PAPER 31
THE CORPS OF THE FINALITY
31:0.1 THE Corps of Mortal Finaliters represents the
present known destination of the ascending Adjuster-fused mortals of time. But
there are other groups who are also assigned to this corps. The primary
finaliter corps is composed of the following:
1. Havona Natives.
2. Gravity Messengers.
3. Glorified Mortals.
4. Adopted Seraphim.
5. Glorified Material Sons.
6. Glorified Midway Creatures.
31:0.2 These six groups of glorified beings compose
this unique body of eternal destiny. We think we know their future work, but
we are not certain. While the Corps of the Mortal Finality is mobilizing on
Paradise, and while they now so extensively minister to the universes of space
and administer the worlds settled in light and life, their future destination
must be the now-organizing universes of outer space. At least that is the
conjecture of Uversa.
31:0.3 The corps is organized in accordance with the
working associations of the worlds of space and in keeping with the
associative experience acquired throughout the long and eventful ascendant
career. All the ascendant creatures admitted to this corps are received in
equality, but this exalted equality in no way abrogates individuality or
destroys personal identity. We can immediately discern, in communicating with
a finaliter, whether he is an ascendant mortal, Havona native, adopted
seraphim, midway creature, or Material Son.
31:0.4 During the present universe age the
finaliters return to serve in the universes of time. They are assigned to
labor successively in the different superuniverses and never in their native
superuniverses until after they have served in all the other six
supercreations. Thus may they acquire the sevenfold concept of the Supreme
Being.
31:0.5 One or more companies of the mortal
finaliters are constantly in service on Urantia. There is no domain of
universe service to which they are not assigned; they function universally and
with alternating and equal periods of assigned duty and free
service.
31:0.6 We have no idea as to the nature of the
future organization of this extraordinary group, but the finaliters are now
wholly a self-governing body. They choose their own permanent, periodic, and
assignment leaders and directors. No outside influence can ever be brought to
bear upon their policies, and their oath of allegiance is only to the Paradise
Trinity.
31:0.7 The finaliters maintain their own
headquarters on Paradise, in the superuniverses, in the local universes, and
on all the divisional capitals. They are a separate order of evolutionary
creation. We do not directly manage them or control them, and yet they are
absolutely loyal and always co-operative with all our plans. They are indeed
the accumulating tried and true souls of time and space -- the evolutionary
salt of the universe -- and they are forever proof against evil and secure
against sin.
1. THE HAVONA NATIVES
31:1.1 Many of the Havona natives who serve as
teachers in the pilgrim-training schools of the central universe become
greatly attached to the ascending mortals and still more intrigued with the
future work and destiny of the Corps of Mortal Finaliters. On Paradise there
is maintained, at the administrative headquarters of the corps, a registry for
Havona volunteers presided over by the associate of Grandfanda. Today, you
will find millions upon millions of Havona natives upon this waiting list.
These perfect beings of direct and divine creation are of great assistance to
the Mortal Corps of Finality, and they will undoubtedly be of even greater
service in the far-distant future. They provide the viewpoint of one born in
perfection and divine repleteness. The finaliters thus embrace both phases of
experiential existence -- perfect and perfected.
31:1.2 Havona natives must achieve certain
experiential developments in liaison with evolutionary beings which will
create reception capacity for the bestowal of a fragment of the spirit of the
Universal Father. The Mortal Finaliter Corps has as permanent members only
such beings as have been fused with the spirit of the First Source and Center,
or who, like the Gravity Messengers, innately embody this spirit of God the
Father.
31:1.3 The inhabitants of the central universe are
received into the corps in the ratio of one in a thousand -- a finaliter
company. The corps is organized for temporary service in companies of one
thousand, the ascendant creatures numbering 997 to one Havona native and one
Gravity Messenger. Finaliters are thus mobilized in companies, but the
finality oath is administered individually. It is an oath of sweeping
implications and eternal import. The Havona native takes the same oath and
becomes forever attached to the corps.
31:1.4 The Havona recruits follow the company of
their assignment; wherever the group goes, they go. And you should see their
enthusiasm in the new work of the finaliters. The possibility of attaining the
Corps of the Finality is one of the superb thrills of Havona; the possibility
of becoming a finaliter is one of the supreme adventures of these perfect
races.
31:1.5 The Havona natives are also received, in the
same ratio, into the Corps of Conjoint Trinitized Finaliters on Vicegerington
and into the Corps of Transcendental Finaliters on Paradise. The Havona
citizens regard these three destinies as constituting the supreme goals of
their supernal careers, together with their possible admission to the Corps of
Havona Finaliters.
