Introduction
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
URANTIA was registered as an inhabited world when the first two human
|
|||
|
beings--the twins--were eleven years old, and before they had become the
|
|||
|
parents of the first-born of the second generation of actual human beings. And
|
|||
|
the archangel message from Salvington, on this occasion of formal planetary
|
|||
|
recognition, closed with these words:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Man-mind has appeared on 606 of Satania, and these parents of the new race
|
|||
|
shall be called Andon and Fonta. And all archangels pray that these creatures
|
|||
|
may speedily be endowed with the personal indwelling of the gift of the spirit
|
|||
|
of the Universal Father."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Andon is the Nebadon name which signifies "the first Fatherlike creature to
|
|||
|
exhibit human perfection hunger." Fonta signifies "the first Sonlike creature
|
|||
|
to exhibit human perfection hunger." Andon and Fonta never knew these names
|
|||
|
until they were bestowed upon them at the time of fusion with their Thought
|
|||
|
Adjusters. Throughout their mortal sojourn on Urantia they called each other
|
|||
|
Sonta-an and Sonta-en, Sonta-an meaning "loved by mother," Sonta-en signifying
|
|||
|
"loved by father." They gave themselves these names, and the meanings are
|
|||
|
significant of their mutual regard and affection.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
1. ANDON AND FONTA
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
In many respects, Andon and Fonta were the most remarkable pair of human beings
|
|||
|
that have ever lived on the face of the earth. This wonderful pair, the actual
|
|||
|
parents of all mankind, were in every way superior to many of their immediate
|
|||
|
descendants, and they were radically different from all of their ancestors,
|
|||
|
both immediate and remote.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The parents of this first human couple were apparently little different from
|
|||
|
the average of their tribe, though they were among its more intelligent
|
|||
|
members, that group which first learned to throw stones and to use clubs in
|
|||
|
fighting. They also made use of sharp spicules of stone, flint, and bone.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
While still living with his parents, Andon had fastened a sharp piece of flint
|
|||
|
on the end of a club, using animal tendons for this purpose, and on no less
|
|||
|
than a dozen occasions he made good use of such a weapon in saving both his own
|
|||
|
life and that of his equally adventurous and inquisitive sister, who
|
|||
|
unfailingly accompanied him on all of his tours of exploration.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The decision of Andon and Fonta to flee from the Primates tribes implies a
|
|||
|
quality of mind far above the baser intelligence which characterized so many of
|
|||
|
their later descendants who stooped to mate with their retarded cousins of the
|
|||
|
simian tribes. But their vague feeling of being something more than mere
|
|||
|
animals was due to the possession of personality and was augmented by the
|
|||
|
indwelling presence of the Thought Adjusters.

2. THE FLIGHT OF THE TWINS
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
After Andon and Fonta had decided to flee northward, they succumbed to their
|
|||
|
fears for a time, especially the fear of displeasing their father and immediate
|
|||
|
family. They envisaged being set upon by hostile relatives and thus recognized
|
|||
|
the possibility of meeting death at the hands of their already jealous
|
|||
|
tribesmen. As youngsters, the twins had spent most of their time in each
|
|||
|
other's company and for this reason had never been overly popular with their
|
|||
|
animal cousins of the Primates tribe. Nor had they improved their standing in
|
|||
|
the tribe by building a separate, and a very superior, tree home.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
And it was in this new home among the treetops, one night after they had been
|
|||
|
awakened by a violent storm, and as they held each other in fearful and fond
|
|||
|
embrace, that they finally and fully made up their minds to flee from the
|
|||
|
tribal habitat and the home treetops.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
They had already prepared a crude treetop retreat some half-day's journey to
|
|||
|
the north. This was their secret and safe hiding place for the first day away
|
|||
|
from the home forests. Notwithstanding that the twins shared the Primates'
|
|||
|
deathly fear of being on the ground at nighttime, they sallied forth shortly
|
|||
|
