45:7.1 The [[Melchizedeks]] are the directors of that large corps of [[instructors]]—partially spiritualized [[Free will|will]] [[creatures]] and others—who [[function]] so acceptably on [[Jerusem]] and its [[associated]] worlds but especially on the [[seven mansion worlds]]. These are the [[detention]] [[planets]], where those [[mortals]] who fail to [[achieve]] [[fusion]] with their indwelling [[Adjusters]] during the life in the [[flesh]] are [[rehabilitated]] in [[transient]] [[form]] to receive further help and to [[enjoy]] extended [[opportunity]] for continuing their strivings for [[spiritual]] [[attainment]], those very [[efforts]] which were prematurely interrupted by [[death]]. Or if, for any other [[reason]] of [[hereditary]] [[handicap]], unfavorable [[environment]], or [[conspiracy]] of [[circumstances]], this [[soul]] [[attainment]] was not completed, no matter what the [[reason]], all who are [[true]] of [[purpose]] and [[worthy]] in [[spirit]] find themselves, as themselves, present on the continuing [[planets]], where they must learn to master the [[essentials]] of the [[eternal career]], to [[possess]] themselves of [[traits]] which they could not, or did not, acquire during the lifetime in the [[flesh]].
45:7.2 The [[Brilliant Evening Stars]] (and their [[unnamed]] [[co-ordinates]]) frequently serve as [[teachers]] in the various [[educational]] [[enterprise]]s of the [[universe]], including those sponsored by the [[Melchizedeks]]. Also do the [[Trinity Teacher Sons]] [[collaborate]], and they impart the [[touch]]es of [[Paradise]] [[perfection]] to these [[progressive]] [[training]] schools. But all these [[activities]] are not exclusively ''devoted'' to the advancement of [[ascending mortals]]; many are [[equally]] occupied with the [[progressive]] [[training]] of the [[native]] [[spirit]] [[personalities]] of [[Nebadon]].
45:7.3 [http://www.nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_35#35:2._THE_MELCHIZEDEK_SONS The Melchizedek Sons] conduct upward of thirty [[different]] [[educational]] [[centers]] on [[Jerusem]]. These [[training]] schools begin with the [[college]] of [[self-evaluation]] and end with the schools of [[Jerusem]] [[citizenship]], wherein the [[Material Sons and Daughters]] join with the [[Melchizedeks]] and others in their [[supreme]] [[effort]] to [[qualify]] the [[mortal]] [[survivors]] for the [[assumption]] of the high [[responsibilities]] of [[representative]] [[government]]. The entire [[universe]] is [[organized]] and [[administered]] on the [[representative]] [[plan]]. [[Representative]] [[government]] is the [[divine]] [[ideal]] of [[self-government]] among nonperfect [[beings]].
45:7.4 Every one hundred years of [[universe]] time each [[the System|system]] selects its ten [[representatives]] to sit in the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_43#43:2._THE_CONSTELLATION_GOVERNMENT constellation legislature]. They are chosen by the [[Jerusem]] [[council]] of one thousand, an [[elective]] [[body]] [[Mandate|charged]] with the [[duty]] of [[representing]] [[the system]] [[groups]] in all such [[delegated]] or appointive matters. All [[representatives]] or other [[delegates]] are selected by the [[council]] of one thousand electors, and they must be [[graduates]] of the highest school of the ''[[Melchizedek]] College of [[Administration]]'', as also are all of those who [[constitute]] this [[group]] of one thousand electors. This school is fostered by the [[Melchizedeks]], latterly assisted by the [[finaliters]].
45:7.5 There are many [[elective]] bodies on [[Jerusem]], and they are [[voted]] into [[authority]] from time to time by [[three]] [[orders]] of [[citizenship]]—the [[Material Sons and Daughters]], the [[seraphim]] and their [[associates]], including [[midway creatures]], and the [[ascending mortals]]. To receive nomination for [[representative]] [[honor]] a [[candidate]] must have gained requisite [[recognition]] from the [[Melchizedek]] schools of [[administration]].
45:7.6 [[Suffrage]] is [[universal]] on [[Jerusem]] among these [[three]] [[groups]] of [[citizenship]], but the [[vote]] is [[differentially]] cast in [[accordance]] with the [[recognized]] and duly registered [[personal]] [[possession]] of [[mota]]—[[morontia]] [[wisdom]]. The [[vote]] cast at a [[Jerusem]] [[election]] by any one [[personality]] has a [[value]] ranging from one up to one thousand. [[Jerusem]] [[citizens]] are thus [[classified]] in accordance with their [[mota]] [[achievement]].
45:7.7 From time to time [[Jerusem]] [[citizens]] present themselves to the [[Melchizedek]] [[examiners]], who certify to their [[attainment]] of [[morontia]] [[wisdom]]. Then they go before the examining corps of the [[Brilliant Evening Stars]] or their designates, who ascertain the [[degree]] of [[spirit]] [[insight]]. Next they [[appear]] in the [[presence]] of the [[four and twenty counselors]] and their [[associates]], who pass upon their [[status]] of [[experiential]] [[attainment]] of [[socialization]]. These [[three]] factors are then carried to the [[citizenship]] registrars of [[representative]] [[government]], who quickly [[compute]] the [[mota]] [[status]] and assign [[suffrage]] qualifications in accordance therewith.
45:7.8 Under the supervision of the [[Melchizedeks]] the [[ascending mortals]], especially those who are tardy in their [[personality]] [[unification]] on the new [[morontia]] [[levels]], are taken in hand by the [[Material Sons]] and are given [[intensive]] [[training]] [[designed]] to rectify such deficiencies. No [[ascending]] [[mortal]] leaves the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_46 system headquarters] for the more extensive and varied socialization [[career]] of the [[constellation]] until these [[Material Sons]] certify to the [[achievement]] of [[mota]] [[personality]]—an [[individuality]] combining the completed [[mortal]] [[existence]] in [[experiential]] [[association]] with the budding [[morontia]] [[career]], both being duly blended by the [[spiritual]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_10_-_The_Paradise_Trinity#10:7._THE_OVERCONTROL_OF_SUPREMACY overcontrol] of the [[Thought Adjuster]].
