Paper 29 Overview: The Universe Power Directors

Paper 29 details the complex hierarchical structure and multifaceted functions of the Universe Power Directors, beings whose existence has remained largely enigmatic to the inhabitants of Urantia. These entities constitute the essential framework through which the physical energies of creation are intelligently regulated, transformed, and directed throughout the grand universe. The revelator, a Universal Censor, provides unprecedented insight into the three principal classifications of these power personalities: the Seven Supreme Power Directors who form the apex of energy administration, the Supreme Power Centers who function as the intelligent nexus of power regulation, and the Master Physical Controllers who execute the practical manipulation of energy manifestations across all inhabited and architectural spheres.

The revelation systematically outlines how these specialized living mechanisms operate without interruption to ensure the perpetual balance of universal energy systems. From the semimaterial Supreme Power Directors created by the Seven Master Spirits, to the billions of power centers distributed throughout the superuniverses, to the numerous orders of physical controllers with their remarkable capabilities for energy transformation, the paper discloses a previously unrecognized dimension of universe administration. The discussion concludes with an examination of the Master Force Organizers who work beyond the boundaries of the organized universes, transmuting primordial forces into energy forms that become responsive to Paradise gravity, thereby laying the foundation for future cosmic creations.

Of all universe personalities concerned with regulating interplanetary and interuniverse affairs, the power directors and their associates have remained the most obscure and least comprehended by the inhabitants of Urantia. While humankind has long acknowledged the existence of angelic beings and similar celestial orders, minimal information concerning the controllers and regulators of the physical domain has been imparted until now. Even in this revelation, the author is permitted to fully disclose only the last of three groups of living beings responsible for force control and energy regulation in the master universe: Primary Eventuated Master Force Organizers, Associate Transcendental Master Force Organizers, and Universe Power Directors.

Though the revelator acknowledges the impossibility of adequately portraying the individuality of these diverse directors, centers, and controllers of universe power, he endeavors to explicate their functional domains and organizational structure. These unique beings, comprising the Seven Supreme Power Directors, the Supreme Power Centers, the Master Physical Controllers, and the Morontia Power Supervisors, constitute an essential system for the intelligent regulation of energy throughout the grand universe. The first two groups have existed since near eternity, with the Seven Supreme Directors having been personalized by the Seven Master Spirits, subsequently collaborating to produce billions of associates. In the ascendant progression of mortal beings, interaction with the supreme directors and power centers is not part of the experience, though ascenders will eventually work with physical controllers and morontia power supervisors upon reaching the mansion worlds of the local universe.

The Seven Supreme Power Directors function as the physical-energy regulators of the grand universe, representing the first documented instance of semimaterial progeny derived from true spirit ancestry. This phenomenon illustrates a significant demarcation in creative methodology—when the Seven Master Spirits create individually, they produce highly spiritual personalities of the angelic order, but when they create collectively, they sometimes generate these high types of semimaterial beings who would be imperceptible to the limited visual range of Urantian mortals. These Supreme Power Directors are precisely seven in number and exhibit identical appearance and functional capabilities.

Each Supreme Power Director exists in unique association with one of the Master Spirits, functioning in complete subservience to that Spirit and indistinguishable from other directors except by this specific relationship. They maintain station on peripheral Paradise, where their slowly circulating presences indicate the location of the force-focal headquarters of the Master Spirits. These directors operate individually in regulating the power-energy of the superuniverses but function collectively in administering the central creation. They serve as the physical progenitors of the vast network of power centers and, through them, the physical controllers distributed throughout the seven superuniverses. These subordinate physical-control organisms exhibit fundamental uniformity, differentiated only by the tonal characteristics specific to each superuniverse corps, allowing them to transfer between superuniverses after appropriate retoning procedures on Paradise.

The Seven Supreme Power Directors, while incapable of individual self-reproduction, can collectively—in conjunction with the Seven Master Spirits—create beings similar to themselves, which constitutes the origin of the Supreme Power Centers of the grand universe. These power centers function in seven distinct classifications: Supreme Center Supervisors, Havona Centers, Superuniverse Centers, Local Universe Centers, Constellation Centers, System Centers, and Unclassified Centers. These entities possess significant volitional freedom and exhibit Third-Source personality, demonstrating exceptional intelligence as they oversee the intellect of the power system throughout the grand universe.

