52:1.1 From the [[time]] of [[man]]'s [[emergence]] from the [[animal]] [[level]]—when he can [[choose]] to [[worship]] the [[Creator]]—to the arrival of the [[Planetary Prince]], [[mortal]] [[Free will|will]] [[creatures]] are called [[primitive]] men. There are [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64 six basic types] or [[races]] of [[primitive]] men, and these early peoples [[successively]] appear in the order of the [[spectrum]] [[colors]], beginning with the [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red red]. The length of time consumed in this early life [[evolution]] varies greatly on the [[different]] worlds, ranging from one hundred and fifty thousand years to over one million years of [[Urantia]] time.

52:1.2 The [[evolutionary]] [[races]] of [[color]]—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and indigo—begin to appear about the time that primitive man is developing a simple language and is beginning to exercise the creative imagination. By this time man is well accustomed to standing erect.

52:1.3 [[Primitive]] men are mighty [[hunters]] and fierce [[Warrior|fighters]].

52:1.4 In the [[light]] of subsequent [[civilization]], this era of [[primitive]] man is a long, dark, and [[Violent|bloody]] chapter. The [[ethics]] of the jungle and the [[morals]] of the primeval forests are not in keeping with the [[standards]] of later [[dispensations]] of [[revealed]] [[religion]] and higher [[spiritual]] [[development]]. On [[normal]] and nonexperimental worlds this [[epoch]] is very [[different]] from the prolonged and extraordinarily [[Barbarism|brutal]] [[struggles]] which characterized this [[age]] on [[Urantia]]. When you have [[emerged]] from your first world [[experience]], you will begin to see why this long and [[painful]] [[struggle]] on the [[evolutionary worlds]] occurs, and as you go forward in the [[Paradise]] path, you will increasingly [[understand]] the [[wisdom]] of these [[apparently]] strange [[doings]]. But notwithstanding all the [[vicissitudes]] of the early [[ages]] of [[human]] [[emergence]], the [[performances]] of [[primitive]] man [[represent]] a splendid, even a [[heroic]], chapter in the annals of an [[evolutionary world]] of [[time and space]].

52:1.5 Early [[evolutionary]] man is not a [[colorful]] [[creature]]. In general, these [[primitive]] [[mortals]] are [[cave]] dwellers or cliff residents. They also build crude huts in the large trees. Before they acquire a high order of [[intelligence]], the [[planets]] are sometimes overrun with the larger [[types]] of [[animals]]. But early in this [[era]] [[mortals]] learn to kindle and [[maintain]] fire, and with the increase of [[inventive]] [[imagination]] and the improvement in [[tools]], evolving man soon vanquishes the larger and more unwieldy [[animals]]. The [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64 early races] also make extensive use of the larger flying animals. These enormous [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birds birds] are able to carry one or two [[average]]-sized men for a nonstop flight of over five hundred miles. On some [[planets]] these birds are of great [[service]] since they [[possess]] a high order of [[intelligence]], often being able to speak many [[words]] of the [[languages]] of the realm. These birds are most [[intelligent]], very [[obedient]], and unbelievably [[affectionate]]. Such passenger birds have been long extinct on [[Urantia]], but your early [[ancestors]] enjoyed their [[services]].

52:1.6 Man's acquirement of [[ethical]] [[judgment]], [[moral]] [[Free will|will]], is usually [[coincident]] with the [[appearance]] of early [[language]]. Upon [[attaining]] the [[human]] [[level]], after this [[emergence]] of [[mortal]] [[Free will|will]], these [[beings]] become [[receptive]] to the temporary indwelling of the [[divine]] [[Adjusters]], and upon [[death]] many are duly [[elected]] as [[survivors]] and sealed[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Revelation#Chapter_7] by the [[archangels]] for subsequent [[resurrection]] and [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:9._SPIRIT-FUSED_MORTALS Spirit fusion]. The [[archangels]] always accompany the [[Planetary Princes]], and a [[dispensational]] [[adjudication]] of the realm is [[simultaneous]] with the prince's arrival.

52:1.7 All [[mortals]] who are indwelt by [[Thought Adjusters]] are [[potential]] [[worshipers]]; they have been "lighted by the true light,"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_John#Chapter] and they [[possess]] [[capacity]] for seeking [[reciprocal]] [[contact]] with [[divinity]]. Nevertheless, the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_86 early] or [[biologic]] [[religion]] of [[primitive]] man is largely a [[persistence]] of [[animal]] [[fear]] coupled with [[ignorant]] [[awe]] and [[tribal]] [[superstition]]. The [[survival]] of [[superstition]] in the [[Urantia]] [[races]] is hardly complimentary to your [[evolutionary]] [[development]] nor compatible with your otherwise splendid [[achievements]] in [[material]] [[progress]]. But this early [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_87 fear religion] serves a very [[valuable]] [[purpose]] in subduing the fiery tempers of these [[primitive]] [[creatures]]. It is the forerunner of [[civilization]] and the [[soil]] for the subsequent planting of the [[seeds]] of [[revealed]] [[religion]] by the [[Planetary Prince]] and his ministers.

