Never have they been known to depart from the paths of [[light]] and [[righteousness]]. The roll calls are complete; from [[eternity]] not one of this [[magnificent]] [[host]] has been lost.

Being of the [[essence]] of [[perfection]], these [[children]] of the [[Infinite Spirit]] [[work]] interchangeably and at will in all [[phases]] of their manifold [[duties]]. They do not [[function]] extensively outside [[Paradise]], though they do [[participate]] in the various millennial gatherings and [[group]] reunions of the [[central universe]].

==27:1. INSTIGATORS OF REST==   

27:1.1 The ''instigators of rest'' are the inspectors of [[Paradise]] who go forth from the [[central Isle]] to the inner circuit of [[Havona]], there to [[collaborate]] with their [[colleagues]], the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_26#26:11._THE_COMPLEMENTS_OF_REST complements of rest] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_26#26:4._THE_SECONDARY_SUPERNAPHIM secondary order of supernaphim]. The one [[essential]] to the enjoyment of [[Paradise]] is rest, divine rest; and these ''instigators of rest'' are the final instructors who make ready the [[pilgrims]] of [[time]] for their introduction to [[eternity]]. They begin their [[work]] on the final [[attainment]] [[circle]] of the [[central universe]] and continue it when the [[pilgrim]] awakes from the last [[transition]] [[sleep]], the slumber which [[graduates]] a [[creature]] of [[space]] into the realm of the [[eternal]].

27:1.2 [[Rest]] is of a sevenfold [[nature]]: There is the rest of [[sleep]] and of [[play]] in the lower life orders, [[discovery]] in the higher beings, and [[worship]] in the highest type of [[spirit]] [[personality]]. There is also the [[normal]] rest of [[energy]] intake, the recharging of [[beings]] with [[physical]] or with [[spiritual]] [[energy]]. And then there is the transit [[sleep]], the [[unconscious]] slumber when [[enseraphimed]], when in passage from one [[sphere]] to another. Entirely [[different]] from all of these is the deep [[sleep]] of [[metamorphosis]], the [[transition]] rest from one [[stage]] of [[being]] to another, from one life to another, from one [[state]] of [[existence]] to another, the [[sleep]] which ever attends [[transition]] from [[actual]] [[universe]] [[status]] in [[contrast]] to [[evolution]] through various [[stages]] of any one [[status]].

27:1.3 But the last [[metamorphic]] [[sleep]] is something more than those previous [[transition]] slumbers which have marked the [[successive]] [[status]] [[attainments]] of the [[ascendant career]]; thereby do the [[creatures]] of [[time and space]] traverse the innermost margins of the [[temporal]] and the [[spatial]] to [[attain]] residential [[status]] in the timeless and spaceless [[abodes]] of [[Paradise]]. The instigators and the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_26#26:11._THE_COMPLEMENTS_OF_REST complements of rest] are just as [[essential]] to this [[transcending]] [[metamorphosis]] as are the [[seraphim]] and associated [[beings]] to the [[mortal]] [[creature]]'s [[survival]] of [[death]].

27:1.4 You enter the [[rest]] on the final [[Havona]] [[circuit]] and are [[eternally]] [[resurrected]] on [[Paradise]]. And as you there [[spiritually]] [[repersonalize]], you will [[immediately]] recognize the ''instigator of rest'' who [[welcomes]] you to the [[eternal]] shores as the very ''primary supernaphim'' who produced the final [[sleep]] on the innermost circuit of [[Havona]]; and you will recall the last grand stretch of [[faith]] as you once again made ready to commend the keeping of your [[identity]] into the hands of the [[Universal Father]].

27:1.5 The last [[rest]] of [[time]] has been enjoyed; the last [[transition]] [[sleep]] has been [[experienced]]; now you [[awake]] to life everlasting on the shores of the eternal [[abode]]. "And there shall be no more [[sleep]]. The [[presence]] of [[God]] and [[Eternal Son|his Son]] are before you, and you are [[eternally]] his servants; you have seen his face, and his [[name]] is your [[spirit]].

27:2.1 This is the [[group]] designated from [[time]] to time by the chief supernaphim, "the original pattern angel," to preside over the [[organization]] of all three orders of these [[angels]]—[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_26#26:2._THE_MIGHTY_SUPERNAPHIM primary], [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_26#26:4._THE_SECONDARY_SUPERNAPHIM secondary], and [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_26#26:3._THE_TERTIARY_SUPERNAPHIM tertiary]. The [[supernaphim]], as a [[body]], are wholly self-governing and self-regulatory except for the [[functions]] of their mutual chief, the first [[angel]] of [[Paradise]], who ever presides over all these [[spirit]] [[personalities]].

