39:1.2 1. ''Son-Spirit Ministers''. 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]].

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 ''Seraphic Corps of Completion''. And they have been further especially [[trained]] to meet the [[difficulties]] and to cope with the [[emergencies]] [[associated]] with the [[bestowals]] of the [[Sons of God]] for the advancement of the [[children]] of [[time]]. Such seraphim have all achieved [[Paradise]] and the [[personal]] [[embrace]] of the Second Source and Center, the [[Eternal Son]].

39:1.6 Seraphim [[equally]] crave assignment to the missions of the [[incarnated]] Sons and attachment as [[destiny guardians]] to the [[mortals]] of the realms; the latter is the surest seraphic passport to [[Paradise]], while the bestowal attendants have achieved the highest [[local universe]] [[service]] of the completion seraphim of [[Paradise]] [[attainment]].

39:1.8 The seraphic court advisers serve extensively as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_defender defenders] of [[mortals]]. 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.

39:1.10 3. ''Universe Orientators''. These are the true [[friends]] and postgraduate [[counselors]] of all those [[ascending creatures]] who are pausing for the last time on [[Salvington]], in their [[universe]] of [[origin]], as they stand on the brink of the [[spirit]] [[adventure]] stretching out before them in the vast [[superuniverse]] of [[Orvonton]]. 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.

39:1.11 It is the task of the universe orientators to [[facilitate]] the passage of the [[ascending]] [[pilgrims]] from the [[attained]] to the unattained level of [[universe]] [[service]], to help these [[pilgrims]] in making those [[kaleidoscopic]] adjustments in the [[comprehension]] of [[meanings]] and [[values]] [[inherent]] in the [[realization]] that a first-stage spirit being stands, not at the end and [[climax]] of the [[local universe]] [[morontia]] [[ascent]], but rather at the very bottom of the long [[Scale|ladder]] of [[spiritual]] [[ascent]] to the [[Universal Father]] on [[Paradise]].

39:1.13 4. ''The Teaching Counselors''. These [[angels]] are the invaluable assistants of the [[spiritual]] teaching corps of the [[local universe]]. Teaching [[counselors]] are [[secretaries]] to all [[orders]] of [[teachers]], from the [[Melchizedeks]] and the [[Trinity Teacher Sons]] down to the [[morontia]] [[mortals]] who are assigned as helpers to those of their kind who are just behind them in the [[scale]] of [[ascendant life]].
