sleeping survivors

40:9.3When such sleep­ing sur­vivors are reper­son­al­ized on the man­sion worlds, the place of the de­parted Ad­juster is filled by an in­di­vid­u­al­iza­tion of the spirit of the Di­vine Min­is­ter, the rep­re­sen­ta­tive of the In­fi­nite Spirit in the lo­cal uni­verse con­cerned. This spirit in­fu­sion con­sti­tutes these sur­viv­ing crea­tures Spirit-fused mor­tals. Such be­ings are in ev­ery way your equals in mind and spirit; and they are in­deed your con­tem­po­raries, shar­ing the man­sion and mor­ontia spheres in com­mon with your or­der of fu­sion can­di­dates and with those who are to be Son fused.

49:6.6While the older worlds of mor­tal ex­is­tence har­bor those highly de­vel­oped and ex­qui­sitely spir­i­tual types of hu­man be­ings who are vir­tu­ally ex­empt from the mor­ontia life, the ear­lier ages of the an­i­mal-ori­gin races are char­ac­ter­ized by prim­i­tive mor­tals who are so im­ma­ture that fu­sion with their Ad­justers is im­pos­si­ble. The reawak­en­ing of these mor­tals is ac­com­plished by the guard­ian ser­a­phim in con­junc­tion with an in­di­vid­u­al­ized por­tion of the im­mor­tal spirit of the Third Source and Cen­ter.

20:2.51. Ju­di­cial Ac­tions. They act at the close of the plan­e­tary dis­pen­sa­tions. In time, scores—hun­dreds—of such mis­sions may be ex­e­cuted on each in­di­vid­ual world, and they may go to the same or to other worlds times with­out num­ber as dis­pen­sa­tion ter­mi­na­tors, lib­er­a­tors of the sleep­ing sur­vivors.

20:3.1The Avo­nals are known as Mag­is­te­rial Sons be­cause they are the high mag­is­trates of the realms, the ad­ju­di­ca­tors of the suc­ces­sive dis­pen­sa­tions of the worlds of time. They pre­side over the awak­en­ing of the sleep­ing sur­vivors, sit in judg­ment on the realm, bring to an end a dis­pen­sa­tion of sus­pended jus­tice, ex­e­cute the man­dates of an age of pro­ba­tion­ary mercy, re­as­sign the space crea­tures of plan­e­tary min­istry to the tasks of the new dis­pen­sa­tion, and re­turn to the head­quar­ters of their lo­cal uni­verse upon the com­ple­tion of their mis­sion.

30:4.112. Sleep­ing Sur­vivors. All mor­tals of sur­vival sta­tus, in the cus­tody of per­sonal guard­i­ans of des­tiny, pass through the por­tals of nat­u­ral death and, on the third pe­riod, per­son­al­ize on the man­sion worlds. Those ac­cred­ited be­ings who have, for any rea­son, been un­able to at­tain that level of in­tel­li­gence mas­tery and en­dow­ment of spir­i­tu­al­ity which would en­ti­tle them to per­sonal guard­i­ans, can­not thus im­me­di­ately and di­rectly go to the man­sion worlds. Such sur­viv­ing souls must rest in un­con­scious sleep un­til the judg­ment day of a new epoch, a new dis­pen­sa­tion, the com­ing of a Son of God to call the rolls of the age and ad­ju­di­cate the realm, and this is the gen­eral prac­tice through­out all Neb­a­don. It was said of Christ Mi­chael that, when he as­cended on high at the con­clu­sion of his work on earth, “He led a great mul­ti­tude of cap­tives.” And these cap­tives were the sleep­ing sur­vivors from the days of Adam to the day of the Mas­ter’s res­ur­rec­tion on Uran­tia.

189:3.1A lit­tle af­ter half past four o’clock this Sun­day morn­ing, Ga­briel sum­moned the arch­an­gels to his side and made ready to in­au­gu­rate the gen­eral res­ur­rec­tion of the ter­mi­na­tion of the Adamic dis­pen­sa­tion on Uran­tia. When the vast host of the ser­a­phim and the cheru­bim con­cerned in this great event had been mar­shaled in proper for­ma­tion, the mor­ontia Mi­chael ap­peared be­fore Ga­briel, say­ing: “As my Fa­ther has life in him­self, so has he given it to the Son to have life in him­self. Al­though I have not yet fully re­sumed the ex­er­cise of uni­verse ju­ris­dic­tion, this self-im­posed lim­i­ta­tion does not in any man­ner re­strict the be­stowal of life upon my sleep­ing sons; let the roll call of the plan­e­tary res­ur­rec­tion be­gin.”

