==67:4. THE CALIGASTIA ONE HUNDRED AFTER REBELLION==     

67:4.1 When the final roll was called, the corporeal members of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:2._THE_PRINCE.27S_STAFF Prince's staff] were found to have [[aligned]] themselves as follows: [[Van]] and his entire [[court]] of [[co-ordination]] had remained [[loyal]]. Ang and three members of the [[food]] [[council]] had [[survived]]. The board of [http://www.wikipedia.org/Animal_husbandry animal husbandry] were all swept into [[rebellion]] as were all of the [[animal]]-conquest advisers. Fad and five members of the [[educational]] [[faculty]] were saved. Nod and all of the commission on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industry industry] and trade joined [[Caligastia]]. Hap and the entire [[college]] of [[revealed]] [[religion]] remained [[loyal]] with Van and his noble band. Lut and the whole board of [[health]] were lost. The council of [[art]] and [[science]] remained [[loyal]] in its entirety, but Tut and the commission on [[tribal]] [[government]] all went astray. Thus were forty out of the one hundred saved, later to be [[transferred]] to [[Jerusem]], where they resumed their [[Paradise]] [[journey]].

67:4.2 The sixty members of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:2._THE_PRINCE.27S_STAFF planetary staff] who went into [[rebellion]] chose [[Nod]] as their [[leader]]. They worked wholeheartedly for the [[rebel]] [[Planetary Prince|Prince]] but soon [[discovered]] that they were deprived of the sustenance of [[the system]] life [[circuits]]. They [[awakened]] to the [[fact]] that they had been degraded to the [[status]] of [[mortal]] [[beings]]. They were indeed superhuman but, at the same time, [[material]] and [[mortal]]. In an [[effort]] to increase their numbers, [[Daligastia]] ordered [[immediate]] resort to [[sexual]] [[reproduction]], knowing full well that the [[original]] sixty and their forty-four [[modified]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_63#63:5._DISPERSION_OF_THE_ANDONITES Andonite] [[associates]] were [[doomed]] to suffer [[extinction]] by [[death]], sooner or later. After the fall of [[Dalamatia]] the disloyal staff [[migrated]] to the north and the east. Their [[descendants]] were long known as the [[Nodites]], and their dwelling place as "the land of Nod."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_genesis#Chapter_.4]

67:5.3 The [[Caligastia]] [[scheme]] for the [[immediate]] reconstruction of [[human]] [[society]] in [[accordance]] with his [[ideas]] of [[individual]] [[freedom]] and [[group]] liberties, proved a swift and more or less complete [[failure]]. [[Society]] quickly sank back to its old [[biologic]] [[level]], and the forward [[struggle]] began all over, starting not very far in advance of where it was at the beginning of the [[Caligastia]] [[regime]], this upheaval having left the world in [[confusion]] worse confounded.

67:5.4 One hundred and sixty-two years after [[the rebellion]] a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_wave tidal wave] swept up over [[Dalamatia]], and the [[planetary]] [[headquarters]] sank beneath the [[waters]] of the [[sea]], and this [[land]] did not again [[emerge]] until almost every vestige of the [[noble]] culture of those splendid ages had been [[obliterated]].

67:5.5 When the first capital of the world was engulfed, it harbored only the lowest types of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64#64:6._THE_SIX_SANGIK_RACES_OF_URANTIA Sangik races] of [[Urantia]], renegades who had already [[converted]] [[the Father]]'s [[temple]] into a [[shrine]] dedicated to Nog, the false god of [[light]] and [[fire]].

==67:7. REMOTE REPERCUSSIONS OF SIN==

==67:7. REMOTE REPERCUSSIONS OF SIN==

67:7.1 The personal (centripetal) consequences of the creature's willful and persistent rejection of light are both inevitable and individual and are of concern only to Deity and to that personal creature. Such a soul-destroying harvest of iniquity is the inner reaping of the iniquitous will creature.

67:7.1 The [[personal]] (centripetal) [[consequences]] of the [[creature]]'s willful and [[persistent]] rejection of [[light]] are both [[inevitable]] and [[individual]] and are of concern only to [[Deity]] and to that [[personal]] [[creature]]. Such a [[soul]]-destroying [[harvest]] of [[iniquity]] is the inner reaping of the [[iniquitous]] [[Free will|will]] [[creature]].

67:7.2 But not so with the external repercussions of sin: The impersonal (centrifugal) consequences of embraced sin are both inevitable and collective, being of concern to every creature functioning within the affect-range of such events.

