Paper 19 Overview: The Co:ordinate Trinity-Origin Beings

Paper 19 presents a comprehensive exposition of the seven categories of beings who emanate directly from the Paradise Trinity, detailing their origins, functions, and cosmic significance within the grand universe. These Trinity-origin beings, ranging from the administratively crucial Perfectors of Wisdom, Divine Counselors, and Universal Censors to the enigmatic Inspired Trinity Spirits and the perfect inhabitants of Havona and Paradise, collectively constitute the administrative, judicial, and spiritual foundation upon which the perfection of Paradise stability extends outward through the time-space creations. Each order displays unique attributes that reflect specific qualities of the Trinity's divine nature while fulfilling essential roles in universe governance and spiritual ministry.

The narrative reveals the intricate balance between absolute divine perfection and experiential wisdom in universe administration, demonstrating how Trinity-origin beings often collaborate with evolutionary ascenders to combine unassailable divine insight with hard-earned experiential understanding. This synergy creates an administrative efficiency that approaches totality in wisdom, judgment, and counsel. These beings possess extraordinary capacities for universe transit, instantaneous communication, and unfailing loyalty to divine purpose. Significantly, despite their complete free will endowment, none have ever deviated from the perfect will of the Paradise Trinity, a testament to their inherent divine nature as direct expressions of Trinity consciousness in the universes of time and space.

The Co-ordinate Trinity-origin Beings constitute a distinctive Paradise group encompassing several categories of divine personalities whose existence stems directly from the creative act of the Paradise Trinity. This classification includes Trinity Teacher Sons (also categorized among the Paradise Sons of God), three specialized groups of high superuniverse administrators, and the somewhat impersonal category of Inspired Trinity Spirits. The categorization appropriately extends to Havona natives and numerous beings resident on Paradise. Seven specific types of Trinity-origin beings are examined in detail in this discourse: Trinity Teacher Sons, Perfectors of Wisdom, Divine Counselors, Universal Censors, Inspired Trinity Spirits, Havona Natives, and Paradise Citizens.

With the exception of the Trinity Teacher Sons and possibly the Inspired Trinity Spirits, these groups exist in definite numbers, their creation representing a completed act of the Paradise Trinity. The remaining Trinity-origin beings discussed herein are of fixed number, with no new members being added to their ranks. The Trinity Teacher Sons, however, continue to increase in number, suggesting an ongoing creative process and expanding cosmic need for their specific ministry throughout the universes.

The Trinity Teacher Sons occupy a unique position among celestial personalities, functioning in a dual capacity that distinguishes them from other Trinity-origin beings. While originating entirely from the Trinity nature, they devote themselves almost completely to services related to divine sonship, serving as essential liaison beings who bridge the conceptual and functional gulf between Trinity-origin and dual-origin personalities. Unlike most Stationary Sons of the Trinity whose numbers are fixed, the Teacher Sons continually increase, with the most recent periodic report to Uversa documenting 21,001,624,821 Sons in active service throughout the universes.

These Sons range throughout the central and superuniverses, with substantial contingents assigned to each local universe and individual planets. Significant numbers remain in reserve on Paradise, volunteering for emergency duty and unusual service across all divisions of the grand universe. As supreme coordinating personalities of Trinity origin, they help prevent the metaphysical error of circumscribed viewpoints: the propensity to segment reality into disconnected parts. They demonstrate why studying only origins (as in evolutionary biology or theology) leads to fundamental philosophical errors: failing to perceive final evolutionary goals, oversimplifying cosmic reality, mistaking knowledge of becoming for understanding of being, and failing to see future development through exclusive focus on historical beginnings. The Trinity Teacher Sons embody the holistic perspective that approaches any reality problem—human or divine, terrestrial or cosmic—through the coordinated study of three phases: origin, history, and destiny, thus providing the comprehensive foundation for understanding current status.