2. GRAVITY MESSENGERS
31:2.1 Wherever and whenever Gravity Messengers are
functioning, the finaliters are in command. All Gravity Messengers are under
the exclusive jurisdiction of Grandfanda, and they are assigned only to the
primary Corps of the Finality. They are invaluable to the finaliters even now,
and they will be all-serviceable in the eternal future. No other group of
intelligent creatures possesses such a personalized messenger corps able to
transcend time and space. Similar types of messenger-recorders attached to
other finaliter corps are not personalized; they are absonitized.
31:2.2 Gravity Messengers hail from Divinington, and
they are modified and personalized Adjusters, but no one of our Uversa group
will undertake to explain the nature of one of these messengers. We know they
are highly personal beings, divine, intelligent, and touchingly understanding,
but we do not comprehend their timeless technique of traversing space. They
seem to be competent to utilize any and all energies, circuits, and even
gravity. Finaliters of the mortal corps cannot defy time and space, but they
have associated with them and subject to their command all but infinite spirit
personalities who can. We presume to call Gravity Messengers personalities,
but in reality they are superspirit beings, unlimited and boundless
personalities. They are of an entirely different order of personality as
compared with Solitary Messengers.
31:2.3 Gravity Messengers may be attached to a
finaliter company in unlimited numbers, but only one messenger, the chief of
his fellows, is mustered into the Mortal Corps of the Finality. This chief
however has assigned to him a permanent staff of 999 fellow messengers, and as
occasion may require, he may call upon the reserves of the order for
assistants in unlimited numbers.
31:2.4 Gravity Messengers and glorified mortal
finaliters achieve a touching and profound affection for one another; they
have much in common: One is a direct personalization of a fragment of the
Universal Father, the other a creature personality existent in the surviving
immortal soul fused with a fragment of the same Universal Father, the spirit
Thought Adjuster.
3. GLORIFIED MORTALS
31:3.1 Ascendant Adjuster-fused mortals compose the
bulk of the primary Corps of the Finality. Together with the adopted and
glorified seraphim they usually constitute 990 in each finaliter company. The
proportion of mortals and angels in any one group varies, though the mortals
far outnumber the seraphim. The Havona natives, glorified Material Sons,
glorified midway creatures, the Gravity Messengers, and the unknown and
missing member make up only one per cent of the corps; each company of one
thousand finaliters has places for just ten of these nonmortal and nonseraphic
personalities.
31:3.2 We of Uversa do not know the "finality
destiny" of the ascendant mortals of time. At present they reside on Paradise
and temporarily serve in the Corps of Light and Life, but such a tremendous
course of ascendant training and such lengthy universe discipline must be
designed to qualify them for even greater tests of trust and more sublime
services of responsibility.
31:3.3 Notwithstanding that these ascendant mortals
have attained Paradise, have been mustered into the Corps of the Finality, and
have been sent back in large numbers to participate in the conduct of local
universes and to assist in the administration of superuniverse affairs -- in
the face of even this apparent destiny, there remains the significant
fact that they are of record as only sixth-stage spirits. There undoubtedly
remains one more step in the career of the Mortal Corps of the Finality. We do
not know the nature of that step, but we have taken cognizance of, and here
call attention to, three facts:
31:3.4 1. We know from the records that mortals are
spirits of the first order during their sojourn in the minor sectors, and that
they advance to the second order when translated to the major sectors, and to
the third when they go forward to the central training worlds of the
superuniverse. Mortals become quartan or graduate spirits after reaching the
sixth circle of Havona and become spirits of the fifth order when they find
the Universal Father. They subsequently attain the sixth stage of spirit
existence upon taking the oath that musters them forever into the eternity
assignment of the Corps of the Mortal Finality.
31:3.5 We observe that spirit classification, or
designation, has been determined by actual advancement from one realm of
universe service to another realm of universe service or from one universe to
another universe; and we surmise that the bestowal of seventh-spirit
classification upon the Mortal Corps of the Finality will be simultaneous with
their advancement to eternal assignment for service on hitherto unrecorded and
unrevealed spheres and concomitant with their attainment of God the Supreme.
But aside from these bold conjectures, we really know no more about all this
than you do; our knowledge of the mortal career does not go beyond present
Paradise destiny.
