Discover The Urantia Book \Papers\Intermediate \The Supreme Trinity Personalities
Supreme Trinity Personalities act on behalf of the Paradise Trinity, coordinating divine plans across universes. They reveal the unity of Deity, uphold justice, and bring personal ministry to evolving beings throughout creation.
Reading Level:
The Supreme Trinity Personalities are created beings who serve as the perfect administrators of the Paradise Trinity throughout all realms of the universe. These beings exist in seven distinct orders, each with specific responsibilities spanning from the innermost circuits of Paradise to the local universes and their component constellations. Their creation is a completed past event, and they embody the justice, judgment, and administrative policies of the Paradise Trinity with absolute perfection and unwavering loyalty.
The administrative framework of these personalities establishes a seamless chain of divine governance extending throughout the grand universe. From the Trinitized Secrets of Supremacy who manage the seven sacred worlds nearest Paradise, to the Faithfuls of Days who advise constellation rulers, these Trinity-origin beings ensure consistent administration across vastly different cosmic domains. Their presence guarantees that the divine will and wisdom of the Paradise Trinity is perfectly represented at every level of cosmic governance.
Supreme Trinity Personalities are beings created specifically by the divine Trinity for the fulfillment of certain administrative duties throughout the universes. They are designed to serve with absolute perfection of technique and complete devotion to their responsibilities. The seven orders of these personalities include: Trinitized Secrets of Supremacy, Eternals of Days, Ancients of Days, Perfections of Days, Recents of Days, Unions of Days, and Faithfuls of Days. Their creation is a completed past event, with no new members being added to their ranks.
Throughout the grand universe, these Supreme Trinity Personalities represent the administrative policies and executive judgment of the Paradise Trinity. They form an interconnected network of administrative perfection that extends from the Paradise spheres of the Father to the headquarters worlds of local universes and their component constellations. All Trinity-origin beings are created with Paradise perfection in all their divine attributes, and only through experience in the realms of time have they added to their cosmic capabilities. There has never been any danger of default or risk of rebellion with these beings, as they are of divine essence and remain steadfastly loyal to their perfect path of service.
The innermost circuit of Paradise satellites consists of seven exalted worlds, each presided over by a corps of ten Trinitized Secrets of Supremacy. These seventy supreme directors are not creators but rather supreme and ultimate administrators of these special realms. The management of these seven fraternal spheres is completely entrusted to this corps of seventy directors, and these worlds are universally recognized as the personal circuit of the Universal Father.
The Trinitized Secrets of Supremacy function in coordinated groups of ten as joint directors of their respective spheres, but they also serve individually in specific fields of responsibility. The work of each special world is divided into seven major departments, with one of these coordinated rulers presiding over each division of specialized activities. The remaining three act as personal representatives of the triune Deity—one representing the Father, one the Son, and one the Spirit. Although there is a definite class resemblance among the Trinitized Secrets of Supremacy, they also display seven distinct group characteristics that reflect the Deity or Deity association characteristic of the domain they oversee. The Divine Counselor reveals little about their work, stating that the Secrets of Supremacy truly embody personality secrets of Deity association with the seven basic groupings of universe beings.
Each of the billion worlds of Havona is directed by a Supreme Trinity Personality known as an Eternal of Days. There are exactly one billion of these rulers, one for each perfect Havona sphere. Like the Secrets of Supremacy, there are no records of their origin, though they are offspring of the Paradise Trinity. These wise fathers have eternally ruled their magnificent worlds in the Paradise-Havona system, functioning without rotation or reassignment.
The Eternals of Days are visible to all will creatures dwelling in their domains and preside over regular planetary assemblies. They periodically visit the headquarters spheres of the seven superuniverses by rotation. They are closely related to and divine equals of the Ancients of Days who govern the superuniverses. When an Eternal of Days is absent from his sphere, a Trinity Teacher Son assumes direction of the world. Each Eternal has developed their respective sphere according to their own personal ideas and ideals, making each world uniquely beautiful and entirely different from every other world in the central universe. Ascending mortals will spend time on each of these fascinating spheres during their inward journey through Havona toward Paradise.
When mortals of time advance from their local universe training worlds to the educational spheres of their superuniverse, they have progressed spiritually to the point where they can recognize and communicate with the high spiritual rulers of these advanced realms, including the Ancients of Days. These supreme rulers are all fundamentally identical, revealing the combined character and unified nature of the Trinity, although they possess individual personality differences.