The philosophical approach exemplified by Trinity Teacher Sons stands in stark contrast to the human tendency to proceed from simple to complex, from finite to infinite. Such an approach, while yielding certain forms of genetic knowledge, reveals only origins while obscuring destinies. The Trinity Teachers instead model the cosmic perspective that embarks on the "time-space journey from the infinite, eternal, and divine Paradise Source and Center of all personality reality and all cosmic existence." This methodology transcends the limitations of materialistic, evolutionary philosophy, which often misinterprets present reality by focusing exclusively on material origins while neglecting spiritual destinies. This cosmic perspective provides the essential philosophical framework for the revelation process employed throughout these papers.

The Perfectors of Wisdom represent a specialized creation of the Paradise Trinity specifically designed to personify divine wisdom in the administration of the seven superuniverses. Their numbers are precisely fixed at seven billion, with exactly one billion assigned to each superuniverse. After undergoing intensive preparation through the wisdom experiences of Paradise, Havona, and all the Father's Paradise spheres (excepting Divinington), these beings received permanent assignment to the service of the Ancients of Days. Their function is entirely administrative rather than inspirational, as they operate exclusively within the superuniverse governments rather than on Paradise or the Paradise-Havona circuits.

Wherever and whenever a Perfector of Wisdom functions, there exists the actual manifestation of divine wisdom, not as a reflection, but as the wisdom of the Paradise Trinity incarnate. These beings serve as living fountains of discretion and wellsprings of discrimination for all educational institutions throughout the universes. Wisdom itself possesses a dual nature: the perfect divine insight inherent in perfect beings and the personal experience acquired by evolutionary creatures. The Perfectors of Wisdom embody the divine component of this wisdom equation, but they recognize the necessity of complementary experiential wisdom. Therefore, they consistently collaborate with ascendant personalities who have risen to positions of superuniverse authority through evolutionary progression. This partnership creates the optimal administrative wisdom—perfect divine insight balanced with hard-earned experiential understanding. The author speculates that Paradise finaliters may eventually achieve an unprecedented level of wisdom upon reaching the seventh stage of spirit existence, potentially becoming the most effective administrators ever known in creation.

The versatility of the Perfectors of Wisdom enables their participation in virtually all celestial services involving ascendant creatures. Together with Divine Counselors and Universal Censors, they constitute the highest orders of beings engaged in truth revelation to planets and systems at all stages of development. They maintain regular contact with ascending mortals throughout their progression from initial planetary life through the local universe and superuniverse, with particular emphasis on the latter phases of ascendant experience. Their ministry represents the perfect blending of infinite wisdom with practical administrative application throughout the hierarchies of universal government.

The Divine Counselors embody the actual counsel of Deity to the domains of the seven superuniverses, not merely reflecting the divine counsel of the Trinity but constituting that counsel personified. Twenty-one billion Counselors serve throughout creation, with precisely three billion assigned to each superuniverse. They function as associates and equals of both the Universal Censors and the Perfectors of Wisdom, with varying numbers of Counselors associated with each of these latter personalities. All three orders participate extensively in the governance mechanisms established by the Ancients of Days, extending from superuniverse headquarters down through major and minor sectors, local universes, constellations, and even to the councils of the local system sovereigns.

These Counselors operate both as individuals and in specialized administrative groupings. When acting in an executive capacity, a Divine Counselor typically functions alongside a Perfector of Wisdom and a Universal Censor. A tribunal consisting of one Perfector of Wisdom, seven Divine Counselors, and one Universal Censor constitutes the highest mobile advisory body in the time-space universes. Such a group of nine serves as either a fact-finding or truth-revealing tribunal, and when this configuration renders judgment on a problem, it carries the same weight as if an Ancient of Days had adjudicated the matter. These tribunals effectively allow the Paradise Trinity to make direct administrative contact with individual worlds, systems, and universes, as the three Ancients of Days functioning together represent the direct action of the Paradise Trinity within a superuniverse.

Divine Counselors represent the absolute perfection of the counsel of the Paradise Trinity. When their perfect counsel combines with the experiential counsel of Trinity-embraced evolutionary ascenders, then undergoes adjudication and confirmation by a Universal Censor, the resulting conclusion approaches "the threshold of universal totality." Seven Divine Counselors working in liaison with a trinitized evolutionary trio (a Mighty Messenger, One High in Authority, and One without Name and Number) create the nearest superuniverse approximation to the union of human viewpoint and divine attitude. This reflects a convergence of creature and Creator perspectives that is surpassed only in the Paradise bestowal Sons, who uniquely combine divine and human experience in a unified personality.

The Universal Censors, exactly eight billion in number, stand as the embodiment of the judgment of the Paradise Trinity. Unlike other Trinity-origin beings who reflect divine qualities, the Censors actually are the judgment of Deity incarnate. Even the Ancients of Days render judgment only in association with Universal Censors. One billion Censors are assigned to each of the seven superuniverses, and one Censor is commissioned on each of the billion worlds of Havona, though their purpose in the perfect central universe remains somewhat mysterious, possibly relating to future universe ages when Havona's population may partially change from its current perfect state.

The presence of a Universal Censor signifies the immediate, active presence of the judgment of Deity. Censors render their verdicts in collaboration with Perfectors of Wisdom and Divine Counselors, creating a juridical trio in which the Perfector of Wisdom represents the "I was" (past), the Divine Counselor the "I will be" (future), and the Universal Censor the "I am" (eternal present). Universal Censors function as totaling personalities, who reveal an unerring and divine totaling of all that has transpired. When a Censor pronounces judgment, no appeal is possible, for their verdict constitutes "the true and unmistakable total of all that has gone before." The Divine Counselor who authored this paper admits to not fully comprehending the adjudicating mind of a Universal Censor, suggesting they formulate new meanings and originate new values from the association of facts, truths, and findings presented during universe investigations. This unique ability to combine perfect Creator insight with perfected creature experience produces new interpretations and values in ultimates.

The precise functioning of Universal Censors' minds remains somewhat mysterious even to other high Trinity-origin beings. The author acknowledges that despite making allowances for all known factors in Censor operations, many of their decisions and rulings remain unpredictable by standard criteria. This suggests they may maintain some form of liaison with the Deity Absolute, which would explain certain unexpected elements in their judgments. Together with Perfectors of Wisdom, Divine Counselors, and seven orders of Supreme Trinity Personalities, the Universal Censors comprise the grand corps of Trinity administrators throughout the master universe. Their jurisdiction extends across all levels of universe administration and adjudication—past, present, and future—with functional limits that transcend finite limitations, as evidenced by superuniverse transactions that demonstrate their capacity to act on matters pertaining to the entire spectrum of cosmic evolution.

The Inspired Trinity Spirits represent one of the most enigmatic and secretive orders of beings in existence. They originate through direct action of the Paradise Trinity and may be utilized by any one, two, or all three of the Deities. Even beings whose origins lie near the source of these Spirits' creation cannot fully comprehend their nature, as Inspired Trinity Spirits cannot completely reveal themselves to other orders of beings. Whether their numbers are fixed or constantly increasing remains uncertain, though the author inclines toward the belief that they continue to increase in number. These mysterious Spirits operate with remarkable independence from the constraints of time and space, functioning across all known circuits.

Under specific circumstances, Inspired Trinity Spirits can individualize themselves sufficiently to be recognized by beings of Trinity origin, but lower orders of celestial beings cannot detect their presence. The author recounts personal observation of these Spirits, noting that contemporary to the writing of this narrative, three Inspired Spirits of the "third volume of power presence" were functioning within twenty-five feet of his location and their presence detected solely by an associated Solitary Messenger's unique sensitivity to Spirit presences. This detection capacity functions with the precision of a magnetic needle pointing to a magnetic pole, allowing Solitary Messengers to identify both the classification and number of nearby Inspired Spirits. Interestingly, Solitary Messengers experience a similar qualitative (but not quantitative) sensitivity when near beings indwelt by Thought Adjusters, suggesting some unidentified relationship between Adjusters and Inspired Spirits, though both have distinctly different origins: Adjusters from the Father alone, Inspired Spirits from the Paradise Trinity.

