36:2.1 The [[Melchizedeks]] have the general oversight of the fourth [[group]] of [[seven]] primary spheres in the [[Salvington]] circuit. These worlds of the Life Carriers are designated as follows:
*1. The Life Carrier [[headquarters]].
*2. The life-[[planning]] sphere.
*3. The life-[[conservation]] sphere.
*4. The sphere of life [[evolution]].
*5. The sphere of life associated with [[mind]].
*6. The sphere of mind and [[spirit]] in living beings.
*7. The sphere of [[unrevealed]] life.
36:2.2 Each of these primary spheres is surrounded by six [[satellites]], on which the special [[phases]] of all the Life Carrier [[activities]] in the [[universe]] are [[centered]].
36:2.3 ''World Number One'', the [[headquarters]] [[sphere]], together with its six tributary [[satellites]], is [[devoted]] to the study of [[universal]] life, life in all of its known [[phases]] of [[manifestation]]. Here is located the [[college]] of life planning, wherein [[function]] [[teachers]] and advisers from [[Uversa]] and [[Havona]], even from [[Paradise]]. And I am permitted to reveal that the seven central emplacements of the [[adjutant mind-spirits]] are situated on this world of the Life Carriers.
36:2.4 The number [http;//www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten ten]—the decimal system—is [[inherent]] in the [[physical]] universe but not in the [[spiritual]]. The [[domain]] of life is characterized by [[three]], [[seven]], and [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/12_(number) twelve] or by multiples and combinations of these basic [[numbers]]. There are [[three]] primal and [[essentially]] [[different]] life [[plans]], after the order of the three [[the Deities|Paradise Sources and Centers]], and in the [[universe]] of [[Nebadon]] these three basic forms of life are [[segregated]] on three [[different]] [[types]] of [[planets]]. There were, originally, twelve distinct and [[divine]] [[concepts]] of transmissible life. This number twelve, with its subdivisions and multiples, runs throughout all basic life [[patterns]] of all [[seven superuniverses]]. There are also [[seven]] architectural types of life [[design]], [[fundamental]] arrangements of the [[reproducing]] configurations of living [[matter]]. The [[Orvonton]] life patterns are configured as twelve [[inheritance]] carriers. The differing orders of will [[creatures]] are configured as 12, 24, 48, 96, 192, 384, and 768. On [[Urantia]] there are [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosomes#Karyotype forty-eight units] of [[pattern]] [[control]]—trait determiners—in the [[sex]] [[cells]] of [[human]] [[reproduction]].
36:2.5 ''The Second World'' is the life-[[designing]] [[sphere]]; here all new modes of life [[organization]] are worked out. While the [[original]] life [[designs]] are provided by the [[Creator Son]], the [[actual]] outworking of these [[plans]] is intrusted to the Life Carriers and their [[associates]]. When the general life plans for a new world have been formulated, they are [[transmitted]] to the [[headquarters]] sphere, where they are minutely scrutinized by the [[supreme]] [[council]] of the senior Life Carriers in [[collaboration]] with a corps of consulting [[Melchizedeks]]. If the [[plans]] are a departure from previously accepted [[formulas]], they must be passed upon, and endorsed by, the [[Creator Son]]. The chief of [[Melchizedeks]] often [[represents]] the Creator Son in these [[deliberations]].
36:2.6 Planetary life, therefore, while similar in some respects, differs in many ways on each [[evolutionary world]]. Even in a [[uniform]] life series in a single [[family]] of worlds, life is not exactly the same on any two [[planets]]; there is always a [[planetary]] [[type]], for the Life Carriers [[work]] constantly in an [[effort]] to improve the [[vital]] [[formulas]] committed to their keeping.
36:2.7 There are over one million [[fundamental]] or [[cosmic]] [[chemical]] [[formulas]] which [[constitute]] the [[parent]] [[patterns]] and the numerous basic [[functional]] variations of life [[manifestations]]. [[Satellite]] number one of the life-planning sphere is the realm of the [[universe]] [[physicists]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochemistry electrochemists] who serve as [[technical]] assistants to the Life Carriers in the [[work]] of capturing, [[organizing]], and [[manipulating]] the [[essential]] [[units]] of [[energy]] which are employed in building up the [[material]] vehicles of life transmission, the so-called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germ_plasm germ plasm].
