67:2.1 Shortly after [[Satan]]' s [[Visit|inspection]] and when the [[planetary]] [[administration]] was on the eve of the [[realization]] of great things on [[Urantia]], one day, midwinter of the northern continents, [[Caligastia]] held a prolonged conference with his [[associate]], [[Daligastia]], after which the latter called the ten councils of [[Urantia]] in session extraordinary. This assembly was opened with the [[statement]] that Prince [[Caligastia]] was about to proclaim himself [[absolute]] [[sovereign]] of [[Urantia]] and demanded that all [[administrative]] [[groups]] abdicate by resigning all of their [[functions]] and [[powers]] into the hands of [[Daligastia]] as trustee, pending the reorganization of the [[planetary]] [[government]] and the subsequent redistribution of these offices of [[administrative]] [[authority]].

67:2.2 The presentation of this astounding demand was followed by the masterly appeal of [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_67#67:6._VAN.E2.80.94THE_STEADFAST Van], chairman of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:5._ORGANIZATION_OF_THE_ONE_HUNDRED supreme council of co-ordination]. This distinguished [[administrator]] and able [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurist jurist] branded the proposed [[course]] of [[Caligastia]] as an act bordering on [[planetary]] [[rebellion]] and appealed to his conferees to abstain from all [[participation]] until an [[appeal]] could be taken to [[Lucifer]], the [[System Sovereign]] of [[Satania]]; and he won the [[support]] of the entire staff. Accordingly, [[appeal]] was taken to [[Jerusem]], and forthwith came back the orders designating [[Caligastia]] as supreme [[sovereign]] on [[Urantia]] and commanding [[absolute]] and unquestioning [[allegiance]] to his [[mandates]]. And it was in reply to this amazing [[message]] that the [[noble]] [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_67#67:6._VAN.E2.80.94THE_STEADFAST Van] made his memorable address of seven hours' length in which he [[formally]] drew his [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indict indictment] of [[Daligastia]], [[Caligastia]], and [[Lucifer]] as standing in [[contempt]] of the [[sovereignty]] of the [[universe]] of [[Nebadon]]; and he [[appealed]] to the [[Most Highs]] of [[Edentia]] for [[support]] and [[confirmation]].

67:2.3 Meantime [[the system]] [[circuits]] had been severed; [[Urantia]] was [[isolated]]. Every [[group]] of [[celestial]] life on the [[planet]] found itself suddenly and without warning [[isolated]], utterly cut off from all outside [[counsel]] and advice.

==67:4. THE CALIGASTIA ONE HUNDRED AFTER REBELLION==     

67:4.1 When the final roll was called, the corporeal members of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:2._THE_PRINCE.27S_STAFF Prince's staff] were found to have [[aligned]] themselves as follows: [[Van]] and his entire [[court]] of [[co-ordination]] had remained [[loyal]]. Ang and three members of the [[food]] [[council]] had [[survived]]. The board of [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_husbandry animal husbandry] were all swept into [[rebellion]] as were all of the [[animal]]-conquest advisers. Fad and five members of the [[educational]] [[faculty]] were saved. Nod and all of the commission on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industry industry] and trade joined [[Caligastia]]. Hap and the entire [[college]] of [[revealed]] [[religion]] remained [[loyal]] with Van and his noble band. Lut and the whole board of [[health]] were lost. The council of [[art]] and [[science]] remained [[loyal]] in its entirety, but Tut and the commission on [[tribal]] [[government]] all went astray. Thus were forty out of the one hundred saved, later to be [[transferred]] to [[Jerusem]], where they resumed their [[Paradise]] [[journey]].

67:4.2 The sixty members of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:2._THE_PRINCE.27S_STAFF planetary staff] who went into [[rebellion]] chose [[Nod]] as their [[leader]]. They worked wholeheartedly for the [[rebel]] [[Planetary Prince|Prince]] but soon [[discovered]] that they were deprived of the sustenance of [[the system]] life [[circuits]]. They [[awakened]] to the [[fact]] that they had been degraded to the [[status]] of [[mortal]] [[beings]]. They were indeed superhuman but, at the same time, [[material]] and [[mortal]]. In an [[effort]] to increase their numbers, [[Daligastia]] ordered [[immediate]] resort to [[sexual]] [[reproduction]], knowing full well that the [[original]] sixty and their forty-four [[modified]] [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_63#63:5._DISPERSION_OF_THE_ANDONITES Andonite] [[associates]] were [[doomed]] to suffer [[extinction]] by [[death]], sooner or later. After the fall of [[Dalamatia]] the disloyal staff [[migrated]] to the north and the east. Their [[descendants]] were long known as the [[Nodites]], and their dwelling place as "the land of Nod."[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_genesis#Chapter_.4]

