PAPER 31
THE CORPS OF THE FINALITY
31:0.1
THE Corps of Mortal Finaliters represents the present
known destination of the ascending Adjuster-fused
mortals of time. But there are other groups who are also
assigned to this corps. The primary finaliter corps is
composed of the following:
1. Havona Natives.
2. Gravity Messengers.
3. Glorified Mortals.
4. Adopted Seraphim.
5. Glorified Material Sons.
6. Glorified Midway Creatures.
31:0.2
These six groups of glorified beings compose this unique
body of eternal destiny. We think we know their future
work, but we are not certain. While the Corps of the
Mortal Finality is mobilizing on Paradise, and while
they now so extensively minister to the universes of
space and administer the worlds settled in light and
life, their future destination must be the
now-organizing universes of outer space. At least that
is the conjecture of Uversa.
31:0.3
The corps is organized in accordance with the working
associations of the worlds of space and in keeping with
the associative experience acquired throughout the long
and eventful ascendant career. All the ascendant
creatures admitted to this corps are received in
equality, but this exalted equality in no way abrogates
individuality or destroys personal identity. We can
immediately discern, in communicating with a finaliter,
whether he is an ascendant mortal, Havona native,
adopted seraphim, midway creature, or Material Son.
31:0.4
During the present universe age the finaliters return to
serve in the universes of time. They are assigned to
labor successively in the different superuniverses and
never in their native superuniverses until after they
have served in all the other six supercreations. Thus
may they acquire the sevenfold concept of the Supreme
Being.
31:0.5
One or more companies of the mortal finaliters are
constantly in service on Urantia. There is no domain of
universe service to which they are not assigned; they
function universally and with alternating and equal
periods of assigned duty and free service.
31:0.6
We have no idea as to the nature of the future
organization of this extraordinary group, but the
finaliters are now wholly a self-governing body. They
choose their own permanent, periodic, and assignment
leaders and directors. No outside influence can ever be
brought to bear upon their policies, and their oath of
allegiance is only to the Paradise Trinity.
31:0.7
The finaliters maintain their own headquarters on
Paradise, in the superuniverses, in the local universes,
and on all the divisional capitals. They are a separate
order of evolutionary creation. We do not directly
manage them or control them, and yet they are absolutely
loyal and always co-operative with all our plans. They
are indeed the accumulating tried and true souls of time
and space -- the evolutionary salt of the universe --
and they are forever proof against evil and secure
against sin.
1. THE HAVONA NATIVES
31:1.1
Many of the Havona natives who serve as teachers in the
pilgrim-training schools of the central universe become
greatly attached to the ascending mortals and still more
intrigued with the future work and destiny of the Corps
of Mortal Finaliters. On Paradise there is maintained,
at the administrative headquarters of the corps, a
registry for Havona volunteers presided over by the
associate of Grandfanda. Today, you will find millions
upon millions of Havona natives upon this waiting list.
These perfect beings of direct and divine creation are
of great assistance to the Mortal Corps of Finality, and
they will undoubtedly be of even greater service in the
far-distant future. They provide the viewpoint of one
born in perfection and divine repleteness. The
finaliters thus embrace both phases of experiential
existence -- perfect and perfected.
31:1.2
Havona natives must achieve certain experiential
developments in liaison with evolutionary beings which
will create reception capacity for the bestowal of a
fragment of the spirit of the Universal Father. The
Mortal Finaliter Corps has as permanent members only
such beings as have been fused with the spirit of the
First Source and Center, or who, like the Gravity
Messengers, innately embody this spirit of God the
Father.
31:1.3
The inhabitants of the central universe are received
into the corps in the ratio of one in a thousand -- a
finaliter company. The corps is organized for temporary
service in companies of one thousand, the ascendant
creatures numbering 997 to one Havona native and one
Gravity Messenger. Finaliters are thus mobilized in
companies, but the finality oath is administered
individually. It is an oath of sweeping implications and
eternal import. The Havona native takes the same oath
and becomes forever attached to the corps.
31:1.4
The Havona recruits follow the company of their
assignment; wherever the group goes, they go. And you
should see their enthusiasm in the new work of the
finaliters. The possibility of attaining the Corps of
the Finality is one of the superb thrills of Havona; the
possibility of becoming a finaliter is one of the
supreme adventures of these perfect races.
31:1.5
The Havona natives are also received, in the same ratio,
into the Corps of Conjoint Trinitized Finaliters on
Vicegerington and into the Corps of Transcendental
Finaliters on Paradise. The Havona citizens regard these
three destinies as constituting the supreme goals of
their supernal careers, together with their possible
admission to the Corps of Havona Finaliters.
