37:7.1The Man­sion World Teach­ers are re­cruited and glo­ri­fied cheru­bim. Like most other in­struc­tors in Neb­a­don they are com­mis­sioned by the Mel­chiz­e­deks. They func­tion in most of the ed­u­ca­tional en­ter­prises of the mor­ontia life, and their num­ber is quite be­yond the com­pre­hen­sion of mor­tal mind.

37:7.2As an at­tain­ment level of cheru­bim and sa­no­bim, the Man­sion World Teach­ers will re­ceive fur­ther con­sid­er­a­tion in the next pa­per, while as teach­ers play­ing an im­por­tant part in the mor­ontia life, they will be more ex­ten­sively dis­cussed in the pa­per of that name.

48:5.1The Man­sion World Teach­ers are a corps of de­serted but glo­ri­fied cheru­bim and sa­no­bim. When a pil­grim of time ad­vances from a trial world of space to the man­sion and as­so­ci­ated worlds of mor­ontia train­ing, he is ac­com­pa­nied by his per­sonal or group ser­a­phim, the guard­ian of des­tiny. In the worlds of mor­tal ex­is­tence the ser­a­phim is ably as­sisted by cheru­bim and sa­no­bim; but when her mor­tal ward is de­liv­ered from the bonds of the flesh and starts out on the as­cen­dant ca­reer, when the post­ma­te­rial or mor­ontia life be­gins, the at­tend­ing ser­a­phim has no fur­ther need of the min­is­tra­tions of her for­mer lieu­tenants, the cheru­bim and sa­no­bim.

48:5.2These de­serted as­sis­tants of the min­is­ter­ing ser­a­phim are of­ten sum­moned to uni­verse head­quar­ters, where they pass into the in­ti­mate em­brace of the Uni­verse Mother Spirit and then go forth to the sys­tem train­ing spheres as Man­sion World Teach­ers. These teach­ers of­ten visit the ma­te­rial worlds and func­tion from the low­est man­sion worlds on up to the high­est of the ed­u­ca­tional spheres con­nected with the uni­verse head­quar­ters. Upon their own mo­tion they may re­turn to their for­mer as­so­cia­tive work with the min­is­ter­ing ser­a­phim.

48:5.3There are bil­lions upon bil­lions of these teach­ers in Sa­ta­nia, and their num­bers con­stantly in­crease be­cause, in the ma­jor­ity of in­stances, when a ser­a­phim pro­ceeds in­ward with an Ad­juster-fused mor­tal, both a cheru­bim and a sa­no­bim are left be­hind.

48:5.4Man­sion World Teach­ers, like most of the other in­struc­tors, are com­mis­sioned by the Mel­chiz­e­deks. They are gen­er­ally super­vised by the Mor­ontia Com­pan­ions, but as in­di­vid­u­als and as teach­ers they are super­vised by the act­ing heads of the schools or spheres wherein they may be func­tion­ing as in­struc­tors.

48:5.5These ad­vanced cheru­bim usu­ally work in pairs as they did when at­tached to the ser­a­phim. They are by na­ture very near the mor­ontia type of ex­is­tence, and they are in­her­ently sym­pa­thetic teach­ers of the as­cend­ing mor­tals and most ef­fi­ciently con­duct the pro­gram of the man­sion world and mor­ontia ed­u­ca­tional sys­tem.

48:5.6In the schools of the mor­ontia life these teach­ers en­gage in in­di­vid­ual, group, class, and mass teach­ing. On the man­sion worlds such schools are or­ga­nized in three gen­eral groups of one hun­dred di­vi­sions each: the schools of think­ing, the schools of feel­ing, and the schools of do­ing. When you reach the con­stel­la­tion, there are added the schools of ethics, the schools of ad­min­is­tra­tion, and the schools of so­cial ad­just­ment. On the uni­verse head­quar­ters worlds you will en­ter the schools of phi­los­o­phy, di­vin­ity, and pure spir­i­tu­al­ity.

