53:1.1 [[Lucifer]] was not an [[ascendant]] ''being''; he was a [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_35 created Son] of the [[local universe]], and of him it was said: "You were perfect in all your ways from the day you were created till unrighteousness was found in you."[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Ezekiel#Chapter_28] Many times had he been in [[counsel]] with the [[Most Highs]] of [[Edentia]]. And [[Lucifer]] reigned "upon the holy mountain of God,"[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Ezekiel#Chapter_28] the [[administrative]] mount of [[Jerusem]], for he was the [[chief executive]] of a great [[the System|system]] of 607 [[inhabited worlds]].

53:1.2 [[Lucifer]] was a [[magnificent]] [[being]], a [[brilliant]] [[personality]]; he stood next to the [[Most High Fathers]] of the [[constellations]] in the direct line of [[universe]] [[authority]]. Notwithstanding [[Lucifer]]'s [[transgression]], subordinate [[intelligences]] refrained from showing him disrespect and disdain prior to [[Michael]]'s [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_120 bestowal on Urantia].

53:1.3 [[Lucifer]] is now the fallen and deposed [[System Sovereign|Sovereign]] of [[Satania]]. [[Self]]-[[contemplation]] is most disastrous, even to the exalted [[personalities]] of the [[celestial]] world. Of [[Lucifer]] it was said: "Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom because of your brightness."[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Ezekiel#Chapter_28] Your olden [[prophet]] saw his sad estate when he wrote: "How are you fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How are you cast down, you who dared to confuse the worlds!"[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Isaiah#Chapter_.14]

53:1.4 Very little was heard of [[Lucifer]] on [[Urantia]] owing to the [[fact]] that he assigned his first lieutenant, [[Satan]], to [[advocate]] his [[cause]] on your [[planet]]. [[Satan]] was a member of the same primary group of [[Lanonandeks]] but had never functioned as a [[System Sovereign]]; he entered fully into the [[Lucifer Rebellion|Lucifer insurrection]]. The "devil"[http://books.google.com/books?id=-AZWyXGqH-0C&dq=history+of+the+devil,+cornell+university+press&source=gbs_navlinks_s] is none other than [[Caligastia]], the deposed [[Planetary Prince]] of [[Urantia]] and a Son of the secondary order of [[Lanonandeks]].

53:3.5 He contended that the [[executioners]] of the [[Ancients of Days]] could be debarred from [[functioning]] in the [[local systems]] if the [[native]] [[beings]] would only [[assert]] their [[independence]]. He [[maintained]] that [[immortality]] was [[inherent]] in [[the system]] [[personalities]], that [[resurrection]] was [[natural]] and [[automatic]], and that all [[beings]] would live [[eternally]] except for the [[arbitrary]] and unjust [[acts]] of the [[executioners]] of the [[Ancients of Days]].

[[Lucifer]] [[maintained]] that far too much [[time]] and [[energy]] were expended upon the [[scheme]] of so thoroughly [[training]] [[ascending mortals]] in the [[principles]] of [[universe]] [[administration]], principles which he alleged were unethical and unsound. He protested against the agelong [[program]] for [[preparing]] the [[mortals]] of [[space]] for some [[unknown]] [[destiny]] and pointed to the [[presence]] of the [[finaliter]] corps on [[Jerusem]] as [[proof]] that these [[mortals]] had spent ages of [[preparation]] for some [[destiny]] of [[pure]] [[fiction]]. With [[derision]] he pointed out that the [[finaliters]] had encountered a [[destiny]] no more [[glorious]] than to be returned to [[humble]] [[spheres]] similar to those of their [[origin]]. He intimated that they had been [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/debauch debauched] by overmuch [[discipline]] and prolonged [[training]], and that they were in [[reality]] [[traitors]] to their [[mortal]] fellows since they were now [[co-operating]] with the [[scheme]] of [[enslaving]] all [[creation]] to the [[fictions]] of a [[mythical]] [[eternal]] [[destiny]] for [[ascending mortals]]. He [[advocated]] that [[ascenders]] should [[enjoy]] the [[liberty]] of [[individual]] [[self-determination]]. He [[challenged]] and condemned the entire [[plan]] of [[mortal]] [[ascension]] as sponsored by the [[Paradise Sons]] of [[God]] and [[supported]] by the [[Infinite Spirit]].
