This diversity may be a result of the unknown interposition of evolving [[experiential]] [[Deity]]; if so, we cannot [[prove]] it. But we do [[observe]] that, when seraphim have been subjected to [[educational]] tests and [[training]] [[discipline]], they unfailingly and distinctly classify into the following [[seven]] [[groups]]:

39:0.2 To say that any one seraphim is inferior to an [[angel]] of any other [[group]] would hardly be true. Nevertheless every angel is at first [[service]]-[[limited]] to the group of [[original]] and [[inherent]] [[classification]]. My seraphic [[associate]] in the [[preparation]] of this [[statement]], ''Manotia'', is a supreme seraphim and onetime [[functioned]] only as a supreme seraphim. By [[application]] and [[devoted]] service she has, one by one, [[achieved]] all [[seven]] of the seraphic [[services]], having [[functioned]] in well-nigh every avenue of activity open to a seraphim, and now holds the commission of ''associate chief of seraphim on [[Urantia]]''.

39:0.3 [[Human beings]] sometimes find it hard to [[understand]] that a [[created]] capacity for higher-level ministry does not [[necessarily]] imply [[ability]] to [[function]] on [[relatively]] lower [[service]] levels. Man begins life as a helpless infant; hence every [[mortal]] [[attainment]] must [[embrace]] all [[experiential]] prerequisites; seraphim have no such preadult life—no [[childhood]]. They are, however, experiential creatures, and by [[experience]] and through additional [[education]] they can augment their [[divine]] and [[inherent]] [[endowment]] of [[ability]] by the experiential acquirement of functional [[skill]] in one or more of the seraphic [[services]].

39:0.4 After being commissioned, seraphim are assigned to the reserves of their [[inherent]] [[group]]. Those of [[planetary]] and [[administrator]] [[status]] often serve for long periods as originally [[classified]], but the higher the [[inherent]] [[function]] level, the more [[persistently]] do the angelic ministers seek assignment to the lower orders of [[universe]] [[service]]. Especially do they [[desire]] assignment to the reserves of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Seraphim#39:5._PLANETARY_HELPERS planetary helpers], and if successful they enroll in the [[celestial]] schools attached to the [[headquarters]] of the [[Planetary Prince]] of some [[evolutionary world]]. Here they begin the [[study]] of the [[languages]], [[history]], and local habits of the [[races]] of [[mankind]]. Seraphim must acquire [[knowledge]] and gain [[experience]] much as do [[human beings]]. They are not far removed from you in certain [[personality]] [[attributes]]. And they all crave to start at the bottom, on the lowest possible level of [[ministry]]; thus may they [[hope]] to achieve the highest possible level of [[experiential]] [[destiny]].

The first [[group]] of the supreme seraphim are assigned to the [[service]] of the high Sons and Spirit-origin beings resident and functioning in the [[local universe]]. This group of angelic ministers also serve the [[Universe Son]] and the [[Universe Spirit]] and are closely affiliated with the [[intelligence]] corps of the [[Bright and Morning Star]], the universe chief executive of the united wills of the [[Creator Son]] and the [[Creative Spirit]].

But they are not concerned in the [[work]] of [[adjudication]] which might be incidental to such a [[change]] in dispensations.

39:1.5 These bestowal attendants are completion seraphim; they have all traversed the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_13#13:1._THE_SEVEN_SACRED_WORLDS_OF_THE_FATHER circles of Seraphington] and have [[attained]] the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_39_-_The_Seraphic_Hosts#39:9._THE_CORPS_OF_SERAPHIC_COMPLETION ''Seraphic Corps of Completion''].

Not that there ever exists any disposition to be unfair to the lowly [[creatures]] of the realms, but while [[justice]] demands the [[adjudication]] of every [[default]] in the climb towards [[divine]] [[perfection]], [[mercy]] requires that every such misstep be [[fairly]] adjudged in accordance with the [[creature]] [[nature]] and the [[divine]] [[purpose]]. These [[angels]] are the exponents and exemplification of the element of [[mercy]] [[inherent]] in [[divine]] [[justice]]—of [[fairness]] based on the [[knowledge]] of the underlying [[facts]] of [[personal]] [[motives]] and [[racial]] tendencies.