48:5.7Those things which you might have learned on earth, but which you failed to learn, must be ac­quired un­der the tute­lage of these faith­ful and pa­tient teach­ers. There are no royal roads, short cuts, or easy paths to Par­a­dise. Ir­re­spec­tive of the in­di­vid­ual vari­a­tions of the route, you mas­ter the lessons of one sphere be­fore you pro­ceed to an­other; at least this is true af­ter you once leave the world of your na­tiv­ity.

48:5.8One of the pur­poses of the mor­ontia ca­reer is to ef­fect the per­ma­nent erad­i­ca­tion from the mor­tal sur­vivors of such an­i­mal ves­ti­gial traits as pro­cras­ti­na­tion, equiv­o­ca­tion, in­sin­cer­ity, prob­lem avoid­ance, un­fair­ness, and ease seek­ing. The man­so­nia life early teaches the young mor­ontia pupils that post­pone­ment is in no sense avoid­ance. Af­ter the life in the flesh, time is no longer avail­able as a tech­nique of dodg­ing sit­u­a­tions or of cir­cum­vent­ing dis­agree­able obli­ga­tions.

48:5.9Be­gin­ning ser­vice on the low­est of the tar­ry­ing spheres, the Man­sion World Teach­ers ad­vance, with ex­pe­ri­ence, through the ed­u­ca­tional spheres of the sys­tem and the con­stel­la­tion to the train­ing worlds of Sal­ving­ton. They are sub­jected to no spe­cial dis­ci­pline ei­ther be­fore or af­ter their em­brace by the Uni­verse Mother Spirit. They have al­ready been trained for their work while serv­ing as se­raphic as­so­ciates on the worlds na­tive to their pupils of man­sion world so­journ. They have had ac­tual ex­pe­ri­ence with these ad­vanc­ing mor­tals on the in­hab­ited worlds. They are prac­ti­cal and sym­pa­thetic teach­ers, wise and un­der­stand­ing in­struc­tors, able and ef­fi­cient guides. They are en­tirely fa­mil­iar with the as­cen­dant plans and thor­oughly ex­pe­ri­enced in the ini­tial phases of the pro­gres­sion ca­reer.

48:5.10Many of the older of these teach­ers, those who have long served on the worlds of the Sal­ving­ton cir­cuit, are re-em­braced by the Uni­verse Mother Spirit, and from this sec­ond em­brace these cheru­bim and sa­no­bim emerge with the sta­tus of ser­a­phim.

47:2.2It is these same de­serted cheru­bim who, as Man­sion World Teach­ers, un­der the super­vi­sion of the Mel­chiz­e­deks, main­tain such ex­ten­sive ed­u­ca­tional fa­cil­i­ties for the train­ing of the pro­ba­tion­ary wards of the fi­nal­i­ters. These wards of the fi­nal­i­ters, these in­fants of as­cend­ing mor­tals, are al­ways per­son­al­ized as of their ex­act phys­i­cal sta­tus at the time of death ex­cept for re­pro­duc­tive po­ten­tial. This awak­en­ing oc­curs at the ex­act time of the pa­ren­tal ar­rival on the first man­sion world. And then are these chil­dren given ev­ery op­por­tu­nity, as they are, to choose the heav­enly way just as they would have made such a choice on the worlds where death so un­timely ter­mi­nated their ca­reers.

38:8.5While the sec­ond and third groups are some­what lim­ited in growth po­ten­tial, the as­cen­sion can­di­dates may at­tain the heights of uni­ver­sal se­raphic ser­vice. Many of the more ex­pe­ri­enced of these cheru­bim are at­tached to the se­raphic guard­i­ans of des­tiny and are thus placed in di­rect line for ad­vance­ment to the sta­tus of Man­sion World Teach­ers when de­serted by their se­raphic se­niors. Guard­i­ans of des­tiny do not have cheru­bim and sa­no­bim as helpers when their mor­tal wards at­tain the mor­ontia life. And when other types of evo­lu­tion­ary ser­a­phim are granted clear­ance for Seraph­ing­ton and Par­a­dise, they must for­sake their for­mer sub­or­di­nates when they pass out of the con­fines of Neb­a­don. Such de­serted cheru­bim and sa­no­bim are usu­ally em­braced by the Uni­verse Mother Spirit, thus achiev­ing a level equiv­a­lent to that of a Man­sion World Teacher in the at­tain­ment of se­raphic sta­tus.

