48:5.1 The ''Mansion World Teachers'' are a corps of deserted but [[glorified]] [[cherubim]] and [[sanobim]]. When a [[pilgrim]] of [[time]] advances from a [[trial]] world of [[space]] to the [[Mansion Worlds|mansion]] and [[associated]] worlds of [[morontia]] [[training]], he is accompanied by his [[personal]] or [[group]] [[seraphim]], the [[guardian of destiny]]. In the worlds of [[mortal]] [[existence]] the [[seraphim]] is ably assisted by [[cherubim]] and [[sanobim]]; but when her [[mortal]] ward is [[delivered]] from the bonds of the [[flesh]] and starts out on the [[ascendant career]], when the postmaterial or [[morontia]] life begins, the attending [[seraphim]] has no further need of the ministrations of her former lieutenants, the [[cherubim]] and [[sanobim]].

48:5.2 These deserted [[assistants]] of the ministering [[seraphim]] are often summoned to [[universe]] [[headquarters]], where they pass into the [[intimate]] [[embrace]] of the [[Universe Mother Spirit]] and then go forth to [[the system]] [[training]] [[spheres]] as ''Mansion World Teachers''. These [[teachers]] often visit the [[material worlds]] and [[function]] from the lowest [[mansion worlds]] on up to the highest of the [[educational]] [[spheres]] [[connected]] with the [[universe]] [[headquarters]]. Upon their own motion they may return to their former [[associative]] work with the ministering [[seraphim]].

48:5.3 There are billions upon billions of these [[teachers]] in [[Satania]], and their [[numbers]] constantly increase because, in the [[majority]] of instances, when a [[seraphim]] proceeds inward with an [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:7._FATHER-FUSED_MORTALS Adjuster-fused mortal], both a [[cherubim]] and a [[sanobim]] are left behind.

48:5.4 ''Mansion World Teachers'', like most of the other [[instructors]], are commissioned by the [[Melchizedeks]]. They are generally supervised by the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_48#48:3._MORONTIA_COMPANIONS Morontia Companions], but as [[individuals]] and as [[teachers]] they are supervised by the [[acting]] heads of the schools or [[spheres]] wherein they may be [[function]]ing as [[instructors]].

48:5.5 These advanced [[cherubim]] usually [[work]] in pairs as they did when attached to the [[seraphim]]. They are by [[nature]] very near the [[morontia]] [[type]] of [[existence]], and they are [[inherently]] [[sympathetic]] [[teachers]] of the [[ascending mortals]] and most [[efficiently]] conduct the [[program]] of the [[mansion world]] and [[morontia]] [[educational]] [[system]].

48:5.6 In the schools of the [[morontia]] life these [[teachers]] engage in [[individual]], [[group]], [[class]], and mass teaching. On the [[mansion worlds]] such schools are [[organized]] in [[three]] general [[groups]] of one hundred divisions each: the schools of [[thinking]], the schools of [[feeling]], and the schools of [[doing]]. When you reach the [[constellation]], there are added the schools of [[ethics]], the schools of [[administration]], and the schools of [[social]] [[adjustment]]. On the [[universe]] [[headquarters]] worlds you will enter the schools of [[philosophy]], [[divinity]], and pure [[spirituality]].

48:5.7 Those [[things]] which you might have learned on [[earth]], but which you failed to learn, must be acquired under the tutelage of these [[faithful]] and [[patient]] [[teachers]]. There are no royal roads, short cuts, or easy paths to [[Paradise]]. Irrespective of the [[individual]] variations of the route, you master the lessons of one [[sphere]] before you [[proceed]] to another; at least this is true after you once leave the world of your [[nativity]].

48:5.8 One of the [[purposes]] of the [[morontia]] [[career]] is to [[effect]] the [[permanent]] eradication from the [[mortal]] [[survivors]] of such [[animal]] vestigial traits as [[procrastination]], [[equivocation]], insincerity, [[problem]] avoidance, unfairness, and ease seeking. The [[mansonia]] life early teaches the young [[morontia]] [[pupils]] that postponement is in no sense avoidance. After the life in the [[flesh]], [[time]] is no longer available as a [[technique]] of dodging situations or of circumventing disagreeable [[obligations]].

48:5.9 Beginning [[service]] on the lowest of the tarrying [[spheres]], the ''Mansion World Teachers'' advance, with [[experience]], through the [[educational]] [[spheres]] of [[the system]] and the [[constellation]] to the [[training]] worlds of [[Salvington]]. They are subjected to no special [[discipline]] either before or after their [[embrace]] by the [[Universe Mother Spirit]]. They have already been [[trained]] for their [[work]] while serving as [[seraphic]] [[associates]] on the worlds [[native]] to their [[pupils]] of [[mansion world]] [[sojourn]]. They have had [[actual]] [[experience]] with these advancing [[mortals]] on the [[inhabited worlds]]. They are [[practical]] and [[sympathetic]] [[teachers]], [[wise]] and [[understanding]] [[instructors]], able and [[efficient]] guides. They are entirely familiar with the [[ascendant]] [[plans]] and thoroughly [[experienced]] in the [[initial]] [[phases]] of the [[Ascension Career|progression career]].

48:5.10 Many of the older of these [[teachers]], those who have long served on the worlds of the [[Salvington]] [[circuit]], are re-[[embraced]] by the [[Universe Mother Spirit]], and from this second [[embrace]] these [[cherubim]] and [[sanobim]] emerge with the [[status]] of [[seraphim]].
