51:0.1 (580.1)
DURING the dispensation of a Planetary Prince, primitive man reaches the limit of natural evolutionary development, and this biologic attainment signals the System Sovereign to dispatch to such a world the second order of sonship, the biologic uplifters. These Sons, for there are two of them—the Material Son and Daughter—are usually known on a planet as Adam and Eve. The original Material Son of Satania is Adam, and those who go to the system worlds as biologic uplifters always carry the name of this first and original Son of their unique order.
51:0.2 (580.2)
These Sons are the material gift of the Creator Son to the inhabited worlds. Together with the Planetary Prince, they remain on their planet of assignment throughout the evolutionary course of such a sphere. Such an adventure on a world having a Planetary Prince is not much of a hazard, but on an apostate planet, a realm without a spiritual ruler and deprived of interplanetary communication, such a mission is fraught with grave danger.
사타니아의 모든 세계 그리고 다른 체계들에서 이 아들들이 하는 업무에 관해 너희가 전부 알기를 기대할 수는 없을지라도, 유란시아 인종들을 증진시키려고 예루셈의 생물학적 개량자 단체로부터 온 흥미로운 한 쌍 곧 아담과 이브의 삶과 체험에 대하여 다른 문서들이 더 자세히 서술할 것이다. 너희 원주민 인종들을 개선하기 위한 이상적 계획은 훼손됐으나, 그래도 아담의 사명이 무익하지는 않았으며;유란시아는 아담과 이브라는 선물로부터 헤아릴 수 없이 많은 유익을 얻었고, 그들의 동료들 가운데서 그리고 높은 곳의 협의회에서는, 그들의 업적이 전부 헛일이었다고 여기지 않는다.
51:0.3 (580.3)
Although you cannot hope to know all about the work of these Sons on all the worlds of Satania and other systems, other papers depict more fully the life and experiences of the interesting pair, Adam and Eve, who came from the corps of the biologic uplifters of Jerusem to upstep the Urantia races. While there was a miscarriage of the ideal plans for improving your native races, still, Adam’s mission was not in vain; Urantia has profited immeasurably from the gift of Adam and Eve, and among their fellows and in the councils on high their work is not reckoned as a total loss.
51:1.2 (580.5)
The material order of sonship is not uniform throughout the local universe. The Creator Son produces only one pair of these beings in each local system; these original pairs are diverse in nature, being attuned to the life pattern of their respective systems. This is a necessary provision since otherwise the reproductive potential of the Adams would be nonfunctional with that of the evolving mortal beings of the worlds of any one particular system. The Adam and Eve who came to Urantia were descended from the original Satania pair of Material Sons.
51:1.3 (580.6)
Material Sons vary in height from eight to ten feet, and their bodies glow with the brilliance of radiant light of a violet hue. While material blood circulates through their material bodies, they are also surcharged with divine energy and saturated with celestial light. These Material Sons (the Adams) and Material Daughters (the Eves) are equal to each other, differing only in reproductive nature and in certain chemical endowments. They are equal but differential, male and female—hence complemental—and are designed to serve on almost all assignments in pairs.
물질 아들은 이중 영양 섭취를 누리며;본질과 체질에서 정말로 이중적인데, 그 영역의 육신적 존재들이 하는 것과 거의 똑같이, 물질화된 에너지를 섭취하는 한편, 그들의 불멸 실존은, 지속시키는 어떤 시공우주 에너지를 직접 자동으로 흡수함으로써 충분히 유지된다. 부여받은 어떤 사명에서 실패하거나 심지어 의식하면서 고의로 반역을 일으키면, 이 아들들 계층은 격리되어 빛과 생명의 우주 근원과 연결된 것이 단절된다. 그때부터 실질적으로 물질 존재가 되고, 배정된 세계에서 물질 생애 과정을 걸어가도록, 그리고 판결받기 위해 우주 재판관들에게 출두하도록 정해져있다. 그런 불행하고 어리석은 물질 아들이나 딸의 행성 생애는, 결국 물질적 죽음으로 종료될 것이다.
51:1.4 (581.1)
The Material Sons enjoy a dual nutrition; they are really dual in nature and constitution, partaking of materialized energy much as do the physical beings of the realm, while their immortal existence is fully maintained by the direct and automatic intake of certain sustaining cosmic energies. Should they fail on some mission of assignment or even consciously and deliberately rebel, this order of Sons becomes isolated, cut off from connection with the universe source of light and life. Thereupon they become practically material beings, destined to take the course of material life on the world of their assignment and compelled to look to the universe magistrates for adjudication. Material death will eventually terminate the planetary career of such an unfortunate and unwise Material Son or Daughter.