The author postulates that Inspired Trinity Spirits function as superconscious spiritual teachers, imparting essential spiritual knowledge that cannot be consciously received, as self-consciousness would jeopardize reception certainty. This would explain why ascending mortals and even Sons of God remain unaware of their influence despite numerous instances of otherwise inexplicable spiritual insights. The author suggests that Trinity Teacher Sons and Inspired Trinity Spirits may work in complementary fashion, the former teaching through conscious enlightenment, the latter through superconscious methods, thus bridging a potential gap in the universal scheme of moral enlightenment and spiritual advancement. Despite persistent efforts to understand these mysterious beings, their isolation remains a cosmic enigma that the author continues to investigate. This mysterious aspect of spiritual ministry demonstrates why mortals must initially rely on faith and revelation rather than sight and material assurance as they begin their eternal journey.

The Havona natives represent the direct creation of the Paradise Trinity, their numbers and innate perfection transcending the conceptual capacities of evolutionary mortals. These divinely perfect beings inhabit the billion worlds of the eternal central universe, awaiting the arrival of ascending pilgrims from time and space with whom they will develop profound spiritual friendships. The relationship between ascending mortals and Havona natives produces mutual benefits: ascenders receive guidance from beings of divine perfection, while Havoners gain experiential enrichment through contact with beings who have overcome the challenges of imperfect origins.

Unlike the Stationary Sons of the Trinity, Havona natives can evolve in status and may possess an unrevealed future eternity-destiny. Some Havoners have developed the capacity for fusion with a non-Adjuster Father fragment, qualifying them for membership in the Mortal Corps of the Finality and other finaliter groups. Since no new Havona natives are being created, and they continue to enter finaliter service, their numbers in the central universe are steadily decreasing. This progressive depletion has generated considerable speculation on Uversa regarding the ultimate composition of Havona's population. Various theories propose that the central universe may eventually house a mixed population including univitatia (constellation citizens), future types of perfected mortals from the superuniverses in the ages of light and life, or spiritual beings from the successive outer universes. The changing nature of Havona's population suggests that the perfect central universe is not static but evolving in preparation for the next universe age, reflecting the dynamic nature of the cosmos in which only God remains truly changeless.

The relationship between Havona natives and ascending mortals illustrates the divine wisdom in establishing the central universe as both a training ground for imperfect beings and a home for perfect ones. As ascending mortals progress through their "long sojourn" on Havona's billion worlds, they develop "eternal friendship" with these superb beings, creating bonds that transcend the vast differences in their origins. This symbiotic relationship compensates for the spiritual impoverishment of mortal beginnings while simultaneously providing experiential enrichment for beings who have always existed in divine perfection. The Havona natives' capacity for status evolution and service in the finaliter corps demonstrates the dynamic nature of Paradise-conceived perfection, which can still develop new capacities for service and experience in response to the evolving needs of the grand universe.

Numerous groups of superb beings designated as Paradise Citizens reside permanently on the central Isle of Light and Life. More than three thousand distinct orders of these supernal intelligences exist, with the final group having been personalized simultaneously with the Trinity's mandate that established the creative plan for the seven superuniverses of time and space. These beings remain largely unrevealed to Urantia mortals as they are not directly involved in the scheme for perfecting ascending will creatures. Paradise Citizens and Havona natives are sometimes collectively referred to as Paradise-Havona personalities, acknowledging their related origins and perfect nature.

This concludes the examination of beings brought into existence by the Paradise Trinity, none of whom have ever deviated from divine purpose despite possessing genuine free will. Trinity-origin beings enjoy remarkable prerogatives of transit that render them independent of transport personalities such as seraphim. Though unable to achieve the nearly incomprehensible velocity of Solitary Messengers, they can traverse vast cosmic distances with extraordinary speed, capable of traveling from superuniverse headquarters to a local universe capital in less than one Urantia year. The Divine Counselor authoring this paper notes that his personal journey from Uversa to Urantia required 109 earth days. These beings also maintain instantaneous intercommunication with all members of their divine order throughout the universes, with the sole exception of the Inspired Trinity Spirits, who remain mysteriously isolated even from other Trinity-origin beings. This combination of rapid transit and instantaneous communication facilitates their effective administration of the far-flung domains of time and space.