And at such a time many an [[ascender]] has a [[feeling]] which [[mortals]] could [[understand]] only by [[comparison]] with the [[human]] [[emotion]] of [[nostalgia]]. Behind lie the realms of [[achievement]], realms grown familiar by long [[service]] and [[morontia]] [[attainment]]; ahead lies the [[challenging]] [[mystery]] of a greater and vaster universe.

39:2.4 The [[intelligence]] corps of the various [[local universes]] can and do intercommunicate but only within a given [[superuniverse]].

39:2.5 2. ''The Voice of Mercy''. [[Mercy]] is the keynote of seraphic [[service]] and angelic [[ministry]]. It is therefore fitting that there should be a corps of [[angels]] who, in a special [[manner]], portray [[mercy]]. These seraphim are the real mercy [[ministers]] of the [[local universes]]. They are the [[inspired]] [[leaders]] who foster the higher impulses and holier [[emotions]] of [[men]] and angels. The directors of these legions are now always completion seraphim who are also [[graduate]] guardians of [[mortal]] [[destiny]]; that is, each angelic pair has [[guided]] at least one [[soul]] of [[animal]] origin during the life in the [[flesh]] and has subsequently traversed the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_13#13:1._THE_SEVEN_SACRED_WORLDS_OF_THE_FATHER circles of Seraphington] and has been mustered into the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_39#39:9._THE_CORPS_OF_SERAPHIC_COMPLETION Seraphic Corps of Completion].

39:2.6 3. ''Spirit Co-ordinators''. The third [[group]] of superior seraphim are based on [[Salvington]] but [[function]] in the [[local universe]] anywhere they can be of fruitful [[service]]. While their tasks are [[essentially]] [[spiritual]] and therefore beyond the real [[understanding]] of [[human]] [[minds]], you will perhaps grasp something of their [[ministry]] to [[mortals]] if it is [[explained]] that these angels are intrusted with the task of [[preparing]] the [[ascendant]] [[sojourners]] on [[Salvington]] for their last [[transition]] in the [[local universe]]—from the highest [[morontia]] level to the [[status]] of newborn [[spirit]] [[beings]]. As the [[mind]] planners on the [[mansion worlds]] help the [[surviving]] [[creature]] to adjust to, and make [[effective]] use of, the [[potentials]] of [[morontia]] [[mind]], so do these seraphim instruct the [[morontia]] [[graduates]] on [[Salvington]] regarding the newly [[attained]] [[capacities]] of the [[mind]] of the [[spirit]]. And they serve the [[ascendant]] [[mortals]] in many other ways.

All groups of [[ministering spirits]] have their [[transport]] corps, angelic orders [[dedicated]] to the [[ministry]] of transporting those [[personalities]] who are unable, of themselves, to [[journey]] from one [[sphere]] to another. The fifth group of the superior seraphim are [[headquartered]] on [[Salvington]] and serve as [[space]] [[traversers]] to and from the [[headquarters]] of the [[local universe]]. Like other subdivisions of the superior seraphim, some were created as such while others have risen from the lower or less [[endowed]] [[groups]].

39:2.9 The "energy range" of seraphim is wholly adequate for [[local universe]] and even for [[superuniverse]] requirements, but they could never withstand the [[energy]] demands entailed by such a long [[journey]] as that from [[Uversa]] to [[Havona]].

39:2.10 <u>Even on [[Salvington]] [[ascending mortals]] do not [[possess]] [[personal]] transit [[forms]]. Ascenders must depend upon seraphic [[transport]] in advancing from world to world until after the last rest of [[sleep]] on the inner circle of [[Havona]] and the [[eternal]] [[awakening]] on [[Paradise]].