원래의 아담과 이브 곧 직접 창조된 아담과 이브는, 지방우주 아들신분을 갖는 다른 모든 계층과 똑같이 선천적 재능으로 인해 불멸성을 갖지만, 이들의 아들과 딸들은 불멸성 잠재력이 감소되는 것이 특징이다. 원래의 이 부부는, 자신이 낳은 아들과 딸들에게, 무조건 불멸하는 성질을 전달할 수 없다. 이들의 자손이 계속 살기 위해서는, 영의 정신-인력 회로와 끊임없이 지적으로 동시성을 유지하는 것에 의존할 수밖에 없다. 사타니아 체계가 시작된 후로, 행성 아담 13명이 반역과 태만으로 손실됐고, 하위 위탁 직책에서 681,204명이 손실됐다. 이런 변절 대부분은 루시퍼 반역 때 발생했다.
51:1.5 (581.2)
An original or directly created Adam and Eve are immortal by inherent endowment just as are all other orders of local universe sonship, but a diminution of immortality potential characterizes their sons and daughters. This original couple cannot transmit unconditioned immortality to their procreated sons and daughters. Their progeny are dependent for continuing life on unbroken intellectual synchrony with the mind-gravity circuit of the Spirit. Since the inception of the system of Satania, thirteen Planetary Adams have been lost in rebellion and default and 681,204 in the subordinate positions of trust. Most of these defections occurred at the time of the Lucifer rebellion.
51:1.6 (581.3)
While living as permanent citizens on the system capitals, even when functioning on descending missions to the evolutionary planets, the Material Sons do not possess Thought Adjusters, but it is through these very services that they acquire experiential capacity for Adjuster indwellment and the Paradise ascension career. These unique and wonderfully useful beings are the connecting links between the spiritual and physical worlds. They are concentrated on the system headquarters, where they reproduce and carry on as material citizens of the realm, and whence they are dispatched to the evolutionary worlds.
51:1.7 (581.4)
Unlike the other created Sons of planetary service, the material order of sonship is not, by nature, invisible to material creatures like the inhabitants of Urantia. These Sons of God can be seen, understood, and can, in turn, actually mingle with the creatures of time, could even procreate with them, though this role of biologic upliftment usually falls to the progeny of the Planetary Adams.
51:1.8 (581.5)
On Jerusem the loyal children of any Adam and Eve are immortal, but the offspring of a Material Son and Daughter procreated subsequent to their arrival on an evolutionary planet are not thus immune to natural death. There occurs a change in the life-transmitting mechanism when these Sons are rematerialized for reproductive function on an evolutionary world. The Life Carriers designedly deprive the Planetary Adams and Eves of the power of begetting undying sons and daughters. If they do not default, an Adam and Eve on a planetary mission can live on indefinitely, but within certain limits their children experience decreasing longevity with each succeeding generation.
51:2.1 (582.1)
Upon receipt of the news that another inhabited world has attained the height of physical evolution, the System Sovereign convenes the corps of Material Sons and Daughters on the system capital; and following the discussion of the needs of such an evolutionary world, two of the volunteering group—an Adam and an Eve of the senior corps of Material Sons—are selected to undertake the adventure, to submit to the deep sleep preparatory to being enseraphimed and transported from their home of associated service to the new realm of new opportunities and new dangers.
아담과 이브는 반{半}물질 피조물이고, 그런 상태로는 스라빔이 운송할 수 없다. 그들은 배정된 세계로 운송되도록 스라빔에 둘러싸일 수 있게 되기 전에, 체계 수도에서 비물질화 과정을 거쳐야한다. 운송 스라빔은, 물질 아들들에게 그리고 다른 반물질 존재들에게 그런 변화를 일으킬 수 있는데, 그들로 스라빔에 둘러싸이게 하고, 그리하여 한 세계 또는 체계에서 다른 곳으로, 공간을 통해서 운송될 수 있게 만든다. 이런 운송 준비에 표준시간으로 3일이 소요되며, 비물질화된 그런 피조물이 스랍-운송 여행을 끝내고 도착해서 정상 실존으로 재생되는 일에는, 생명 운반자들의 협동이 필요하다.