2. GRAVITY MESSENGERS
31:2.1
Wherever and whenever Gravity Messengers are
functioning, the finaliters are in command. All Gravity
Messengers are under the exclusive jurisdiction of
Grandfanda, and they are assigned only to the primary
Corps of the Finality. They are invaluable to the
finaliters even now, and they will be all-serviceable in
the eternal future. No other group of intelligent
creatures possesses such a personalized messenger corps
able to transcend time and space. Similar types of
messenger-recorders attached to other finaliter corps
are not personalized; they are absonitized.
31:2.2
Gravity Messengers hail from Divinington, and they are
modified and personalized Adjusters, but no one of our
Uversa group will undertake to explain the nature of one
of these messengers. We know they are highly personal
beings, divine, intelligent, and touchingly
understanding, but we do not comprehend their timeless
technique of traversing space. They seem to be competent
to utilize any and all energies, circuits, and even
gravity. Finaliters of the mortal corps cannot defy time
and space, but they have associated with them and
subject to their command all but infinite spirit
personalities who can. We presume to call Gravity
Messengers personalities, but in reality they are
superspirit beings, unlimited and boundless
personalities. They are of an entirely different order
of personality as compared with Solitary Messengers.
31:2.3
Gravity Messengers may be attached to a finaliter
company in unlimited numbers, but only one messenger,
the chief of his fellows, is mustered into the Mortal
Corps of the Finality. This chief however has assigned
to him a permanent staff of 999 fellow messengers, and
as occasion may require, he may call upon the reserves
of the order for assistants in unlimited numbers.
31:2.4
Gravity Messengers and glorified mortal finaliters
achieve a touching and profound affection for one
another; they have much in common: One is a direct
personalization of a fragment of the Universal Father,
the other a creature personality existent in the
surviving immortal soul fused with a fragment of the
same Universal Father, the spirit Thought Adjuster.
3. GLORIFIED MORTALS
31:3.1
Ascendant Adjuster-fused mortals compose the bulk of the
primary Corps of the Finality. Together with the adopted
and glorified seraphim they usually constitute 990 in
each finaliter company. The proportion of mortals and
angels in any one group varies, though the mortals far
outnumber the seraphim. The Havona natives, glorified
Material Sons, glorified midway creatures, the Gravity
Messengers, and the unknown and missing member make up
only one per cent of the corps; each company of one
thousand finaliters has places for just ten of these
nonmortal and nonseraphic personalities.
31:3.2
We of Uversa do not know the "finality destiny" of the
ascendant mortals of time. At present they reside on
Paradise and temporarily serve in the Corps of Light and
Life, but such a tremendous course of ascendant training
and such lengthy universe discipline must be designed to
qualify them for even greater tests of trust and more
sublime services of responsibility.
31:3.3
Notwithstanding that these ascendant mortals have
attained Paradise, have been mustered into the Corps of
the Finality, and have been sent back in large numbers
to participate in the conduct of local universes and to
assist in the administration of superuniverse affairs --
in the face of even this
apparent
destiny, there remains the significant fact that they
are of record as only sixth-stage spirits. There
undoubtedly remains one more step in the career of the
Mortal Corps of the Finality. We do not know the nature
of that step, but we have taken cognizance of, and here
call attention to, three facts:
31:3.4
1. We know from the records that mortals are spirits of
the first order during their sojourn in the minor
sectors, and that they advance to the second order when
translated to the major sectors, and to the third when
they go forward to the central training worlds of the
superuniverse. Mortals become quartan or graduate
spirits after reaching the sixth circle of Havona and
become spirits of the fifth order when they find the
Universal Father. They subsequently attain the sixth
stage of spirit existence upon taking the oath that
musters them forever into the eternity assignment of the
Corps of the Mortal Finality.
31:3.5
We observe that spirit classification, or designation,
has been determined by actual advancement from one realm
of universe service to another realm of universe service
or from one universe to another universe; and we surmise
that the bestowal of seventh-spirit classification upon
the Mortal Corps of the Finality will be simultaneous
with their advancement to eternal assignment for service
on hitherto unrecorded and unrevealed spheres and
concomitant with their attainment of God the Supreme.
But aside from these bold conjectures, we really know no
more about all this than you do; our knowledge of the
mortal career does not go beyond present Paradise
destiny.
