Corps of Seraphic Completion

• members achieved Paradise, embrace of Eternal Son

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.

39:1.12Many of the Seraph­ing­ton grad­u­ates, mem­bers of the Se­raphic Corps of Com­ple­tion who are as­so­ci­ated with these ser­a­phim, en­gage in ex­ten­sive teach­ing in cer­tain Sal­ving­ton schools con­cerned with the prepa­ra­tion of the crea­tures of Neb­a­don for the re­la­tion­ships of the next uni­verse age.

39:8.10The grad­u­ates of Seraph­ing­ton are var­i­ously as­signed: Des­tiny guard­i­ans of Ha­vona-cir­cle ex­pe­ri­ence usu­ally en­ter the Mor­tal Fi­nal­i­ter Corps. Other guard­i­ans, hav­ing passed their Ha­vona sep­a­ra­tion tests, fre­quently re­join their mor­tal as­so­ciates on Par­a­dise, and some be­come the ev­er­last­ing as­so­ciates of the mor­tal fi­nal­i­ters, while oth­ers en­ter the var­i­ous non­mor­tal fi­nal­i­ter corps, and many are mus­tered into the Corps of Se­raphic Com­ple­tion.

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.

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.

113:7.5Some of the des­tiny guard­i­ans of at­tach­ment dur­ing the mor­tal ca­reer fol­low the course of the as­cend­ing pil­grims through Ha­vona. The oth­ers bid their long-time mor­tal as­so­ciates a tem­po­rary farewell, and then, while these mor­tals tra­verse the cir­cles of the cen­tral uni­verse, these guard­i­ans of des­tiny achieve the cir­cles of Seraph­ing­ton. And they will be in wait­ing on the shores of Par­a­dise when their mor­tal as­so­ciates awaken from the last tran­sit sleep of time into the new ex­pe­ri­ences of eter­nity. Such as­cend­ing ser­a­phim sub­se­quently en­ter upon di­ver­gent ser­vices in the fi­nal­i­ter corps and in the Se­raphic Corps of Com­ple­tion.