39:2.12 When [[enseraphimed]], you go to [[sleep]] for a specified time, and you will [[awake]] at the designated [[moment]]. The length of a [[journey]] when in transit [[sleep]] is immaterial. You are not directly [[aware]] of the passing of [[time]]. It is as if you went to sleep on a [[transport]] vehicle in one city and, after resting in peaceful slumber all night, [[awakened]] in another and distant metropolis. You journeyed while you slumbered. And so you take flight through [[space]], [[enseraphimed]], while you rest—[[sleep]]. The transit sleep is induced by the [[liaison]] between the [[Adjusters]] and the seraphic transporters.

A large and [[efficient]] corps [[functions]] on [[Edentia]], the [[headquarters]] of the [[constellation]] of [[Norlatiadek]], to which your [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_45 system] and [[Urantia|planet]] belong.

39:3.11 7. ''The Reserves''. General reserves of the supervisor seraphim are held on the [[headquarters]] of the [[constellations]]. Such angelic reservists are in no sense inactive; many serve as [[messenger]] aids to the [[Most Highs|constellation rulers]]; others are attached to the [[Salvington]] reserves of unassigned [[Vorondadeks]]; still others may be attached to [[Vorondadek Sons]] on special assignment, such as the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_114#114:4._THE_MOST_HIGH_OBSERVER Vorondadek observer], and sometimes [[Most High]] regent, of [[Urantia]].

==39:4. ADMINISTRATOR SERAPHIM==  

39:4.1 The fourth order of seraphim are assigned to the [[administrative]] [[duties]] of the [[local systems]]. They are [[indigenous]] to the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_46 system capitals] but are stationed in large [[numbers]] on the [[Mansion Worlds|mansion]] and [[morontia]] [[spheres]] and on the [[inhabited worlds]]. Fourth-order seraphim are by [[nature]] [[endowed]] with unusual [[administrative]] [[ability]]. They are the able assistants of the directors of the lower divisions of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_33#PAPER_33:_ADMINISTRATION_OF_THE_LOCAL_UNIVERSE universe government] of a [[Creator Son]] and are mainly occupied with the affairs of the [[local systems]] and their component worlds. They are organized for [[service]] as follows:

They are organized for [[service]] as follows:

39:4.2 1. ''Administrative Assistants''. These able seraphim are the [[immediate]] assistants of a [[System Sovereign]], a primary [[Lanonandek]] Son. They are invaluable aids in the [[execution]] of the intricate details of the [[executive]] [[work]] of the [[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_33#PAPER_33:_ADMINISTRATION_OF_THE_LOCAL_UNIVERSE system headquarters]. They also serve as the [[personal]] [[agents]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_45#45:3._THE_SYSTEM_GOVERNMENT system rulers], [[journeying]] back and forth in large [[numbers]] to the various [[transition]] worlds and to the [[inhabited planets]], [[executing]] many commissions for the welfare of [[the system]] and in the [[physical]] and [[biologic]] interests of its [[inhabited worlds]].

39:4.3 These same seraphic [[administrators]] are also attached to the [[governments]] of the world rulers, the [[Planetary Princes]]. The [[majority]] of [[planets]] in a given [[universe]] are under the [[jurisdiction]] of a secondary [[Lanonandek]] Son, but on certain worlds, such as [[Urantia]], there has been a [[Default|miscarriage]] of the [[divine]] plan. In the [[event]] of the defection of a [[Planetary Prince]], these seraphim become attached to the [[Melchizedek]] receivers and their successors in [[planetary]] [[authority]]. The present acting ruler of [[Urantia]] is assisted by a corps of one thousand of this [[versatile]] order of seraphim.

