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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?"
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
