55:3.1 During this age of [[light and life]] the world increasingly prospers under the [[fatherly]] rule of the [[Planetary Sovereign]]. By this [[time]] the worlds are [[progressing]] under the [[momentum]] of one [[language]], one [[religion]], and, on [[normal]] [[spheres]], one [[race]]. But this [[age]] is not [[perfect]]. These worlds still have well-appointed [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hospital hospitals], homes for the care of the sick. There still remain the [[problems]] of caring for [[accidental]] injuries and the inescapable infirmities attendant upon the decrepitude of old age and the disorders of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senility senility]. [[Disease]] has not been entirely vanquished, neither have the [[earth]] [[animals]] been subdued in [[perfection]]; but such worlds are like [[Paradise]] in [[comparison]] with the early times of [[primitive]] man during the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_52#52:1._PRIMITIVE_MAN pre-Planetary Prince age]. You would [[instinctively]] describe such a realm—could you be suddenly [[transported]] to a [[planet]] in this [[stage]] of [[development]]—as [[heaven]] on [[earth]].

55:3.2 [[Human]] [[government]] in the [[conduct]] of [[material]] affairs continues to [[function]] throughout this [[age]] of [[relative]] [[progress]] and [[perfection]]. The [[public]] [[activities]] of a world in the first [[stage]] of [[light and life]] which I recently visited were [[financed]] by the [[tithing]] [[technique]]. Every [[adult]] worker—and all able-bodied [[citizens]] worked at something—paid ten per cent of his [[income]] or increase to the [[public]] treasury, and it was disbursed as follows:

55:3.10 On these superb worlds the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Childbearing childbearing] period is not greatly prolonged. It is not best for too many years to [[intervene]] between the ages of a [[family]] of [[children]]. When close together in age, [[children]] are able to [[contribute]] much more to their [[mutual]] [[training]]. And on these worlds they are [[magnificently]] trained by the [[competitive]] [[systems]] of keen striving in the advanced [[domains]] and divisions of [[diverse]] [[achievement]] in the mastery of [[truth]], [[beauty]], and [[goodness]]. Never [[fear]] but that even such [[glorified]] [[spheres]] present plenty of [[evil]], real and [[potential]], which is stimulative of the [[choosing]] between [[truth]] and [[error]], [[good]] and [[evil]], [[sin]] and [[righteousness]].

When a settled world [[progresses]] beyond the third stage of [[light and life]], all [[ascenders]] are [[destined]], before [[attaining]] the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_15#15:13._THE_SECTOR_GOVERNMENTS minor sector], to receive some sort of [[transient]] assignment on a [[planet]] passing through the earlier [[stages]] of [[evolution]].
