The Corps of the Finality

31:5.1There is pro­vi­sion in the uni­verses of time and space whereby the Adamic cit­i­zens of the lo­cal sys­tems, when long de­layed in re­ceiv­ing plan­e­tary as­sign­ment, may ini­ti­ate a pe­ti­tion for re­lease from per­ma­nent-cit­i­zen­ship sta­tus. And if granted, they join the as­cend­ing pil­grims on the uni­verse cap­i­tals and thence pro­ceed on­ward to Par­a­dise and the Corps of the Fi­nal­ity.

31:5.2When an ad­vanced evo­lu­tion­ary world at­tains the later eras of the age of light and life, the Ma­te­rial Sons, the Plan­e­tary Adam and Eve, may elect to hu­man­ize, re­ceive Ad­justers, and em­bark upon the evo­lu­tion­ary course of uni­verse as­cent lead­ing to the Corps of Mor­tal Fi­nal­i­ters. Cer­tain of these Ma­te­rial Sons have par­tially failed or tech­ni­cally de­faulted in their mis­sion as bi­o­logic ac­cel­er­a­tors, as Adam did on Uran­tia; and then are they com­pelled to take the nat­u­ral course of the peo­ples of the realm, re­ceive Ad­justers, pass through death, and pro­gress by faith through the as­cen­dant regime, sub­se­quently at­tain­ing Par­a­dise and the Corps of the Fi­nal­ity.

31:5.3These Ma­te­rial Sons are not to be found in many fi­nal­i­ter com­pa­nies. Their pres­ence lends great po­ten­tial to the pos­si­bil­i­ties of high ser­vice for such a group, and they are in­vari­ably cho­sen as its lead­ers. If both of the Edenic pair are at­tached to the same group, they are usu­ally per­mit­ted to func­tion jointly, as one per­son­al­ity. Such as­cen­dant pairs are far more suc­cess­ful in the ad­ven­ture of trini­tiz­ing than are the as­cen­dant mor­tals.
