[|Perfections of Days]


== Urantia Text [|Paper 18]:[|4. THE PERFECTIONS OF DAYS] ==

18:4.1 There are just two hundred and ten [|Perfections of Days], and they preside over the governments of the ten [|major sectors] of each [|superuniverse]. They were trinitized for the special work of assisting the superuniverse directors, and they rule as the [|immediate] and [|personal] [|vicegerents] of the [|Ancients of Days]. 18:4.2 Three Perfections of Days are assigned to each [|major sector] capital, but unlike the Ancients of Days, it is not [|necessary] that all three be present at all times. From time to time one of this trio may absent himself to confer in person with the Ancients of Days concerning the [|welfare] of his realm. 18:4.3 These triune rulers of the major sectors are peculiarly [|perfect] in the mastery of [|administrative] details, hence their name— Perfections of Days. In recording the [|names] of these [|beings] of the spiritual world, we are confronted with the problem of [|translating] into your [|tongue], and very often it is exceedingly [|difficult] to render a satisfactory translation. We dislike to use [|arbitrary] designations which would be meaningless to you; hence we often find it difficult to choose a suitable name, one which will be clear to you and at the same time be somewhat [|representative] of the [|original]. 18:4.4 The Perfections of Days have a moderate-sized corps of [|Divine Counselors], [|Perfectors of Wisdom], and [|Universal Censors] attached to their [|governments]. They have still larger [|numbers] of [|Mighty Messengers], [|Those High in Authority], and [|Those without Name and Number.] But much of the routine work of major sector affairs is carried on by the [|Celestial Guardians] and the [|High Son Assistants]. These two [|groups] are drawn from among the trinitized offspring of either [|Paradise-Havona] [|personalities] or [|glorified mortal finaliters]. Certain of these two orders of [|creature-trinitized] beings are retrinitized by the [|Paradise] Deities and then are dispatched to assist in the [|administration] of the [|superuniverse] [|governments]. 18:4.5 Most of the [|Celestial Guardians] and the [|High Son Assistants] are assigned to the [|service] of the major and the minor sectors, but the [|Trinitized Custodians] (Trinity-embraced [|seraphim] and [|midwayers]) are the officers of the courts of all three divisions, functioning in the [|tribunals] of the [|Ancients of Days], the [|Perfections of Days], and the [|Recents of Days]. [|The Trinitized Ambassadors] (Trinity-embraced [|ascendant] [|mortals] of Son- or Spirit-fused nature) may be encountered anywhere in a [|superuniverse], but the majority are in the service of the minor sectors. 18:4.6 Before the times of the full [|unfolding] of the [|governmental] scheme of the [|seven superuniverses], [|practically] all [|administrators] of the various divisions of these governments, excepting the [|Ancients of Days], served apprenticeships of varying duration under the [|Eternals of Days] on the various worlds of the [|perfect] [|Havona] [|universe]. The later trinitized beings likewise passed through a season of [|training] under the [|Eternals of Days] before they were attached to the [|service] of the [|Ancients of Days], the [|Perfections of Days], and the [|Recents of Days]. They are all seasoned, tried, and experienced administrators. 18:4.7 You will early see the [|Perfections of Days] when you advance to the headquarters of [|Splandon] after your sojourn on the worlds of your minor sector, for these exalted rulers are closely [|associated] with the seventy major sector worlds of higher [|training] for the [|ascendant] [|creatures] of [|time]. The Perfections of Days, in person, administer the group pledges to the ascending graduates of the major sector schools. 18:4.8 The work of the [|pilgrims] of time on the worlds surrounding a major sector headquarters is chiefly of an [|intellectual] [|nature] in [|contrast] with the more [|physical] and [|material] [|character] of the [|training] on the seven [|educational] [|spheres] of a minor sector and with the [|spiritual] undertakings on the four hundred ninety [|university] worlds of a [|superuniverse] [|headquarters]. 18:4.9 Although you are entered only upon the registry of the major sector of [|Splandon], which [|embraces] the [|local universe] of your [|origin], you will have to pass through every one of the ten major divisions of our [|superuniverse]. You will see all thirty of the [|Orvonton] [|Perfections of Days] before you reach [|Uversa].
