The Seven Supreme Spirit Groups

The Urantia Book; Paper 17, Section 0

^{P197:1, 17:0.1} The seven Supreme Spirit groups are the universal co-ordinating directors of the seven-segmented administration of the grand universe. Although all are classed among the functional family of the Infinite Spirit, the following three groups are usually classified as children of the Paradise Trinity:

1. The Seven Master Spirits.
2. The Seven Supreme Executives.
3. The Reflective Spirits.

^{P197:5, 17:0.2} The remaining four groups are brought into being by the creative acts of the Infinite Spirit or by his associates of creative status:

1. The Reflective Image Aids.
2. The Seven Spirits of the Circuits.
3. The Local Universe Creative Spirits.
4. The Adjutant Mind-Spirits.

^{P197:10, 17:0.3} These seven orders are known on Uversa as the seven Supreme Spirit groups. Their functional domain extends from the personal presence of the Seven Master Spirits on the periphery of the eternal Isle, through the seven Paradise satellites of the Spirit, the Havona circuits, the governments of the superuniverses, and the administration and supervision of the local universes, even to the lowly service of the adjutants bestowed upon the realms of evolutionary mind on the worlds of time and space.

^{P197:11, 17:0.4} The Seven Master Spirits are the co-ordinating directors of this far-flung administrative realm. In some matters pertaining to the administrative regulation of organized physical power, mind energy, and impersonal spirit ministry, they act personally and directly, and in others they function through their multifarious associates. In all matters of an executive nature -- rulings, regulations, adjustments, and administrative decisions -- the Master Spirits act in the persons of the Seven Supreme Executives. In the central universe the Master Spirits may function through the Seven Spirits of the Havona Circuits; on the headquarters of the seven superuniverses they reveal themselves through the channel of the Reflective Spirits and act through the persons of the Ancients of Days, with whom they are in personal communication through the Reflective Image Aids.

^{P197:12, 17:0.5} The Seven Master Spirits do not directly and personally contact universe administration below the courts of the Ancients of Days. Your local universe is administered as a part of our superuniverse by the Master Spirit of Orvonton, but his function in relation to the native beings of Nebadon is immediately discharged and personally directed by the Creative Mother Spirit resident on Salvington, the headquarters of your local universe.