51:2.2 (582.2)
Adams and Eves are semimaterial creatures and, as such, are not transportable by seraphim. They must undergo dematerialization on the system capital before they can be enseraphimed for transport to the world of assignment. The transport seraphim are able to effect such changes in the Material Sons and in other semimaterial beings as enable them to be enseraphimed and thus to be transported through space from one world or system to another. About three days of standard time are consumed in this transport preparation, and it requires the co-operation of a Life Carrier to restore such a dematerialized creature to normal existence upon arrival at the end of the seraphic-transport journey.
예루셈에서 진화 세계로 운반되도록 아담을 준비시키는 이 비물질화 기법이 있지만, 행성 전체를 비워야 할 경우가 아닌 한, 구제 가능한 전체 인구를 위해서 비물질화 기법의 응급 설비가 만들어지지 않는 한, 그런 세계로부터 그들을 데려갈 수 있는 대등한 다른 방법은 없다. 진화하는 인종의 행성 거주지에 어떤 물리적 대참사가 일어난다면, 멜기세덱들과 생명 운반자들은 모든 생존자를 위하여 비물질화 기법을 도입할 것이며, 이 존재들은 저희를 계속 실존시키도록 준비된 새 세계로 스랍 운송을 통해서 옮겨질 것이다. 한 공간 세계에서 일단 시작된 인간 종족의 진화는 그 행성의 물리적 생존과는 아주 별개로 진행돼야하지만, 진화하는 시절에는 행성 아담이나 이브가 스스로 선택한 세계를 떠나도록 달리 예정돼있지 않다.
51:2.3 (582.3)
While there is this dematerializing technique for preparing the Adams for transit from Jerusem to the evolutionary worlds, there is no equivalent method for taking them away from such worlds unless the entire planet is to be emptied, in which event emergency installation of the dematerialization technique is made for the entire salvable population. If some physical catastrophe should doom the planetary residence of an evolving race, the Melchizedeks and the Life Carriers would install the technique of dematerialization for all survivors, and by seraphic transport these beings would be carried away to the new world prepared for their continuing existence. The evolution of a human race, once initiated on a world of space, must proceed quite independently of the physical survival of that planet, but during the evolutionary ages it is not otherwise intended that a Planetary Adam or Eve shall leave their chosen world.
51:2.4 (582.4)
Upon arrival at their planetary destination the Material Son and Daughter are rematerialized under the direction of the Life Carriers. This entire process takes ten to twenty-eight days of Urantia time. The unconsciousness of the seraphic slumber continues throughout this entire period of reconstruction. When the reassembly of the physical organism is completed, these Material Sons and Daughters stand in their new homes and on their new worlds to all intents and purposes just as they were before submitting to the dematerializing process on Jerusem.
51:3.1 (582.5)
On the inhabited worlds the Material Sons and Daughters construct their own garden homes, soon being assisted by their own children. Usually the site of the garden has been selected by the Planetary Prince, and his corporeal staff do much of the preliminary work of preparation with the help of many of the higher types of native races.
51:3.2 (583.1)
These Gardens of Eden are so named in honor of Edentia, the constellation capital, and because they are patterned after the botanic grandeur of the headquarters world of the Most High Fathers. Such garden homes are usually located in a secluded section and in a near-tropic zone. They are wonderful creations on an average world. You can judge nothing of these beautiful centers of culture by the fragmentary account of the aborted development of such an undertaking on Urantia.
51:3.3 (583.2)
A Planetary Adam and Eve are, in potential, the full gift of physical grace to the mortal races. The chief business of such an imported pair is to multiply and to uplift the children of time. But there is no immediate interbreeding between the people of the garden and those of the world; for many generations Adam and Eve remain biologically segregated from the evolutionary mortals while they build up a strong race of their order. This is the origin of the violet race on the inhabited worlds.
