46:7.1 The one thousand [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectangle rectangles] of [[Jerusem]] are occupied by the lower [[native]] life of the [[headquarters]] [[planet]], and at their [[center]] is situated the vast [[circular]] [[headquarters]] of the [[spornagia]].
46:7.2 On [[Jerusem]] you will be amazed by the [[agricultural]] [[achievements]] of the [[wonderful]] [[spornagia]]. There the land is cultivated largely for [[aesthetic]] and ornamental [[effects]]. The [[spornagia]] are the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landscape_architecture landscape gardeners] of the [[headquarters]] worlds, and they are both [[original]] and [[artistic]] in their treatment of the open spaces of [[Jerusem]]. They utilize both [[animals]] and numerous [[mechanical]] contrivances in the [[culture]] of the [[soil]]. They are [[intelligently]] expert in the employment of the [[power]] [[agencies]] of their realms as well as in the utilization of numerous [[orders]] of their lesser brethren of the lower [[animal]] [[creations]], many of which are provided them on these special worlds. This order of [[animal]] life is now largely directed by the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40_-_The_Ascending_Sons_of_God#40:3._TRANSLATED_MIDWAYERS ascending midway creatures] from the [[evolutionary spheres]].
46:7.3 [[Spornagia]] are not [[Adjuster]] indwelt. They do not [[possess]] [[survival]] [[souls]], but they do enjoy long lives, sometimes to the extent of forty to fifty thousand [[standard]] years. Their [[number]] is legion, and they afford [[physical]] [[ministry]] to all [[orders]] of [[universe]] [[personalities]] requiring [[material]] [[service]].
46:7.4 Although [[spornagia]] neither [[possess]] nor [[evolve]] [[survival]] [[souls]], though they do not have [[personality]], nevertheless, they do evolve an [[individuality]] which can [[experience]] [[reincarnation]]. When, with the passing of [[time]], the [[physical]] [[bodies]] of these [[unique]] [[creatures]] deteriorate from usage and age, their [[creators]], in collaboration with the [[Life Carriers]], fabricate new [[bodies]] in which the old [[spornagia]] re-establish their [[residences]].
46:7.5 [[Spornagia]] are the only [[creatures]] in all the [[universe]] of [[Nebadon]] who [[experience]] this or any other sort of [[reincarnation]]. They are only [[reactive]] to the first five of the [[adjutant mind-spirits]]; they are not [[responsive]] to the spirits of [[worship]] and [[wisdom]]. But the five-adjutant [[mind]] [[equivalates]] to a [[totality]] or sixth [[reality]] level, and it is this [[factor]] which [[persists]] as an [[experiential]] [[identity]].
46:7.6 I am quite without comparisons in undertaking to describe these useful and unusual [[creatures]] as there are no [[animals]] on the [[evolutionary worlds]] comparable to them. They are not [[evolutionary]] [[beings]], having been [[projected]] by the [[Life Carriers]] in their present [[form]] and [[status]]. They are [[bisexual]] and [[procreate]] as they are required to meet the needs of a [[growing]] [[population]].
46:7.7 Perhaps I can best suggest to [[Urantia]] [[minds]] something of the [[nature]] of these [[beautiful]] and serviceable [[creatures]] by saying that they [[embrace]] the combined traits of a [[faithful]] [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse horse] and an [[affectionate]] [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog dog] and [[manifest]] an [[intelligence]] exceeding that of the highest type of [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimpanzee chimpanzee]. And they are very [[beautiful]], as judged by the [[physical]] [[standards]] of [[Urantia]]. They are most [[appreciative]] of the [[attentions]] shown them by the [[material]] and semimaterial [[sojourners]] on these [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_15#15:7._THE_ARCHITECTURAL_SPHERES architectural worlds]. They have a [[vision]] which permits them to [[recognize]]—in addition to [[material]] [[beings]]—the [[morontia]] [[creations]], the lower [[angelic]] orders, [[midway creatures]], and some of the lower orders of [[spirit]] [[personalities]]. They do not [[comprehend]] [[worship]] of the [[Infinite]], nor do they grasp the import of the [[Eternal]], but they do, through [[affection]] for their masters, join in the outward [[spiritual]] [[devotions]] of their realms.
46:7.8 There are those who believe that, in a [[future]] universe age, these [[faithful]] [[spornagia]] will escape from their [[animal]] [[level]] of [[existence]] and [[attain]] a worthy [[evolutional]] [[destiny]] of [[progressive]] [[intellectual]] [[growth]] and even [[spiritual]] [[achievement]].
