This week we begin Urantia Paper 40: The Ascending Sons of God. Do you want to ascend? The author of this amazing paper is a Mighty Messenger who makes this astonishing statement: "These presentations began with a description of the Deities, and group by group, the narrative has descended the universal scale of living beings until it has reached the lowest order of life endowed with the potential of immortality; and now am I dispatched from Salvington—onetime a mortal of origin on an evolutionary world of space—to elaborate and continue the recital of the eternal purpose of the Gods respecting the ascending orders of sonship, more particularly with regard to the mortal creatures of time and space." As mortal beings, we start out as far away from Paradise perfection as one can get. We then ascend through time and space to the portals of eternity. However, others beings ascend as well. This paper reveals the ascension of the following: Evolutionary Seraphim, Ascending Material Sons, Translated Midwayers, Personalized Adjusters, Mortals of Time and Space, The Faith Sons of God, Father-Fused Mortals, Son-Fused Mortals, Spirit-Fused Mortals, and Ascendant Destinies. We have discussed many of these personalities in past episodes. This paper begins the narrative of the ascendant adventure that begins at mortal death.  The Mighty Messenger tells us, "Mortals represent the last link in the chain of those beings who are called sons of God. The personal touch of the Original and Eternal Son passes on down through a series of decreasingly divine and increasingly human personalizations until there arrives a being much like yourselves, one you can see, hear, and touch. And then you are made spiritually aware of the great truth which your faith may grasp—sonship with the eternal God! We hope you will tune in!
