Paper 22 Overview: The Trinitized Sons of God

Paper 22 examines the threefold classification, celestial origins, and universe functions of the Trinitized Sons of God, a distinctive order of universe personalities unified by the experience of trinitization. These beings are categorized into three primary divisions: the largely unrevealed Deity-trinitized Sons, the Trinity-embraced Sons who serve in superuniverse administrations, and the creature-trinitized Sons who emerge from the creative spiritualization of concept-identity by paired universe beings. The Paper particularly illuminates the seven orders of Trinity-embraced Sons, ranging from Mighty Messengers to High Son Assistants, detailing their ascendant histories, administrative functions, and cosmic responsibilities within the grand universe.

This comprehensive analysis further explores the metaphysical phenomenon of trinitization itself, a supreme creative act whereby two beings can actualize a shared conceptual ideal into a new personality, or whereby the Paradise Trinity can embrace and transform existing beings for specialized service. The technique represents one of the profound mysteries of universe organization, accessible only to certain Paradise-Havona personalities and finaliters. From the rebellion-tested Mighty Messengers to the concept-embodying High Son Assistants, these trinitized beings form crucial links in the administrative, judicial, and interpretative framework of the superuniverses, serving diverse functions that contribute to the evolutionary progress of ascending mortals and the efficient governance of time-space creations.

The Trinitized Sons of God represent a tripartite classification of universal beings united by the distinctive experience of trinitization, though manifesting through differentiated origins and specialized functions. This tripartite categorization comprises the Deity-trinitized Sons, the Trinity-embraced Sons, and the creature-trinitized Sons, each order possessing unique characteristics while sharing the common denominator of trinitization, either as an aspect of their original genesis or as a subsequent experiential attainment through Trinity embrace.

The Deity-trinitized Sons remain largely unrevealed in these narratives, indicating an intentional limitation on the scope of this revelation. Consequently, this presentation will be confined to elucidating the nature, origin, and function of the remaining two groups, with particular emphasis on the Trinity-embraced Sons who serve in superuniverse administrations. These beings constitute an essential component in the administrative hierarchy of the grand universe, facilitating efficient governance and evolutionary progress across the seven superuniverses.

The Trinity-embraced Sons originate from beings of dual or single antecedent genesis who, subsequent to their embrace by the Paradise Trinity, become eternally dedicated to Trinity service and assignment. This corps, as revealed and organized for superuniverse administration, encompasses seven specific orders of personalities: Mighty Messengers, Those High in Authority, Those without Name and Number, Trinitized Custodians, Trinitized Ambassadors, Celestial Guardians, and High Son Assistants. These seven distinct orders are further classified according to their origins, natures, and functions into three major divisions: the Trinitized Sons of Attainment, the Trinitized Sons of Selection, and the Trinitized Sons of Perfection.

The Trinitized Sons of Attainment, comprising Mighty Messengers, Those High in Authority, and Those without Name and Number, are all Adjuster-fused ascendant mortals who achieved Paradise and the Corps of the Finality before being Trinity-embraced, at which point their names were removed from the finaliter registry. These beings undergo specialized training on the Havona circuit headquarters planets under the Eternals of Days before being assigned to serve the Ancients of Days across the seven superuniverses. The Trinitized Sons of Selection, including Trinitized Custodians and Trinitized Ambassadors, are recruited from evolutionary seraphim, translated midwayers, and Spirit-fused and Son-fused mortals who have likewise ascended to Paradise. The Trinitized Sons of Perfection, Celestial Guardians and High Son Assistants, represent a unique category of twice-trinitized personalities, first created through creature trinitization and subsequently embraced by the Trinity. All seven orders maintain impeccable service records, with only the Trinitized Sons of Perfection occasionally manifesting errors in judgment that have caused transient confusion.

The jurisdiction of these Trinity-embraced Sons extends across vast domains, with some confined to their superuniverse of assignment while others traverse the grand universe. Though seemingly permanent fixtures in the superuniverse governments, their assignment has been confirmed only for the duration of the present universe age, with no explicit declaration regarding the eternality of their commission. Their reliable service and unfailing loyalty have proven indispensable to the efficient administration of the superuniverses, providing crucial links between the ascendant mortals navigating time-space and the perfected beings of eternity-Paradise.

