Ministering Spirits of the Local Universe

38:3.1Nu­mer­ous or­ders of spirit be­ings func­tion through­out the do­mains of the lo­cal uni­verse that are un­re­vealed to mor­tals be­cause they are in no man­ner con­nected with the evo­lu­tion­ary plan of Par­a­dise as­cen­sion. In this pa­per the word “an­gel” is pur­posely lim­ited to the des­ig­na­tion of those se­raphic and as­so­ci­ated off­spring of the Uni­verse Mother Spirit who are so largely con­cerned with the op­er­a­tion of the plans of mor­tal sur­vival. There serve in the lo­cal uni­verse six other or­ders of re­lated be­ings, the un­re­vealed an­gels, who are not in any spe­cific man­ner con­nected with those uni­verse ac­tiv­i­ties per­tain­ing to the Par­a­dise as­cent of evo­lu­tion­ary mor­tals. These six groups of an­gelic as­so­ciates are never called ser­a­phim, nei­ther are they re­ferred to as min­is­ter­ing spir­its. These per­son­al­i­ties are wholly oc­cu­pied with the ad­min­is­tra­tive and other af­fairs of Neb­a­don, en­gage­ments which are in no way re­lated to man’s pro­gres­sive ca­reer of spir­i­tual as­cent and per­fec­tion at­tain­ment.
