38:0.1 There are [[three]] distinct orders of the [[personalities]] of the [[Infinite Spirit]]. The impetuous [[apostle]] understood this when he wrote respecting [[Jesus]], "who has gone to heaven and is on the right hand of God, ''angels'' and ''authorities'' and [[powers]] being made subject to him."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1st_Letter_of_Peter#1st_Letter_of_Peter.2C_III].

38:0.3 The [[seraphim]] are all fairly [[uniform]] in [[design]]. From [[universe]] to [[universe]], throughout all seven of [[Paper 15 - The Seven Superuniverses|the superuniverses]], they show a minimum of variation; they are the most nearly [[standard]] of all [[spirit]] [[types]] of [[personal]] [[beings]]. Their various orders [[constitute]] the corps of the [[skilled]] and common ministers of the local [[creations]].

38:2.1 [[Angels]] do not have [[material]] [[bodies]], but they are definite and [[discrete]] [[beings]]; they are of [[spirit]] [[nature]] and [[origin]]. Though [[invisible]] to [[mortals]], they [[perceive]] you as you are in the [[flesh]] without the aid of transformers or translators; they [[intellectually]] [[understand]] the mode of [[mortal]] life, and they [[share]] all of man's nonsensuous [[emotions]] and sentiments. They [[appreciate]] and greatly [[enjoy]] your [[efforts]] in [[music]], [[art]], and real [[humor]]. They are fully [[cognizant]] of your [[moral]] [[struggles]] and [[spiritual]] [[difficulties]]. They [[love]] [[human beings]], and only [[good]] can result from your efforts to [[understand]] and [[love]] them.

They [[love]] [[human beings]], and only [[good]] can result from your efforts to [[understand]] and [[love]] them.

38:2.2 Though [[seraphim]] are very [[affectionate]] and [[sympathetic]] [[beings]], they are not [[sex]]-[[emotion]] [[creatures]]. They are much as you will be on the [[mansion worlds]], where you will "neither marry nor be given in marriage but will be as the angels of heaven."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Mark#Chapter_12] For all who "shall be accounted worthy to attain the mansion worlds neither marry nor are given in marriage; neither do they die any more, for they are equal to the angels."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Luke#Chapter_20] Nevertheless, in dealing with [[sex]] [[creatures]] it is our [[custom]] to [[speak]] of those [[beings]] of more direct [[descent]] from [[the Father]] and [[the Son]] as the sons of God, while referring to the [[children]] of [[the Spirit]] as the daughters of God. [[Angels]] are, therefore, commonly designated by [[feminine]] pronouns on the [[sex]] [[planets]].

[[Angels]] are, therefore, commonly designated by [[feminine]] pronouns on the [[sex]] [[planets]].

38:2.3 The [[seraphim]] are so created as to [[function]] on both [[spiritual]] and [[literal]] levels. There are few [[phases]] of [[morontia]] or [[spirit]] [[activity]] which are not open to their ministrations. While in [[personal]] [[status]] angels are not so far removed from [[human being]]s, in certain functional [[performances]] [[seraphim]] far [[transcend]] them. They [[possess]] many [[powers]] far beyond human [[comprehension]]. For example: You have been told that the "very hairs of your head are numbered,"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Luke#Chapter_12] and it is true they are, but a [[seraphim]] does not spend her time counting them and keeping the [[number]] corrected up to date. [[Angels]] [[possess]] [[inherent]] and [[automatic]] (that is, automatic as far as you could perceive) [[powers]] of knowing such [[things]]; you would truly regard a [[seraphim]] as a [[mathematical]] [[prodigy]]. Therefore, numerous [[duties]] which would be tremendous tasks for [[mortals]] are [[performed]] with exceeding ease by [[seraphim]].

38:2.4 [[Angels]] are superior to you in [[spiritual]] [[status]], but they are not your [[judges]] or accusers. No matter what your faults, "the angels, although greater in power and might, bring no accusation against you."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Luke#Chapter_12] Angels do not sit in [[judgment]] on [[mankind]], neither should [[individual]] [[mortals]] prejudge their fellow [[creatures]].

