39:1.1 These seraphim are the highest of the [[seven]] revealed orders of [[local universe]] [[angels]].

39:1.2 1. ''Son-Spirit Ministers''. The first [[group]] of the supreme seraphim are assigned to the [[service]] of the high Sons and Spirit-origin beings resident and functioning in the [[local universe]]. This group of angelic ministers also serve the [[Universe Son]] and the [[Universe Spirit]] and are closely affiliated with the [[intelligence]] corps of the [[Bright and Morning Star]], the universe chief executive of the united wills of the [[Creator Son]] and the [[Creative Spirit]].

39:1.3 Being of assignment to the high Sons and Spirits, these seraphim are naturally [[associated]] with the far-flung [[services]] of the [[Paradise]] [[Avonals]], the [[divine]] [[offspring]] of the [[Eternal Son]] and the [[Infinite Spirit]].

But they are not concerned in the [[work]] of [[adjudication]] which might be incidental to such a [[change]] in dispensations.

39:1.5 These bestowal attendants are completion seraphim; they have all traversed the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_13#13:1._THE_SEVEN_SACRED_WORLDS_OF_THE_FATHER circles of Seraphington] and have [[attained]] the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_39_-_The_Seraphic_Hosts#39:9._THE_CORPS_OF_SERAPHIC_COMPLETION ''Seraphic Corps of Completion'']. And they have been further especially [[trained]] to meet the [[difficulties]] and to cope with the [[emergencies]] [[associated]] with the [[bestowals]] of the [[Sons of God]] for the advancement of the [[children]] of [[time]]. Such seraphim have all achieved [[Paradise]] and the [[personal]] [[embrace]] of the Second Source and Center, the [[Eternal Son]].

39:1.6 Seraphim [[equally]] crave assignment to the missions of the [[incarnated]] Sons and attachment as [[destiny guardians]] to the [[mortals]] of the realms; the latter is the surest seraphic passport to [[Paradise]], while the bestowal attendants have achieved the highest [[local universe]] [[service]] of the completion seraphim of [[Paradise]] [[attainment]].

39:1.7 2. ''Court Advisers''. These are the seraphic advisers and helpers attached to all orders of [[adjudication]], from the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_25#25:2._THE_UNIVERSAL_CONCILIATORS conciliators] up to the highest [[tribunals]] of the realm. It is not the [[purpose]] of such [[tribunals]] to determine punitive sentences but rather to [[adjudicate]] [[honest]] [[differences]] of [[opinion]] and to [[decree]] the everlasting [[survival]] of [[ascending mortals]]. Herein lies the duty of the court advisers: to see that all charges against [[mortal]] [[creatures]] are stated in [[justice]] and [[adjudicated]] in [[mercy]]. In this [[work]] they are closely [[associated]] with the High Commissioners, [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Ascending_mortals#40:8._SON-FUSED_MORTALS Spirit-fused ascendant mortals] serving in the [[local universe]].

39:1.8 The seraphic court advisers serve extensively as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_defender defenders] of [[mortals]]. Not that there ever exists any disposition to be unfair to the lowly [[creatures]] of the realms, but while [[justice]] demands the [[adjudication]] of every [[default]] in the climb towards [[divine]] [[perfection]], [[mercy]] requires that every such misstep be [[fairly]] adjudged in accordance with the [[creature]] [[nature]] and the [[divine]] [[purpose]]. These [[angels]] are the exponents and exemplification of the element of [[mercy]] [[inherent]] in [[divine]] [[justice]]—of [[fairness]] based on the [[knowledge]] of the underlying [[facts]] of [[personal]] [[motives]] and [[racial]] tendencies.

39:1.10 3. ''Universe Orientators''. These are the true [[friends]] and postgraduate [[counselors]] of all those [[ascending creatures]] who are pausing for the last time on [[Salvington]], in their [[universe]] of [[origin]], as they stand on the brink of the [[spirit]] [[adventure]] stretching out before them in the vast [[superuniverse]] of [[Orvonton]]. And at such a time many an [[ascender]] has a [[feeling]] which [[mortals]] could [[understand]] only by [[comparison]] with the [[human]] [[emotion]] of [[nostalgia]]. Behind lie the realms of [[achievement]], realms grown familiar by long [[service]] and [[morontia]] [[attainment]]; ahead lies the [[challenging]] [[mystery]] of a greater and vaster universe.

39:1.11 It is the task of the universe orientators to [[facilitate]] the passage of the [[ascending]] [[pilgrims]] from the [[attained]] to the unattained level of [[universe]] [[service]], to help these [[pilgrims]] in making those [[kaleidoscopic]] adjustments in the [[comprehension]] of [[meanings]] and [[values]] [[inherent]] in the [[realization]] that a first-stage spirit being stands, not at the end and [[climax]] of the [[local universe]] [[morontia]] [[ascent]], but rather at the very bottom of the long [[Scale|ladder]] of [[spiritual]] [[ascent]] to the [[Universal Father]] on [[Paradise]].

Teaching [[counselors]] are [[secretaries]] to all [[orders]] of [[teachers]], from the [[Melchizedeks]] and the [[Trinity Teacher Sons]] down to the [[morontia]] [[mortals]] who are assigned as helpers to those of their kind who are just behind them in the [[scale]] of [[ascendant life]]. You will first see these [[associate]] teaching seraphim on some one of the [[seven]] [[mansion worlds]] surrounding [[Jerusem]].

39:1.14 These seraphim become [[associates]] of the division chiefs of the numerous [[educational]] and [[training]] [[institutions]] of the [[local universes]], and they are attached in large [[numbers]] to the faculties of the seven [[training]] worlds of the [[local systems]] and of the seventy [[educational]] [[spheres]] of the [[constellations]]. These ministrations extend on down to the [[individual worlds]]. Even the true and [[consecrated]] [[teachers]] of time are [[assisted]], and often attended, by these [[counselors]] of the ''supreme seraphim''.

39:1.16 5. ''Directors of Assignment''. A body of 144 supreme seraphim is elected from time to time by the [[angels]] serving on the [[Paper 49 - The Inhabited Worlds|evolutionary]] and on the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_15#15:7._THE_ARCHITECTURAL_SPHERES architectural spheres] of [[creature]] habitation.

39:1.17 6. ''The Recorders''. These are the official recorders for the supreme seraphim. Many of these high angels were born with their gifts fully [[developed]]; others have qualified for their positions of [[trust]] and [[responsibility]] by [[diligent]] [[application]] to [[study]] and [[faithful]] [[performance]] of similar duties while attached to lower or less [[responsible]] orders.
