77:9.1 [[Midwayers]] may be regarded as the first group of the permanent [[inhabitants]] to be found on the various [[orders]] of worlds throughout the [[universes]] in [[contrast]] with evolutionary ascenders like the [[mortal]] [[creatures]] and the [[angelic hosts]]. Such permanent [[citizens]] are encountered at various points in the [[Paradise ascent]].
77:9.2 Unlike the various [[orders]] of [[celestial]] [[beings]] who are assigned to minister on a [[planet]], the [[midwayers]] live on an [[inhabited world]]. The [[seraphim]] come and go, but the [[midway creatures]] remain and will remain, albeit they are nonetheless ministers for being [[natives]] of the [[planet]], and they provide the one continuing [[regime]] which [[harmonizes]] and connects the changing [[administrations]] of the [[seraphic hosts]].
77:9.3 As [[actual]] [[citizens]] of [[Urantia]], the [[midwayers]] have a kinship interest in the [[destiny]] of this [[sphere]]. They are a [[determined]] [[association]], [[persistently]] working for the [[progress]] of their [[native]] [[planet]]. Their [[determination]] is suggested by the motto of their order: "What the United Midwayers undertake, the United Midwayers do."
77:9.4 Although their [[ability]] to traverse the [[energy]] [[circuits]] makes [[planetary]] departure feasible to any [[midwayer]], they have [[individually]] pledged themselves not to leave the [[planet]] prior to their sometime release by the [[universe]] [[authorities]]. [[Midwayers]] are anchored on a [[planet]] until the ages of settled [[light and life]]. With the exception of 1-2-3 the first, no [[loyal]] [[midway creatures]] have ever departed from [[Urantia]].
77:9.5 1-2-3 the first, the eldest of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_77#77:1._THE_PRIMARY_MIDWAYERS primary order], was released from [[immediate]] planetary [[duties]] shortly after [[Pentecost]]. This [[noble]] [[midwayer]] stood [[steadfast]] with [[Van]] and [[Amadon]] during the [[tragic]] days of the [[planetary rebellion]], and his fearless [[leadership]] was instrumental in reducing the casualties in his order. He serves at present on [[Jerusem]] as a member of the [[twenty-four counselors]], having already [[functioned]] as governor general of [[Urantia]] once since [[Pentecost]].
77:9.6 [[Midwayers]] are [[planet]] bound, but much as [[mortals]] talk with [[travelers]] from afar and thus learn about remote places on the [[planet]], so do [[midwayers]] [[converse]] with [[celestial]] travelers to learn about the far places of the [[universe]]. So do they become conversant with this [[Satania|system]] and [[Nebadon|universe]], even with [[Orvonton]] and its sister creations, and so do they [[prepare]] themselves for [[citizenship]] on the higher levels of [[creature]] [[existence]].
77:9.7 While the [[midwayers]] were brought into [[existence]] fully [[developed]]—experiencing no period of [[growth]] or [[development]] from immaturity—they never cease to grow in [[wisdom]] and [[experience]]. Like [[mortals]] they are [[evolutionary]] [[creatures]], and they have a [[culture]] which is a [[bona fide]] evolutionary [[attainment]]. There are many great [[minds]] and mighty [[spirits]] among the [[Urantia]] midway corps.
77:9.8 In the larger aspect the [[civilization]] of [[Urantia]] is the joint product of the Urantia [[mortals]] and the Urantia [[midwayers]], and this is true despite the present [[differential]] between the two [[levels]] of [[culture]], a differential which will not be [[compensated]] prior to the ages of [[light and life]].
77:9.9 The midway [[culture]], being the product of an [[immortal]] planetary [[citizenry]], is [[relatively]] immune to those [[temporal]] [[vicissitudes]] which beset [[human]] [[civilization]]. The [[generations]] of men forget; the corps of [[midwayers]] [[remembers]], and that memory is the treasure house of the [[traditions]] of your [[inhabited world]]. Thus does the [[culture]] of a [[planet]] remain ever present on that planet, and in proper circumstances such treasured [[memories]] of [[past]] [[events]] are made available, even as the [[story]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Urantia_Text_-_Contents#Part_IV._The_Life_and_Teachings_of_Jesus life and teachings of Jesus] has been given by the [[midwayers]] of [[Urantia]] to their cousins in the [[flesh]].
77:9.10 [[Midwayers]] are the skillful ministers who [[compensate]] that gap between the [[material]] and [[spiritual]] affairs of Urantia which appeared upon the [[death]] of [[Adam and Eve]]. They are likewise your [[elder]] [[brethren]], [[comrades]] in the long [[struggle]] to [[attain]] a settled [[status]] of [[light and life]] on [[Urantia]]. The ''United Midwayers'' are a [[rebellion]]-tested corps, and they will [[faithfully]] enact their part in [[planetary]] [[evolution]] until this world attains the goal of the ages, until that distant day when in [[fact]] [[peace]] does reign on [[earth]] and in [[truth]] is there [[good]] will in the [[hearts]] of men.
77:9.11 Because of the valuable [[work]] performed by these [[midwayers]], we have concluded that they are a truly [[essential]] part of the [[spirit]] [[economy]] of the realms. And where [[rebellion]] has not marred a [[planet]]'s affairs, they are of still greater [[assistance]] to the [[seraphim]].
77:9.12 The entire [[organization]] of high [[spirits]], [[angelic hosts]], and midway fellows is [[enthusiastically]] [[devoted]] to the furtherance of the [[Paradise]] [[plan]] for the [[progressive]] [[ascension]] and [[perfection]] [[attainment]] of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:5._MORTALS_OF_TIME_AND_SPACE evolutionary mortals], one of the [[supernal]] businesses of the [[universe]]—the superb [[survival]] plan of bringing [[God]] down to man and then, by a [[sublime]] sort of [[partnership]], carrying man up to [[God]] and on to [[eternity]] of [[service]] and [[divinity]] of [[attainment]]—alike for [[mortal]] and [[midwayer]].