The Supreme Center Supervisors, seven in number, coordinate on the special worlds of the Seven Supreme Executives and work closely with these general universe affairs coordinators. In liaison with the Supreme Power Directors, these fourteen beings function with respect to universe power comparable to the roles of the Seven Supreme Executives and the Seven Master Spirits in general universe administration and cosmic mind, respectively. Havona Centers, numbering one million, oversee the divine universe where perfect energy control exists—an ideal state toward which all power centers and physical controllers aspire. Superuniverse Centers, one thousand per superuniverse capital sphere, receive three currents of primary energy (each with ten segregations) and distribute seven specialized circuits. Local Universe Centers adapt and modify these circuits for constellation and system use, particularly facilitating interplanetary communication through intensified energy lanes. Constellation Centers project energy to tributary systems, while System Centers dispatch power to inhabited worlds, coordinating physical controllers who manage energy distribution on the individual planets. Unclassified Centers serve in special localized functions, distinct from inhabited planetary needs.

The Supreme Power Centers distributed throughout the superuniverses, including all associates and subordinates, number more than ten billion entities functioning in perfect synchrony with their Paradise progenitors, the Seven Supreme Power Directors. The custodianship of grand universe power control is entrusted to the Seven Master Spirits, the creators of the Seven Supreme Power Directors, while these power directors and centers themselves remain exempt from apprehension or interference by all tribunals of space and are not subject to the administrative direction of either the Ancients of Days in the superuniverses or the Creator Sons in the local universes.

These power centers and physical controllers manifest several distinctive characteristics that differentiate them from other universe personalities. Created in perfection without need for training, they always serve in their initially assigned capacities without evolutionary progression through their ranks. Having no ascendant past to revert to in memory, they never engage in play or recreation but maintain constant vigilance over their responsibilities, as the universal scheme provides no mechanism for interrupting the physical lines of energy. Their domain encompasses exclusively power, material or semiphysical energy, which they modify and directionize without originating; they resist the drawing power of physical gravity without generating it. They operate primarily on specially constructed architectural spheres or suitably constituted space bodies rather than on ordinary evolutionary worlds, manipulating the physical energies of organized space—specifically, the three basic currents of ten energies each—with perfect control over seven of these ten energy forms.

The Master Physical Controllers function as the mobile subordinates of the Supreme Power Centers, endowed with remarkable capabilities for individual metamorphosis that enable a diverse range of autotransport, approaching the velocities of Solitary Messengers. However, like all space traversers, they require assistance to overcome gravitational constraints when departing material spheres. These physical controllers serve throughout the grand universe under the governance of the Seven Supreme Power Directors through Paradise, with direction from the superuniverse headquarters by the Council of Equilibrium—high commissioners of power who interpret readings from master frandalanks, living instruments that indicate power pressure and energy charge.

These controllers encompass seven distinct types, each with specialized functions in universal energy management: Associate Power Directors who assign and dispatch other controllers; Mechanical Controllers who directionize energy flow; Energy Transformers who serve as living switches affecting energy disposition; Energy Transmitters who function as living superconductors; Primary Associators who store energy during plus manifestations; Secondary Dissociators who evolve new energy forms; and the Frandalanks and Chronoldeks who serve as living gauges for all forms of force-energy. Not all these orders qualify as persons with individual choice-making capacity, especially the last four types which operate more automatically, yet all exhibit differential intelligence function. Most notable among their abilities is the manipulation of twenty-one of the thirty physical energies of space that constitute a superuniverse power charge, along with six of the nine more subtle energy forms, allowing them to effect remarkable changes in power adjustment and energy control through their positioning and formations.

The Master Force Organizers maintain residence on Paradise but execute their functions throughout the master universe, particularly within the domains of unorganized space. These extraordinary entities, classified neither as creators nor as creatures, comprise two grand divisions of service: Primary Eventuated Master Force Organizers and Associate Transcendental Master Force Organizers. They operate exclusively under the supervision of the Architects of the Master Universe and do not currently function extensively within the established boundaries of the grand universe, their primary domain being the vast regions beyond the organized universes.

The Primary Master Force Organizers manipulate the primordial or foundational space-forces of the Unqualified Absolute, functioning as nebulae creators and instigators of energy cyclones in space. Their essential role involves transmuting primordial force, pre-energy unresponsive to direct Paradise gravity, into primary or puissant energy, which transitions from the exclusive grasp of the Unqualified Absolute to the gravitational influence of Paradise. Subsequently, Associate Force Organizers continue this energy metamorphosis process from primary to secondary or gravity-energy stages. Upon the formulation of plans for local universe creation, signaled by the arrival of a Creator Son, these Associate Master Force Organizers cede their responsibilities to the power directors operating in that superuniverse's astronomical jurisdiction. However, in the absence of such developmental plans, they continue indefinitely supervising these material creations, as currently observed in outer space. These Master Force Organizers demonstrate remarkable resilience to extreme conditions, withstanding temperatures and functioning under physical circumstances that would prove intolerable even to the versatile power centers and physical controllers of Orvonton.
