Paper 31 Overview: The Corps of the Finality

The Corps of the Finality represents the presently revealed destiny of Adjuster-fused ascending mortals, though six other groups also comprise this unique organization: Havona Natives, Gravity Messengers, Glorified Mortals, Adopted Seraphim, Glorified Material Sons, and Glorified Midway Creatures. This distinctive body operates on principles of egalitarian reception while preserving individual identity, serving throughout the universes in alternating periods of assigned duty and free service. Though fully self-governing and independent of outside influences, the finaliters demonstrate absolute loyalty to the Paradise Trinity and collaborate with all universe plans.

The evidence strongly suggests that the Corps of the Finality is being prepared for profound service beyond the current boundaries of the grand universe, specifically in the vast domains of outer space currently under organization. This ultimate adventure appears to be the next phase in the progressive scheme of divinity development, whereby these veteran souls of time and space, having acquired the experiential wisdom from participating in the evolution of the Supreme Being, may compensate for the experiential deficiency in these nascent outer creations. The convergence of physical universe organization, the mobilization of perfected beings in the seven finaliter corps, and the emergence of the Supreme Being as sovereign of the supercreations collectively point toward this cosmic eventuality of transcendent significance.

The Corps of Mortal Finaliters represents the present known destination of ascending Adjuster-fused mortals of time, though it is not the exclusive domain of these evolutionary pilgrims. The primary finaliter corps encompasses six additional classifications of glorified beings: Havona Natives, divine citizens of the perfect central universe; Gravity Messengers, specialized and personalized beings with unique time-space transcendence capabilities; Glorified Mortals, the predominant constituent of the corps; Adopted Seraphim, angelic beings who have shared the ascendant journey; Glorified Material Sons, advanced or rehabilitated Adamic beings; and Glorified Midway Creatures, planetary beings of intermediary nature who have attained Paradise status.

These six diverse orders compose a singular body of eternal destiny whose future mission, while not definitively known, appears directed toward the universes of outer space currently in formative stages. While the Corps of the Mortal Finality mobilizes on Paradise, they simultaneously render extensive service throughout the space domains, particularly on worlds that have achieved the advanced status of light and life settlement. The corps maintains organizational equality among its diverse membership while preserving the distinctive qualities that allow immediate recognition of an individual's evolutionary or created origin, whether ascendant mortal, Havona native, adopted seraphim, midway creature, or Material Son.

Many Havona natives who function as instructors in the pilgrim-training institutions of the central universe develop profound attachments to the ascending mortals and become deeply intrigued with the prospective work and destiny of the Corps of Mortal Finaliters. On Paradise, at the administrative headquarters of the corps, a registry of Havona volunteers is maintained under the supervision of Grandfanda's associate. This waiting list currently contains millions of these perfect beings of direct and divine creation who provide invaluable assistance to the Mortal Corps of Finality, offering the complementary perspective of beings born in perfection to balance the experiential viewpoint of perfected evolutionary creatures.

Havona natives must undergo specific experiential developments in collaborative relationship with evolutionary beings to create capacity for receiving a fragment of the Universal Father's spirit. The Mortal Finaliter Corps accepts as permanent members only those beings who have achieved fusion with the spirit of the First Source and Center or who, like the Gravity Messengers, inherently embody this paternal spirit essence. The inhabitants of the central universe are admitted to the corps at a ratio of one per thousand—one Havona native joining 997 ascendant creatures and one Gravity Messenger to form a finaliter company of one thousand.

While companies are organized for temporary service, the finality oath, with its sweeping implications and eternal significance, is administered individually. Upon taking this oath, the Havona native becomes permanently affiliated with the corps, sharing in its assignments with remarkable enthusiasm and considering the possibility of finaliter membership among the supreme thrills of Havona existence and one of the supreme adventures available to these otherwise perfect races.

Whenever and wherever Gravity Messengers function within the universal domains, the finaliters invariably exercise command authority. These specialized beings operate exclusively under the jurisdiction of Grandfanda and are assigned solely to the primary Corps of the Finality. Their value to the finaliters is immeasurable in current operations and will prove even more significant in the eternal future, as no other group of intelligent creatures possesses such a personalized messenger cohort capable of transcending the conventional limitations of time and space in their operations.

Gravity Messengers originate from Divinington and represent modified and personalized Adjusters, though none of the Uversa observers would attempt to explain the precise nature of these extraordinary messengers. They manifest as highly personal beings—divine, intelligent, and empathetically understanding—yet their timeless methodology for traversing spatial distances remains incomprehensible. They appear to possess the capacity to utilize every form of energy, all universal circuits, and even gravity itself. While the mortal finaliters cannot personally overcome time-space limitations, they have affiliated with them these virtually unlimited spirit personalities who function under their command.

