The presence of a morontia temple at the capital of an
inhabited world is the certificate of the admission of such a sphere to
the settled ages of light and life. Before the Teacher Sons leave a
world at the conclusion of their terminal mission, they inaugurate this
final epoch of evolutionary attainment; they preside on that day when
the "holy temple comes down upon earth." This event, signalizing the
dawn of the era of light and life, is always honored by the personal
presence of the Paradise bestowal Son of that planet, who comes to
witness this great day. There in this temple of unparalleled beauty,
this bestowal Son of Paradise proclaims the long-time Planetary Prince
as the new Planetary Sovereign and invests such a faithful Lanonandek
Son with new powers and extended authority over planetary affairs. The
System Sovereign is also present and speaks in confirmation of these
pronouncements.
A morontia temple has three parts: Centermost is the
sanctuary of the Paradise bestowal Son. On the right is the seat of the
former Planetary Prince, now Planetary Sovereign; and when present in
the temple, this Lanonandek Son is visible to the more spiritual
individuals of the realm. On the left is the seat of the acting chief of
finaliters attached to the planet.
Although the planetary temples have been spoken of as
"coming down from heaven," in reality no actual material is transported
from the system headquarters. The architecture of each is worked out in
miniature on the system capital, and the Morontia Power Supervisors
subsequently bring these approved plans to the planet. Here, in
association with the Master Physical Controllers, they proceed to build
the morontia temple according to specifications.
The average morontia temple seats about three hundred
thousand spectators. These edifices are not used for worship, play, or
for receiving broadcasts; they are devoted to the special ceremonies of
the planet, such as: communications with the System Sovereign or with
the Most Highs, special visualization ceremonies designed to reveal the
personality presence of spirit beings, and silent cosmic contemplation.
The schools of cosmic philosophy here conduct their graduation
exercises, and here also do the mortals of the realm receive planetary
recognition for achievements of high social service and for other
outstanding attainments.
Such a morontia temple also serves as the place of
assembly for witnessing the translation of living mortals to the
morontia existence. It is because the translation temple is composed of
morontia material that it is not destroyed by the blazing glory of the
consuming fire which so completely obliterates the physical bodies of
those mortals who therein experience final fusion with their divine
Adjusters. On a large world these departure flares are almost
continuous, and as the number of translations increases, subsidiary
morontia life shrines are provided in different areas of the planet. Not
long since I sojourned on a world in the far north whereon twenty-five
morontia shrines were functioning.
On presettled worlds, planets without morontia temples,
these fusion flashes many times occur in the planetary atmosphere, where
the material body of a translation candidate is elevated by the midway
creatures and the physical controllers.
Natural, physical death
is not a mortal inevitability. The majority of advanced evolutionary
beings, citizens on worlds existing in the final era of light and life,
do not die; they are translated directly from the life in the flesh to
the morontia existence.
This experience of translation from the material life to
the morontia state--fusion of the immortal soul with the indwelling
Adjuster--increases in frequency commensurate with the evolutionary
progress of the planet. At first only a few mortals in each age attain
translation levels of spiritual progress, but with the onset of the
successive ages of the Teacher Sons, more and more Adjuster fusions
occur before the termination of the lengthening lives of these
progressing mortals; and by the time of the terminal mission of the
Teacher Sons, approximately one quarter of these superb mortals are
exempt from natural death.
Farther along in the era of light and life the midway
creatures or their associates sense the approaching status of probable
soul-Adjuster union and signify this to the destiny guardians, who in
turn communicate these matters to the finaliter group under whose
jurisdiction this mortal may be functioning; then there is issued the
summons of the Planetary Sovereign for such a mortal to resign all
planetary duties, bid farewell to the world of his origin, and repair to
the inner temple of the Planetary Sovereign, there to await morontia
transit, the translation flash, from the material domain of evolution to
the morontia level of prespirit progression.
When the family, friends, and working group of such a
fusion candidate have forgathered in the morontia temple, they are
distributed around the central stage whereon the fusion candidates are
resting, meantime freely conversing with their assembled friends. A
circle of intervening celestial personalities is arranged to protect the
material mortals from the action of the energies manifest at the instant
of the "life flash" which delivers the ascension candidate from the
bonds of material flesh, thereby doing for such an evolutionary mortal
everything that natural death does for those who are thereby delivered
from the flesh.
