55:6.2 On [[Urantia]], and as you are, you can have little [[appreciation]] of the advanced [[status]] and [[progressive]] [[nature]] of the [[enlightened]] [[races]] of these [[perfected]] worlds. These people are the flowering of the [[evolutionary]] [[races]]. But such [[beings]] are still [[mortal]]; they continue to [[breathe]], eat, [[sleep]], and drink. This great [[evolution]] is not [[heaven]], but it is a [[sublime]] [[foreshadowing]] of the [[divine]] worlds of the [[Paradise]] [[ascent]].

55:6.3 On a [[normal]] world the [[biologic]] fitness of the [[mortal]] [[race]] was long since brought up to a high level during the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_52#52:3._POST-ADAMIC_MAN post-Adamic epochs]; and now, from age to age throughout the settled eras the [[physical]] [[evolution]] of [[man]] continues. Both [[vision]] and [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Senses#Audition hearing] are extended. By now the [[population]] has become stationary in numbers. [[Reproduction]] is regulated in [[accordance]] with [[planetary]] requirements and [[innate]] [[hereditary]] [[endowments]]: The [[mortals]] on a [[planet]] during this [[age]] are divided into from five to ten groups, and the lower [[groups]] are permitted to produce only one half as many [[children]] as the higher. The continued improvement of such a [[magnificent]] [[race]] throughout the era of [[light and life]] is largely a matter of the selective [[reproduction]] of those racial strains which exhibit superior [[qualities]] of a [[social]], [[philosophic]], [[cosmic]], and [[spiritual]] [[nature]].

55:6.4 The [[Adjusters]] continue to come as in former [[evolutionary]] eras, and as the [[epochs]] pass, these [[mortals]] are increasingly able to [[commune]] with the indwelling [[Father fragment]]. During the [[embryonic]] and prespiritual [[stages]] of [[development]] the [[adjutant mind-spirits]] are still [[functioning]]. The [[Holy Spirit]] and the [[ministry]] of [[angels]] are even more [[effective]] as the [[successive]] [[epochs]] of settled life are [[experienced]]. In the fourth stage of [[light and life]] the advanced [[mortals]] seem to [[experience]] considerable [[conscious]] [[contact]] with the [[spirit]] [[presence]] of the [[Master Spirit]] of [[superuniverse]] [[jurisdiction]], while the [[philosophy]] of such a world is [[focused]] upon the attempt to [[comprehend]] the new [[revelations]] of [[God the Supreme]]. More than one half of the human [[inhabitants]] on [[planets]] of this advanced [[status]] [[experience]] [[translation]] to the [[morontia]] [[state]] from among the living. Even so, "old things are passing away; behold, all things are becoming new."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2nd_Letter_of_Paul_to_the_Corinthians#2nd_Letter_of_Paul_to_the_Corinthians.2C_V]

55:6.5 We [[conceive]] that [[physical]] [[evolution]] will have [[attained]] its full [[development]] by the end of the fifth epoch of the [[light-and-life]] era. We [[observe]] that the upper [[limits]] of [[spiritual]] [[development]] [[associated]] with [[evolving]] [[human]] [[mind]] are determined by the [[Adjuster]]-[[fusion]] level of conjoint [[morontia]] [[values]] and [[cosmic]] [[meanings]]. But concerning [[wisdom]]: While we do not really know, we conjecture that there can never be a [[limit]] to [[intellectual]] [[evolution]] and the [[attainment]] of [[wisdom]]. On a seventh-stage world, [[wisdom]] can exhaust the [[material]] [[potentials]], enter upon [[mota]] [[insight]], and [[eventually]] even [[taste]] of [[absonite]] grandeur.

55:6.10 We often [[ponder]]: If the [[grand universe]] should be settled in [[light and life]], would the [[ascending]] exquisite [[mortals]] still be [[destined]] to the [[Corps of the Finality]]? But we do not know.