27:2.2 The angels of assignment have much to do with [[glorified]] [[mortal]] residents of [[Paradise]] before they are admitted to the [[Corps of the Finality]]. [[Study]] and [[instruction]] are not the exclusive occupations of Paradise arrivals; [[service]] also plays its [[essential]] part in the prefinaliter [[educational]] [[experiences]] of [[Paradise]]. And I have [[observed]] that, when the [[ascendant]] [[mortals]] have periods of [[leisure]], they evince a predilection to fraternize with the reserve corps of the superaphic chiefs of assignment.

27:2.3 When you [[mortal]] [[ascenders]] [[attain]] [[Paradise]], your societal [[relationships]] involve a great deal more than contact with a host of exalted and [[divine]] [[beings]] and with a familiar multitude of [[glorified]] fellow [[mortals]]. You must also fraternize with upwards of three thousand [[different]] orders of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_19#19:7._PARADISE_CITIZENS Paradise Citizens], with the various [[groups]] of the [[Transcendentalers]], and with numerous other [[types]] of [[Paradise]] inhabitants, permanent and transient, who have not been [[revealed]] on [[Urantia]]. After sustained contact with these mighty [[intellects]] of [[Paradise]], it is very restful to visit with the [[angelic]] [[types]] of [[mind]]; they remind the [[mortals]] of [[time]] of the [[seraphim]] with whom they have had such long contact and such refreshing [[association]].

==27:3. INTERPRETERS OF ETHICS==   

27:3.2 [[Ethics]] has been duly taught and adequately learned by the [[pilgrims]] of [[time]] in their long [[ascent]] to the [[glories]] of [[Paradise]]. As this inward-[[ascending career]] has [[unfolded]] from the [[nativity]] worlds of [[space]], the [[ascenders]] have continued to add group after group to their ever-widening [[circle]] of [[universe]] [[associates]]. Every new [[group]] of [[colleagues]] met with adds one more level of [[ethics]] to be recognized and complied with until, by the [[time]] the [[mortals]] of ascent reach [[Paradise]], they really need someone to provide helpful and friendly [[counsel]] regarding ethical [[interpretations]]. They do not need to be taught [[ethics]], but they do need to have what they have so laboriously learned properly [[interpreted]] to them as they are brought face to face with the extraordinary task of contacting with so much that is new.

27:3.3 The ''interpreters of ethics'' are of inestimable [[assistance]] to the [[Paradise]] arrivals in helping them to adjust to numerous groups of [[majestic]] [[beings]] during that [[eventful]] period extending from the [[attainment]] of residential [[status]] to [[formal]] induction into the [[Corps of Mortal Finaliters]]. Many of the numerous [[types]] of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_19#19:7._PARADISE_CITIZENS Paradise Citizens] the [[ascendant]] [[pilgrims]] have already met on the seven circuits of [[Havona]]. The glorified mortals have also enjoyed [[intimate]] contact with the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_22#22:8._THE_CREATURE-TRINITIZED_SONS creature-trinitized sons] of the conjoint corps on the inner [[Havona]] circuit, where these [[beings]] are receiving much of their [[education]]. And on the other circuits the [[ascending]] [[pilgrims]] have met numerous unrevealed residents of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_14#14:1._THE_PARADISE-HAVONA_SYSTEM Paradise-Havona system] who are there pursuing [[group]] [[training]] in [[preparation]] for the unrevealed [[Service|assignments]] of the [[future]].

27:3.4 All these [[celestial]] companionships are invariably [[mutual]]. As [[ascending]] [[mortals]] you not only derive benefit from these [[successive]] [[universe]] companions and such numerous orders of increasingly [[divine]] associates, but you also impart to each of these fraternal [[beings]] something from your own [[personality]] and [[experience]] which forever makes every one of them [[different]] and better for having been [[associated]] with an [[ascending]] [[mortal]] from the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 evolutionary worlds] of [[time and space]].

