Son-fused mortals

31 paragraphs · about 11 minutes

Every paragraph the index cites under Son-fused mortals, once, in the order of the book. Beside each stand the entries that cite it.

22:1.11The Trin­i­tized Sons of Se­lec­tion em­brace the Trin­i­tized Cus­to­di­ans and the Trin­i­tized Am­bas­sadors. They are re­cruited from cer­tain of the evo­lu­tion­ary ser­a­phim and trans­lated mid­way crea­tures who have tra­versed Ha­vona and have at­tained Par­a­dise, as well as from cer­tain of the Spirit-fused and the Son-fused mor­tals who have like­wise as­cended to the cen­tral Isle of Light and Life. Sub­se­quent to their em­brace by the Par­a­dise Trin­ity and af­ter a brief train­ing in Ha­vona, the Trin­i­tized Sons of Se­lec­tion are as­signed to the courts of the An­cients of Days.

22:6.1Trin­i­tized Am­bas­sadors are the sec­ond or­der of the Trin­i­tized Sons of Se­lec­tion and like their as­so­ciates, the Cus­to­di­ans, are re­cruited from two types of as­cen­dant crea­tures. Not all as­cend­ing mor­tals are Ad­juster or Fa­ther fused; some are Spirit fused, some are Son fused. Cer­tain of these Spirit- and Son-fused mor­tals reach Ha­vona and at­tain Par­a­dise. From among these Par­a­dise as­cend­ers, can­di­dates are se­lected for the Trin­ity em­brace, and from time to time they are trin­i­tized in classes of seven thou­sand. They are then com­mis­sioned in the super­uni­verses as Trin­i­tized Am­bas­sadors of the An­cients of Days. Al­most one-half bil­lion are reg­is­tered on Uversa.

22:9.3Al­most one bil­lion Ce­les­tial Guard­i­ans have been com­mis­sioned in Or­von­ton. They are chiefly as­signed to the ad­min­is­tra­tions of the Per­fec­tions of Days on the head­quar­ters of the ma­jor sec­tors and are ably as­sisted by a corps of as­cen­dant Son-fused mor­tals.

30:1.92IV. EVEN­TU­ATED TRAN­SCEN­DEN­TAL BE­INGS. There is to be found on Par­a­dise a vast host of tran­scen­den­tal be­ings whose ori­gin is not or­di­nar­ily dis­closed to the uni­verses of time and space un­til they are set­tled in light and life. These Tran­scen­den­talers are nei­ther cre­ators nor crea­tures; they are the even­tu­ated chil­dren of di­vin­ity, ul­ti­macy, and eter­nity. These “even­tu­a­tors” are nei­ther fi­nite nor in­fi­nite—they are ab­so­nite; and ab­sonity is nei­ther in­fin­ity nor ab­so­lute­ness.

30:1.93These un­cre­ated non­cre­ators are ever loyal to the Par­a­dise Trin­ity and obe­di­ent to the Ul­ti­mate. They are ex­is­tent on four ul­ti­mate lev­els of per­son­al­ity ac­tiv­ity and are func­tional on the seven lev­els of the ab­so­nite in twelve grand di­vi­sions con­sist­ing of one thou­sand ma­jor work­ing groups of seven classes each. These even­tu­ated be­ings in­clude the fol­low­ing or­ders:

30:1.985. As­so­ciate Tran­scen­den­tal Mas­ter Force Or­ga­niz­ers.

30:1.99God, as a super­per­son, even­tu­ates; God, as a per­son, cre­ates; God, as a preper­son, frag­ments; and such an Ad­juster frag­ment of him­self evolves the spirit soul upon the ma­te­rial and mor­tal mind in ac­cor­dance with the free­will choos­ing of the per­son­al­ity which has been be­stowed upon such a mor­tal crea­ture by the pa­ren­tal act of God as a Fa­ther.

