75:2.1 [[Caligastia]] paid frequent visits to [[the Garden]] and held many conferences with [[Adam and Eve]], but they were adamant to all his suggestions of [[compromise]] and short-cut [[adventures]]. They had before them enough of the results of [[rebellion]] to produce [[effective]] [[immunity]] against all such insinuating proposals. Even the young [[offspring]] of [[Adam]] were uninfluenced by the overtures of [[Daligastia]]. And of course neither [[Caligastia]] nor his [[associate]] had [[power]] to [[influence]] any [[individual]] against his will, much less to [[persuade]] the children of [[Adam]] to do wrong.

75:2.2 It must be [[remembered]] that [[Caligastia]] was still the [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/titular titular] [[Planetary Prince]] of [[Urantia]], a misguided but nevertheless high Son of the [[local universe]]. He was not finally deposed until the times of [[Christ]] [[Michael]] on [[Urantia]].

==75:3. THE TEMPTATION OF EVE==

75:3.1 [[Adam]] had just finished his first one hundred years on [[earth]] when ''Serapatatia'', upon the [[death]] of his [[father]], came to the [[leadership]] of the western or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syria Syrian] [[confederation]] of the [[Nodite]] tribes. Serapatatia was a brown-tinted man, a brilliant descendant of the onetime chief of the [[Dalamatia]] commission on [[health]] [[mated]] with one of the master [[female]] [[minds]] of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64#64:6._THE_SIX_SANGIK_RACES_OF_URANTIA blue race] of those distant days. All down through the ages this line had held [[authority]] and wielded a great [[influence]] among the western [[Nodite]] tribes.

All down through the ages this line had held [[authority]] and wielded a great [[influence]] among the western [[Nodite]] tribes.

75:3.2 Serapatatia had made several visits to [[the Garden]] and had become deeply impressed with the [[righteousness]] of [[Adam]]'s [[cause]]. And shortly after assuming the [[leadership]] of the Syrian [[Nodites]], he announced his [[intention]] of [[establishing]] an affiliation with the [[work]] of [[Adam and Eve]] in [[the Garden]]. The [[majority]] of his people joined him in this [[program]], and [[Adam]] was cheered by the news that the most powerful and the most [[intelligent]] of all the [[neighboring]] [[tribes]] had swung over almost bodily to the [[support]] of the [[program]] for world improvement; it was decidedly heartening. And shortly after this great [[event]], Serapatatia and his new staff were [[entertained]] by [[Adam and Eve]] in their own [[home]].

75:3.7 For more than five years these [[plans]] were secretly matured. At last they had [[developed]] to the point where [[Eve]] consented to have a secret conference with Cano, the most [[brilliant]] mind and active leader of the near-by colony of friendly [[Nodites]]. Cano was very [[sympathetic]] with the Adamic regime; in fact, he was the [[sincere]] [[spiritual]] [[leader]] of those neighboring [[Nodites]] who favored [[friendly]] relations with [[the Garden]].

75:3.8 The fateful meeting occurred during the twilight hours of the [[autumn]] evening, not far from the [[home]] of [[Adam]]. Eve had never before met the [[beautiful]] and [[enthusiastic]] Cano—and he was a [[magnificent]] specimen of the [[survival]] of the superior physique and outstanding [[intellect]] of his remote progenitors of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:2._THE_PRINCE.27S_STAFF Prince's staff]. And Cano also thoroughly believed in the [[righteousness]] of the Serapatatia project. (Outside of [[the Garden]], [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygamy multiple mating] was a common [[practice]].)

75:3.9 [[Influenced]] by flattery, [[enthusiasm]], and great [[personal]] [[persuasion]], [[Eve]] then and there consented to embark upon the much-[[discussed]] [[enterprise]], to add her own little [[scheme]] of world saving to the larger and more far-reaching [[divine]] [[plan]]. Before she quite realized what was transpiring, the fatal step had been taken. It was done.

75:5.2 It was in the [[despair]] of the [[realization]] of failure that [[Adam]], the day after [[Eve]]'s misstep, sought out Laotta, the brilliant [[Nodite]] woman who was head of the western schools of [[the Garden]], and with premeditation committed the [[folly]] of [[Eve]]. But do not misunderstand; [[Adam]] was not beguiled; he knew exactly what he was about; he [[deliberately]] [[chose]] to [[share]] the [[fate]] of [[Eve]]. He [[loved]] his [[mate]] with a [[supermortal]] [[affection]], and the [[thought]] of the [[possibility]] of a lonely [[vigil]] on [[Urantia]] without her was more than he could [[endure]].

75:5.8 [[Time]] passed, but [[Adam]] was not certain of the [[nature]] of their offense until seventy days after the [[default]] of [[Eve]], when the [[Melchizedek receivers]] returned to [[Urantia]] and assumed [[jurisdiction]] over world affairs. And then he knew they had failed.

75:5.9 But still more trouble was brewing: The news of the [[annihilation]] of the [[Nodite]] settlement near [[Eden]] was not slow in reaching the [[home]] [[tribes]] of ''Serapatatia'' to the north, and presently a great host was assembling to march on [[the Garden]].