189:3.2The cir­cuit of the arch­an­gels then op­er­ated for the first time from Uran­tia. Ga­briel and the arch­an­gel hosts moved to the place of the spir­i­tual po­lar­ity of the planet; and when Ga­briel gave the sig­nal, there flashed to the first of the sys­tem man­sion worlds the voice of Ga­briel, say­ing: “By the man­date of Mi­chael, let the dead of a Uran­tia dis­pen­sa­tion rise!” Then all the sur­vivors of the hu­man races of Uran­tia who had fallen asleep since the days of Adam, and who had not al­ready gone on to judg­ment, ap­peared in the res­ur­rec­tion halls of man­so­nia in readi­ness for mor­ontia in­vesti­ture. And in an in­stant of time the ser­a­phim and their as­so­ciates made ready to de­part for the man­sion worlds. Or­di­nar­ily these se­raphic guard­i­ans, one­time as­signed to the group cus­tody of these sur­viv­ing mor­tals, would have been pres­ent at the mo­ment of their awak­ing in the res­ur­rec­tion halls of man­so­nia, but they were on this world it­self at this time be­cause of the ne­ces­sity of Ga­briel’s pres­ence here in con­nec­tion with the mor­ontia res­ur­rec­tion of Je­sus.

189:3.3Not­with­stand­ing that count­less in­di­vid­u­als hav­ing per­sonal se­raphic guard­i­ans and those achiev­ing the req­ui­site at­tain­ment of spir­i­tual per­son­al­ity prog­ress had gone on to man­so­nia dur­ing the ages sub­se­quent to the times of Adam and Eve, and though there had been many spe­cial and mil­len­nial res­ur­rec­tions of Uran­tia sons, this was the third of the plan­e­tary roll calls, or com­plete dis­pen­sa­tional res­ur­rec­tions. The first oc­curred at the time of the ar­rival of the Plan­e­tary Prince, the sec­ond dur­ing the time of Adam, and this, the third, sig­nal­ized the mor­ontia res­ur­rec­tion, the mor­tal tran­sit, of Je­sus of Naz­a­reth.

47:3.3The mor­tal-mind tran­scripts and the ac­tive crea­ture-mem­ory pat­terns as trans­formed from the ma­te­rial lev­els to the spir­i­tual are the in­di­vid­ual pos­ses­sion of the de­tached Thought Ad­justers; these spir­i­tized fac­tors of mind, mem­ory, and crea­ture per­son­al­ity are for­ever a part of such Ad­justers. The crea­ture mind-ma­trix and the pas­sive po­ten­tials of iden­tity are pres­ent in the mor­ontia soul in­trusted to the keep­ing of the se­raphic des­tiny guard­i­ans. And it is the re­unit­ing of the mor­ontia-soul trust of the ser­a­phim and the spirit-mind trust of the Ad­juster that re­assem­bles crea­ture per­son­al­ity and con­sti­tutes res­ur­rec­tion of a sleep­ing sur­vivor.

47:3.4If a tran­si­tory per­son­al­ity of mor­tal ori­gin should never be thus re­assem­bled, the spirit el­e­ments of the non­sur­viv­ing mor­tal crea­ture would for­ever con­tinue as an in­te­gral part of the in­di­vid­ual ex­pe­ri­en­tial en­dow­ment of the one­time in­dwelling Ad­juster.

37:3.8It is on these worlds that per­son­al­ity rec­ords and iden­ti­fi­ca­tion sureties are clas­si­fied, filed, and pre­served dur­ing that time which in­ter­venes be­tween mor­tal death and the hour of reper­son­al­iza­tion, the res­ur­rec­tion from death.

49:6.3Through­out the ear­lier ages of an in­hab­ited world, many are called to the man­sion spheres at the spe­cial and the mil­len­nial res­ur­rec­tions, but most sur­vivors are reper­son­al­ized at the in­au­gu­ra­tion of a new dis­pen­sa­tion as­so­ci­ated with the ad­vent of a di­vine Son of plan­e­tary ser­vice.

