“The Word of God is Love. The
enactment of the Word of God is service to your brothers and sisters. Truly, if the
Word of God is actively resident within your life, the Fruits of Spirit are being produced in your
life through the Service of Love.”

*** CREATION AND EVOLUTION Revisited SURVIVAL OF PLANETARY LIFE In the last
Paper #137 was stated that physical nebulas are non-survivors and eventually will
undergo terminal breakup. Andronover underwent its terminal breakup about 6 billion
years ago after its quartan evolutionary stage
during which Monmatia, the earth’s sun, was born
(1). Monmatia sun was #1,013,572nd out of total of
#1,013,628 Andronover born suns. Just as Andronover nebula had its terminal breakup 6 billion
years ago, the terminal destiny also awaits all of its suns and their
planets. Urantia scientists estimate Monmatia’s terminal breakup in about 5 billion years (2). So what are the options for humanity loosing
its source of light and heat? Some humans currently believe they can inhabit
Mars when Earth (Urantia) becomes un-inhabitable.
However, without sun, Mars will also not be suitable for physical life
habitation. Many humans understand that the individual
souls ascend to morontial mansonia
worlds upon death of physical body. But what will be the destiny of the
remaining humanity that has to physically survive the unfavorable life
conditions on earth next five billion years till Monmatia
sun death? Some humans will not be sufficiently
spiritually evolved to transcend the physical energy changes effected by sun’s
gradual to final terminal breakup and after their physical death their souls
will be translated to morontia world by the
seraphic transport of a transitioning soul as mentioned above. However, spiritually higher evolved physical
humans will be able to transcend into higher earth dimensions when lower
physical earth dimensions (solid/water/air) become unsuitable to support their
physical life. Their path will be similar to Venus’s life where spiritually
higher evolved life has transcended to a higher Venus’s evolutionary spheres
when its lower physical dimensions became no longer suitable to support their
physical life habitation (UB 15:6.10, 49:2.6). Spiritually higher evolved humans after
ascension to a higher Urantia’s dimensions of life,
just as Venus’s, will ultimately progress toward the planetary stages of Life
and Light. The Urantia Book
readers have learned that planetary midwayers live
on the higher Urantia’s dimensions which are energetically
encircuited and supported by Satania’s
local energy system. The Urantia Book says
the following regarding the path of surviving planetary mortals on their way
to the evolutionary stages of Light and Life (edit/modif.): 55:5.1 Mortal creatures living on a sin-stricken,
evil-dominated, self-seeking, isolated world, such as Urantia,
can hardly conceive of the physical perfection, the intellectual attainment,
and the spiritual development which characterize advanced epochs of evolution
on a sinless sphere. 55:5.2 The advanced stages of a world settled in
light and life represent the acme of evolutionary material development. On
these cultured worlds, gone are the idleness and friction of the earlier
primitive ages. Poverty and social inequality have all but vanished,
degeneracy has disappeared, and delinquency is rarely observed. Insanity has
practically ceased to exist, and feeble-mindedness is a rarity. 55:5.3 The economic, social, and administrative
status of these worlds is of a high and perfected order. Science, art, and
industry flourish, and society is a smoothly working mechanism of high
material, intellectual, and cultural achievement. Industry has been largely
diverted to serving the higher aims of such a superb civilization. The
economic life of such a world has become ethical. 55:5.4 War has become a matter of history, and there
are no more armies or police forces. Government is gradually disappearing.
Self-control is slowly rendering laws of human enactment obsolete. The extent
of civil government and statutory regulation, in an intermediate state of
advancing civilization, is in inverse proportion to the morality and
spirituality of the citizenship. 55:5.5 Schools are vastly improved and are devoted to
the training of mind and the expansion of soul. The art centers are exquisite
and the musical organizations superb. The temples of worship with their
associated schools of philosophy and experiential religion are creations of
beauty and grandeur. The open-air arenas of worship assembly are equally
sublime in the simplicity of their artistic appointment. 55:5.6 The provisions for competitive play, humor,
and other phases of personal and group achievement are ample and appropriate.
