65:1.1 The [[Life Carriers]] are [[endowed]] with [[potentials]] of [[personality]] [[metamorphosis]] which but few [[orders]] of [[creatures]] [[possess]]. These [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_35 Sons of the local universe] are capable of [[functioning]] in [[three]] [[diverse]] [[phases]] of [[being]]. They ordinarily [[perform]] their [[duties]] as mid-phase Sons, that being the state of their [[origin]]. But a [[Life Carrier]] in such a [[stage]] of [[existence]] could not possibly [[function]] in the electrochemical [[domains]] as a fabricator of [[physical]] [[energies]] and [[material]] [[particles]] into [[units]] of living [[existence]].

When these [[beings]] are properly [[encircuited]], they can [[effect]] such [[modifications]] in the [[Life Carriers]] as will enable them [[immediately]] to [[function]] on the [[physical]] levels of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochemical electrochemistry].

65:1.4 After the life [[patterns]] have been [[formulated]] and the [[material]] [[organizations]] have been duly completed, the supermaterial [[forces]] concerned in life [[propagation]] become forthwith [[active]], and life is [[existent]]. Whereupon the [[Life Carriers]] are [[immediately]] returned to their [[normal]] mid-phase of [[personality]] [[existence]], in which estate they can [[manipulate]] the living [[units]] and maneuver the [[evolving]] [[organisms]], even though they are shorn of all [[ability]] to [[organize]]—[[create]]—new [[patterns]] of living [[matter]].

65:1.5 After [[organic]] [[evolution]] has run a certain [[course]] and [[free will]] of the [[human]] type has appeared in the highest [[evolving]] [[organisms]], the [[Life Carriers]] must either leave the [[planet]] or take [[renunciation]] [[vows]]; that is, they must [[pledge]] themselves to refrain from all attempts further to [[influence]] the [[course]] of [[organic]] [[evolution]]. And when such [[vows]] are voluntarily taken by those [[Life Carriers]] who [[choose]] to remain on the [[planet]] as [[future]] advisers to those who shall be intrusted with the fostering of the newly evolved [[Free will|will]] [[creatures]], there is summoned a commission of twelve, presided over by the chief of the [[Evening Stars]], [[acting]] by [[authority]] of the [[System Sovereign]] and with permission of [[Gabriel]]; and forthwith these [[Life Carriers]] are [[transmuted]] to the third [[phase]] of [[personality]] [[existence]]—the semispiritual level of [[being]].

==65:2. THE EVOLUTIONARY PANORAMA==     

65:2.1 The [[story]] of [[man]]'s [[ascent]] from seaweed to the lordship of [[earth]]ly [[creation]] is indeed a [[romance]] of [[biologic]] [[struggle]] and [[mind]] [[survival]]. Man's primordial [[ancestors]] were [[literally]] the slime and ooze of the [[ocean]] bed in the sluggish and warm-water bays and lagoons of the vast shore lines of the ancient inland [[seas]], those very [[waters]] in which the [[Life Carriers]] [[established]] the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_58#58:4._THE_LIFE-DAWN_ERA three independent life implantations] on [[Urantia]].

65:2.2 Very few [[species]] of the early [[types]] of [[marine]] [[vegetation]] that [[participated]] in those [[epochal]] [[changes]] which resulted in the animallike borderland [[organisms]] are in [[existence]] today. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sponges sponges] are the [[survivors]] of one of these early midway types, those [[organisms]] through which the [[gradual]] [[transition]] from the [[vegetable]] to the [[animal]] took place. These early [[transition]] [[forms]], while not identical with modern [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sponges sponges], were much like them; they were true borderline organisms—neither [[vegetable]] nor [[animal]]—but they [[eventually]] led to the [[development]] of the true [[animal]] forms of life.

65:2.6 The [[stage]] was thus set for the [[appearance]] of the first backboned animals, the [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishes fishes]. From this fish [[family]] there sprang two [[unique]] [[modifications]], the [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frog frog] and the [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salamander salamander]. And it was the frog which began that series of [[progressive]] [[differentiations]] in [[animal]] life that finally culminated in [[man]] himself.

65:2.7 The [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frog frog] is one of the earliest of [[surviving]] [[human]]-race [[ancestors]], but it also failed to [[progress]], [[persisting]] today much as in those remote times. The frog is the only [[species]] ancestor of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_62 early dawn races] now living on the [[face]] of the [[earth]].

