P432:2, 39:3.1
This versatile order of universe angels is assigned to the exclusive service
of the constellations. These able ministers make their headquarters on the
constellation capitals but function throughout all Nebadon in the interests
of their assigned realms.
P432:3, 39:3.2
1. Supervising Assistants. The first order of the supervising seraphim
are assigned to the collective work of the Constellation Fathers, and they
are the
ever-efficient helpers of the Most Highs. These seraphim are primarily
concerned with the unification and stabilization of a whole constellation.
P432:4, 39:3.3
2. Law
Forecasters. The intellectual foundation of justice is law,
and in a local universe law originates in the legislative assemblies of the
constellations. These deliberative bodies
codify and formally promulgate the
basic laws of Nebadon, laws designed to afford the greatest possible co-ordination
of a whole constellation consistent with the fixed policy of
noninfringement
of the moral free will of personal creatures. It is the duty of the second
order of supervisor seraphim to place before the constellation lawmakers a
forecast of how any proposed enactment would affect the lives of freewill
creatures. This service they are well qualified to perform by virtue of long
experience in the local systems and on the inhabited worlds. These seraphim
seek no special favors for one group or another, but they do appear before
the celestial lawmakers to speak for those who cannot be present to speak
for themselves. Even mortal man may contribute to the evolution of universe
law, for these very seraphim do faithfully and fully portray, not necessarily
man's transient and conscious desires, but rather the true longings of the
inner man, the evolving morontia soul of the material mortal on the worlds
of space.
P432:5, 39:3.4
3. Social Architects. From the individual planets up through the morontia
training worlds, these seraphim labor to enhance all sincere social contacts
and to further the social evolution of universe creatures. These are the angels
who seek to divest the associations of intelligent beings of all
artificiality
while endeavoring to facilitate the interassociation of will creatures on
a basis of real self-understanding and genuine mutual appreciation.
P432:6, 39:3.5
Social architects do everything within their province and power to bring together
suitable individuals that they may constitute efficient and agreeable working
groups on earth; and sometimes such groups have found themselves reassociated
on the mansion worlds for continued fruitful service. But not always do these
seraphim attain their ends; not always are they able to bring together those
who would form the most ideal group to achieve a given purpose or to accomplish
a certain task; under these conditions they must utilize the best of the material
available.
P432:7, 39:3.6
These angels continue their ministry on the mansion and higher morontia worlds.
They are concerned with any undertaking having to do with progress on the
morontia worlds and which concerns three or more persons. Two beings are regarded
as operating on the mating, complemental, or partnership basis, but when three
or more are grouped for service, they constitute a social problem and therefore
fall within the jurisdiction of the social architects. These efficient seraphim
are organized in seventy divisions on Edentia, and these divisions minister
on the seventy morontia progress worlds encircling the headquarters sphere.
P433:1, 39:3.7
4. Ethical
Sensitizers. It is the mission of these seraphim to foster
and to promote the growth of creature appreciation of the morality of
interpersonal
relationships, for such is the seed and secret of the continued and purposeful
growth of society and government, human or superhuman. These enhancers of
ethical appreciation function anywhere and everywhere they may be of service,
as volunteer counselors to the planetary rulers and as exchange teachers on
the system training worlds. You will not, however, come under their full guidance
until you reach the brotherhood schools on Edentia, where they will quicken
your appreciation of those very truths of fraternity which you will even then
be so earnestly exploring by the actual experience of living with the univitatia
in the social laboratories of Edentia, the seventy satellites of the Norlatiadek
capital.
P433:2, 39:3.8
5. The Transporters. The fifth group of supervisor seraphim operate
as personality transporters, carrying beings to and from the headquarters
of the constellations. Such transport seraphim, while in flight from one sphere
to another, are fully conscious of their velocity, direction, and astronomic
whereabouts. They are not traversing space as would an inanimate
projectile.
They may pass near one another during space flight without the least danger
of collision. They are fully able to vary speed of progression and to alter
direction of flight, even to change destinations if their directors should
so instruct them at any space junction of the universe intelligence circuits.
P433:3, 39:3.9
These transit personalities are so organized that they can simultaneously
utilize all three of the universally distributed lines of energy, each having
a clear space velocity of 186,280 miles per second. These transporters are
thus able to superimpose velocity of energy upon velocity of power until they
attain an average speed on their long journeys varying anywhere from 555,000
to almost 559,000 of your miles per second of your time. The velocity is affected
by the mass and proximity of neighboring matter and by the strength and direction
of the near-by main circuits of universe power. There are numerous types of
beings, similar to the seraphim, who are able to traverse space, and who also
are able to transport other beings who have been properly prepared.
P433:4, 39:3.10
6. The Recorders. The sixth order of supervising seraphim act as the
special recorders of constellation affairs. A large and efficient corps functions
on Edentia, the headquarters of the constellation of Norlatiadek, to which
your system and planet belong.
P433:5, 39:3.11
7. The Reserves. General reserves of the supervisor seraphim are held
on the headquarters of the constellations. Such angelic reservists are in
no sense inactive; many serve as messenger aids to the constellation rulers;
others are attached to the Salvington reserves of unassigned Vorondadeks;
still others may be attached to Vorondadek Sons on special assignment, such
as the Vorondadek observer, and sometimes Most High regent, of Urantia.
