39:4.73. In­ter­preters of Cos­mic Cit­i­zen­ship. When as­cend­ing mor­tals have com­pleted the man­sion world train­ing, the first stu­dent ap­pren­tice­ship in the uni­verse ca­reer, they are per­mit­ted to en­joy the tran­sient sat­is­fac­tions of rel­a­tive ma­tu­rity—cit­i­zen­ship on the sys­tem cap­i­tal. While the at­tain­ment of each as­cen­dant goal is a fac­tual achieve­ment, in the larger sense such goals are sim­ply mile­stones on the long as­cend­ing path to Par­a­dise. But how­ever rel­a­tive such suc­cesses may be, no evo­lu­tion­ary crea­ture is ever de­nied the full though tran­sient sat­is­fac­tion of goal at­tain­ment. Ever and anon there is a pause in the Par­a­dise as­cent, a short breath­ing spell, dur­ing which uni­verse hori­zons stand still, crea­ture sta­tus is sta­tion­ary, and the per­son­al­ity tastes the sweet­ness of goal ful­fill­ment.

39:4.8The first of such pe­ri­ods in the ca­reer of a mor­tal as­cender oc­curs on the cap­i­tal of a lo­cal sys­tem. Dur­ing this pause you will, as a cit­i­zen of Je­ru­sem, at­tempt to ex­press in crea­ture life those things which you have ac­quired dur­ing the eight pre­ced­ing life ex­pe­ri­ences—em­brac­ing Uran­tia and the seven man­sion worlds.

39:4.9The se­raphic in­ter­preters of cos­mic cit­i­zen­ship guide the new cit­i­zens of the sys­tem cap­i­tals and quicken their ap­pre­ci­a­tion of the re­spon­si­bil­i­ties of uni­verse gov­ern­ment. These ser­a­phim are also closely as­so­ci­ated with the Ma­te­rial Sons in the sys­tem ad­min­is­tra­tion, while they por­tray the re­spon­si­bil­ity and moral­ity of cos­mic cit­i­zen­ship to the ma­te­rial mor­tals on the in­hab­ited worlds.
