The Paradise Sons of God

20:7.1These highly per­sonal and highly spir­i­tual Par­a­dise Sons are brought into be­ing by the Par­a­dise Trin­ity. They are known in Ha­vona as the or­der of Day­nals. In Or­von­ton they are of rec­ord as Trin­ity Teacher Sons, so named be­cause of their parent­age. On Sal­ving­ton they are some­times de­nom­i­nated the Par­a­dise Spir­i­tual Sons.

20:7.2In num­bers the Teacher Sons are con­stantly in­creas­ing. The last uni­ver­sal cen­sus broad­cast gave the num­ber of these Trin­ity Sons func­tion­ing in the cen­tral and super­uni­verses as a lit­tle more than twenty-one bil­lion, and this is ex­clu­sive of the Par­a­dise re­serves, which in­clude more than one third of all Trin­ity Teacher Sons in ex­is­tence.

20:7.3The Day­nal or­der of son­ship is not an or­ganic part of the lo­cal or super­uni­verse ad­min­is­tra­tions. Its mem­bers are nei­ther cre­ators nor re­triev­ers, nei­ther judges nor rulers. They are not so much con­cerned with uni­verse ad­min­is­tra­tion as with moral en­light­en­ment and spir­i­tual de­vel­op­ment. They are the uni­ver­sal ed­u­ca­tors, be­ing ded­i­cated to the spir­i­tual awak­en­ing and moral guid­ance of all realms. Their min­istry is in­ti­mately in­ter­re­lated with that of the per­son­al­i­ties of the In­fi­nite Spirit and is closely as­so­ci­ated with the Par­a­dise as­cen­sion of crea­ture be­ings.

20:7.4These Sons of the Trin­ity par­take of the com­bined na­tures of the three Par­a­dise De­i­ties, but in Ha­vona they seem more to re­flect the na­ture of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther. In the super­uni­verses they seem to por­tray the na­ture of the Eter­nal Son, while in the lo­cal cre­ations they ap­pear to show forth the char­ac­ter of the In­fi­nite Spirit. In all uni­verses they are the em­bod­i­ment of ser­vice and the dis­cre­tion of wis­dom.

20:7.5Un­like their Par­a­dise breth­ren, Mi­cha­els and Avo­nals, Trin­ity Teacher Sons re­ceive no pre­lim­i­nary train­ing in the cen­tral uni­verse. They are dis­patched di­rectly to the head­quar­ters of the super­uni­verses and from there are com­mis­sioned for ser­vice in some lo­cal uni­verse. In their min­istry to these evo­lu­tion­ary realms they uti­lize the com­bined spir­i­tual in­flu­ence of a Cre­ator Son and the as­so­ci­ated Mag­is­te­rial Sons, for the Day­nals do not pos­sess a spir­i­tual draw­ing power in and of them­selves.
