Collectively, they are only reflectively present; therefore do the Master Spirits welcome the services of these highly personal angels, the second serials of the primary seconaphim, who are so competent to represent them before the Ancients of Days.

28:6.2 1. ''The Significance of Origins''. The ascendant [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_22#22:7._TECHNIQUE_OF_TRINITIZATION Trinitized Sons] of a [[superuniverse]] [[government]] are charged with the [[responsibility]] of dealing with all issues [[growing]] out of the [[origin]] of any [[individual]], [[race]], or [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 world]; and the significance of [[origin]] is the paramount question in all our plans for the [[cosmic]] [[advancement]] of the living [[creatures]] of the realm. All [[relationships]] and the [[application]] of [[ethics]] [[grow]] out of the [[fundamental]] [[facts]] of [[origin]]. [[Origin]] is the basis of the [[relational]] [[reaction]] of [[the Gods]]. Always does the [[Conjoint Actor]] "take note of the man, in what manner he was born."[http://www.roangelo.net/logwitt/manner.html]
    
28:6.3 With the higher [[descendant beings]], [[origin]] is simply a [[fact]] to be ascertained; but with the [[ascending beings]], including the lower orders of [[angels]], the [[nature]] and circumstances of [[origin]] are not always so clear, though of [[equally]] vital importance at almost every turn of [[universe]] affairs—hence the [[value]] of having at our disposal a series of [[reflective]] seconaphim who can instantly portray anything required respecting the [[Birth|genesis]] of any [[being]] in either the [[central universe]] or throughout the entire realm of a [[superuniverse]].

These are the [[actual]], full and replete, living [[records]] of the [[mercy]] which has been extended to [[individuals]] and [[races]] by the tender ministrations of the instrumentalities of the [[Infinite Spirit]] in the mission of adapting the [[justice]] of [[righteousness]] to the [[status]] of the realms, as disclosed by the portrayals of the Significance of Origins. The Memory of Mercy discloses the [[moral]] [[debt]] of the [[children]] of [[mercy]]—their [[spiritual]] liabilities—to be set down against their [[assets]] of the saving provision established by the [[Paradise Sons of God|Sons of God]]. In [[revealing]] [[the Father]]'s pre-existent mercy, the Sons of God establish the [[necessary]] credit to insure the [[survival]] of all. And then, in [[accordance]] with the findings of the Significance of Origins, a [[mercy]] credit is established for the [[survival]] of each [[rational]] [[creature]], a credit of lavish [[proportions]] and one of sufficient [[grace]] to insure the [[survival]] of every [[soul]] who really [[desires]] [[divine]] [[citizenship]].

28:6.7 The Memory of Mercy must show that the saving credit established by the [[Paradise Sons|Sons of God]] has been fully and [[faithfully]] paid out in the [[loving]] [[ministry]] of the [[patient]] [[personalities]] of the [[Third Source and Center]]. But when [[mercy]] is exhausted, when the "memory" thereof testifies to its depletion, then does [[justice]] prevail and [[righteousness]] [[decree]]. For [[mercy]] is not to be thrust upon those who despise it; [[mercy]] is not a gift to be trampled under foot by the persistent [[rebels]] of [[time]]. Nevertheless, though [[mercy]] is thus precious and dearly [[bestowed]], your [[individual]] drawing credits are always far in excess of your [[ability]] to exhaust the reserve if you are [[sincere]] of [[purpose]] and [[honest]] of [[heart]].

While the [[spirit]] [[techniques]] of [[mercy]] [[ministry]] are beyond your [[concept]], you should even now [[understand]] that [[mercy]] is a [[quality]] of [[growth]]. You should [[realize]] that there is a great reward of [[personal]] [[satisfaction]] in being first [[just]], next [[fair]], then [[patient]], then [[kind]]. And then, on that [[foundation]], if you [[choose]] and have it in your [[heart]], you can take the next step and really show [[mercy]]; but you cannot exhibit [[mercy]] in and of itself. These steps must be traversed; otherwise there can be no genuine [[mercy]]. There may be patronage, condescension, or [[charity]]—even [[pity]]—but not [[mercy]].

28:6.9 3. ''The Import of Time''.

You all have [[time]] in which to [[insure]] your [[survival]]; and time is [[fatally]] squandered only when it is buried in [[neglect]], when you fail so to utilize it as to make certain the [[survival]] of your [[soul]]. Failure to improve one's time to the fullest extent possible does not impose fatal penalties; it merely retards the [[pilgrim]] of [[time]] in his [[journey]] of [[ascent]]. If [[survival]] is gained, all other losses can be retrieved.

28:7.2 Of the three orders of [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_28#28:3._THE_SECONAPHIM seconaphim], the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_28#28:6._THE_TERTIARY_SECONAPHIM tertiary]] [[group]], attached to the [[ascendant]] [[authorities]], minister most extensively to the [[ascending creatures]] of time. You will on occasion meet them soon after your departure from [[Urantia]], though you will not freely make use of their [[services]] until you reach the tarrying worlds of [[Orvonton]]. You will enjoy their [[Friendship|companionship]] when you become fully acquainted with them during your [[sojourn]] on the [[Uversa]] school worlds.

28:7.3 These [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_28#28:6._THE_TERTIARY_SECONAPHIM tertiary seconaphim] are the timesavers, [[space]] abridgers, [[error]] detectors, [[faithful]] [[teachers]], and everlasting guideposts—living signs of [[divine]] [[Assurance|surety]]—in [[mercy]] placed at the crossroads of [[time]], there to [[guide]] the feet of [[anxious]] [[pilgrims]] in [[moments]] of great perplexity and [[spiritual]] [[uncertainty]]. Long before [[attaining]] the [[portals]] of [[perfection]], you will begin to gain [[access]] to the [[tools]] of [[divinity]] and to make contact with the [[techniques]] of [[Deity]]. Increasingly, from the [[time]] you arrive on the initial [[mansion world]] until you close your eyes in the [[Havona]] [[sleep]] [[preparatory]] to your [[Paradise]] transit, you will avail yourself of the [[emergency]] help of these [[marvelous]] [[beings]], who are so fully and freely [[reflective]] of the sure [[knowledge]] and certain [[wisdom]] of those safe and dependable [[pilgrims]] who have preceded you on the long [[journey]] to the [[portals]] of [[perfection]].

28:7.4 We are denied the full [[privilege]] of using these [[angels]] of the [[reflective]] order on [[Urantia]]. They are frequent visitors on your world, accompanying assigned [[personalities]], but here they cannot freely [[function]]. This [[sphere]] is still under partial [[spiritual]] [[quarantine]], and some of the [[circuits]] [[essential]] to their [[services]] are not here at present. When your world is once more restored to the [[reflective]] [[circuits]] concerned, much of the work of [[interplanetary]] and [[interuniverse]] [[communication]] will be greatly simplified and expedited. [[Celestial]] workers on [[Urantia]] encounter many [[difficulties]] because of this [[functional]] curtailment of their [[reflective]] [[associates]]. But we go on [[joyfully]] conducting our affairs with the instrumentalities at hand, notwithstanding our local deprivation of many of the [[services]] of these [[marvelous]] [[beings]], the living [[mirrors]] of [[space]] and the [[presence]] [[projectors]] of [[time]].
