Ministering Spirits of the Central Universe

26:9.1When the pil­grim soul at­tains the third cir­cle of Ha­vona, he comes un­der the tute­lage of the Fa­ther guides, the older, highly skilled, and most ex­pe­ri­enced of the super­aphic min­is­ters. On the worlds of this cir­cuit the Fa­ther guides main­tain schools of wis­dom and col­leges of tech­nique wherein all the be­ings in­hab­it­ing the cen­tral uni­verse serve as teach­ers. Noth­ing is ne­glected which would be of ser­vice to a crea­ture of time in this tran­scen­dent ad­ven­ture of eter­nity at­tain­ment.

26:9.2The at­tain­ment of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther is the pass­port to eter­nity, not­with­stand­ing the re­main­ing cir­cuits to be tra­versed. It is there­fore a mo­men­tous oc­ca­sion on the pi­lot world of cir­cle num­ber three when the tran­sit trio an­nounce that the last ven­ture of time is about to en­sue; that an­other crea­ture of space seeks en­try to Par­a­dise through the por­tals of eter­nity.

26:9.3The test of time is al­most over; the race for eter­nity has been all but run. The days of un­cer­tainty are end­ing; the temp­ta­tion to doubt is van­ish­ing; the in­junc­tion to be per­fect has been obeyed. From the very bot­tom of in­tel­li­gent ex­is­tence the crea­ture of time and ma­te­rial per­son­al­ity has as­cended the evo­lu­tion­ary spheres of space, thus prov­ing the fea­si­bil­ity of the as­cen­sion plan while for­ever demon­strat­ing the jus­tice and righ­teous­ness of the com­mand of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther to his lowly crea­tures of the worlds: “Be you per­fect, even as I am per­fect.”

26:9.4Step by step, life by life, world by world, the as­cen­dant ca­reer has been mas­tered, and the goal of De­ity has been at­tained. Sur­vival is com­plete in per­fec­tion, and per­fec­tion is re­plete in the su­prem­acy of di­vin­ity. Time is lost in eter­nity; space is swal­lowed up in wor­ship­ful iden­tity and har­mony with the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther. The broad­casts of Ha­vona flash forth the space re­ports of glory, the good news that in very truth the con­sci­en­tious crea­tures of an­i­mal na­ture and ma­te­rial ori­gin have, through evo­lu­tion­ary as­cen­sion, be­come in re­al­ity and eter­nally the per­fected sons of God.