Many fusion candidates may be assembled in the spacious
temple at the same time. And what a beautiful occasion when mortals thus
forgather to witness the ascension of their loved ones in spiritual
flames, and what a contrast to those earlier ages when mortals must
commit their dead to the embrace of the terrestrial elements! The scenes
of weeping and wailing characteristic of earlier epochs of human
evolution are now replaced by ecstatic joy and the sublimest enthusiasm
as these God-knowing mortals bid their loved ones a transient farewell
as they are removed from their material associations by the spiritual
fires of consuming grandeur and ascending glory. On worlds settled in
light and life, "funerals" are occasions of supreme joy, profound
satisfaction, and inexpressible hope.
The souls of these progressing mortals are increasingly
filled with faith, hope, and assurance. The spirit permeating those
gathered around the translation shrine resembles that of the joyful
friends and relatives who might assemble at a graduating exercise for
one of their group, or who might come together to witness the conferring
of some great honor upon one of their number. And it would be decidedly
helpful if less advanced mortals could only learn to view natural death
with something of this same cheerfulness and lightheartedness.
Mortal observers can see nothing of their translated
associates subsequent to the fusion flash. Such translated souls proceed
by Adjuster transit direct to the resurrection hall of the appropriate
morontia-training world. These transactions concerned with the
translation of living human beings to the morontia world are supervised
by an archangel who was assigned to such a world on the day when it was
first settled in light and life.
By the time a world attains the fourth stage of light
and life, more than half the mortals leave the planet by translation
from among the living. Such diminishment of death continues on and on,
but I know of no system whose inhabited worlds, even though long settled
in life, are entirely free from natural death as the technique of escape
from the bonds of flesh. And until such a high state of planetary
evolution is uniformly attained, the morontia-training worlds of the
local universe must continue in service as educational and cultural
spheres for the evolving morontia progressors. The elimination of death
is theoretically possible, but it has not yet occurred according to my
observation. Perhaps such a status may be attained during the faraway
stretches of the succeeding epochs of the seventh stage of settled
planetary life.
The translated souls of the flowering ages of the
settled spheres do not pass through the mansion worlds. Neither do they
sojourn, as students, on the morontia worlds of the system or
constellation. They do not pass through any of the earlier phases of
morontia life. They are the only ascending mortals who so nearly escape
the morontia transition from material existence to semispirit status.
The initial experience of such Son-seized mortals in the ascension
career is in the services of the progression worlds of the universe
headquarters. And from these study worlds of Salvington they go back as
teachers to the very worlds they passed by, subsequently going on inward
to Paradise by the established route of mortal ascension.
Could you but visit a planet in an advanced stage of
development, you would quickly grasp the reasons for providing for the
differential reception of ascending mortals on the mansion and higher
morontia worlds. You would readily understand that beings passing on
from such highly evolved spheres are prepared to resume their Paradise
ascent far in advance of the average mortal arriving from a disordered
and backward world like Urantia.
No matter from what level of planetary attainment human
beings may ascend to the morontia worlds, the seven mansion spheres
afford them ample opportunity to gain in experience as teacher-students
all of everything which they failed to pass through because of the
advanced status of their native planets.
The universe is unfailing in the application of these
equalizing techniques designed to insure that no ascender shall be
deprived of aught which is essential to his ascension experience.
During this age of
light and life the world increasingly prospers under the fatherly rule
of the Planetary Sovereign. By this time the worlds are progressing
under the momentum of one language, one religion, and, on normal
spheres, one race. But this age is not perfect. These worlds still have
well-appointed hospitals, homes for the care of the sick. There still
remain the problems of caring for accidental injuries and the
inescapable infirmities attendant upon the decrepitude of old age and
the disorders of senility. Disease has not been entirely vanquished,
neither have the earth animals been subdued in perfection; but such
worlds are like Paradise in comparison with the early times of primitive
man during the pre-Planetary Prince age. You would instinctively
describe such a realm--could you be suddenly transported to a planet in
this stage of development--as heaven on earth.
