Urantia Text [|Paper 18]:[|5. THE RECENTS OF DAYS]
18:5.1 The Recents of Days are the youngest of the supreme directors of the [|superuniverses]; in [|groups] of three they preside over the affairs of the minor sectors. In [|nature] they are [|co-ordinate] with the [|Perfections of Days], but in administrative [|authority] they are subordinate. There are just twenty-one thousand of these personally [|glorious] and [|divinely] efficient [|Trinity] [|personalities]. They were created [|simultaneously], and together they passed through their [|Havona] [|training] under the [|Eternals of Days].

18:5.2 The Recents of Days have a corps of associates and assistants similar to that of the [|Perfections of Days]. In addition they have assigned to them enormous [|numbers] of the various subordinate orders of [|celestial] [|beings]. In the [|administration] of the minor sectors they utilize large numbers of the resident [|ascending] [|mortals], the personnel of the various [|courtesy colonies], and the various groups originating in the [|Infinite Spirit].

18:5.3 The [|governments] of the minor sectors are very largely, though not exclusively, concerned with the great [|physical] [|problems] of the [|superuniverses]. The minor sector spheres are the headquarters of the [|Master Physical Controllers]. On these worlds [|ascending] [|mortals] carry on [|studies] and [|experiments] having to do with an examination of the activities of the third order of the [|Supreme Power Centers] and of all seven orders of the [|Master Physical Controllers].

18:5.4 Since the [|regime] of a minor sector is so extensively concerned with [|physical] problems, its three Recents of Days are seldom together on the capital [|sphere]. Most of the time one is away in conference with the [|Perfections of Days] of the supervising major sector or absent while representing the [|Ancients of Days] at the [|Paradise] conclaves of the high [|Trinity]-[|origin] [|beings]. They alternate with the [|Perfections of Days] in representing the [|Ancients of Days] at the supreme councils on [|Paradise]. Meanwhile, another Recent of Days may be away on a tour of inspection of the headquarters worlds of the [|local universes] belonging to his [|jurisdiction]. But at least one of these rulers always remains on [|duty] at the headquarters of a minor sector.

18:5.5 You will all sometime know the three Recents of Days in charge of [|Ensa], your minor sector, since you must pass through their hands on your way inward to the [|training] worlds of the major sectors. In ascending to [|Uversa], you will pass through only one group of minor sector [|training] [|spheres].
