37:2.6The head of these super­an­gels is Gavalia, the first-born of this or­der in Neb­a­don. Since the re­turn of Christ Mi­chael from his tri­umphant be­stowal on Uran­tia, Gavalia has been as­signed to the as­cen­dant mor­tal min­istry, and for the last nine­teen hun­dred Uran­tia years his as­so­ciate, Galan­tia, has main­tained head­quar­ters on Je­ru­sem, where he spends about half of his time. Galan­tia is the first of the as­cen­dant super­an­gels to at­tain this high es­tate.

39:2.177. The Re­serves. Large re­serves of all types of the su­pe­rior ser­a­phim are held on Sal­ving­ton, in­stantly avail­able for dis­patch to the far­ther­most worlds of Neb­a­don as they are req­ui­si­tioned by the di­rec­tors of as­sign­ment or upon the re­quest of the uni­verse ad­min­is­tra­tors. The re­serves of su­pe­rior ser­a­phim also fur­nish mes­sen­ger aids upon req­ui­si­tion by the chief of the Bril­liant Evening Stars, who is in­trusted with the cus­tody and dis­patch of all per­sonal com­mu­ni­ca­tions. A lo­cal uni­verse is fully pro­vided with ad­e­quate means of in­ter­com­mu­ni­ca­tion, but there is al­ways a residue of mes­sages which re­quires dis­patch by per­sonal mes­sen­gers.

46:5.253. The cir­cles of the Uni­verse Aids have the head­quar­ters of the Evening Stars sit­u­ated in the enor­mous cen­tral space. Here is lo­cated the sys­tem head­quar­ters of Galan­tia, the as­so­ciate head of this pow­er­ful group of super­an­gels, be­ing the first com­mis­sioned of all the as­cen­dant Evening Stars. This is one of the most mag­nif­i­cent of all the ad­min­is­tra­tive sec­tors of Je­ru­sem, even though it is among the more re­cent con­struc­tions. This cen­ter is fifty miles in di­am­e­ter. The Galan­tia head­quar­ters is a mono­lithic cast crys­tal, wholly trans­par­ent. These ma­te­rial-mor­ontia crys­tals are greatly ap­pre­ci­ated by both mor­ontia and ma­te­rial be­ings. The cre­ated Evening Stars ex­ert their in­flu­ence all over Je­ru­sem, be­ing pos­sessed of such ex­trap­er­son­al­ity at­tri­butes. The en­tire world has been ren­dered spir­i­tu­ally fra­grant since so many of their ac­tiv­i­ties were trans­ferred here from Sal­ving­ton.

119:0.1Chief of the Evening Stars of Neb­a­don, I am as­signed to Uran­tia by Ga­briel on the mis­sion of re­veal­ing the story of the seven be­stowals of the Uni­verse Sov­er­eign, Mi­chael of Neb­a­don, and my name is Gavalia. In mak­ing this pre­sen­ta­tion, I will ad­here strictly to the lim­i­ta­tions im­posed by my com­mis­sion.

119:8.9This pa­per, de­pict­ing the seven be­stowals of Christ Mi­chael, is the sixty-third of a se­ries of pre­sen­ta­tions, spon­sored by nu­mer­ous per­son­al­i­ties, nar­rat­ing the his­tory of Uran­tia down to the time of Mi­chael’s ap­pear­ance on earth in the like­ness of mor­tal flesh. These pa­pers were au­tho­rized by a Neb­a­don com­mis­sion of twelve act­ing un­der the di­rec­tion of Man­tu­tia Mel­chiz­e­dek. We in­dited these nar­ra­tives and put them in the En­glish lan­guage, by a tech­nique au­tho­rized by our su­pe­ri­ors, in the year A.D. 1935 of Uran­tia time.