31:3.6
2. The mortal finaliters have fully complied with the
injunction of the ages, "Be you perfect"; they have
ascended the universal path of mortal attainment; they
have found God, and they have been duly inducted into
the Corps of the Finality. Such beings have attained the
present limit of spirit progression but not
finality of
ultimate spirit status. They have achieved the
present limit of creature perfection but not
finality of
creature service. They have experienced the fullness
of Deity worship but not
finality of
experiential Deity attainment.
31:3.7
3. The glorified mortals of the Paradise Corps of
Finality are ascendant beings in possession of
experiential knowledge of every step of the actuality
and philosophy of the fullest possible life of
intelligent existence, while during the ages of this
ascent from the lowest material worlds to the spiritual
heights of Paradise, these surviving creatures have been
trained to the limits of their capacity respecting every
detail of every divine principle of the just and
efficient, as well as merciful and patient,
administration of all the universal creation of time and
space.
31:3.8
We deem that human beings are entitled to share our
opinions, and that you are free to conjecture with us
respecting the mystery of the ultimate destiny of the
Paradise Corps of Finality. It seems evident to us that
the present assignments of the perfected evolutionary
creatures partake of the nature of postgraduate courses
in universe understanding and superuniverse
administration; and we all ask, "Why should the Gods be
so concerned in so thoroughly training surviving mortals
in the technique of universe management?"
4. ADOPTED SERAPHIM
31:4.1
Many of the faithful seraphic guardians of mortals are
permitted to go through the ascendant career with their
human wards, and many of these guardian angels, after
becoming Father fused, join their subjects in taking the
finaliter oath of eternity and forever accept the
destiny of their mortal associates. Angels who pass
through the ascending experience of mortal beings may
share the destiny of human nature; they may equally and
eternally be mustered into this Corps of the Finality.
Large numbers of the adopted and glorified seraphim are
attached to the various nonmortal finaliter corps.
5. GLORIFIED MATERIAL SONS
31:5.1
There is provision in the universes of time and space
whereby the Adamic citizens of the local systems, when
long delayed in receiving planetary assignment, may
initiate a petition for release from
permanent-citizenship status. And if granted, they join
the ascending pilgrims on the universe capitals and
thence proceed onward to Paradise and the Corps of the
Finality.
31:5.2
When an advanced evolutionary world attains the later
eras of the age of light and life, the Material Sons,
the Planetary Adam and Eve, may elect to humanize,
receive Adjusters, and embark upon the evolutionary
course of universe ascent leading to the Corps of Mortal
Finaliters. Certain of these Material Sons have
partially failed or technically defaulted in their
mission as biologic accelerators, as Adam did on
Urantia; and then are they compelled to take the natural
course of the peoples of the realm, receive Adjusters,
pass through death, and progress by faith through the
ascendant regime, subsequently attaining Paradise and
the Corps of the Finality.
31:5.3
These Material Sons are not to be found in many
finaliter companies. Their presence lends great
potential to the possibilities of high service for such
a group, and they are invariably chosen as its leaders.
If both of the Edenic pair are attached to the same
group, they are usually permitted to function jointly,
as one personality. Such ascendant pairs are far more
successful in the adventure of trinitizing than are the
ascendant mortals.
6. GLORIFIED MIDWAY CREATURES
31:6.1
On many planets the midway creatures are produced in
large numbers, but they seldom tarry on their native
world subsequent to its being settled in light and life.
Then, or soon thereafter, they are released from
permanent-citizenship status and start on the ascension
to Paradise, passing through the morontia worlds, the
superuniverse, and Havona in company with the mortals of
time and space.
31:6.2
The midway creatures from various universes differ
greatly in origin and nature, but they are all destined
to one or another of the Paradise finality corps. The
secondary midwayers are all eventually Adjuster fused
and are mustered into the mortal corps. Many finaliter
companies have one of these glorified beings in their
group.
7. THE EVANGELS OF LIGHT
31:7.1
At the present time every finaliter company numbers 999
personalities of oath status, permanent members. The
vacant place is occupied by the chief of attached
Evangels of Light assigned on any single mission. But
these beings are only transient members of the corps.
31:7.2
Any celestial personality assigned to the service of any
finaliter corps is denominated an Evangel of Light.
These beings do not take the finaliter oath, and though
subject to the corps organization they are not of
permanent attachment. This group may embrace Solitary
Messengers, supernaphim, seconaphim, Paradise Citizens,
or their trinitized offspring -- any being required in
the prosecution of a transient finaliter assignment.
Whether or not the corps is to have these beings
attached to the eternal mission, we do not know. At the
conclusion of attachment these Evangels of Light resume
their former status.
