They [[love]] [[human beings]], and only [[good]] can result from your efforts to [[understand]] and [[love]] them.

[[Angels]] are, therefore, commonly designated by [[feminine]] pronouns on the [[sex]] [[planets]].

38:2.3 The [[seraphim]] are so created as to [[function]] on both [[spiritual]] and [[literal]] levels. There are few [[phases]] of [[morontia]] or [[spirit]] [[activity]] which are not open to their ministrations. While in [[personal]] [[status]] angels are not so far removed from [[human being]]s, in certain functional [[performances]] [[seraphim]] far [[transcend]] them. They [[possess]] many [[powers]] far beyond human [[comprehension]]. For example: You have been told that the "very hairs of your head are numbered,"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Luke#Chapter_12] and it is true they are, but a [[seraphim]] does not spend her time counting them and keeping the [[number]] corrected up to date.

The left-hand deflector, or negatively charged angel, is the sanobim—the complement of being. Each type of angel is very limited in solitary function; hence they usually serve in pairs. When serving independently of their seraphic directors, they are more than ever dependent on mutual contact and always function together.

Cherubim and sanobim, like seraphim and all other orders of spirit beings, are continuously engaged in efforts at self-improvement.

Guardians of destiny do not have cherubim and sanobim as helpers when their mortal wards attain the morontia life.