행성 왕자와 그 참모진이 인종 증진을 위한 계획을 준비하고, 아담과 이브가 이를 실행한다. 그리고 바로 여기서, 너희의 물질 아들과 그의 반려자가 유란시아에 도착했을 때 크게 불리한 처지에 놓였다. 캘리개스챠는 아담의 사명에 교활하고 효과적인 저항을 시도했으며;반역하는 행성 왕자의 출현에 내재된 행성의 위험상태에 관하여, 유란시아의 멜기세덱 관재인들이 아담과 이브 두 사람에게 이미 충분히 경고했음에도, 이 반역의 원흉은 교활한 계략으로 에덴 부부의 허를 찔렀고, 그들을 덫에 걸리게 하여, 너희 세계에서 눈에 보이는 통치자로서 그들이 위탁받은 언약을 파기하도록 만들었다. 반역한 행성 왕자는 너희의 아담과 이브와 타협하는 일에 성공했으나, 그들을 루시퍼 반역에 참여시키려는 시도에서는 실패했다.
51:3.4 (583.3)
The plans for race upstepping are prepared by the Planetary Prince and his staff and are executed by Adam and Eve. And this was where your Material Son and his companion were placed at great disadvantage when they arrived on Urantia. Caligastia offered crafty and effective opposition to the Adamic mission; and notwithstanding that the Melchizedek receivers of Urantia had duly warned both Adam and Eve concerning the planetary dangers inherent in the presence of the rebellious Planetary Prince, this archrebel, by a wily stratagem, outmaneuvered the Edenic pair and entrapped them into a violation of the covenant of their trusteeship as the visible rulers of your world. The traitorous Planetary Prince did succeed in compromising your Adam and Eve, but he failed in his effort to involve them in the Lucifer rebellion.
다섯째 계층의 천사 곧 행성 도우미들이 아담의 사명에 배속되는데, 행성 아담이 세계 모험에 임할 때 반드시 동행한다. 처음에 배정된 단체는 대개 약 10만이다. 유란시아 아담과 이브의 업무가 조급하게 시작됐을 때, 즉 그들이 규정된 계획에서 이탈했을 때, 비난받을만한 품행에 관하여 그들을 꾸짖은 자는, 동산의 소리 스랍 가운데 하나였다. 그리고 이 사건에 대한 너희의 이야기는, 초자연적인 모든 것을 주 하나님 탓으로 돌리려는 경향이 너희 행성의 전승에 있음을 잘 보여준다. 유란시아인은 이것 때문에, 우주 아버지의 본성에 관하여 자주 혼동해왔는데, 그분의 모든 동역자와 하급자의 말과 행위가 너무나 전반적으로 그분 탓으로 돌려졌기 때문이다. 아담과 이브의 경우에, 동산의 천사는 행성 도우미들의 우두머리로서 그때 근무하고 있었을 뿐이다. 신성한 계획이 훼손됐음을 이 스라빔 솔로니아가 선언했고, 유란시아로 돌아오라고 멜기세덱 관재인들에게 요청했다.
51:3.5 (583.4)
The fifth order of angels, the planetary helpers, are attached to the Adamic mission, always accompanying the Planetary Adams on their world adventures. The corps of initial assignment is usually about one hundred thousand. When the work of the Urantia Adam and Eve was prematurely launched, when they departed from the ordained plan, it was one of the seraphic Voices of the Garden who remonstrated with them concerning their reprehensible conduct. And your narrative of this occurrence well illustrates the manner in which your planetary traditions have tended to ascribe everything supernatural to the Lord God. Because of this, Urantians have often become confused concerning the nature of the Universal Father since the words and acts of all his associates and subordinates have been so generally attributed to him. In the case of Adam and Eve, the angel of the Garden was none other than the chief of the planetary helpers then on duty. This seraphim, Solonia, proclaimed the miscarriage of the divine plan and requisitioned the return of the Melchizedek receivers to Urantia.
51:3.6 (583.5)
The secondary midway creatures are indigenous to the Adamic missions. As with the corporeal staff of the Planetary Prince, the descendants of the Material Sons and Daughters are of two orders: their physical children and the secondary order of midway creatures. These material but ordinarily invisible planetary ministers contribute much to the advancement of civilization and even to the subjection of insubordinate minorities who may seek to subvert social development and spiritual progress.
51:3.7 (583.6)
The secondary midwayers should not be confused with the primary order, who date from the near times of the arrival of the Planetary Prince. On Urantia a majority of these earlier midway creatures went into rebellion with Caligastia and have, since Pentecost, been interned. Many of the Adamic group who did not remain loyal to the planetary administration are likewise interned.
너희 세계에는:행성 왕자인 캘리개스챠;하나님의 물질 아들인 아담과 이브;아브라함 시대에 “살렘의 현자{賢者}”인 마키벤타 멜기세덱;그리고 낙원 증여 아들로서 왔던 그리스도 미가엘, 이렇게 아들신분에 해당하는 네 계층이 방문했다. 네바돈 우주의 최상급 통치자인 미가엘이, 충성스럽고 유능한 행성 왕자와, 헌신되고 성공적인 물질 아들, 이 두 존재의 환영을 받을 수만 있었다면, 증여 아들의 일생의 과업과 사명의 질을 증진시키려고 이 두 존재가 무척 많은 일을 할 수 있었을 것이니, 얼마나 더 효과적이고 아름다웠을지! 그러나 모든 세계가 유란시아처럼 불행했던 것은 아니며, 또한 행성 아담들의 사명이 항상 그토록 어렵고 위험하지는 않았다. 그들은 성공할 때 위대한 민족이 발달되도록 기여하며, 눈에 보이는 행성 직무 우두머리로서, 한 세계가 빛과 생명에 안주하는 그 시대로 들어가기까지 아무리 오래 걸리더라도 계속 존재한다.
51:3.9 (584.2)
Your world has been visited by four orders of sonship: Caligastia, the Planetary Prince; Adam and Eve of the Material Sons of God; Machiventa Melchizedek, the “sage of Salem” in the days of Abraham; and Christ Michael, who came as the Paradise bestowal Son. How much more effective and beautiful it would have been had Michael, the supreme ruler of the universe of Nebadon, been welcomed to your world by a loyal and efficient Planetary Prince and a devoted and successful Material Son, both of whom could have done so much to enhance the lifework and mission of the bestowal Son! But not all worlds have been so unfortunate as Urantia, neither has the mission of the Planetary Adams always been so difficult or so hazardous. When they are successful, they contribute to the development of a great people, continuing as the visible heads of planetary affairs even far into the age when such a world is settled in light and life.
51:4.1 (584.3)
The race of dominance during the early ages of the inhabited worlds is the red man, who ordinarily is the first to attain human levels of development. But while the red man is the senior race of the planets, the succeeding colored peoples begin to make their appearances very early in the age of mortal emergence.
51:4.2 (584.4)
The earlier races are somewhat superior to the later; the red man stands far above the indigo—black—race. The Life Carriers impart the full bestowal of the living energies to the initial or red race, and each succeeding evolutionary manifestation of a distinct group of mortals represents variation at the expense of the original endowment. Even mortal stature tends to decrease from the red man down to the indigo race, although on Urantia unexpected strains of giantism appeared among the green and orange peoples.
51:4.3 (584.5)
On those worlds having all six evolutionary races the superior peoples are the first, third, and fifth races—the red, the yellow, and the blue. The evolutionary races thus alternate in capacity for intellectual growth and spiritual development, the second, fourth, and sixth being somewhat less endowed. These secondary races are the peoples that are missing on certain worlds; they are the ones that have been exterminated on many others. It is a misfortune on Urantia that you so largely lost your superior blue men, except as they persist in your amalgamated “white race.” The loss of your orange and green stocks is not of such serious concern.
여섯--또는 세-- 유색인종의 진화는, 홍색인의 원래 자질을 저하시키는 것처럼 보이지만, 필사자 유형에 무척 바람직한 어떤 변이를 제공하며, 다른 방법으로는 달성 불가능한 다양한 인간 잠재성이 표현되도록 마련한다. 이런 여러 변경은, 외계에서 들어온 아담 인종 곧 보라색 인종이 나중에 이를 증진시킨다면, 전체적으로 인류의 진보에 유익하다. 유란시아 경우에, 이 평범한 혼합 계획이 광범하게 수행되지 못했고, 인종 진화 계획을 수행하기에 이렇게 실패했으므로, 너희 세계에서 이 초기 인종들의 후손을 관찰하더라도, 인간이 거주하는 보통 행성에서 이 민족들의 상태가 어떤지를 너희가 도무지 많이 이해할 수 없게 됐다.
51:4.4 (584.6)
The evolution of six—or of three—colored races, while seeming to deteriorate the original endowment of the red man, provides certain very desirable variations in mortal types and affords an otherwise unattainable expression of diverse human potentials. These modifications are beneficial to the progress of mankind as a whole provided they are subsequently upstepped by the imported Adamic or violet race. On Urantia this usual plan of amalgamation was not extensively carried out, and this failure to execute the plan of race evolution makes it impossible for you to understand very much about the status of these peoples on an average inhabited planet by observing the remnants of these early races on your world.