Mighty Messengers constitute a distinguished order within the ascendant category of Trinitized Sons, remarkable for having been thoroughly tested regarding their personal loyalty to the universe administration. These perfected mortals have either withstood the potential corruption of rebellion or actively counteracted the influence of disloyal leadership, maintaining unwavering fidelity to the rightful authorities during definitive tests of universal allegiance. This demonstrated loyalty during times of cosmic crisis establishes their qualification for selection into this specialized order of universe servants.

The trajectory of these exceptional beings follows a methodical progression: having navigated the ascendant stream through Havona, attained Paradise, graduated therefrom, been mustered into the Corps of the Finality, undergone trinitization through the secret embrace of the Paradise Trinity, and ultimately been commissioned to serve with the Ancients of Days in superuniverse administration. The earliest Mighty Messengers were selected from the pioneering Paradise arrivals, many having traversed Havona during the era of Grandfanda, though the first formal trinitization of this order did not occur until representatives from all seven superuniverses were present in the candidate corps. The final qualifying group included ascendant pilgrims from Nebadon, our local universe. Now, almost one trillion Mighty Messengers serve in Orvonton alone, emerging from Paradise in classes of seven hundred thousand, with precisely one hundred thousand assigned to each superuniverse.

The multifaceted responsibilities of Mighty Messengers encompass numerous administrative, observational, and judicial functions. They serve as defenders of individuals and planets in superuniverse courts, assist the Perfections of Days in major sector administration, and function as official observers for the Ancients of Days. Their comprehensive awareness of their complete ascendant careers, from mortal origins through Paradise attainment, renders them exceptionally effective ministers and messengers, capable of establishing profound understanding with all categories of beings they encounter. This continuity of consciousness from mortal experience to trinitized service creates a sympathetic bridge between the ascending mortals and the administrative hierarchies of the superuniverses, facilitating communication and comprehension across disparate levels of cosmic evolution.

Those High in Authority represent the second recognized group among the Trinitized Sons of Attainment, consisting exclusively of Adjuster-fused beings of mortal origin who have demonstrated extraordinary administrative capacity and executive genius throughout their prolonged ascending careers. They embody the quintessence of governing ability extracted from the surviving mortal populations of space, having been systematically refined through the extensive experiences of evolutionary progression from material worlds to Paradise perfection. This administrative acumen, cultivated across diverse realms and situations, becomes invaluable in the complex governance structures of the superuniverses.

The propagation of this order occurs through systematic trinitization at each Trinity liaison, with seventy thousand individuals embraced during each such event. Notwithstanding the relative youth of Nebadon as a local universe, it has already contributed representatives to a recently trinitized class of this order. Currently, Orvonton benefits from the service of more than ten billion of these adept administrators, who maintain their organizational headquarters on Uversa while serving as ubiquitous executives for the Ancients of Days throughout the superuniverse. Their administrative wisdom and exceptional executive capabilities enable them to effectively represent justice before the superuniverse tribunals, fostering the implementation of justice and the rectification of maladaptations across evolutionary universes.

The experiential background of Those High in Authority constitutes a significant asset in adjudicating cases involving ascending mortals. Having personally traversed every phase of the ascendant journey, these administrators possess intimate familiarity with each stage of cosmic progression that mortals undergo. This experiential knowledge virtually eliminates the possibility of injustice in adjudication, as these former ascenders comprehend the challenges, limitations, and potentials at each evolutionary level. Their prosecution of cases thus reflects not merely technical application of cosmic law but empathetic understanding of the ascendant condition, a characteristic that ensures equitable treatment for all beings appearing before the superuniverse tribunals.

Those without Name and Number represent the third and final category of the Trinitized Sons of Attainment, distinguished by their transcendent capacity for worship that surpasses the spiritual capability of all other sons and daughters emerging from the evolutionary races of time and space. These ascendant souls have developed an exalted spiritual conceptualization of the Universal Father's eternal purpose that qualitatively exceeds the comprehension of evolutionary beings identifiable by conventional designation. Their designation as "Those without Name and Number" reflects this transcendent spiritual status, though a more precise translation would be "Those above Name and Number," indicating their elevation beyond the parameters of ordinary identification.

