Since the times of [[Michael]]'s bestowal on your world the general management of [[Urantia]] has been intrusted to a special group on [[Jerusem]] of twenty-four onetime Urantians. Qualification for membership on this commission is unknown to us, but we have observed that those who have been thus commissioned have all been contributors to the enlarging [[sovereignty]] of the Supreme in the system of [[Satania]]. By nature they were all real leaders when they functioned on Urantia, and (excepting [[Machiventa]] Melchizedek) these qualities of leadership have been further augmented by mansion world [[experience]] and supplemented by the training of [[Jerusem]] citizenship. Members are nominated to the twenty-four by the cabinet of [[Lanaforge]], seconded by the [[Most Highs]] of [[Edentia]], approved by the Assigned Sentinel of [[Jerusem]], and appointed by [[Gabriel]] of [[Salvington]] in accordance with the mandate of Michael. The temporary appointees function just as fully as do the permanent members of this commission of special supervisors.
This board of planetary directors is especially concerned with the supervision of those activities on this world which result from the fact that Michael here experienced his terminal bestowal. They are kept in close and immediate touch with Michael by the liaison activities of a certain [[Brilliant Evening Stars|Brilliant Evening Star]], the identical being who attended upon Jesus throughout the mortal bestowal.
At the present time one [[John the Baptist|John]], known to you as "the Baptist," is chairman of this council when it is in session on Jerusem. But the ex officio head of this council is the Assigned Sentinel of [[Satania]], the direct and personal representative of the Associate Inspector on Salvington and of the Supreme Executive of [[Orvonton]].
The members of this same commission of former Urantians also act as advisory supervisors of the thirty-six other rebellion-isolated worlds of the system; they perform a very valuable service in keeping Lanaforge, the [[System Sovereign]], in close and sympathetic touch with the affairs of these planets, which still remain more or less under the overcontrol of the [[Constellation Fathers]] of [[Norlatiadek]]. These twenty-four counselors make frequent trips as [[individual]]s to each of the quarantined planets, especially to Urantia.
Each of the other isolated worlds is advised by similar and varying sized commissions of its onetime inhabitants, but these other commissions are subordinate to the Urantian group of twenty-four. While the members of the latter commission are thus actively interested in every [[phase change|phase]] of [[human]] progress on each quarantined world in Satania, they are especially and particularly concerned with the welfare and advancement of the mortal races of Urantia, for they immediately and directly supervise the affairs of none of the planets except Urantia, and even here their [[authority]] is not complete excepting in certain domains concerned with mortal survival.
No one knows how long these twenty-four Urantia counselors will continue in their present status, detached from the regular program of [[universe]] activities. They will no doubt continue to serve in their present capacities until some change in planetary status ensues, such as the end of a dispensation, the assumption of full authority by [[Machiventa]] Melchizedek, the final adjudication of the [[Lucifer]] [[Lucifer Rebellion|rebellion]], or the reappearance of Michael on the world of his final bestowal. The present resident governor general of Urantia seems inclined to the opinion that all but Machiventa may be released for [[Paradise]] [[ascension]] the [[moment]] the system of Satania is restored to the constellation [[circuit]]s. But other opinions are also current.
