17:6.42. Pre­lim­i­nary Cre­ator­ship Train­ing. Dur­ing the long pe­riod of the pre­lim­i­nary train­ing of a Mi­chael Son in the or­ga­ni­za­tion and ad­min­is­tra­tion of uni­verses, his fu­ture con­sort un­der­goes fur­ther de­vel­op­ment of en­tity and be­comes group con­scious of des­tiny. We do not know, but we sus­pect that such a group-con­scious en­tity be­comes space cog­nizant and be­gins that pre­lim­i­nary train­ing req­ui­site to the ac­quire­ment of spirit skill in her fu­ture work of col­lab­o­ra­tion with the com­ple­men­tal Mi­chael in uni­verse cre­ation and ad­min­is­tra­tion.

32:3.12In the uni­verses en­cir­cling Ha­vona there are pro­vided only a suf­fi­cient num­ber of per­fect crea­tures to meet the need for pat­tern teacher guides for those who are as­cend­ing the evo­lu­tion­ary scale of life. The ex­pe­ri­en­tial na­ture of the evo­lu­tion­ary type of per­son­al­ity is the nat­u­ral cos­mic com­ple­ment of the ever-per­fect na­tures of the Par­a­dise-Ha­vona crea­tures. In re­al­ity, both per­fect and per­fected crea­tures are in­com­plete as re­gards fi­nite to­tal­ity. But in the com­ple­men­tal as­so­ci­a­tion of the ex­is­ten­tially per­fect crea­tures of the Par­a­dise-Ha­vona sys­tem with the ex­pe­ri­en­tially per­fected fi­nal­i­ters as­cend­ing from the evo­lu­tion­ary uni­verses, both types find re­lease from in­her­ent lim­i­ta­tions and thus may con­jointly at­tempt to reach the sub­lime heights of the ul­ti­mate of crea­ture sta­tus.

26:1.16Super­na­phim are lim­ited in “spirit po­lar­ity” re­gard­ing only one phase of ac­tion, that with the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther. They can work singly ex­cept when di­rectly em­ploy­ing the ex­clu­sive cir­cuits of the Fa­ther. When they are in power re­cep­tion on the Fa­ther’s di­rect min­istry, super­na­phim must vol­un­tar­ily as­so­ciate in pairs to be able to func­tion. Se­con­a­phim are like­wise lim­ited and in ad­di­tion must work in pairs in or­der to syn­chro­nize with the cir­cuits of the Eter­nal Son. Ser­a­phim can work singly as dis­crete and lo­cal­ized per­son­al­i­ties, but they are able to en­cir­cuit only when po­lar­ized as li­ai­son pairs. When such spirit be­ings are as­so­ci­ated as pairs, the one is spo­ken of as com­ple­men­tal to the other. Com­ple­men­tal re­la­tion­ships may be tran­sient; they are not nec­es­sar­ily of a per­ma­nent na­ture.