Gravity Messengers represent superspirit beings, unrestricted and boundless personalities of an entirely different order compared to Solitary Messengers. These messengers and glorified mortal finaliters develop profound affection for one another, sharing a fundamental connection to the Universal Father: one as a direct personalization of a fragment of the Father's primal essence, the other as a creature personality whose immortal soul has fused with such a divine fragment.

Ascendant Adjuster-fused mortals constitute the predominant component of the primary Corps of the Finality. Combined with the adopted and glorified seraphim, they typically represent 990 members of each finaliter company of one thousand. The proportion of mortals to angels varies between companies, though mortals consistently and substantially outnumber the seraphic members. The remaining diverse personalities—Havona natives, glorified Material Sons, glorified midway creatures, Gravity Messengers, and the enigmatic missing member—collectively account for just one percent of the corps, with each finaliter company accommodating exactly ten of these non-mortal and non-seraphic beings.

The cosmic administrators of Uversa acknowledge their uncertainty regarding the "finality destiny" of these ascendant mortals. They currently reside on Paradise and serve temporarily in the Corps of Light and Life, but such extensive ascendant training and universe discipline logically presage even greater tests of trust and more sublime responsibilities of service. Despite having reached Paradise, been incorporated into the Corps of the Finality, and been dispatched throughout the universes to assist in administration, these ascendant mortals remain classified as merely sixth-stage spirits, a significant fact suggesting one additional step awaits in their cosmic career.

Three pertinent observations reinforce this conclusion: first, mortals progress through defined spirit classifications as they advance through the universe, and a seventh-stage classification seems a logical culmination; second, though they have fulfilled the injunction to "be perfect" and attained the limits of current spirit progression, they have not achieved ultimate spirit status or finality of creature service; third, these glorified mortals have gained experiential knowledge of every aspect of universe reality yet continue to receive training in preparation for an as-yet-unrevealed destiny.

Many of the faithful seraphic guardians of mortal beings receive permission to accompany their human wards through the entire ascendant journey. Numerous guardian angels, after achieving Father fusion, join their mortal subjects in taking the finaliter oath of eternity and forever accepting the unified destiny of their associates. These angels, having experienced the ascending reality of mortal existence, may fully share in human evolutionary nature and destiny through this permanent incorporation into the finaliter corps.

These adopted and glorified seraphim become eternally mustered into this Corps of the Finality on equal standing with their mortal companions. Substantial numbers of these transformed angels also become attached to various non-mortal finaliter corps, creating a web of experiential relationships between different orders of universe beings. This arrangement not only honors the dedicated service of guardian seraphim but also enriches the finaliter companies with the unique perspectives and abilities these angelic beings contribute to their eternal mission.

Within the universes of time and space, provisions exist whereby Adamic citizens of local systems who experience extended delays in planetary assignment may petition for release from permanent-citizenship status. If such petitions receive approval, these Material Sons join the ascending pilgrims at the universe capitals and subsequently proceed to Paradise and potential incorporation into the Corps of the Finality. Similarly, when an evolutionary world attains the advanced epochs of the light and life age, the Material Sons, the planetary Adam and Eve, may elect to humanize, receive Thought Adjusters, and embark upon the progressive evolutionary course of universe ascent culminating in the Corps of Mortal Finaliters.

Certain Material Sons have experienced partial failure or technical default in their biologic acceleration mission, as exemplified by Adam on Urantia. In such circumstances, these beings must follow the natural evolutionary progression of the realm's peoples, receiving Adjusters, experiencing physical death, advancing by faith through the ascendant regime, eventually attaining Paradise, and joining the Corps of the Finality. These Material Sons appear infrequently in finaliter companies, but their presence contributes exceptional potential for high service, invariably resulting in their selection as company leaders. When both members of an Edenic pair become attached to the same group, they typically receive permission to function as a unified personality, demonstrating significantly greater success in trinitizing endeavors than ascendant mortals.

On numerous planetary spheres, midway creatures emerge in substantial numbers, yet they rarely maintain residence on their native worlds once these achieve settlement in light and life. Shortly after this planetary milestone, they receive release from permanent-citizenship status and commence their Paradise ascension, traversing the morontia realms, the superuniverse domains, and Havona in the company of the time-space mortals from their world of origin.

The midway creatures from various universe sectors display considerable diversity in their origins and intrinsic natures, yet all ultimately become associated with one of the Paradise finality corps. The secondary midwayers invariably achieve Adjuster fusion and subsequent incorporation into the mortal corps. Many finaliter companies include one of these glorified intermediary beings, whose unique perspective and abilities enhance the functional capacity of these destiny groups. This progression demonstrates the universal pattern whereby even beings of specialized planetary function can ultimately attain the heights of Paradise service.

In its current composition, each finaliter company comprises 999 personalities of oath status who serve as permanent members. The remaining position becomes occupied by the chief of attached Evangels of Light assigned to any particular mission, though these beings function only as transient members of the corps. Any celestial personality designated to serve with a finaliter corps receives the classification "Evangel of Light," though these beings do not participate in the finaliter oath and maintain only temporary affiliation with the corps organization.

