“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 URANTIA’S PRESENT AND FUTURE
The Andronover nebula underwent its terminal breakup about 6 billion
years ago after its quartan final stage during which the earth’s sun Monmatia
was born. Monmatia sun was #1,013,572nd out of total of #1,013,628 Andronover
delivered, i.e. ejected suns. Just as Andronover nebula underwent its terminal breakup about 6 billion
years ago, similar terminal destiny also awaits all of its born suns and
their planets, including the Monmatia solar system (ref.1) and its planet
Urantia, in about 5 billion years or so (ref.2). With a terminal break up of Monmatia sun and its entire solar system the
planetary biological life, which requires sun’s “lower”
(fire/air/water/earth) energies, will also have a terminal destiny. The “higher” planetary energies spheres (“midwayer’s etheric spheres”),
on the other hand, are energetically encircuited with morontia local sector
power center and life and these planetary spheres are not and will not be
adversely affected by the loss of the physical sun’s light and heat. As described in UB and previous LTP Papers, the super universe’s (SU’s)
constructed worlds form the SU mandala, comprising of 1 SUà10 major
sectors/SU à100 minor sectors/each major sector à100 local universes/each
minor sectorà100 constellations/each local universeà100 morontia local
sectors/each constellation. Each morontia local sector has one Power Center
of 6th order which, via physical controllers, energetically
supports the “higher” (“midwayer’s etheric spheres”) of planetary life. Therefore, while the Monmatia sun is still effectively supporting human
life on Urantia’s “lower” (solid/water/air/fire) planetary spheres of life
with heat and light, the humanity should make all the efforts to spiritually
ascend into the “higher” /“midwayers etheric spheres”/ morontia energy
encircuited and supported planetary spheres of life in order to continue with
its evolutionary career toward the eternal final stages of Life and Light. Considering present laggard status of Urantia’s humanity, the spiritual
ascent of this spiritually backward world into the “higher” planetary etheric
spheres of life will require truly a superhuman effort. For this reasons the
Teaching Mission and Correcting Time programs have been organized by the
super-planetary government in order to help this spiritually laggard world to
spiritually advance and be in step with its other planetary peers. The Urantia world will have to demonstrate a sustainable global growth in
quality, equality and sustainability of all planetary life. The perfection,
intellectual attainment and spiritual development will serve here as a true
indicators that this world is being transformed from sinful to sinless world
ready to march into the advanced epochs of universe life (UB 55:5.1).
UB is stating the following: 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 Paradise ascent. 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:
