The Ascending Sons of God

40:7.1The send­ing of Ad­justers, their in­dwelling, is in­deed one of the un­fath­omable mys­ter­ies of God the Fa­ther. These frag­ments of the di­vine na­ture of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther carry with them the po­ten­tial of crea­ture im­mor­tal­ity. Ad­justers are im­mor­tal spir­its, and union with them con­fers eter­nal life upon the soul of the fused mor­tal.

40:7.2Your own races of sur­viv­ing mor­tals be­long to this group of the as­cend­ing Sons of God. You are now plan­e­tary sons, evo­lu­tion­ary crea­tures de­rived from the Life Car­rier im­plan­ta­tions and mod­i­fied by the Adamic-life in­fu­sion, hardly yet as­cend­ing sons; but you are in­deed sons of as­cen­sion po­ten­tial—even to the high­est heights of glory and di­vin­ity at­tain­ment—and this spir­i­tual sta­tus of as­cend­ing son­ship you may at­tain by faith and by free­will co-op­er­a­tion with the spir­i­tu­al­iz­ing ac­tiv­i­ties of the in­dwelling Ad­juster. When you and your Ad­justers are fi­nally and for­ever fused, when you two are made one, even as in Christ Mi­chael the Son of God and the Son of Man are one, then in fact have you be­come the as­cend­ing sons of God.

40:7.3The de­tails of the Ad­juster ca­reer of in­dwelling min­istry on a pro­ba­tion­ary and evo­lu­tion­ary planet are not a part of my as­sign­ment; the elab­o­ra­tion of this great truth em­braces your whole ca­reer. I in­clude the men­tion of cer­tain Ad­juster func­tions in or­der to make a re­plete state­ment re­gard­ing Ad­juster-fused mor­tals. These in­dwelling frag­ments of God are with your or­der of be­ing from the early days of phys­i­cal ex­is­tence through all of the as­cend­ing ca­reer in Neb­a­don and Or­von­ton and on through Ha­vona to Par­a­dise it­self. There­after, in the eter­nal ad­ven­ture, this same Ad­juster is one with you and of you.

40:7.4These are the mor­tals who have been com­manded by the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther, “Be you per­fect, even as I am per­fect.” The Fa­ther has be­stowed him­self upon you, placed his own spirit within you; there­fore does he de­mand ul­ti­mate per­fec­tion of you. The nar­ra­tive of hu­man as­cent from the mor­tal spheres of time to the di­vine realms of eter­nity con­sti­tutes an in­trigu­ing recital not in­cluded in my as­sign­ment, but this su­per­nal ad­ven­ture should be the su­preme study of mor­tal man.

40:7.5Fu­sion with a frag­ment of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther is equiv­a­lent to a di­vine val­i­da­tion of even­tual Par­a­dise at­tain­ment, and such Ad­juster-fused mor­tals are the only class of hu­man be­ings who all tra­verse the Ha­vona cir­cuits and find God on Par­a­dise. To the Ad­juster-fused mor­tal the ca­reer of uni­ver­sal ser­vice is wide open. What dig­nity of des­tiny and glory of at­tain­ment await ev­ery one of you! Do you fully ap­pre­ci­ate what has been done for you? Do you com­pre­hend the grandeur of the heights of eter­nal achieve­ment which are spread out be­fore you?—even you who now trudge on in the lowly path of life through your so-called “vale of tears”?
