==PAPER 27: MINISTRY OF THE PRIMARY SUPERNAPHIM==     

27:0.1 Primary supernaphim are the supernal servants of the Deities on the eternal Isle of Paradise. 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. These high supernaphim are perfect beings, supreme in perfection, but they are not absonite, neither are they absolute. 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. They also go forth as special messengers of the Deities, and in large numbers they ascend to become Technical Advisers.

27:0.2 Primary supernaphim are also placed in command of the seraphic hosts ministering on worlds isolated because of rebellion. When a Paradise Son is bestowed upon such a world, completes his mission, ascends to the Universal Father, is accepted, and returns as the accredited deliverer of this isolated world, a primary supernaphim is always designated by the chiefs of assignment to assume command of the ministering spirits on duty in the newly reclaimed sphere. Supernaphim in this special service are periodically rotated. On Urantia the present " chief of seraphim " is the second of this order to be on duty since the times of the bestowal of Christ Michael.

27:0.4 Not until the ascending pilgrims actually attain Paradise residence do they come under the direct influence of these supernaphim, and then they pass through a training experience under the direction of these angels in the reverse order of their naming. That is, you enter upon your Paradise career under the tutelage of the instigators of rest and, after successive seasons with the intervening orders, finish this training period with the conductors of worship. Thereupon are you ready to begin the endless career of a finaliter.

==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 complements of rest of the 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.

27:1.1 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.

27:1.2 [[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 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.

27:1.4 You enter the [[rest]] on the final [[Havona]] [[circuit]] and are [[eternally]] [[resurrected]] on [[Paradise]].

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 his Son are before you, and you are eternally his servants; you have seen his face, and his name is your spirit. There shall be no night there; and they need no light of the sun, for the Great Source and Center gives them light; they shall live forever and ever. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain, for the former things have passed away. "