39:4.4 2. ''Justice Guides''. These are the [[angels]] who present the summary of [[evidence]] concerning the [[eternal]] welfare of [[men]] and angels when such matters come up for [[adjudication]] in the [[tribunals]] of [[a system]] or a [[planet]]. They [[prepare]] the [[statements]] for all preliminary hearings involving [[mortal]] [[survival]], [[statements]] which are subsequently carried with the [[records]] of such cases to the higher [[tribunals]] of the [[universe]] and the [[superuniverse]]. The [[defense]] of all cases of doubtful [[survival]] is [[prepared]] by these seraphim, who have a [[perfect]] [[understanding]] of all the details of every feature of every count in the [[indictments]] drawn by the [[administrators]] of [[universe]] [[justice]].

39:4.5 It is not the mission of these [[angels]] to defeat or to delay [[justice]] but rather to [[insure]] that unerring [[justice]] is dealt out with [[generous]] [[mercy]] in [[fairness]] to all [[creatures]]. These seraphim often [[function]] on the [[local worlds]], commonly appearing before the referee trios of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_25#25:2._THE_UNIVERSAL_CONCILIATORS conciliating commissions]—the [[courts]] for minor misunderstandings. Many who at one time served as [[justice]] guides in the lower realms later appear as [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_39#39:2._SUPERIOR_SERAPHIM ''Voices of Mercy''] in the higher [[spheres]] and on [[Salvington]].

39:4.6 In the [[Lucifer rebellion]] in [[Satania]] very few of the [[justice]] guides were lost, but more than one quarter of the other [[administrator]] seraphim and of the lower orders of seraphic ministers were misled and deluded by the [[sophistries]] of unbridled [[personal]] [[liberty]].

39:4.7 3. ''Interpreters of Cosmic Citizenship''. When [[ascending mortals]] have completed the [[mansion world]] [[training]], the first student apprenticeship in the [[universe career]], they are permitted to [[enjoy]] the transient [[satisfactions]] of [[relative]] [[maturity]]—[[citizenship]] on the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_46 system capital]. While the [[attainment]] of each [[ascendant]] goal is a [[factual]] [[achievement]], in the larger sense such goals are simply milestones on the long [[Ascension Career|ascending path]] to [[Paradise]]. But however [[relative]] such successes may be, no [[evolutionary creature]] is ever denied the full though [[transient]] [[satisfaction]] of goal [[attainment]]. Ever and anon there is a pause in the [[Paradise]] [[ascent]], a short breathing spell, during which [[universe]] [[horizons]] stand still, [[creature]] [[status]] is stationary, and the [[personality]] tastes the sweetness of goal [[fulfillment]].

39:4.8 The first of such periods in the [[career]] of a mortal ascender occurs on the [[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_46 capital of a local system]. During this pause you will, as a [[citizen]] of [[Jerusem]], attempt to [[express]] in [[creature]] life those [[things]] which you have acquired during the eight preceding life [[experiences]]—embracing [[Urantia]] and the [[seven]] [[mansion worlds]].

39:4.9 The seraphic [[interpreters]] of [[cosmic]] [[citizenship]] [[guide]] the new citizens of [[the system]] capitals and quicken their [[appreciation]] of the [[responsibilities]] of [[universe]] [[government]]. These seraphim are also closely [[associated]] with the [[Material Sons]] in [[the system]] [[administration]], while they portray the [[responsibility]] and [[morality]] of [[cosmic]] [[citizenship]] to the [[material]] [[mortals]] on the [[inhabited worlds]].

39:4.14 The keys of the [[kingdom of heaven]] are: [[sincerity]], more [[sincerity]], and more [[sincerity]]. All men have these keys. [[Men]] use them—advance in [[spirit]] status—by [[decisions]], by more decisions, and by more decisions. The highest [[moral]] [[choice]] is the choice of the highest possible [[value]], and always—in any [[sphere]], in all of them—this is to choose to [[do the will of God]]. If man thus [[chooses]], he is great, though he be the [[humblest]] [[citizen]] of [[Jerusem]] or even the least of [[mortals]] on [[Urantia]].