31:3.6 2. The mortal finaliters have fully complied
with the injunction of the ages, "Be you perfect"; they have ascended the
universal path of mortal attainment; they have found God, and they have been
duly inducted into the Corps of the Finality. Such beings have attained the
present limit of spirit progression but not finality of ultimate spirit
status. They have achieved the present limit of creature perfection but
not finality of creature service. They have experienced the fullness of
Deity worship but not finality of experiential Deity attainment.
31:3.7 3. The glorified mortals of the Paradise
Corps of Finality are ascendant beings in possession of experiential knowledge
of every step of the actuality and philosophy of the fullest possible life of
intelligent existence, while during the ages of this ascent from the lowest
material worlds to the spiritual heights of Paradise, these surviving
creatures have been trained to the limits of their capacity respecting every
detail of every divine principle of the just and efficient, as well as
merciful and patient, administration of all the universal creation of time and
space.
31:3.8 We deem that human beings are entitled to
share our opinions, and that you are free to conjecture with us respecting the
mystery of the ultimate destiny of the Paradise Corps of Finality. It seems
evident to us that the present assignments of the perfected evolutionary
creatures partake of the nature of postgraduate courses in universe
understanding and superuniverse administration; and we all ask, "Why should
the Gods be so concerned in so thoroughly training surviving mortals in the
technique of universe management?"
4. ADOPTED SERAPHIM
31:4.1 Many of the faithful seraphic guardians of
mortals are permitted to go through the ascendant career with their human
wards, and many of these guardian angels, after becoming Father fused, join
their subjects in taking the finaliter oath of eternity and forever accept the
destiny of their mortal associates. Angels who pass through the ascending
experience of mortal beings may share the destiny of human nature; they may
equally and eternally be mustered into this Corps of the Finality. Large
numbers of the adopted and glorified seraphim are attached to the various
nonmortal finaliter corps.
5. GLORIFIED MATERIAL SONS
31:5.1 There is provision in the universes of time
and space whereby the Adamic citizens of the local systems, when long delayed
in receiving planetary assignment, may initiate a petition for release from
permanent-citizenship status. And if granted, they join the ascending pilgrims
on the universe capitals and thence proceed onward to Paradise and the Corps
of the Finality.
31:5.2 When an advanced evolutionary world attains
the later eras of the age of light and life, the Material Sons, the Planetary
Adam and Eve, may elect to humanize, receive Adjusters, and embark upon the
evolutionary course of universe ascent leading to the Corps of Mortal
Finaliters. Certain of these Material Sons have partially failed or
technically defaulted in their mission as biologic accelerators, as Adam did
on Urantia; and then are they compelled to take the natural course of the
peoples of the realm, receive Adjusters, pass through death, and progress by
faith through the ascendant regime, subsequently attaining Paradise and the
Corps of the Finality.
31:5.3 These Material Sons are not to be found in
many finaliter companies. Their presence lends great potential to the
possibilities of high service for such a group, and they are invariably chosen
as its leaders. If both of the Edenic pair are attached to the same group,
they are usually permitted to function jointly, as one personality. Such
ascendant pairs are far more successful in the adventure of trinitizing than
are the ascendant mortals.
6. GLORIFIED MIDWAY CREATURES
31:6.1 On many planets the midway creatures are
produced in large numbers, but they seldom tarry on their native world
subsequent to its being settled in light and life. Then, or soon thereafter,
they are released from permanent-citizenship status and start on the ascension
to Paradise, passing through the morontia worlds, the superuniverse, and
Havona in company with the mortals of time and space.
31:6.2 The midway creatures from various universes
differ greatly in origin and nature, but they are all destined to one or
another of the Paradise finality corps. The secondary midwayers are all
eventually Adjuster fused and are mustered into the mortal corps. Many
finaliter companies have one of these glorified beings in their group.
7. THE EVANGELS OF LIGHT
31:7.1 At the present time every finaliter company
numbers 999 personalities of oath status, permanent members. The vacant place
is occupied by the chief of attached Evangels of Light assigned on any single
mission. But these beings are only transient members of the corps.
31:7.2 Any celestial personality assigned to the
service of any finaliter corps is denominated an Evangel of Light. These
beings do not take the finaliter oath, and though subject to the corps
organization they are not of permanent attachment. This group may embrace
Solitary Messengers, supernaphim, seconaphim, Paradise Citizens, or their
trinitized offspring -- any being required in the prosecution of a transient
finaliter assignment. Whether or not the corps is to have these beings
attached to the eternal mission, we do not know. At the conclusion of
attachment these Evangels of Light resume their former status.
