Seraphic Guardians of Destiny

113:6.1Hav­ing told you some­thing of the min­istry of ser­a­phim dur­ing nat­u­ral life, I will en­deavor to in­form you about the con­duct of the guard­i­ans of des­tiny at the time of the mor­tal dis­so­lu­tion of their hu­man as­so­ciates. Upon your death, your rec­ords, iden­tity spec­i­fi­ca­tions, and the mor­ontia en­tity of the hu­man soul—con­jointly evolved by the min­istry of mor­tal mind and the di­vine Ad­juster—are faith­fully con­served by the des­tiny guard­ian to­gether with all other val­ues re­lated to your fu­ture ex­is­tence, ev­ery­thing that con­sti­tutes you, the real you, ex­cept the iden­tity of con­tin­u­ing ex­is­tence rep­re­sented by the de­part­ing Ad­juster and the ac­tu­al­ity of per­son­al­ity.

113:6.2The in­stant the pi­lot light in the hu­man mind dis­ap­pears, the spirit lu­mi­nos­ity which ser­a­phim as­so­ciate with the pres­ence of the Ad­juster, the at­tend­ing an­gel re­ports in per­son to the com­mand­ing an­gels, suc­ces­sively, of the group, com­pany, bat­tal­ion, unit, le­gion, and host; and af­ter be­ing duly reg­is­tered for the fi­nal ad­ven­ture of time and space, such an an­gel re­ceives cer­ti­fi­ca­tion by the plan­e­tary chief of ser­a­phim for re­port­ing to the Evening Star (or other lieu­tenant of Ga­briel) in com­mand of the se­raphic army of this can­di­date for uni­verse as­cen­sion. And upon be­ing granted per­mis­sion from the com­man­der of this high­est or­ga­ni­za­tional unit, such a guard­ian of des­tiny pro­ceeds to the first man­sion world and there awaits the con­sciou­siz­ing of her for­mer ward in the flesh.

113:6.3In case the hu­man soul fails of sur­vival af­ter hav­ing re­ceived the as­sign­ment of a per­sonal an­gel, the at­tend­ing ser­a­phim must pro­ceed to the head­quar­ters of the lo­cal uni­verse, there to wit­ness to the com­plete rec­ords of her com­ple­ment as pre­vi­ously re­ported. Next she goes be­fore the tri­bu­nals of the arch­an­gels, to be ab­solved from blame in the mat­ter of the sur­vival fail­ure of her sub­ject; and then she goes back to the worlds, again to be as­signed to an­other mor­tal of as­cend­ing po­ten­tial­ity or to some other di­vi­sion of se­raphic min­istry.

113:6.4But an­gels min­is­ter to evo­lu­tion­ary crea­tures in many ways aside from the ser­vices of per­sonal and group guardian­ship. Per­sonal guard­i­ans whose sub­jects do not go im­me­di­ately to the man­sion worlds do not tarry there in idle­ness await­ing the dis­pen­sa­tional roll calls of judg­ment; they are re­as­signed to nu­mer­ous min­is­ter­ing mis­sions through­out the uni­verse.

113:6.5The guard­ian ser­a­phim is the cus­to­dial trus­tee of the sur­vival val­ues of mor­tal man’s slum­ber­ing soul as the ab­sent Ad­juster is the iden­tity of such an im­mor­tal uni­verse be­ing. When these two col­lab­o­rate in the res­ur­rec­tion halls of man­so­nia in con­junc­tion with the newly fab­ri­cated mor­ontia form, there oc­curs the re­assem­bly of the con­stituent fac­tors of the per­son­al­ity of the mor­tal as­cender.

113:6.6The Ad­juster will iden­tify you; the guard­ian ser­a­phim will reper­son­al­ize you and then re-pres­ent you to the faith­ful Mon­i­tor of your earth days.

113:6.7And even so, when a plan­e­tary age ends, when those in the lower cir­cles of mor­tal achieve­ment are for­gath­ered, it is their group guard­i­ans who re­assem­ble them in the res­ur­rec­tion halls of the man­sion spheres, even as your rec­ord tells: “And he shall send his an­gels with a great voice and shall gather to­gether his elect from one end of the realm to an­other.”

113:6.8The tech­nique of jus­tice de­mands that per­sonal or group guard­i­ans shall re­spond to the dis­pen­sa­tional roll call in be­half of all non­sur­viv­ing per­son­al­i­ties. The Ad­justers of such non­sur­vivors do not re­turn, and when the rolls are called, the ser­a­phim re­spond, but the Ad­justers make no an­swer. This con­sti­tutes the “res­ur­rec­tion of the un­just,” in re­al­ity the for­mal rec­og­ni­tion of the ces­sa­tion of crea­ture ex­is­tence. This roll call of jus­tice al­ways im­me­di­ately fol­lows the roll call of mercy, the res­ur­rec­tion of the sleep­ing sur­vivors. But these are mat­ters which are of con­cern to none but the su­preme and all-know­ing Judges of sur­vival val­ues. Such prob­lems of ad­ju­di­ca­tion do not re­ally con­cern us.

113:6.9Group guard­i­ans may serve on a planet age af­ter age and even­tu­ally be­come cus­to­di­ans of the slum­ber­ing souls of thou­sands upon thou­sands of sleep­ing sur­vivors. They can so serve on many dif­fer­ent worlds in a given sys­tem since the res­ur­rec­tion re­sponse oc­curs on the man­sion worlds.

113:6.10All per­sonal and group guard­i­ans in the sys­tem of Sa­ta­nia who went astray in the Lu­cifer re­bel­lion, not­with­stand­ing that many sin­cerely re­pented of their folly, are to be de­tained on Je­ru­sem un­til the fi­nal ad­ju­di­ca­tion of the re­bel­lion. Al­ready have the Uni­ver­sal Cen­sors ar­bi­trar­ily taken from these dis­obe­di­ent and un­faith­ful guard­i­ans all as­pects of their soul trusts and lodged these mor­ontia re­al­i­ties for safe­keep­ing in the cus­tody of vol­un­teer se­con­a­phim.