49:6.41. Mor­tals of the dis­pen­sa­tional or group or­der of sur­vival. With the ar­rival of the first Ad­juster on an in­hab­ited world the guard­ian ser­a­phim also make their ap­pear­ance; they are in­dis­pens­able to ter­res­trial es­cape. Through­out the life-lapse pe­riod of the sleep­ing sur­vivors the spir­i­tual val­ues and eter­nal re­al­i­ties of their newly evolved and im­mor­tal souls are held as a sa­cred trust by the per­sonal or by the group guard­ian ser­a­phim.

49:6.5The group guard­i­ans of as­sign­ment to the sleep­ing sur­vivors al­ways func­tion with the judg­ment Sons on their world ad­vents. “He shall send his an­gels, and they shall gather to­gether his elect from the four winds.” With each ser­a­phim of as­sign­ment to the reper­son­al­iza­tion of a sleep­ing mor­tal there func­tions the re­turned Ad­juster, the same im­mor­tal Fa­ther frag­ment that lived in him dur­ing the days in the flesh, and thus is iden­tity re­stored and per­son­al­ity res­ur­rected. Dur­ing the sleep of their sub­jects these wait­ing Ad­justers serve on Di­vin­ing­ton; they never in­dwell an­other mor­tal mind in this in­terim.

49:6.7Thus are the sleep­ing sur­vivors of a plan­e­tary age reper­son­al­ized in the dis­pen­sa­tional roll calls. But with re­gard to the non­salv­able per­son­al­i­ties of a realm, no im­mor­tal spirit is pres­ent to func­tion with the group guard­i­ans of des­tiny, and this con­sti­tutes ces­sa­tion of crea­ture ex­is­tence. While some of your rec­ords have pic­tured these events as tak­ing place on the plan­ets of mor­tal death, they all re­ally oc­cur on the man­sion worlds.

112:5.10When the more spir­i­tu­ally and cos­mi­cally ad­vanced mor­tals die, they pro­ceed im­me­di­ately to the man­sion worlds; in gen­eral, this pro­vi­sion op­er­ates with those who have had as­signed to them per­sonal se­raphic guard­i­ans. Other mor­tals may be de­tained un­til such time as the ad­ju­di­ca­tion of their af­fairs has been com­pleted, af­ter which they may pro­ceed to the man­sion worlds, or they may be as­signed to the ranks of the sleep­ing sur­vivors who will be reper­son­al­ized en masse at the end of the cur­rent plan­e­tary dis­pen­sa­tion.

112:5.13This child of per­sist­ing mean­ing and sur­viv­ing value is wholly un­con­scious dur­ing the pe­riod from death to reper­son­al­iza­tion and is in the keep­ing of the se­raphic des­tiny guard­ian through­out this sea­son of wait­ing. You will not func­tion as a con­scious be­ing, fol­low­ing death, un­til you at­tain the new con­scious­ness of mor­ontia on the man­sion worlds of Sa­ta­nia.

30:4.12The pass­ing of time is of no mo­ment to sleep­ing mor­tals; they are wholly un­con­scious and obliv­i­ous to the length of their rest. On re­assem­bly of per­son­al­ity at the end of an age, those who have slept five thou­sand years will re­act no dif­fer­ently than those who have rested five days. Aside from this time de­lay these sur­vivors pass on through the as­cen­sion regime iden­ti­cally with those who avoid the longer or shorter sleep of death.

113:6.7And even so, when a plan­e­tary age ends, when those in the lower cir­cles of mor­tal achieve­ment are for­gath­ered, it is their group guard­i­ans who re­assem­ble them in the res­ur­rec­tion halls of the man­sion spheres, even as your rec­ord tells: “And he shall send his an­gels with a great voice and shall gather to­gether his elect from one end of the realm to an­other.”

113:6.8The tech­nique of jus­tice de­mands that per­sonal or group guard­i­ans shall re­spond to the dis­pen­sa­tional roll call in be­half of all non­sur­viv­ing per­son­al­i­ties. The Ad­justers of such non­sur­vivors do not re­turn, and when the rolls are called, the ser­a­phim re­spond, but the Ad­justers make no an­swer. This con­sti­tutes the “res­ur­rec­tion of the un­just,” in re­al­ity the for­mal rec­og­ni­tion of the ces­sa­tion of crea­ture ex­is­tence. This roll call of jus­tice al­ways im­me­di­ately fol­lows the roll call of mercy, the res­ur­rec­tion of the sleep­ing sur­vivors. But these are mat­ters which are of con­cern to none but the su­preme and all-know­ing Judges of sur­vival val­ues. Such prob­lems of ad­ju­di­ca­tion do not re­ally con­cern us.