The Paradise Trinity embraces this order in cohorts of seven thousand, with over one hundred million currently commissioned in the superuniverse of Orvonton. Their primary function capitalizes on their superior spiritual discernment, qualifying them to adjudicate cases requiring spiritual perspective and experiential comprehension of the ascendant career. They constitute the supreme jurors of Orvonton, ensuring that the highest function of government, adjudication, is entrusted to beings possessing the most evolved spiritual mentality. This arrangement represents a cosmic application of the principle that judgment should be rendered by the most experienced, understanding, and spiritually mature individuals available, thereby establishing an equitable judicial system across the superuniverse domains.

The selection process for trinitization candidacy among Mighty Messengers, Those High in Authority, and Those without Name and Number operates through inherent and automatic mechanisms rather than arbitrary criteria. The personal experience and spiritual values demonstrated throughout the ascendant career determine qualification for membership in the Trinitized Sons of Attainment. Though equal in administrative authority and uniform in status, these sons retain distinct individuality and character, reflecting the differential experiences that shaped their ascent from material worlds to Paradise. Additionally, their embrace by the Paradise Trinity precipitates previously unrealized potentials that pertain to the present universe age, enhancing their capacity to serve the evolving cosmos. These three orders frequently collaborate in commissions addressing mortal concerns, ensuring that ascending beings receive comprehensive consideration from perspectives encompassing the miraculous, administrative, and spiritual dimensions of cosmic governance.

The Trinitized Custodians constitute a distinctive order within the Trinitized Sons of Selection, representing an evolutionary pathway accessible not only to mortals but also to faithful seraphic guardians and translated midway creatures who successfully traverse Havona and attain Paradise. This inclusive approach to Trinity recognition demonstrates that the opportunity for supreme personality development extends beyond human beings to encompass other categories of ascending creatures, affirming the equitable structure of universe advancement. These non-mortal beings, upon reaching Paradise, may become candidates for the same Trinity embrace that transforms mortals into specialized servants of the superuniverse administrations.

The qualification for Trinity embrace among seraphim often reflects their valiant cooperation with ascendant mortals who ultimately attain the Corps of the Finality. For instance, the narrative reveals that the seraphic guardian who accompanied the Mighty Messenger author during his mortal career was subsequently trinitized and now serves in the Uversa government as a Trinitized Custodian. Similarly, midway creatures who achieve translation and successfully navigate the Paradise ascent may receive Trinity embrace based on comparable criteria of exceptional service. The Paradise Trinity embraces these candidates in groups of seventy thousand, with one-seventh of each cohort assigned to each superuniverse. Currently, slightly over ten million of these trusted and elevated Custodians serve in Orvonton, functioning on Uversa and on the major and minor headquarters spheres.

The functional responsibilities of Trinitized Custodians differ significantly from those of Celestial Guardians in that they primarily administer group affairs rather than addressing individual concerns. They serve as custodians of records, plans, and institutions; they function as trustees of undertakings, personality groups, ascendant projects, morontia plans, universe projections, and innumerable other enterprises. This administrative specialization complements the more personalized approach of other orders, ensuring comprehensive coverage of both collective and individual needs throughout the superuniverse. Their exceptional reliability and high trust status make them ideal managers for the countless organizational responsibilities required in the complex administration of Orvonton and its component sectors.

Trinitized Ambassadors represent the second order within the Trinitized Sons of Selection, differentiated from other Trinity-embraced Sons by their distinctive fusion pattern. Unlike the Adjuster-fused or Father-fused ascendant mortals who constitute the Trinitized Sons of Attainment, these beings originate from Spirit-fused and Son-fused mortals—those who achieved fusion with a fragment of the Infinite Spirit or the Eternal Son rather than with a Thought Adjuster. These alternative fusion patterns create beings with unique perspectives and specialized capabilities that complement the Father-fused majority in the cosmic administration.

The selection process for Trinity embrace among these Paradise ascenders depends on recommendations from their Havona teachers, who identify those representing the superior minds of their respective cohorts. This meritocratic approach ensures that only the most qualified candidates receive the transformative embrace that prepares them for superuniverse service. Following their Trinity embrace, these beings are commissioned in classes of seven thousand as Trinitized Ambassadors of the Ancients of Days, with nearly one-half billion currently registered on Uversa. Their distinctive origins make them particularly valuable in assisting superuniverse rulers with understanding and administering matters pertaining to Spirit-fused mortals, while Son-fused Ambassadors provide specialized insight into issues involving their order of personality.

The functional responsibilities of Trinitized Ambassadors encompass a broad spectrum of administrative, diplomatic, and emergency services. They operate as emissaries of the Ancients of Days for any purpose and to any realm within their superuniverse of assignment, rendering particular service on the headquarters of minor sectors and executing innumerable miscellaneous assignments across Orvonton. They constitute an emergency or reserve corps for the trinitized sons of the supergovernments, available for deployment across thousands of diverse undertakings essential to superuniverse affairs. Their adaptive capacity and specialized insights enable them to address situations beyond the comprehension of Urantia inhabitants, as there exist no analogous terrestrial activities that would facilitate understanding of their cosmic functions.

The phenomenon of trinitization represents one of the most profound creative mysteries in universal existence—the supreme creative performance executed by perfect and perfected spiritual beings. The techniques and metaphysical mechanisms underlying this extraordinary process remain largely veiled in secrecy, counted among the closely guarded mysteries of Vicegerington and Solitarington, comprehensible only to those who have personally experienced this transformative event. The inscrutability of this process renders it virtually impossible to adequately convey its nature and significance to beings who lack direct experiential knowledge of trinitization.

Beyond the Paradise Deities, only certain Paradise-Havona personalities and specific members of each finaliter corps can engage in the unique adventure of concept-identity that potentially results in the production of a new being, a creature-trinitized son. For glorified creatures, this creative capacity is generally limited to a single successful trinitization, establishing a fundamental distinction between created beings and the Paradise Deities, for whom there appears to be no limitation on continued trinitization episodes. The process for potential trinitizers follows a structured protocol: mortal-finaliter companies stationed on Paradise receive a recess every millennium of Havona time, during which paired finaliters who have independently selected identical concepts for trinitization may be authorized by the Architects of the Master Universe to attempt this supreme creative act. The process often requires extraordinary periods of time and frequently results in failure, though those who persevere through such disappointments receive special recognition.

The metaphysical consequences of successful trinitization produce profound transformations in the participating beings. When two creatures successfully trinitize a new entity, one of the trinitizing participants undergoes a unique personality modification, creating a spiritual bi-unification of certain aspects of the two parents. This functional union of the trinitizing parents persists until the Supreme Being attains complete manifestation in the grand universe. While not equivalent to the eternal unity achieved when the Father and Son united to eternalize the Infinite Spirit, this creature trinitization creates a temporary but profound spiritual synthesis that fundamentally alters the cosmic status and assignments of the participating beings. They function as one in their universe assignments while maintaining distinct identities in the registries of the Corps of the Finality and the Architects of the Master Universe. This mystery of spiritual transformation exemplifies the unfathomable creative dynamics operating within the universe of universes.

Beyond the specifically enumerated categories of creature-trinitized sons elaborated in this narrative, the cosmos abounds with additional unrevealed orders of such beings emerging from multiple liaisons between the seven finaliter corps and Paradise-Havona personalities. This proliferation of trinitized entities, both revealed and unrevealed, shares the universal characteristic of receiving personality endowment directly from the Universal Father, establishing their legitimate status as personality-endowed children of the First Source and Center despite their unusual origins through the creative acts of other personalities.

The developmental trajectory of newly created ascender-trinitized and Paradise-Havona-trinitized sons typically begins with extended service periods on the seven Paradise spheres of the Infinite Spirit, where they serve under the tutelage of the Seven Supreme Executives. Subsequently, many are adopted for additional training in local universes under the Trinity Teacher Sons, where they function as apprentices and student helpers executing noble assignments in self-denial for their chosen service realms. Their potential destinies diversify based on performance and aptitude: some may be nominated for Paradise Trinity embrace, transforming into Trinitized Sons of Perfection serving the Ancients of Days; others become associates and ambassadors of the Seven Master Spirits or enter specialized service on the eternal Isle or the Paradise spheres of the Spirit; still others may join the conjoint corps of the Trinitized Sons on the inner circuit of Havona.

The ultimate destination for most creature-trinitized sons appears to be incorporation into the Corps of Trinitized Finaliters, one of the seven Paradise Corps of the Finality, unless they have been elevated to the status of Trinitized Sons of Perfection or assigned to the special gathering on Vicegerington. This systematic progression from initial creation through various training phases to eventual permanent assignment exemplifies the meticulous organization and purposeful design characterizing the universal administration. Each created being, regardless of origin, follows a carefully structured developmental path that maximizes their potential contribution to cosmic governance and evolution, ensuring that no capacity for service remains unutilized in the grand scheme of universal operations.

The Celestial Guardians emerge through a distinctive dual-transformative process wherein creature-trinitized sons, beings originally created through the trinitization efforts of perfected humans and Paradise-Havona personalities, undergo subsequent embrace by the Paradise Trinity. These twice-transformed entities are sorted according to their demonstrated service quality: those exhibiting more acceptable performance receive designation as High Son Assistants, while others are commissioned as Celestial Guardians. Both categories, despite their differing assignments, become invaluable contributors to superuniverse governance, lending their unique perspectives and capabilities to the administrative framework established by the Ancients of Days.

The experiential background of Celestial Guardians differs fundamentally from that of ascendant beings who attained their positions through evolutionary progression. Rather than personally experiencing the ascending journey from material worlds through the morontia and spiritual realms, these Guardians acquire their understanding of the ascendant career indirectly through service with Trinity Teacher Sons on the worlds of space. Currently, almost one billion Celestial Guardians have received commissions in Orvonton, primarily assigned to assist the Perfections of Days in administering the major sectors. Their functional responsibilities include serving as court officers for the Ancients of Days, acting as court messengers, delivering summonses and decisions, and functioning as apprehending agents who bring required personalities before the superuniverse judges. They also accompany Spirit-fused mortals when their presence is required on Uversa.

A distinctive characteristic of these twice-trinitized sons is that, unlike ascending mortals, they have never been indwelt by Thought Adjusters, nor have they experienced Spirit or Son fusion. The Trinity embrace compensates for this non-fused status, enabling the Trinity to act directly upon the idea personified in a creature-trinitized son while leaving the embraced son otherwise unchanged. This alternative pathway to cosmic service creates beings with unique limitations but also special capabilities. Though they lack the depth of personal experiential knowledge possessed by beings who have ascended through the material, morontia, and spiritual levels of existence, Celestial Guardians demonstrate extraordinary humility and willingness to learn from their ascendant associates. Their recognition of their experiential deficiencies manifests as a transcendently beautiful and sometimes touchingly pathetic acceptance of their limitations, a quality that endears them to the ascendant beings who assist in compensating for these experiential gaps.

High Son Assistants constitute the superior echelon of retrinitized trinitized sons, originating from glorified ascendant beings of the Mortal Corps of the Finality and their eternal associates from Paradise-Havona. Assigned to superuniverse service, they function as personal aides to the high sons governing under the Ancients of Days, effectively serving as private secretaries to these exalted administrators. Their responsibilities encompass assistance to Perfectors of Wisdom, Divine Counselors, Universal Censors, Mighty Messengers, Those High in Authority, and Those without Name and Number, essentially supporting all the principal administrative figures in superuniverse governance.

The singular characteristic that renders High Son Assistants invaluable to cosmic administration is their unique nature as personifications of specific universal concepts. Unlike Celestial Guardians, whose limitations were previously discussed, these beings embody the extraordinary quality of being personality manifestations of specific divine ideas or ideals that have never before been conceived, expressed, or trinitized in precisely the same manner. Subsequently embraced by the Paradise Trinity, they demonstrate and actually embody all the wisdom of the divine Trinity concerning the idea-ideal they represent. This remarkable specialization makes them exceptionally useful to superuniverse administrators confronting complex conceptual challenges; having the living personification of a relevant concept available provides unprecedented insight and clarity regarding that specific aspect of universal reality.

The practical limitation affecting High Son Assistants stems from their distribution across the seven superuniverses, each superuniverse receiving only one-seventh of the total population of these specialized beings. Consequently, administrators can access a specific conceptual embodiment approximately one time in seven when records indicate a relevant trinitized idea exists. The narrative illustrates this constraint through an anecdote about a commission studying three problems in southern Orvonton, where only two of three required concept-embodiments were available as High Son Assistants. Despite this numerical restriction, these beings prove tremendously valuable in superuniverse administration, prompting authorities to encourage additional trinitization efforts among Paradise pilgrims and residents to increase the population of these concept-embodying beings. Currently, Orvonton benefits from approximately one and a quarter million High Son Assistants who serve across major and minor sectors and on Uversa itself, bringing their extraordinary conceptual clarity to innumerable administrative challenges throughout the superuniverse.
