26:8.1 The fourth [[Havona]] [[circuit]] is sometimes called the "circuit of the Sons." From the worlds of this circuit the [[ascending pilgrims]] go to [[Paradise]] to achieve an [[understanding]] contact with the [[Eternal Son]], while on the worlds of this [[circuit]] the [[descending]] [[pilgrims]] [[achieve]] a new [[comprehension]] of the [[nature]] and mission of the [[Creator Sons]] of [[time and space]]. There are seven worlds in this circuit on which the reserve corps of the [[Paradise Michaels]] maintain special [[service]] schools of [[mutual]] [[ministry]] to both the [[ascending]] and [[descending]] [[pilgrims]]; and it is on these worlds of the [[Michael Sons]] that the [[pilgrims]] of time and the pilgrims of [[eternity]] arrive at their first truly [[mutual]] [[understanding]] of one another. In many respects the [[experiences]] of this circuit are the most [[intriguing]] of the entire [[Havona]] [[sojourn]].

26:8.2 The ''Son finders'' are the superaphic ministers to the [[ascending mortals]] of the fourth circuit. In addition to the general [[work]] of [[preparing]] their [[candidates]] for a [[realization]] of the [[Trinity]] [[relationships]] of the [[Eternal Son]], these ''Son finders'' must so fully instruct their subjects that they will be wholly successful: first, in the adequate [[spiritual]] [[comprehension]] of [[the Son]]; second, in the [[satisfactory]] [[personality]] [[recognition]] of [[the Son]]; and third, in the proper [[differentiation]] of [[the Son]] from the [[personality]] of the [[Infinite Spirit]].

26:8.3 After the [[attainment]] of the [[Infinite Spirit]], no more examinations are conducted. The tests of the inner circles are the [[performances]] of the [[pilgrim]] [[candidates]] when in the [[embrace]] of the enshroudment of [[the Deities]]. Advancement is determined [[purely]] by the [[spirituality]] of the [[individual]], and no one but [[the Gods]] presumes to pass upon this [[possession]]. In the [[event]] of failure no reasons are ever assigned, neither are the [[candidates]] themselves nor their various [[tutors]] and guides ever chided or [[criticized]]. On [[Paradise]], [[disappointment]] is never regarded as defeat; postponement is never looked upon as [[disgrace]]; the [[apparent]] [[failures]] of [[time]] are never confused with the significant delays of [[eternity]].

26:8.4 Not many [[pilgrims]] [[experience]] the delay of seeming [[failure]] in the [[Deity]] [[adventure]]. Nearly all [[attain]] the [[Infinite Spirit]], though occasionally a [[pilgrim]] from [[superuniverse]] number one does not succeed on the first attempt. The [[pilgrims]] who [[attain]] [[the Spirit]] seldom fail in finding [[the Son]]; of those who do fail on the first [[adventure]], almost all hail from [[superuniverses]] three and five. The great [[majority]] of those who fail on the first [[adventure]] to attain [[the Father]], after finding both [[the Spirit]] and [[the Son]], hail from [[superuniverse]] number six, though a few from numbers two and three are likewise unsuccessful. And all this seems clearly to indicate that there is some good and sufficient reason for these [[apparent]] [[failures]]; in reality, simply unescapable delays.

26:8.5 The defeated [[candidates]] for the [[Deity]] [[adventure]] are placed under the [[jurisdiction]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_27#27:2._CHIEFS_OF_ASSIGNMENT chiefs of assignment], a [[group]] of [[primary supernaphim]], and are remanded to the [[work]] of the realms of [[space]] for a period of not less than one [[millennium]]. They never return to the [[superuniverse]] of their [[nativity]], always to that [[supercreation]] most propitious for their retraining in [[preparation]] for the second [[Deity]] [[adventure]]. Following this [[service]], on their own motion, they return to the outer circle of [[Havona]], are [[immediately]] escorted to the circle of their interrupted [[career]], and at once resume their [[preparations]] for the [[Deity]] [[adventure]]. Never do the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_26#26:4._THE_SECONDARY_SUPERNAPHIM secondary supernaphim] fail to pilot their subjects successfully on the second attempt, and the same superaphic ministers and other guides always attend these [[candidates]] during this second [[adventure]].