51:4.6 (585.2)
The more backward humans are usually employed as laborers by the more progressive races. This accounts for the origin of slavery on the planets during the early ages. The orange men are usually subdued by the red and reduced to the status of servants—sometimes exterminated. The yellow and red men often fraternize, but not always. The yellow race usually enslaves the green, while the blue man subdues the indigo. These races of primitive men think no more of utilizing the services of their backward fellows in compulsory labor than Urantians would of buying and selling horses and cattle.
51:4.7 (585.3)
On most normal worlds involuntary servitude does not survive the dispensation of the Planetary Prince, although mental defectives and social delinquents are often still compelled to perform involuntary labor. But on all normal spheres this sort of primitive slavery is abolished soon after the arrival of the imported violet or Adamic race.
진화하는 이 여섯 인종은, 아담 개량자들의 자손과 혼합됨으로써 섞이고 강화되게 돼있다. 그러나 이 사람들이 섞이기 전에, 열등하고 부적합한 자들은 대부분 제거된다. 행성 왕자와 물질 아들은 다른 적절한 행성 당국과 함께, 번식하는 혈통들이 적합한지에 대하여 판단한다. 이런 급진적 계획표가 유란시아에서 수행되기 어려운 것은, 각 개인이 생물학적으로 적합한지 부적합한지를 판단할 수 있는 유능한 심판관들이 너희 세계 인종 가운데에 없기 때문이다. 이런 거침돌이 있음에도, 아주 두드러지게 부적합하고, 결함이 있고, 퇴화되고, 반사회적인 혈통들을 생물학적으로 제거하는 데 너희가 동의할 수 있어야하는 듯이 보인다.
51:4.8 (585.4)
These six evolutionary races are destined to be blended and exalted by amalgamation with the progeny of the Adamic uplifters. But before these peoples are blended, the inferior and unfit are largely eliminated. The Planetary Prince and the Material Son, with other suitable planetary authorities, pass upon the fitness of the reproducing strains. The difficulty of executing such a radical program on Urantia consists in the absence of competent judges to pass upon the biologic fitness or unfitness of the individuals of your world races. Notwithstanding this obstacle, it seems that you ought to be able to agree upon the biologic disfellowshiping of your more markedly unfit, defective, degenerate, and antisocial stocks.
51:5.1 (585.5)
When a Planetary Adam and Eve arrive on an inhabited world, they have been fully instructed by their superiors as to the best way to effect the improvement of the existing races of intelligent beings. The plan of procedure is not uniform; much is left to the judgment of the ministering pair, and mistakes are not infrequent, especially on disordered, insurrectionary worlds, such as Urantia.
51:5.2 (585.6)
Usually the violet peoples do not begin to amalgamate with the planetary natives until their own group numbers over one million. But in the meantime the staff of the Planetary Prince proclaims that the children of the Gods have come down, as it were, to be one with the races of men; and the people eagerly look forward to the day when announcement will be made that those who have qualified as belonging to the superior racial strains may proceed to the Garden of Eden and be there chosen by the sons and daughters of Adam as the evolutionary fathers and mothers of the new and blended order of mankind.
51:5.3 (585.7)
On normal worlds the Planetary Adam and Eve never mate with the evolutionary races. This work of biologic betterment is a function of the Adamic progeny. But these Adamites do not go out among the races; the prince’s staff bring to the Garden of Eden the superior men and women for voluntary mating with the Adamic offspring. And on most worlds it is considered the highest honor to be selected as a candidate for mating with the sons and daughters of the garden.
51:5.4 (586.1)
For the first time the racial wars and other tribal struggles are diminished, while the world races increasingly strive to qualify for recognition and admission to the garden. You can at best have but a very meager idea of how this competitive struggle comes to occupy the center of all activities on a normal planet. This whole scheme of race improvement was early wrecked on Urantia.
51:5.5 (586.2)
The violet race is a monogamous people, and every evolutionary man or woman uniting with the Adamic sons and daughters pledges not to take other mates and to instruct his or her children in single-matedness. The children of each of these unions are educated and trained in the schools of the Planetary Prince and then are permitted to go forth to the race of their evolutionary parent, there to marry among the selected groups of superior mortals.