47:5.1Man­so­nia the third is the head­quar­ters of the Man­sion World Teach­ers. Though they func­tion on all seven of the man­sion spheres, they main­tain their group head­quar­ters at the cen­ter of the school cir­cles of world num­ber three. There are mil­lions of these in­struc­tors on the man­sion and higher mor­ontia worlds. These ad­vanced and glo­ri­fied cheru­bim serve as mor­ontia teach­ers all the way up from the man­sion worlds to the last sphere of lo­cal uni­verse as­cen­dant train­ing. They will be among the last to bid you an af­fec­tion­ate adieu when the farewell time draws near, the time when you bid good-bye—at least for a few ages—to the uni­verse of your ori­gin, when you en­seraphim for tran­sit to the re­ceiv­ing worlds of the mi­nor sec­tor of the super­uni­verse.

To­gether with the Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers they took up head­quar­ters on the world of the Spirit and re­mained un­der the lead­er­ship of the Faith­ful of Days of Eden­tia. None of the con­cil­ia­tors apo­s­ta­tized, nor did a sin­gle one of the Ce­les­tial Re­cord­ers go astray. But a heavy toll was taken of the Mor­ontia Com­pan­ions and the Man­sion World Teach­ers.

38:8.6When, as Man­sion World Teach­ers, the once-em­braced cheru­bim and sa­no­bim have long served on the mor­ontia spheres, from the low­est to the high­est, and when their corps on Sal­ving­ton is over­recruited, the Bright and Morn­ing Star sum­mons these faith­ful ser­vants of the crea­tures of time to ap­pear in his pres­ence. The oath of per­son­al­ity trans­for­ma­tion is ad­min­is­tered; and there­upon, in groups of seven thou­sand, these ad­vanced and se­nior cheru­bim and sa­no­bim are re-em­braced by the Uni­verse Mother Spirit. From this sec­ond em­brace they emerge as full-fledged ser­a­phim. Hence­forth, the full and com­plete ca­reer of a ser­a­phim, with all of its Par­a­dise pos­si­bil­i­ties, is open to such re­born cheru­bim and sa­no­bim. Such an­gels may be as­signed as guard­i­ans of des­tiny to some mor­tal be­ing, and if the mor­tal ward at­tains sur­vival, then do they be­come el­i­gi­ble for ad­vance­ment to Seraph­ing­ton and the seven cir­cles of se­raphic at­tain­ment, even to Par­a­dise and the Corps of the Fi­nal­ity.

47:2.1The in­fant-re­ceiv­ing schools of Sa­ta­nia are sit­u­ated on the fi­nal­i­ter world, the first of the Je­ru­sem tran­si­tion-cul­ture spheres. These in­fant-re­ceiv­ing schools are en­ter­prises de­voted to the nur­ture and train­ing of the chil­dren of time, in­clud­ing those who have died on the evo­lu­tion­ary worlds of space be­fore the ac­quire­ment of in­di­vid­ual sta­tus on the uni­verse rec­ords. In the event of the sur­vival of ei­ther or both of such a child’s par­ents, the guard­ian of des­tiny dep­u­tizes her as­so­ci­ated cheru­bim as the cus­to­dian of the child’s po­ten­tial iden­tity, charg­ing the cheru­bim with the re­spon­si­bil­ity of de­liv­er­ing this un­de­vel­oped soul into the hands of the Man­sion World Teach­ers in the pro­ba­tion­ary nurs­eries of the mor­ontia worlds.