39:4.15 5. ''The Transporters''. These are the [[transport]] seraphim who [[function]] in the [[local systems]]. In [[Satania]], your system, they carry passengers back and forth from [[Jerusem]] and otherwise serve as [[interplanetary]] transporters. Seldom does a day pass in which a transport seraphim of [[Satania]] does not deposit some student visitor or some other [[traveler]] of [[spirit]] or semispirit [[nature]] on the shores of [[Urantia]]. These very space [[traversers]] will sometime carry you to and from the various worlds of the[[ system headquarters]] group, and when you have finished the [[Jerusem]] assignment, they will carry you forward to [[Edentia]]. But under no circumstances will they carry you backward to the world of [[human]] [[origin]]. A [[mortal]] never returns to his [[native]] [[planet]] during the [[dispensation]] of his [[temporal]] [[existence]], and if he should return during a subsequent dispensation, he would be escorted by a transport seraphim of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_33#33:6._GENERAL_ADMINISTRATION universe headquarters] [[group]].

39:4.16 6. ''The Recorders''. These seraphim are the keepers of the threefold [[records]] of the [[local systems]]. The temple of records on a system capital is a [[unique]] [[structure]], one third [[material]], constructed of luminous [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal metals] and [[crystal]]s; one third [[morontial]], fabricated of the [[liaison]] of [[spiritual]] and [[material]] [[energy]] but beyond the range of [[mortal]] [[vision]]; and one third [[spiritual]]. The recorders of this order preside over and [[maintain]] this threefold [[system]] of [[records]]. [[Ascending mortals]] will at first consult the [[material]] [[archives]], [[Material Sons]] and the higher [[transition]] [[beings]] consult those of the [[morontia]] halls, while seraphim and the higher [[spirit]] [[personalities]] of the realm peruse the [[records]] of the [[spirit]] section.

The ministering [[work]] of [[angels]] becomes of increasing interest as it nears the [[inhabited worlds]], as it nears the [[actual]] [[problems]] faced by the [[Human Beings|men and women]] of time who are preparing themselves for the attempt to [[attain]] the goal of [[eternity]].

39:5.2 On [[Urantia]] the [[majority]] of the planetary helpers were removed upon the [[Default|collapse]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_74#74:5._ADAM.27S_ADMINISTRATION Adamic regime], and the seraphic supervision of your world devolved to a greater extent upon the [[administrators]], the [[transition]] ministers, and the [[guardians of destiny]]. But these seraphic aids of your defaulting [[Material Sons]] still serve [[Urantia]] in the following [[groups]]:

But these seraphic aids of your defaulting [[Material Sons]] still serve [[Urantia]] in the following [[groups]]:

39:5.3 1. ''The Voices of the Garden''. When the [[planetary]] course of [[human]] [[evolution]] is attaining its highest [[biologic]] level, there always appear the [[Material Sons and Daughters]], the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_74#PAPER_74:_ADAM_AND_EVE Adams and Eves], to augment the further [[evolution]] of the [[races]] by an actual [[contribution]] of their superior [[life plasm]]. The [[planetary]] [[headquarters]] of such an [[Adam and Eve]] is usually denominated the [[Garden of Eden]], and their [[personal]] seraphim are often known as the "voices of the Garden."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_genesis#Chapter_.3] These seraphim are of invaluable [[service]] to the [[Planetary Adams]] in all their [[projects]] for the [[physical]] and [[intellectual]] upstepping of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64 evolutionary races]. After the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_75 Adamic default] on [[Urantia]], some of these seraphim were left on the [[planet]] and were assigned to [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_76 Adam's successors] in [[authority]].