67:4.3 The [[presence]] of these extraordinary supermen and superwomen, stranded by [[rebellion]] and presently [[mating]] with the sons and daughters of [[earth]], easily gave [[origin]] to those [[traditional]] [[stories]] of the [[gods]] coming down to [[mate]] with [[mortals]]. And thus [[originated]] the thousand and one [[legends]] of a mythical [[nature]], but founded on the [[facts]] of the postrebellion days, which later found a place in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folk_tales folk tales] and [[traditions]] of the various peoples whose [[ancestors]] had [[participated]] in these [[contacts]] with the [[Nodites]] and their descendants.

67:4.4 The staff [[rebels]], deprived of [[spiritual]] sustenance, [[eventually]] died a [[natural]] [[death]]. And much of the subsequent [[idolatry]] of the [[human]] [[races]] grew out of the [[desire]] to perpetuate the [[memory]] of these highly [[honored]] [[beings]] of the days of [[Caligastia]].

67:5.1 Great [[confusion]] reigned in [[Dalamatia]] and thereabout for almost fifty years after the instigation of [[rebellion]]. The complete and [[radical]] reorganization of the whole world was attempted; [[revolution]] displaced [[evolution]] as the [[policy]] of [[cultural]] advancement and [[racial]] improvement. Among the superior and partially trained [[sojourners]] in and near [[Dalamatia]] there [[appeared]] a sudden [[advancement]] in [[cultural]] [[status]], but when these new and [[radical]] [[methods]] were attempted on the outlying peoples, indescribable [[confusion]] and [[racial]] [[pandemonium]] was the [[immediate]] result. [[Liberty]] was quickly [[translated]] into [[license]] by the half-evolved [[primitive]] men of those days.

67:5.2 Very soon after [[the rebellion]] the entire staff of sedition were [[engaged]] in [[energetic]] [[defense]] of the [[city]] against the hordes of semisavages who besieged its [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_walls walls] as a result of the [[doctrines]] of [[liberty]] which had been prematurely taught them. And years before the [[beautiful]] [[headquarters]] went down beneath the southern waves, the misled and mistaught [[tribes]] of the [[Dalamatia]] hinterland had already swept down in semisavage assault on the splendid [[city]], driving the secession staff and their [[associates]] northward.

67:5.3 The [[Caligastia]] [[scheme]] for the [[immediate]] reconstruction of [[human]] [[society]] in [[accordance]] with his [[ideas]] of [[individual]] [[freedom]] and [[group]] liberties, proved a swift and more or less complete [[failure]]. [[Society]] quickly sank back to its old [[biologic]] [[level]], and the forward [[struggle]] began all over, starting not very far in advance of where it was at the beginning of the [[Caligastia]] [[regime]], this upheaval having left the world in [[confusion]] worse confounded.

67:5.4 One hundred and sixty-two years after [[the rebellion]] a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsunami tidal wave] swept up over [[Dalamatia]], and the [[planetary]] [[headquarters]] sank beneath the [[waters]] of the [[sea]], and this [[land]] did not again [[emerge]] until almost every vestige of the [[noble]] culture of those splendid ages had been [[obliterated]].

67:5.5 When the first capital of the world was engulfed, it harbored only the lowest types of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64#64:6._THE_SIX_SANGIK_RACES_OF_URANTIA Sangik races] of [[Urantia]], renegades who had already [[converted]] [[the Father]]'s [[temple]] into a [[shrine]] dedicated to Nog, the false god of [[light]] and [[fire]].

67:6.2 Before the arrival of the [[Melchizedek]] receivers, [[Van]] placed the [[administration]] of [[human]] affairs in the hands of ten commissions of four each, [[groups]] identical with those of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:5._ORGANIZATION_OF_THE_ONE_HUNDRED Prince's regime].