51:5.6 (586.3)
When this strain of the Material Sons is added to the evolving races of the worlds, a new and greater era of evolutionary progress is initiated. Following this procreative outpouring of imported ability and superevolutionary traits there ensues a succession of rapid strides in civilization and racial development; in one hundred thousand years more progress is made than in a million years of former struggle. On your world, even in the face of the miscarriage of the ordained plans, great progress has been made since the gift to your peoples of Adam’s life plasm.
51:5.7 (586.4)
But while the pure-line children of a planetary Garden of Eden can bestow themselves upon the superior members of the evolutionary races and thereby upstep the biologic level of mankind, it would not prove beneficial for the higher strains of Urantia mortals to mate with the lower races; such an unwise procedure would jeopardize all civilization on your world. Having failed to achieve race harmonization by the Adamic technique, you must now work out your planetary problem of race improvement by other and largely human methods of adaptation and control.
대부분의 인간거주 세계에서, 에덴 동산은 우수한 문화 중심지로서 남아있고, 행성의 운영 및 관례의 사회적 원형으로서 오랜 세월에 걸쳐서 계속 작용한다. 심지어 보라색 민족들이 상대적으로 격리된 초기 시대에도, 그들의 학교는 세계 인종들로부터 합당한 후보자를 받아들이며, 한편 그 동산의 산업 발달은 새 무역 경로를 개설한다. 그리하여 아담과 이브 및 그 후손들은, 그들의 세계에서 진화 인종들의 갑작스런 문화적 팽창과 급속한 향상에 기여한다. 그리고 이 모든 관계는, 진화 인종들과 아담의 아들들이 혼합됨으로써 증대되고 안정되는데, 그 결과로 생물학적 상태가 즉시 개선되고, 지적 잠재력이 갱생{更生}되고, 영적 감수성이 증진된다.
51:6.1 (586.5)
On most of the inhabited worlds the Gardens of Eden remain as superb cultural centers and continue to function as the social patterns of planetary conduct and usage age after age. Even in early times when the violet peoples are relatively segregated, their schools receive suitable candidates from among the world races, while the industrial developments of the garden open up new channels of commercial intercourse. Thus do the Adams and Eves and their progeny contribute to the sudden expansion of culture and to the rapid improvement of the evolutionary races of their worlds. And all of these relationships are augmented and sealed by the amalgamation of the evolutionary races and the sons of Adam, resulting in the immediate upstepping of biologic status, the quickening of intellectual potential, and the enhancement of spiritual receptivity.
51:6.2 (586.6)
On normal worlds the garden headquarters of the violet race becomes the second center of world culture and, jointly with the headquarters city of the Planetary Prince, sets the pace for the development of civilization. For centuries the city headquarters schools of the Planetary Prince and the garden schools of Adam and Eve are contemporary. They are usually not very far apart, and they work together in harmonious co-operation.
51:6.3 (587.1)
Think what it would mean on your world if somewhere in the Levant there were a world center of civilization, a great planetary university of culture, which had functioned uninterruptedly for 37,000 years. And again, pause to consider how the moral authority of even such an ancient center would be reinforced were there situated not far-distant still another and older headquarters of celestial ministry whose traditions would exert a cumulative force of 500,000 years of integrated evolutionary influence. It is custom which eventually spreads the ideals of Eden to a whole world.
51:6.4 (587.2)
The schools of the Planetary Prince are primarily concerned with philosophy, religion, morals, and the higher intellectual and artistic achievements. The garden schools of Adam and Eve are usually devoted to practical arts, fundamental intellectual training, social culture, economic development, trade relations, physical efficiency, and civil government. Eventually these world centers amalgamate, but this actual affiliation sometimes does not occur until the times of the first Magisterial Son.
행성 아담과 이브의 지속적인 실존은 보라색 인종의 순수-혈통 핵심과 함께 에덴 문화에 그 성장의 안정성을 부여하여, 전통이라는 강력한 힘으로 세계의 문명에 작용하게 된다. 불멸하는 이 물질 아들과 딸들 안에서, 우리는 영원한 창조주와 시간세계에서 가장 낮은 유한 인격체들 사이의 거의 무한한 간격에 다리를 놓아 하나님과 사람을 연결하는 마지막이자 필수인 연결고리를 만난다. 육체를 가졌고 물질적이고 심지어 유란시아 필사자처럼 남녀 구별이 있는 피조물인 높은 곳에서 기원된 존재가 여기 있는데, 물질 아들과 딸은 영 존재 가운데 비교적 낮은 계층 전체를 볼 수 있기 때문에, 눈에 보이지 않는 행성 왕자를 볼 수 있고 납득할 수 있고 그 영역의 필사 피조물에게 그의 말을 통역해 줄 수 있으며;보였다 안 보였다 하는, 행성 왕자 및 그의 참모진 전체를 눈에 보이게 한다.