31:7.3
As the Mortal Corps of the Finality is at present
constituted, there are just six classes of permanent
members. The finaliters, as might be expected, engage in
much speculation as to the identity of their future
comrades, but there is little agreement among them.
31:7.4
We of Uversa often conjecture respecting the identity of
the seventh group of finaliters. We entertain many
ideas, embracing possible assignment of some of the
accumulating corps of the numerous trinitized groups on
Paradise, Vicegerington, and the inner Havona circuit.
It is even conjectured that the Corps of the Finality
may be permitted to trinitize many of their assistants
in the work of universe administration in the event they
are destined to the service of universes now in the
making.
31:7.5
One of us holds the opinion that this vacant place in
the corps will be filled by some type of being of origin
in the new universe of their future service; the other
inclines to the belief that this place will be occupied
by some type of Paradise personality not yet created,
eventuated, or trinitized. But we will most likely await
the entrance of the finaliters upon their seventh stage
of spirit attainment before we really know.
8. THE TRANSCENDENTALERS
31:8.1
Part of the perfected mortal's experience on Paradise as
a finaliter consists in the effort to achieve
comprehension of the nature and function of more than
one thousand groups of the transcendental supercitizens
of Paradise, eventuated beings of absonite attributes.
In their association with these superpersonalities, the
ascendant finaliters receive great assistance from the
helpful guidance of numerous orders of transcendental
ministers who are assigned to the task of introducing
the evolved finaliters to their new Paradise brethren.
The entire order of the Transcendentalers live in the
west of Paradise in a vast area which they exclusively
occupy.
31:8.2
In the discussion of Transcendentalers we are
restricted, not only by the limitations of human
comprehension, but also by the terms of the mandate
governing these disclosures concerning the personalities
of Paradise. These beings are in no way connected with
the mortal ascent to Havona. The vast host of the
Paradise Transcendentalers have nothing whatever to do
with the affairs of either Havona or the seven
superuniverses, being concerned only with the
superadministration of the affairs of the master
universe.
31:8.3
You, being a creature, can conceive of a Creator, but
you can hardly comprehend that there exists an enormous
and diversified aggregation of intelligent beings who
are neither Creators nor creatures. These
Transcendentalers create no beings, neither were they
ever created. In speaking of their origin, in order to
avoid using a new term -- an arbitrary and meaningless
designation -- we deem it best to say that
Transcendentalers simply
eventuate.
The Deity Absolute may well have been concerned in their
origin and may be implicated in their destiny, but these
unique beings are not now dominated by the Deity
Absolute. They are subject to God the Ultimate, and
their present Paradise sojourn is in every way Trinity
supervised and directed.
31:8.4
Although all mortals who attain Paradise frequently
fraternize with the Transcendentalers as they do with
the Paradise Citizens, it develops that man's first
serious contact with a Transcendentaler occurs on that
eventful occasion when, as a member of a new finaliter
group, the mortal ascender stands in the finaliter
receiving circle as the Trinity oath of eternity is
administered by the chief of Transcendentalers, the
presiding head of the Architects of the Master Universe.
9. ARCHITECTS OF THE MASTER UNIVERSE
31:9.1
The Architects of the Master Universe are the governing
corps of the Paradise Transcendentalers. This governing
corps numbers 28,011 personalities possessing master
minds, superb spirits, and supernal absonites. The
presiding officer of this magnificent group, the senior
Master Architect, is the co-ordinating head of all
Paradise intelligences below the level of Deity.
31:9.2
The sixteenth proscription of the mandate authorizing
these narratives says: "If deemed wise, the existence of
the Architects of the Master Universe and their
associates may be disclosed, but their origin, nature,
and destiny may not be fully revealed." We may, however,
inform you that these Master Architects exist in seven
levels of the absonite. These seven groups are
classified as follows:
31:9.3
1. The Paradise
Level. Only the senior or first-eventuated Architect
functions on this highest level of the absonite. This
ultimate personality -- neither Creator nor creature --
eventuated in the dawn of eternity and now functions as
the exquisite co-ordinator of Paradise and its
twenty-one worlds of associated activities.
31:9.4
2. The Havona
Level. The second Architect eventuation yielded
three master planners and absonite administrators, and
they have always been devoted to the co-ordination of
the one billion perfect spheres of the central universe.
Paradise tradition asserts that these three Architects,
with the counsel of the pre-eventuated senior Architect,
contributed to the planning of Havona, but we really do
not know.