==27:4. DIRECTORS OF CONDUCT==     

27:4.2 [[Harmony]] is the keynote of the [[central universe]], and detectable order prevails on [[Paradise]]. Proper [[conduct]] is [[essential]] to [[progress]] by way of [[knowledge]], through [[philosophy]], to the [[spiritual]] heights of [[spontaneous]] [[worship]]. There is a [[divine]] [[technique]] in the approach to [[Divinity]]; and the acquirement of this [[technique]] must await the [[pilgrims]]' arrival on [[Paradise]]. The [[spirit]] of it has been imparted on the [[circles]] of [[Havona]], but the final touches of the [[training]] of the [[pilgrims]] of [[time]] can be applied only after they actually attain the [[Isle of Light]].

27:4.3 All [[Paradise]] [[conduct]] is wholly [[spontaneous]], in every sense [[natural]] and [[free]]. But there still is a proper and [[perfect]] way of [[doing]] [[things]] on the [[eternal Isle]], and the ''directors of conduct'' are ever by the side of the "strangers within the gates"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Exodus#Chapter_.20] to instruct them and so [[guide]] their steps as to put them at perfect ease and at the same time to enable the [[pilgrims]] to avoid that confusion and [[uncertainty]] which would otherwise be [[inevitable]]. Only by such an arrangement could endless [[confusion]] be avoided; and confusion never appears on [[Paradise]].

Only by such an arrangement could endless [[confusion]] be avoided; and confusion never appears on [[Paradise]].

27:4.4 These ''directors of conduct'' really serve as [[glorified]] [[teachers]] and guides. They are chiefly concerned with instructing the new [[mortal]] residents regarding the almost endless array of new situations and unfamiliar usages. Notwithstanding all the long [[preparation]] therefor and the long [[journey]] thereto, [[Paradise]] is still inexpressibly strange and unexpectedly new to those who finally [[attain]] residential [[status]].

Notwithstanding all the long [[preparation]] therefor and the long [[journey]] thereto, [[Paradise]] is still inexpressibly strange and unexpectedly new to those who finally [[attain]] residential [[status]].

They are in [[reality]] living, [[automatic]] [[libraries]]. The [[facts]] of the [[universes]] are [[inherent]] in these ''primary supernaphim'', actually recorded in these [[angels]]; and it is also [[inherently]] impossible for an untruth to gain lodgment in the [[minds]] of these perfect and replete repositories of the [[truth]] of [[eternity]] and the [[intelligence]] of [[time]].

27:5.2 These custodians conduct informal [[courses]] of [[instruction]] for the residents of the [[eternal Isle]], but their chief [[function]] is that of [[reference]] and verification. Any sojourner on [[Paradise]] may at will have by his side the living repository of the particular [[fact]] or [[truth]] he may wish to know. At the northern extremity of the Isle there are available the living finders of [[knowledge]], who will designate the director of the group holding the [[information]] sought, and forthwith will appear the [[brilliant]] [[beings]] who are the very [[thing]] you wish to know. No longer must you seek [[enlightenment]] from [[Paper|engrossed]] pages; you now [[commune]] with living [[intelligence]] face to face. [[Supreme]] [[knowledge]] you thus obtain from the living [[beings]] who are its final custodians.

27:5.5 These primary supernaphim who are [[inherently]] in [[possession]] of [[universe]] [[knowledge]] are also [[responsible]] for its [[organization]] and classification. In [[constituting]] themselves the living [[reference]] [[library]] of the [[universe of universes]], they have classified [[knowledge]] into seven grand orders, each having about one million subdivisions. The facility with which the residents of [[Paradise]] can consult this vast store of [[knowledge]] is solely due to the voluntary and [[wise]] efforts of the ''custodians of knowledge''. The custodians are also the exalted [[teachers]] of the [[central universe]], freely giving out their living treasures to all [[beings]] on any of the [[Havona]] circuits, and they are extensively, though indirectly, utilized by the [[courts]] of the [[Ancients of Days]].

Only by indirection and [[reflectively]] are the benefits of [[Paradise]] [[knowledge]] secured in the [[local universes]].

27:6.4 These [[Paradise]] philosophers [[teach]] by every possible [[method]] of [[Pedagogy|instruction]], including the higher graph technique of [[Havona]] and certain [[Paradise]] [[methods]] of [[communicating]] [[information]]. All of these higher [[techniques]] of imparting [[knowledge]] and conveying [[ideas]] are utterly beyond the [[comprehension]] capacity of even the most highly [[developed]] [[human]] [[mind]].
