20:2.8 There is no [[limit]] to the number of times the Avonal Sons may serve on magisterial and on bestowal missions, but usually, when the [[experience]] has been [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven seven] times traversed, there is suspension in favor of those who have had less of such [[service]]. These Sons of multiple bestowal experience are then assigned to the high [[personal]] council of a [[Creator Son]], thus becoming [[participants]] in the [[administration]] of [[universe]] affairs.

20:2.9 In all their [[work]] for and on the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 inhabited worlds], the ''Magisterial Sons'' are assisted by two orders of [[local universe]] [[creatures]], the [[Melchizedeks]] and the [[archangels]], while on [[bestowal missions]] they are also accompanied by the [[Brilliant Evening Stars]], likewise of [[origin]] in the local creations.

20:4.3 When [[incarnated]] on either [[Paradise Bestowal Son|bestowal]] or [[magisterial missions]], the [[Paradise Sons]] have experienced [[Adjusters]], and these Adjusters are [[different]] for each [[incarnation]]. The Adjusters that occupy the [[minds]] of the incarnated Sons of God can never [[hope]] for [[personality]] through [[fusion]] with the [[human]]-[[divine]] [[beings]] of their indwelling, but they are often [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:4._PERSONALIZED_ADJUSTERS personalized] by [[fiat]] of the [[Universal Father]]. Such Adjusters form the supreme [[Divinington]] council of direction for the [[administration]], identification, and dispatch of [[Mystery Monitors]] to the [[inhabited realms]]. They also receive and accredit [[Adjusters]] on their return to the "bosom of the Father"[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_John#Chapter] upon the [[mortal]] [[Death|dissolution]] of their earthly tabernacles. In this way the [[faithful]] [[Adjusters]] of the world [[judges]] become the exalted chiefs of their kind.

20:4.4 [[Urantia]] has never been host to an [[Avonal Son]] on a magisterial mission.

20:6.2 On a [[mortal]]-[[bestowal mission]], a Paradise Son is always [[born]] of [[woman]] and [[grows]] up as a [[male]] [[child]] of the realm, as [[Jesus]] did on [[Urantia]]. These Sons of [[supreme]] [[service]] all pass from infancy through youth to [[manhood]] just as does a [[human being]]. In every respect they become like the [[mortals]] of the [[race]] into which they are [[born]]. They make [[Prayer|petitions]] to [[the Father]] as do the [[children]] of the realms in which they serve. From a [[material]] [[viewpoint]], these [[human]]-[[divine]] Sons live [[ordinary]] lives with just one exception: They do not beget [[offspring]] on the worlds of their [[sojourn]]; that is a [[universal]] restriction imposed on all orders of the [[Paradise bestowal Sons]].

20:6.3 As [[Jesus]] [[worked]] on your world as the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpentry carpenter's] son, so do other Paradise Sons [[labor]] in various capacities on their bestowal [[planets]]. You could hardly [[think]] of a [[vocation]] that has not been followed by some Paradise Son in the [[course]] of his bestowal on some one of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 evolutionary planets of time].

20:6.4 When a [[bestowal Son]] has mastered the [[experience]] of living the [[mortal]] life, when he has [[achieved]] [[perfection]] of [[attunement]] with his [[indwelling Adjuster]], thereupon he begins that part of his planetary mission designed to [[illuminate]] the [[minds]] and to [[inspire]] the [[souls]] of his [[brethren]] in the [[flesh]]. As [[teachers]], these Sons are exclusively [[devoted]] to the [[spiritual]] [[enlightenment]] of the [[mortal]] [[races]] on the worlds of their sojourn.

20:6.6 When the [[bestowal Sons]], Creator or Magisterial, enter the [[portals]] of [[death]], they reappear on the third day. But you should not [[entertain]] the [[idea]] that they always meet with the [[tragic]] end encountered by the [[Creator Son]] who [[sojourned]] on your world [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/1st_Century nineteen hundred years ago]. The extraordinary and unusually cruel [[experience]] through which [[Jesus]] of [[Nazareth]] passed has caused [[Urantia]] to become locally known as "the world of the cross." It is not [[necessary]] that such inhuman treatment be accorded a Son of God, and the vast majority of [[planets]] have afforded them a more [[Hospitality|considerate reception]], allowing them to finish their [[mortal]] [[careers]], terminate the age, [[adjudicate]] the [[sleeping survivors]], and inaugurate a new [[dispensation]], without imposing a [[violent]] [[death]]. A [[bestowal Son]] must encounter [[death]], must pass through the whole of the [[actual]] [[experience]] of [[mortals]] of the realms, but it is not a requirement of the [[divine]] plan that this [[death]] be either [[violent]] or unusual.

20:6.7 When [[bestowal Sons]] are not put to [[death]] by [[violence]], they voluntarily relinquish their lives and pass through the portals of death, not to satisfy the demands of "stern justice"[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Leviticus#Chapter_.26] or "divine wrath,"[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Exodus#Chapter_.15] but rather to complete the bestowal, "to drink the cup"[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_matthew#Chapter_20] of the [[career]] of [[incarnation]] and [[personal]] [[experience]] in all that [[constitutes]] a [[creature]]'s life as it is lived on the [[planets]] of [[mortal]] [[existence]].
