These angels do contend for [[spiritual]] [[forms]], but they are not the [[source]] of [[Sectarian|ultrasectarianism]] and meaningless [[controversial]] divisions of professed religionists.

This combined corps now consists of 962 persons. The smallest corps numbers 41 and the largest 172. With the exception of less than a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20_%28number%29 score] of [[contact personalities]], the members of this [[unique]] group are wholly [[unconscious]] of their [[preparation]] for possible [[function]] in certain [[planetary]] [[crises]].

114:7.7 The reservists unconsciously [[act]] as conservators of [[essential]] [[planetary]] [[information]]. Many times, upon the [[death]] of a reservist, a [[transfer]] of certain vital [[data]] from the [[mind]] of the dying reservist to a younger successor is made by a [[liaison]] of the two [[Thought Adjusters]]. The Adjusters undoubtedly [[function]] in many other ways unknown to us, in connection with these reserve corps.

114:7.8 On [[Urantia]] the ''reserve corps of destiny'', though having no permanent head, does have its own permanent [[councils]] which [[constitute]] its governing [[organization]]. These [[embrace]] the [[judiciary]] council, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historicism historicity] council, the council on [[political]] [[sovereignty]], and many others. From time to time, in [[accordance]] with the corps [[organization]], titular (mortal) heads of the whole reserve corps have been commissioned by these permanent councils for specific [[function]]. The tenure of such reservist chiefs is usually a matter of a few hours' duration, being limited to the accomplishment of some specific task at hand.