31:9.5
3. The
Superuniverse Level. The third absonite level
embraces the seven Master Architects of the seven
superuniverses, who now, as a group, spend about equal
time in the company of the Seven Master Spirits on
Paradise and with the Seven Supreme Executives on the
seven special worlds of the Infinite Spirit. They are
the superco-ordinators of the grand universe.
31:9.6
4. The Primary
Space Level. This group numbers seventy Architects,
and we conjecture that they are concerned with the
ultimate plans for the first universe of outer space,
now mobilizing beyond the borders of the present seven
superuniverses.
31:9.7
5. The Secondary
Space Level. This fifth corps of Architects numbers
490, and again we conjecture that they must be concerned
with the second universe of outer space, where already
our physicists have detected definite energy
mobilizations.
31:9.8
6. The Tertiary
Space Level. This sixth group of Master Architects
numbers 3,430, and we likewise infer that they may be
occupied with the gigantic plans for the third universe
of outer space.
31:9.9
7. The Quartan
Space Level. This, the final and largest corps,
consists of 24,010 Master Architects, and if our former
conjectures are valid, it must be related to the fourth
and last of the ever-increasing-sized universes of outer
space.
31:9.10
These seven groups of Master Architects total 28,011
universe planners. On Paradise there is a tradition that
far back in eternity there was attempted the eventuation
of the 28,012th Master Architect, but that this being
failed to absonitize, experiencing personality seizure
by the Universal Absolute. It is possible that the
ascending series of the Master Architects attained the
limit of absonity in the 28,011th Architect, and that
the 28,012th attempt encountered the mathematical level
of the presence of the Absolute. In other words, at the
28,012th eventuation level the quality of absonity
equivalated to the level of the Universal and attained
the value of the Absolute.
31:9.11
In their functional organization the three supervising
Architects of Havona act as associate assistants to the
solitary Paradise Architect. The seven Architects of the
superuniverses act as co-ordinates of the three
supervisors of Havona. The seventy planners of the
universes of the primary outer space level are at
present serving as associate assistants to the seven
Architects of the seven superuniverses.
31:9.12
The Architects of the Master Universe have at their
disposal numerous groups of assistants and helpers,
including two vast orders of force organizers, the
primary eventuated and the associate transcendental.
These Master Force Organizers are not to be confused
with the power directors, who are germane to the grand
universe.
31:9.13
All beings produced by the union of the children of time
and eternity, such as the trinitized offspring of the
finaliters and the Paradise Citizens, become wards of
the Master Architects. But of all other creatures or
entities revealed as functioning in the present
organized universes, only Solitary Messengers and
Inspired Trinity Spirits maintain any organic
association with the Transcendentalers and the
Architects of the Master Universe.
31:9.14
The Master Architects contribute technical approval of
the assignment of the Creator Sons to their space sites
for the organization of the local universes. There is a
very close association between the Master Architects and
the Paradise Creator Sons, and while this relationship
is unrevealed, you have been informed of the association
of the Architects and the grand universe Supreme
Creators in the relationship of the first experiential
Trinity. These two groups, together with the evolving
and experiential Supreme Being, constitute the Trinity
Ultimate of transcendental values and master universe
meanings.
10. THE ULTIMATE ADVENTURE
31:10.1
The senior Master Architect has the oversight of the
seven Corps of the Finality, and they are:
1. The Corps of Mortal Finaliters.
2. The Corps of Paradise Finaliters.
3. The Corps of Trinitized Finaliters.
4. The Corps of Conjoint Trinitized Finaliters.
5. The Corps of Havona Finaliters.
6. The Corps of Transcendental Finaliters.
7. The Corps of Unrevealed Sons of Destiny.
31:10.2
Each of these destiny corps has a presiding head, and
the seven constitute the Supreme Council of Destiny on
Paradise; and during the present universe age Grandfanda
is the chief of this supreme body of universe assignment
for the children of ultimate destiny.
31:10.3
The gathering together of these seven finaliter corps
signifies reality mobilization of potentials,
personalities, minds, spirits, absonites, and
experiential actualities that probably transcend even
the future master universe functions of the Supreme
Being. These seven finaliter corps probably signify the
present activity of the Ultimate Trinity engaged in
mustering the forces of the finite and the absonite in
preparation for inconceivable developments in the
universes of outer space. Nothing like this mobilization
has taken place since the near times of eternity when
the Paradise Trinity similarly mobilized the then
existing personalities of Paradise and Havona and
commissioned them as administrators and rulers of the
projected seven superuniverses of time and space. The
seven finaliter corps represent the divinity response of
the grand universe to the future needs of the
undeveloped potentials in the outer universes of
future-eternal activities.
