==67:1. THE CALIGASTIA BETRAYAL==  

==67:1. THE CALIGASTIA BETRAYAL==  

67:1.1 For three hundred thousand years [[Caligastia]] had been in charge of [[Urantia]] when [[Satan]], [[Lucifer]]' s assistant, made one of his periodic [[Visit|inspection calls]]. And when [[Satan]] arrived on the [[planet]], his [[appearance]] in no way resembled your caricatures of his [[nefarious]] [[majesty]]. He was, and still is, a [[Lanonandek]] Son of great [[brilliance]]. "And no [[marvel]], for [[Satan]] himself is a brilliant [[creature]] of [[light]]."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2nd_Letter_of_Paul_to_the_Corinthians#2nd_Letter_of_Paul_to_the_Corinthians.2C_XI]

67:1.2 In the [[course]] of this [[Visit|inspection]] [[Satan]] informed [[Caligastia]] of [[Lucifer]]'s then proposed "[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_53#53:3._THE_LUCIFER_MANIFESTO Declaration of Liberty]," and as we now know, the [[Planetary Prince|Prince]] [[agreed]] to [[betray]] the [[planet]] upon the announcement of [[the rebellion]]. The [[loyal]] [[universe]] [[personalities]] look with peculiar disdain upon Prince [[Caligastia]] because of this premeditated [[betrayal]] of [[trust]]. The [[Creator Son]] voiced this [[contempt]] when he said: "You are like your [[leader]], [[Lucifer]], and you have [[sin]]fully perpetuated his [[iniquity]]. He was a falsifier from the beginning of his self-exaltation because he abode not in the [[truth]]."

67:1.3 In all the [[administrative]] work of a [[local universe]] no high [[trust]] is deemed more [[sacred]] than that reposed in a [[Planetary Prince]] who assumes [[responsibility]] for the welfare and [[guidance]] of the evolving [[mortals]] on a newly [[inhabited world]]. And of all [[forms]] of [[evil]], none are more destructive of [[personality]] [[status]] than [[betrayal]] of [[trust]] and disloyalty to one's confiding [[friends]]. In committing this [[deliberate]] [[sin]], [[Caligastia]] so completely distorted his [[personality]] that his [[mind]] has never since been able fully to regain its [[equilibrium]].

In committing this [[deliberate]] [[sin]], [[Caligastia]] so completely distorted his [[personality]] that his [[mind]] has never since been able fully to regain its [[equilibrium]].

67:2.1 Shortly after [[Satan]]' s [[Visit|inspection]] and when the [[planetary]] [[administration]] was on the eve of the [[realization]] of great things on [[Urantia]], one day, midwinter of the northern continents, [[Caligastia]] held a prolonged conference with his [[associate]], [[Daligastia]], after which the latter called the ten councils of [[Urantia]] in session extraordinary. This assembly was opened with the [[statement]] that Prince [[Caligastia]] was about to proclaim himself [[absolute]] [[sovereign]] of [[Urantia]] and demanded that all [[administrative]] [[groups]] abdicate by resigning all of their [[functions]] and [[powers]] into the hands of [[Daligastia]] as trustee, pending the reorganization of the [[planetary]] [[government]] and the subsequent redistribution of these offices of [[administrative]] [[authority]].

67:2.2 The presentation of this astounding demand was followed by the masterly appeal of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_67#67:6._VAN.E2.80.94THE_STEADFAST Van], chairman of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:5._ORGANIZATION_OF_THE_ONE_HUNDRED supreme council of co-ordination]. This distinguished [[administrator]] and able [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurist jurist] branded the proposed [[course]] of [[Caligastia]] as an act bordering on [[planetary]] [[rebellion]] and appealed to his conferees to abstain from all [[participation]] until an [[appeal]] could be taken to [[Lucifer]], the [[System Sovereign]] of [[Satania]]; and he won the [[support]] of the entire staff. Accordingly, [[appeal]] was taken to [[Jerusem]], and forthwith came back the orders designating [[Caligastia]] as supreme [[sovereign]] on [[Urantia]] and commanding [[absolute]] and unquestioning [[allegiance]] to his [[mandates]]. And it was in reply to this amazing [[message]] that the [[noble]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_67#67:6._VAN.E2.80.94THE_STEADFAST Van] made his memorable address of seven hours' length in which he [[formally]] drew his [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indict indictment] of [[Daligastia]], [[Caligastia]], and [[Lucifer]] as standing in [[contempt]] of the [[sovereignty]] of the [[universe]] of [[Nebadon]]; and he [[appealed]] to the [[Most Highs]] of [[Edentia]] for [[support]] and [[confirmation]].