30:1.100V. FRAG­MENTED EN­TI­TIES OF DE­ITY. This or­der of liv­ing ex­is­tence, orig­i­nat­ing in the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther, is best typ­i­fied by the Thought Ad­justers, though these en­ti­ties are by no means the only frag­men­ta­tions of the preper­sonal re­al­ity of the First Source and Cen­ter. The func­tions of the other-than-Ad­juster frag­ments are man­i­fold and lit­tle known. Fu­sion with an Ad­juster or other such frag­ment con­sti­tutes the crea­ture a Fa­ther-fused be­ing.

30:1.101The frag­men­ta­tions of the pre­mind spirit of the Third Source and Cen­ter, though hardly com­pa­ra­ble to the Fa­ther frag­ments, should be here re­corded. Such en­ti­ties dif­fer very greatly from Ad­justers; they do not as such dwell on Spir­it­ing­ton, nor do they as such tra­verse the mind-grav­ity cir­cuits; nei­ther do they in­dwell mor­tal crea­tures dur­ing the life in the flesh. They are not preper­sonal in the sense that the Ad­justers are, but such frag­ments of pre­mind spirit are be­stowed upon cer­tain of the sur­viv­ing mor­tals, and fu­sion there­with con­sti­tutes them Spirit-fused mor­tals in con­tradis­tinc­tion to Ad­juster-fused mor­tals.

30:1.102Still more dif­fi­cult of de­scrip­tion is the in­di­vid­u­al­ized spirit of a Cre­ator Son, union with which con­sti­tutes the crea­ture a Son-fused mor­tal. And there are still other frag­men­ta­tions of De­ity.

30:4.9The fol­low­ing nar­ra­tive pre­sents the uni­verse ca­reer of an Ad­juster-in­dwelt mor­tal. The Son- and Spirit-fused mor­tals share por­tions of this ca­reer, but we have elected to tell this story as it per­tains to the Ad­juster-fused mor­tals, for such a des­tiny may be an­tic­i­pated by all of the hu­man races of Uran­tia.

37:9.12In like man­ner, all di­vi­sions of the ad­min­is­tra­tive or­ga­ni­za­tion of the lo­cal uni­verses and super­uni­verses have their more or less per­ma­nent pop­u­la­tions, in­hab­i­tants of cit­i­zen­ship sta­tus. As Uran­tia has its mid­way­ers, Je­ru­sem, your sys­tem cap­i­tal, has the Ma­te­rial Sons and Daugh­ters; Eden­tia, your con­stel­la­tion head­quar­ters, has the uni­v­i­ta­tia, while the cit­i­zens of Sal­ving­ton are two­fold, the cre­ated susa­tia and the evolved Spirit-fused mor­tals. The ad­min­is­tra­tive worlds of the mi­nor and ma­jor sec­tors of the super­uni­verses do not have per­ma­nent cit­i­zens. But the Uversa head­quar­ters spheres are con­tin­u­ously fos­tered by an amaz­ing group of be­ings known as the aban­don­ters, the cre­ation of the un­re­vealed agents of the An­cients of Days and the seven Re­flec­tive Spir­its res­i­dent on the cap­i­tal of Or­von­ton. These res­i­den­tial cit­i­zens on Uversa are at pres­ent ad­min­is­ter­ing the rou­tine af­fairs of their world un­der the im­me­di­ate super­vi­sion of the Uversa corps of the Son-fused mor­tals. Even Ha­vona has its na­tive be­ings, and the cen­tral Isle of Light and Life is the home of the var­i­ous groups of Par­a­dise Cit­i­zens.

40:8.1While prac­ti­cally all sur­viv­ing mor­tals are fused with their Ad­justers on one of the man­sion worlds or im­me­di­ately upon their ar­rival on the higher mor­ontia spheres, there are cer­tain cases of de­layed fu­sion, some not ex­pe­ri­enc­ing this fi­nal surety of sur­vival un­til they reach the last ed­u­ca­tional worlds of the uni­verse head­quar­ters; and a few of these mor­tal can­di­dates for never-end­ing life ut­terly fail to at­tain iden­tity fu­sion with their faith­ful Ad­justers.

40:8.2Such mor­tals have been deemed wor­thy of sur­vival by the ad­ju­di­ca­tional au­thor­i­ties, and even their Ad­justers, by re­turn­ing from Di­vin­ing­ton, have con­curred in their as­cen­sion to the man­sion worlds. Such be­ings have as­cended through a sys­tem, a con­stel­la­tion, and through the ed­u­ca­tional worlds of the Sal­ving­ton cir­cuit; they have en­joyed the “sev­enty times seven” op­por­tu­ni­ties for fu­sion and still have been un­able to at­tain one­ness with their Ad­justers.

40:8.3When it be­comes ap­par­ent that some syn­chro­niz­ing dif­fi­culty is in­hibit­ing Fa­ther fu­sion, the sur­vival ref­er­ees of the Cre­ator Son are con­vened. And when this court of in­quiry, sanc­tioned by a per­sonal rep­re­sen­ta­tive of the An­cients of Days, fi­nally de­ter­mines that the as­cend­ing mor­tal is not guilty of any dis­cov­er­able cause for fail­ure to at­tain fu­sion, they so cer­tify on the rec­ords of the lo­cal uni­verse and duly trans­mit this find­ing to the An­cients of Days. There­upon does the in­dwelling Ad­juster re­turn forth­with to Di­vin­ing­ton for con­fir­ma­tion by the Per­son­al­ized Mon­i­tors, and upon this leave-tak­ing the mor­ontia mor­tal is im­me­di­ately fused with an in­di­vid­u­al­ized gift of the spirit of the Cre­ator Son.

40:8.4Much as the mor­ontia spheres of Neb­a­don are shared with the Spirit-fused mor­tals, so do these Son-fused crea­tures share the ser­vices of Or­von­ton with their Ad­juster-fused breth­ren who are jour­ney­ing in­ward to­wards the far-dis­tant Isle of Par­a­dise. They are truly your breth­ren, and you will greatly en­joy their as­so­ci­a­tion as you pass through the train­ing worlds of the super­uni­verse.

40:8.5Son-fused mor­tals are not a nu­mer­ous group, there be­ing less than one mil­lion of them in the super­uni­verse of Or­von­ton. Aside from res­i­den­tial des­tiny on Par­a­dise they are in ev­ery way the equals of their Ad­juster-fused as­so­ciates. They fre­quently jour­ney to Par­a­dise on super­uni­verse as­sign­ment but sel­dom per­ma­nently re­side there, be­ing, as a class, con­fined to the super­uni­verse of their na­tiv­ity.

40:9.2The fact that these types of mor­tal crea­tures are not Ad­juster-fu­sion can­di­dates does not pre­vent the Ad­justers from in­dwelling them dur­ing the life in the flesh. Ad­justers do work in the minds of such be­ings dur­ing the span of ma­te­rial life but never be­come ev­er­last­ingly one with their pupil souls. Dur­ing this tem­po­rary so­journ the Ad­justers ef­fec­tively build up the same spirit coun­ter­part of mor­tal na­ture—the soul—that they do in the can­di­dates for Ad­juster fu­sion. Up to the time of mor­tal death the work of the Ad­justers is wholly akin to their func­tion in your own races, but upon mor­tal dis­so­lu­tion the Ad­justers take eter­nal leave of these Spirit-fu­sion can­di­dates and, pro­ceed­ing di­rectly to Di­vin­ing­ton, the head­quar­ters of all di­vine Mon­i­tors, there await the new as­sign­ments of their or­der.

40:10.1Spirit-fused mor­tals are, gen­er­ally speak­ing, con­fined to a lo­cal uni­verse; Son-fused sur­vivors are re­stricted to a super­uni­verse; Ad­juster-fused mor­tals are des­tined to pen­e­trate the uni­verse of uni­verses. The spir­its of mor­tal fu­sion al­ways as­cend to the level of ori­gin; such spirit en­ti­ties un­fail­ingly re­turn to the sphere of pri­mal source.