31:10.4
We venture the forecast of future and greater outer
universes of inhabited worlds, new spheres peopled with
new orders of exquisite and unique beings, a material
universe sublime in its ultimacy, a vast creation
lacking in only one important detail -- the presence of
actual finite
experience in the universal life of ascendant
existence. Such a universe will come into being under a
tremendous experiential handicap: the deprivation of
participation in the evolution of the Almighty Supreme.
These outer universes will all enjoy the matchless
ministry and supernal overcontrol of the Supreme Being,
but the very fact of his active presence precludes their
participation in the actualization of the Supreme Deity.
31:10.5
During the present universe age the evolving
personalities of the grand universe suffer many
difficulties due to the incomplete actualization of the
sovereignty of God the Supreme, but we are all sharing
the unique experience of his evolution. We evolve in him
and he evolves in us. Sometime in the eternal future the
evolution of Supreme Deity will become a completed fact
of universe history, and the opportunity to participate
in this wonderful experience will have passed from the
stage of cosmic action.
31:10.6
But those of us who have acquired this unique experience
during the youth of the universe will treasure it
throughout all future eternity. And many of us speculate
that it may be the mission of the gradually accumulating
reserves of the ascendant and perfected mortals of the
Corps of the Finality, in association with the other six
similarly recruiting corps, to administer these outer
universes in an effort to compensate their experiential
deficiencies in not having participated in the
time-space evolution of the Supreme Being.
31:10.7
These deficiencies are inevitable on all levels of
universe existence. During the present universe age we
of the higher levels of spiritual existences now come
down to administer the evolutionary universes and
minister to the ascending mortals, thus endeavoring to
atone for their deficiencies in the realities of the
higher spiritual experience.
31:10.8
But though we really know nothing about the plans of the
Architects of the Master Universe respecting these outer
creations, nevertheless, of three things we are certain:
31:10.9
1. There actually is a vast and new system of universes
gradually organizing in the domains of outer space. New
orders of physical creations, enormous and gigantic
circles of swarming universes upon universes far out
beyond the present bounds of the peopled and organized
creations, are actually visible through your telescopes.
At present, these outer creations are wholly physical;
they are apparently uninhabited and seem to be devoid of
creature administration.
31:10.10
2. For ages upon ages there continues the unexplained
and wholly mysterious Paradise mobilization of the
perfected and ascendant beings of time and space, in
association with the six other finaliter corps.
31:10.11
3. Concomitantly with these transactions the Supreme
Person of Deity is powerizing as the almighty sovereign
of the supercreations.
31:10.12
As we view this triune development, embracing creatures,
universes, and Deity, can we be criticized for
anticipating that something new and unrevealed is
approaching culmination in the master universe? Is it
not natural that we should associate this agelong
mobilization and organization of physical universes on
such a hitherto unknown scale and the personality
emergence of the Supreme Being with this stupendous
scheme of upstepping the mortals of time to divine
perfection and with their subsequent mobilization on
Paradise in the Corps of the Finality -- a designation
and destiny enshrouded in universe mystery? It is
increasingly the belief of all Uversa that the
assembling Corps of the Finality are destined to some
future service in the universes of outer space, where we
already are able to identify the clustering of at least
seventy thousand aggregations of matter, each of which
is greater than any one of the present superuniverses.
31:10.13
Evolutionary mortals are born on the planets of space,
pass through the morontia worlds, ascend the spirit
universes, traverse the Havona spheres, find God, attain
Paradise, and are mustered into the primary Corps of the
Finality, therein to await the next assignment of
universe service. There are six other assembling
finality corps, but Grandfanda, the first mortal
ascender, presides as Paradise chief of all orders of
finaliters. And as we view this sublime spectacle, we
all exclaim: What a glorious destiny for the
animal-origin children of time, the material sons of
space!

Name and Number authorized so to function by the
Ancients of Days on Uversa.

These thirty-one papers depicting the nature of Deity,
the reality of Paradise, the organization and working of
the central and superuniverses, the personalities of the
grand universe, and the high destiny of evolutionary
mortals, were sponsored, formulated, and put into
English by a high commission consisting of twenty-four
Orvonton administrators acting in accordance with a
mandate issued by the Ancients of Days of Uversa
directing that we should do this on Urantia, 606 of
Satania, in Norlatiadek of Nebadon, in the year A.D.
1934.
