66:4.1 The arrival of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:2._THE_PRINCE.27S_STAFF Prince's staff] created a [[profound]] impression. While it required almost a thousand years for the news to spread abroad, those [[tribes]] near the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamia Mesopotamian] headquarters were tremendously [[influenced]] by the [[teachings]] and conduct of the one hundred new [[sojourners]] on [[Urantia]]. And much of your subsequent [[mythology]] grew out of the garbled legends of these early days when these members of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:2._THE_PRINCE.27S_STAFF Prince's staff] were [[repersonalized]] on [[Urantia]] as supermen.

66:4.2 The serious obstacle to the [[good]] [[influence]] of such extraplanetary [[teachers]] is the [[tendency]] of [[mortals]] to regard them as [[gods]], but aside from the [[technique]] of their [[appearance]] on [[earth]] the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:2._THE_PRINCE.27S_STAFF Caligastia one hundred]—fifty [[men]] and fifty [[women]]—did not resort to [[supernatural]] [[methods]] nor superhuman [[manipulations]].

66:4.3 But the corporeal staff were nonetheless superhuman. They began their mission on [[Urantia]] as extraordinary threefold [[beings]]:

66:4.4 1. They were corporeal and [[relatively]] [[human]], for they embodied the [[actual]] [[life plasm]] of one of the [[human]] [[races]], the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_63 Andonic life plasm] of [[Urantia]].

66:4.5 These one hundred members of the Prince's staff were divided [[equally]] as to [[sex]] and in accordance with their previous [[mortal]] [[status]]. Each [[person]] of this [[group]] was capable of becoming [[Reproduction|coparental]] to some new order of [[physical]] [[being]], but they had been carefully instructed to resort to [[parenthood]] only under certain conditions. It is customary for the corporeal staff of a [[Planetary Prince]] to [[procreate]] their successors sometime prior to retiring from special [[planetary]] [[service]]. Usually this is at, or shortly after, the time of the arrival of the Planetary [[Adam and Eve]].

66:4.6 These special beings therefore had little or no [[idea]] as to what [[type]] of [[material]] [[creature]] would be produced by their [[Sexual Intercourse|sexual union]]. And they never did know; before the [[time]] for such a step in the prosecution of their world [[work]] the entire [[regime]] was upset by [[rebellion]], and those who later [[functioned]] in the [[parental]] role had been [[isolated]] from the life currents of [[the system]].

66:4.7 In skin [[color]] and [[language]] these [[materialized]] members of [[Caligastia]]' s staff followed the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_63 Andonic race]. They partook of [[food]] as did the [[mortals]] of the realm with this [[difference]]: The re-created [[bodies]] of this [[group]] were fully satisfied by a nonflesh diet. This was one of the considerations which determined their residence in a warm region abounding in fruits and nuts. The practice of subsisting on a [[Vegan|nonflesh]] diet dates from the times of the [[Caligastia]] one hundred, for this [[custom]] spread near and far to affect the eating [[habits]] of many [[surrounding]] [[tribes]], [[groups]] of [[origin]] in the once exclusively [[Carnivorous|meat-eating]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64 evolutionary races].

66:4.8 2. The one hundred were [[material]] but superhuman [[beings]], having been reconstituted on [[Urantia]] as [[unique]] [[men]] and [[women]] of a high and special [[order]].

66:4.9 This [[group]], while enjoying provisional [[citizenship]] on [[Jerusem]], were as yet unfused with their [[Thought Adjusters]]; and when they [[volunteered]] and were [[accepted]] for [[planetary]] [[service]] in [[liaison]] with the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_20#20:1._THE_DESCENDING_SONS_OF_GOD descending orders of sonship], their [[Adjusters]] were detached. But these [[Jerusem]]ites were superhuman [[beings]]—they [[possessed]] [[souls]] of [[ascendant]] [[growth]]. During the [[mortal]] life in the [[flesh]] the [[soul]] is of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embryo embryonic estate]; it is [[born]] ([[resurrected]]) in the [[morontia]] life and [[experiences]] [[growth]] through the successive [[morontia worlds]]. And the [[souls]] of the [[Caligastia]] one hundred had thus expanded through the [[progressive]] [[experiences]] of the [[seven mansion worlds]] to [[citizenship]] [[status]] on [[Jerusem]].