31:7.3 As the Mortal Corps of the Finality is at
present constituted, there are just six classes of permanent members. The
finaliters, as might be expected, engage in much speculation as to the
identity of their future comrades, but there is little agreement among
them.
31:7.4 We of Uversa often conjecture respecting the
identity of the seventh group of finaliters. We entertain many ideas,
embracing possible assignment of some of the accumulating corps of the
numerous trinitized groups on Paradise, Vicegerington, and the inner Havona
circuit. It is even conjectured that the Corps of the Finality may be
permitted to trinitize many of their assistants in the work of universe
administration in the event they are destined to the service of universes now
in the making.
31:7.5 One of us holds the opinion that this vacant
place in the corps will be filled by some type of being of origin in the new
universe of their future service; the other inclines to the belief that this
place will be occupied by some type of Paradise personality not yet created,
eventuated, or trinitized. But we will most likely await the entrance of the
finaliters upon their seventh stage of spirit attainment before we really
know.
8. THE TRANSCENDENTALERS
31:8.1 Part of the perfected mortal's experience on
Paradise as a finaliter consists in the effort to achieve comprehension of the
nature and function of more than one thousand groups of the transcendental
supercitizens of Paradise, eventuated beings of absonite attributes. In their
association with these superpersonalities, the ascendant finaliters receive
great assistance from the helpful guidance of numerous orders of
transcendental ministers who are assigned to the task of introducing the
evolved finaliters to their new Paradise brethren. The entire order of the
Transcendentalers live in the west of Paradise in a vast area which they
exclusively occupy.
31:8.2 In the discussion of Transcendentalers we are
restricted, not only by the limitations of human comprehension, but also by
the terms of the mandate governing these disclosures concerning the
personalities of Paradise. These beings are in no way connected with the
mortal ascent to Havona. The vast host of the Paradise Transcendentalers have
nothing whatever to do with the affairs of either Havona or the seven
superuniverses, being concerned only with the superadministration of the
affairs of the master universe.
31:8.3 You, being a creature, can conceive of a
Creator, but you can hardly comprehend that there exists an enormous and
diversified aggregation of intelligent beings who are neither Creators nor
creatures. These Transcendentalers create no beings, neither were they ever
created. In speaking of their origin, in order to avoid using a new term -- an
arbitrary and meaningless designation -- we deem it best to say that
Transcendentalers simply eventuate. The Deity Absolute may well have
been concerned in their origin and may be implicated in their destiny, but
these unique beings are not now dominated by the Deity Absolute. They are
subject to God the Ultimate, and their present Paradise sojourn is in every
way Trinity supervised and directed.
31:8.4 Although all mortals who attain Paradise
frequently fraternize with the Transcendentalers as they do with the Paradise
Citizens, it develops that man's first serious contact with a Transcendentaler
occurs on that eventful occasion when, as a member of a new finaliter group,
the mortal ascender stands in the finaliter receiving circle as the Trinity
oath of eternity is administered by the chief of Transcendentalers, the
presiding head of the Architects of the Master Universe.
9. ARCHITECTS OF THE MASTER UNIVERSE
31:9.1 The Architects of the Master Universe are the
governing corps of the Paradise Transcendentalers. This governing corps
numbers 28,011 personalities possessing master minds, superb spirits, and
supernal absonites. The presiding officer of this magnificent group, the
senior Master Architect, is the co-ordinating head of all Paradise
intelligences below the level of Deity.
31:9.2 The sixteenth proscription of the mandate
authorizing these narratives says: "If deemed wise, the existence of the
Architects of the Master Universe and their associates may be disclosed, but
their origin, nature, and destiny may not be fully revealed." We may, however,
inform you that these Master Architects exist in seven levels of the absonite.
These seven groups are classified as follows:
31:9.3 1. The Paradise Level. Only the senior
or first-eventuated Architect functions on this highest level of the absonite.
This ultimate personality -- neither Creator nor creature -- eventuated in the
dawn of eternity and now functions as the exquisite co-ordinator of Paradise
and its twenty-one worlds of associated activities.
31:9.4 2. The Havona Level. The second
Architect eventuation yielded three master planners and absonite
administrators, and they have always been devoted to the co-ordination of the
one billion perfect spheres of the central universe. Paradise tradition
asserts that these three Architects, with the counsel of the pre-eventuated
senior Architect, contributed to the planning of Havona, but we really do not
know.