This transitional group may encompass Solitary Messengers, supernaphim, seconaphim, Paradise Citizens, or their trinitized offspring—essentially any being whose specialized capabilities are required for specific finaliter assignments. Whether these diverse personalities will eventually receive permanent attachment to the eternal finaliter mission remains undetermined. As presently constituted, the Mortal Corps of the Finality maintains just six classifications of permanent members, prompting considerable speculation among finaliters themselves regarding the identity of their prospective future companions. The observers from Uversa entertain various theories, including the possibility that the seventh group might emerge from the trinitized beings accumulating on Paradise, Vicegerington, and the inner Havona circuit, or perhaps from beings not yet created, eventuated, or trinitized.

An essential aspect of the perfected mortal's Paradise experience as a finaliter involves the endeavor to comprehend the nature and function of more than one thousand groups of transcendental supercitizens of Paradise—eventuated beings of absonite attributes. In their interactions with these superpersonalities, ascending finaliters receive substantial assistance from numerous orders of transcendental ministers specifically assigned to facilitate the introduction of evolved finaliters to their new Paradise associates. The entire order of Transcendentalers occupies an extensive region in the western sector of Paradise, an area exclusively reserved for their habitation.

In discussing the Transcendentalers, revelatory limitations arise not merely from human comprehension constraints but also specific mandates governing disclosures about Paradise personalities. These extraordinary beings maintain no connection with the mortal ascent to Havona and remain uninvolved with the administrative affairs of the seven superuniverses, focusing exclusively on the superadministration of the master universe. While mortals who achieve Paradise frequently engage in fraternal association with Transcendentalers, their first profound contact typically occurs during the solemn occasion when, as members of a newly formed finaliter group, they stand in the finaliter receiving circle as the Trinity oath of eternity is administered by the chief of Transcendentalers, who presides as head of the Architects of the Master Universe.

The Architects of the Master Universe constitute the governing corps of the Paradise Transcendentalers, comprising 28,011 personalities endowed with master minds, superb spirits, and supernal absonite capabilities. The senior Master Architect functions as the coordinating administrative head of all Paradise intelligences below Deity level. These Master Architects exist across seven levels of the absonite, structured according to their cosmic responsibilities and functional domains within the universal organizational hierarchy.

The Paradise level encompasses solely the senior or first-eventuated Architect, who functions as the exquisite coordinator of Paradise and its twenty-one associated worlds of activity. The Havona level includes three master planners and absonite administrators dedicated to harmonizing the one billion perfect spheres of the central universe. The superuniverse level embraces the seven Master Architects who serve as super-coordinators of the grand universe, dividing their time between the Seven Master Spirits on Paradise and the Seven Supreme Executives on the special worlds of the Infinite Spirit.

The remaining four levels, primary, secondary, tertiary, and quartan space levels, contain progressively larger groups of Architects (70, 490, 3,430, and 24,010 respectively) presumably engaged in planning the four tiers of increasingly vast universes of outer space currently mobilizing beyond the boundaries of the present creation. The Master Architects contribute technical approval for Creator Sons' space site assignments for local universe organization and maintain close association with these Paradise Creator Sons, collectively forming with the evolving Supreme Being the Trinity Ultimate of transcendental values and master universe meanings.

The senior Master Architect exercises oversight responsibility for the seven Corps of the Finality: the Corps of Mortal Finaliters, the Corps of Paradise Finaliters, the Corps of Trinitized Finaliters, the Corps of Conjoint Trinitized Finaliters, the Corps of Havona Finaliters, the Corps of Transcendental Finaliters, and the Corps of Unrevealed Sons of Destiny. Each of these destiny corps operates under a presiding head, and collectively these seven leaders constitute the Supreme Council of Destiny on Paradise, currently presided over by Grandfanda, the first mortal ascender, during this universe age.

The convergence of these seven finaliter corps signifies the mobilization of potentials, personalities, minds, spirits, absonites, and experiential actualities that likely transcend even the projected future functions of the Supreme Being in the master universe. This unprecedented mobilization appears to represent the activities of the Ultimate Trinity marshaling finite and absonite forces in preparation for inconceivable developments in the universes of outer space. The cosmic observers venture to forecast the emergence of future greater outer universes of inhabited worlds; sublime material creations that will possess everything except one crucial element: the actual finite experience of universal evolutionary existence.

The evolutionary creatures of the present universe, having participated in the actualization of the Supreme Being, may eventually administer these outer creations, compensating through their experiential wisdom for the developmental handicap these new universes will face in not having evolved with the Supreme. Mortal ascenders begin on planetary spheres, progress through the morontia worlds, traverse the spirit universes, complete the Havona circuit, find God, attain Paradise, and join the Corps of the Finality, therein to await the next assignment of universe service as participants in the sublime spectacle that represents the glorious destiny for the animal-origin children of time and material sons of space.
