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.

52:6.1 The [[bestowal Son]] is the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Isaiah#Chapter_.9 Prince of Peace]. He arrives with the [[message]], "Peace on earth and good will among men."[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Luke#Chapter_2] 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]].

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]]:

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]].

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]]. Again we find [[Urantia]] out of step with its [[sister]] [[spheres]] in that your [[Jesus]] has [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_176#176:4._THE_RETURN_OF_MICHAEL promised to return]. 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 [[Millennium|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 [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Immortality 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]].

52:7.5 Life during this [[era]] is [[pleasant]] and profitable. Degeneracy and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-social_behaviour 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 Realization|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 [[Universe Broadcasts|broadcasts]] with the same keen interest you now [[manifest]] in the latest editions of your daily newspapers.

52:7.9 Each recurring mission of the [[Trinity Teacher Sons]] successively exalts such a [[supernal]] world to ever-[[ascending]] heights of [[wisdom]], [[spirituality]], and [[cosmic]] [[illumination]]. But the [[noble]] [[natives]] of such a [[sphere]] are still [[finite]] and [[mortal]]. Nothing is [[perfect]]; nevertheless, there is [[evolving]] a [[quality]] of near [[perfection]] in the operation of an imperfect world and in the lives of its [[human]] [[inhabitants]].