38:2.5 You do well to [[love]] them, but you should not [[adore]] them; angels are not objects of [[worship]]. The great [[seraphim]], ''Loyalatia'', when your seer "fell down to worship before the feet of the angel,"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Revelation#Chapter_19] said: "See that you do it not; I am a fellow servant with you and with your races, who are all enjoined to worship God."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Revelation#Chapter_22]

38:2.6 In [[nature]] and [[personality]] [[endowment]], the [[seraphim]] are just a trifle ahead of [[mortal]] [[races]] in the [[scale]] of [[creature]] [[existence]]. Indeed, when you are [[Liberated|delivered]] from the [[flesh]], you become very much like them. On the [[mansion worlds]] you will begin to [[appreciate]] the [[seraphim]], on the [[constellation]] [[spheres]] to [[enjoy]] them, while on [[Salvington]] they will [[share]] their places of [[rest]] and [[worship]] with you. Throughout the whole [[morontia]] and subsequent [[spirit]] [[ascent]], your fraternity with the [[seraphim]] will be [[ideal]]; your [[Friendship|companionship]] will be superb.

38:3.1 Numerous [[orders]] of [[spirit]] [[beings]] [[function]] throughout the [[domains]] of the [[local universe]] that are unrevealed to [[mortals]] because they are in no manner [[connected]] with the evolutionary [[plan]] of [[Paradise]] [[ascension]]. In this paper the word "[[angel]]" is [[purposely]] [[limited]] to the designation of those seraphic and [[associated]] [[offspring]] of the [[Universe Mother Spirit]] who are so largely concerned with the operation of the [[plans]] of [[mortal]] [[survival]]. There serve in the [[local universe]] six other orders of related [[beings]], the [[unrevealed]] [[angels]], who are not in any specific [[manner]] [[connected]] with those [[universe]] [[activities]] pertaining to the [[Paradise]] [[ascent]] of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:5._MORTALS_OF_TIME_AND_SPACE evolutionary mortals]. These six [[groups]] of angelic [[associates]] are never called [[seraphim]], neither are they referred to as ministering spirits. These [[personalities]] are wholly occupied with the [[administrative]] and other affairs of [[Nebadon]], engagements which are in no way related to [[man]]'s [[progressive]] [[career]] of [[spiritual]] [[ascent]] and [[perfection]] [[attainment]].

==38:4. THE SERAPHIC WORLDS==  

38:5.2 At the termination of this period of [[training]] on the seraphic worlds of [[Salvington]], seraphim are mobilized in the [[conventional]] [[groups]] and [[units]] of the angelic [[organization]] and are assigned to some one of the [[constellations]]. They are not yet commissioned as ministering spirits, although they have well entered upon the precommissioned [[phases]] of angelic [[training]].

They are not yet commissioned as ministering spirits, although they have well entered upon the precommissioned [[phases]] of angelic [[training]].

38:5.3 [[Seraphim]] are [[initiated]] as ministering spirits by [[serving]] as [[observers]] on the lowest of the [[evolutionary worlds]]. After this [[experience]] they return to the [[associate]] worlds of the [[headquarters]] of the assigned [[constellation]] to begin their advanced [[studies]] and more definitely to [[prepare]] for [[service]] in some particular [[local system]]. Following this general [[education]] they are advanced to the [[service]] of some one of the [[local system]]s. On the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_15#15:7._THE_ARCHITECTURAL_SPHERES architectural worlds] [[associated]] with the capital of some [[Nebadon]] system our seraphim complete their training and are commissioned as ministering spirits of time.

38:5.4 When once [[seraphim]] are commissioned, they may range all [[Nebadon]], even [[Orvonton]], on assignment. Their [[work]] in the [[universe]] is without bounds and [[limitations]]; they are closely [[associated]] with the [[material]] [[creatures]] of [[Paper 49 - The Inhabited Worlds|the worlds]] and are ever in the [[service]] of the lower orders of [[spiritual]] [[personalities]], making contact between these [[beings]] of the [[spirit]] world and the [[mortals]] of the [[material]] realms.

