==66:1. PRINCE CALIGASTIA==

−

66:1.1 [[Caligastia]] was a [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_35#35:8._THE_LANONANDEK_SONS Lanonandek Son], number 9,344 of the secondary order.

He was [[experienced]] in the [[administration]] of the affairs of the [[local universe]] in general and, during later ages, with the [[management]] of the [[local system]] of [[Satania]] in particular.

66:1.2 Prior to the reign of [[Lucifer]] in [[Satania]], [[Caligastia]] had been attached to the [[council]] of the [[Life Carrier]] advisers on [[Jerusem]]. [[Lucifer]] elevated [[Caligastia]] to a position on his personal staff, and he acceptably filled five [[successive]] assignments of [[honor]] and [[trust]].

−

66:1.3 [[Caligastia]] very early sought a commission as [[Planetary Prince]], but repeatedly, when his request came up for approval in the [[constellation]] [[councils]], it would fail to receive the assent of the [[Constellation Fathers]]. [[Caligastia]] seemed especially [[desirous]] of being sent as [[planetary]] ruler to a [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_58#PAPER_58:_LIFE_ESTABLISHMENT_ON_URANTIA decimal or life-modification world]. His [[petition]] had several times been disapproved before he was finally assigned to [[Urantia]].

His [[petition]] had several times been disapproved before he was finally assigned to [[Urantia]].

66:1.4 [[Caligastia]] went forth from [[Jerusem]] to his trust of world [[dominion]] with an enviable [[record]] of [[loyalty]] and [[devotion]] to the welfare of the [[universe]] of his [[origin]] and [[sojourn]], notwithstanding a certain characteristic restlessness coupled with a [[tendency]] to disagree with the [[established]] order in certain minor matters.

Line 25: Line 25:

66:2.2 At the head of this group was [[Daligastia]], the [[associate]]-assistant of the [[Planetary Prince]]. Daligastia was also a secondary [[Lanonandek Son]], being number 319,407 of that order. He ranked as an assistant at the time of his assignment as [[Caligastia]]' s [[associate]].

−

66:2.3 The [[planetary]] staff included a large number of [[angelic]] co-operators and a host of other [[celestial]] [[beings]] assigned to advance the interests and promote the [[welfare]] of the [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64 human races]. But from your [[standpoint]] the most interesting [[group]] of all were the [[Material|corporeal]] members of the Prince's staff—sometimes referred to as the Caligastia one hundred.

But from your [[standpoint]] the most interesting [[group]] of all were the [[Material|corporeal]] members of the Prince's staff—sometimes referred to as the Caligastia one hundred.

66:2.4 These one hundred rematerialized members of the Prince's staff were [[chosen]] by [[Caligastia]] from over 785,000 [[ascendant]] [[citizens]] of [[Jerusem]] who [[volunteered]] for embarkation on the [[Urantia]] [[adventure]]. Each one of the chosen one hundred was from a [[different]] [[planet]], and none of them were from [[Urantia]].

Line 31: Line 31:

66:2.5 These [[Jerusem]]ite [[volunteers]] were brought by [[seraphic]] [[transport]] direct from the [[system capital]] to [[Urantia]], and upon arrival they were held enseraphimed until they could be provided with [[personality]] [[forms]] of the [[dual]] [[nature]] of special [[planetary]] [[service]], [[literal]] bodies consisting of [[flesh]] and blood but also [[attuned]] to the life [[circuits]] of [[the system]].

−

66:2.6 Sometime before the arrival of these one hundred [[Jerusem]] [[citizens]], the two supervising [[Life Carriers]] resident on [[Urantia]], having previously [[perfected]] their [[plans]], [[petitioned]] [[Jerusem]] and [[Edentia]] for permission to transplant the [[life plasm]] of one hundred selected [[survivors]] of the [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_63 Andon and Fonta] stock into the [[material]] [[bodies]] to be [[projected]] for the corporeal members of the Prince's staff.

