When assigned to a [[planet]], cherubim enter the local courses of [[training]], including a study of planetary usages and [[languages]]. The [[Paper 38|Paper 38 - Ministering Spirits of the Local Universe ministering spirits of time]] are all bilingual, speaking the language of the [[local universe]] of their origin and that of their native [[superuniverse]]. By [[study]] in the schools of the realms they acquire additional tongues. Cherubim and sanobim, like seraphim and all other orders of [[spirit]] [[beings]], are continuously engaged in efforts at self-improvement. Only such as the subordinate beings of [[power]] control and [[energy]] direction are incapable of progression; all creatures having actual or [[potential]] [[personality]] [[volition]] seek new achievements.

Cherubim and sanobim are by [[nature]] very near the [[morontia]] level of [[existence]], and they prove to be most efficient in the borderland work of the [[physical]], morontial, and spiritual domains. These [[children]] of the [[local universe]] [[Mother Spirit]] are characterized by "fourth creatures" much as are the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_25#25:1._THE_HAVONA_SERVITALS Havona Servitals] and the conciliating commissions. Every fourth cherubim and every fourth sanobim are quasi-[[material]], very definitely resembling the [[morontia]] level of [[existence]].

These angelic fourth creatures are of great assistance to the [[seraphim]] in the more [[literal]] [[phases]] of their universe and planetary activities. Such morontia cherubim also perform many indispensable borderline tasks on the [[Mansion Worlds|morontia training worlds]] and are assigned to the service of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_25#25:7._THE_MORONTIA_COMPANIONS Morontia Companions] in large numbers. They are to the [[morontia]] [[spheres]] about what the [[midway creatures]] are to the evolutionary planets. On the inhabited worlds these morontia cherubim frequently work in liaison with the [[midway creatures]]. Cherubim and midway creatures are distinctly separate orders of beings; they have dissimilar [[origins]], but they disclose great similarity in [[nature]] and [[function]].

==Evolution of Cherubim and Sanobim==

Numerous avenues of advancing [[service]] are open to cherubim and sanobim leading to an enhancement of [[status]], which may be still further augmented by the [[embrace]] of the [[Mother Spirit|Divine Minister]]. There are three great classes of cherubim and sanobim with regard to evolutionary potential:

There are three great classes of cherubim and sanobim with regard to evolutionary potential:

*3. ''Morontia Cherubim''. These "fourth creatures" of the angelic orders always retain their quasi-material characteristics. They will continue on as cherubim and sanobim, together with a majority of their mid-phase brethren, pending the completed factualization of [[the Supreme Being]].

While the second and third [[groups]] are somewhat limited in [[growth]] [[potential]], the [[ascension]] candidates may attain the heights of [[universal]] seraphic service. Many of the more experienced of these cherubim are attached to the seraphic [[guardians of destiny]] and are thus placed in direct line for advancement to the status of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_37#37:7._MANSION_WORLD_TEACHERS Mansion World Teachers] when deserted by their seraphic seniors. Guardians of [[destiny]] do not have cherubim and sanobim as helpers when their [[mortal]] wards attain the [[Mansion Worlds|morontia life]]. And when other types of evolutionary seraphim are granted clearance for [[Seraphington]] and [[Paradise]], they must forsake their former subordinates when they pass out of the confines of [[Nebadon]]. Such deserted cherubim and sanobim are usually embraced by the Universe [[Mother Spirit]], thus achieving a level equivalent to that of a Mansion World Teacher in the attainment of seraphic [[status]].

When, as [[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_37#37:7._MANSION_WORLD_TEACHERS Mansion World Teachers], the once-embraced cherubim and sanobim have long served on the [[morontia]] [[spheres]], from the lowest to the highest, and when their corps on [[Salvington]] is overrecruited, the [[Bright and Morning Star]] summons these faithful servants of the [[creatures]] of [[time]] to appear in his [[presence]]. The oath of [[personality]] [[transformation]] is administered; and thereupon, in groups of seven thousand, these advanced and senior cherubim and sanobim are re-embraced by the Universe Mother Spirit. From this second embrace they emerge as full-fledged seraphim. Henceforth, the full and complete career of a seraphim, with all of its [[Paradise]] possibilities, is open to such reborn cherubim and sanobim. Such angels may be assigned as guardians of destiny to some [[mortal]] [[being]], and if the [[mortal]] ward attains survival, then do they become eligible for advancement to Seraphington and the seven circles of seraphic attainment, even to [[Paradise]] and the [[Corps of the Finality]].