==38:6. SERAPHIC ORGANIZATION==   

38:6.1 After the second [[millennium]] of [[sojourn]] at seraphic [[headquarters]] the [[seraphim]] are [[organized]] under chiefs into [[groups]] of twelve (12 pairs, 24 seraphim), and twelve such groups [[constitute]] a company (144 pairs, 288 seraphim), which is commanded by a [[leader]]. Twelve companies under a commander [[constitute]] a battalion (1,728 pairs or 3,456 seraphim), and twelve battalions under a director [[equal]] a seraphic [[unit]] (20,736 pairs or 41,472 [[individuals]]), while twelve units, subject to the command of a supervisor, [[constitute]] a legion numbering 248,832 pairs or 497,664 individuals. [[Jesus]] alluded to such a [[group]] of [[angels]] that night in the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_182 garden of Gethsemane] when he said: "I can even now ask my Father, and he will presently give me more than twelve legions of angels."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Matthew#Chapter_26]

38:6.2 Twelve legions of angels comprise a host numbering 2,985,984 pairs or 5,971,968 individuals, and twelve such hosts (35,831,808 pairs or 71,663,616 individuals) make up the largest operating [[organization]] of seraphim, an angelic army. A seraphic host is commanded by an [[archangel]] or by some other [[personality]] of [[co-ordinate]] [[status]], while the angelic armies are directed by the [[Brilliant Evening Stars]] or by other immediate lieutenants of [[Gabriel]].

38:7.4 The cherubim and sanobim are the routine [[spirit]] workers on the [[individual worlds]] of [[the systems]]. On a nonpersonal assignment and in an [[emergency]], they may serve in the place of a seraphic pair, but they never [[function]], even temporarily, as attending [[angels]] to [[human beings]]; that is an exclusive [[seraphic]] [[privilege]].

38:7.5 When assigned to a [[planet]], cherubim enter the local [[courses]] of [[training]], including a [[study]] of [[planetary]] usages and [[languages]]. The ministering spirits of time are all [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilingual bilingual], speaking the language of the [[local universe]] of their [[origin]] and that of their [[native]] [[superuniverse]]. By [[study]] in the schools of the realms they acquire additional tongues. ''Cherubim and sanobim'', like [[seraphim]] and all other [[orders]] of [[spirit]] [[beings]], are continuously engaged in efforts at self-improvement. Only such as the subordinate beings of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_29_-_The_Universe_Power_Directors#29:4._THE_MASTER_PHYSICAL_CONTROLLERS power control and energy direction] are incapable of [[progression]]; all [[creatures]] having [[actual]] or [[potential]] [[personality]] [[volition]] seek new [[achievements]].

38:7.6 ''Cherubim and sanobim'' are by [[nature]] very near the [[morontia]] level of [[existence]], and they [[prove]] to be most [[efficient]] in the borderland [[work]] of the [[physical]], [[morontial]], and [[spiritual]] [[domains]]. These [[children]] of the [[local universe]] [[Mother Spirit]] are characterized by "fourth creatures" much as are the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_25#25:1._THE_HAVONA_SERVITALS Havona Servitals] and the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_25#25:2._THE_UNIVERSAL_CONCILIATORS conciliating commissions].

38:7.7 These angelic fourth creatures are of great [[assistance]] to the [[seraphim]] in the more [[literal]] [[phases]] of their [[universe]] and [[planetary]] activities. Such [[morontia]] cherubim also [[perform]] many indispensable borderline tasks on the [[Mansion Worlds|morontia training worlds]] and are assigned to the [[service]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_48#48:3._MORONTIA_COMPANIONS Morontia Companions] in large [[numbers]]. They are to the [[morontia]] [[spheres]] about what the [[midway creatures]] are to the [[evolutionary planets]]. On the [[inhabited worlds]] these [[morontia]] cherubim frequently [[work]] in [[liaison]] with the [[midway creatures]].
