The Ascending Sons of God

40:2.1The Ma­te­rial Sons of God are cre­ated in the lo­cal uni­verse along with the Mel­chiz­e­deks and their as­so­ciates, who are all clas­si­fied as de­scend­ing Sons. And in­deed, the Plan­e­tary Adams—the Ma­te­rial Sons and Daugh­ters of the evo­lu­tion­ary worlds—are de­scend­ing Sons, com­ing down to the in­hab­ited worlds from their spheres of ori­gin, the cap­i­tals of the lo­cal sys­tems.

40:2.2When such an Adam and Eve are wholly suc­cess­ful in their joint plan­e­tary mis­sion as bi­o­logic up­lifters, they share the des­tiny of the in­hab­i­tants of their world. When such a world is set­tled in the ad­vanced stages of light and life, this faith­ful Ma­te­rial Son and Daugh­ter are per­mit­ted to re­sign all plan­e­tary ad­min­is­tra­tive du­ties, and af­ter be­ing thus lib­er­ated from the de­scend­ing ad­ven­ture, they are per­mit­ted to reg­is­ter them­selves as per­fected Ma­te­rial Sons on the rec­ords of the lo­cal uni­verse. Like­wise, when plan­e­tary as­sign­ment is long de­layed, may the Ma­te­rial Sons of sta­tion­ary sta­tus—the cit­i­zens of the lo­cal sys­tems—with­draw from the ac­tiv­i­ties of their sta­tus spheres and sim­i­larly reg­is­ter as per­fected Ma­te­rial Sons. Af­ter these for­mal­i­ties such lib­er­ated Adams and Eves are ac­cred­ited as as­cend­ing Sons of God and may im­me­di­ately be­gin the long jour­ney to Ha­vona and Par­a­dise, start­ing at the ex­act point of their then pres­ent sta­tus and spir­i­tual at­tain­ment. And they make this jour­ney in com­pany with the mor­tal and other as­cend­ing Sons, con­tin­u­ing un­til they have found God and have achieved the Corps of Mor­tal Fi­nal­ity in the eter­nal ser­vice of the Par­a­dise De­i­ties.
