==PAPER 55: THE SPHERES OF LIGHT AND LIFE==

55:0.1 The [[age]] of [[light and life]] is the final [[evolutionary]] [[attainment]] of a world of [[time and space]]. From the [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64 early times] of [[primitive]] man, such an [[inhabited world]] has passed through the [[successive]] planetary [[ages]]—the [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_52#52:1._PRIMITIVE_MAN pre]- and the [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_52#52:2._POST-PLANETARY_PRINCE_MAN post-Planetary Prince ages], the [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_52#52:3._POST-ADAMIC_MAN post-Adamic age], the [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_52#52:4._POST-MAGISTERIAL_SON_MAN post-Magisterial Son age], and the [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_52#52:5._POST-BESTOWAL_SON_MAN postbestowal Son age]. And then is such a world made ready for the culminating [[evolutionary]] [[attainment]], the settled [[status]] of [[light and life]], by the [[ministry]] of the [[successive]] [[planetary]] missions of the [[Trinity Teacher Sons]] with their ever-advancing [[revelations]] of [[divine]] [[truth]] and [[cosmic]] [[wisdom]].

In these endeavors the [[Teacher Sons]] enjoy the [[assistance]] of the [[Brilliant Evening Stars]] always, and the [[Melchizedeks]] sometimes, in establishing the final [[planetary]] [[age]].

55:0.2 This era of [[light and life]], [[inaugurated]] by the [[Teacher Sons]] at the conclusion of their final [[planetary]] mission, continues indefinitely on the [[inhabited worlds]]. Each [[advancing]] [[stage]] of settled [[status]] may be [[segregated]] by the [[judicial]] [[actions]] of the [[Magisterial Son]]s into a [[succession]] of [[dispensations]]; but all such [[judicial]] [[actions]] are purely [[technical]], in no way [[modifying]] the [[course]] of [[planetary]] [[events]].

Line 9: Line 9:

55:0.3 Only those [[planets]] which [[attain]] [[existence]] in the main [[circuits]] of the [[superuniverse]] are [[assured]] of [[continuous]] [[survival]], but as far as we know, these worlds settled in [[light and life]] are [[destined]] to go on throughout the [[eternal]] ages of all [[future]] [[time]].

55:0.4 There are [[seven]] stages in the [[unfoldment]] of the era of [[light and life]] on an [[evolutionary world]], and in this [[connection]] it should be noted that the worlds of the [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:9._SPIRIT-FUSED_MORTALS Spirit-fused mortals] evolve along lines [[identical]] with those of the [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:7._FATHER-FUSED_MORTALS Adjuster-fusion series].

==55:1. THE MORONTIA TEMPLE==

−

55:1.1 The [[presence]] of a [[morontia temple]] at the [[capital]] of an [[inhabited world]] is the certificate of the admission of such a [[sphere]] to the settled ages of [[light and life]]. Before the [[Teacher Sons]] leave a world at the conclusion of their terminal mission, they [[inaugurate]] this final [[epoch]] of [[evolutionary]] [[attainment]]; they preside on that day when the "holy [[temple]] comes down upon [[earth]]."[~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Revelation#Chapter_21] This [[event]], signalizing the dawn of the era of [[light and life]], is always [[honored]] by the [[personal]] [[presence]] of the [[Paradise]] [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_20#20:5._BESTOWAL_OF_THE_PARADISE_SONS_OF_GOD bestowal Son] of that [[planet]], who comes to [[witness]] this great day. There in this [[temple]] of unparalleled [[beauty]], this [[bestowal Son]] of [[Paradise]] [[proclaims]] the long-time [[Planetary Prince]] as the new Planetary Sovereign and invests such a faithful Lanonandek Son with new powers and extended authority over planetary affairs. The System Sovereign is also present and speaks in confirmation of these pronouncements.

55:1.2 A morontia temple has three parts: Centermost is the sanctuary of the Paradise bestowal Son. On the right is the seat of the former Planetary Prince, now [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_50#50:5._PROGRESSIVE_CIVILIZATION Planetary Sovereign]; and when present in the [[temple]], this [[Lanonandek Son]] is [[visible]] to the more [[spiritual]] [[individuals]] of the realm. On the left is the seat of the acting chief of [[finaliters]] attached to the [[planet]].

55:1.3 Although the [[planetary]] [[temples]] have been spoken of as "coming down from heaven,"[~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Revelation#Chapter_3] in [[reality]] no [[actual]] [[material]] is [[transported]] from the [[system headquarters]]. The [[architecture]] of each is worked out in miniature on [[the system]] [[capital]], and the [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_48#48:2._MORONTIA_POWER_SUPERVISORS Morontia Power Supervisors] subsequently bring these approved [[plans]] to the [[planet]]. Here, in [[association]] with the [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_29#29:4._THE_MASTER_PHYSICAL_CONTROLLERS Master Physical Controllers], they [[proceed]] to build the [[morontia temple]] according to specifications.

