Introduction
|
||
|
||
THE cultural decadence and spiritual poverty resulting from the Caligastia
|
||
downfall and consequent social confusion had little effect on the physical or
|
||
biologic status of the Urantia peoples. Organic evolution proceeded apace,
|
||
quite regardless of the cultural and moral setback which so swiftly followed
|
||
the disaffection of Caligastia and Daligastia. And there came a time in the
|
||
planetary history, almost forty thousand years ago, when the Life Carriers on
|
||
duty took note that, from a purely biologic standpoint, the developmental
|
||
progress of the Urantia races was nearing its apex. The Melchizedek receivers,
|
||
concurring in this opinion, readily agreed to join the Life Carriers in a
|
||
petition to the Most Highs of Edentia asking that Urantia be inspected with a
|
||
view to authorizing the dispatch of biologic uplifters, a Material Son and
|
||
Daughter.
|
||
|
||
This request was addressed to the Most Highs of Edentia because they had
|
||
exercised direct jurisdiction over many of Urantia's affairs ever since
|
||
Caligastia's downfall and the temporary vacation of authority on Jerusem.
|
||
|
||
Tabamantia, sovereign supervisor of the series of decimal or experimental
|
||
worlds, came to inspect the planet and, after his survey of racial progress,
|
||
duly recommended that Urantia be granted Material Sons. In a little less than
|
||
one hundred years from the time of this inspection, Adam and Eve, a Material
|
||
Son and Daughter of the local system, arrived and began the difficult task of
|
||
attempting to untangle the confused affairs of a planet retarded by rebellion
|
||
and resting under the ban of spiritual isolation.
|
||
|
||
1. THE NODITES AND THE AMADONITES
|
||
|
||
On a normal planet the arrival of the Material Son would ordinarily herald the
|
||
approach of a great age of invention, material progress, and intellectual
|
||
enlightenment. The post-Adamic era is the great scientific age of most worlds,
|
||
but not so on Urantia. Though the planet was peopled by races physically fit,
|
||
the tribes languished in the depths of savagery and moral stagnation.
|
||
|
||
Ten thousand years after the rebellion practically all the gains of the
|
||
Prince's administration had been effaced; the races of the world were little
|
||
better off than if this misguided Son had never come to Urantia. Only among the
|
||
Nodites and the Amadonites was there persistence of the traditions of Dalamatia
|
||
and the culture of the Planetary Prince.
|
||
|
||
The Nodites were the descendants of the rebel members of the Prince's staff,
|
||
their name deriving from their first leader, Nod, onetime chairman of the
|
||
Dalamatia commission on industry and trade. The Amadonites were the descendants
|
||
of those Andonites who chose to remain loyal with Van and Amadon.
|
||
|
||
top of page - 822
|
||
|
||
"Amadonite" is more of a cultural and religious designation than a racial term;
|
||
racially considered the Amadonites were essentially Andonites. "Nodite" is both
|
||
a cultural and racial term, for the Nodites themselves constituted the eighth
|
||
race of Urantia.
|
||
|
||
There existed a traditional enmity between the Nodites and the Amadonites. This
|
||
feud was constantly coming to the surface whenever the offspring of these two
|
||
groups would try to engage in some common enterprise. Even later, in the
|
||
affairs of Eden, it was exceedingly difficult for them to work together in
|
||
peace.
|
||
|
||
Shortly after the destruction of Dalamatia the followers of Nod became divided
|
||
into three major groups. The central group remained in the immediate vicinity
|
||
of their original home near the headwaters of the Persian Gulf. The eastern
|
||
group migrated to the highland regions of Elam just east of the Euphrates
|
||
valley. The western group was situated on the northeastern Syrian shores of the
|
||
Mediterranean and in adjacent territory.