65:2.8 The frogs gave rise to the [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reptiles Reptilia], a great [[animal]] [[family]] which is [[virtually]] [[extinct]], but which, before passing out of [[existence]], gave origin to the whole [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird bird] family and the numerous orders of [[mammals]].

65:2.12 It was from an [[agile]] little reptilian [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinosaur dinosaur] of [[carnivorous]] [[habits]] but having a comparatively large [[brain]] that the [[placental]] [[mammals]] suddenly sprang. These [[mammals]] [[developed]] rapidly and in many [[different]] ways, not only giving rise to the common modern varieties but also evolving into [[marine]] [[types]], such as [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whales whales] and [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seals seals], and into air navigators like the [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bats bat] family.

65:2.13 [[Man]] thus evolved from the higher [[mammals]] derived principally from the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_58#58:4._THE_LIFE-DAWN_ERA western implantation] of life in the ancient east-west sheltered seas. The eastern and central groups of living [[organisms]] were early progressing favorably toward the [[attainment]] of prehuman levels of [[animal]] [[existence]]. But as the ages passed, the eastern [[focus]] of life emplacement failed to attain a satisfactory level of [[intelligent]] prehuman [[status]], having suffered such repeated and irretrievable losses of its highest types of [[germ plasm]] that it was forever shorn of the [[power]] to [[rehabilitate]] [[human]] [[potentialities]].

65:2.14 Since the [[quality]] of the [[mind]] [[capacity]] for [[development]] in this eastern group was so definitely inferior to that of the other two groups, the [[Life Carriers]], with the consent of their superiors, so [[manipulated]] the [[environment]] as further to [[circumscribe]] these inferior prehuman strains of evolving life. To all outward [[appearances]] the elimination of these inferior [[groups]] of [[creatures]] was [[accidental]], but in [[reality]] it was altogether [[purposeful]].

To all outward [[appearances]] the elimination of these inferior [[groups]] of [[creatures]] was [[accidental]], but in [[reality]] it was altogether [[purposeful]].

65:2.15 Later in the [[evolutionary]] unfolding of [[intelligence]], the [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemur lemur] [[ancestors]] of the [[human]] [[species]] were far more advanced in [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_America North America] than in other regions; and they were therefore led to [[migrate]] from the arena of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_58#58:4._THE_LIFE-DAWN_ERA western life implantation] over the [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beringia Bering land bridge] and down the coast to southwestern Asia, where they continued to [[evolve]] and to benefit by the addition of certain strains of the central life group. [[Man]] thus evolved out of certain western and central life strains but in the central to near-eastern regions.

65:2.16 In this way the life that was planted on [[Urantia]] evolved until the [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_Age ice age], when [[man]] himself first [[appeared]] and began his [[eventful]] [[planetary]] [[career]].

65:3.3 You have been informed that [[Urantia]] [[mortals]] evolved by way of [[primitive]] [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frog frog] [[development]], and that this [[ascending]] strain, carried in [[potential]] in a single frog, narrowly [[escaped]] [[extinction]] on a certain occasion. But it should not be inferred that the [[evolution]] of [[mankind]] would have been terminated by an [[accident]] at this juncture. At that very [[moment]] we were [[observing]] and fostering no less than one thousand [[different]] and remotely situated [[mutating]] strains of life which could have been directed into various [[different]] [[patterns]] of prehuman [[development]]. This particular [[ancestral]] frog represented our third selection, the two prior life strains having perished in spite of all our [[efforts]] toward their [[conservation]].

And many of these better stocks were subsequently assimilated by the various branches of the expanding [[human]] [[species]].

65:3.5 Long before the [[Material Son and Daughter]], the biologic uplifters, arrive on a [[planet]], the [[human]] [[potentials]] of the evolving [[animal]] [[species]] have been exhausted. This [[biologic]] [[status]] of [[animal]] life is disclosed to the [[Life Carriers]] by the [[phenomenon]] of the third phase of [[Adjutant Mind Spirits|adjutant spirit]] mobilization, which [[automatically]] occurs concomitantly with the exhaustion of the [[capacity]] of all [[animal]] life to give [[origin]] to the [[mutant]] [[potentials]] of prehuman [[individuals]].

65:4.8 Another outstanding variation of [[procedure]] was the late arrival of the [[Planetary Prince]]. As a rule, the prince appears on a [[planet]] about the time of [Free will|will]] [[development]]; and if such a [[plan]] had been followed, [[Caligastia]] might have come to [[Urantia]] even during the lifetimes of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_63#63:1._ANDON_AND_FONTA Andon and Fonta] instead of almost five hundred thousand years later, [[simultaneously]] with the [[appearance]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64 six Sangik races].

