Supernaphim are the highest order of angels who serve in Paradise and the central universe. They help both Paradise residents and ascending pilgrims from the worlds of time and space. These ministering spirits are organized into three main orders - primary, secondary, and tertiary supernaphim.
Each type of supernaphim has specific duties in helping beings progress toward God. They teach, guide, and assist all who travel to Paradise, especially helping pilgrims understand worship, rest, and personal growth. Their loving service makes the journey to Paradise possible for beings from all parts of the universe.
Supernaphim are the highest type of angel in Paradise and the central universe. They are the highest ranking of the lowest group of the children of the Infinite Spirit. These ministering spirits can be found everywhere from Paradise to the worlds of time and space.
No major part of the organized and inhabited creation exists without their services. They are vital helpers to both the beings who live in Paradise and those who are traveling there from the far reaches of space.
Angels are the spiritual helpers of the will creatures throughout space. They are highly individual beings with a great capacity for appreciating the work of the reversion directors. The ministering spirits enjoy periods of rest and have very social natures that go beyond what humans can imagine.
The ministering spirits of the grand universe are classified into seven types, from supernaphim to midway creatures. These angels can advance in status, with some becoming Paradise Companions or Celestial Recorders. The seven orders are grouped based on their importance to ascending creatures from the worlds of time.
Supernaphim are skilled ministers to all beings who live on Paradise and in the central universe. They are created in three major orders: primary, secondary, and tertiary. Primary supernaphim work with Paradise Citizens and ascending pilgrims, helping these very different groups understand each other.
Secondary supernaphim direct the affairs of ascending beings on the seven circuits of Havona. There are seven types of these angels, each created by one of the Seven Master Spirits. They serve on the planetary circuits of the central universe, helping both the ascending pilgrims of time and the descending pilgrims of eternity.
Tertiary supernaphim serve the Seven Master Spirits and help both ascending and descending pilgrims. On the billion study worlds of Havona, all supernaphic orders are visible to you. Ascending pilgrims from the seven superuniverses pass through Havona in the opposite direction from descending pilgrims, entering through the seventh circuit and moving inward.
The tertiary supernaphim assigned to time pilgrims are classified in seven groups with specific functions. These include Harmony Supervisors, Chief Recorders, Broadcasters, Messengers, Intelligence Coordinators, Transport Personalities, and the Reserve Corps. Each group has important duties in helping pilgrims progress through Havona.
Secondary supernaphim minister to the seven planetary circuits of the central universe. Half of this order helps time pilgrims, while the other half trains Paradise pilgrims of eternity. These Paradise Citizens are also helped by volunteers from the Mortal Finality Corps in their Havona journeys.
Secondary supernaphim working with ascending pilgrims are divided into seven groups: Pilgrim Helpers, Supremacy Guides, Trinity Guides, Son Finders, Father Guides, Counselors and Advisers, and Complements of Rest. Each pilgrim is taught by supernaphim originating from the Master Spirit who rules their superuniverse, making them specially qualified to help.
Pilgrim helpers are the first group of secondary supernaphim that ascending travelers meet. These angels welcome space travelers to the stabilized worlds of the central universe while also beginning work with Paradise pilgrims of eternity. The first meeting of time-space pilgrims and Paradise pilgrims happened on the receiving world of circuit number four.
The pilgrim helpers teach ascending mortals in three major divisions: understanding the Paradise Trinity, comprehending the Father-Son partnership, and recognizing the Infinite Spirit. Before reaching Havona, these pilgrims have learned to face uncertainty, disappointment, and difficulties with courage and faith. Their battle cry is "In liaison with God, nothing is impossible."
Ascenders are called "spiritual graduates" when they move from the seventh to the sixth circle and come under the care of the supremacy guides. These guides should not be confused with the Graduate Guides who belong to the Higher Personalities of the Infinite Spirit and serve on all Havona circuits.
On the sixth circle, pilgrims gain a new understanding of Supreme Divinity. Through their long careers in the evolutionary universes, pilgrims have experienced the reality of an almighty control of the time-space creations. Here, they come close to encountering the central universe source of time-space unity—the spiritual reality of God the Supreme.
Trinity guides are the tireless ministers of the fifth circle of Havona. Spiritual graduates are here called "candidates for the Deity adventure" as they receive advanced instruction about the divine Trinity. On this circle, pilgrims discover what true study and real mental effort mean compared to the challenges ahead.
Trinity guides give complete attention and affection to each pilgrim. Without these guides, no pilgrim of time would find the first approachable person of the Paradise Trinity. After completing training on this circuit, Trinity guides present their pupils to a commission that examines and certifies candidates for the Deity adventure.
The fourth Havona circuit is sometimes called the "circuit of the Sons." Here, ascending pilgrims go to Paradise to achieve contact with the Eternal Son, while descending pilgrims learn about the Creator Sons of time and space. On seven worlds in this circuit, the Paradise Michaels maintain special service schools for both types of pilgrims.
Son finders help ascending mortals prepare for realizing the Trinity relationships of the Eternal Son. They instruct their subjects so they can: spiritually comprehend the Son, recognize the Son's personality, and properly distinguish the Son from the Infinite Spirit. After finding the Spirit, no more examinations are conducted—tests on inner circles depend on the pilgrim's spirituality.
When a pilgrim soul reaches the third circle of Havona, they come under the guidance of the Father guides. These highly skilled superaphic ministers maintain schools of wisdom and colleges of technique where all beings in the central universe serve as teachers. Everything possible is done to help creatures of time in their journey to eternity.
Finding the Universal Father is the passport to eternity, even though more circuits remain to be crossed. It marks the moment when the last venture of time is about to happen. From the bottom of existence, the creature of time has climbed the evolutionary spheres of space, proving the feasibility of the ascension plan and demonstrating the righteousness of God's command: "Be you perfect, even as I am perfect."
The superaphic counselors and advisers of the second circle teach the children of time about the career of eternity. Reaching Paradise brings new and higher responsibilities, and the second circle provides opportunity to receive helpful advice from these devoted supernaphim.
These beings also comfort pilgrims who failed in their first attempt at Deity attainment. Such disappointed pilgrims are examined by councils of perfection on the second circle's pilot world and certified as having passed the Havona test as far as nonspiritual status is concerned. Their spirit was acceptable, but they failed in some aspect of approach or experiential background.
Ascending pilgrims spend much time on the last circuit studying the challenges of Paradise residence. The inner ring of Havona worlds has many permanent and temporary residents, giving the superaphic complements of rest a rich environment to help educate ascending pilgrims about adjusting to the many groups of beings they will meet on Paradise.
Among those on the inner circuit are the creature-trinitized sons, including offspring of mortal finaliters. Near the end of the first-circle journey, ascending pilgrims meet the instigators of rest from Paradise. These angels prepare pilgrims for the transition sleep of the last resurrection. Perfected pilgrims begin this rest on the first circle of Havona but awaken on the shores of Paradise as children of eternity.
