discern both spirit and material worlds 1 paragraph

44:0.17There are cer­tain types of be­ings who are ca­pa­ble of dis­cern­ing the re­al­ity of the crea­tures of both the spirit and the ma­te­rial worlds. Be­long­ing to this class are the so-called fourth crea­tures of the Ha­vona Servi­tals and the fourth crea­tures of the con­cil­ia­tors. The an­gels of time and space are en­dowed with the abil­ity to dis­cern both spirit and ma­te­rial be­ings as also are the as­cend­ing mor­tals sub­se­quent to de­liv­er­ance from the life in the flesh. Af­ter at­tain­ment of the higher spirit lev­els the as­cend­ers are able to rec­og­nize ma­te­rial, mor­ontia, and spirit re­al­i­ties.

25:1.3The num­ber of servi­tals is prodi­gious, and more are be­ing cre­ated all the time. They ap­pear in groups of one thou­sand on the third mo­ment fol­low­ing the as­sem­bly of the Mas­ter Spir­its and the Su­preme Power Di­rec­tors at their joint area in the far northerly sec­tor of Par­a­dise. Ev­ery fourth servi­tal is more phys­i­cal in type than the oth­ers; that is, out of each thou­sand, seven hun­dred and fifty are ap­par­ently true to spirit type, but two hun­dred and fifty are semi­phys­i­cal in na­ture. These fourth crea­tures are some­what on the or­der of ma­te­rial be­ings (ma­te­rial in the Ha­vona sense), re­sem­bling the phys­i­cal power di­rec­tors more than the Mas­ter Spir­its.

38:7.6Cheru­bim and sa­no­bim are by na­ture very near the mor­ontia level of ex­is­tence, and they prove to be most ef­fi­cient in the bor­der­land work of the phys­i­cal, mor­ontial, and spir­i­tual do­mains. These chil­dren of the lo­cal uni­verse Mother Spirit are char­ac­ter­ized by “fourth crea­tures” much as are the Ha­vona Servi­tals and the con­cil­i­at­ing com­mis­sions. Ev­ery fourth cheru­bim and ev­ery fourth sa­no­bim are quasi-ma­te­rial, very def­i­nitely re­sem­bling the mor­ontia level of ex­is­tence.
