existence by the divine Trinity specifically for the fulfillment of particular administrative responsibilities. These specialized administrators are designed with perfect capabilities to execute their assigned duties with flawless technique and absolute devotion. The seven distinct orders of Supreme Trinity Personalities comprise: the Trinitized Secrets of Supremacy, the Eternals of Days, the Ancients of Days, the Perfections of Days, the Recents of Days, the Unions of Days, and the Faithfuls of Days. These beings exist in definite and final numbers, as their creation represents a completed cosmic event with no additional personalities being brought into existence.

Throughout the grand universe, these Supreme Trinity Personalities function as the embodiment of the administrative policies established by the Paradise Trinity. They represent both the justice and executive judgment of the Paradise Trinity in their respective domains of service. These beings form a sophisticated, interconnected administrative structure of absolute perfection that extends from the Paradise spheres of the Universal Father to the headquarters worlds of local universes and the capitals of their component constellations. All Trinity-origin personalities are endowed with Paradise perfection in their divine attributes at the moment of their creation. The passage of time has added to their experiential capacity for cosmic service, but has never altered their fundamental divine nature. Their divine essence renders them intrinsically incapable of default or rebellion, as they have never deviated from the perfect and divine standards of personality conduct that characterize all Trinity-origin beings.

Within the innermost circuit of Paradise satellites exist seven exalted worlds, each governed by a corps of ten Trinitized Secrets of Supremacy. These seventy supreme directors, while not creators themselves, function as the ultimate administrators of these specialized spheres. The complete governance of these seven fraternal worlds is entirely entrusted to this corps of seventy directors, and these distinctive spheres are universally designated as the personal circuit of the Universal Father. The nature of their administrative function transcends routine management, involving the oversight of cosmic domains that interface directly with fundamental aspects of divine reality.

The Trinitized Secrets of Supremacy operate with dual functionality, working both collectively in coordinated groups of ten as joint directors of their respective domains, and individually in specialized fields of responsibility. Each of these special worlds has its activities divided into seven principal departments, with one of these coordinated rulers presiding over each division of specialized function. The remaining three directors serve as personal representatives of the triune Deity—one specifically representing the Father, another the Son, and the third the Spirit. Though sharing certain class characteristics that distinguish them as Trinitized Secrets of Supremacy, these beings manifest seven distinct group characteristics that reflect the particular nature of the Deity or Deity association relevant to their assigned sphere. For instance, the ten directors administering Divinington affairs exhibit qualities reflective of the personal character and nature of the Universal Father, with similar patterns of Deity reflection evident across the other six spheres. The Divine Counselor presenting this information acknowledges the limitations in revealing details about these high personalities, explaining that they truly embody the "Secrets of Supremacy" concerning Deity association with the sevenfold grouping of created beings.

The work of these supreme directors involves intimate and personal contact between the Deities and the seven basic groupings of universe beings housed on these seven special worlds or functioning throughout the grand universe. The Paradise Creators respect the privacy and sanctity of personality even among their lowliest creatures, making these extraordinary contacts and relationships sacredly confidential. Even for beings of high universe attainment, these secret worlds remain a test of loyalty. While the eternal Gods can be fully and personally known in their divine character and perfection, it is not granted to any creature to fully penetrate all the personal relationships between the Paradise Rulers and their created beings across the universe of universes.

Each of the billion perfect worlds constituting the divine central universe of Havona is governed by a Supreme Trinity Personality designated as an Eternal of Days. These exalted administrators number exactly one billion, with precisely one ruler assigned to each Havona sphere. Like the Trinitized Secrets of Supremacy, the Eternals of Days are offspring of the Paradise Trinity, though no records document their specific origin. These all-wise fathers have eternally administered their extraordinary worlds within the Paradise-Havona system, serving without rotation or reassignment throughout the endless ages of cosmic history. Their administrative perfection contributes significantly to the flawless operation of the central and divine universe that surrounds Paradise.