67:7.2 But not so with the external [[repercussions]] of [[sin]]: The [[impersonal]] ([[centrifugal]]) consequences of [[embraced]] [[sin]] are both [[inevitable]] and [[collective]], being of concern to every [[creature]] [[functioning]] within the affect-range of such [[events]].

67:7.3 By fifty thousand years after the collapse of the planetary administration, earthly affairs were so disorganized and retarded that the human race had gained very little over the general evolutionary status existing at the time of Caligastia' s arrival three hundred and fifty thousand years previously. In certain respects progress had been made; in other directions much ground had been lost.

In certain respects [[progress]] had been made; in other directions much ground had been lost.

67:7.4 Sin is never purely local in its effects. The administrative sectors of the universes are organismal; the plight of one personality must to a certain extent be shared by all. Sin, being an attitude of the person toward reality, is destined to exhibit its inherent negativistic harvest upon any and all related levels of universe values. But the full consequences of erroneous thinking, evil-doing, or sinful planning are experienced only on the level of actual performance. The transgression of universe law may be fatal in the physical realm without seriously involving the mind or impairing the spiritual experience. Sin is fraught with fatal consequences to personality survival only when it is the attitude of the whole being, when it stands for the choosing of the mind and the willing of the soul.

67:7.5 Evil and sin visit their consequences in material and social realms and may sometimes even retard spiritual progress on certain levels of universe reality, but never does the sin of any being rob another of the realization of the divine right of personality survival. Eternal survival can be jeopardized only by the decisions of the mind and the choice of the soul of the individual himself.

67:7.6 Sin on Urantia did very little to delay biologic evolution, but it did operate to deprive the mortal races of the full benefit of the Adamic inheritance. Sin enormously retards intellectual development, moral growth, social progress, and mass spiritual attainment. But it does not prevent the highest spiritual achievement by any individual who chooses to know God and sincerely do his divine will.

But it does not prevent the highest [[spiritual]] [[achievement]] by any [[individual]] who chooses to know [[God]] and [[sincerely]] do his [[divine]] will.

67:7.7 Caligastia rebelled, Adam and Eve did default, but no mortal subsequently born on Urantia has suffered in his personal spiritual experience because of these blunders. Every mortal born on Urantia since Caligastia's rebellion has been in some manner time-penalized, but the future welfare of such souls has never been in the least eternity-jeopardized. No person is ever made to suffer vital spiritual deprivation because of the sin of another. Sin is wholly personal as to moral guilt or spiritual consequences, notwithstanding its far-flung repercussions in administrative, intellectual, and social domains.

67:7.8 While we cannot fathom the wisdom that permits such catastrophes, we can always discern the beneficial outworking of these local disturbances as they are reflected out upon the universe at large.

==67:8. THE HUMAN HERO OF THE REBELLION==

==67:8. THE HUMAN HERO OF THE REBELLION==

67:8.1 The Lucifer rebellion was withstood by many courageous beings on the various worlds of Satania; but the records of Salvington portray Amadon as the outstanding character of the entire system in his glorious rejection of the flood tides of sedition and in his unswerving devotion to Van—they stood together unmoved in their loyalty to the supremacy of the invisible Father and his Son Michael.

67:8.2 At the time of these momentous transactions I was stationed on Edentia, and I am still conscious of the exhilaration I experienced as I perused the Salvington broadcasts which told from day to day of the unbelievable steadfastness, the transcendent devotion, and the exquisite loyalty of this onetime semisavage springing from the experimental and original stock of the Andonic race.

67:8.3 From Edentia up through Salvington and even on to Uversa, for seven long years the first inquiry of all subordinate celestial life regarding the Satania rebellion, ever and always, was: " What of Amadon of Urantia, does he still stand unmoved? "

67:8.4 If the Lucifer rebellion has handicapped the local system and its fallen worlds, if the loss of this Son and his misled associates has temporarily hampered the progress of the constellation of Norlatiadek, then weigh the effect of the far-flung presentation of the inspiring performance of this one child of nature and his determined band of 143 comrades in standing steadfast for the higher concepts of universe management and administration in the face of such tremendous and adverse pressure exerted by his disloyal superiors. And let me assure you, this has already done more good in the universe of Nebadon and the superuniverse of Orvonton than can ever be outweighed by the sum total of all the evil and sorrow of the Lucifer rebellion.

67:8.5 And all this is a beautifully touching and superbly magnificent illumination of the wisdom of the Father's universal plan for mobilizing the Corps of Mortal Finality on Paradise and for recruiting this vast group of mysterious servants of the future largely from the common clay of the mortals of ascending progression—just such mortals as the impregnable Amadon.