A special feature of the competitive activities on such a highly cultured
world concerns the efforts of individuals and groups to excel in the sciences
and philosophies of cosmology. Literature and oratory flourish, and language
is so improved as to be symbolic of concepts as well as to be expressive of
ideas. Life is refreshingly simple; man has at last co-ordinated
a high state of mechanical development with an inspiring intellectual
attainment and has overshadowed both with an exquisite spiritual achievement.
The pursuit of happiness is an experience of joy and satisfaction. 55:6.1 As worlds advance in the settled status of
light and life, society becomes increasingly peaceful. The individual, while
no less independent and devoted to his family, has become more altruistic and
fraternal. 55:6.2 On Urantia, and as
you are, you can have little appreciation of the advanced status and
progressive nature of the enlightened races of these perfected worlds. These
people are the flowering of the evolutionary races. But such beings are still
mortal; they continue to breathe, eat, sleep, and drink. This great evolution
is not heaven, but it is a sublime foreshadowing of the divine worlds of the 55:6.3 On a normal world the biologic fitness of the
mortal race was long since brought up to a high level during the post-Adamic epochs; and now, from age to age throughout the
settled eras the physical evolution of man continues. Both vision and hearing
are extended. By now the population has become stationary in numbers.
Reproduction is regulated in accordance with planetary requirements and
innate hereditary endowments: The mortals on a planet during this age are
divided into from five to ten groups, and the lower groups are permitted to
produce only one half as many children as the higher. The continued
improvement of such a magnificent race throughout the era of light and life
is largely a matter of the selective reproduction of those racial strains
which exhibit superior qualities of a social, philosophic, cosmic, and
spiritual nature. 55:6.4 The Adjusters continue to come as in former
evolutionary eras, and as the epochs pass, these mortals are increasingly
able to commune with the indwelling Father fragment. During the embryonic and
pre-spiritual stages of development the adjutant mind-spirits are still
functioning. The Holy Spirit and the ministry of angels are even more
effective as the successive epochs of settled life are experienced. In the
fourth stage of light and life the advanced mortals seem to experience
considerable conscious contact with the spirit presence of the Master Spirit
of super-universe jurisdiction, while the philosophy of such a world is
focused upon the attempt to comprehend the new revelations of God the
Supreme. More than one half of the human inhabitants on planets of this
advanced status experience translation to the morontia
state from among the living. Even so, “old things are passing away; behold,
all things are becoming new.” 55:6.5 We conceive that physical evolution will have
attained its full development by the end of the fifth epoch of the
light-and-life era. We observe that the upper limits of spiritual development
associated with evolving human mind are determined by the Adjuster-fusion
level of conjoint morontia values and cosmic
meanings. But concerning wisdom: While we do not really know, we conjecture
that there can never be a limit to intellectual evolution and the attainment
of wisdom. On a seventh-stage world, wisdom can exhaust the material
potentials, enter upon mota insight, and eventually
even taste of absonite grandeur. 55:6.6 We observe that on these highly evolved and
long seventh-stage worlds human beings fully learn the local universe
language before they are translated; and I have visited a few very old
planets where agondonters were teaching the older
mortals the tongue of the superuniverse. And on
these worlds I have observed the technique whereby the absonite
personalities reveal the presence of the finaliters
in the morontia temple. 55:6.7 This is the story of the magnificent goal of
mortal striving on the evolutionary worlds; and it all takes place even
before human beings enter upon their morontia
careers; all of this splendid development is attainable by material mortals
on the inhabited worlds, the very first stage of that endless and
incomprehensible career of Paradise ascension and divinity attainment. 55:6.8 But can you possibly imagine what sort of
evolutionary mortals are now coming up from worlds long existing in the
seventh epoch of settled light and life? It is such as these who go on to the
morontia worlds of the local universe capital to
begin their ascension careers. 55:6.9 If the mortals of distraught Urantia could only view one of these more advanced worlds
long settled in light and life, they would nevermore question the wisdom of
the evolutionary scheme of creation. Were there no future of eternal creature
progression, still the superb evolutionary attainments of the mortal races on
such settled worlds of perfected achievement would amply justify man’s
creation on the worlds of time and space. References:
