Perfected Soul

Occurrences: 3

First Reference: Enlightenment 9:3

And when all was completed and the world in readiness stood forth to greet the coming out of many spirits, behold, Shaemdiel did gather about him the Perfected Souls of his own lineage, and with them attended a multitude of ministering angels.

See: Elohim, El Shaloah/Shalon (House of)

Summary: The phrase “Perfected Soul” refers to the second of five offices within the Houses of El Shalon (Patriarchal) and El Shaloah (Matriarchal). Those who have previously achieved their exaltation in the Celestial Kingdom and have graduated from the office of “Soul of the Just Made Perfect” are entered into the office of Perfected Soul. At times, scripture refers to individuals as Perfected Souls, indicating their position along the pathway of exaltation.

All exalted couples inducted into the Houses of El Shalon and El Shaloah are beings of pure exalted spirit; they do not possess physical bodies like those of ministering angels or the more glorified Arch-Angels of the Celestial Kingdom. All things produce after their own kind; spirit produces spirit. As Perfected Souls (and eternal Beloveds), the exalted couple steps into the role of become Heavenly Parents by bringing forth spirit children of their own (see: El Shaloah / El Shalon).

Notes/References:

And even though the Teraphim should yet prove unable to produce spirit children after their own likeness, yet shall we continue in preparing the way before them, even till they should receive a fullness of our image and likeness together;

To become themselves, if they will desire and persevere, even as Perfected Souls, becoming themselves in every similitude like unto the Father and Mother which brought them forth in the midst of love and fire and tender passions.