52:1.8 Within one hundred thousand years from the time man acquires erect [[posture]], the [[Planetary Prince]] usually arrives, having been dispatched by the [[System Sovereign]] upon the report of the [[Life Carriers]] that will is [[functioning]], even though [[comparatively]] few [[individuals]] have thus [[developed]].

52:2.2 The [[average]] length of this [[dispensation]] is around five hundred thousand years, some longer, some shorter. During this [[era]] the [[planet]] is [[established]] in the [[circuits]] of [[the system]], and a full quota of [[seraphic]] and other [[celestial]] helpers is assigned to its [[administration]]. The [[Thought Adjusters]] come in increasing [[numbers]], and the [[seraphic guardians]] amplify their [[regime]] of [[mortal]] supervision.

52:4.3 When the Paradise Avonals come to the mortal spheres on judicial actions, solely as dispensation adjudicators, they are never incarnated. But when they come on magisterial missions, at least the initial one, they are always incarnated, though they do not experience birth, neither do they die the death of the realm. They may live on for generations in those cases where they remain as rulers on certain planets. When their missions are concluded, they yield up their planetary lives and return to their former status of divine sonship.

52:4.5 After the initial visitation of a Magisterial Son the races soon effect their economic liberation. The daily work required to sustain one's independence would be represented by two and one-half hours of your time. It is perfectly safe to liberate such ethical and intelligent mortals. Such refined peoples well know how to utilize leisure for self-improvement and planetary advancement. This age witnesses the further purification of the racial stocks by the restriction of reproduction among the less fit and poorly endowed individuals.

By self-government we refer to the highest type of representative government.

52:4.7 During this epoch the majority of the world mortals are Adjuster indwelt. But even yet the bestowal of divine Monitors is not always universal.

52:4.8 During the closing ages of this dispensation, society begins to return to more simplified forms of living. The complex nature of an advancing civilization is running its course, and mortals are learning to live more naturally and effectively. And this trend increases with each succeeding epoch. This is the age of the flowering of art, music, and higher learning. The physical sciences have already reached their height of development. The termination of this age, on an ideal world, witnesses the fullness of a great religious awakening, a world-wide spiritual enlightenment. And this extensive arousal of the spiritual natures of the races is the signal for the arrival of the bestowal Son and for the inauguration of the fifth mortal epoch.

52:4.9 On many worlds it develops that the planet is not made ready for a bestowal Son by one magisterial mission; in that event there will be a second, even a succession of Magisterial Sons, each of whom will advance the races from one dispensation to another until the planet is made ready for the gift of the bestowal Son. On the second and subsequent missions the Magisterial Sons may or may not be incarnated. But no matter how many Magisterial Sons may appear—and they may also come as such after the bestowal Son—the advent of each one marks the end of one dispensation and the beginning of another.

52:5.1 When a certain standard of intellectual and spiritual development is attained on an inhabited world, a Paradise bestowal Son always arrives. On normal worlds he does not appear in the flesh until the races have ascended to the highest levels of intellectual development and ethical attainment. But on Urantia the bestowal Son, even your own Creator Son, appeared at the close of the Adamic dispensation, but that is not the usual order of events on the worlds of space.

52:5.2 When the worlds have become ripe for spiritualization, the bestowal Son arrives. These Sons always belong to the Magisterial or Avonal order except in that case, once in each local universe, when the Creator Son prepares for his terminal bestowal on some evolutionary world, as occurred when Michael of Nebadon appeared on Urantia to bestow himself upon your mortal races. Only one world in near ten million can enjoy such a gift; all other worlds are spiritually advanced by the bestowal of a Paradise Son of the Avonal order.

52:5.3 The bestowal Son arrives on a world of high educational culture and encounters a race spiritually trained and prepared to assimilate advanced teachings and to appreciate the bestowal mission. This is an age characterized by the world-wide pursuit of moral culture and spiritual truth. The mortal passion of this dispensation is the penetration of cosmic reality and communion with spiritual reality. The revelations of truth are extended to include the superuniverse. Entirely new systems of education and government grow up to supplant the crude regimes of former times. The joy of living takes on new color, and the reactions of life are exalted to heavenly heights of tone and timbre.

52:5.4 The bestowal Son lives and dies for the spiritual uplift of the mortal races of a world. He establishes the " new and living way "; his life is an incarnation of Paradise truth in mortal flesh, that very truth—even the Spirit of Truth—in the knowledge of which men shall be free.

52:5.5 On Urantia the establishment of this " new and living way " was a matter of fact as well as of truth. The isolation of Urantia in the Lucifer rebellion had suspended the procedure whereby mortals can pass, upon death, directly to the shores of the mansion worlds. Before the days of Christ Michael on Urantia all souls slept on until the dispensational or special millennial resurrections. Even Moses was not permitted to go over to the other side until the occasion of a special resurrection, the fallen Planetary Prince, Caligastia, contesting such a deliverance. But ever since the day of Pentecost, Urantia mortals again may proceed directly to the morontia spheres.

52:5.6 Upon the resurrection of a bestowal Son, on the third day after yielding up his incarnated life, he ascends to the right hand of the Universal Father, receives the assurance of the acceptance of the bestowal mission, and returns to the Creator Son at the headquarters of the local universe. Thereupon the bestowal Avonal and the Creator Michael send their joint spirit, the Spirit of Truth, into the bestowal world. This is the occasion when the " spirit of the triumphant Son is poured out upon all flesh.

The [[Universe Mother Spirit]] also [[participates]] in this [[bestowal]] of the [[Spirit of Truth]], and concomitant therewith there issues the [[bestowal]] [[edict]] of the [[Thought Adjusters]]. Thereafter all [[normal]]-[[minded]] [[Free will|will]] [[creatures]] of that world will receive [[Adjusters]] as soon as they [[attain]] the age of [[moral]] [[responsibility]], of [[spiritual]] [[choice]].

52:5.7 If such a bestowal Avonal should return to a world after the bestowal mission, he would not incarnate but would come " in glory with the seraphic hosts. "

52:5.8 The postbestowal Son age may extend from ten thousand to a hundred thousand years. There is no arbitrary time allotted to any of these dispensational eras. This is a time of great ethical and spiritual progress. Under the spiritual influence of these ages, human character undergoes tremendous transformations and experiences phenomenal development. It becomes possible to put the golden rule into practical operation. The teachings of Jesus are really applicable to a mortal world which has had the preliminary training of the prebestowal Sons with their dispensations of character ennoblement and culture augmentation.

52:5.9 During this era the problems of disease and delinquency are virtually solved. Degeneracy has already been largely eliminated by selective reproduction. Disease has been practically mastered through the high resistant qualities of the Adamic strains and by the intelligent and world-wide application of the discoveries of the physical sciences of preceding ages. The average length of life, during this period, climbs well above the equivalent of three hundred years of Urantia time.

52:5.10 Throughout this epoch there is a gradual lessening of governmental supervision. True self-government is beginning to function; fewer and fewer restrictive laws are necessary. The military branches of national resistance are passing away; the era of international harmony is really arriving. There are many nations, mostly determined by land distribution, but only one race, one language, and one religion. Mortal affairs are almost, but not quite, utopian. This truly is a great and glorious age!

52:6.1 The bestowal Son is the Prince of Peace. He arrives with the message, " Peace on earth and good will among men. " On normal worlds this is a dispensation of world-wide peace; the nations no more learn war. But such salutary influences did not attend the coming of your bestowal Son, Christ Michael. Urantia is not proceeding in the normal order. Your world is out of step in the planetary procession. Your Master, when on earth, warned his disciples that his advent would not bring the usual reign of peace on Urantia. He distinctly told them that there would be " wars and rumors of wars, " and that nation would rise against nation. At another time he said, " Think not that I have come to bring peace upon earth. "

52:6.2 Even on normal evolutionary worlds the realization of the world-wide brotherhood of man is not an easy accomplishment. On a confused and disordered planet like Urantia such an achievement requires a much longer time and necessitates far greater effort. Unaided social evolution can hardly achieve such happy results on a spiritually isolated sphere. Religious revelation is essential to the realization of brotherhood on Urantia. While Jesus has shown the way to the immediate attainment of spiritual brotherhood, the realization of social brotherhood on your world depends much on the achievement of the following personal transformations and planetary adjustments:

*1. 52:6.3 Social fraternity. Multiplication of international and interracial social contacts and fraternal associations through travel, commerce, and competitive play. Development of a common language and the multiplication of multilinguists. The racial and national interchange of students, teachers, industrialists, and religious philosophers.

[[Development]] of a common [[language]] and the multiplication of multilinguists. The [[racial]] and [[national]] interchange of [[students]], [[teachers]], industrialists, and religious [[philosophers]].