The continuing existence of the Planetary Adam and Eve, together with the pure-line nucleus of the violet race, imparts that stability of growth to Edenic culture by virtue of which it comes to act upon the civilization of a world with the compelling force of tradition. In these immortal Material Sons and Daughters we encounter the last and the indispensable link connecting God with man, bridging the almost infinite gulf between the eternal Creator and the lowest finite personalities of time. Here is a being of high origin who is physical, material, even a sex creature like Urantia mortals, one who can see and comprehend the invisible Planetary Prince and interpret him to the mortal creatures of the realm, for the Material Sons and Daughters are able to see all of the lower orders of spirit beings; they visualize the Planetary Prince and his entire staff, visible and invisible.
51:6.6 (587.4)
With the passing of centuries, through the amalgamation of their progeny with the races of men, this same Material Son and Daughter become accepted as the common ancestors of mankind, the common parents of the now blended descendants of the evolutionary races. It is intended that mortals who start out from an inhabited world have the experience of recognizing seven fathers:
51:7.1 (587.12)
From time to time the Avonal Sons of Paradise come to the inhabited worlds for judicial actions, but the first Avonal to arrive on a magisterial mission inaugurates the fourth dispensation of an evolutionary world of time and space. On some planets where this Magisterial Son is universally accepted, he remains for one age; and thus the planet prospers under the joint rulership of three Sons: the Planetary Prince, the Material Son, and the Magisterial Son, the latter two being visible to all the inhabitants of the realm.
정상적으로 진화하는 세계에서는, 첫 집정관 아들이 사명을 완료하기 전에 행성 왕자와 물질 아들의 교육 및 경영 업무의 통합이 이뤄진다. 행성에서 이중 감독이 이렇게 융합되면, 새롭고 효과적인 체제의 세계 경영이 실존하게 된다. 집정관 아들이 물러남에 따라서, 행성 아담은 그 구체의 외부 지휘를 맡는다. 물질 아들과 딸은, 그 세계가 빛과 생명에 안주할 때까지 행성 경영인으로서 공동으로 그렇게 행동하며;이렇게 되면, 행성 왕자는 행성 주권자 지위로 승진된다. 이런 진보된 진화 시대 동안, 아담과 이브는 영화롭게 된 그 영역의 공동 총리{總理}라고 불릴 수 있는 어떤 존재가 된다.

Before the first Magisterial Son concludes his mission on a normal evolutionary world, there has been effected the union of the educational and administrative work of the Planetary Prince and the Material Son. This amalgamation of the dual supervision of a planet brings into existence a new and effective order of world administration. Upon the retirement of the Magisterial Son the Planetary Adam assumes the outward direction of the sphere. The Material Son and Daughter thus act jointly as planetary administrators until the settling of the world in the era of light and life; whereupon the Planetary Prince is elevated to the position of Planetary Sovereign. During this age of advanced evolution, Adam and Eve become what might be called joint prime ministers of the glorified realm.
51:7.3 (588.2)
As soon as the new and consolidated capital of the evolving world has become well established, and just as fast as competent subordinate administrators can be properly trained, subcapitals are founded on remote land bodies and among the different peoples. Before the arrival of another dispensational Son, from fifty to one hundred of these subcenters will have been organized.
51:7.4 (588.3)
The Planetary Prince and his staff still foster the spiritual and philosophic domains of activity. Adam and Eve pay particular attention to the physical, scientific, and economic status of the realm. Both groups equally devote their energies to the promotion of the arts, social relations, and intellectual achievements.
51:7.5 (588.4)
By the time of the inauguration of the fifth dispensation of world affairs, a magnificent administration of planetary activities has been achieved. Mortal existence on such a well-managed sphere is indeed stimulating and profitable. And if Urantians could only observe life on such a planet, they would immediately appreciate the value of those things which their world has lost through embracing evil and participating in rebellion.