The Eternals of Days maintain a visible presence to all will creatures residing within their domains, presiding over regular planetary assemblies that contribute to the administrative harmony of Havona. They periodically and sequentially visit the headquarters spheres of the seven superuniverses as part of their oversight responsibilities. The Eternals of Days maintain a close kinship with and are the divine equals of the Ancients of Days who govern the seven superuniverses. During the absence of an Eternal of Days from his assigned sphere, a Trinity Teacher Son assumes temporary direction of that world. Beyond the established orders of life indigenous to Havona, such as the Havona natives and other living creatures of the central universe, each Eternal of Days has developed his respective sphere in accordance with his personal ideas and ideals, leading to remarkable diversity amid perfection.

The architectural design, natural embellishment, morontia structures, and spiritual creations on each Havona world are exclusively unique, making every sphere a place of everlasting beauty entirely unlike any other world in the central universe. This intrinsic diversity within perfection ensures that ascending mortals will experience distinct and thrilling environments as they journey through each of these billion unique worlds on their inward path to Paradise. The Divine Counselor notes that while it is natural for mortals to conceive of Paradise as being "upward," it would be more accurate to refer to the divine goal of ascension as being "inward," reflecting the true directional nature of the journey through the central universe toward the Universal Father.

When mortal beings complete their training on the worlds surrounding the headquarters of a local universe and advance to the educational spheres of their superuniverse, they have achieved sufficient spiritual development to recognize and communicate with the high spiritual rulers of these advanced realms, including the majestic Ancients of Days. These supreme rulers of the superuniverses are fundamentally identical in nature, manifesting the combined character and unified essence of the Paradise Trinity while simultaneously exhibiting distinct individualities. Their uniform nature provides consistent governance across the otherwise diverse seven superuniverses, bringing administrative coherence to cosmic domains that differ significantly in their fundamental characteristics.

Unlike the Seven Master Spirits who govern with natures and attributes uniquely tailored to their respective superuniverses, the Ancients of Days provide uniform directorship through their identical Trinity-derived perfection. They superimpose administrative uniformity upon the underlying creative diversity of the seven segmental groupings of the grand universe, ensuring cosmic harmony despite the inherent differences between these vast domains. All twenty-one Ancients of Days were trinitized simultaneously, representing the first entry in the personality records of the universe of universes, hence their designation as the "Ancients of Days." These high beings always function in triads, with many phases of their work permitting individual or paired action, but in the higher spheres of their administration, they must operate conjointly. They never personally leave their residential worlds, utilizing instead the far-flung reflectivity system to maintain awareness and control throughout their domains. Their personal abodes are located at the points of spiritual polarity on their headquarters spheres, with each superuniverse capital divided into seventy administrative sectors containing seventy divisional capitals.

In terms of their authority, the Ancients of Days possess unparalleled power and jurisdiction over the time-space creations. They alone among the direct rulers of the universe of universes are invested with the high powers of final executive judgment concerning the eternal extinction of will creatures—a responsibility of such gravity that all three Ancients of Days must participate in such terminal decrees. Aside from the Deities and their Paradise associates, they represent the most perfect, versatile, and divinely endowed rulers in all time-space existence. Despite their supreme position, they have not experientially earned their right to rule and are destined to eventually be superseded by the Supreme Being, an experiential sovereign, whose vicegerents they will become. During the present age of the unfinished evolution of the Supreme Being, the Ancients of Days provide the coordinated and perfect administrative oversight of the evolving universes, combining the wisdom of originality with the initiative of individuality in all their decrees and rulings.

There exist precisely two hundred and ten Perfections of Days who preside over the governments of the ten major sectors within each superuniverse. These specialized Trinity personalities were trinitized specifically for their role in assisting the superuniverse directors, functioning as the immediate and personal vicegerents of the Ancients of Days. Their administrative relationship to the Ancients of Days parallels, on a larger scale, that which exists between the Eternals of Days and the Paradise Trinity in the central universe. With three Perfections of Days assigned to each major sector capital, they implement the policies of the Ancients of Days while managing the distinctive affairs of their assigned sectors.

