The Sublime Adventure – LII. Havona (7 of 10)
Date Posted: April 23rd, 2009
The Son Finders
The fourth Havona circuit is sometimes called the “circuits
of the Sons.” From the worlds of this circuit, the pilgrims of
space go to Paradise to achieve an understanding contact with the
Eternal Son.
It is on these worlds that ascending souls will meet with
the descending pilgrims, the Michael Sons; both the pilgrims of
time and the pilgrims of eternity arrive at their first truly
mutual understanding of one another. “In many respects the
experiences of this circuit are the most intriguing of the entire
Havona sojourn.”
What follows is perhaps the most important part in the
entire Urantia Book. I therefore take a back seat and let the
Perfector of Wisdom who presented this paper do the talking.
“The Son finders are the superaphic ministers to the
ascending mortals of the fourth circuit. In addition to the
general work of preparing their candidates for a realization of
the Trinity relationships of the Eternal Son, these Son finders
must so fully instruct their subjects that they will be wholly
successful: first, in the adequate spiritual comprehension of the
Son; second, in the satisfactory personality recognition of the
Son; and third, in the proper differentiation of the Son from
the personality of the Infinite Spirit.”
“After the attainment of the Infinite Spirit, no more
examination are conducted. The tests of the inner circles are
the performances of the pilgrim candidates when in the embrace of
the enshroudment of the Deities. Advancement is determined
purely by the spirituality of the individual, and no one but the
Gods presumes to pass upon this possession. In the event of
failure no reasons are ever assigned, neither are the candidates
themselves nor their various tutors and guides ever chided or
criticized. On Paradise, disappointment is never regarded as
defeat; postponement is never looked upon as disgrace; the
apparent failures of time are never confused with the significant
delays of eternity.”
“Not many pilgrims experience the delay of seeming failure
in the Deity adventure. Nearly all attain the Infinite Spirit,
though occasionally a pilgrim from superuniverse number one does
not succeed on the first attempt. The pilgrims who attain the
Spirit seldom fail in finding the Son; of those who do fail on
the first adventure, almost all hail from superuniverses three
and five. The great majority of those who fail on the first
adventure to attain the Father, after finding both the Spirit and
the Son, hail from superuniverse number six, though a few from
numbers two and three are likewise unsuccessful. And all this
seems clearly to indicate that there is some good and sufficient
reason for these apparent failures; in reality, simply
unescapable delays.”
“The defeated candidates for the Deity adventure are placed
under the jurisdiction of the chiefs of assignment, a group of
primary supernaphim, and are remanded to the work of the realms
of space for a period of not less than one millennium. They
never return to the superuniverse of their nativity, always to
that supercreation most propitious to their retraining in
preparation for the second Deity adventure. Following this
service, on their own motion, they return to the outer circle of
Havona, are immediately escorted to the circle of their
interrupted career, and at once resume their preparations for the
Deity adventure. Never do the secondary supernaphim fail to
pilot their subjects successfully on the second attempt, and the
same superaphic ministers and other guides always attend these
candidates during this second adventure.” [P293 & 294].
