The Seven Supreme Spirit Groups
  • Summary

    This Paper tells us about seven important spirit groups that help run the universes. These groups are special because they connect the Infinite Spirit with all the different parts of creation. Three of these groups come from the Paradise Trinity, while the other four were created by the Infinite Spirit.

    The Seven Master Spirits lead all these groups and direct the work of the other six groups. Each group has a specific job in the universe, from working at the highest spiritual levels near Paradise to helping with the basic mind functions on worlds like our planet. Together, they form a complete chain of spirit helpers that reaches from Paradise to all the inhabited planets.

  • Introduction

    The seven Supreme Spirit groups are the leaders who coordinate all seven sections of the grand universe. The first three groups—the Master Spirits, Supreme Executives, and Reflective Spirits—are considered children of the Paradise Trinity. The other four groups were created by the Infinite Spirit or others with creative power.

    These seven groups work from Paradise all the way down to the individual planets. The Master Spirits are in charge of this vast administrative system. They sometimes work directly themselves, and other times they work through their many associates. They do not directly contact universe management below the level of the Ancients of Days, who are the superuniverse rulers.

  • 1. The Seven Supreme Executives

    The Master Spirits maintain contact with superuniverse governments through the Supreme Executives. These seven beings were created by the Father, Son, and Spirit based on the specifications of the Master Spirits. They help establish the basic patterns of the seven superuniverses.

    The Supreme Executives coordinate the administration of the grand universe but don't make policies themselves. They simply carry out the plans of the Trinity and the Master Spirits. Each Executive and their staff focuses on one superuniverse only. They manage the affairs of their assigned superuniverse from Paradise satellites named after the superuniverses they oversee.

  • 2. Majeston—Chief of Reflectivity

    The Reflective Spirits came from the Paradise Trinity. There are fifty of these mysterious beings, created seven at a time through a joint effort of the Trinity and the Seven Master Spirits. This creative act was important because it helped establish the Supreme Being's reality.

    Majeston is a special person who was created when the forty-ninth Reflective Spirit appeared. He manages the reflectivity service, which allows instant communication throughout the universes. He stays on Paradise and only deals with this reflectivity system, not getting involved with other universe matters.

  • 3. The Reflective Spirits

    The forty-nine Reflective Spirits were created by the Trinity, with each group of seven showing qualities of one Master Spirit. Seven different types of these Spirits are needed for each superuniverse to perfectly reflect all possible combinations of the three Paradise Deities. That's why seven Reflective Spirits are stationed in each superuniverse capital.

    These Spirits not only transmit information but also store it in their memories. Their children, called seconaphim, also keep records. When they work together with Majeston, these Spirits can represent the power of the undivided Trinity, even though individually they cannot function for the Trinity.

  • 4. The Reflective Image Aids

    The Reflective Spirits created forty-nine Reflective Image Aids, with seven assigned to each superuniverse headquarters. These Aids are perfect copies of their parent Spirits, except they cannot reflect information. They serve as communication channels between the Reflective Spirits and superuniverse authorities.

    The Image Aids help the Reflective Spirits communicate with the Ancients of Days. Sometimes one Aid can handle a message, but other times it takes multiple Aids working together. They have many helper seconaphim but don't directly work with training ascending mortals like us.

  • 5. The Seven Spirits of the Circuits

    The Seven Spirits of the Havona Circuits represent both the Infinite Spirit and the Seven Master Spirits to the seven circuits of the central universe. They were created by the Master Spirits and carry out a unified spiritual supervision of the central universe. Each Spirit works with just one Havona circuit.

    These Spirits contact visitors to Havona through their children, the tertiary supernaphim. Ascending pilgrims can recognize their influence but cannot have personal communication with them. They are similar to Thought Adjusters in that they are impersonal but work with the minds of Havona beings.

  • 6. The Local Universe Creative Spirits

    This section discusses the Creative Spirits who work with Creator Sons to organize and manage local universes. They go through several phases of development during their careers. These phases include their initial identification in Paradise, their training period, the physical creation phase, and the life-creation era.

    In later phases, these Spirits gain more power and status. When a Creator Son completes his seventh bestowal, he elevates his partner Spirit to co-sovereign status. During the ages of light and life, the Creative Spirit enters a sixth phase of existence. There may also be a seventh, unrevealed career phase that awaits these beings.

  • 7. The Adjutant Mind-Spirits

    The adjutant mind-spirits are the sevenfold mind gift that a local universe Mother Spirit gives to living creatures. This happens after the Spirit has been elevated to personality status. These adjutants help the evolutionary minds on the worlds of time and space understand the universe.

    These mind-spirits work with the developing minds of material creatures on evolutionary planets. They help bridge the gap between material and spiritual realities. More information about these mind-spirits can be found in the papers about our local universe of Nebadon.

  • 8. Functions of the Supreme Spirits

    The seven Supreme Spirit groups form the functional family of the Third Source and Center. They connect the Trinity on Paradise with the inhabited worlds of space. Wherever they work, some aspect of the Infinite Spirit is present through them.

    These Spirit groups are the creators of many orders of ministering spirits throughout the universes. They coordinate the grand universe administration on many levels. Together, they form a connection between the Trinity of Paradise Deities and the Creator Son-Creative Spirit union of the local universes.