Unlike the governing arrangement of the Ancients of Days, who must all be present simultaneously for certain functions, the triads of Perfections of Days need not always be present together at their administrative posts. Periodically, one member of the trio may absent himself to confer personally with the Ancients of Days regarding the welfare of his realm, creating a dynamic system of consultation between major sector and superuniverse governance. These triune rulers have achieved unparalleled mastery of administrative details, a distinction reflected in their title—Perfections of Days. The Divine Counselor acknowledges the inherent difficulty in translating the names of spiritual beings into human language, noting the challenge of rendering designations that would both be comprehensible to mortal understanding while remaining faithful to the original meanings. The governance structures established by the Perfections of Days include moderate-sized corps of Divine Counselors, Perfectors of Wisdom, and Universal Censors, supplemented by larger contingents of Mighty Messengers, Those High in Authority, and Those without Name and Number.

Much of the routine administrative work within the major sectors is conducted by the Celestial Guardians and High Son Assistants, who are drawn from the ranks of trinitized offspring—either from Paradise-Havona personalities or glorified mortal finaliters. Certain of these creature-trinitized beings undergo a process of retrinitization by the Paradise Deities before being dispatched to assist in superuniverse administration. The judicial functions across all three divisions—superuniverse, major sector, and minor sector—are managed by the Trinitized Custodians (Trinity-embraced seraphim and midwayers), while Trinitized Ambassadors (Trinity-embraced ascendant mortals) predominantly serve the minor sectors. Before assuming their responsibilities within the superuniverse governments, virtually all administrators below the level of the Ancients of Days complete apprenticeships of varying duration under the tutelage of the Eternals of Days in the perfect Havona universe. This rigorous preparation ensures that these later trinitized beings are thoroughly seasoned, tested, and experienced in the complex art of universe administration.

The Recents of Days represent the youngest of the supreme directors tasked with superuniverse administration, governing in groups of three over the affairs of the minor sectors. Though coordinate with the Perfections of Days in their fundamental nature, they occupy a subordinate position in the administrative hierarchy. There exist exactly twenty-one thousand of these personally glorious and divinely efficient Trinity personalities, all created simultaneously and trained collectively in Havona under the expert guidance of the Eternals of Days. Their relative youth in the cosmic order of Trinity administrators brings a fresh perspective to the governance structure while maintaining perfect alignment with the established policies of higher authorities.

The Recents of Days maintain administrative corps similar in composition to those of the Perfections of Days, but additionally employ enormous numbers of various subordinate celestial beings specifically adapted to minor sector administration. Their governance focuses predominantly, though not exclusively, on addressing the great physical problems of the superuniverses, as minor sector spheres serve as the headquarters of the Master Physical Controllers. On these specialized administrative worlds, ascending mortals engage in complex studies and experiments examining the activities of the third order of Supreme Power Centers and all seven orders of the Master Physical Controllers, gaining practical understanding of the physical foundations of the universe. The administrative demands of minor sector governance frequently require the Recents of Days to operate separately, with one often away conferencing with the Perfections of Days of the supervising major sector, another representing the Ancients of Days at Paradise conclaves of high Trinity-origin beings, and the third conducting inspection tours of the local universe headquarters worlds under their jurisdiction.

The Recents of Days alternate responsibilities with the Perfections of Days in representing the Ancients of Days at the supreme councils convened on Paradise, ensuring that minor sector perspectives are incorporated into the highest levels of superuniverse governance. This arrangement guarantees that at least one Recent of Days always remains on duty at the headquarters of each minor sector, maintaining administrative continuity. All ascending mortals encounter the three Recents of Days governing their assigned minor sector of Ensa during their cosmic journey, as they must pass through these hands before proceeding to the training worlds of the major sectors. In the grand design of superuniverse ascension, mortals traverse only one group of minor sector training spheres during their progressive journey toward Uversa, the superuniverse capital, creating a directed and efficient pathway through the educational system of the cosmic domains.

The Trinity personalities of the order of "Days" do not function in administrative capacities below the superuniverse level, instead serving as counselors and advisers at the local universe level. The Unions of Days constitute a specialized group of liaison personalities accredited by the Paradise Trinity to the dual rulers of the local universes, with each organized and inhabited local universe being assigned one of these Paradise counselors. These beings function as direct representatives of the Trinity and, in certain respects, of the Universal Father himself, forming a crucial link between the central administrative structures and the more diverse local creations. Their role emphasizes consultation rather than direct governance, preserving the administrative autonomy of the local universes while ensuring alignment with Paradise policies.

