27:3.1The higher you as­cend in the scale of life, the more at­ten­tion must be paid to uni­verse ethics. Eth­i­cal aware­ness is sim­ply the rec­og­ni­tion by any in­di­vid­ual of the rights in­her­ent in the ex­is­tence of any and all other in­di­vid­u­als. But spir­i­tual ethics far tran­scends the mor­tal and even the mor­ontia con­cept of per­sonal and group re­la­tions.

27:3.2Ethics has been duly taught and ad­e­quately learned by the pil­grims of time in their long as­cent to the glo­ries of Par­a­dise. As this in­ward-as­cend­ing ca­reer has un­folded from the na­tiv­ity worlds of space, the as­cend­ers have con­tin­ued to add group af­ter group to their ever-widen­ing cir­cle of uni­verse as­so­ciates. Ev­ery new group of col­leagues met with adds one more level of ethics to be rec­og­nized and com­plied with un­til, by the time the mor­tals of as­cent reach Par­a­dise, they re­ally need some­one to pro­vide help­ful and friendly coun­sel re­gard­ing eth­i­cal in­ter­pre­ta­tions. They do not need to be taught ethics, but they do need to have what they have so la­bo­ri­ously learned prop­erly in­ter­preted to them as they are brought face to face with the ex­traor­di­nary task of con­tact­ing with so much that is new.

27:3.3The in­ter­preters of ethics are of in­es­timable as­sis­tance to the Par­a­dise ar­rivals in help­ing them to ad­just to nu­mer­ous groups of ma­jes­tic be­ings dur­ing that event­ful pe­riod ex­tend­ing from the at­tain­ment of res­i­den­tial sta­tus to for­mal in­duc­tion into the Corps of Mor­tal Fi­nal­i­ters. Many of the nu­mer­ous types of Par­a­dise Cit­i­zens the as­cen­dant pil­grims have al­ready met on the seven cir­cuits of Ha­vona. The glo­ri­fied mor­tals have also en­joyed in­ti­mate con­tact with the crea­ture-trin­i­tized sons of the con­joint corps on the in­ner Ha­vona cir­cuit, where these be­ings are re­ceiv­ing much of their ed­u­ca­tion. And on the other cir­cuits the as­cend­ing pil­grims have met nu­mer­ous un­re­vealed res­i­dents of the Par­a­dise-Ha­vona sys­tem who are there pur­su­ing group train­ing in prepa­ra­tion for the un­re­vealed as­sign­ments of the fu­ture.

27:3.4All these ce­les­tial com­pan­ion­ships are in­vari­ably mu­tual. As as­cend­ing mor­tals you not only de­rive ben­e­fit from these suc­ces­sive uni­verse com­pan­ions and such nu­mer­ous or­ders of in­creas­ingly di­vine as­so­ciates, but you also im­part to each of these fra­ter­nal be­ings some­thing from your own per­son­al­ity and ex­pe­ri­ence which for­ever makes ev­ery one of them dif­fer­ent and bet­ter for hav­ing been as­so­ci­ated with an as­cend­ing mor­tal from the evo­lu­tion­ary worlds of time and space.