65:4.9 On an [[Normal|ordinary]] [[inhabited world]] a [[Planetary Prince]] would have been granted on the request of the [[Life Carriers]] at, or sometime after, the [[appearance]] of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_63#63:1._ANDON_AND_FONTA Andon and Fonta]. But [[Urantia]] having been designated a life-[[modification]] [[planet]], it was by preagreement that the [[Melchizedek]] [[observers]], twelve in [[number]], were sent as [[advisers]] to the [[Life Carriers]] and as overseers of the [[planet]] until the subsequent arrival of the [[Planetary Prince]].

65:4.10 On [[Urantia]] the endeavors of the [[Life Carriers]] to improve the [[Satania]] life [[patterns]] [[necessarily]] resulted in the production of many apparently useless [[forms]] of [[transition]] life. But the gains already accrued are sufficient to justify the [[Urantia]] [[modifications]] of the [[standard]] life [[designs]].

65:4.11 It was our [[intention]] to produce an early [[manifestation]] of [[Free will|will]] in the [[evolutionary]] life of [[Urantia]], and we succeeded. Ordinarily, [[Free will|will]] does not [[emerge]] until the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64 colored races] have long been in [[existence]], usually first appearing among the superior [[types]] of the red man.

65:4.12 But in our [[effort]] to provide for that combination and [[association]] of [[inheritance]] [[factors]] which finally gave rise to the [[mammalian]] [[ancestors]] of the [[human]] [[race]], we were confronted with the [[necessity]] of permitting hundreds and thousands of other and comparatively useless combinations and associations of inheritance factors to take place. Many of these seemingly strange by-products of our [[efforts]] are certain to meet your gaze as you dig back into the [[planetary]] [[past]], and I can well [[understand]] how puzzling some of these [[things]] must be to the [[limited]] [[human]] [[viewpoint]].

65:5.1 It was a [[source]] of [[regret]] to the [[Life Carriers]] that our special [[efforts]] to [[modify]] [[intelligent]] life on [[Urantia]] should have been so [[handicapped]] by [[tragic]] [[perversion]]s beyond our [[control]]: the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_67 Caligastia betrayal] and the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_75 Adamic default].

65:5.2 But throughout all of this [[biologic]] [[adventure]] our greatest [[disappointment]] grew out of the reversion of certain [[primitive]] [[plant]] life to the prechlorophyll levels of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasite parasitic] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteria bacteria] on such an extensive and unexpected [[scale]]. This [[eventuality]] in [[plant]]-life [[evolution]] caused many distressful [[diseases]] in the higher [[mammals]], particularly in the more vulnerable [[human]] [[species]].

65:5.3 The [[universe of universes]], including this small world called [[Urantia]], is not being [[managed]] merely to meet our approval nor just to suit our convenience, much less to gratify our whims and satisfy our [[curiosity]]. The [[wise]] and [[all-powerful]] [[beings]] who are [[responsible]] for [[universe]] [[management]] undoubtedly know exactly what they are about; and so it becomes [[Life Carriers]] and behooves [[mortal]] [[minds]] to enlist in [[patient]] waiting and hearty [[co-operation]] with the rule of [[wisdom]], the reign of [[power]], and the march of [[progress]].

65:6.4 One of the most serviceable and [[complex]] [[episodes]] in the [[evolution]] of the higher [[types]] of [[animals]] consisted in the [[development]] of the [[ability]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron iron] in the circulating [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_cells blood cells] to [[perform]] in the double role of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen oxygen] carrier and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide carbon dioxide] remover.

65:6.5 The [[continuation]] of such [[biologic]] [[adjustments]] is [[illustrated]] by the [[evolution]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teeth teeth] in the higher [[Urantia]] [[mammals]]; these [[attained]] to thirty-six in [[man]]'s remote [[ancestors]], and then began an [[adaptative]] readjustment toward thirty-two in the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_62 dawn man] and his near relatives.

65:7.6 The acquisition of the [[potential]] of the [[ability]] to [[learn]] from [[experience]] marks the beginning of the [[functioning]] of the [[adjutant spirits]], and they [[function]] from the lowliest [[minds]] of [[primitive]] and [[invisible]] [[existences]] up to the highest [[types]] in the [[evolutionary]] [[scale]] of [[human beings]].
