77:8.1 At the last [[adjudication]] of this world, when [[Michael]] removed the [[Sleeping survivors|slumbering survivors]] of time, the [[midway creatures]] were left behind, left to [[assist]] in the [[spiritual]] and semispiritual [[work]] on the [[planet]]. They now [[function]] as a single corps, embracing both orders and numbering 10,992. The ''United Midwayers'' of [[Urantia]] are at present [[governed]] alternately by the senior member of each order. This [[regime]] has obtained since their [[amalgamation]] into one [[group]] shortly after [[Pentecost]].

*2. 77:8.7 ''Planetary sentinels''. [[Midwayers]] are the guardians, the sentinels, of the [[worlds of space]]. They [[perform]] the important [[duties]] of [[observers]] for all the numerous [[phenomena]] and types of [[communication]] which are of import to the [[supernatural]] [[beings]] of the realm. They patrol the [[invisible]] spirit realm of the [[planet]].

In the [[contacts]] made with the [[mortal]] [[beings]] of the [[material]] worlds, such as with the subject through whom these [[communications]] were [[transmitted]], the [[midway creatures]] are always employed. They are an [[essential]] factor in such [[liaisons]] of the [[spiritual]] and the [[material]] levels.

77:8.10 [[Midwayers]] vary greatly in their [[abilities]] to make [[contact]] with the [[seraphim]] above and with their [[human]] cousins below. It is exceedingly [[difficult]], for instance, for the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_77#77:1._THE_PRIMARY_MIDWAYERS primary midwayers] to make direct contact with [[material]] [[agencies]].