Human government in the conduct of material affairs
continues to function throughout this age of relative progress and
perfection. The public activities of a world in the first stage of light
and life which I recently visited were financed by the tithing
technique. Every adult worker--and all able-bodied citizens worked at
something--paid ten per cent of his income or increase to the public
treasury, and it was disbursed as follows:
1. Three per cent was expended in the promotion of
truth--science, education, and philosophy.
2. Three per cent was devoted to beauty--play, social
leisure, and art.
3. Three per cent was dedicated to goodness--social
service, altruism, and religion.
4. One per cent was assigned to the insurance reserves
against the risk of incapacity for labor resultant from accident,
disease, old age, or unpreventable disasters.
The natural resources of this planet were administered
as social possessions, community property.
On this world the highest honor conferred upon a citizen
was the order of "supreme service," being the only degree of recognition
ever to be granted in the morontia temple. This recognition was bestowed
upon those who had long distinguished themselves in some phase of
supermaterial discovery or planetary social service.
The majority of social and administrative posts were
held jointly by men and women. Most of the teaching was also done
jointly; likewise all judicial trusts were discharged by similar
associated couples.
On these superb worlds the childbearing period is not
greatly prolonged. It is not best for too many years to intervene
between the ages of a family of children. When close together in age,
children are able to contribute much more to their mutual training. And
on these worlds they are magnificently trained by the competitive
systems of keen striving in the advanced domains and divisions of
diverse achievement in the mastery of truth, beauty, and goodness. Never
fear but that even such glorified spheres present plenty of evil, real
and potential, which is stimulative of the choosing between truth and
error, good and evil, sin and righteousness.
Nevertheless, there is a certain, inevitable penalty
attaching to mortal existence on such advanced evolutionary planets.
When a settled world progresses beyond the third stage of light and
life, all ascenders are destined, before attaining the minor sector, to
receive some sort of transient assignment on a planet passing through
the earlier stages of evolution.
Each of these successive ages represents advancing
achievements in all phases of planetary attainment. In the initial age
of light the revelation of truth was enlarged to embrace the workings of
the universe of universes, while the Deity study of the second age is
the attempt to master the protean concept of the nature, mission,
ministry, associations, origin, and destiny of the Creator Sons, the
first level of God the Sevenfold.
A planet the size of Urantia, when fairly well settled,
would have about one hundred subadministrative centers. These
subordinate centers would be presided over by one of the following
groups of qualified administrators:
1. Young Material Sons and Daughters brought from the
system headquarters to act as assistants to the ruling Adam and Eve.
2. The progeny of the semimortal staff of the Planetary
Prince who were procreated on certain worlds for this and other similar
responsibilities.
3. The direct planetary progeny of Adam and Eve.
4. Materialized and humanized midway creatures.
5. Mortals of Adjuster-fusion status who, upon their own
petition, are temporarily exempted from translation by the order of the
Personalized Adjuster of universe chieftainship in order that they may
continue on the planet in certain important administrative posts.
6. Specially trained mortals of the planetary schools of
administration who have also received the order of supreme service of
the morontia temple.
7. Certain elective commissions of three properly
qualified citizens who are sometimes chosen by the citizenry by
direction of the Planetary Sovereign in accordance with their special
ability to accomplish some definite task which is needful in that
particular planetary sector.
The great handicap confronting Urantia in the matter of
attaining the high planetary destiny of light and life is embraced in
the problems of disease, degeneracy, war, multicolored races, and
multilingualism.
No evolutionary world can hope to progress beyond the
first stage of settledness in light until it has achieved one language,
one religion, and one philosophy. Being of one race greatly facilitates
such achievement, but the many peoples of Urantia do not preclude the
attainment of higher stages.
4. Administrative Readjustments
|
In the successive stages
of settled existence the inhabited worlds make marvelous progress under
the wise and sympathetic administration of the volunteer Corps of the
Finality, ascenders of Paradise attainment who have come back to
minister to their brethren in the flesh. These finaliters are active in
co-operation with the Trinity Teacher Sons, but they do not begin their
real participation in world affairs until the morontia temple appears on
earth.
