49:5.3 1. ''Adjustment to planetary environment''. There are [[three]] general [[groups]] of inhabited worlds from the [[standpoint]] of the [[adjustment]] of [[creature]] life to the [[planetary]] [[environment]]: the [[normal]] adjustment group, the [[radical]] adjustment group, and the [[experimental]] group.

There are [[three]] general [[groups]] of inhabited worlds from the [[standpoint]] of the [[adjustment]] of [[creature]] life to the [[planetary]] [[environment]]: the [[normal]] adjustment group, the [[radical]] adjustment group, and the [[experimental]] group.

49:5.4 [[Normal]] [[adjustments]] to [[planetary]] conditions follow the general [[physical]] [[patterns]] previously [[considered]]. The worlds of the ''nonbreathers'' typify the [[radical]] or extreme [[adjustment]], but other [[types]] are also included in this [[group]]. [[Experimental]] worlds are usually [[ideally]] [[adapted]] to the typical life [[forms]], and on these [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_58#PAPER_58:_LIFE_ESTABLISHMENT_ON_URANTIA decimal planets] the [[Life Carriers]] attempt to produce beneficial variations in the [[standard]] life [[designs]]. Since your world is an [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_58#PAPER_58:_LIFE_ESTABLISHMENT_ON_URANTIA experimental planet], it differs markedly from its <u>sister spheres</u> in [[Satania]]; many [[forms]] of life have [[appeared]] on [[Urantia]] that are not found elsewhere; likewise are many common [[species]] [[absent]] from your [[planet]].

49:5.5 In the [[universe]] of [[Nebadon]], all the life-[[modification]] worlds are serially linked [[together]] and [[constitute]] a special [[domain]] of [[universe]] affairs which is given [[attention]] by designated [[administrators]]; and all of these [[experimental]] worlds are [[periodically]] inspected by a corps of universe directors whose chief is the [[veteran]] [[finaliter]] known in [[Satania]] as ''Tabamantia''.

49:5.8 While the [[terrestrial]] [[attainments]] of the one-brained races are slightly [[limited]] in [[comparison]] with the two-brained orders, the older [[planets]] of the three-brained [[group]] [[exhibit]] [[civilizations]] that would astound Urantians, and which would somewhat [[shame]] yours by [[comparison]]. In [[mechanical]] [[development]] and [[material]] [[civilization]], even in [[intellectual]] [[progress]], the two-brained mortal worlds are able to [[equal]] the three-brained spheres. But in the higher [[control]] of [[mind]] and [[development]] of [[intellectual]] and [[spiritual]] [[reciprocation]], you are somewhat inferior.

49:5.9 All such [[comparative]] estimates concerning the [[intellectual]] [[progress]] or the [[spiritual]] [[attainments]] of any world or [[group]] of worlds should in [[fairness]] [[recognize]] [[planetary]] [[age]]; much, very much, depends on age, the help of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_51#PAPER_51:_THE_PLANETARY_ADAMS biologic uplifters], and the subsequent missions of the various [[orders]] of the [[divine Sons]].

49:5.10 While the three-brained peoples are capable of a slightly higher [[planetary]] [[evolution]] than either the one- or two-brained orders, all have the same [[type]] of life [[plasm]] and carry on [[planetary]] [[activities]] in very similar ways, much as do [[human beings]] on [[Urantia]]. These [[three]] [[types]] of [[mortals]] are [[distributed]] throughout the worlds of the [[local systems]]. In the [[majority]] of cases [[planetary]] conditions had very little to do with the [[decisions]] of the [[Life Carriers]] to [[project]] these varied [[orders]] of [[mortals]] on the [[different]] worlds; it is a [[prerogative]] of the [[Life Carriers]] thus to [[plan]] and [[execute]].

49:5.11 These [[three]] [[orders]] stand on an [[equal]] footing in the [[ascension career]]. Each must [[traverse]] the same [[intellectual]] [[scale]] of [[development]], and each must master the same [[spiritual]] tests of [[progression]].

49:5.12 3. ''Spirit-reception series''. There are [[three]] [[groups]] of [[mind]] [[design]] as [[related]] to [[contact]] with [[spirit]] affairs. This [[classification]] does not refer to the one-, two-, and three-brained [[orders]] of [[mortals]]; it refers primarily to gland [[chemistry]], more particularly to the [[organization]] of certain glands [[comparable]] to the [[pituitary bodies]]. The [[races]] on some worlds have one gland, on others two, as do [[Urantia]]ns, while on still other [[spheres]] the races have [[three]] of these [[unique]] bodies. The [[inherent]] [[imagination]] and [[spiritual]] [[receptivity]] is definitely [[influenced]] by this [[differential]] [[chemical]] [[endowment]].

49:5.14 4. ''Planetary-mortal epochs''. This [[classification]] [[recognizes]] the [[succession]] of [[temporal]] [[dispensations]] as they [[affect]] man's [[terrestrial]] [[status]] and his [[reception]] of [[celestial]] [[ministry]].

49:5.15 Life is [[initiated]] on the [[planets]] by the [[Life Carriers]], who watch over its [[development]] until sometime after the [[evolutionary]] [[appearance]] of [[mortal]] [[man]]. Before the [[Life Carriers]] leave a [[planet]], they duly install a [[Planetary Prince]] as ruler of the realm. With this ruler there arrives a [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:2._THE_PRINCE.27S_STAFF full quota of subordinate auxiliaries and ministering helpers], and the first [[adjudication]] of the living and the [[dead]] is [[simultaneous]] with his arrival.

49:5.16 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 [[Turbulence|stormy]] [[course]] ever since.

49:5.17 On a [[normal]] [[evolutionary]] 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 imported [[beings]] are of [[service]] as biologic uplifters; their [[default]] on [[Urantia]] further complicated your [[planetary]] [[history]].

49:5.18 When the [[intellectual]] and [[ethical]] [[progress]] of a [[human]] [[race]] has reached the [[limits]] of [[evolutionary]] [[development]], there comes an [[Avonal Son]] of [[Paradise]] on a [[magisterial mission]]; and later on, when the [[spiritual]] [[status]] of such a world is nearing its limit of [[natural]] [[attainment]], the planet is visited by a [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_20#20:5._BESTOWAL_OF_THE_PARADISE_SONS_OF_GOD Paradise bestowal Son]. The chief mission of a [[bestowal Son]] is to [[establish]] the [[planetary]] [[status]], release the [[Spirit of Truth]] for [[planetary]] [[function]], and thus [[effect]] the [[universal]] coming of the [[Thought Adjusters]].

49:5.19 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]].

49:5.20 As a result of the [[ministry]] of all the [[successive]] [[orders]] of [[divine sonship]], the inhabited worlds and their advancing [[races]] begin to approach the [[apex]] of [[planetary]] [[evolution]]. 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—[[evolutionary]] [[utopia]]—the age of [[light and life]].

[[Planets]] are not only [[organized]] [[vertically]] into [[the System|systems]], [[constellations]], and so on, but the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_33 universe administration] also provides for [[horizontal]] [[groupings]] according to [[type]], series, and other [[relationships]].

49:5.23 These [[kinship]] [[factors]] are [[manifest]] on all [[levels]], for [[kinship]] [[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]].

49:5.25 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]].