before nightfall on their northern trek. While it required unusual courage for
|
|||
|
them to undertake this night journey, even with a full moon, they correctly
|
|||
|
concluded that they were less likely to be missed and pursued by their
|
|||
|
tribesmen and relatives. And they safely made their previously prepared
|
|||
|
rendezvous shortly after midnight.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
On their northward journey they discovered an exposed flint deposit and,
|
|||
|
finding many stones suitably shaped for various uses, gathered up a supply for
|
|||
|
the future. In attempting to chip these flints so that they would be better
|
|||
|
adapted for certain purposes, Andon discovered their sparking quality and
|
|||
|
conceived the idea of building fire. But the notion did not take firm hold of
|
|||
|
him at the time as the climate was still salubrious and there was little need
|
|||
|
of fire.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
But the autumn sun was getting lower in the sky, and as they journeyed
|
|||
|
northward, the nights grew cooler and cooler. Already they had been forced to
|
|||
|
make use of animal skins for warmth. Before they had been away from home one
|
|||
|
moon, Andon signified to his mate that he thought he could make fire with the
|
|||
|
flint. They tried for two months to utilize the flint spark for kindling a fire
|
|||
|
but only met with failure. Each day this couple would strike the flints and
|
|||
|
endeavor to ignite the wood. Finally, one evening about the time of the setting
|
|||
|
of the sun, the secret of the technique was unraveled when it occurred to Fonta
|
|||
|
to climb a near-by tree to secure an abandoned bird's nest. The nest was dry
|
|||
|
and highly inflammable and consequently flared right up into a full blaze the
|
|||
|
moment the spark fell upon it. They were so surprised and startled at their
|
|||
|
success that they almost lost the fire, but they saved it by the addition of
|
|||
|
suitable fuel, and then began the first search for firewood by the parents of
|
|||
|
all mankind.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
This was one of the most joyous moments in their short but eventful lives. All
|
|||
|
night long they sat up watching their fire burn, vaguely realizing that they
|
|||
|
had made a discovery which would make it possible for them to defy climate and
|
|||
|
thus forever to be independent of their animal relatives of the southern lands.
|
|||
|
After three days' rest and enjoyment of the fire, they journeyed on.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Primates ancestors of Andon had often replenished fire which had been
|
|||
|
kindled by lightning, but never before had the creatures of earth possessed
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
top of page - 713
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
a method of starting fire at will. But it was a long time before the twins
|
|||
|
learned that dry moss and other materials would kindle fire just as well as
|
|||
|
birds' nests.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
3. ANDON'S FAMILY
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
It was almost two years from the night of the twins' departure from home before
|
|||
|
their first child was born. They named him Sontad; and Sontad was the first
|
|||
|
creature to be born on Urantia who was wrapped in protective coverings at the
|
|||
|
time of birth. The human race had begun, and with this new evolution there
|
|||
|
appeared the instinct properly to care for the increasingly enfeebled infants
|
|||
|
which would characterize the progressive development of mind of the
|
|||
|
intellectual order as contrasted with the more purely animal type.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Andon and Fonta had nineteen children in all, and they lived to enjoy the
|
|||
|
association of almost half a hundred grandchildren and half a dozen
|
|||
|
great-grandchildren. The family was domiciled in four adjoining rock shelters,
|
|||
|
or semicaves, three of which were interconnected by hallways which had been
|
|||
|
excavated in the soft limestone with flint tools devised by Andon's children.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
These early Andonites evinced a very marked clannish spirit; they hunted in
|
|||
|
groups and never strayed very far from the homesite. They seemed to realize
|
|||
|
that they were an isolated and unique group of living beings and should
|
|||
|
therefore avoid becoming separated. This feeling of intimate kinship was
|
|||
|
undoubtedly due to the enhanced mind ministry of the adjutant spirits.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Andon and Fonta labored incessantly for the nurture and uplift of the clan.
