48:6.41. Se­raphic Evan­gels. The mo­ment you con­sciou­size on the man­sion worlds, you are clas­si­fied as evolv­ing spir­its in the rec­ords of the sys­tem. True, you are not yet spir­its in re­al­ity, but you are no longer mor­tal or ma­te­rial be­ings; you have em­barked upon the pre­spirit ca­reer and have been duly ad­mit­ted to the mor­ontia life.

48:6.5On the man­sion worlds the se­raphic evan­gels will help you to choose wisely among the op­tional routes to Eden­tia, Sal­ving­ton, Uversa, and Ha­vona. If there are a num­ber of equally ad­vis­able routes, these will be put be­fore you, and you will be per­mit­ted to se­lect the one that most ap­peals to you. These ser­a­phim then make rec­om­men­da­tions to the four and twenty ad­vis­ers on Je­ru­sem con­cern­ing that course which would be most ad­van­ta­geous for each as­cend­ing soul.

48:6.6You are not given un­re­stricted choice as to your fu­ture course; but you may choose within the lim­its of that which the tran­si­tion min­is­ters and their su­pe­ri­ors wisely de­ter­mine to be most suit­able for your fu­ture spirit at­tain­ment. The spirit world is gov­erned on the prin­ci­ple of re­spect­ing your free­will choice pro­vided the course you may choose is not detri­men­tal to you or in­ju­ri­ous to your fel­lows.

48:6.7These se­raphic evan­gels are ded­i­cated to the procla­ma­tion of the gospel of eter­nal pro­gres­sion, the tri­umph of per­fec­tion at­tain­ment. On the man­sion worlds they pro­claim the great law of the con­ser­va­tion and dom­i­nance of good­ness: No act of good is ever wholly lost; it may be long thwarted but never wholly an­nulled, and it is eter­nally po­tent in pro­por­tion to the di­vin­ity of its mo­ti­va­tion.

48:6.8Even on Uran­tia they coun­sel the hu­man teach­ers of truth and righ­teous­ness to ad­here to the preach­ing of “the good­ness of God, which leads to re­pen­tance,” to pro­claim “the love of God, which casts out all fear.” Even so have these truths been de­clared on your world:

48:6.20That is the story whis­pered in the night sea­son to the shep­herd boy. He could not re­tain it word for word, but to the best of his mem­ory he gave it much as it is re­corded to­day.

48:6.21These ser­a­phim are also the evan­gels of the gospel of per­fec­tion at­tain­ment for the whole sys­tem as well as for the in­di­vid­ual as­cender. Even now in the young sys­tem of Sa­ta­nia their teach­ings and plans en­com­pass pro­vi­sions for the fu­ture ages when the man­sion worlds will no longer serve the mor­tal as­cend­ers as step­ping­stones to the spheres on high.

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:
