39:2.1Su­pe­rior ser­a­phim re­ceive their name, not be­cause they are in any sense qual­i­ta­tively su­pe­rior to other or­ders of an­gels, but be­cause they are in charge of the higher ac­tiv­i­ties of a lo­cal uni­verse. Very many of the first two groups of this se­raphic corps are at­tain­ment ser­a­phim, an­gels who have served in all phases of train­ing and have re­turned to a glo­ri­fied as­sign­ment as di­rec­tors of their kind in the spheres of their ear­lier ac­tiv­i­ties. Be­ing a young uni­verse, Neb­a­don does not have many of this or­der.

39:2.52. The Voice of Mercy. Mercy is the keynote of se­raphic ser­vice and an­gelic min­istry. It is there­fore fit­ting that there should be a corps of an­gels who, in a spe­cial man­ner, por­tray mercy. These ser­a­phim are the real mercy min­is­ters of the lo­cal uni­verses. They are the in­spired lead­ers who fos­ter the higher im­pulses and holier emo­tions of men and an­gels. The di­rec­tors of these le­gions are now al­ways com­ple­tion ser­a­phim who are also grad­u­ate guard­i­ans of mor­tal des­tiny; that is, each an­gelic pair has guided at least one soul of an­i­mal ori­gin dur­ing the life in the flesh and has sub­se­quently tra­versed the cir­cles of Seraph­ing­ton and has been mus­tered into the Se­raphic Corps of Com­ple­tion.

• minister to worlds in light and life

39:9.1Af­ter at­tain­ment of the Fa­ther of spir­its and ad­mis­sion to the se­raphic ser­vice of com­ple­tion, an­gels are some­times as­signed to the min­istry of worlds set­tled in light and life. They gain at­tach­ment to the high trin­i­tized be­ings of the uni­verses and to the ex­alted ser­vices of Par­a­dise and Ha­vona. These ser­a­phim of the lo­cal uni­verses have ex­pe­ri­en­tially com­pen­sated the dif­fer­en­tial in di­vin­ity po­ten­tial for­merly set­ting them apart from the min­is­ter­ing spir­its of the cen­tral and super­uni­verses. An­gels of the Se­raphic Corps of Com­ple­tion serve as as­so­ciates of the super­uni­verse se­con­a­phim and as as­sis­tants to the high Par­a­dise-Ha­vona or­ders of super­na­phim. For such an­gels the ca­reer of time is fin­ished; hence­forth and for­ever they are the ser­vants of God, the con­sorts of di­vine per­son­al­i­ties, and the peers of the Par­a­dise fi­nal­i­ters.

39:9.2Large num­bers of the com­ple­tion ser­a­phim re­turn to their na­tive uni­verses, there to com­ple­ment the min­istry of di­vine en­dow­ment by the min­istry of ex­pe­ri­en­tial per­fec­tion. Neb­a­don is, com­par­a­tively speak­ing, one of the younger uni­verses and there­fore does not have so many of these re­turned Seraph­ing­ton grad­u­ates as would be found in an older realm; nonethe­less our lo­cal uni­verse is ad­e­quately sup­plied with the com­ple­tion ser­a­phim, for it is sig­nif­i­cant that the evo­lu­tion­ary realms dis­close in­creas­ing need for their ser­vices as they near the sta­tus of light and life. Com­ple­tion ser­a­phim now serve more ex­ten­sively with the su­preme or­ders of ser­a­phim, but some serve with each of the other an­gelic or­ders. Even your world en­joys the ex­ten­sive min­istry of twelve spe­cial­ized groups of the Se­raphic Corps of Com­ple­tion; these mas­ter ser­a­phim of plan­e­tary super­vi­sion ac­com­pany each newly com­mis­sioned Plan­e­tary Prince to the in­hab­ited worlds.

• most desire service with Paradise bestowal Sons

39:9.3Many fas­ci­nat­ing av­enues of min­istry are open to the com­ple­tion ser­a­phim, but just as they all craved as­sign­ment as des­tiny guard­i­ans in the pre-Par­a­dise days, so in the post-Par­a­dise ex­pe­ri­ence they most de­sire to serve as be­stowal at­ten­dants of the in­car­nated Par­a­dise Sons. They are still su­premely de­voted to that uni­ver­sal plan of start­ing the mor­tal crea­tures of the evo­lu­tion­ary worlds out upon the long and en­tic­ing jour­ney to­wards the Par­a­dise goal of di­vin­ity and eter­nity. Through­out the whole mor­tal ad­ven­ture of find­ing God and of achiev­ing di­vine per­fec­tion, these spirit min­is­ters of se­raphic com­ple­tion, to­gether with the faith­ful min­is­ter­ing spir­its of time, are al­ways and for­ever your true friends and un­fail­ing helpers.

• achievement far transcends mortals attaining survival

40:1.2To climb to the su­per­nal heights of fi­nal­i­ter son­ship with God is a mas­terly achieve­ment for an an­gel, an ac­com­plish­ment far tran­scend­ing your at­tain­ment of eter­nal sur­vival through the plan of the Eter­nal Son and the ever-pres­ent help of the in­dwelling Ad­juster; but the guard­ian ser­a­phim, and oc­ca­sion­ally oth­ers, do ac­tu­ally ef­fect such as­cen­sions.