39:5.4 2. ''The Spirits of Brotherhood''. It should be apparent that, when an [[Adam and Eve]] arrive on an [[evolutionary world]], the task of achieving racial [[harmony]] and social [[co-operation]] among its [[diverse]] [[races]] is one of considerable [[proportions]]. Seldom do these [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64 races of different colors] and varied [[natures]] take kindly to the plan of [[human]] [[brotherhood]]. These [[primitive]] men only come to [[realize]] the wisdom of peaceful interassociation as a result of ripened human [[experience]] and through the [[faithful]] [[ministry]] of the seraphic spirits of brotherhood. Without the [[work]] of these seraphim the [[efforts]] of the [[Material Sons]] to [[harmonize]] and advance the [[races]] of an evolving world would be greatly delayed. And had your [[Adam]] adhered to the [[original]] plan for the advancement of [[Urantia]], by this time these spirits of brotherhood would have worked unbelievable [[transformations]] in the [[human]] [[race]]. In view of the [[Adamic default]], it is indeed remarkable that these seraphic orders have been able to foster and bring to [[realization]] even as much of brotherhood as you now have on [[Urantia]].

39:5.5 3. ''The Souls of Peace''. The early [[millennium]]s of the upward strivings of evolutionary [[men]] are marked by many a [[struggle]]. [[Peace]] is not the [[natural]] state of the [[material]] realms. The worlds first [[realize]] "peace on earth and good will among men"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Luke#Chapter_2] through the ministry of the seraphic souls of peace. Although these [[angels]] were largely thwarted in their early [[efforts]] on [[Urantia]], ''Vevona'', chief of the souls of peace in [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_78 Adam's day], was left on [[Urantia]] and is now attached to the staff of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_114#114:3._THE_RESIDENT_GOVERNOR_GENERAL resident governor general].

39:5.7 4. ''The Spirits of Trust''. Suspicion is the inherent [[reaction]] of [[primitive]] men; the [[survival]] struggles of the early ages do not naturally breed [[trust]]. Trust is a new human acquisition brought about by the [[ministry]] of these planetary seraphim of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_74#74:5._ADAM.27S_ADMINISTRATION Adamic regime]. It is their mission to inculcate [[trust]] into the [[minds]] of evolving men.

Trust is a new human acquisition brought about by the [[ministry]] of these planetary seraphim of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_74#74:5._ADAM.27S_ADMINISTRATION Adamic regime]. It is their mission to inculcate [[trust]] into the [[minds]] of evolving men.

They help the mortal [[philosophers]] to [[realize]] that, when ignorance is [[essential]] to success, it would be a colossal blunder for the [[creature]] to know the [[future]].

39:5.13 When [[celestial]] [[beings]] are to be [[enseraphimed]] for transfer from one world to another, they are brought to the [[headquarters]] of the [[sphere]] and, after due registry, are inducted into the transit [[sleep]]. Meantime, the transport seraphim moves into a [[horizontal]] position [[immediately]] above the [[universe]] energy pole of the [[planet]]. While the energy shields are wide open, the [[sleeping]] [[personality]] is [[skill]]fully deposited, by the officiating seraphic assistants, directly on top of the transport angel. Then both the upper and lower pairs of shields are carefully closed and adjusted.

When all is in readiness for departure, the chief of transport makes the proper inspection of the carriage of life, carries out the routine tests to ascertain whether or not the [[angel]] is properly encircuited, and then announces that the [[traveler]] is properly [[enseraphimed]], that the energies are adjusted, that the angel is [[insulated]], and that everything is in readiness for the departing flash.

By this time the transport seraphim has become an almost [[transparent]], [[vibrating]], torpedo-shaped [[outline]] of glistening [[luminosity]]. Now the transport dispatcher of the realm summons the auxiliary batteries of the living energy transmitters, usually one thousand in [[number]]; as he announces the destination of the transport, he reaches out and [[touches]] the near point of the seraphic carriage, which shoots forward with lightninglike speed, leaving a trail of [[celestial]] [[luminosity]] as far as the planetary [[atmospheric]] investment extends. In less than ten minutes the marvelous [[spectacle]] will be lost even to reinforced seraphic [[vision]].
