72:12.1 Although the [[society]] and [[government]] of this [[unique]] [[people]] are in many respects superior to those of the [[Urantia]] nations, it should be stated that on the other [[continents]] (there are eleven on this [[planet]]) the [[governments]] are decidedly inferior to the more advanced nations of [[Urantia]].

72:12.2 Just now this superior [[government]] is planning to [[establish]] [[ambassadorial]] [[relations]] with the inferior peoples, and for the first time a great [[religious]] [[leader]] has arisen who [[advocates]] the sending of missionaries to these [[surrounding]] nations. We [[fear]] they are about to make the mistake that so many others have made when they have endeavored to force a superior [[culture]] and [[religion]] upon other [[races]]. What a [[wonderful]] thing could be done on this world if this [[continental]] [[nation]] of advanced [[culture]] would only go out and bring to itself the best of the neighboring peoples and then, after [[educating]] them, send them back as [[emissaries]] of [[culture]] to their benighted brethren! Of course, if a [[Magisterial Son]] should soon come to this advanced [[nation]], great things could quickly happen on this world.

72:12.3 This recital of the affairs of a [[neighboring]] [[planet]] is made by special permission with the [[intent]] of advancing [[civilization]] and augmenting [[governmental]] [[evolution]] on [[Urantia]]. Much more could be [[narrated]] that would no doubt interest and intrigue Urantians, but this disclosure covers the limits of our permissive [[mandate]].

72:12.4 Urantians should, however, take note that their sister [[sphere]] in the [[Satania]] [[family]] has benefited by neither [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_20#20:4._MAGISTERIAL_MISSIONS magisterial] nor [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_20#20:5._BESTOWAL_OF_THE_PARADISE_SONS_OF_GOD bestowal missions] of the [[Paradise Sons]]. Neither are the various peoples of [[Urantia]] set off from each other by such disparity of [[culture]] as separates the [[continental]] nation from its [[planetary]] fellows.

72:12.5 The pouring out of the [[Spirit of Truth]] provides the [[spiritual]] [[foundation]] for the [[realization]] of great achievements in the interests of the [[human]] [[race]] of the bestowal world. [[Urantia]] is therefore far better [[prepared]] for the more [[immediate]] [[realization]] of a [[planetary]] [[government]] with its [[laws]], [[mechanisms]], [[symbols]], [[conventions]], and [[language]]—all of which could [[contribute]] so mightily to the [[establishment]] of world-wide [[peace]] under [[law]] and could lead to the sometime [[dawning]] of a real age of [[spiritual]] striving; and such an age is the [[planetary]] [[threshold]] to the [[utopian]] ages of [[light and life]].

72:12.6 Presented by a [[Melchizedek]] of [[Nebadon]].