*2. 52:6.4 Intellectual cross-fertilization. Brotherhood is impossible on a world whose inhabitants are so primitive that they fail to recognize the folly of unmitigated selfishness. There must occur an exchange of national and racial literature. Each race must become familiar with the thought of all races; each nation must know the feelings of all nations. Ignorance breeds suspicion, and suspicion is incompatible with the essential attitude of sympathy and love.

*3. 52:6.5 Ethical awakening. Only ethical consciousness can unmask the immorality of human intolerance and the sinfulness of fratricidal strife. Only a moral conscience can condemn the evils of national envy and racial jealousy. Only moral beings will ever seek for that spiritual insight which is essential to living the golden rule.

*4. 52:6.6 Political wisdom. Emotional maturity is essential to self-control. Only emotional maturity will insure the substitution of international techniques of civilized adjudication for the barbarous arbitrament of war. Wise statesmen will sometime work for the welfare of humanity even while they strive to promote the interest of their national or racial groups.

*5. 52:6.7 Spiritual insight. The brotherhood of man is, after all, predicated on the recognition of the fatherhood of God. The quickest way to realize the brotherhood of man on Urantia is to effect the spiritual transformation of present-day humanity. The only technique for accelerating the natural trend of social evolution is that of applying spiritual pressure from above, thus augmenting moral insight while enhancing the soul capacity of every mortal to understand and love every other mortal. Mutual understanding and fraternal love are transcendent civilizers and mighty factors in the world-wide realization of the brotherhood of man.

These worlds are in the spiritual circuits of their realm, and they enjoy all the advantages of the universe broadcasts and the reflectivity services of the superuniverse.

52:7.1 The Sons of the next order to arrive on the average evolutionary world are the Trinity Teacher Sons, the divine Sons of the Paradise Trinity.

That promise he will certainly fulfill, but no one knows whether his second coming will precede or follow the appearances of Magisterial or Teacher Sons on Urantia.

52:7.2 The Teacher Sons come in groups to the spiritualizing worlds. A planetary Teacher Son is assisted and supported by seventy primary Sons, twelve secondary Sons, and three of the highest and most experienced of the supreme order of Daynals. This corps will remain for some time on the world, long enough to effect the transition from the evolutionary ages to the era of light and life—not less than one thousand years of planetary time and often considerably longer. This mission is a Trinity contribution to the antecedent efforts of all the divine personalities who have ministered to an inhabited world.

52:7.3 The revelation of truth is now extended to the central universe and to Paradise. The races are becoming highly spiritual. A great people has evolved and a great age is approaching. The educational, economic, and administrative systems of the planet are undergoing radical transformations. New values and relationships are being established. The kingdom of heaven is appearing on earth, and the glory of God is being shed abroad in the world.

52:7.4 This is the dispensation when many mortals are translated from among the living. As the era of Trinity Teacher Sons progresses, the spiritual allegiance of the mortals of time becomes more and more universal. Natural death becomes less frequent as the Adjusters increasingly fuse with their subjects during the lifetime in the flesh. The planet eventually is classed as of the primary modified order of mortal ascension.

52:7.5 Life during this era is pleasant and profitable. Degeneracy and the antisocial end products of the long evolutionary struggle have been virtually obliterated. The length of life approaches five hundred Urantia years, and the reproductive rate of racial increase is intelligently controlled. An entirely new order of society has arrived. There are still great differences among mortals, but the state of society more nearly approaches the ideals of social brotherhood and spiritual equality. Representative government is vanishing, and the world is passing under the rule of individual self-control. The function of government is chiefly directed to collective tasks of social administration and economic co-ordination. The golden age is coming on apace; the temporal goal of the long and intense planetary evolutionary struggle is in sight. The reward of the ages is soon to be realized; the wisdom of the Gods is about to be manifested.

52:7.6 The physical administration of a world during this age requires about one hour each day on the part of every adult individual; that is, the equivalent of one Urantia hour. The planet is in close touch with universe affairs, and its people scan the latest broadcasts with the same keen interest you now manifest in the latest editions of your daily newspapers. These races are occupied with a thousand things of interest unknown on your world.

52:7.7 Increasingly, true planetary allegiance to the Supreme Being grows. Generation after generation, more and more of the race step into line with those who practice justice and live mercy. Slowly but surely the world is being won to the joyous service of the Sons of God. The physical difficulties and material problems have been largely solved; the planet is ripening for advanced life and a more settled existence.

They do not leave a world until they observe that the evolutionary plan, as it concerns that planet, is working smoothly. A Magisterial Son of judgment usually accompanies the Teacher Sons on their successive missions, while another such Son functions at the time of their departure, and these judicial actions continue from age to age throughout the duration of the mortal regime of time and space.
