| − | 119:5.1 A little over [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_59#PAPER_59:_THE_MARINE-LIFE_ERA_ON_URANTIA three hundred million years ago], as time is reckoned on [[Urantia]], we [[witnessed]] another of those [[transfers]] of [[universe]] [[authority]] to [[Immanuel]] and [[observed]] the [[preparations]] of [[Michael]] for departure. This occasion was [[different]] from the previous ones in that he [[announced]] that his destination was [[Uversa]], [[headquarters]] of the [[superuniverse]] of [[Orvonton]]. In due time our [[Creator Son|Sovereign]] departed, but the [[broadcasts]] of the [[superuniverse]] never made mention of [[Michael]]'s arrival at the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_15#15:10._RULERS_OF_THE_SUPERUNIVERSES courts] of the [[Ancients of Days]]. Shortly after his departure from [[Salvington]] there did appear in the [[Uversa]] [[broadcasts]] this significant [[statement]]: "There arrived today an unannounced and unnumbered [[ascendant]] [[pilgrim]] of [[mortal]] [[origin]] from the [[universe]] of [[Nebadon]], certified by [[Immanuel]] of [[Salvington]] and accompanied by [[Gabriel]] of [[Nebadon]]. This [[Anonymous|unidentified]] [[being]] presents the [[status]] of a true [[spirit]] and has been [[received]] into our [[fellowship]]."

And this [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:5._MORTALS_OF_TIME_AND_SPACE ascending mortal], at least a superb [[personality]] in the exact likeness of the [[spirit]] [[stage]] of the [[ascending]] [[mortals]], lived and [[functioned]] on [[Uversa]] for a period of eleven years of [[Orvonton]] standard time. This [[being]] received the assignments and [[performed]] the [[duties]] of a [[spirit]] [[mortal]] in common with his fellows from the various [[local universes]] of [[Orvonton]]. In "all points he was tested and tried, even as his fellows,"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Letter_to_the_Hebrews#The_Letter_to_the_Hebrews.2C_IV] and on all occasions he [[proved]] [[worthy]] of the [[confidence]] and [[trust]] of his superiors, while he unfailingly commanded the [[respect]] and [[loyal]] [[admiration]] of his fellow spirits.

| − | 119:5.3 On [[Salvington]] we [[followed]] the [[career]] of this [[spirit]] [[pilgrim]] with consummate interest, knowing full well, by the [[presence]] of [[Gabriel]], that this unassuming and unnumbered [[pilgrim]] [[spirit]] was none other than the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_21#21:4._THE_MICHAEL_BESTOWALS bestowed ruler] of our [[local universe]]. This first [[appearance]] of [[Michael]] [[incarnated]] in the role of one [[stage]] of [[mortal]] [[evolution]] was an [[event]] which thrilled and enthralled all [[Nebadon]]. We had heard of such [[things]] but now we beheld them. He [[appeared]] on [[Uversa]] as a fully [[developed]] and perfectly [[trained]] [[spirit]] [[mortal]] and, as such, continued his [[career]] up to the occasion of the advancement of a [[group]] of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:5._MORTALS_OF_TIME_AND_SPACE ascending mortals] to [[Havona]]; whereupon he held converse with the [[Ancients of Days]] and [[immediately]], in the company of [[Gabriel]], took sudden and unceremonious leave of [[Uversa]], appearing shortly thereafter in his accustomed place on [[Salvington]].

| − | 119:5.4 Not until the completion of this [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_21#21:4._THE_MICHAEL_BESTOWALS bestowal] did it finally dawn upon us that [[Michael]] was probably going to [[incarnate]] in the likeness of his various orders of [[universe]] [[personalities]], from the highest [[Melchizedeks]] right on down to the [[mortals]] of [[flesh]] and blood on the [[evolutionary worlds]] of [[time and space]]. About this time the [[Melchizedek]] [[colleges]] began to teach the [[probability]] of [[Michael]]'s sometime [[incarnating]] as a [[mortal]] of the [[flesh]], and there occurred much [[speculation]] as to the possible [[technique]] of such an inexplicable [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_21#21:4._THE_MICHAEL_BESTOWALS bestowal]. That [[Michael]] had in [[person]] [[performed]] in the role of an [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:5._MORTALS_OF_TIME_AND_SPACE ascending mortal] lent new and added interest to the whole [[scheme]] of [[creature]] [[progression]] all the way up through both the [[local universe]] and the [[superuniverse]]. | |

Even [[Gabriel]] [[confesses]] that he does not [[comprehend]] the [[method]] whereby this [[Paradise Son]] and [[universe]] [[Creator]] could, at [[Free will|will]], [[assume]] the [[personality]] and live the life of one of his own subordinate [[creatures]].
