bestowal attendants

Every paragraph the index cites under bestowal attendants, once, in the order of the book. Beside each stand the entries that cite it.

39:1.4Be­stowal At­ten­dants. Par­a­dise Avo­nals, but not Cre­ator Sons, when on a be­stowal mis­sion are al­ways ac­com­pa­nied by a corps of 144 be­stowal at­ten­dants. These 144 an­gels are the chiefs of all other Son-Spirit min­is­ters who may be as­so­ci­ated with a be­stowal mis­sion. There might pos­si­bly be le­gions of an­gels sub­ject to the com­mand of an in­car­nated Son of God on a plan­e­tary be­stowal, but all these ser­a­phim would be or­ga­nized and di­rected by the 144 be­stowal at­ten­dants. Higher or­ders of an­gels, super­na­phim and se­con­a­phim, might also form a part of the at­tend­ing host, and though their mis­sions are dis­tinct from those of the ser­a­phim, all these ac­tiv­i­ties would be co-or­di­nated by the be­stowal at­ten­dants.

39:1.5These be­stowal at­ten­dants are com­ple­tion ser­a­phim; they have all tra­versed the cir­cles of Seraph­ing­ton and have at­tained the Se­raphic Corps of Com­ple­tion. And they have been fur­ther es­pe­cially trained to meet the dif­fi­cul­ties and to cope with the emer­gen­cies as­so­ci­ated with the be­stowals of the Sons of God for the ad­vance­ment of the chil­dren of time. Such ser­a­phim have all achieved Par­a­dise and the per­sonal em­brace of the Sec­ond Source and Cen­ter, the Eter­nal Son.

39:1.6Ser­a­phim equally crave as­sign­ment to the mis­sions of the in­car­nated Sons and at­tach­ment as des­tiny guard­i­ans to the mor­tals of the realms; the lat­ter is the surest se­raphic pass­port to Par­a­dise, while the be­stowal at­ten­dants have achieved the high­est lo­cal uni­verse ser­vice of the com­ple­tion ser­a­phim of Par­a­dise at­tain­ment.
