39:8.1 Seraphim are of [[origin]] in the [[local universe]]s, and in these very realms of their [[nativity]] some achieve [[service]] [[destiny]]. With the help and [[counsel]] of the senior [[archangels]] some seraphim may be elevated to the exalted [[duties]] of [[Brilliant Evening Stars]], while others [[attain]] the [[status]] and [[service]] of the [[unrevealed]] [[co-ordinates]] of the [[Evening Stars]]. Still other [[adventures]] in [[local universe]] [[destiny]] may be attempted, but [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_13#13:1._THE_SEVEN_SACRED_WORLDS_OF_THE_FATHER Seraphington] ever remains the [[eternal]] goal of all [[angels]]. Seraphington is the angelic threshold to [[Paradise]] and [[Deity]] [[attainment]], the [[transition]] [[sphere]] from the [[ministry]] of [[time]] to the exalted service of [[eternity]].

39:8.2 Seraphim may attain [[Paradise]] in scores—hundreds—of ways, but the most important as elaborated in these [[narratives]] are the following:

*1. 39:8.3 To gain admission to the [[Paradise]] seraphic abode in a [[personal]] [[capacity]] by achieving [[perfection]] of specialized [[service]] as a [[celestial artisan]], a [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_25#25:4._TECHNICAL_ADVISERS Technical Adviser], or a [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_25#25:6._THE_CELESTIAL_RECORDERS Celestial Recorder]. To become a [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_25#25:8._THE_PARADISE_COMPANIONS Paradise Companion] and, having thus [[attained]] the [[center]] of all [[things]], perhaps then to become an [[eternal]] minister and adviser to the seraphic orders and others.

*2. 39:8.4 To be summoned to [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_13#13:1._THE_SEVEN_SACRED_WORLDS_OF_THE_FATHER Seraphington]. Under certain conditions seraphim are commanded on high; in other [[circumstances]] [[angels]] sometimes achieve [[Paradise]] in a much shorter time than [[mortals]]. But no matter how fitted any seraphic pair may be, they cannot [[initiate]] departure for Seraphington or elsewhere. None but successful [[destiny guardians]] can be sure of proceeding to [[Paradise]] by a [[progressive]] path of [[evolutionary]] [[ascent]]. All others must patiently await the arrival of the [[Paradise]] [[messengers]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_26#26:3._THE_TERTIARY_SUPERNAPHIM tertiary supernaphim] who come with the summons commanding them to appear on high.

*3. 39:8.5 ''To [[attain]] [[Paradise]] by the [[evolutionary]] [[mortal]] [[technique]]''. The [[supreme]] [[choice]] of seraphim in the [[career]] of time is the post of [[guardian angel]] in order that they may [[attain]] the [[career]] of finality and be qualified for assignment to the [[eternal]] [[spheres]] of seraphic service. Such personal guides of the [[children]] of time are called ''guardians of destiny'', signifying that they guard [[mortal]] [[creatures]] in the path of [[divine]] [[destiny]], and that in so doing they are determining their own high destiny.

39:8.6 [[Guardians of destiny]] are drawn from the ranks of the more [[experienced]] angelic [[personalities]] of all orders of seraphim who have qualified for this [[service]]. All [[surviving]] [[mortals]] of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_112#112:7._ADJUSTER_FUSION Adjuster-fusion] [[destiny]] have temporary guardians assigned, and these [[associates]] may become [[permanently]] attached when [[mortal]] [[survivors]] attain the requisite [[intellectual]] and [[spiritual]] [[development]]. Before mortal ascenders leave the [[mansion worlds]], they all have [[permanent]] seraphic associates. This group of [[ministering spirits]] is discussed in [[connection]] with the [[Urantia]] [[narratives]].

39:8.7 It is not possible for [[angels]] to attain [[God]] from the [[human]] level of [[origin]], for they are created a "little higher than you"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Letter_to_the_Hebrews#The_Letter_to_the_Hebrews.2C_II]; but it has been wisely arranged that, while they cannot possibly start up from the very bottom, the [[spiritual]] lowlands of [[mortal]] [[existence]], they may go down to those who do start from the bottom and pilot such [[creatures]], step by step, world by world, to the [[portals]] of [[Havona]]. When mortal ascenders leave [[Uversa]] to begin the [[circles]] of [[Havona]], those guardians of attachment subsequent to the life in the [[flesh]] will bid their [[pilgrim]] associates a temporary farewell while they [[journey]] to [[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_13#13:1._THE_SEVEN_SACRED_WORLDS_OF_THE_FATHER Seraphington], the angelic destination of the [[grand universe]]. Here will these guardians attempt, and undoubtedly [[achieve]], the ''seven circles of seraphic light''.

39:8.8 Many, but not all, of those seraphim assigned as [[destiny guardians]] during the [[material]] life accompany their [[mortal]] [[associates]] through the [[Havona]] circles, and certain other seraphim pass through the circuits of the central universe in a way that is wholly [[different]] from the [[mortal]] [[ascent]]. But irrespective of the route of ascent, all evolutionary seraphim traverse [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_13#13:1._THE_SEVEN_SACRED_WORLDS_OF_THE_FATHER Seraphington], and the [[majority]] pass through this [[experience]] instead of the Havona circuits.

39:8.9 Seraphington is the [[destiny]] [[sphere]] for [[angels]], and their [[attainment]] of this world is quite [[different]] from the experiences of the [[mortal]] [[pilgrims]] on Ascendington. Angels are not [[absolutely]] sure of their eternal future until they have attained [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_13#13:1._THE_SEVEN_SACRED_WORLDS_OF_THE_FATHER Seraphington]. No angel attaining Seraphington has ever been known to go astray; [[sin]] will never find [[response]] in the [[heart]] of a seraphim of completion.

39:8.10 The [[graduates]] of Seraphington are variously assigned: [[Destiny guardians]] of [[Havona]]-circle experience usually enter the [[Mortal Finaliter Corps]]. Other guardians, having passed their Havona separation tests, frequently rejoin their [[mortal]] [[associates]] on [[Paradise]], and some become the everlasting associates of the [[mortal finaliters]], while others enter the various nonmortal finaliter corps, and many are mustered into the ''Corps of Seraphic Completion''.