|
|||
|
They lived to the age of forty-two, when both were killed at the time of an
|
|||
|
earthquake by the falling of an overhanging rock. Five of their children and
|
|||
|
eleven grandchildren perished with them, and almost a score of their
|
|||
|
descendants suffered serious injuries.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Upon the death of his parents, Sontad, despite a seriously injured foot,
|
|||
|
immediately assumed the leadership of the clan and was ably assisted by his
|
|||
|
wife, his eldest sister. Their first task was to roll up stones to effectively
|
|||
|
entomb their dead parents, brothers, sisters, and children. Undue significance
|
|||
|
should not attach to this act of burial. Their ideas of survival after death
|
|||
|
were very vague and indefinite, being largely derived from their fantastic and
|
|||
|
variegated dream life.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
This family of Andon and Fonta held together until the twentieth generation,
|
|||
|
when combined food competition and social friction brought about the beginning
|
|||
|
of dispersion.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
4. THE ANDONIC CLANS
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Primitive man--the Andonites--had black eyes and a swarthy complexion,
|
|||
|
something of a cross between yellow and red. Melanin is a coloring substance
|
|||
|
which is found in the skins of all human beings. It is the original Andonic
|
|||
|
skin pigment. In general appearance and skin color these early Andonites more
|
|||
|
nearly resembled the present-day Eskimo than any other type of living human
|
|||
|
beings. They were the first creatures to use the skins of animals as a
|
|||
|
protection against cold; they had little more hair on their bodies than
|
|||
|
present-day humans.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The tribal life of the animal ancestors of these early men had foreshadowed the
|
|||
|
beginnings of numerous social conventions, and with the expanding emotions
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
top of page - 714
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
and augmented brain powers of these beings, there was an immediate development
|
|||
|
in social organization and a new division of clan labor. They were exceedingly
|
|||
|
imitative, but the play instinct was only slightly developed, and the sense of
|
|||
|
humor was almost entirely absent. Primitive man smiled occasionally, but he
|
|||
|
never indulged in hearty laughter. Humor was the legacy of the later Adamic
|
|||
|
race. These early human beings were not so sensitive to pain nor so reactive to
|
|||
|
unpleasant situations as were many of the later evolving mortals. Childbirth
|
|||
|
was not a painful or distressing ordeal to Fonta and her immediate progeny.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
They were a wonderful tribe. The males would fight heroically for the safety of
|
|||
|
their mates and their offspring; the females were affectionately devoted to
|
|||
|
their children. But their patriotism was wholly limited to the immediate clan.
|
|||
|
They were very loyal to their families; they would die without question in
|
|||
|
defense of their children, but they were not able to grasp the idea of trying
|
|||
|
to make the world a better place for their grandchildren. Altruism was as yet
|
|||
|
unborn in the human heart, notwithstanding that all of the emotions essential
|
|||
|
to the birth of religion were already present in these Urantia aborigines.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
These early men possessed a touching affection for their comrades and certainly
|
|||
|
had a real, although crude, idea of friendship. It was a common sight in later
|
|||
|
times, during their constantly recurring battles with the inferior tribes, to
|
|||
|
see one of these primitive men valiantly fighting with one hand while he
|
|||
|
struggled on, trying to protect and save an injured fellow warrior. Many of the
|
|||
|
most noble and highly human traits of subsequent evolutionary development were
|
|||
|
touchingly foreshadowed in these primitive peoples.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The original Andonic clan maintained an unbroken line of leadership until the
|
|||
|
twenty-seventh generation, when, no male offspring appearing among Sontad's
|
|||
|
direct descendants, two rival would-be rulers of the clan fell to fighting for
|
|||
|
supremacy.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Before the extensive dispersion of the Andonic clans a well-developed language
|
|||
|
had evolved from their early efforts to intercommunicate. This language
|
|||
|
continued to grow, and almost daily additions were made to it because of the
|
|||
|
new inventions and adaptations to environment which were developed by these
|
|||
|
active, restless, and curious people. And this language became the word of
|
|||
|
Urantia, the tongue of the early human family, until the later appearance of
|
|||
|
the colored races.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
As time passed, the Andonic clans grew in number, and the contact of the
|
|||
|
expanding families developed friction and misunderstandings. Only two things
|
|||
|
came to occupy the minds of these peoples: hunting to obtain food and fighting
|
|||
|
to avenge themselves against some real or supposed injustice or insult at the
|
|||
|
hands of the neighboring tribes.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Family feuds increased, tribal wars broke out, and serious losses were
|
|||
|
sustained among the very best elements of the more able and advanced groups.
