39:8.2 Seraphim may attain [[Paradise]] in scores—hundreds—of ways, but the most important as elaborated in these [[narratives]] are the following:

*1. 39:8.3 To gain admission to the [[Paradise]] seraphic abode in a [[personal]] [[capacity]] by achieving [[perfection]] of specialized [[service]] as a [[celestial artisan]], a [[Technical Adviser]], or a [[Celestial Recorder]]. To become a [[Paradise Companion]] and, having thus [[attained]] the [[center]] of all [[things]], perhaps then to become an eternal minister and adviser to the seraphic orders and others.

*2. 39:8.4 To be summoned to [[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_13#13:1._THE_SEVEN_SACRED_WORLDS_OF_THE_FATHER Seraphington]. Under certain conditions seraphim are commanded on high; in other circumstances angels sometimes achieve [[Paradise]] in a much shorter time than [[mortals]]. But no matter how fitted any seraphic pair may be, they cannot initiate departure for Seraphington or elsewhere. None but successful [[destiny guardians]] can be sure of proceeding to [[Paradise]] by a [[progressive]] path of [[evolutionary]] [[ascent]]. All others must patiently await the arrival of the [[Paradise]] [[messengers]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_26#26:3._THE_TERTIARY_SUPERNAPHIM tertiary supernaphim] who come with the summons commanding them to appear on high.

*3. 39:8.5 To [[attain]] Paradise by the evolutionary mortal technique. The supreme choice of seraphim in the career of time is the post of guardian angel in order that they may attain the career of finality and be qualified for assignment to the eternal spheres of seraphic service. Such personal guides of the children of time are called guardians of destiny, signifying that they guard mortal creatures in the path of divine destiny, and that in so doing they are determining their own high destiny.

39:8.6 Guardians of destiny are drawn from the ranks of the more experienced angelic personalities of all orders of seraphim who have qualified for this service. All surviving mortals of Adjuster-fusion destiny have temporary guardians assigned, and these associates may become permanently attached when mortal survivors attain the requisite intellectual and spiritual development. Before mortal ascenders leave the mansion worlds, they all have permanent seraphic associates. This group of ministering spirits is discussed in connection with the Urantia narratives.

39:8.7 It is not possible for angels to attain God from the human level of origin, for they are created a " little higher than you "; but it has been wisely arranged that, while they cannot possibly start up from the very bottom, the spiritual lowlands of mortal existence, they may go down to those who do start from the bottom and pilot such creatures, step by step, world by world, to the portals of Havona. When mortal ascenders leave Uversa to begin the circles of Havona, those guardians of attachment subsequent to the life in the flesh will bid their pilgrim associates a temporary farewell while they journey to Seraphington, the angelic destination of the grand universe. Here will these guardians attempt, and undoubtedly achieve, the seven circles of seraphic light.

39:8.8 Many, but not all, of those seraphim assigned as destiny guardians during the material life accompany their mortal associates through the Havona circles, and certain other seraphim pass through the circuits of the central universe in a way that is wholly different from the mortal ascent. But irrespective of the route of ascent, all evolutionary seraphim traverse Seraphington, and the majority pass through this experience instead of the Havona circuits.

39:8.9 Seraphington is the destiny sphere for angels, and their attainment of this world is quite different from the experiences of the mortal pilgrims on Ascendington. Angels are not absolutely sure of their eternal future until they have attained Seraphington. No angel attaining Seraphington has ever been known to go astray; sin will never find response in the heart of a seraphim of completion.

39:8.10 The graduates of Seraphington are variously assigned: Destiny guardians of Havona-circle experience usually enter the Mortal Finaliter Corps. Other guardians, having passed their Havona separation tests, frequently rejoin their mortal associates on Paradise, and some become the everlasting associates of the mortal finaliters, while others enter the various nonmortal finaliter corps, and many are mustered into the Corps of Seraphic Completion.
