Paper 28 Overview: Ministering Spirits of the Superuniverses

This Paper describes the three types of ministering spirits that work in the superuniverses: seconaphim, tertiaphim, and omniaphim. These angels serve different roles in helping run the superuniverses, with the seconaphim being the most important for helping mortal beings on their journey to Paradise.

The seconaphim come in three groups - primary, secondary, and tertiary - and each performs special duties. They help the rulers of the superuniverses understand what is happening throughout all realms and assist ascending mortals as they prepare for their journey to Havona and Paradise.

The seconaphim are the angelic hosts of the superuniverses, just as the supernaphim belong to the central universe and the seraphim serve in local universes. While resembling supernaphim in their divine nature, seconaphim have different duties and powers. This Paper will cover three orders of superuniverse ministering spirits.

The ministering spirits of the superuniverses include seconaphim, tertiaphim, and omniaphim. Since the last two groups are not directly involved with mortal progression, they will be briefly discussed before a more detailed look at the seconaphim, who directly assist ascending mortals.

The tertiaphim are high angels recorded at superuniverse headquarters, but they actually serve in local universes. They are children of the Infinite Spirit and are created on Paradise in groups of one thousand. These special beings are given as gifts to the Creator Sons.

When a Michael Son leaves Paradise to create his own universe, the Infinite Spirit gives him one thousand tertiaphim as companions. These angels help the Creator Son during the early stages of universe building. After the Bright Morning Star appears, the tertiaphim resign and become messengers between the Creator Son and the Ancients of Days.

Omniaphim are created by the Infinite Spirit working with the Seven Supreme Executives. They serve as messengers for these Supreme Executives only. Their main purpose is to work throughout the grand universe, not just in one area.

In the Orvonton superuniverse, the omniaphim have their headquarters in the northern region of Uversa. Although they are present there as guests, they are not directly connected to the Uversa government or administration. Their job does not directly involve helping ascending mortals progress to Paradise.

The seconaphim are created by the seven Reflective Spirits assigned to each superuniverse headquarters. They always appear in groups of seven: one primary, three secondary, and three tertiary angels. The primary ones work with the Ancients of Days, the secondary ones assist Paradise administrators, and the tertiary angels help the ascending trinitized sons.

These angels have the ability to reflect information from any source connected to the Third Source and Center or the Paradise Creator Sons. While they cannot directly reflect beings or entities from the First Source and Center, their abilities prove the reality of the universal mind of the Infinite Spirit.

The primary seconaphim serve as living mirrors for the Ancients of Days. They can instantly show and transmit information from beings across the superuniverse. This ability helps the Ancients of Days see and hear what is happening everywhere in their realm without delay.

Primary seconaphim naturally divide into seven types of service. These include: the Voice of the Conjoint Actor, the Voice of the Seven Master Spirits, the Voice of the Creator Sons, the Voice of the Angelic Hosts, Broadcast Receivers, Transport Personalities, and the Reserve Corps. Each has unique abilities to help the Ancients of Days govern their superuniverse.

Secondary seconaphim are just as reflective as primary seconaphim. The terms primary, secondary, and tertiary only indicate their order of creation and service, not any difference in their abilities. They are assigned to help the Paradise-origin associates of the Ancients of Days.

There are seven types of secondary seconaphim. Three types serve the Perfectors of Wisdom: the Voices of Wisdom, the Souls of Philosophy, and the Unions of Souls. Three types help the Divine Counselors: the Hearts of Counsel, the Joys of Existence, and the Satisfactions of Service. One type assists the Universal Censors: the Discerners of Spirits.

Tertiary seconaphim are created in the same way as the other two orders. However, instead of being assigned to specific administrators, they are collectively assigned to the Trinitized Sons of Attainment. These sons use the tertiary seconaphim interchangeably in their work.

There are seven types of tertiary seconaphim: the Significance of Origins, the Memory of Mercy, the Import of Time, the Solemnity of Trust, the Sanctity of Service, and the twin angels called the Secret of Greatness and the Soul of Goodness. These last two always work together because greatness and goodness cannot be separated in the universe.

Seconaphim work throughout the superuniverses, from Paradise to the evolving worlds of space. They help the supergovernments and provide valuable service to many beings, including ascending mortals. The Ancients of Days assign primary seconaphim to help ascending creatures who are studying on the worlds surrounding Uversa.

Tertiary seconaphim help ascending creatures the most. You will meet them soon after leaving Urantia, although you won't fully use their services until you reach the waiting worlds of Orvonton. They save time, shorten space journeys, detect errors, teach faithfully, and guide pilgrims through uncertain times. Urantia does not have full access to these reflective angels due to the partial spiritual quarantine of your world.
