Though serving for what you would regard as an extraordinary length of [[time]], they are not of permanent [[status]]. When this ministry has been completed, as a rule (but not invariably) they return to those [[duties]] they [[performed]] when summoned to [[Paradise]] [[service]].

25:8.3 These selected [[angels]] are [[dedicated]] to the [[service]] of companionship and are assigned as [[associates]] to all classes of [[beings]] who may [[chance]] to be alone on [[Paradise]], chiefly to the [[ascendant]] [[mortals]] but also to all others who are [[alone]] on the central Isle. Paradise Companions have nothing especial to accomplish in behalf of those with whom they fraternize; they are simply companions. Almost every other [[being]] you mortals will encounter during your [[Paradise]] [[sojourn]]—aside from your fellow [[pilgrims]]—will have something definite to do with you or for you; but these companions are assigned only to be with you and to [[commune]] with you as [[personality]] [[associates]].

25:8.4 [[Mortals]] come from [[races]] that are very [[social]]. The [[Creators]] well know that it is "not [[good]] for man to be [[alone]],"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Genesis#Chapter_.2] and provision is accordingly made for companionship, even on [[Paradise]].

25:8.5 If you, as an [[ascendant]] [[mortal]], should reach [[Paradise]] in the company of the companion or close [[associate]] of your earthly [[career]], or if your [[Guardian Angel|seraphic guardian of destiny]] should [[chance]] to arrive with you or were waiting for you, then no permanent companion would be assigned you. But if you arrive [[alone]], a companion will certainly welcome you as you [[awaken]] on the [[Isle of Light]] from the terminal [[sleep]] of [[time]]. Even if it is known that you will be accompanied by someone of [[ascendant]] [[association]], temporary companions will be designated to [[welcome]] you to the [[eternal]] shores and to escort you to the reservation made ready for the reception of you and your [[associates]]. You may be certain of being warmly welcomed when you [[experience]] the [[resurrection]] into [[eternity]] on the everlasting shores of [[Paradise]].

25:8.6 Reception companions are assigned during the terminal days of the [[ascender]]s' [[sojourn]] on the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_14#14:1._THE_PARADISE-HAVONA_SYSTEM last circuit of Havona], and they carefully [[examine]] the [[records]] of [[mortal]] [[origin]] and [[eventful]] [[ascent]] through the worlds of [[space]] and the [[circles]] of [[Havona]]. When they greet the [[mortals]] of [[time]], they are already well versed in the [[careers]] of these arriving [[pilgrims]] and [[immediately]] [[prove]] to be [[sympathetic]] and [[intriguing]] companions.

When once assigned to an [[ascendant]] [[mortal]] of [[solitary]] residence on [[Paradise]], the companion remains with this [[person]] until he either is rejoined by his ascendant [[associates]] or is duly mustered into the [[Corps of the Finality]].

25:8.8 Paradise Companions are assigned in order of waiting except that an [[ascender]] is never placed in the charge of a companion whose [[nature]] is unlike his [[superuniverse]] [[type]]. If a [[Urantia]] [[mortal]] were arriving on [[Paradise]] today, there would be assigned to him the first waiting companion either of [[origin]] in [[Orvonton]] or otherwise of the [[nature]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_16#PAPER_16:_THE_SEVEN_MASTER_SPIRITS Seventh Master Spirit].

25:8.9 Many additional [[services]] are [[performed]] by the ''Paradise Companions'': If an [[ascending]] [[mortal]] should reach the [[central universe]] [[alone]] and, while traversing [[Havona]], should fail in some [[phase]] of the [[Deity]] [[adventure]], in due [[course]] he would be remanded to the [[universes]] of [[time]], and forthwith a call would be made to the reserves of the Paradise Companions.
