66:6.1 The [[degree]] of a world's [[culture]] is [[measured]] by the [[social]] [[heritage]] of its [[native]] [[beings]], and the [[rate]] of cultural expansion is wholly [[determined]] by the [[ability]] of its [[inhabitants]] to [[comprehend]] new and advanced [[ideas]].

66:6.2 [[Slavery]] to [[tradition]] produces [[stability]] and [[co-operation]] by sentimentally linking the [[past]] with the [[present]], but it likewise stifles [[initiative]] and enslaves the [[creative]] [[powers]] of the [[personality]]. The whole world was caught in the stalemate of [[tradition]]-bound [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mores mores] when the [[Caligastia]] one hundred arrived and began the proclamation of the new [[gospel]] of [[individual]] [[initiative]] within the [[social]] [[groups]] of that day. But this [[beneficent]] rule was so soon interrupted that the [[races]] never have been wholly [[liberated]] from the [[slavery]] of [[custom]]; [[fashion]] still unduly [[dominates]] [[Urantia]].

66:6.3 The [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:2._THE_PRINCE.27S_STAFF Caligastia one hundred]—[[graduates]] of the [[Satania]] [[mansion worlds]]—well knew [[the arts]] and [[culture]] of [[Jerusem]], but such [[knowledge]] is nearly valueless on a barbaric [[planet]] populated by [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_52#52:1._PRIMITIVE_MAN primitive humans]. These [[wise]] [[beings]] knew better than to undertake the sudden [[transformation]], or the en masse uplifting, of the [[primitive]] races of that day.

66:6.4 Each of the ten planetary commissions set about slowly and [[naturally]] to advance the interests intrusted to them. Their [[plan]] consisted in [[attracting]] the best [[minds]] of the [[surrounding]] [[tribes]] and, after [[training]] them, sending them back to their people as emissaries of [[social]] uplift.

66:6.5 Foreign emissaries were never sent to a [[race]] except upon the specific request of that people. Those who [[labored]] for the uplift and [[advancement]] of a given [[tribe]] or [[race]] were always [[natives]] of that tribe or race. The one hundred would not attempt to impose the [[habits]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mores mores] of even a superior race upon another [[tribe]]. Always they [[patiently]] worked to uplift and advance the time-tried mores of each race. The [[simple]] folk of [[Urantia]] brought their [[social]] [[customs]] to ''Dalamatia'', not to exchange them for new and better [[practices]], but to have them uplifted by [[contact]] with a higher [[culture]] and by [[association]] with superior [[minds]]. The [[process]] was slow but very [[effect]]ual.

66:6.6 The ''Dalamatia'' [[teachers]] sought to add [[conscious]] [[social]] selection to the [[purely]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_selection natural selection] of [[biologic]] [[evolution]]. They did not derange [[human]] [[society]], but they did markedly [[accelerate]] its [[normal]] and [[natural]] [[evolution]]. Their [[motive]] was [[progression]] by [[evolution]] and not [[revolution]] by [[revelation]]. The human race had spent ages in acquiring the little [[religion]] and [[morals]] it had, and these supermen knew better than to rob [[mankind]] of these few advances by the [[confusion]] and dismay which always result when [[enlightened]] and superior [[beings]] undertake to uplift the backward races by overteaching and overenlightenment.

66:6.7 When [[Christian]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missionaries missionaries] go into the [[heart]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Africa Africa], where sons and daughters are supposed to remain under the [[control]] and direction of their [[parents]] throughout the lifetime of the parents, they only bring about [[confusion]] and the breakdown of all [[authority]] when they seek, in a single [[generation]], to supplant this [[practice]] by teaching that these [[children]] should be [[free]] from all parental restraint after they have [[attained]] the age of twenty-one.
