Being a later and lower--as concerns [[divinity]] levels--order of sonship creation, these beings were required to pass through certain courses of training on the [[Melchizedek]] worlds in preparation for subsequent service. They were the first students in the Melchizedek University and were classified and certified by their Melchizedek teachers and examiners according to ability, [[personality]], and attainment.

The supreme Lanonandek councils are stationed on the various [[constellation]] headquarters. Such a body is presided over by the senior [[Most High]] associate of the [[Constellation Father,]] while the junior associate supervises the reserves of the secondary order.

The [[System Sovereigns]] are true to their [[names]]; they are well-nigh [[sovereign]] in the local affairs of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 inhabited worlds]. They are almost paternal in their direction of the [[Planetary Princes]], the [[Material Sons]], and the [[ministering spirits]]. The [[personal]] grasp of the sovereign is all but complete. These rulers are not supervised by [[Trinity]] [[observers]] from the [[central universe]]. They are the executive division of the [[local universe]], and as custodians of the enforcement of [[legislative]] [[mandates]] and as executives for the application of [[judicial]] [[verdicts]], they present the one place in all universe [[administration]] where personal disloyalty to the will of the [[Creator Son|Michael Son]] could most easily and readily intrench itself and seek to assert itself.

Our [[local universe]] has been unfortunate in that over seven hundred Sons of the Lanonandek order have [[rebelled]] against the [[universe]] [[government]], thus precipitating [[confusion]] in several systems and on numerous [[planets]]. Of this entire number of failures only three were [[System Sovereigns]]; practically all of these Sons belonged to the second and third orders, Planetary Princes and tertiary Lanonandeks.

Of all the [[local universes]] in [[Orvonton]], our universe has, with the exception of Henselon, lost the largest number of this order of Sons. On [[Uversa]] it is the [[consensus]] that we have had so much administrative trouble in [[Nebadon]] because our Sons of the Lanonandek order have been created with such a large [[degree]] of [[personal]] [[liberty]] in choosing and planning. I do not make this [[observation]] by way of [[criticism]]. The [[Creator]] of our universe has full [[authority]] and [[power]] to do this. It is the contention of our high rulers that, while such free-choosing Sons make excessive trouble in the earlier ages of the universe, when things are fully sifted and finally settled, the gains of higher [[loyalty]] and fuller [[volitional]] [[service]] on the part of these thoroughly tested Sons will far more than compensate for the [[confusion]] and tribulations of earlier times.

In the [[event]] of [[rebellion]] on a system headquarters, a new [[sovereign]] is usually installed within a comparatively short time, but not so on the individual [[planets]]. They are the component [[units]] of the [[material]] [[creation]], and creature [[free will]] is a factor in the final [[adjudication]] of all such problems. Successor [[Planetary Princes]] are designated for isolated worlds, planets whose princes of authority may have gone astray, but they do not assume active rulership of such worlds until the results of insurrection are partially overcome and removed by the remedial [[measures]] adopted by the [[Melchizedeks]] and other ministering personalities. [[Rebellion]] by a [[Planetary Prince]] instantly [[isolates]] his planet; the local spiritual [[circuits]] are immediately severed. Only a [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_20#20:6._THE_MORTAL-BESTOWAL_CAREERS bestowal Son] can re-establish interplanetary lines of [[communication]] on such a spiritually isolated world.

There exists a plan for saving these wayward and unwise Sons, and many have availed themselves of this [[merciful]] provision; but never again may they [[function]] in those positions wherein they defaulted. After rehabilitation they are assigned to custodial duties and to departments of [[physical]] [[administration]].

These administrative schools of the [[local universe]] are supervised by a corps of Lanonandek Sons who have had long [[experience]] as [[System Sovereigns]] and as [[constellation]] [[counselors]]. These executive colleges are excelled only by the administrative schools of [[Ensa]].

It is in [[connection]] with these administrative spheres of the Lanonandeks that most of the salvaged Sons of that order serve as custodians and directors of planetary affairs. And these defaulting [[Planetary Princes]] and their associates in [[rebellion]] who choose to accept the proffered rehabilitation will continue to serve in these routine capacities, at least until the universe of [[Nebadon]] is settled in [[light and life]].
