Paper 19 Overview: The Co:ordinate Trinity-Origin Beings

This Paper examines seven categories of beings who originate directly from the Paradise Trinity, including the Trinity Teacher Sons, three groups of superuniverse administrators (Perfectors of Wisdom, Divine Counselors, and Universal Censors), the mysterious Inspired Trinity Spirits, and the inhabitants of Paradise and Havona. These beings serve essential functions in the administration and spiritual advancement of the universes, providing wisdom, counsel, judgment, and spiritual enlightenment throughout creation. Their roles range from educational to administrative to judicial.

The Co-ordinate Trinity-origin beings possess remarkable abilities befitting their divine status, including rapid transit throughout the universes and instantaneous communication with one another. Though created with free will, none have ever deviated from divine purpose. They represent the perfect expression of Trinity qualities, though many work in partnership with experiential beings to balance divine perfection with the wisdom gained through evolutionary experience, together creating an effective administrative system for the grand universe.

The Co-ordinate Trinity-origin Beings constitute a Paradise group that includes the Trinity Teacher Sons (who are also classified among the Paradise Sons of God), three groups of high superuniverse administrators, and the somewhat impersonal category of Inspired Trinity Spirits. This classification also appropriately includes Havona natives and numerous beings who reside on Paradise. The Paper specifically addresses seven types of Trinity-origin beings: Trinity Teacher Sons, Perfectors of Wisdom, Divine Counselors, Universal Censors, Inspired Trinity Spirits, Havona Natives, and Paradise Citizens.

Except for the Trinity Teacher Sons and possibly the Inspired Trinity Spirits, these groups exist in definite, fixed numbers as their creation is a finished and past event. The remaining sections of the Paper will explore each of these seven categories in detail, explaining their origins, functions, and contributions to the grand universe administration.

Trinity Teacher Sons are unique among high celestial personalities because they function in a dual capacity. Though they originate from the Trinity, they work primarily to bridge the universe gap between Trinity-origin and dual-origin personalities. Unlike other Stationary Sons of the Trinity whose numbers are fixed, the Teacher Sons continually increase in number, with over 21 billion reported in service according to the most recent Paradise records.

The Trinity Teacher Sons serve as supreme coordinating personalities who help prevent the errors that come from limited, segmentalized views of reality. They advocate for studying any problem—human or divine, terrestrial or cosmic—through the full correlation of three phases: origin, history, and destiny. When humans try to understand by moving from lower to higher (as in biology or theology), they risk four serious errors: failing to perceive the final goal, oversimplifying reality, misunderstanding present status by focusing only on causation, and failing to see future development by looking only at beginnings. For these reasons, these revelations approach human problems by starting from the infinite and eternal perspective of Paradise rather than the limited human viewpoint.

The Perfectors of Wisdom are specialized creations of the Paradise Trinity designed to personify divine wisdom in the superuniverses. There are exactly seven billion of these beings, with precisely one billion assigned to each of the seven superuniverses. Like their colleagues the Divine Counselors and Universal Censors, they passed through the wisdom schools of Paradise and Havona before being permanently assigned to serve with the Ancients of Days in superuniverse administration.

Wherever a Perfector of Wisdom functions, divine wisdom is actively present and perfectly manifested. They do not merely reflect the wisdom of the Paradise Trinity—they are that wisdom incarnate. However, their divine insight must be complemented by the experiential wisdom of evolutionary beings. Divine perfection of knowledge must be balanced with the experiential perfection of ascending mortals who have progressed through evolutionary tribulations. The Perfectors of Wisdom work closely with ascendant personalities who have risen to positions of superuniverse authority, creating a powerful combination of divine insight and hard-earned experiential understanding that produces the highest form of administrative wisdom.

Divine Counselors are Trinity-origin beings who embody the counsel of Deity to the realms of the seven superuniverses. There are twenty-one billion Counselors in service, with three billion assigned to each superuniverse. They do not merely reflect the divine counsel of the Trinity—they are that counsel personified. They work as associates and equals with the Universal Censors and Perfectors of Wisdom in the government of the Ancients of Days.

