114:7.1 The ''reserve corps of destiny'' consists of living men and women who have been admitted to the special [[service]] of the [[superhuman]] [[administration]] of world affairs. This corps is made up of the men and women of each [[generation]] who are chosen by the spirit directors of the realm to assist in the [[conduct]] of the ministry of [[mercy]] and [[wisdom]] to the [[children]] of time on the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 evolutionary worlds]. It is the general [[practice]] in the [[conduct]] of the affairs of the [[ascension]] plans to begin this [[liaison]] utilization of [[mortal]] [[Free will|will]] creatures immediately they are competent and trustworthy to assume such [[responsibilities]]. Accordingly, as soon as men and women appear on the [[stage]] of temporal [[action]] with sufficient [[mental]] [[capacity]], adequate [[moral]] [[status]], and requisite [[spirituality]], they are quickly assigned to the appropriate [[celestial]] group of planetary [[personalities]] as [[human]] [[liaisons]], mortal assistants.

114:7.2 When [[human beings]] are chosen as protectors of [[planetary]] [[destiny]], when they become pivotal [[individuals]] in the [[plans]] which the world [[administrators]] are prosecuting, at that time the [[planetary]] chief of seraphim confirms their temporal attachment to the seraphic corps and appoints [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_113#113:2._THE_DESTINY_GUARDIANS personal destiny guardians] to serve with these [[mortal]] reservists.

114:7.4 Each division of planetary [[celestial]] [[service]] is entitled to a [[liaison]] corps of these [[mortals]] of [[destiny]] standing.

114:7.5 The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12_%28number%29 twelve] groups of [[Urantia]] [[destiny]] reservists are composed of [[mortal]] inhabitants of the [[sphere]] who have been [[rehearsed]] for numerous crucial positions on [[earth]] and are held in readiness to [[act]] in possible planetary emergencies. This combined corps now consists of 962 persons. The smallest corps numbers 41 and the largest 172. With the exception of less than a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20_%28number%29 score] of [[contact personalities]], the members of this [[unique]] group are wholly [[unconscious]] of their [[preparation]] for possible [[function]] in certain [[planetary]] [[crises]].

On [[Urantia]] these reservists of [[destiny]] have seldom been emblazoned on the pages of [[human]] [[history]].

114:7.7 The reservists unconsciously [[act]] as conservators of [[essential]] [[planetary]] [[information]]. Many times, upon the [[death]] of a reservist, a [[transfer]] of certain vital [[data]] from the [[mind]] of the dying reservist to a younger successor is made by a [[liaison]] of the two [[Thought Adjusters]]. The Adjusters undoubtedly [[function]] in many other ways unknown to us, in connection with these reserve corps.

114:7.8 On [[Urantia]] the ''reserve corps of destiny'', though having no permanent head, does have its own permanent [[councils]] which [[constitute]] its governing [[organization]]. These [[embrace]] the [[judiciary]] council, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historicism historicity] council, the council on [[political]] [[sovereignty]], and many others. From time to time, in [[accordance]] with the corps [[organization]], titular (mortal) heads of the whole reserve corps have been commissioned by these permanent councils for specific [[function]]. The tenure of such reservist chiefs is usually a matter of a few hours' duration, being limited to the accomplishment of some specific task at hand.

114:7.10 (The ''cosmic reserve corps'' of [[universe]]-[[conscious]] [[citizens]] on [[Urantia]] now numbers over one thousand [[mortals]] whose [[insight]] of cosmic [[citizenship]] far transcends the sphere of their [[terrestrial]] abode, but I am forbidden to reveal the real [[nature]] of the [[function]] of this [[unique]] group of living [[human beings]].)

114:7.12 But it is true that you can have, at best, only a meager [[idea]] of an [[ideal]] [[planetary]] [[government]].

The [[loyal]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 inhabited worlds] of [[Satania]] are not governed as is [[Urantia]]. Nevertheless, compared with the other [[isolated]] worlds, your [[planetary]] [[governments]] have not been so inferior; only one or two worlds may be said to be worse, and a few may be slightly better, but the majority are on a [[plane]] of [[equality]] with you.

114:7.13 No one in the [[local universe]] seems to know when the unsettled [[status]] of the planetary [[administration]] will terminate.
