Urantia Book [|Paper 20]:2. [|THE MAGISTERIAL SONS]
20:2.3 Avonals are the Paradise Sons of [|service] and [|bestowal] to the [|individual] [|planets] of the [|local universes]. And since each Avonal Son has an exclusive [|personality], since no two are alike, their [|work] is individually [|unique] in the realms of their sojourn, where they are often [|incarnated] in the likeness of [|mortal] [|flesh] and sometimes are born of [|earthly] [|mothers] on the [|evolutionary worlds].

20:2.4 In addition to their [|services] on the higher [|administrative] levels, the Avonals have a threefold [|function] on the inhabited worlds:
 * 1. 20:2.5 //[|Judicial] Actions//. They [|act] at the close of the planetary [|dispensations]. In time, scores—hundreds—of such missions may be [|executed] on each [|individual] world, and they may go to the same or to other worlds times without [|number] as dispensation terminators, liberators of the sleeping survivors.
 * 2. 20:2.6 //Magisterial Missions//. A [|planetary] visitation of this [|type] usually occurs prior to the arrival of a [|bestowal Son]. On such a mission an Avonal appears as an adult of the realm by a [|technique] of [|incarnation] not involving [|mortal] [|birth]. Subsequent to this first and usual magisterial visit, Avonals may repeatedly serve in a [|magisterial] capacity on the same [|planet] both before and after the [|appearance] of the [|bestowal Son]. On these additional magisterial missions an Avonal may or may not appear in [|material] and visible [|form], but on none of them will he be born into the world as a helpless babe.
 * 3. 20:2.7 //[|Bestowal Missions]//. The Avonal Sons do all, at least once, bestow themselves upon some [|mortal] [|race] on some [|evolutionary world]. Judicial visits are numerous, magisterial missions may be plural, but on each [|planet] there appears but one [|bestowal Son]. Bestowal Avonals are born of [|woman] as [|Michael] of [|Nebadon] was [|incarnated] on [|Urantia].

20:2.8 There is no [|limit] to the number of times the Avonal Sons may serve on magisterial and on bestowal missions, but usually, when the [|experience] has been [|seven] times traversed, there is suspension in favor of those who have had less of such [|service]. These Sons of multiple bestowal experience are then assigned to the high [|personal] council of a [|Creator Son], thus becoming [|participants] in the [|administration] of [|universe] affairs.

20:2.9...In every planetary effort the secondary [|Paradise Sons], the //Avonals//, are supported by the full [|power] and [|authority] of a primary Paradise Son, the [|Creator Son] of their [|local universe] of [|service]. To all [|intents] and [|purposes] their [|work] on the [|inhabited spheres] is just as [|effective] and acceptable as would have been the [|service] of a [|Creator Son] upon such worlds of mortal habitation.
