73:6.1 In the [[center]] of the Garden [[temple]] [[Van]] planted the long-guarded [[tree of life]], whose leaves were for the "healing of the nations,"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Revelation#Chapter_22] and whose fruit had so long [[sustained]] him on [[earth]]. [[Van]] well knew that [[Adam and Eve]] would also be dependent on this gift of [[Edentia]] for their life [[maintenance]] after they once appeared on [[Urantia]] in [[material]] form.

73:6.2 The [[Material Sons]] on [[the system]] [[capitals]] do not require the [[tree of life]] for sustenance. Only in the [[planetary]] [[repersonalization]] are they dependent on this adjunct to [[physical]] [[immortality]].

73:6.3 The "tree of the knowledge of good and evil"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Genesis#Chapter_.2] may be a [[figure of speech]], a [[symbolic]] designation covering a multitude of [[human]] [[experiences]], but the "tree of life"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Genesis#Chapter_.2] was not a [[myth]]; it was real and for a long time was present on [[Urantia]]. When the [[Most Highs]] of [[Edentia]] approved the commission of [[Caligastia]] as [[Planetary Prince]] of [[Urantia]] and those of the one hundred [[Jerusem]] [[citizens]] as his [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:2._THE_PRINCE.27S_STAFF administrative staff], they sent to the [[planet]], by the [[Melchizedeks]], a shrub of [[Edentia]], and this [[plant]] grew to be the [[tree of life]] on [[Urantia]]. This form of nonintelligent life is [[native]] to the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_43#43:1._THE_CONSTELLATION_HEADQUARTERS constellation headquarters] spheres, being also found on the [[headquarters]] worlds of the [[Salvington|local]] and [[Uversa|superuniverses]] as well as on the [[Havona]] spheres, but not on [[the system]] [[capitals]].

73:6.4 This superplant stored up certain [[space]]-[[energies]] which were antidotal to the age-producing elements of [[animal]] [[existence]]. The fruit of the [[tree of life]] was like a super[[chemical]] storage battery, mysteriously releasing the [[life-extension]] [[force]] of the [[universe]] when eaten. This [[form]] of sustenance was wholly useless to the ordinary [[evolutionary]] [[beings]] on [[Urantia]], but specifically it was serviceable to the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:2._THE_PRINCE.27S_STAFF one hundred] [[materialized]] members of [[Caligastia]]'s staff and to the one hundred modified [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_63#63:5._DISPERSION_OF_THE_ANDONITES Andonites] who had contributed of their [[life plasm]] to [[the Prince]]'s staff, and who, in return, were made possessors of that [[complement]] of life which made it possible for them to utilize the fruit of the [[tree of life]] for an indefinite extension of their otherwise [[mortal]] [[existence]].

73:6.5 During the days of [[the Prince]]'s rule the tree was growing from the [[earth]] in the central and [[circular]] courtyard of [[the Father]]'s [[temple]]. Upon the outbreak of [[the rebellion]] it was regrown from the central core by [[Van]] and his [[associates]] in their temporary camp. This [[Edentia]] shrub was subsequently taken to their highland [[retreat]], where it served both [[Van]] and [[Amadon]] for more than one hundred and fifty thousand years.

73:6.6 When [[Van]] and his [[associates]] made ready the Garden for [[Adam and Eve]], they transplanted the [[Edentia]] tree to the Garden of Eden, where, once again, it grew in a [[central]], circular courtyard of another [[temple]] to [[the Father]]. And [[Adam and Eve]] periodically partook of its fruit for the [[maintenance]] of their [[dual]] [[form]] of [[physical]] life.

73:6.7 When the [[plans]] of the [[Material Son]] went astray, [[Adam]] and his [[family]] were not permitted to carry the core of the tree away from the Garden. When the [[Nodites]] invaded [[Eden]], they were told that they would become as "gods if they partook of the fruit of the tree."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Genesis#Chapter_.3] Much to their [[surprise]] they found it unguarded. They ate freely of the fruit for years, but it did nothing for them; they were all [[material]] [[mortals]] of the realm; they lacked that [[endowment]] which acted as a [[complement]] to the fruit of the tree. They became enraged at their inability to benefit from the [[tree of life]], and in [[connection]] with one of their internal [[wars]], the [[temple]] and the [[Tree of Life|tree]] were both destroyed by [[fire]]; only the stone wall stood until the Garden was subsequently submerged. This was the second [[temple]] of [[the Father]] to perish.

73:6.8 And now must all flesh on [[Urantia]] take the [[natural]] [[course]] of life and [[death]].
