35:8.1 After the [[creation]] of the [[Vorondadeks]], the [[Creator Son]] and the [[Universe Mother Spirit]] [[unite]] for the [[purpose]] of bringing into [[existence]] the third order of universe sonship, the [[Lanonandeks]]. Although occupied with varied tasks [[connected]] with [[the system]] [[administrations]], they are best known as [[System Sovereigns]], the rulers of the [[local systems]], and as [[Planetary Princes]], the administrative heads of the [[inhabited worlds]].

35:8.2 Being a later and lower—as concerns [[divinity]] levels—order of sonship [[creation]], these [[beings]] were required to pass through certain [[courses]] of [[training]] on the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_35#35:3._THE_MELCHIZEDEK_WORLDS Melchizedek worlds] in [[preparation]] for subsequent [[service]]. They were the first students in the [[Melchizedek University]] and were [[classified]] and certified by their [[Melchizedek]] [[teachers]] and examiners according to [[ability]], [[personality]], and [[attainment]].

35:8.3 The [[universe]] of [[Nebadon]] began its [[existence]] with exactly twelve million [[Lanonandeks]], and when they had passed through the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_35#35:3._THE_MELCHIZEDEK_WORLDS Melchizedek sphere], they were divided in the final tests into three classes:

*1. 35:8.4 1. ''Primary Lanonandeks''. Of the highest rank there were 709,841. These are the Sons designated as [[System Sovereigns]] and assistants to the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_43#43:2._THE_CONSTELLATION_GOVERNMENT supreme councils] of the [[constellations]] and as [[counselors]] in the higher [[administrative]] [[work]] of the [[universe]].
*2. 35:8.5 2. ''Secondary Lanonandeks''. Of this order emerging from [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_35#35:3._THE_MELCHIZEDEK_WORLDS Melchizedek] there were 10,234,601. They are assigned as [[Planetary Princes]] and to the reserves of that order.
*3. 35:8.6 3. ''Tertiary Lanonandeks''. This group contained 1,055,558. These Sons function as subordinate assistants, [[messengers]], custodians, commissioners, [[observers]], and prosecute the miscellaneous [[duties]] of a system and its component worlds.

35:8.7 It is not possible, as it is with [[evolutionary]] [[beings]], for these Sons to [[progress]] from one [[group]] to another. When subjected to the [[Melchizedek]] [[training]], when once tested and [[classified]], they serve continuously in the rank assigned. Neither do these Sons engage in [[reproduction]]; their [[number]] in the universe is stationary.

35:8.8 In round numbers the [[Lanonandek]] order of Sons is classified on [[Salvington]] as follows:

*1. Universe Co-ordinators and Constellation Counselors.. 100,000
*2. System Sovereigns and Assistants................................. 600,000
*3. Planetary Princes and Reserves................................10,000,000
*4. Messenger Corps.......................................................... 400,000
*5. Custodians and Recorders............................................ 100,000
*6. Reserve Corps.............................................................. 800,000

35:8.9 Since [[Lanonandeks]] are a somewhat lower order of sonship than the [[Melchizedeks]] and the [[Vorondadeks]], they are of even greater [[service]] in the subordinate [[units]] of the [[universe]], for they are capable of drawing nearer the lower [[creatures]] of the [[intelligent]] [[races]]. They also stand in greater danger of going astray, of departing from the acceptable [[technique]] of [[universe]] [[government]]. But these [[Lanonandeks]], especially the primary order, are the most able and [[versatile]] of all [[local universe]] [[administrators]]. In [[executive]] [[ability]] they are excelled only by [[Gabriel]] and his [[unrevealed]] [[associates]].