36:2.8 The planetary life-planning [[laboratories]] are situated on the second [[satellite]] of this world number two. In these [[laboratories]] the Life Carriers and all their [[associates]] [[collaborate]] with the [[Melchizedeks]] in the effort to modify and possibly improve the life designed for implantation on the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_58#PAPER_58:_LIFE_ESTABLISHMENT_ON_URANTIA decimal planets] of [[Nebadon]]. The life now evolving on [[Urantia]] was [[planned]] and partially worked out on this very world, for Urantia is a [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_58#PAPER_58:_LIFE_ESTABLISHMENT_ON_URANTIA decimal planet], a life-[[experiment]] world. On one world in each ten a greater variance in the [[standard]] life [[designs]] is permitted than on the other (nonexperimental) worlds.
36:2.9 ''World Number Three'' is [[devoted]] to the [[conservation]] of life. Here various modes of life protection and [[preservation]] are [[studied]] and [[developed]] by the assistants and custodians of the Life Carrier corps. The life plans for every new world always provide for the early [[establishment]] of the life-conservation commission, consisting of custodian specialists in the expert [[manipulation]] of the basic life [[patterns]]. On [[Urantia]] there were twenty-four such custodian commissioners, two for each [[fundamental]] or [[parent]] [[pattern]] of the architectural [[organization]] of the life [[material]]. On [[planets]] such as yours the highest [[form]] of life is [[reproduced]] by a life-carrying bundle which [[possesses]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosomes#Human_chromosomes twenty-four pattern units]. (And since the [[intellectual]] life [[grows]] out of, and upon the [[foundation]] of, the [[physical]], there come into [[existence]] the four and twenty basic orders of [[Mind|psychic]] [[organization]].)
36:2.10 ''Sphere Number Four'' and its tributary [[satellites]] are [[devoted]] to the [[study]] of the [[evolution]] of [[creature]] life in general and to the evolutionary antecedents of any one life level in particular. The [[original]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germ_plasm life plasm] of an [[evolutionary world]] must contain the full [[potential]] for all [[future]] [[developmental]] variations and for all subsequent evolutionary [[changes]] and modifications. The provision for such far-reaching [[projects]] of life [[metamorphosis]] may require the [[appearance]] of many [[apparently]] useless [[forms]] of [[animal]] and [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetable vegetable] life. Such by-products of [[planetary]] [[evolution]], foreseen or unforeseen, appear upon the [[stage]] of [[action]] only to disappear, but in and through all this long [[process]] there runs the thread of the [[wise]] and [[intelligent]] [[formulations]] of the [[original]] [[designers]] of the [[planetary]] life [[plan]] and [[species]] scheme. The manifold by-products of [[biologic]] [[evolution]] are all [[essential]] to the final and full [[function]] of the higher [[intelligent]] forms of life, notwithstanding that great outward [[Confusion|disharmony]] may prevail from time to time in the long upward [[struggle]] of the higher [[creatures]] to effect the mastery of the lower forms of life, many of which are sometimes so [[antagonistic]] to the [[peace]] and comfort of the evolving will [[creatures]].
36:2.11 ''Number Five World'' is concerned wholly with life [[associated]] with [[mind]]. Each of its [[satellites]] is [[devoted]] to the [[study]] of a single [[phase]] of [[creature]] [[mind]] correlated with creature life. Mind such as man [[comprehends]] is an [[endowment]] of the [[seven adjutant mind-spirits]] superimposed on the nonteachable or [[mechanical]] levels of mind by the [[agencies]] of the [[Infinite Spirit]]. The life [[patterns]] are variously [[responsive]] to these adjutants and to the [[different]] [[spirit]] ministries operating throughout the [[Grand Universe|universes]] of [[time and space]]. The [[capacity]] of [[material]] [[creatures]] to [[effect]] [[spirit]] [[response]] is entirely dependent on the [[associated]] [[mind]] [[endowment]], which, in turn, has directionized the [[course]] of the [[biologic]] [[evolution]] of these same [[mortal]] [[creatures]].
36:2.12 ''World Number Six'' is [[dedicated]] to the correlation of [[mind]] with [[spirit]] as they are [[associated]] with living [[forms]] and [[organisms]]. This world and its six tributaries [[embrace]] the schools of [[creature]] [[co-ordination]], wherein [[teachers]] from both the [[central universe]] and the [[superuniverse]] [[collaborate]] with the [[Nebadon]] instructors in presenting the highest levels of [[creature]] [[attainment]] in [[time and space]].
36:2.13 ''The Seventh Sphere'' of the Life Carriers is [[dedicated]] to the unrevealed domains of [[evolutionary]] [[creature]] life as it is related to the [[cosmic]] [[philosophy]] of the expanding factualization of the [[Supreme Being]].
