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]].

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 [[revelation]]s 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.

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.

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.

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 will creatures of that world will receive Adjusters as soon as they attain the age of moral responsibility, of spiritual choice.

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."