|
|||
|
Some of these losses were irreparable; some of the most valuable strains of
|
|||
|
ability and intelligence were forever lost to the world. This early race and
|
|||
|
its primitive civilization were threatened with extinction by this incessant
|
|||
|
warfare of the clans.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
It is impossible to induce such primitive beings long to live together in
|
|||
|
peace. Man is the descendant of fighting animals, and when closely associated,
|
|||
|
uncultured people irritate and offend each other. The Life Carriers know this
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
top of page - 715
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
tendency among evolutionary creatures and accordingly make provision for the
|
|||
|
eventual separation of developing human beings into at least three, and more
|
|||
|
often six, distinct and separate races.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
5. DISPERSION OF THE ANDONITES
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The early Andon races did not penetrate very far into Asia, and they did not at
|
|||
|
first enter Africa. The geography of those times pointed them north, and
|
|||
|
farther and farther north these people journeyed until they were hindered by
|
|||
|
the slowly advancing ice of the third glacier.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Before this extensive ice sheet reached France and the British Isles, the
|
|||
|
descendants of Andon and Fonta had pushed on westward over Europe and had
|
|||
|
established more than one thousand separate settlements along the great rivers
|
|||
|
leading to the then warm waters of the North Sea.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
These Andonic tribes were the early river dwellers of France; they lived along
|
|||
|
the river Somme for tens of thousands of years. The Somme is the one river
|
|||
|
unchanged by the glaciers, running down to the sea in those days much as it
|
|||
|
does today. And that explains why so much evidence of the Andonic descendants
|
|||
|
is found along the course of this river valley.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
These aborigines of Urantia were not tree dwellers, though in emergencies they
|
|||
|
still betook themselves to the treetops. They regularly dwelt under the shelter
|
|||
|
of overhanging cliffs along the rivers and in hillside grottoes which afforded
|
|||
|
a good view of the approaches and sheltered them from the elements. They could
|
|||
|
thus enjoy the comfort of their fires without being too much inconvenienced by
|
|||
|
the smoke. They were not really cave dwellers either, though in subsequent
|
|||
|
times the later ice sheets came farther south and drove their descendants to
|
|||
|
the caves. They preferred to camp near the edge of a forest and beside a
|
|||
|
stream.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
They very early became remarkably clever in disguising their partially
|
|||
|
sheltered abodes and showed great skill in constructing stone sleeping
|
|||
|
chambers, dome-shaped stone huts, into which they crawled at night. The
|
|||
|
entrance to such a hut was closed by rolling a stone in front of it, a large
|
|||
|
stone which had been placed inside for this purpose before the roof stones were
|
|||
|
finally put in place.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Andonites were fearless and successful hunters and, with the exception of
|
|||
|
wild berries and certain fruits of the trees, lived exclusively on flesh. As
|
|||
|
Andon had invented the stone ax, so his descendants early discovered and made
|
|||
|
effective use of the throwing stick and the harpoon. At last a tool-creating
|
|||
|
mind was functioning in conjunction with an implement-using hand, and these
|
|||
|
early humans became highly skillful in the fashioning of flint tools. They
|
|||
|
traveled far and wide in search of flint, much as present-day humans journey to
|
|||
|
the ends of the earth in quest of gold, platinum, and diamonds.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
And in many other ways these Andon tribes manifested a degree of intelligence
|
|||
|
which their retrogressing descendants did not attain in half a million years,
|
|||
|
though they did again and again rediscover various methods of kindling fire.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
6. ONAGAR--THE FIRST TRUTH TEACHER
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
As the Andonic dispersion extended, the cultural and spiritual status of the
|
|||
|
clans retrogressed for nearly ten thousand years until the days of Onagar, who
|
|||
|
assumed the leadership of these tribes, brought peace among them, and for the
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
top of page - 716
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
first time, led all of them in the worship of the "Breath Giver to men and
|
|||
|
animals."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Andon's philosophy had been most confused; he had barely escaped becoming a
|
|||
|
fire worshiper because of the great comfort derived from his accidental
|
|||
|
discovery of fire. Reason, however, directed him from his own discovery to the
|
|||
|
sun as a superior and more awe-inspiring source of heat and light, but it was
|
|||
|
too remote, and so he failed to become a sun worshiper.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Andonites early developed a fear of the elements--thunder, lightning, rain,
|
|||
|
snow, hail, and ice. But hunger was the constantly recurring urge of these
|
|||
|
early days, and since they largely subsisted on animals, they eventually
|
|||
|
evolved a form of animal worship. To Andon, the larger food animals were
|
|||
|
symbols of creative might and sustaining power. From time to time it became the
|
|||
|
custom to designate various of these larger animals as objects of worship.
