There are seven classes of ascending sons.
The non-mortal classes include evolutionary seraphim, ascending Material
Sons, translated midwayers, and Personalized Adjusters. The mortal classes
of ascending sons are Father-fused mortals, Son-fused mortals, and Spirit-fused
mortals.
Mortals are also classified according
to their type of Adjuster. Series one mortals are indwelt with transient
Adjusters. This is a temporary series, appearing during the early eras
of some inhabited worlds. Series one Adjusters contribute much to the
advancement of primitive men but are unable to achieve union with them.
Series two mortals are also unable to
attain eternal union with Adjusters. Many non‑breathers belong
to this series, along with many other groups who do not usually fuse
with Adjusters. These mortals are often indwelt by virgin Adjusters.
It is unknown why these beings cannot fuse with the Father fragments.
Series three are mortals of Adjuster‑fusion
potential. They are all of animal origin, and may be one‑brained,
two‑brained, or three‑brained. Nearly all surviving mortals
fuse with their Adjusters during their sojourn on the mansion worlds,
thereby entering a career of nearly limitless universe service. Since
Thought Adjusters take origin in the Father, they do not cease striving
until the mortal of their indwelling stands face to face with God.
Mortals who fail to attain fusion with
their Adjuster may become fused with a fragment of the spirit of the
Creator Son. These Son-fused mortals are rare, numbering less than one
million in Orvonton. They usually live permanently in the superuniverse
of their birth. The wisdom of Son-fused mortals is a vital factor in
the settling of a universe.
Spirit‑fused mortals are those who
fuse with the spirit of the Third Source and Center. When they arrive
in the resurrection halls of the morontia spheres they are like newly
created beings, without human memory. Spirit‑fused mortals are
permanent citizens of the local universes.
God loves each of his sons alike, and
his love utterly eclipses all other facts. All souls of every possible
phase of mortal existence will survive, provided they cooperate with
their indwelling Adjusters and desire to find God and to attain divine
perfection.
