MASTER+PHYSICAL+CONTROLLERS

== Urantia Text [|Paper 29]:[|4. THE MASTER PHYSICAL CONTROLLERS] ==

29:4.1 These beings are the mobile subordinates of the [|Supreme Power Centers]. The physical controllers are endowed with [|capabilities] of [|individuality] [|metamorphosis] of such a [|nature] that they can engage in a remarkable variety of autotransport, being able to traverse local [|space] at [|velocities] approaching the flight of [|Solitary Messengers]. But like all other space traversers they require the [|assistance] of both their fellows and certain other [|types] of [|beings] in overcoming the [|action] of [|gravity] and the [|resistance] of [|inertia] in departing from a [|material] [|sphere]. 29:4.2 The //Master Physical Controllers// serve throughout the [|grand universe]. They are directly governed from [|Paradise] by the [|Seven Supreme Power Directors] as far as the [|headquarters] of the [|superuniverses]; from here they are directed and distributed by the Council of Equilibrium, the high commissioners of power dispatched by the [|Seven Master Spirits] from the personnel of the [|Associate Master Force Organizers]. These high commissioners are empowered to [|interpret] the [|readings] and registrations of the master [|frandalanks], those living instruments which indicate the [|power] [|pressure] and the [|energy] charge of an entire [|superuniverse]. 29:4.3 While the [|presence] of the [|Paradise Deities] encircles the [|grand universe] and sweeps around the [|circle] of [|eternity], the [|influence] of any one of the [|Seven Master Spirits] is limited to a single [|superuniverse]. There is a distinct [|segregation] of [|energy] and a separation of the [|circuits] of [|power] between each of the [|seven supercreations]; hence [|individualized] [|control] [|methods] must and do prevail. 29:4.4 The //Master Physical Controllers// are the direct [|offspring] of the [|Supreme Power Centers], and their numbers include the following: 29:4.5 Not all of these orders are [|persons] in the sense of [|possessing] [|individual] [|powers] of [|choice]. Especially do the last four seem to be wholly [|automatic] and [|mechanical] in [|response] to the impulses of their superiors and in reaction to existing energy conditions. But though such [|response] appears wholly [|mechanistic], it is not; they may seem to be [|automatons], but all of them disclose the [|differential] [|function] of [|intelligence]. 29:4.6 [|Personality] is not [|necessarily] a concomitant of [|mind]. Mind can [|think] even when deprived of all [|power] of [|choice], as in numerous of the lower types of [|animals] and in certain of these subordinate physical controllers. Many of these more [|automatic] regulators of [|physical] [|power] are not [|persons] in any sense of the term. They are not [|endowed] with [|will] and [|independence] of [|decision], being wholly subservient to the [|mechanical] [|perfection] of [|design] for the tasks of their allotment. Nonetheless all of them are highly [|intelligent] [|beings]. 29:4.7 The physical controllers are chiefly occupied in the [|adjustment] of basic energies undiscovered on [|Urantia]. These [|unknown] [|energies] are very [|essential] to the [|interplanetary] [|system] of transport and to certain [|techniques] of [|communication]. When we lay lines of [|energy] for the [|purpose] of conveying [|sound] equivalents or of extending [|vision], these undiscovered [|forms] of [|energy] are utilized by the living physical controllers and their [|associates]. These same energies are also, on occasion, used by the [|midway creatures] in their routine [|work]. 29:4.8 1. //Associate Power Directors//. These [|marvelously] [|efficient] [|beings] are intrusted with the assignment and dispatch of all orders of the Master Physical Controllers in accordance with the ever-shifting needs of the constantly [|changing] [|energy] [|status] of the realms. The vast reserves of the physical controllers are [|maintained] on the [|headquarters] worlds of the [|minor sectors], and from these [|concentration] points they are periodically dispatched by the associate power directors to the [|headquarters] of the [|universes], [|constellations], and [|systems], and to the [|individual] [|planets]. When thus assigned, the physical controllers are provisionally subject to the orders of the [|divine] [|executioners] of the conciliating commissions but are otherwise solely amenable to their [|associate] directors and to the [|Supreme Power Centers]. 