Divine Counselors often function in tribunals with Perfectors of Wisdom and Universal Censors, with one Perfector of Wisdom, seven Divine Counselors, and one Universal Censor forming the highest mobile advisory body in the universes. When such a tribunal renders a decision, it carries the same weight as if an Ancient of Days had made the judgment, as their verdict has never been reversed. When supplemented by the experiential counsel of Trinity-embraced evolutionary beings and confirmed by a Universal Censor, their combined conclusions approach universal totality. Seven Divine Counselors working with evolved trinity-embraced beings represent the closest superuniverse approximation to the union of human viewpoint and divine attitude.

There are exactly eight billion Universal Censors in existence who embody the judgment of the Paradise Trinity. Unlike other advisors who reflect perfection, the Censors are the actual judgment of Deity. Even the Ancients of Days only render judgment when working in association with the Universal Censors. One billion Censors are assigned to each superuniverse, and one Censor is commissioned on each of the billion worlds of the central universe of Havona.

When a Universal Censor is present, the judgment of Deity is actively present. Censors function as "totaling personalities" who reveal an unerring and divine conclusion after all evidence and testimony has been presented. After a Censor has spoken, no one else may speak, as they have provided the perfect total of everything that has transpired. The Divine Counselor who authored this Paper admits to not fully understanding how Censors formulate their judgments, suggesting they create new meanings from the association of facts and truths. The Trinity-origin administrators, including Perfectors of Wisdom, Divine Counselors, and Universal Censors, serve as the grand corps of Trinity administrators throughout the universes.

The Inspired Trinity Spirits are one of the few completely secret orders of beings in existence. They come into being through the action of the Paradise Trinity and may be used by any one, two, or all three Deities. The author of this Paper is uncertain whether their numbers are fixed or increasing, but inclines toward the belief that they are constantly increasing. These Spirits seem to operate independently of time and space, and little is known about their nature or conduct.

Under certain conditions, these Inspired Spirits can individualize themselves enough to be recognized by beings of Trinity origin, but lower orders of celestial beings cannot recognize them. The author has observed their presence through a Solitary Messenger's ability to detect them, noting that at the time of writing this Paper, three Inspired Spirits were functioning nearby. The author believes these Spirits may be serving as unconscious teachers, imparting essential spiritual knowledge through superconscious techniques that could not be received through self-conscious methods. Except for Solitary Messengers, even the celestial beings are unaware of the Inspired Spirits' presence, though their influence may explain otherwise inexplicable spiritual experiences.

The Havona natives are direct creations of the Paradise Trinity, and their number exceeds human comprehension. These divinely perfect beings inhabit the eternal central universe. Ascending mortals will meet these glorious creatures during their sojourn on the billion worlds of Havona, developing lasting friendships that benefit both parties—mortals gain from the natives' divine perfection, while the natives learn from mortals' experiential growth.

Unlike some Trinity-origin personalities whose status is fixed, Havona natives can evolve and may have an unrevealed eternal destiny. Some have already qualified for fusion with a Father fragment and joined the Mortal Corps of the Finality. As Havona natives continue to leave for finaliter service and no new natives are being created, their number in Havona is gradually diminishing. This has led to speculation about the future population of Havona, with possibilities including permanent residence for univitatia (constellation citizens), future types of light and life mortals, or incoming spiritual beings from outer universes. These changes may be preparing Havona for the next universe age.

There are many superb beings residing on Paradise called Paradise Citizens. More than three thousand orders of these intelligences exist, with the last group having been personalized simultaneously with the Trinity's mandate that created the seven superuniverses. These beings are not directly involved with the plan for perfecting ascending will creatures and are therefore not fully revealed to Urantia mortals.

Paradise Citizens and Havona natives are sometimes collectively designated as Paradise-Havona personalities. This completes the account of beings created by the Paradise Trinity, none of whom have ever gone astray despite being endowed with genuine free will. Trinity-origin beings possess the ability to travel remarkably fast throughout the universes, though not as quickly as Solitary Messengers. They can reach any point in a superuniverse from its headquarters in less than one Urantia year. They also have the ability to communicate instantaneously with each other, maintaining contact with every division of the Paradise Trinity's children except the Inspired Spirits.