The Ancients of Days provide uniform direction to the otherwise different seven superuniverses. Unlike the Seven Master Spirits who vary in nature and attributes, the Ancients of Days are all uniform and superperfect offspring of the Paradise Trinity. They superimpose administrative uniformity on the creative diversity characteristic of the seven segments of the grand universe, ensuring harmony despite the underlying creational differences. These high beings were all trinitized simultaneously, representing the beginning of personality records in the universe of universes. They always govern in groups of three and never personally leave their residential worlds, relying instead on the far-flung reflectivity system. In power, scope of authority, and extent of jurisdiction, they are the most powerful direct rulers of the time-space creations, possessing the high powers of final executive judgment concerning the eternal extinction of will creatures.
There are exactly two hundred and ten Perfections of Days who preside over the governments of the ten major sectors of each superuniverse. These Trinity-origin personalities were trinitized specifically to assist the superuniverse directors and function as the immediate personal representatives of the Ancients of Days in the major sector governments.
Three Perfections of Days are assigned to each major sector capital, though unlike the Ancients of Days, all three need not be present at all times. One may occasionally travel to consult with the Ancients of Days concerning the welfare of the realm. These triune rulers excel in mastering administrative details, hence their name—Perfections of Days. When recording their names, the Divine Counselor notes the difficulty of translating them into human language in a meaningful way. The Perfections of Days have a moderate-sized corps of Divine Counselors, Perfectors of Wisdom, and Universal Censors attached to their governments, along with larger numbers of Mighty Messengers, Those High in Authority, and Those without Name and Number. Much of the routine work of major sector affairs is carried out by Celestial Guardians and High Son Assistants, who are drawn from the trinitized offspring of Paradise-Havona personalities or glorified mortal finaliters.
The Recents of Days are the youngest of the supreme directors of the superuniverses, governing in groups of three over the affairs of the minor sectors. In nature, they are coordinated with the Perfections of Days, but in administrative authority they are subordinate. There are exactly twenty-one thousand of these personally glorious and divinely efficient Trinity personalities, created simultaneously and trained in Havona under the Eternals of Days.
The Recents of Days have associates and assistants similar to those of the Perfections of Days, plus enormous numbers of various subordinate celestial beings. The governments of the minor sectors are heavily concerned with the great physical problems of the superuniverses, serving as headquarters for the Master Physical Controllers. On these worlds, ascending mortals conduct studies and experiments examining the activities of the third order of Supreme Power Centers and all seven orders of Master Physical Controllers. The Recents of Days rarely are all present at the sector capital simultaneously, as one is often away conferring with the Perfections of Days, representing the Ancients of Days at Paradise conclaves, or inspecting the local universe headquarters worlds under their jurisdiction. All ascending mortals will meet the three Recents of Days governing their minor sector, Ensa, as they journey inward toward the training worlds of the major sectors.
The Trinity personalities of the order of "Days" do not function administratively below the superuniverse level, but serve as counselors and advisers at lower levels. The Unions of Days are a group of liaison personalities accredited by the Paradise Trinity to the dual rulers of the local universes. Each organized and inhabited local universe has one of these Paradise counselors assigned to it, acting as a representative of the Trinity and, in some respects, of the Universal Father.
There are seven hundred thousand Unions of Days in existence, though not all have been commissioned for service. The reserve corps functions on Paradise as the Supreme Council of Universe Adjustments. These Trinity observers coordinate the administrative activities of all branches of universal government, from local universes through sector governments to the superuniverse. They make a threefold report: physical and semi-intellectual data to the Recents of Days, intellectual and quasi-spiritual information to the Perfections of Days, and spiritual and semi-paradisiacal matters to the Ancients of Days. As Trinity-origin beings, they have access to all Paradise circuits for intercommunication and are always in contact with each other and with all required personalities up to the supreme councils of Paradise. Although not organically connected to the local universe government, a Union of Days participates in all important councils but does not involve himself in the technical consideration of administrative problems unless requested.
These high Trinity-origin personalities serve as the Paradise advisers to the rulers of the one hundred constellations in each local universe. There are seventy million Faithfuls of Days, though like the Unions of Days, not all are currently in service. Their Paradise reserve corps is the Advisory Commission of Interuniverse Ethics and Self-government, and they rotate in service according to the rulings of this supreme council.
The relationship between a Faithful of Days and a constellation ruler parallels that between a Union of Days and a Creator Son of a local universe. These beings are supremely devoted to the welfare of their assigned constellations, acting only as counselors and never participating in administrative activities except by invitation. They are not directly involved in the educational ministry to ascending pilgrims on the architectural training spheres surrounding constellation headquarters, as such activities fall under the supervision of the Vorondadek Sons. The Faithfuls of Days in a local universe are under the jurisdiction of and report directly to the Union of Days. Their communication is largely limited to interactions within their local universe. They maintain personal residences on the constellation capitals separate from the administrative directors of these realms, with modest homes compared to those of the Vorondadek rulers. The Faithfuls of Days represent the final link in the long administrative-advisory chain extending from the sacred spheres near the center of all things to the primary divisions of the local universes.