29:4.9 Three million associate power directors are assigned to each of the [|Orvonton] [|minor sectors], making a [|total] of three billion as the [|superuniverse] quota of these amazingly [|versatile] [|beings]. Their own reserves are [|maintained] on these same [|minor sector worlds], where they also serve as [|instructors] of all who [|study] [|the sciences] of the [|techniques] of [|intelligent] [|energy] [|control] and [|transmutation]. 29:4.10 These directors alternate periods of [|executive] [|service] in the [|minor sectors] with equal periods of inspection [|service] to the realms of [|space]. At least one acting inspector is always present in each [|local system], [|maintaining] [|headquarters] on its capital sphere. They keep the whole vast living energy aggregation in [|harmonious] [|synchrony]. 29:4.11 2. //Mechanical Controllers//. These are the exceedingly [|versatile] and mobile assistants of the associate power directors. Trillions upon trillions of them are commissioned in [|Ensa], your minor sector. These [|beings] are called [|mechanical] controllers because they are so completely dominated by their superiors, so fully subservient to the [|will] of the associate power directors. Nevertheless they are, themselves, very [|intelligent], and their [|work], though [|mechanical] and matter-of-[|fact] in [|nature], is [|skillfully] [|performed]. 29:4.12 Of all the //Master Physical Controllers// assigned to the [|inhabited worlds], the mechanical controllers are by far the most [|powerful]. [|Possessing] the living [|endowment] of [|antigravity] in excess of all other beings, each controller has a [|gravity] [|resistance] equaled only by enormous [|spheres] revolving at tremendous [|velocity]. Ten of these controllers are now stationed on [|Urantia], and one of their most important [|planetary] activities is to facilitate the departure of [|seraphic transports]. In so functioning, all ten of the mechanical controllers [|act] in [|unison] while a battery of one thousand energy transmitters provides the initial [|momentum] for the [|seraphic] departure. 29:4.13 The mechanical controllers are competent to directionize the [|flow] of [|energy] and to facilitate its [|concentration] into the specialized currents or [|circuits]. These mighty [|beings] have much to do with the [|segregation], directionization, and [|intensification] of the [|physical] [|energies] and with the [|equalization] of the [|pressures] of the [|interplanetary] [|circuits]. They are expert in the [|manipulation] of twenty-one of the thirty physical energies of [|space], [|constituting] the [|power] [|charge] of a [|superuniverse]. They are also able to accomplish much towards the [|management] and [|control] of six of the nine more [|subtle] [|forms] of [|physical] [|energy]. By placing these controllers in proper technical [|relationship] to each other and to certain of the power centers, the associate power directors are enabled to effect unbelievable [|changes] in [|power] [|adjustment] and [|energy] [|control]. 29:4.14 The Master Physical Controllers often [|function] in batteries of hundreds, thousands, and even millions and by varying their positions and formations are able to effect [|energy] [|control] in a [|collective] as well as an [|individual] [|capacity]. As requirements vary, they can upstep and accelerate the [|energy] volume and [|movement] or detain, condense, and retard the [|energy] currents. They [|influence] [|energy] and [|power] [|transformations] somewhat as so-called catalytic [|agents] augment [|chemical] reactions. They [|function] by [|inherent] [|ability] and in [|co-operation] with the [|Supreme Power Centers]. 29:4.15 3. //Energy Transformers//. The [|number] of these [|beings] in a [|superuniverse] is unbelievable. There are almost one million in [|Satania] alone, and the usual quota is one hundred for each [|inhabited world]. 29:4.16 The energy transformers are the conjoint [|creation] of the [|Seven Supreme Power Directors] and the Seven Central Supervisors. They are among the more [|personal] orders of physical controllers, and except when an associate power director is present on an [|inhabited world], the transformers are in command. They are the planetary inspectors of all departing [|seraphic transports]. All classes of [|celestial] life can utilize the less [|personal] orders of the physical controllers only by [|liaison] with the more [|personal] orders of the associate directors and the energy transformers. 