|
|||
|
During the vogue of a particular animal, crude outlines of it would be drawn on
|
|||
|
the walls of the caves, and later on, as continued progress was made in the
|
|||
|
arts, such an animal god was engraved on various ornaments.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Very early the Andonic peoples formed the habit of refraining from eating the
|
|||
|
flesh of the animal of tribal veneration. Presently, in order more suitably to
|
|||
|
impress the minds of their youths, they evolved a ceremony of reverence which
|
|||
|
was carried out about the body of one of these venerated animals; and still
|
|||
|
later on, this primitive performance developed into the more elaborate
|
|||
|
sacrificial ceremonies of their descendants. And this is the origin of
|
|||
|
sacrifices as a part of worship. This idea was elaborated by Moses in the
|
|||
|
Hebrew ritual and was preserved, in principle, by the Apostle Paul as the
|
|||
|
doctrine of atonement for sin by "the shedding of blood."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
That food was the all-important thing in the lives of these primitive human
|
|||
|
beings is shown by the prayer taught these simple folks by Onagar, their great
|
|||
|
teacher. And this prayer was:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"O Breath of Life, give us this day our daily food, deliver us from the curse
|
|||
|
of the ice, save us from our forest enemies, and with mercy receive us into the
|
|||
|
Great Beyond."
|
|||
|
|

Onagar maintained headquarters on the northern shores of the ancient
|
|||
|
Mediterranean in the region of the present Caspian Sea at a settlement called
|
|||
|
Oban, the tarrying place on the westward turning of the travel trail leading up
|
|||
|
northward from the Mesopotamian southland. From Oban he sent out teachers to
|
|||
|
the remote settlements to spread his new doctrines of one Deity and his concept
|
|||
|
of the hereafter, which he called the Great Beyond. These emissaries of Onagar
|
|||
|
were the world's first missionaries; they were also the first human beings to
|
|||
|
cook meat, the first regularly to use fire in the preparation of food. They
|
|||
|
cooked flesh on the ends of sticks and also on hot stones; later on they
|
|||
|
roasted large pieces in the fire, but their descendants almost entirely
|
|||
|
reverted to the use of raw flesh.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Onagar was born 983,323 years ago (from A.D. 1934), and he lived to be
|
|||
|
sixty-nine years of age. The record of the achievements of this master mind and
|
|||
|
spiritual leader of the pre-Planetary Prince days is a thrilling recital of the
|
|||
|
organization of these primitive peoples into a real society. He instituted an
|
|||
|
efficient tribal government, the like of which was not attained by succeeding
|
|||
|
generations in many millenniums. Never again, until the arrival of the
|
|||
|
Planetary Prince, was there such a high spiritual civilization on earth. These
|
|||
|
simple people
|
|||

|||
|
|
|||
|
had a real though primitive religion, but it was subsequently lost to their
|
|||
|
deteriorating descendants.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Although both Andon and Fonta had received Thought Adjusters, as had many of
|
|||
|
their descendants, it was not until the days of Onagar that the Adjusters and
|
|||
|
guardian seraphim came in great numbers to Urantia. This was, indeed, the
|
|||
|
golden age of primitive man.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
7. THE SURVIVAL OF ANDON AND FONTA
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Andon and Fonta, the splendid founders of the human race, received recognition
|
|||
|
at the time of the adjudication of Urantia upon the arrival of the Planetary
|
|||
|
Prince, and in due time they emerged from the regime of the mansion worlds with
|
|||
|
citizenship status on Jerusem. Although they have never been permitted to
|
|||
|
return to Urantia, they are cognizant of the history of the race they founded.
|
|||
|
They grieved over the Caligastia betrayal, sorrowed because of the Adamic
|
|||
|
failure, but rejoiced exceedingly when announcement was received that Michael
|
|||
|
had selected their world as the theater for his final bestowal.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
On Jerusem both Andon and Fonta were fused with their Thought Adjusters, as
|
|||
|
also were several of their children, including Sontad, but the majority of even
|
|||
|
their immediate descendants only achieved Spirit fusion.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Andon and Fonta, shortly after their arrival on Jerusem, received permission
|
|||
|
from the System Sovereign to return to the first mansion world to serve with
|
|||
|
the morontia personalities who welcome the pilgrims of time from Urantia to the
|
|||
|
heavenly spheres. And they have been assigned indefinitely to this service.
|
|||
|
They sought to send greetings to Urantia in connection with these revelations,
|
|||
|
but this request was wisely denied them.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
And this is the recital of the most heroic and fascinating chapter in all the
|
|||
|
history of Urantia, the story of the evolution, life struggles, death, and
|
|||
|
eternal survival of the unique parents of all mankind.