Upon the formal inauguration of the planetary ministry
of the Corps of the Finality, the majority of the celestial hosts
withdraw. But the seraphic guardians of destiny continue their personal
ministry to the progressing mortals in light; indeed such angels come in
ever-increasing numbers throughout the settled ages since larger and
larger groups of human beings reach the third cosmic circle of
co-ordinate mortal attainment during the planetary life span.
This is merely the first of the successive
administrative adjustments which attend the unfolding of the successive
ages of increasingly brilliant attainment on the inhabited worlds as
they pass from the first to the seventh stage of settled existence.
1. The first stage of light and life. A world in
this initial settled stage is being administered by three rulers:
a. The Planetary Sovereign,
presently to be advised by a counseling Trinity Teacher Son, in all
probability the chief of the terminal corps of such Sons to function on
the planet.
b. The chief of the planetary
corps of finaliters.
c. Adam and Eve, who function
jointly as the unifiers of the dual leadership of the Prince-Sovereign
and the chief of finaliters.
Acting as interpreters for the seraphic guardians and
the finaliters are the exalted and liberated midway creatures. One of
the last acts of the Trinity Teacher Sons on their terminal mission is
to liberate the midwayers of the realm and to promote (or restore) them
to advanced planetary status, assigning them to responsible places in
the new administration of the settled sphere. Such changes have already
been made in the range of human vision as enable mortals to recognize
these heretofore invisible cousins of the early Adamic regime. This is
made possible by the final discoveries of physical science in liaison
with the enlarged planetary functions of the Master Physical
Controllers.
The System Sovereign has authority to release midway
creatures any time after the first settled stage so that they may
humanize in the morontia by the aid of the Life Carriers and the
physical controllers and, after receiving Thought Adjusters, start out
on their Paradise ascension.
In the third and subsequent stages, some of the
midwayers are still functioning, chiefly as contact personalities for
the finaliters, but as each stage of light and life is entered, new
orders of liaison ministers largely replace the midwayers; very few of
them ever remain beyond the fourth stage of light. The seventh stage
will witness the coming of the first absonite ministers from Paradise to
serve in the places of certain universe creatures.
2. The second stage of light and life. This epoch
is signalized on the worlds by the arrival of a Life Carrier who becomes
the volunteer adviser of the planetary rulers regarding the further
efforts to purify and stabilize the mortal race. Thus do the Life
Carriers actively participate in the further evolution of the human
race--physically, socially, and economically. And then they extend their
supervision to the further purification of the mortal stock by the
drastic elimination of the retarded and persisting remnants of inferior
potential of an intellectual, philosophic, cosmic, and spiritual nature.
Those who design and plant life on an inhabited world are fully
competent to advise the Material Sons and Daughters, who have full and
unquestioned authority to purge the evolving race of all detrimental
influences.
From the second stage on throughout the career of a
settled planet the Teacher Sons serve as counselors to the finaliters.
During such missions they serve as volunteers and not by assignment; and
they serve exclusively with the finaliter corps except that, upon the
consent of the System Sovereign, they may be had as advisers to the
Planetary Adam and Eve.
3. The third stage of light and life. During this
epoch the inhabited worlds arrive at a new appreciation of the Ancients
of Days, the second phase of God the Sevenfold, and the representatives
of these superuniverse rulers enter into new relationships with the
planetary administration.
In each succeeding age of settled existence the
finaliters function in ever-increasing capacities. There exists a close
working connection between the finaliters, the Evening Stars (the
superangels), and the Trinity Teacher Sons.
During this or the following age a Teacher Son, assisted
by the ministering-spirit quartette, becomes attached to the elective
mortal chief executive, who now becomes associated with the Planetary
Sovereign as joint administrator of world affairs. These mortal chief
executives serve for twenty-five years of planetary time, and it is this
new development that makes it easy for the Planetary Adam and Eve to
secure release from their world of long-time assignment during the
following ages.
The ministering-spirit quartettes consist of: the
seraphic chief of the sphere, the superuniverse secoraphic counselor,
the archangel of translations, and the omniaphim who functions as the
personal representative of the Assigned Sentinel stationed on the system
headquarters. But these advisers never proffer counsel unless it is
asked for.
4. The fourth stage of light and life. On the
worlds the Trinity Teacher Sons appear in new roles. Assisted by the
creature-trinitized sons so long associated with their order, they now
come to the worlds as volunteer counselors and advisers to the Planetary
Sovereign and his associates. Such couples--Paradise-Havona-trinitized
sons and ascender-trinitized sons--represent differing universe
viewpoints and diverse personal experiences which are highly serviceable
to the planetary rulers.
At any time after this age the Planetary Adam and Eve
can petition the Sovereign Creator Son for release from planetary duties
in order to begin their Paradise ascent; or they can remain on the
planet as directors of the newly appearing order of increasingly
spiritual society composed of advanced mortals striving to comprehend
the philosophic teachings of the finaliters portrayed by the Brilliant
Evening Stars, who are now assigned to these worlds to collaborate in
pairs with the seconaphim from the headquarters of the superuniverse.
The finaliters are chiefly engaged in initiating the new
and supermaterial activities of society--social, cultural, philosophic,
cosmic, and spiritual. As far as we can discern, they will continue this
ministry far into the seventh epoch of evolutionary stability, when,
possibly, they may go forth to minister in outer space; whereupon we
conjecture their places may be taken by absonite beings from Paradise.
5. The fifth stage of light and life. The
readjustments of this stage of settled existence pertain almost entirely
to the physical domains and are of primary concern to the Master
Physical Controllers.
6. The sixth stage of light and life witnesses
the development of new functions of the mind circuits of the realm.
Cosmic wisdom seems to become constitutive in the universe ministry of
mind.
7. The seventh stage of light and life. Early in
the seventh epoch the Trinity Teacher counselor of the Planetary
Sovereign is joined by a volunteer adviser sent by the Ancients of Days,
and later on they will be augmented by a third counselor coming from the
superuniverse Supreme Executive.
During this epoch, if not before, Adam and Eve are
always relieved of planetary duties. If there is a Material Son in the
finaliter corps, he may become associated with the mortal chief
executive, and sometimes it is a Melchizedek who volunteers to function
in this capacity. If a midwayer is among the finaliters, all of that
order remaining on the planet are immediately released.
Upon obtaining release from their agelong assignment, a
Planetary Adam and Eve may select careers as follows:
1. They can secure planetary release and from the
universe headquarters start out immediately on the Paradise career,
receiving Thought Adjusters at the conclusion of the morontia
experience.
2. Very often a Planetary Adam and Eve will receive
Adjusters while yet serving on a world settled in light concomitant with
the receiving of Adjusters by some of their imported pure-line children
who have volunteered for a term of planetary service. Subsequently they
may all go to universe headquarters and there begin the Paradise career.
3. A Planetary Adam and Eve may elect--as do Material
Sons and Daughters from the system capital--to go direct to the
midsonite world for a brief sojourn, there to receive their Adjusters.
4. They may decide to return to the system headquarters,
there for a time to occupy seats on the supreme court, after which
service they will receive Adjusters and begin the Paradise ascent.
5. They may choose to go from their administrative
duties back to their native world to serve as teachers for a season and
to become Adjuster indwelt at the time of transfer to the universe
headquarters.
Throughout all of these epochs the imported assisting
Material Sons and Daughters exert a tremendous influence on the
progressing social and economic orders. They are potentially immortal,
at least until such time as they elect to humanize, receive Adjusters,
and start for Paradise.
On the evolutionary worlds a being must humanize to
receive a Thought Adjuster. All ascendant members of the Mortal Corps of
Finaliters have been Adjuster indwelt and fused except seraphim, and
they are Father indwelt by another type of spirit at the time of being
mustered into this corps.
5. The Acme of Material
Development
|
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 these advanced epochs of evolution on a
sinless sphere.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
prespiritual 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 superuniverse 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."
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.
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 abandonters 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.
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.
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.
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.
We often ponder: If the grand universe should be settled
in light and life, would the ascending exquisite mortals still be
destined to the Corps of the Finality? But we do not know. |