29:4.17 These transformers are [|powerful] and [|effective] living switches, being able to dispose themselves for or against a given power disposition or directionization. They are also [|skillful] in their [|efforts] to [|insulate] the [|planets] against the [|powerful] [|energy] streams passing between gigantic [|planetary] and [|starry] neighbors. Their [|energy]-[|transmutive] [|attributes] render them most serviceable in the important task of [|maintaining] [|universal] [|energy] [|balance], or [|power] equilibrium. At one time they seem to consume or store energy; at other times they appear to exude or [|liberate] [|energy]. The transformers are able to increase or to diminish the "storage-battery" [|potential] of the living and dead [|energies] of their respective realms. But they deal only with [|physical] and semimaterial energies, they do not directly [|function] in the domain of life, neither do they [|change] the [|forms] of living [|beings]. 29:4.18 In some respects the energy transformers are the most remarkable and [|mysterious] of all semimaterial living creatures. They are in some [|unknown] [|manner] [|physically] [|differentiated], and by varying their [|liaison] [|relationships], they are able to exert a [|profound] [|influence] upon the [|energy] which passes through their [|associated] [|presences]. The [|status] of the physical realms seems to undergo a [|transformation] under their [|skillful] [|manipulation]. They can and do change the [|physical] [|form] of the [|energies] of [|space]. With the aid of their fellow controllers they are actually able to [|change] the [|form] and [|potential] of twenty-seven of the thirty physical energies of the [|superuniverse] power charge. That three of these energies are beyond their [|control] proves that they are not instrumentalities of the [|Unqualified Absolute]. 29:4.19 The remaining four [|groups] of the //Master Physical Controllers// are hardly [|persons] within any acceptable definition of that [|word]. These transmitters, associators, dissociators, and [|frandalanks] are wholly [|automatic] in their [|reactions]; nevertheless they are in every sense [|intelligent]. We are greatly [|limited] in our [|knowledge] of these [|wonderful] [|entities] because we cannot [|communicate] with them. They appear to [|understand] the [|language] of the realm, but they cannot [|communicate] with us. They seem fully able to [|receive] our [|communications] but quite powerless to make [|response]. 29:4.20 4. //Energy Transmitters//. These [|beings] [|function] chiefly, but not wholly, in an [|intraplanetary] capacity. They are [|marvelous] dispatchers of [|energy] as it is manifested on the [|individual worlds]. 29:4.21 When [|energy] is to be diverted to a new [|circuit], the transmitters deploy themselves in a line along the desired energy path, and by [|virtue] of their [|unique] [|attributes] of [|energy]-[|attraction], they can actually induce an increased [|energy] [|flow] in the desired direction. This they do just as [|literally] as certain metallic [|circuits] directionize the flow of certain [|forms] of [|electric] [|energy]; and they are living [|superconductors] for more than half of the thirty [|forms] of [|physical] [|energy]. 29:4.22 Transmitters form [|skillful] [|liaisons] which are [|effective] in rehabilitating the weakening currents of specialized [|energy] passing from [|planet] to planet and from station to station on an [|individual planet]. They can detect currents which are much too feeble to be [|recognized] by any other [|type] of living [|being], and they can so augment these [|energies] that the accompanying [|message] becomes perfectly [|intelligible]. Their [|services] are invaluable to the [|broadcast] receivers. 29:4.23 Energy transmitters can [|function] with regard to all [|forms] of [|communicable] [|perception]; they can render a distant scene "[|visible]" as well as a distant [|sound] "[|audible]." They provide the [|emergency] lines of [|communication] in the [|local systems] and on the [|individual planets]. These [|services] must be used by [|practically] all [|creatures] for [|purposes] of [|communication] outside of the regularly established [|circuits]. 29:4.24 These [|beings], together with the energy transformers, are indispensable to the [|maintenance] of [mortal] [|existence] on those worlds having an impoverished [|atmosphere], and they are an integral part of the [|technique] of life on the [|nonbreathing planets]. 