The Counselors and Advisers
The superaphic counselors and advisers of the second circle
are the instructors of the ascendant souls regarding the career
of eternity. Responsibilities on Paradise are of a new and
higher order, and the sojourn on the second circuit affords ample
opportunity to receive the helpful counsel of these supernaphim.
Those who are unsuccessful in the first try of attaining the
Deity are advanced from the circle of failure to the second
circle before they are returned to superuniverse service. For
those ascendants, there will be another day and another chance.
And as we have been informed, no candidate ever failed on the
second attempt.
“For the successful pilgrims on the second circuit the
stimulus of evolutionary uncertainty is over, but the adventure
of eternal assignment has not yet begun; and while the sojourn on
this circle is wholly pleasurable and highly profitable, it lacks
some of the anticipative enthusiasm of the former circles. Many
are the pilgrims who, at such a time, look back upon the long,
long struggle with a joyous envy, really wishing they might
somehow go back to the worlds of time and begin it all over
again, just as you mortals, in approaching advanced age,
sometimes look back over the struggles of youth and early life
and truly wish you might live your lives over once again.”
There is one more circle to traverse, and it will end in a
great and final rest, “… the inevitable sleep which ever
intervenes between the epochal stages of the ascendant career.”
At the completion of the second circuit, the Graduate Guides
issue the order to admit the pilgrims to the final circle. These
guides personally pilot their subject to the inner circle and
there place them in the custody of the complements of rest.