There exist seven hundred thousand Unions of Days, though not all have been commissioned for active service. The reserve corps of the Unions of Days functions on Paradise as the Supreme Council of Universe Adjustments, preparing for future assignments and addressing special circumstances as they arise throughout the grand universe. The Unions of Days coordinate administrative activities across all levels of universe governance, from local universes through sector governments to the superuniverse administrations. They prepare a tripartite report of universe conditions: transmitting physical and semi-intellectual data to the Recents of Days of their minor sector, intellectual and quasi-spiritual happenings to the Perfections of Days of their major sector, and spiritual and semi-paradisiacal matters to the Ancients of Days at the superuniverse capital. As Trinity-origin beings, they have complete access to all Paradise circuits for intercommunication, enabling them to maintain constant contact with each other and with all other required personalities up to the supreme councils of Paradise.

Although not organically connected to the government of the local universe to which they are assigned, the Unions of Days fulfill vital functions as observers and counselors. Beyond their duties as observers, they act only at the explicit request of the local authorities, serving as ex officio members of all primary councils and important conclaves of the local creation while abstaining from participation in the technical consideration of administrative problems unless specifically invited to contribute. In local universes that have achieved the advanced status of light and life, the Union of Days functions in an expanded capacity appropriate to such a realm of evolutionary perfection. During the temporary absence of a Creator Son from the headquarters of his local universe, the acting rulers rely significantly on the counsel of their Union of Days, demonstrating the essential role these Paradise representatives play in maintaining administrative continuity and wisdom in the local domains of cosmic governance.

These exalted Trinity-origin personalities serve as Paradise advisers to the rulers of the one hundred constellations within each local universe. With seventy million Faithfuls of Days in existence, though not all currently commissioned for active service, they represent the most numerous class of the Supreme Trinity Personalities directly engaged with the evolutionary realms. Their Paradise reserve corps functions as the Advisory Commission of Interuniverse Ethics and Self-government, providing guidelines for service rotation and specialized consultation on matters of cosmic ethics. The relationship between a Faithful of Days and the Vorondadek Sons who govern the constellations precisely parallels the relationship between a Union of Days and a Creator Son of a local universe, creating a consistent pattern of Trinity advisory presence throughout the administrative hierarchy.

The Faithfuls of Days demonstrate supreme devotion to the welfare of their assigned constellations, though their function remains strictly advisory rather than administrative. They never participate in the actual governance of their realms except upon the specific invitation of the constellation authorities, maintaining the crucial distinction between advisory and executive functions that characterizes Trinity representatives. Unlike the Vorondadek Sons who oversee the educational ministries for ascending pilgrims on the architectural training spheres surrounding constellation headquarters, the Faithfuls of Days have no direct involvement in these educational processes. All Faithfuls of Days functioning within a local universe operate under the jurisdiction of and report directly to the Union of Days assigned to that creation, establishing a clear chain of communication back to Paradise. Their communication system differs from that of higher Trinity administrators, being primarily limited to interassociation within the boundaries of their local universe.

The Faithfuls of Days maintain personal residences on the constellation capitals distinctly separate from the administrative centers of these domains. Their abodes, while appropriate to their elevated status, are notably modest in comparison to the more elaborate residential complexes of the Vorondadek rulers, reflecting their advisory rather than governing role. As the final direct representatives of the Trinity in the descending administrative structure, the Faithfuls of Days constitute the last link in the extensive administrative-advisory chain that extends from the sacred spheres of the Universal Father near the center of all things to the primary divisions of the local universes. Beyond the constellation level, no formal Trinity advisers are permanently stationed on component systems or inhabited worlds. These fundamental administrative units fall entirely under the jurisdiction of beings native to the local universes, marking the transition from Paradise-originated oversight to locally-developed administration in the cosmic governmental structure.
