Subject: What Is The Name Of This World. Part 4 of 4. Oct. 13, 2008.
Some people call this world "The Veil Of Tears."
With the emergence of human groupings, this Planetary Prince arrives
to inaugurate human civilization and to focalize human society. Your
world of confusion is no criterion of the early days of the reign of
the Planetary Princes, for it was near the beginning of such an
administration on Urantia that your Planetary Prince, Caligastia, cast
his lot with the rebellion of the System Sovereign, Lucifer. Your
planet has pursued a stormy course ever since.
On a normal e-olutionary world, racial progress attains its natural
biologic peak during the regime of the Planetary Prince, and shortly
thereafter the System Sovereign dispatches a Material Son and Daughter
to that planet. These im****ted beings are of service as biologic
uplifters; their default on Urantia further complicated your planetary
history.
When the intellectual and ethical progress of a human r-ce has
reached the limits of ev-lutionary development, there comes an Avonal
Son of Paradise on a magisterial mission; and later on, when the
spi-itual status of such a world is nearing its limit of natural
attainment, the planet is visited by a Paradise bestowal Son. The
chief mission of a bestowal Son is to establish the planetary status,
release the S-irit of Truth for planetary function, and thus effect
the universal coming of the Thought Adjusters.
Here, again, Urantia deviates: There has never been a magisterial
mission on your world, neither was your bestowal Son of the Avonal
order; your planet enjoyed the signal honor of becoming the mortal
home planet of the Sovereign Son, Michael of Nebadon.
As a result of the ministry of all the successive orders of d-vine
son****p, the inhabited worlds and their advancing ra-es begin to
approach the apex of planetary evolu-ion. Such worlds now become ripe
for the culminating mission, the arrival of the Trinity Teacher Sons.
This epoch of the Teacher Sons is the vestibule to the final planetary
age--evol-tionary utopia--the age of light and life.
This classification of human beings will receive particular
attention in a succeeding paper.
5. Creature-kin****p serials. Planets are not only organized
vertically into systems, constellations, and so on, but the universe
administration also provides for horizontal groupings according to
type, series, and other relation****ps. This lateral administration of
the universe pertains more particularly to the co-ordination of
activities of a kindred nature which have been independently fostered
on different spheres. These related cl***** of universe creatures are
Page 568
periodically inspected by certain composite corps of high personalities
presided over by long-experienced finaliters.
These kin****p factors are manifest on all levels, for kin****p
serials exist among nonhuman personalities as well as among mortal
creatures--even between human and superhuman orders. Intelligent
beings are vertically related in twelve great groups of seven major
divisions each. The co-ordination of these uniquely related groups of
living beings is probably effected by some not fully comprehended
technique of the Supreme Being.
6. Adjuster-fusion series. The spir-tual classification or grouping
of all mortals during their prefusion experience is wholly determined
by the relation of the personality status to the indwelling Mystery
Monitor. Almost ninety per cent of the inhabited worlds of Nebadon are
peopled with Adjuster-fusion mortals in contrast with a near-by
universe where scarcely more than one half of the worlds harbor beings
who are Adjuster-indwelt candidates for eternal fusion.
7. "Techniques of terrestrial escape." There is fundamentally only
one way in which individual human life can be initiated on the
inhabited worlds, and that is through creature procreation and natural
birth; but there are numerous techniques whereby man escapes his
terrestrial status and gains access to the inward moving stream of
Paradise ascenders.
6. "TERRESTRIAL ESCAPE"
All of the differing physical types and planetary series of mortals
alike enjoy the ministry of Thought Adjusters, guardian a-gels, and
`the various orders of the messenger hosts of the Infinite Spir-t. All
alike are liberated from the bonds of flesh by the emancipation of
natural d-ath, and all alike go thence to the morontia worlds of
spi-itual evol-tion and mind progress.
From time to time, on motion of the planetary authorities or the
system rulers, special resurrections of the sleeping survivors are
conducted. Such resurrections occur at least every millennium of
planetry time, when not all but "many of those who sleep in the dust
awake." These special resurrections are the occasion for mobilizing
special groups of ascenders for specific service in the local universe
plan of mortal ascension. There are both practical reasons and
sentimental associations connected with these special resurrections.
Throughout the earlier ages of an inhabited world, many are called
to the mansion spheres at the special and the millennial resurrections,
but most survivors are repersonalized at the inauguration of a new
dispensation associated with the advent of a di-ine Son of planetary
service.
1. "Mortals of the dispensational or group order of survival." With
the arrival of the first Adjuster on an inhabited world the guardian
seraphim also make their appearance; they are indispensable to
terrestrial escape. Throughout the life-lapse period of the sleeping
survivors the spirit-al values and eternal realities of their newly
ev-lved and immortal so-ls are held as a sacred trust by the personal
or by the group guardian seraphim.
The group guardians of assignment to the sleeping survivors always
function with the judgment Sons on their world advents. "He shall send
his ange-s,
Page 569
and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds." With
each seraphim of assignment to the repersonalization of a sleeping
mortal there functions the returned Adjuster, the same immortal Father
fragment that lived in him during the days in the flesh, and thus is
identity restored and personality resurrected. During the sleep of
their subjects these waiting Adjusters serve on Divinington; they
never indwell another mortal mind in this interim.
While the older worlds of mortal existence harbor those highly
developed and exquisitely spi-itual types of human beings who are
virtually exempt from the morontia life, the earlier ages of the
animal-origin ra-es are characterized by primitive mortals who are so
immature that fusion with their Adjusters is impossible. The
reawakening of these mortals is accomplished by the guardian seraphim
in conjunction with an individualized ****tion of the immortal spi-it
of the Third Source and Center.
Thus are the sleeping survivors of a planetary age repersonalized in
the dispensational roll calls. But with regard to the nonsalvable
personalities of a realm, no immortal spir-t is present to function
with the group guardians of destiny, and this constitutes cessation of
creature existence. While some of your records have pictured these
events as taking place on the planets of mortal de-th, they all really
occur on the mansion worlds.
2. "Mortals of the individual orders of ascension." The individual
progress of human beings is measured by their successive attainment
and traversal (mastery) of the seven cosmic circles. These circles of
mortal progression are levels of associated intellectual, social,
spi-itual, and cosmic-insight values. Starting out in the seventh
circle, mortals strive for the first, and all who have attained the
third immediately have personal guardians of destiny assigned to them.
These mortals may be repersonalized in the morontia life independent
of dispensational or other adjudications.
Throughout the earlier ages of an evol-tionary world, few mortals go
to judgment on the third day. But as the ages pass, more and more the
personal guardians of destiny are assigned to the advancing mortals,
and thus increasing numbers of these evol-ing creatures are
repersonalized on the first mansion world on the third day after
natural dea-h. On such occasions the return of the Adjuster signalizes
the awakening of the human so-l, and this is the repersonalization of
the -ead just as literally as when the en masse roll is called at the
end of a dispensation on the evoluti-nary worlds.
There are three groups of individual ascenders: The less advanced
land on the initial or first mansion world. The more advanced group
may take up the morontia career on any of the intermediate mansion
worlds in accordance with previous planetary progression. The most
advanced of these orders really begin their morontia experience on the
seventh mansion world.
3. "Mortals of the probationary-dependent orders of ascension." The
arrival of an Adjuster constitutes identity in the eyes of the
universe, and all indwelt beings are on the roll calls of justice. But
tem****al life on the evo-utionary worlds is uncertain, and many d-e in
youth before choosing the Paradise career. Such Adjuster-indwelt
children and youths follow the parent of most advanced spiritu-l
status, thus going to the system finaliter world (the probationary
nursery) on the third day, at a special resurrection, or at the
regular millennial and dispensational roll calls.
Page 570
Children who di- when too young to have Thought Adjusters are
repersonalized on the finaliter world of the local systems concomitant
with the arrival of either parent on the mansion worlds. A child
acquires physical entity at mortal birth, but in the matter of
survival all Adjusterless children are reckoned as still attached to
their parents.
In due course Thought Adjusters come to indwell these little ones,
while the seraphic ministry to both groups of the
probationary-dependent orders of survival is in general similar to
that of the more advanced parent or is equivalent to that of the
parent in case only one survives. Those attaining the third circle,
regardless of the status of their parents, are accorded personal
guardians.
Similar probation nurseries are maintained on the finaliter spheres
of the constellation and the universe headquarters for the
Adjusterless children of the primary and secondary modified orders of
ascenders.
4. "Mortals of the secondary modified orders of ascension." These
are the progressive human beings of the intermediate evolutionary
worlds. As a rule they are not immune to natural de-th, but they are
exempt from passing through the seven mansion worlds.
The less perfected group reawaken on the headquarters of their local
system, passing by only the mansion worlds. The intermediate group go
to the constellation training worlds; they pass by the entire morontia
regime of the local system. Still farther on in the planetary ages of
spir-tual striving, many survivors awaken on the constellation
headquarters and there begin the Paradise ascent.
But before any of these groups may go forward, they must journey
back as instructors to the worlds they missed, gaining many
experiences as teachers in those realms which they passed by as
students. They all subsequently proceed to Paradise by the ordained
routes of mortal progression.
5. "Mortals of the primary modified order of ascension." These
mortals belong to the Adjuster-fused type of evolu-ionary life, but
they are most often representative of the final phases of human
development on an ev-lving world.
These glorified beings are exempt from passing through the ****tals
of dea-h; they are submitted to Son seizure; they are translated from
among the living and appear immediately in the presence of the
Sovereign Son on the headquarters of the local universe.
These are the mortals who fuse with their Adjusters during mortal
life, and such Adjuster-fused personalities traverse space freely
before being clothed with morontia forms. These fused so-ls go by
direct Adjuster transit to the resurrection halls of the higher
morontia spheres, where they receive their initial morontia
investiture just as do all other mortals arriving from the
evo-utionary worlds.
This primary modified order of mortal ascension may apply to
individuals in any of the planetary series from the lowest to the
highest stages of the Adjuster-fusion worlds, but it more frequently
functions on the older of these spheres after they have received the
benefits of numerous sojourns of the divine Sons.
With the establishment of the planetary era of light and life, many
go to the universe morontia worlds by the primary modified order of
translation. Further along in the advanced stages of settled
existence, when the majority
Page 571
of the mortals leaving a realm are embraced in this class, the planet
is regarded as belonging to this series. Natural d-ath becomes
decreasingly frequent on these spheres long settled in light and life.