40:10.2Spirit-fused mor­tals are of the lo­cal uni­verse; they do not, or­di­nar­ily, as­cend be­yond the con­fines of their na­tive realm, be­yond the bound­aries of the space range of the spirit that per­vades them. Son-fused as­cend­ers like­wise rise to the source of spirit en­dow­ment, for much as the Truth Spirit of a Cre­ator Son fo­cal­izes in the as­so­ci­ated Di­vine Min­is­ter, so is his “fu­sion spirit” im­ple­mented in the Re­flec­tive Spir­its of the higher uni­verses. Such spirit re­la­tion­ship be­tween the lo­cal and the super­uni­verse lev­els of God the Sev­en­fold may be dif­fi­cult of ex­pla­na­tion but not of dis­cern­ment, be­ing un­mis­tak­ably re­vealed in those chil­dren of the Re­flec­tive Spir­its—the sec­o­raphic Voices of the Cre­ator Sons. The Thought Ad­juster, hail­ing from the Fa­ther on Par­a­dise, never stops un­til the mor­tal son stands face to face with the eter­nal God.

40:10.3The mys­te­ri­ous vari­able in as­so­cia­tive tech­nique whereby a mor­tal be­ing does not or can­not be­come eter­nally fused with the in­dwelling Thought Ad­juster may seem to dis­close a flaw in the as­cen­sion scheme; Son and Spirit fu­sion do, su­per­fi­cially, re­sem­ble com­pen­sa­tions of un­ex­plained fail­ures in some de­tail of the Par­a­dise-at­tain­ment plan; but all such con­clu­sions stand in er­ror; we are taught that all these hap­pen­ings un­fold in obe­di­ence to the es­tab­lished laws of the Su­preme Uni­verse Rulers.

40:10.4We have an­a­lyzed this prob­lem and have reached the un­doubted con­clu­sion that the con­sign­ment of all mor­tals to an ul­ti­mate Par­a­dise des­tiny would be un­fair to the time-space uni­verses inas­much as the courts of the Cre­ator Sons and of the An­cients of Days would then be wholly de­pen­dent on the ser­vices of those who were in tran­sit to higher realms. And it does seem to be no more than fit­ting that the lo­cal and the super­uni­verse gov­ern­ments should each be pro­vided with a per­ma­nent group of as­cen­dant cit­i­zen­ship; that the func­tions of these ad­min­is­tra­tions should be en­riched by the ef­forts of cer­tain groups of glo­ri­fied mor­tals who are of per­ma­nent sta­tus, evo­lu­tion­ary com­ple­ments of the aban­don­ters and of the susa­tia. Now it is quite ob­vi­ous that the pres­ent as­cen­sion scheme ef­fec­tively pro­vides the time-space ad­min­is­tra­tions with just such groups of as­cen­dant crea­tures; and we have many times won­dered: Does all this rep­re­sent an in­tended part of the all-wise plans of the Ar­chi­tects of the Mas­ter Uni­verse de­signed to pro­vide the Cre­ator Sons and the An­cients of Days with a per­ma­nent as­cen­dant pop­u­la­tion? with evolved or­ders of cit­i­zen­ship that will be­come in­creas­ingly com­pe­tent to carry for­ward the af­fairs of these realms in the uni­verse ages to come?

40:10.5That mor­tal des­tinies do thus vary in no wise proves that one is nec­es­sar­ily greater or lesser than an­other, merely that they dif­fer. Ad­juster-fused as­cend­ers do in­deed have a grand and glo­ri­ous ca­reer as fi­nal­i­ters spread out be­fore them in the eter­nal fu­ture, but this does not mean that they are pre­ferred above their as­cen­dant breth­ren. There is no fa­voritism, noth­ing ar­bi­trary, in the se­lec­tive op­er­a­tion of the di­vine plan of mor­tal sur­vival.

