The Paradise Sons of God

20:8.1The Par­a­dise Spir­i­tual Sons are unique Trin­ity-ori­gin be­ings and the only Trin­ity crea­tures to be so com­pletely as­so­ci­ated with the con­duct of the dual-ori­gin uni­verses. They are af­fec­tion­ately de­voted to the ed­u­ca­tional min­istry to mor­tal crea­tures and the lower or­ders of spir­i­tual be­ings. They be­gin their labors in the lo­cal sys­tems and, in ac­cor­dance with ex­pe­ri­ence and achieve­ment, are ad­vanced in­ward through the con­stel­la­tion ser­vice to the high­est work of the lo­cal cre­ation. Upon cer­ti­fi­ca­tion they may be­come spir­i­tual am­bas­sadors rep­re­sent­ing the lo­cal uni­verses of their ser­vice.

20:8.2The ex­act num­ber of Teacher Sons in Neb­a­don I do not know; there are many thou­sands of them. Many of the heads of de­part­ments in the Mel­chiz­e­dek schools be­long to this or­der, while the com­bined staff of the reg­u­larly con­sti­tuted Uni­ver­sity of Sal­ving­ton em­braces over one hun­dred thou­sand in­clud­ing these Sons. Large num­bers are sta­tioned on the var­i­ous mor­ontia-train­ing worlds, but they are not wholly oc­cu­pied with the spir­i­tual and in­tel­lec­tual ad­vance­ment of mor­tal crea­tures; they are equally con­cerned with the in­struc­tion of se­raphic be­ings and other na­tives of the lo­cal cre­ations. Many of their as­sis­tants are drawn from the ranks of the crea­ture-trin­i­tized be­ings.

20:8.3The Teacher Sons com­pose the fac­ul­ties who ad­min­is­ter all ex­am­i­na­tions and con­duct all tests for the qual­i­fi­ca­tion and cer­ti­fi­ca­tion of all sub­or­di­nate phases of uni­verse ser­vice, from the du­ties of out­post sen­tinels to those of star stu­dents. They con­duct an age­long course of train­ing, rang­ing from the plan­e­tary courses up to the high Col­lege of Wis­dom lo­cated on Sal­ving­ton. Rec­og­ni­tion in­dica­tive of ef­fort and at­tain­ment is granted to all, as­cend­ing mor­tal or am­bi­tious cheru­bim, who com­plete these ad­ven­tures in wis­dom and truth.

20:8.4In all uni­verses all the Sons of God are be­holden to these ever-faith­ful and uni­ver­sally ef­fi­cient Trin­ity Teacher Sons. They are the ex­alted teach­ers of all spirit per­son­al­i­ties, even the tried and true teach­ers of the Sons of God them­selves. But of the end­less de­tails of the du­ties and func­tions of the Teacher Sons I can hardly in­struct you. The vast do­main of Day­nal-son­ship ac­tiv­i­ties will be bet­ter un­der­stood on Uran­tia when you are more ad­vanced in in­tel­li­gence, and af­ter the spir­i­tual iso­la­tion of your planet has been ter­mi­nated.