55:1.4 The [[average]] [[morontia temple]] seats about three hundred thousand [[spectators]]. These edifices are not used for [[worship]], [[play]], or for receiving [[broadcasts]]; they are devoted to the special [[ceremonies]] of the [[planet]], such as: [[communications]] with the [[System Sovereign]] or with the [[Most Highs]], special [[visualization]] [[ceremonies]] [[designed]] to [[reveal]] the [[personality]] [[presence]] of [[spirit]] [[beings]], and [[silent]] [[cosmic]] [[contemplation]]. The schools of [[cosmic]] [[philosophy]] here conduct their [[graduation]] [[exercises]], and here also do the [[mortals]] of the realm receive [[planetary]] [[recognition]] for [[achievements]] of high [[social]] [[service]] and for other outstanding [[attainments]].

Line 33: Line 33:

55:1.5 Such a [[morontia temple]] also serves as the place of assembly for [[witnessing]] the [[translation]] of living [[mortals]] to the [[morontia]] [[existence]]. It is because the [[translation]] [[temple]] is [[composed]] of [[morontia]] [[material]] that it is not [[destroyed]] by the blazing [[glory]] of the consuming [[fire]] which so completely [[obliterates]] the [[physical]] [[bodies]] of those [[mortals]] who therein [[experience]] final [[fusion]] with their [[divine]] [[Adjusters]]. On a large world these departure flares are almost [[continuous]], and as the [[number]] of [[translations]] increases, subsidiary [[morontia]] life [[shrines]] are provided in [[different]] areas of the [[planet]]. Not long since I [[sojourned]] on a world in the far north whereon twenty-five [[morontia]] [[shrines]] were [[functioning]].

55:1.6 On presettled worlds, [[planets]] without [[morontia temples]], these [[fusion]] flashes many times occur in the [[planetary]] [[atmosphere]], where the [[material]] [[body]] of a [[translation]] [[candidate]] is elevated by the [[midway creatures]] and the [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_29#29:4._THE_MASTER_PHYSICAL_CONTROLLERS physical controllers].

==55:3. THE GOLDEN AGES==

55:3.1 During this age of [[light and life]] the world increasingly prospers under the [[fatherly]] rule of the [[Planetary Sovereign]]. By this [[time]] the worlds are [[progressing]] under the [[momentum]] of one [[language]], one [[religion]], and, on [[normal]] [[spheres]], one [[race]]. But this [[age]] is not [[perfect]]. These worlds still have well-appointed [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hospital hospitals], homes for the care of the sick. There still remain the [[problems]] of caring for [[accidental]] injuries and the inescapable infirmities attendant upon the decrepitude of old age and the disorders of [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senility senility]. [[Disease]] has not been entirely vanquished, neither have the [[earth]] [[animals]] been subdued in [[perfection]]; but such worlds are like [[Paradise]] in [[comparison]] with the early times of [[primitive]] man during the [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_52#52:1._PRIMITIVE_MAN pre-Planetary Prince age]. You would [[instinctively]] describe such a realm—could you be suddenly [[transported]] to a [[planet]] in this [[stage]] of [[development]]—as [[heaven]] on [[earth]].

55:3.2 [[Human]] [[government]] in the [[conduct]] of [[material]] affairs continues to [[function]] throughout this [[age]] of [[relative]] [[progress]] and [[perfection]]. The [[public]] [[activities]] of a world in the first [[stage]] of [[light and life]] which I recently visited were [[financed]] by the [[tithing]] [[technique]]. Every [[adult]] worker—and all able-bodied [[citizens]] worked at something—paid ten per cent of his [[income]] or increase to the [[public]] treasury, and it was disbursed as follows:

Line 73: Line 73:

55:3.5 3. Three per cent was [[dedicated]] to [[goodness]]—[[social]] [[service]], [[altruism]], and [[religion]].

−

55:3.6 4. One per cent was assigned to the [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insurance insurance] reserves against the [[risk]] of incapacity for [[labor]] resultant from [[accident]], [[disease]], old age, or unpreventable [[disasters]].

55:3.6 4. One per cent was assigned to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insurance insurance] reserves against the [[risk]] of incapacity for [[labor]] resultant from [[accident]], [[disease]], old age, or unpreventable [[disasters]].

55:3.7 The [[natural]] [[resources]] of this [[planet]] were [[administered]] as [[social]] [[possessions]], [[community]] property.

Line 81: Line 81:

55:3.9 The [[majority]] of [[social]] and [[administrative]] posts were held jointly by [[men]] and [[women]]. Most of the [[teaching]] was also done jointly; likewise all [[judicial]] trusts were discharged by similar [[associated]] couples.

