48:6.222. Racial In­ter­preters. All races of mor­tal be­ings are not alike. True, there is a plan­e­tary pat­tern run­ning through the phys­i­cal, men­tal, and spir­i­tual na­tures and ten­den­cies of the var­i­ous races of a given world; but there are also dis­tinct racial types, and very def­i­nite so­cial ten­den­cies char­ac­ter­ize the off­spring of these dif­fer­ent ba­sic types of hu­man be­ings. On the worlds of time the se­raphic racial in­ter­preters fur­ther the ef­forts of the race com­mis­sion­ers to har­mo­nize the var­ied view­points of the races, and they con­tinue to func­tion on the man­sion worlds, where these same dif­fer­ences tend to per­sist in a mea­sure. On a con­fused planet, such as Uran­tia, these bril­liant be­ings have hardly had a fair op­por­tu­nity to func­tion, but they are the skill­ful so­ci­ol­o­gists and the wise eth­nic ad­vis­ers of the first heaven.

48:6.23You should con­sider the state­ment about “heaven” and the “heaven of heav­ens.” The heaven con­ceived by most of your proph­ets was the first of the man­sion worlds of the lo­cal sys­tem. When the apos­tle spoke of be­ing “caught up to the third heaven,” he re­ferred to that ex­pe­ri­ence in which his Ad­juster was de­tached dur­ing sleep and in this un­usual state made a pro­jec­tion to the third of the seven man­sion worlds. Some of your wise men saw the vi­sion of the greater heaven, “the heaven of heav­ens,” of which the sev­en­fold man­sion world ex­pe­ri­ence was but the first; the sec­ond be­ing Je­ru­sem; the third, Eden­tia and its satel­lites; the fourth, Sal­ving­ton and the sur­round­ing ed­u­ca­tional spheres; the fifth, Uversa; the sixth, Ha­vona; and the sev­enth, Par­a­dise.

39:6.1As their name might sug­gest, ser­a­phim of tran­si­tional min­istry serve wher­ever they can con­tribute to crea­ture tran­si­tion from the ma­te­rial to the spir­i­tual es­tate. These an­gels serve from the in­hab­ited worlds to the sys­tem cap­i­tals, but those in Sa­ta­nia at pres­ent di­rect their great­est ef­forts to­ward the ed­u­ca­tion of the sur­viv­ing mor­tals on the seven man­sion worlds. This min­istry is di­ver­si­fied in ac­cor­dance with the fol­low­ing seven or­ders of as­sign­ment:
