For three hundred thousand years Caligastia had been in charge of Urantia when '''Satan''', ''Lucifer's assistant'', made one of his periodic inspection calls. And when Satan arrived on the planet, his appearance in no way resembled your caricatures of his nefarious majesty. He was, and still is, a [[Lanonandek]] Son of great brilliance. "And no marvel, for Satan himself is a brilliant creature of [[light]]."

"And no marvel, for Satan himself is a brilliant creature of [[light]]."
In the course of this inspection Satan informed [[Caligastia]] of [[Lucifer]]'s then proposed "Declaration of Liberty," and as we now know, the Prince agreed to betray the planet upon the announcement of the [[Lucifer Rebellion|rebellion]]. The loyal universe personalities look with peculiar disdain upon Prince Caligastia because of this premeditated betrayal of trust. The [[Creator Son]] voiced this contempt when he said: "You are like your leader, Lucifer, and you have sinfully perpetuated his iniquity. He was a falsifier from the beginning of his self-exaltation because he abode not in the [[truth]]."

Shortly after Satan's 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."[http://urantia.org/cgi-bin/webglimpse/mfs/usr/local/www/data/papers?link=http://mercy.urantia.org/papers/paper67.html&file=/usr/local/www/data/papers/paper67.html&line=31#mfs]