40:10.6While the Ad­juster-fused fi­nal­i­ters ob­vi­ously en­joy the widest ser­vice op­por­tu­nity of all, the at­tain­ment of this goal au­to­mat­i­cally shuts them off from the chance to par­tic­i­pate in the age­long strug­gle of some one uni­verse or super­uni­verse, from the ear­lier and less set­tled epochs to the later and es­tab­lished eras of rel­a­tive per­fec­tion at­tain­ment. Fi­nal­i­ters ac­quire a mar­velous and far-flung ex­pe­ri­ence of tran­sient ser­vice in all seven seg­ments of the grand uni­verse, but they do not or­di­nar­ily ac­quire that in­ti­mate knowl­edge of any one uni­verse which even now char­ac­ter­izes the Spirit-fused vet­er­ans of the Neb­a­don Corps of Com­ple­tion. These in­di­vid­u­als en­joy an op­por­tu­nity to wit­ness the as­cend­ing pro­ces­sional of the plan­e­tary ages as they un­fold one by one on ten mil­lion in­hab­ited worlds. And in the faith­ful ser­vice of such lo­cal uni­verse cit­i­zens, ex­pe­ri­ence super­im­poses upon ex­pe­ri­ence un­til the full­ness of time ripens that high qual­ity of wis­dom which is en­gen­dered by fo­cal­ized ex­pe­ri­ence—au­thor­i­ta­tive wis­dom—and this in it­self is a vi­tal fac­tor in the set­tling of any lo­cal uni­verse.

40:10.7As it is with the Spirit fusers, so is it with those Son-fused mor­tals who have achieved res­i­den­tial sta­tus on Uversa. Some of these be­ings hail from the ear­li­est epochs of Or­von­ton, and they rep­re­sent a slowly ac­cu­mu­lat­ing body of in­sight-deep­en­ing wis­dom which is mak­ing ever-aug­ment­ing ser­vice con­tri­bu­tions to the wel­fare and even­tual set­tle­ment of the sev­enth super­uni­verse.

40:10.8What the ul­ti­mate des­tiny of these sta­tion­ary or­ders of lo­cal and of super­uni­verse cit­i­zen­ship will be we do not know, but it is quite pos­si­ble that, when the Par­a­dise fi­nal­i­ters are pi­o­neer­ing the ex­pand­ing fron­tiers of di­vin­ity in the plan­e­tary sys­tems of the first outer space level, their Son- and Spirit-fused breth­ren of the as­cen­dant evo­lu­tion­ary strug­gle will be ac­cept­ably con­tribut­ing to the main­te­nance of the ex­pe­ri­en­tial equi­lib­rium of the per­fected super­uni­verses while they stand ready to wel­come the in­com­ing stream of Par­a­dise pil­grims who may, at that dis­tant day, pour in through Or­von­ton and its sis­ter cre­ations as a vast spirit-quest­ing tor­rent from these now un­charted and un­in­hab­ited galax­ies of outer space.

40:10.9While the ma­jor­ity of Spirit fusers serve per­ma­nently as cit­i­zens of the lo­cal uni­verses, all do not. If some phase of their uni­verse min­istry should re­quire their per­sonal pres­ence in the super­uni­verse, then would such trans­for­ma­tions of be­ing be wrought in these cit­i­zens as would en­able them to as­cend to the higher uni­verse; and upon the ar­rival of the Ce­les­tial Guard­i­ans with or­ders to pre­sent such Spirit-fused mor­tals at the courts of the An­cients of Days, they would so as­cend, never to re­turn. They be­come wards of the super­uni­verse, serv­ing as as­sis­tants to the Ce­les­tial Guard­i­ans and per­ma­nently, save for those few who are in turn sum­moned to the ser­vice of Par­a­dise and Ha­vona.

40:10.10Like their Spirit-fused breth­ren, the Son fusers nei­ther tra­verse Ha­vona nor at­tain Par­a­dise un­less they have un­der­gone cer­tain mod­i­fy­ing trans­for­ma­tions. For good and suf­fi­cient rea­sons, such changes have been wrought in cer­tain Son-fused sur­vivors, and these be­ings are to be en­coun­tered ever and anon on the seven cir­cuits of the cen­tral uni­verse. Thus it is that cer­tain num­bers of both the Son- and the Spirit-fused mor­tals do ac­tu­ally as­cend to Par­a­dise, do at­tain a goal in many ways equal to that which awaits the Fa­ther-fused mor­tals.