55:3.10 On these superb worlds the [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Childbearing childbearing] period is not greatly prolonged. It is not best for too many years to [[intervene]] between the ages of a [[family]] of [[children]]. When close together in age, [[children]] are able to [[contribute]] much more to their [[mutual]] [[training]]. And on these worlds they are [[magnificently]] trained by the [[competitive]] [[systems]] of keen striving in the advanced [[domains]] and divisions of [[diverse]] [[achievement]] in the mastery of [[truth]], [[beauty]], and [[goodness]]. Never [[fear]] but that even such [[glorified]] [[spheres]] present plenty of [[evil]], real and [[potential]], which is stimulative of the [[choosing]] between [[truth]] and [[error]], [[good]] and [[evil]], [[sin]] and [[righteousness]].

55:3.11 Nevertheless, there is a certain, inevitable penalty attaching to [[mortal]] [[existence]] on such advanced [[evolutionary]] [[planets]]. When a settled world [[progresses]] beyond the third stage of [[light and life]], all [[ascenders]] are [[destined]], before [[attaining]] the [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_15#15:13._THE_SECTOR_GOVERNMENTS minor sector], to receive some sort of [[transient]] assignment on a [[planet]] passing through the earlier [[stages]] of [[evolution]].

55:3.13 A [[planet]] the size of [[Urantia]], when fairly well settled, would have about one hundred subadministrative [[centers]]. These subordinate centers would be presided over by one of the following [[groups]] of qualified [[administrators]]:

*1. Young [[Material Sons and Daughters]] brought from the [[system headquarters]] to [[act]] as assistants to the ruling [[Adam and Eve]].

55:4.5 [[Acting]] as [[interpreters]] for the [[seraphic guardians]] and the [[finaliters]] are the exalted and liberated [[midway creatures]]. One of the last [[acts]] of the [[Trinity Teacher Sons]] on their terminal mission is to [[liberate]] the [[midwayers]] of the realm and to promote (or restore) them to advanced planetary status, assigning them to responsible places in the new [[administration]] of the settled sphere. Such [[changes]] have already been made in the range of [[human]] [[vision]] as enable [[mortals]] to [[recognize]] these heretofore [[invisible]] cousins of the early [[Adamic regime]].

55:4.7 In the third and subsequent [[stages]], some of the [[midwayers]] are still [[functioning]], chiefly as [[contact personalities]] for the [[finaliters]], but as each stage of [[light and life]] is entered, new [[orders]] of [[liaison]] ministers largely replace the [[midwayers]]; very few of them ever remain beyond the fourth stage of light. The seventh stage will witness the coming of the first [[absonite]] ministers from [[Paradise]] to serve in the places of certain [[universe]] [[creatures]].

55:10.4 The settling of an entire [[local universe]] in [[light and life]] [[inaugurates]] [[profound]] readjustments in the entire [[scheme]] of [[administration]], from the [[individual]] [[inhabited worlds]] to the [[universe]] [[headquarters]]. New [[relationships]] extend down to the [[constellations]] and [[the System|systems]].

−

55:10.5 During this and subsequent ages the Magisterial Sons continue to function as dispensational adjudicators, while one hundred of these Avonal Sons of Paradise constitute the new high council of the Bright and Morning Star on the universe capital. Later on, and as requested by the System ~~Sovereigns~~, one of these Magisterial Sons will become the supreme counselor stationed on the headquarters world of each local system until the seventh stage of unity is attained.

55:10.6 During this epoch the Trinity Teacher Sons are volunteer advisers, not only to the Planetary ~~Sovereigns~~, but in groups of three they similarly serve the Constellation Fathers. And at last these Sons find their place in the local universe, for at this time they are removed from the jurisdiction of the local creation and are assigned to the service of the supreme council of unlimited authority.

−

55:10.8 The Creator Sons of such settled universes spend much of their time on Paradise and its associated worlds and in counseling the numerous finaliter groups serving throughout the local creation. In this way the man of Michael will find a fuller fraternity of association with the glorified finaliter mortals.

55:10.9 Speculation concerning the function of these Creator Sons in connection with the outer universes now in process of preliminary assembly is wholly futile. But we all engage in such postulations from time to time. On attaining this fourth stage of development the Creator Son becomes administratively free; the Divine Minister is progressively blending her ministry with that of the superuniverse Master Spirit and the Infinite Spirit. There seems to be evolving a new and sublime relationship between the Creator Son, the Creative Spirit, the Evening Stars, the Teacher Sons, and the ever-increasing finaliter corps.

55:10.10 If Michael should ever leave Nebadon, Gabriel would undoubtedly become chief administrator with the Father Melchizedek as his associate. At the same time new status would be imparted to all orders of permanent citizenship, such as Material Sons, univitatia, midsoniters, susatia, and Spirit-fused mortals. But as long as evolution continues, the seraphim and the archangels will be required in universe administration.

