Seraphic Guardians of Destiny

113:3.1One of the most im­por­tant things a des­tiny guard­ian does for her mor­tal sub­ject is to ef­fect a per­sonal co-or­di­na­tion of the nu­mer­ous im­per­sonal spirit in­flu­ences which in­dwell, sur­round, and im­pinge upon the mind and soul of the evolv­ing ma­te­rial crea­ture. Hu­man be­ings are per­son­al­i­ties, and it is ex­ceed­ingly dif­fi­cult for non­per­sonal spir­its and preper­sonal en­ti­ties to make di­rect con­tact with such highly ma­te­rial and dis­cretely per­sonal minds. In the min­istry of the guard­ing an­gel all of these in­flu­ences are more or less uni­fied and made more nearly ap­pre­cia­ble by the ex­pand­ing moral na­ture of the evolv­ing hu­man per­son­al­ity.

113:3.2More es­pe­cially can and does this se­raphic guard­ian cor­re­late the man­i­fold agen­cies and in­flu­ences of the In­fi­nite Spirit, rang­ing from the do­mains of the phys­i­cal con­trol­lers and the ad­ju­tant mind-spir­its up to the Holy Spirit of the Di­vine Min­is­ter and to the Om­ni­pres­ent Spirit pres­ence of the Par­a­dise Third Source and Cen­ter. Hav­ing thus uni­fied and made more per­sonal these vast min­istries of the In­fi­nite Spirit, the ser­a­phim then un­der­takes to cor­re­late this in­te­grated in­flu­ence of the Con­joint Ac­tor with the spirit pres­ences of the Fa­ther and the Son.

113:3.3The Ad­juster is the pres­ence of the Fa­ther; the Spirit of Truth, the pres­ence of the Sons. These di­vine en­dow­ments are uni­fied and co-or­di­nated on the lower lev­els of hu­man spir­i­tual ex­pe­ri­ence by the min­istry of the guard­ian ser­a­phim. The an­gelic servers are gifted in com­bin­ing the love of the Fa­ther and the mercy of the Son in their min­istry to mor­tal crea­tures.

113:3.4And herein is re­vealed the rea­son why the se­raphic guard­ian even­tu­ally be­comes the per­sonal cus­to­dian of the mind pat­terns, mem­ory for­mu­las, and soul re­al­i­ties of the mor­tal sur­vivor dur­ing that in­ter­val be­tween phys­i­cal death and mor­ontia res­ur­rec­tion. None but the min­is­ter­ing chil­dren of the In­fi­nite Spirit could thus func­tion in be­half of the hu­man crea­ture dur­ing this phase of tran­si­tion from one level of the uni­verse to an­other and higher level. Even when you en­gage in your ter­mi­nal tran­si­tion slum­ber, when you pass from time to eter­nity, a high super­na­phim like­wise shares the tran­sit with you as the cus­to­dian of crea­ture iden­tity and the surety of per­sonal in­tegrity.

113:3.5On the spir­i­tual level, ser­a­phim make per­sonal many oth­er­wise im­per­sonal and preper­sonal min­istries of the uni­verse; they are co-or­di­na­tors. On the in­tel­lec­tual level they are the cor­re­la­tors of mind and mor­ontia; they are in­ter­preters. And on the phys­i­cal level they ma­nip­u­late ter­res­trial en­vi­ron­ment through their li­ai­son with the Mas­ter Phys­i­cal Con­trol­lers and through the co-op­er­a­tive min­istry of the mid­way crea­tures.

113:3.6This is a recital of the man­i­fold and in­tri­cate func­tion of an at­tend­ing ser­a­phim; but how does such a sub­or­di­nate an­gelic per­son­al­ity, cre­ated but a lit­tle above the uni­verse level of hu­man­ity, do such dif­fi­cult and com­plex things? We do not re­ally know, but we con­jec­ture that this phe­nom­e­nal min­istry is in some undis­closed man­ner fa­cil­i­tated by the un­rec­og­nized and un­re­vealed work­ing of the Su­preme Be­ing, the ac­tu­al­iz­ing De­ity of the evolv­ing uni­verses of time and space. Through­out the en­tire realm of pro­gres­sive sur­vival in and through the Su­preme Be­ing, ser­a­phim are an es­sen­tial part of con­tin­u­ing mor­tal pro­gres­sion.
