27:4.1 Having already been fully instructed in the [[ethics]] of [[Paradise]] [[relationships]]—neither meaningless [[formalities]] nor the dictations of [[artificial]] [[castes]] but rather the [[inherent]] proprieties—the [[ascendant]] [[mortals]] find it helpful to receive the [[counsel]] of the superaphic ''directors of conduct'', who instruct the new members of [[Paradise]] [[society]] in the usages of the [[perfect]] conduct of the high [[beings]] who [[sojourn]] on the [[central Isle]] of [[Light and Life]].
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]].
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]].