31:9.5 3. The Superuniverse Level. The third
absonite level embraces the seven Master Architects of the seven
superuniverses, who now, as a group, spend about equal time in the company of
the Seven Master Spirits on Paradise and with the Seven Supreme Executives on
the seven special worlds of the Infinite Spirit. They are the
superco-ordinators of the grand universe.
31:9.6 4. The Primary Space Level. This group
numbers seventy Architects, and we conjecture that they are concerned with the
ultimate plans for the first universe of outer space, now mobilizing beyond
the borders of the present seven superuniverses.
31:9.7 5. The Secondary Space Level. This
fifth corps of Architects numbers 490, and again we conjecture that they must
be concerned with the second universe of outer space, where already our
physicists have detected definite energy mobilizations.
31:9.8 6. The Tertiary Space Level. This
sixth group of Master Architects numbers 3,430, and we likewise infer that
they may be occupied with the gigantic plans for the third universe of outer
space.
31:9.9 7. The Quartan Space Level. This, the
final and largest corps, consists of 24,010 Master Architects, and if our
former conjectures are valid, it must be related to the fourth and last of the
ever-increasing-sized universes of outer space.
31:9.10 These seven groups of Master Architects
total 28,011 universe planners. On Paradise there is a tradition that far back
in eternity there was attempted the eventuation of the 28,012th Master
Architect, but that this being failed to absonitize, experiencing personality
seizure by the Universal Absolute. It is possible that the ascending series of
the Master Architects attained the limit of absonity in the 28,011th
Architect, and that the 28,012th attempt encountered the mathematical level of
the presence of the Absolute. In other words, at the 28,012th eventuation
level the quality of absonity equivalated to the level of the Universal and
attained the value of the Absolute.
31:9.11 In their functional organization the three
supervising Architects of Havona act as associate assistants to the solitary
Paradise Architect. The seven Architects of the superuniverses act as
co-ordinates of the three supervisors of Havona. The seventy planners of the
universes of the primary outer space level are at present serving as associate
assistants to the seven Architects of the seven superuniverses.
31:9.12 The Architects of the Master Universe have
at their disposal numerous groups of assistants and helpers, including two
vast orders of force organizers, the primary eventuated and the associate
transcendental. These Master Force Organizers are not to be confused with the
power directors, who are germane to the grand universe.
31:9.13 All beings produced by the union of the
children of time and eternity, such as the trinitized offspring of the
finaliters and the Paradise Citizens, become wards of the Master Architects.
But of all other creatures or entities revealed as functioning in the present
organized universes, only Solitary Messengers and Inspired Trinity Spirits
maintain any organic association with the Transcendentalers and the Architects
of the Master Universe.
31:9.14 The Master Architects contribute technical
approval of the assignment of the Creator Sons to their space sites for the
organization of the local universes. There is a very close association between
the Master Architects and the Paradise Creator Sons, and while this
relationship is unrevealed, you have been informed of the association of the
Architects and the grand universe Supreme Creators in the relationship of the
first experiential Trinity. These two groups, together with the evolving and
experiential Supreme Being, constitute the Trinity Ultimate of transcendental
values and master universe meanings.
10. THE ULTIMATE ADVENTURE
31:10.1 The senior Master Architect has the
oversight of the seven Corps of the Finality, and they are:
1. The Corps of Mortal Finaliters.
2. The Corps of Paradise Finaliters.
3. The Corps of Trinitized Finaliters.
4. The Corps of Conjoint Trinitized Finaliters.
5. The Corps of Havona Finaliters.
6. The Corps of Transcendental Finaliters.
7. The Corps of Unrevealed Sons of Destiny.
31:10.2 Each of these destiny corps has a presiding
head, and the seven constitute the Supreme Council of Destiny on Paradise; and
during the present universe age Grandfanda is the chief of this supreme body
of universe assignment for the children of ultimate destiny.
31:10.3 The gathering together of these seven
finaliter corps signifies reality mobilization of potentials, personalities,
minds, spirits, absonites, and experiential actualities that probably
transcend even the future master universe functions of the Supreme Being.
These seven finaliter corps probably signify the present activity of the
Ultimate Trinity engaged in mustering the forces of the finite and the
absonite in preparation for inconceivable developments in the universes of
outer space. Nothing like this mobilization has taken place since the near
times of eternity when the Paradise Trinity similarly mobilized the then
existing personalities of Paradise and Havona and commissioned them as
administrators and rulers of the projected seven superuniverses of time and
space. The seven finaliter corps represent the divinity response of the grand
universe to the future needs of the undeveloped potentials in the outer
universes of future-eternal activities.
