instigators of rest

26:11.6Near the end of the first-cir­cle so­journ the as­cend­ing pil­grims first meet the in­sti­ga­tors of rest of the pri­mary or­der of super­na­phim. These are the an­gels of Par­a­dise com­ing out to greet those who stand at the thresh­old of eter­nity and to com­plete their prepa­ra­tion for the tran­si­tion slum­ber of the last res­ur­rec­tion. You are not re­ally a child of Par­a­dise un­til you have tra­versed the in­ner cir­cle and have ex­pe­ri­enced the res­ur­rec­tion of eter­nity from the ter­mi­nal sleep of time. The per­fected pil­grims be­gin this rest, go to sleep, on the first cir­cle of Ha­vona, but they awaken on the shores of Par­a­dise. Of all who as­cend to the eter­nal Isle, only those who thus ar­rive are the chil­dren of eter­nity; the oth­ers go as vis­i­tors, as guests with­out res­i­den­tial sta­tus.

27:0.107. In­sti­ga­tors of Rest.

27:1.1The in­sti­ga­tors of rest are the in­spec­tors of Par­a­dise who go forth from the cen­tral Isle to the in­ner cir­cuit of Ha­vona, there to col­lab­o­rate with their col­leagues, the com­ple­ments of rest of the sec­ondary or­der of super­na­phim. The one es­sen­tial to the en­joy­ment of Par­a­dise is rest, di­vine rest; and these in­sti­ga­tors of rest are the fi­nal in­struc­tors who make ready the pil­grims of time for their in­tro­duc­tion to eter­nity. They be­gin their work on the fi­nal at­tain­ment cir­cle of the cen­tral uni­verse and con­tinue it when the pil­grim awakes from the last tran­si­tion sleep, the slum­ber which grad­u­ates a crea­ture of space into the realm of the eter­nal.

27:1.2Rest is of a sev­en­fold na­ture: There is the rest of sleep and of play in the lower life or­ders, dis­cov­ery in the higher be­ings, and wor­ship in the high­est type of spirit per­son­al­ity. There is also the nor­mal rest of en­ergy in­take, the recharg­ing of be­ings with phys­i­cal or with spir­i­tual en­ergy. And then there is the tran­sit sleep, the un­con­scious slum­ber when en­ser­a­phimed, when in pas­sage from one sphere to an­other. En­tirely dif­fer­ent from all of these is the deep sleep of meta­mor­pho­sis, the tran­si­tion rest from one stage of be­ing to an­other, from one life to an­other, from one state of ex­is­tence to an­other, the sleep which ever at­tends tran­si­tion from ac­tual uni­verse sta­tus in con­trast to evo­lu­tion through var­i­ous stages of any one sta­tus.

27:1.3But the last meta­mor­phic sleep is some­thing more than those pre­vi­ous tran­si­tion slum­bers which have marked the suc­ces­sive sta­tus at­tain­ments of the as­cen­dant ca­reer; thereby do the crea­tures of time and space tra­verse the in­ner­most mar­gins of the tem­po­ral and the spa­tial to at­tain res­i­den­tial sta­tus in the time­less and space­less abodes of Par­a­dise. The in­sti­ga­tors and the com­ple­ments of rest are just as es­sen­tial to this tran­scend­ing meta­mor­pho­sis as are the ser­a­phim and as­so­ci­ated be­ings to the mor­tal crea­ture’s sur­vival of death.

27:1.4You en­ter the rest on the fi­nal Ha­vona cir­cuit and are eter­nally res­ur­rected on Par­a­dise. And as you there spir­i­tu­ally reper­son­al­ize, you will im­me­di­ately rec­og­nize the in­sti­ga­tor of rest who wel­comes you to the eter­nal shores as the very pri­mary super­na­phim who pro­duced the fi­nal sleep on the in­ner­most cir­cuit of Ha­vona; and you will re­call the last grand stretch of faith as you once again made ready to com­mend the keep­ing of your iden­tity into the hands of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther.

27:1.5The last rest of time has been en­joyed; the last tran­si­tion sleep has been ex­pe­ri­enced; now you awake to life ev­er­last­ing on the shores of the eter­nal abode. “And there shall be no more sleep. The pres­ence of God and his Son are be­fore you, and you are eter­nally his ser­vants; you have seen his face, and his name is your spirit. There shall be no night there; and they need no light of the sun, for the Great Source and Cen­ter gives them light; they shall live for­ever and ever. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nei­ther sor­row nor cry­ing, nei­ther shall there be any more pain, for the for­mer things have passed away.”
