77:7.5On no world can evil spir­its pos­sess any mor­tal mind sub­se­quent to the life of a Par­a­dise be­stowal Son. But be­fore the days of Christ Mi­chael on Uran­tia—be­fore the uni­ver­sal com­ing of the Thought Ad­justers and the pour­ing out of the Mas­ter’s spirit upon all flesh—these rebel mid­way­ers were ac­tu­ally able to in­flu­ence the minds of cer­tain in­fe­rior mor­tals and some­what to con­trol their ac­tions. This was ac­com­plished in much the same way as the loyal mid­way crea­tures func­tion when they serve as ef­fi­cient con­tact guard­i­ans of the hu­man minds of the Uran­tia re­serve corps of des­tiny at those times when the Ad­juster is, in ef­fect, de­tached from the per­son­al­ity dur­ing a sea­son of con­tact with super­hu­man in­tel­li­gences.

77:8.83. Con­tact per­son­al­i­ties. In the con­tacts made with the mor­tal be­ings of the ma­te­rial worlds, such as with the sub­ject through whom these com­mu­ni­ca­tions were trans­mit­ted, the mid­way crea­tures are al­ways em­ployed. They are an es­sen­tial fac­tor in such li­aisons of the spir­i­tual and the ma­te­rial lev­els.

114:7.8The twelve groups of Uran­tia des­tiny re­servists are com­posed of mor­tal in­hab­i­tants of the sphere who have been re­hearsed for nu­mer­ous cru­cial po­si­tions on earth and are held in readi­ness to act in pos­si­ble plan­e­tary emer­gen­cies. This com­bined corps now con­sists of 962 per­sons. The small­est corps num­bers 41 and the largest 172. With the ex­cep­tion of less than a score of con­tact per­son­al­i­ties, the mem­bers of this unique group are wholly un­con­scious of their prepa­ra­tion for pos­si­ble func­tion in cer­tain plan­e­tary crises. These mor­tal re­servists are cho­sen by the corps to which they are re­spec­tively at­tached and are like­wise trained and re­hearsed in the deep mind by the com­bined tech­nique of Thought Ad­juster and se­raphic guard­ian min­istry. Many times nu­mer­ous other ce­les­tial per­son­al­i­ties par­tic­i­pate in this un­con­scious train­ing, and in all this spe­cial prepa­ra­tion the mid­way­ers per­form valu­able and in­dis­pens­able ser­vices.
