31:3.2 We of [[Uversa]] do not know the "finality [[destiny]]" of the [[ascendant]] [[mortals]] of [[time]][http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:5._MORTALS_OF_TIME_AND_SPACE].

31:3.3 Notwithstanding that these [[ascendant]] [[mortals]] have [[attained]] [[Paradise]], have been mustered into the [[Corps of the Finality]], and have been sent back in large [[numbers]] to [[participate]] in the conduct of [[local universes]] and to [[assist]] in the [[administration]] of [[superuniverse]] affairs—in the face of even this [[apparent]] [[destiny]], there remains the significant [[fact]] that they are of record as only [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_56_-_Universal_Unity#56:6._UNIFICATION_OF_EVOLUTIONARY_DEITY sixth-stage spirits].

We do not know the [[nature]] of that step, but we have taken cognizance of, and here call [[attention]] to, three [[facts]]:

31:3.4 1. We know from the [[records]] that [[mortals]] are [[spirits]] of the first order during their [[sojourn]] in the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_15#15:13._THE_SECTOR_GOVERNMENTS minor sectors, and that they advance to the second order when translated to the major sectors], and to the third when they go forward to the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_15#15:7._THE_ARCHITECTURAL_SPHERES central [[training]] worlds] of the [[superuniverse]].

31:3.5 We [[observe]] that [[spirit]] [[classification]], or designation, has been [[determined]] by [[actual]] advancement from one realm of [[universe]] [[service]] to another realm of universe service or from one universe to another universe; and we surmise that the [[bestowal]] of seventh-spirit classification upon the Mortal Corps of the Finality will be [[simultaneous]] with their advancement to [[eternal]] assignment for [[service]] on hitherto unrecorded and [[Unknown|unrevealed]] [[spheres]] and concomitant with their [[attainment]] of [[God the Supreme]]. But aside from these bold [[conjecture]]s, we really know no more about all this than you do; our [[knowledge]] of the [[mortal]] [[career]] does not go beyond present [[Paradise]] [[destiny]].

31:3.6 2. The [[mortal]] [[finaliters]] have fully complied with the injunction of the ages, "Be you perfect"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_matthew#Chapter_5]; they have [[ascended]] the [[universal]] path of [[mortal]] [[attainment]]; they have found [[God]], and they have been duly inducted into the ''Corps of the Finality''. Such [[beings]] have [[attained]] the present [[limit]] of [[spirit]] [[progression]] but not finality of [[ultimate]] [[spirit]] [[status]].

They have [[experienced]] the fullness of [[Deity]] [[worship]] but not finality of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_0_-_The_Foreword#XI._THE_THREE_ABSOLUTES experiential Deity attainment].
