Changes

63:6.3 The Andonites early [[developed]] a [[fear]] of the [[Weather|elements]]—thunder, lightning, rain, snow, hail, and ice. But [[hunger]] was the constantly recurring urge of these early days, and since they largely subsisted on [[animals]], they eventually evolved a [[form]] of [[animal]] [[worship]]. To Andon, the larger [[food]] [[animals]] were [[symbols]] of [[creative]] might and sustaining [[power]]. From time to time it became the [[custom]] to designate various of these larger animals as objects of [[worship]]. During the vogue of a particular [[animal]], crude [[outlines]] of it would be drawn on the walls of the [[caves]], and later on, as continued [[progress]] was made in the [[arts]], such an animal [[god]] was engraved on various ornaments.

63:6.4 Very early the Andonic peoples formed the [[habit]] of refraining from eating the [[flesh]] of the [[animal]] of tribal [[veneration]]. Presently, in order more suitably to impress the [[minds]] of their [[youths]], they evolved a [[ceremony]] of [[reverence]] which was carried out about the [[body]] of one of these [[venerated]] [[animals]]; and still later on, this [[primitive]] [[performance]] [[developed]] into the more elaborate [[sacrificial]] [[ceremonies]] of their descendants. And this is the [[origin]] of [[sacrifices]] as a part of [[worship]]. This [[idea]] was elaborated by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses Moses] in the [[Hebrew]] [[ritual]] and was preserved, in principle, by the [[Apostle]] [[Paul, the Apostle|Paul]] as the [[doctrine]] of [[atonement]] for [[sin]] by "the shedding of blood."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Letter_to_the_Hebrews#The_Letter_to_the_Hebrews.2C_IX]

63:6.7 Onagar [[maintained]] [[headquarters]] on the northern shores of the ancient [[Mediterranean]] in the region of the present [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caspian_Sea Caspian Sea] at a settlement called Oban, the tarrying place on the westward turning of the [[travel]] trail leading up northward from the Mesopotamian southland. From Oban he sent out [[teachers]] to the remote settlements to spread his new [[doctrines]] of one [[Deity]] and his [[concept]] of the [[hereafter]], which he called the ''Great Beyond''. These emissaries of Onagar were the world's first missionaries; they were also the first [[human beings]] to cook meat, the first regularly to use [[fire]] in the [[preparation]] of [[food]]. They cooked flesh on the ends of sticks and also on hot stones; later on they roasted large pieces in the [[fire]], but their descendants almost entirely reverted to the use of raw flesh.

63:6.8 Onagar was born 983,323 years ago (from A.D. 1934), and he lived to be sixty-nine years of age. The [[record]] of the achievements of this master [[mind]] and [[spiritual]] [[leader]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_52#52:1._PRIMITIVE_MAN pre-Planetary Prince days] is a thrilling recital of the [[organization]] of these [[primitive]] peoples into a real [[society]]. He [[instituted]] an efficient [[tribal]] [[government]], the like of which was not [[attained]] by succeeding generations in many millenniums. Never again, until the arrival of the [[Planetary Prince]], was there such a high [[spiritual]] [[civilization]] on [[earth]]. These simple people had a real though [[primitive]] [[religion]][http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_86], but it was subsequently lost to their deteriorating descendants.

63:6.9 Although both Andon and Fonta had received [[Thought Adjusters]], as had many of their descendants, it was not until the days of Onagar that the [[Adjusters]] and [[guardian seraphim]] came in great [[numbers]] to [[Urantia]]. This was, indeed, the golden age of [[primitive]] man.