66:2.7 Accordingly, fifty [[males]] and fifty [[females]] of the [[Andon and Fonta]] [[posterity]], [[representing]] the [[survival]] of the best strains of that [[unique]] [[race]], were chosen by the [[Life Carriers]]. With one or two exceptions these [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_63#63:5._DISPERSION_OF_THE_ANDONITES Andonite] contributors to the advancement of the [[race]] were strangers to one another.

This living [[material]] was then [[transferred]] to the [[material]] [[bodies]] constructed for the use of the one hundred [[Jerusem]]ite members of the Prince's staff. Meantime, these newly arrived [[citizens]] of the [[system capital]] were held in the [[sleep]] of [[seraphic]] [[transport]].

66:2.8 These [[transactions]], together with the [[literal]] [[creation]] of special [[bodies]] for the [[Caligastia]] one hundred, gave [[origin]] to numerous [[legends]], many of which subsequently became [[confused]] with the later [[traditions]] concerning the planetary installation of [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_74 Adam and Eve].

66:2.9 The entire [[transaction]] of [[repersonalization]], from the [[time]] of the arrival of the [[seraphic transport]]s bearing the one hundred [[Jerusem]] [[volunteers]] until they became [[conscious]], threefold beings of the realm, consumed exactly [[ten]] days.

−

66:3.2 The [[climate]] and landscape in the [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamia Mesopotamia] of those times were in every way favorable to the undertakings of the [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:2._THE_PRINCE.27S_STAFF Prince's staff] and their assistants, very [[different]] from conditions which have sometimes since prevailed. It was [[necessary]] to have such a favoring [[climate]] as a part of the [[natural]] [[environment]] [[designed]] to induce [[primitive]] [[Urantians]] to make certain initial advances in [[culture]] and [[civilization]]. The one great task of those ages was to [[transform]] man from a [[hunter]] to a [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herder herder], with the [[hope]] that later on he would evolve into a [[peace]]-loving, [[home]]-abiding [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farmer farmer].

66:3.3 The [[headquarters]] of the [[Planetary Prince]] on [[Urantia]] was typical of such stations on a young and [[developing]] [[sphere]]. The [[nucleus]] of the Prince's settlement was a very [[simple]] but [[beautiful]] [[city]], enclosed within a wall forty feet high. This world [[center]] of [[culture]] was named ''Dalamatia'' in [[honor]] of [[Daligastia]].

Line 51: Line 51:

66:3.5 The buildings of [[Dalamatia]] were all one story except the [[council]] [[headquarters]], which were two stories, and the central [[temple]] of [[the Father]] of all, which was small but three stories in height.

66:3.6 The [[city]] [[represented]] the best [[practices]] of those early days in building [[material]]—[~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brick brick]. Very little stone or wood was used. [[Home]] building and village [[architecture]] among the [[surrounding]] peoples were greatly improved by the [[Dalamatia]]n example.

66:3.7 Near the Prince's [[headquarters]] there dwelt all [[colors]] and strata of [[human beings]].

Although these early schools of [[Dalamatia]] were crude, they provided all that could be done for the [[men]] and [[women]] of that [[primitive]] age.

66:3.8 The Prince's corporeal staff continuously gathered about them the superior [[individuals]] of the [[surrounding]] [[tribes]] and, after [[training]] and [[inspiring]] these [[students]], sent them back as [[teachers]] and [[leaders]] of their respective peoples.

==66:4. EARLY DAYS OF THE ONE HUNDRED==

−

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]].

Line 71: Line 71:

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].

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].

66:4.9 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.

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]].

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.

==66:5. ORGANIZATION OF THE ONE HUNDRED==

Line 95: Line 95:

66:5.1 The one hundred were [[organized]] for [[service]] in [[ten]] [[autonomous]] [[councils]] of ten members each. When two or more of these ten councils met in joint session, such [[liaison]] gatherings were presided over by [[Daligastia]]. These ten [[groups]] were [[constituted]] as follows:

−

66:5.2 1. ''The council on food and material welfare''. This [[group]] was presided over by ''Ang''. [[Food]], [[water]], clothes, and the material advancement of the [[human]] [[species]] were fostered by this able corps. They taught [[well]] digging, spring control, and [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrigation irrigation]. They taught those from the higher altitudes and from the north improved [[methods]] of treating [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_skin skins] for use as [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clothing clothing], and [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weaving weaving] was later introduced by the [[teachers]] of [[art]] and [[science]].