66:4.10 In [[conformity]] to their instructions the staff did not [[engage]] in [[sexual]] [[reproduction]], but they did painstakingly [[study]] their [[personal]] [[Body|constitutions]], and they carefully [[explored]] every [[imaginable]] [[phase]] of [[intellectual]] ([[mind]]) and [[morontia]] ([[soul]]) [[liaison]]. And it was during the thirty-third year of their [[sojourn]] in [[Dalamatia]], long before the wall was completed, that number two and number seven of the Danite group [[accidentally]] [[discovered]] a [[phenomenon]] attendant upon the [[liaison]] of their [[morontia]] [[selves]] (supposedly nonsexual and nonmaterial); and the result of this [[adventure]] proved to be the first of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_77#77:1._THE_PRIMARY_MIDWAYERS primary midway creatures]. This new [[being]] was wholly visible to the planetary staff and to their [[celestial]] [[associates]] but was [[Invisible|not visible]] to the [[men]] and [[women]] of the various [[human]] [[tribes]]. Upon [[authority]] of the [[Planetary Prince]] the entire corporeal staff undertook the production of similar [[beings]], and all were successful, following the instructions of the pioneer Danite pair. Thus did the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:2._THE_PRINCE.27S_STAFF Prince's staff] eventually bring into being the [[original]] corps of 50,000 [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_77#77:1._THE_PRIMARY_MIDWAYERS primary midwayers].

66:4.11 These mid-type [[creatures]] were of great [[service]] in carrying on the affairs of the world's [[headquarters]]. They were [[invisible]] to [[human beings]], but the [[primitive]] sojourners at [[Dalamatia]] were taught about these unseen semispirits, and for ages they [[constituted]] the sum [[total]] of the [[spirit]] world to these evolving [[mortals]].

66:4.12 3. The [[Caligastia]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:2._THE_PRINCE.27S_STAFF one hundred] were [[personally]] [[immortal]], or undying.

66:4.13 These antidotal [[complements]] of the [[Satania]] life currents were derived from the fruit of the [[tree of life]], a shrub of [[Edentia]] which was sent to [[Urantia]] by the [[Most Highs]] of [[Norlatiadek]] at the time of [[Caligastia]]'s arrival. In the days of [[Dalamatia]] this tree grew in the central courtyard of the [[temple]] of [[the unseen Father]], and it was the fruit of the [[tree of life]] that enabled the [[material]] and otherwise [[mortal]] [[beings]] of the Prince's staff to live on indefinitely as long as they had [[access]] to it.

66:4.14 While of no [[value]] to the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64 evolutionary races], this supersustenance was quite sufficient to confer continuous life upon the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:2._THE_PRINCE.27S_STAFF Caligastia one hundred] and also upon the one hundred [[modified]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_63#63:4._THE_ANDONIC_CLANS Andonites] who were [[associated]] with them.

66:4.15 It should be explained in this connection that, at the time the one hundred [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_63#63:5._DISPERSION_OF_THE_ANDONITES Andonites] [[contributed]] their [[human]] [[germ plasm]] to the members of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:2._THE_PRINCE.27S_STAFF Prince's staff], the [[Life Carriers]] introduced into their [[mortal]] [[bodies]] the [[complement]] of [[the system]] [[circuits]]; and thus were they enabled to live on concurrently with the staff, century after century, in defiance of [[physical]] [[death]].

66:4.16 [[Eventually]] the one hundred [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_63#63:5._DISPERSION_OF_THE_ANDONITES Andonites] were made aware of their [[contribution]] to the new [[forms]] of their superiors, and these same one hundred children of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_63#63:4._THE_ANDONIC_CLANS Andon tribes] were kept at [[headquarters]] as the personal attendants of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:2._THE_PRINCE.27S_STAFF Prince's corporeal staff].