40:10.11Fa­ther-fused mor­tals are po­ten­tial fi­nal­i­ters; their des­ti­na­tion is the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther, and him they do at­tain, but within the purview of the pres­ent uni­verse age, fi­nal­i­ters, as such, are not des­tiny at­tain­ers. They re­main un­fin­ished crea­tures—sixth-stage spir­its—and hence non­ac­tive in the evo­lu­tion­ary do­mains of pre­light-and-life sta­tus.

40:10.12When a mor­tal fi­nal­i­ter is Trin­ity em­braced—be­comes a Trin­i­tized Son, such as a Mighty Mes­sen­ger—then has that fi­nal­i­ter at­tained des­tiny, at least for the pres­ent uni­verse age. Mighty Mes­sen­gers and their fel­lows may not in the ex­act sense be sev­enth-stage spir­its, but in ad­di­tion to other things the Trin­ity em­brace en­dows them with ev­ery­thing which a fi­nal­i­ter will some­time achieve as a sev­enth-stage spirit. Af­ter Spirit-fused or Son-fused mor­tals are trin­i­tized, they pass through the Par­a­dise ex­pe­ri­ence with the Ad­juster-fused as­cend­ers, with whom they are then iden­ti­cal in all mat­ters per­tain­ing to super­uni­verse ad­min­is­tra­tion. These Trin­i­tized Sons of Se­lec­tion or of At­tain­ment at least for now are fin­ished crea­tures, in con­trast to the fi­nal­i­ters, who are at pres­ent un­fin­ished crea­tures.

40:10.13Thus, in the fi­nal anal­y­sis, it would be hardly proper to use the words “greater” or “lesser” in con­trast­ing the des­tinies of the as­cend­ing or­ders of son­ship. Ev­ery such son of God shares the fa­ther­hood of God, and God loves each of his crea­ture sons alike; he is no more a re­specter of as­cen­dant des­tinies than is he of the crea­tures who may at­tain such des­tinies. The Fa­ther loves each of his sons, and that af­fec­tion is not less than true, holy, di­vine, un­lim­ited, eter­nal, and unique—a love be­stowed upon this son and upon that son, in­di­vid­u­ally, per­son­ally, and ex­clu­sively. And such a love ut­terly eclipses all other facts. Son­ship is the su­preme re­la­tion­ship of the crea­ture to the Cre­ator.

40:10.14As mor­tals you can now rec­og­nize your place in the fam­ily of di­vine son­ship and be­gin to sense the obli­ga­tion to avail your­selves of the ad­van­tages so freely pro­vided in and by the Par­a­dise plan for mor­tal sur­vival, which plan has been so en­hanced and il­lu­mi­nated by the life ex­pe­ri­ence of a be­stowal Son. Ev­ery fa­cil­ity and all power have been pro­vided for in­sur­ing your ul­ti­mate at­tain­ment of the Par­a­dise goal of di­vine per­fec­tion.

40:10.15[Pre­sented by a Mighty Mes­sen­ger tem­porar­ily at­tached to the staff of Ga­briel of Sal­ving­ton.]

107:1.7As the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther frag­men­tizes his preper­sonal De­ity, so does the In­fi­nite Spirit in­di­vid­u­ate por­tions of his pre­mind spirit to in­dwell and ac­tu­ally to fuse with the evo­lu­tion­ary souls of the sur­viv­ing mor­tals of the spirit-fu­sion se­ries. But the na­ture of the Eter­nal Son is not thus frag­mentable; the spirit of the Orig­i­nal Son is ei­ther dif­fuse or dis­cretely per­sonal. Son-fused crea­tures are united with in­di­vid­u­al­ized be­stowals of the spirit of the Cre­ator Sons of the Eter­nal Son.