31:10.4 We venture the forecast of future and
greater outer universes of inhabited worlds, new spheres peopled with new
orders of exquisite and unique beings, a material universe sublime in its
ultimacy, a vast creation lacking in only one important detail -- the presence
of actual finite experience in the universal life of ascendant
existence. Such a universe will come into being under a tremendous
experiential handicap: the deprivation of participation in the evolution of
the Almighty Supreme. These outer universes will all enjoy the matchless
ministry and supernal overcontrol of the Supreme Being, but the very fact of
his active presence precludes their participation in the actualization of the
Supreme Deity.
31:10.5 During the present universe age the evolving
personalities of the grand universe suffer many difficulties due to the
incomplete actualization of the sovereignty of God the Supreme, but we are all
sharing the unique experience of his evolution. We evolve in him and he
evolves in us. Sometime in the eternal future the evolution of Supreme Deity
will become a completed fact of universe history, and the opportunity to
participate in this wonderful experience will have passed from the stage of
cosmic action.
31:10.6 But those of us who have acquired this
unique experience during the youth of the universe will treasure it throughout
all future eternity. And many of us speculate that it may be the mission of
the gradually accumulating reserves of the ascendant and perfected mortals of
the Corps of the Finality, in association with the other six similarly
recruiting corps, to administer these outer universes in an effort to
compensate their experiential deficiencies in not having participated in the
time-space evolution of the Supreme Being.
31:10.7 These deficiencies are inevitable on all
levels of universe existence. During the present universe age we of the higher
levels of spiritual existences now come down to administer the evolutionary
universes and minister to the ascending mortals, thus endeavoring to atone for
their deficiencies in the realities of the higher spiritual
experience.
31:10.8 But though we really know nothing about the
plans of the Architects of the Master Universe respecting these outer
creations, nevertheless, of three things we are certain:
31:10.9 1. There actually is a vast and new system
of universes gradually organizing in the domains of outer space. New orders of
physical creations, enormous and gigantic circles of swarming universes upon
universes far out beyond the present bounds of the peopled and organized
creations, are actually visible through your telescopes. At present, these
outer creations are wholly physical; they are apparently uninhabited and seem
to be devoid of creature administration.
31:10.10 2. For ages upon ages there continues the
unexplained and wholly mysterious Paradise mobilization of the perfected and
ascendant beings of time and space, in association with the six other
finaliter corps.
31:10.11 3. Concomitantly with these transactions
the Supreme Person of Deity is powerizing as the almighty sovereign of the
supercreations.
31:10.12 As we view this triune development,
embracing creatures, universes, and Deity, can we be criticized for
anticipating that something new and unrevealed is approaching culmination in
the master universe? Is it not natural that we should associate this agelong
mobilization and organization of physical universes on such a hitherto unknown
scale and the personality emergence of the Supreme Being with this stupendous
scheme of upstepping the mortals of time to divine perfection and with their
subsequent mobilization on Paradise in the Corps of the Finality -- a
designation and destiny enshrouded in universe mystery? It is increasingly the
belief of all Uversa that the assembling Corps of the Finality are destined to
some future service in the universes of outer space, where we already are able
to identify the clustering of at least seventy thousand aggregations of
matter, each of which is greater than any one of the present superuniverses.
31:10.13 Evolutionary mortals are born on the
planets of space, pass through the morontia worlds, ascend the spirit
universes, traverse the Havona spheres, find God, attain Paradise, and are
mustered into the primary Corps of the Finality, therein to await the next
assignment of universe service. There are six other assembling finality corps,
but Grandfanda, the first mortal ascender, presides as Paradise chief of all
orders of finaliters. And as we view this sublime spectacle, we all exclaim:
What a glorious destiny for the animal-origin children of time, the material
sons of space!

31:10.15 These thirty-one papers depicting the
nature of Deity, the reality of Paradise, the organization and working of the
central and superuniverses, the personalities of the grand universe, and the
high destiny of evolutionary mortals, were sponsored, formulated, and put into
English by a high commission consisting of twenty-four Orvonton administrators
acting in accordance with a mandate issued by the Ancients of Days of Uversa
directing that we should do this on Urantia, 606 of Satania, in Norlatiadek of
Nebadon, in the year A.D. 1934.
