THE PARADISE SONS OF GOD
As they function in the superuniverse of Orvonton, the Sons of God are classified under three general heads:
- The Descending Sons of God.
- The Ascending Sons of God.
- The Trinitized Sons of God.

All descending Sons of God have high and divine origins. They are dedicated to the descending ministry of service on the worlds and systems of time and space, there to facilitate the progress in the Paradise climb of the lowly creatures of evolutionary origin—the ascending sons of God.

- Creator Sons—the Michaels.
- Magisterial Sons—the Avonals.
- Trinity Teacher Sons—the Daynals.

- Melchizedek Sons.
- Vorondadek Sons.
- Lanonandek Sons.
- The Life Carriers.

Vorondadeks are best known as the Most Highs, the Constellation Fathers; Lanonandeks as System Sovereigns and as Planetary Princes. The threefold order of Life Carriers is brought into being by a Creator Son and Creative Spirit as-
