Michael, therefore, had a double purpose in the making of these seven bestowals upon
the various orders of his universe creatures: First, he was completing the required
experience in creature understanding which is demanded of all Creator Sons before they
assume complete sovereignty. At any time a Creator Son may rule his universe in his own
right, but he can rule as the supreme representative of the Paradise Trinity only after
passing through the seven universe-creature bestowals. Second, he was aspiring to the
privilege of representing the maximum authority of the Paradise Trinity which can be
exercised in the direct and personal administration of a local universe. Accordingly, did
Michael, during the experience of each of his universe bestowals, successfully and acceptably voluntarily subordinate himself to the variously constituted wills of the diverse
associations of the persons of the Paradise Trinity. That is, on the first bestowal he was
subject to the combined will of the Father, Son, and Spirit; on the second bestowal to the
will of the Father and the Son; on the third bestowal to the will of the Father and the
Spirit; on the fourth bestowal to the will of the Son and the Spirit; on the fifth bestowal
to the will of the Infinite Spirit; on the sixth bestowal to the will of the Eternal Son; and
during the seventh and final bestowal, on Urantia, to the will of the Universal Father.
Michael, therefore, combines in his personal sovereignty the divine will of the sevenfold
phases of the universal Creators with the understanding experience of his local universe
creatures. Thus has his administration become representative of the greatest possible power
and authority although divested of all arbitrary assumptions. His power is unlimited since
it is derived from experienced association with the Paradise Deities; his authority is
unquestioned inasmuch as it was acquired through actual experience in the likeness of
universe creatures; his sovereignty is supreme since it embodies at one and the same time
the sevenfold viewpoint of Paradise Deity with the creature viewpoint of time and space