67:2.3 Meantime [[the system]] [[circuits]] had been severed; [[Urantia]] was [[isolated]]. Every [[group]] of [[celestial]] life on the [[planet]] found itself suddenly and without warning [[isolated]], utterly cut off from all outside [[counsel]] and advice.

67:2.5 [[Seraphim]] and [[cherubim]] and other [[celestial]] [[beings]] were involved in the [[decisions]] of this bitter [[struggle]], this long and sinful [[conflict]]. Many superhuman [[groups]] that chanced to be on [[Urantia]] at the time of its [[isolation]] were [[detained]] here and, like the [[seraphim]] and their [[associates]], were compelled to [[choose]] between [[sin]] and [[righteousness]]—between the ways of [[Lucifer]] and the will of [[the unseen Father]].

67:2.6 For more than [[seven]] years this [[struggle]] continued. Not until every [[personality]] concerned had made a final [[decision]], would or did the [[authorities]] of [[Edentia]] [[interfere]] or intervene. Not until then did [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_67#67:6._VAN.E2.80.94THE_STEADFAST Van] and his [[loyal]] [[associates]] receive vindication and release from their prolonged [[anxiety]] and intolerable [[suspense]].

67:3.1 The outbreak of [[rebellion]] on Jerusem, the [[capital]] of [[Satania]], was [[broadcast]] by the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_43#43:2._THE_CONSTELLATION_GOVERNMENT Melchizedek council]. The [[emergency]] [[Melchizedeks]] were [[immediately]] dispatched to [[Jerusem]], and [[Gabriel]] [[volunteered]] to [[act]] as the [[representative]] of the [[Creator Son]], whose [[authority]] had been [[challenged]]. With this [[broadcast]] of the [[fact]] of [[rebellion]] in [[Satania]] [[the system]] was [[isolated]], quarantined, from her sister systems. There was "war in heaven,"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Revelation#Chapter_12] the [[headquarters]] of [[Satania]], and it spread to every [[planet]] in the [[local system]].

Many of the staff's [[human]] assistants ([[modified]] and otherwise) were also [[brave]] and [[noble]] defenders of [[Michael]] and his [[universe]] [[government]]. There was a terrible loss of [[personalities]] among [[seraphim]] and [[cherubim]]. Almost one half of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Seraphim#39:4._ADMINISTRATOR_SERAPHIM administrator] and [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Seraphim#39:6._TRANSITION_MINISTERS transition seraphim] assigned to the [[planet]] joined their [[leader]] and [[Daligastia]] in [[support]] of the [[cause]] of [[Lucifer]]. Forty thousand one hundred and nineteen of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_77#77:1._THE_PRIMARY_MIDWAYERS primary midway creatures] joined hands with [[Caligastia]], but the remainder of these [[beings]] remained true to their [[trust]].

67:3.3 The traitorous Prince marshaled the disloyal [[midway creatures]] and other [[groups]] of rebel [[personalities]] and [[organized]] them to [[execute]] his bidding, while Van assembled the [[loyal]] [[midwayers]] and other [[faithful]] [[groups]] and began the great battle for the [[salvation]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:2._THE_PRINCE.27S_STAFF planetary staff] and other marooned [[celestial]] [[personalities]].

67:3.4 During the times of this [[struggle]] the loyalists dwelt in an unwalled and poorly [[protected]] settlement a few miles to the east of [[Dalamatia]], but their dwellings were guarded day and night by the alert and ever-watchful [[loyal]] [[midway creatures]], and they had [[possession]] of the priceless [[tree of life]].

67:3.5 Upon the outbreak of [[rebellion]], loyal [[cherubim]] and [[seraphim]], with the aid of three faithful [[midwayers]], assumed the custody of the [[tree of life]] and permitted only the forty loyalists of the staff and their [[associated]] [[modified]] [[mortals]] to partake of the fruit and leaves of this [[energy]] [[plant]]. There were fifty-six of these modified Andonite associates of the staff, sixteen of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_63#63:4._THE_ANDONIC_CLANS Andonite] attendants of the disloyal staff refusing to go into [[rebellion]] with their masters.

67:3.7 This [[seven]] years of waiting was a time of [[heart]] searching and [[soul]] [[discipline]].

[[Education]], [[training]], and [[experience]] are factors in most of the vital [[decisions]] of all [[evolutionary]] [[moral]] [[creatures]].

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/wiki/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]].

67:4.2 The sixty members of the [https://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]].

67:4.3 The [[presence]] of these extraordinary supermen and superwomen, stranded by [[rebellion]] and presently [[mating]] with the sons and daughters of [[earth]], easily gave [[origin]] to those [[traditional]] [[stories]] of the [[gods]] coming down to [[mate]] with [[mortals]].

67:4.4 The staff [[rebels]], deprived of [[spiritual]] sustenance, [[eventually]] died a [[natural]] [[death]].

67:4.6 It was very difficult for such [[beings]] as [[angels]] and [[midwayers]] to [[conceive]] of [[brilliant]] and trusted rulers like [[Caligastia]] and [[Daligastia]] going astray—committing [[traitorous]] [[sin]]. Those [[beings]] who fell into [[sin]]—they did not [[deliberately]] or premeditatedly enter upon [[rebellion]]—were misled by their superiors, [[deceived]] by their trusted [[leaders]]. It was likewise easy to win the [[support]] of the [[primitive]]-[[minded]] evolutionary [[mortals]].

==67:6. VAN—THE STEADFAST==

67:6.1 The followers of [[Van]] early withdrew to the highlands west of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India India], where they were exempt from [[attacks]] by the [[confused]] [[races]] of the lowlands, and from which place of retirement they [[planned]] for the [[rehabilitation]] of the world as their early [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64#64:3._THE_BADONAN_TRIBES Badonite] predecessors had once all unwittingly [[worked]] for the welfare of [[mankind]] just before the days of the [[birth]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64#64:6._THE_SIX_SANGIK_RACES_OF_URANTIA Sangik tribes].

67:6.2 Before the arrival of the [[Melchizedek]] receivers, [[Van]] placed the [[administration]] of [[human]] affairs in the hands of ten commissions of four each, [[groups]] identical with those of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:5._ORGANIZATION_OF_THE_ONE_HUNDRED Prince's regime].

67:6.3 These [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_73#73:1._THE_NODITES_AND_THE_AMADONITES Amadonites] were derived from the [[group]] of 144 loyal [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_63#63:5._DISPERSION_OF_THE_ANDONITES Andonites] to which [[Amadon]] belonged, and who have become known by his [[name]]. This [[group]] comprised thirty-nine [[men]] and one hundred and five [[women]]. Fifty-six of this number were of [[immortality]] status, and all (except [[Amadon]]) were [[translated]] along with the [[loyal]] members of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:2._THE_PRINCE.27S_STAFF the staff]. The remainder of this [[noble]] band continued on [[earth]] to the end of their [[mortal]] days under the [[leadership]] of [[Van]] and [[Amadon]].

67:6.4 [[Van]] was left on [[Urantia]] until the time of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_74 Adam], remaining as titular head of all superhuman [[personalities]] [[functioning]] on the [[planet]]. He and [[Amadon]] were [[sustained]] by the [[technique]] of the [[tree of life]] in conjunction with the specialized life ministry of the [[Melchizedeks]] for over one hundred and fifty thousand years.

67:6.5 The affairs of [[Urantia]] were for a long time [[administered]] by a [[council]] of ''planetary receivers'', ''twelve [[Melchizedeks]]'', [[confirmed]] by the [[mandate]] of the senior [[constellation]] ruler, the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_43#43:3._THE_MOST_HIGHS_OF_NORLATIADEK Most High Father] of [[Norlatiadek]].

And thus was [[Urantia]] governed and [[administered]] until the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_74 arrival of Adam]. It is not strange that the [[courageous]] and loyal [[Van]] was assigned a place on the [[council]] of [[planetary]] receivers which for so long [[administered]] the affairs of [[Urantia]].

67:6.6 The twelve [[Melchizedek]] receivers of [[Urantia]] did [[heroic]] [[work]]. They preserved the remnants of [[civilization]], and their [[planetary]] [[policies]] were [[faithfully]] [[executed]] by [[Van]]. Within one thousand years after [[the rebellion]] he had more than three hundred and fifty advanced [[groups]] scattered abroad in the world.

67:6.7 Notwithstanding the terrible setback of [[rebellion]] there were many [[good]] strains of [[biologic]] [[promise]] on [[earth]]. Under the supervision of the [[Melchizedek]] receivers, [[Van]] and [[Amadon]] continued the [[work]] of fostering the [[natural]] [[evolution]] of the [[human]] [[race]], carrying forward the [[physical]] [[evolution]] of man until it reached that culminating [[attainment]] which warranted the dispatch of a [[Material Son and Daughter]] to [[Urantia]].

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]].
