The Ascending Sons of God

Mighty Messenger

3. Translated Midwayers

40:3.1Al­though de­prived of the im­me­di­ate ben­e­fits of the plan­e­tary be­stowals of the de­scend­ing Sons of God, though the Par­a­dise as­cent is long de­ferred, nev­er­the­less, soon af­ter an evo­lu­tion­ary planet has at­tained the in­ter­me­di­ate epochs of light and life (if not be­fore), both groups of mid­way crea­tures are re­leased from plan­e­tary duty. Some­times the ma­jor­ity of them are trans­lated, along with their hu­man cousins, on the day of the de­scent of the tem­ple of light and the el­e­va­tion of the Plan­e­tary Prince to the dig­nity of Plan­e­tary Sov­er­eign. Upon be­ing re­lieved of plan­e­tary ser­vice, both or­ders are reg­is­tered in the lo­cal uni­verse as as­cend­ing Sons of God and im­me­di­ately be­gin the long Par­a­dise as­cent by the very routes or­dained for the pro­gres­sion of the mor­tal races of the ma­te­rial worlds. The pri­mary group are des­tined to var­i­ous fi­nal­i­ter corps, but the sec­ondary or Adamic mid­way­ers are all routed for en­roll­ment in the Mor­tal Corps of Fi­nal­ity.