55:10.11 We are, however, satisfied regarding two features of our speculations: If the Creator Sons are destined to the outer universes, the Divine Ministers will undoubtedly accompany them. We are equally sure that the Melchizedeks are to remain with the universes of their origin. We hold that the Melchizedeks are destined to play ever-increasingly responsible parts in local universe government and administration.

==55:11. THE MINOR AND MAJOR SECTOR STAGES==

−

55:11.1 Minor and major sectors of the superuniverse do not figure directly in the plan of being settled in light and life. Such an evolutionary progression pertains primarily to the local universe as a unit and concerns only the components of a local universe. A superuniverse is settled in light and life when all of its component local universes are thus perfected. But not one of the seven superuniverses has attained a level of progression even approaching this.

55:11.2 ''The minor sector age''. As far as observations can penetrate, the fifth or minor sector stage of stabilization has exclusively to do with physical status and with the co-ordinate settling of the one hundred associated local universes in the established circuits of the superuniverse. Apparently none but the power centers and their associates are concerned in these realignments of the material creation.

55:11.3 ''The major sector age''. Concerning the sixth stage, or major sector stabilization, we can only conjecture since none of us have witnessed such an event. Nevertheless, we can postulate much concerning the administrative and other readjustments which would probably accompany such an advanced status of inhabited worlds and their universe groupings.

55:11.4 Since the minor sector status has to do with co-ordinate physical equilibrium, we infer that major sector unification will be concerned with certain new intellectual levels of attainment, possibly some advanced achievements in the supreme realization of cosmic wisdom.

55:11.5 We arrive at conclusions regarding the readjustments which would probably attend the realization of hitherto unattained levels of evolutionary progress by observing the results of such achievements on the individual worlds and in the experiences of individual mortals living on these older and highly developed spheres.

55:11.6 Let it be made clear that the administrative mechanisms and governmental techniques of a universe or a superuniverse cannot in any manner limit or retard the evolutionary development or spiritual progress of an individual inhabited planet or of any individual mortal on such a sphere.

−

55:11.7 In some of the older universes we find worlds settled in the fifth and the sixth stages of light and ~~life—even~~ far extended into the seventh ~~epoch—whose~~ local systems are not yet settled in light. Younger planets may delay system unification, but this does not in the least handicap the progress of an older and advanced world. Neither can environmental limitations, even on an isolated world, thwart the personal attainment of the individual mortal; Jesus of Nazareth, as a man among men, personally achieved the status of light and life over nineteen hundred years ago on Urantia.

==55:12. THE SEVENTH OR SUPERUNIVERSE STAGE==

−

55:12.1 We cannot positively forecast what would occur when a superuniverse became settled in light because such an event has never factualized. From the teachings of the Melchizedeks, which have never been contradicted, we infer that sweeping changes would be made in the entire organization and administration of every unit of the creations of time and space extending from the inhabited worlds to the superuniverse headquarters.

−

55:12.2 It is generally believed that large numbers of the otherwise unattached creature-trinitized sons are to be assembled on the headquarters and divisional capitals of the settled superuniverses. This may be in anticipation of the sometime arrival of outer-spacers on their way in to Havona and Paradise; but we really do not know.

This may be in [[anticipation]] of the sometime arrival of [[outer-spacers]] on their way in to [[Havona]] and [[Paradise]]; but we really do not know.

−

55:12.3 If and when a superuniverse should be settled in light and life, we believe that the now advisory Unqualified Supervisors of the Supreme would become the high administrative body on the headquarters world of the superuniverse. These are the personalities who are able to contact directly with the absonite administrators, who will forthwith become active in the settled superuniverse. Although these Unqualified Supervisors have long functioned as advisers and counselors in advanced evolutionary units of creation, they do not assume administrative responsibilities until the authority of the Supreme Being becomes sovereign.

−

55:12.4 The Unqualified Supervisors of the Supreme, who function more extensively during this epoch, are not finite, absonite, ultimate, or infinite; they are supremacy and only represent God the Supreme. They are the personalization of time-space supremacy and therefore do not function in Havona. They function only as supreme unifiers. They may possibly be involved in the technique of universe reflectivity, but we are not certain.

55:12.5 None of us entertain a satisfactory concept of what will happen when the grand universe (the seven superuniverses as dependent on Havona) becomes entirely settled in light and life. That event will undoubtedly be the most profound occurrence in the annals of eternity since the appearance of the central universe. There are those who hold that the Supreme Being himself will emerge from the Havona mystery enshrouding his spirit person and will become residential on the headquarters of the seventh superuniverse as the almighty and experiential sovereign of the perfected creations of time and space. But we really do not know.
