Paper 25

The Messenger Hosts of Space

One High in Authority

7. The Morontia Companions

25:7.1These chil­dren of the lo­cal uni­verse Mother Spir­its are the friends and as­so­ciates of all who live the as­cend­ing mor­ontia life. They are not in­dis­pens­able to an as­cender’s real work of crea­ture pro­gres­sion, nei­ther do they in any sense dis­place the work of the se­raphic guard­i­ans who of­ten ac­com­pany their mor­tal as­so­ciates on the Par­adise jour­ney. The Mor­ontia Com­pan­ions are sim­ply gra­cious hosts to those who are just be­gin­ning the long in­ward as­cent. They are also skill­ful play spon­sors and are ably as­sisted in this work by the re­ver­sion di­rec­tors.

25:7.2Though you will have earnest and pro­gres­sively dif­fi­cult tasks to per­form on the mor­ontia train­ing worlds of Neb­a­don, you will al­ways be pro­vided with reg­u­lar sea­sons of rest and re­ver­sion. Through­out the jour­ney to Par­a­dise there will al­ways be time for rest and spirit play; and in the ca­reer of light and life there is al­ways time for wor­ship and new achieve­ment.

25:7.3These Mor­ontia Com­pan­ions are such friendly as­so­ciates that, when you fi­nally leave the last phase of the mor­ontia ex­pe­ri­ence, as you pre­pare to em­bark upon the super­uni­verse spirit ad­ven­ture, you will truly re­gret that these com­pan­ion­able crea­tures can­not ac­com­pany you, but they serve ex­clu­sively in the lo­cal uni­verses. At ev­ery stage of the as­cend­ing ca­reer all con­tactable per­son­al­i­ties will be friendly and com­pan­ion­able, but not un­til you meet the Par­a­dise Com­pan­ions will you find an­other group so de­voted to friend­ship and com­pan­ion­ship.

25:7.4The work of the Mor­ontia Com­pan­ions is more fully de­picted in those nar­ra­tives deal­ing with the af­fairs of your lo­cal uni­verse.