66:5.3 Great advances were made in [[methods]] of food storage. Food was preserved by [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooking cooking], [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drying drying], and [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_%28cooking%29 smoking]; it thus became the earliest [[property]].

66:5.5 Several [[types]] of useful [[animals]], now [[extinct]], were [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestication tamed], [[together]] with some that have [[continued]] as domesticated animals to the [[present]] day.

The [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cow cow] was so improved by careful [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breeding breeding] as to become a valuable [[source]] of [[food]]; butter and cheese became common articles of [[human]] [[diet]].

But there is no [[natural]] [[origin]] for the weekly period.

==66:8. MISFORTUNES OF CALIGASTIA==

−

66:8.1 In looking back over the long career of Caligastia, we find only one outstanding feature of his conduct that might have challenged attention; he was ultraindividualistic. He was inclined to take sides with almost every party of protest, and he was usually sympathetic with those who gave mild expression to implied criticism. We detect the early appearance of this tendency to be restless under authority, to mildly resent all forms of supervision. While slightly resentful of senior counsel and somewhat restive under superior authority, nonetheless, whenever a test had come, he had always proved loyal to the universe rulers and obedient to the mandates of the Constellation Fathers. No real fault was ever found in him up to the time of his shameful betrayal of Urantia.

66:8.2 It should be noted that both Lucifer and Caligastia had been patiently instructed and lovingly warned respecting their critical tendencies and the subtle development of their pride of self and its associated exaggeration of the feeling of self-importance. But all of these attempts to help had been misconstrued as unwarranted criticism and as unjustified interference with personal liberties. Both Caligastia and Lucifer judged their friendly advisers as being actuated by the very reprehensible motives which were beginning to dominate their own distorted thinking and misguided planning. They judged their unselfish advisers by their own evolving selfishness.

66:8.3 From the arrival of Prince Caligastia, planetary civilization progressed in a fairly normal manner for almost three hundred thousand years. Aside from being a life-modification sphere and therefore subject to numerous irregularities and unusual episodes of evolutionary fluctuation, Urantia progressed very satisfactorily in its planetary career up to the times of the Lucifer rebellion and the concurrent Caligastia betrayal. All subsequent history has been definitely modified by this catastrophic blunder as well as by the later failure of Adam and Eve to fulfill their planetary mission.

66:8.4 The Prince of Urantia went into darkness at the time of the Lucifer rebellion, thus precipitating the long confusion of the planet. He was subsequently deprived of sovereign authority by the co-ordinate action of the constellation rulers and other universe authorities. He shared the inevitable vicissitudes of isolated Urantia down to the time of Adam's sojourn on the planet and contributed something to the miscarriage of the plan to uplift the mortal races through the infusion of the lifeblood of the new violet ~~race—the~~ descendants of Adam and Eve.

66:8.5 The power of the fallen Prince to disturb human affairs was enormously curtailed by the mortal incarnation of Machiventa Melchizedek in the days of Abraham; and subsequently, during the life of Michael in the flesh, this traitorous Prince was finally shorn of all authority on Urantia.

−

66:8.6 The doctrine of a personal devil on Urantia, though it had some foundation in the planetary presence of the traitorous and iniquitous Caligastia, was nevertheless wholly fictitious in its teachings that such a " devil " could influence the normal human mind against its free and natural choosing. Even before Michael's bestowal on Urantia, neither Caligastia nor Daligastia was ever able to oppress mortals or to coerce any normal individual into doing anything against the human will. The free will of man is supreme in moral affairs; even the indwelling Thought Adjuster refuses to compel man to think a single thought or to perform a single act against the choosing of man's own will.
