One Censor is commissioned on each of the billion worlds of the central universe, being attached to the planetary administration of the resident Eternal of Days. Neither Perfectors of Wisdom nor Divine Counselors are thus permanently attached to the Havona administrations, nor do we altogether understand why Universal Censors are stationed in the central universe. Their present activities hardly account for their assignment in Havona, and we therefore suspect that they are there in anticipation of the needs of some future universe age in which the Havona population may partially change.
Quote from The URANTIA Book, 0217:08-0218:00
Most fully do I understand the operation of the mind of a Perfector of Wisdom, but I certainly do not fully comprehend the working of the adjudicating mind of a Universal Censor. …
Quote from The URANTIA Book, 0218:04-05
Having made due allowances for all that we know or conjecture about the functioning of a Censor in any given universe situation, we find that we are still unable to predict decisions or to forecast verdicts.
The above statements are by a Divine Counselor, the same order of being who earlier assured us that personalities of his order were “entirely competent to trace out and to analyze the working of all phenomena directly resulting from the functioning of the Universal Father, the Eternal Son, the Infinite Spirit, and, to a large extent, the Isle of Paradise” (0055:06). We suspect something very special is in store for the Universal Censors, evidently for a purpose not revealed.
You will recall that the Perfectors of Wisdom, the Divine Counselors, and the Universal Censors “have been sometimes designated Stationary Sons of the Trinity” (0218:06), by which I understand they have never left the station to which they were created. In the evolutionary scheme of the universes, they have never ascended nor descended.
These three orders of co-ordinate Trinity origin beings are perfect creations “of definite numbers; their creation is a finished and past event” (0214:09). There are seven billion Perfectors of Wisdom—one billion are assigned to each of the seven superuniverses; there are twenty-one billion Divine Counselors—three billion are assigned to each of the superuniverses; there are eight billion Universal Censors—one billion are assigned to each of the superuniverses. That extra one billion Universal Censors are assigned to the central universe of Havona, one to each of the one billion perfect worlds, and not even their associates, the Divine Counselors, fully understand why!
“There has never been an instance of misconduct by any creature of any group of personalities ever created in, or admitted to, the central Havona universe” (0155:03). The harmony is intense. For what purpose would Universal Censors be stationed there?
