The Local Universe Sons of God

35:10.1The third group of seven worlds in the Sal­ving­ton cir­cuit of sev­enty plan­ets, with their re­spec­tive forty-two satel­lites, con­sti­tute the La­non­an­dek clus­ter of ad­min­is­tra­tive spheres. On these realms the ex­pe­ri­enced La­non­an­deks be­long­ing to the ex-Sys­tem Sov­er­eign corps of­fi­ci­ate as ad­min­is­tra­tive teach­ers of the as­cend­ing pil­grims and the se­raphic hosts. The evo­lu­tion­ary mor­tals ob­serve the sys­tem ad­min­is­tra­tors at work on the sys­tem cap­i­tals, but here they par­tic­i­pate in the ac­tual co-or­di­na­tion of the ad­min­is­tra­tive pro­nounce­ments of the ten thou­sand lo­cal sys­tems.

35:10.2These ad­min­is­tra­tive schools of the lo­cal uni­verse are super­vised by a corps of La­non­an­dek Sons who have had long ex­pe­ri­ence as Sys­tem Sov­er­eigns and as con­stel­la­tion coun­selors. These ex­ec­u­tive col­leges are ex­celled only by the ad­min­is­tra­tive schools of Ensa.

35:10.3While serv­ing as train­ing spheres for as­cend­ing mor­tals, the La­non­an­dek worlds are the cen­ters for ex­ten­sive un­der­tak­ings hav­ing to do with the nor­mal and rou­tine ad­min­is­tra­tive op­er­a­tions of the uni­verse. All the way in to Par­a­dise the as­cend­ing pil­grims pur­sue their stud­ies in the prac­ti­cal schools of ap­plied knowl­edge—ac­tual train­ing in re­ally do­ing the things they are be­ing taught. The uni­verse ed­u­ca­tional sys­tem spon­sored by the Mel­chiz­e­deks is prac­ti­cal, pro­gres­sive, mean­ing­ful, and ex­pe­ri­en­tial. It em­braces train­ing in things ma­te­rial, in­tel­lec­tual, mor­ontial, and spir­i­tual.

35:10.4It is in con­nec­tion with these ad­min­is­tra­tive spheres of the La­non­an­deks that most of the sal­vaged Sons of that or­der serve as cus­to­di­ans and di­rec­tors of plan­e­tary af­fairs. And these de­fault­ing Plan­e­tary Princes and their as­so­ciates in re­bel­lion who choose to ac­cept the prof­fered re­ha­bil­i­ta­tion will con­tinue to serve in these rou­tine ca­pac­i­ties, at least un­til the uni­verse of Neb­a­don is set­tled in light and life.

35:10.5Many of the La­non­an­dek Sons in the older sys­tems, how­ever, have es­tab­lished won­der­ful rec­ords of ser­vice, ad­min­is­tra­tion, and spir­i­tual achieve­ment. They are a no­ble, faith­ful, and loyal group, not­with­stand­ing their ten­dency to fall into er­ror through fal­la­cies of per­sonal lib­erty and fic­tions of self-de­ter­mi­na­tion.