29:4.25 5. //Primary Associators//. These interesting and invaluable [|entities] are masterly energy conservators and custodians. Somewhat as a plant stores [|solar] [|light], so do these living [|organisms] store [|energy] during times of plus [|manifestations]. They [|work] on a gigantic scale, converting the [|energies] of [|space] into a [|physical] state not known on [|Urantia]. They are also able to carry forward these [|transformations] to the point of producing some of the [|primitive] [|units] of [|material] [|existence]. These beings simply [|act] by their [|presence]. They are in no way exhausted or depleted by this [|function]; they act like living [|catalytic] [|agents]. 29:4.26 During seasons of minus [|manifestations] they are empowered to release these accumulated [|energies]. But your [|knowledge] of [|energy] and [|matter] is not sufficiently advanced to make it possible to explain the [|technique] of this [|phase] of their [|work]. They always labor in compliance with [|universal] [|law], handling and manipulating [|atoms], [|electrons], and [|ultimatons] much as you maneuver [|adjustable] [|type] to make the same [|alphabetical] [|symbols] tell vastly [|different] [|stories]. 29:4.27 The associators are the first [|group] of life to appear on an [|organizing] [|material] [|sphere], and they can [|function] at physical [|temperatures] which you would regard as utterly incompatible with the [|existence] of living [|beings]. They [|represent] an order of life which is simply beyond the range of [|human] [|imagination]. Together with their co-workers, the dissociators, they are the most slavish of all [|intelligent] [|creatures]. 29:4.28 6. //Secondary Dissociators//. Compared with the primary associators, these beings of enormous [|antigravity] [|endowment] are the reverse workers. There is never any danger that the special or modified [|forms] of [|physical] [|energy] on the [|local worlds] or in the [|local systems] will be exhausted, for these living [|organizations] are [|endowed] with the [|unique] [|power] of evolving [|limitless] supplies of [|energy]. They are chiefly concerned with the [|evolution] of a form of [|energy] which is hardly known on [|Urantia] from a form of [|matter] which is recognized still less. They are truly the [|alchemists] of [|space] and the [|wonder]-workers of [|time]. But in all the wonders they [|work], they never transgress the [|mandates] of Cosmic [|Supremacy]. 29:4.29 7. //The Frandalanks//. These [|beings] are the joint [|creation] of all three orders of [|energy]-[|control] [|beings]: the [|primary and secondary force organizers] and the [|power directors]. [|Frandalanks] are the most numerous of all the Master Physical Controllers; the [|number] [|functioning] in [|Satania] alone is beyond your numerical [|concept]. They are stationed on all [|inhabited worlds] and are always attached to the higher orders of physical controllers. They [|function] interchangeably in the [|central] and [|superuniverses] and in the domains of [|outer space]. 29:4.30 The [|frandalanks] are created in thirty divisions, one for each form of basic [|universe] [|force], and they [|function] exclusively as living and [|automatic] [|presence], [|pressure], and [|velocity] gauges. These living [|barometers] are solely concerned with the [|automatic] and unerring registration of the [|status] of all [|forms] of [|force]-[|energy]. They are to the [|physical] [|universe] what the vast [|reflectivity] [|mechanism] is to the [|minded] [|universe]. The [|frandalanks] that register [|time] in addition to [|quantitative] and [|qualitative] [|energy] [|presence] are called [|chronoldeks]. 29:4.31 I [|recognize] that the [|frandalanks] are [|intelligent], but I cannot classify them as other than living [|machines]. About the only way I can help you to [|understand] these living [|mechanisms] is to compare them to your own [|mechanical] contrivances which [|perform] with almost intelligentlike [|precision] and [|accuracy]. Then if you would conceive of these [|beings], draw upon your [|imagination] to the extent of [|recognizing] that in the [|grand universe] we actually have [|intelligent] and living [|mechanisms] ([|entities]) that can [|perform] more intricate tasks involving more stupendous [|computations] with even greater delicacy of [|accuracy], even with [|ultimacy] of precision.