|
||
|
||
These Nodites had freely mated with the Sangik races and had left behind an
|
||
able progeny. And some of the descendants of the rebellious Dalamatians
|
||
subsequently joined Van and his loyal followers in the lands north of
|
||
Mesopotamia. Here, in the vicinity of Lake Van and the southern Caspian Sea
|
||
region, the Nodites mingled and mixed with the Amadonites, and they were
|
||
numbered among the "mighty men of old."
|
||
|
||
Prior to the arrival of Adam and Eve these groups--Nodites and Amadonites--were
|
||
the most advanced and cultured races on earth.
|
||
|
||
2. PLANNING FOR THE GARDEN
|
||
|
||
For almost one hundred years prior to Tabamantia's inspection, Van and his
|
||
associates, from their highland headquarters of world ethics and culture, had
|
||
been preaching the advent of a promised Son of God, a racial uplifter, a
|
||
teacher of truth, and the worthy successor of the traitorous Caligastia. Though
|
||
the majority of the world's inhabitants of those days exhibited little or no
|
||
interest in such a prediction, those who were in immediate contact with Van and
|
||
Amadon took such teaching seriously and began to plan for the actual reception
|
||
of the promised Son.
|
||
|
||
Van told his nearest associates the story of the Material Sons on Jerusem; what
|
||
he had known of them before ever he came to Urantia. He well knew that these
|
||
Adamic Sons always lived in simple but charming garden homes and proposed,
|
||
eighty-three years before the arrival of Adam and Eve, that they devote
|
||
themselves to the proclamation of their advent and to the preparation of a
|
||
garden home for their reception.
|
||
|
||
From their highland headquarters and from sixty-one far-scattered settlements,
|
||
Van and Amadon recruited a corps of over three thousand willing and
|
||
enthusiastic workers who, in solemn assembly, dedicated themselves to this
|
||
mission of preparing for the promised--at least expected--Son.
|
||
|
||
Van divided his volunteers into one hundred companies with a captain over each
|
||
and an associate who served on his personal staff as a liaison officer, keeping
|
||
Amadon as his own associate. These commissions all began in earnest their
|
||
preliminary work, and the committee on location for the Garden sallied forth in
|
||
search of the ideal spot.
|
||
|
||
Although Caligastia and Daligastia had been deprived of much of their power for
|
||
evil, they did everything possible to frustrate and hamper the work
|
||
|
||
top of page - 823
|
||
|
||
of preparing the Garden. But their evil machinations were largely offset by the
|
||
faithful activities of the almost ten thousand loyal midway creatures who so
|
||
tirelessly labored to advance the enterprise.
|
||
|
||
3. THE GARDEN SITE
|
||
|
||
The committee on location was absent for almost three years. It reported
|
||
favorably concerning three possible locations: The first was an island in the
|
||
Persian Gulf; the second, the river location subsequently occupied as the
|
||
second garden; the third, a long narrow peninsula--almost an island--projecting
|
||
westward from the eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea.
|
||
|
||
The committee almost unanimously favored the third selection. This site was
|
||
chosen, and two years were occupied in transferring the world's cultural
|
||
headquarters, including the tree of life, to this Mediterranean peninsula. All
|
||
but a single group of the peninsula dwellers peaceably vacated when Van and his
|
||
company arrived.
|
||
|
||
This Mediterranean peninsula had a salubrious climate and an equable
|
||
temperature; this stabilized weather was due to the encircling mountains and to
|
||
the fact that this area was virtually an island in an inland sea. While it
|
||
rained copiously on the surrounding highlands, it seldom rained in Eden proper.
|
||
But each night, from the extensive network of artificial irrigation channels, a
|
||
"mist would go up" to refresh the vegetation of the Garden.
|
||
|
||
The coast line of this land mass was considerably elevated, and the neck
|
||
connecting with the mainland was only twenty-seven miles wide at the narrowest
|
||
point. The great river that watered the Garden came down from the higher lands
|
||
of the peninsula and flowed east through the peninsular neck to the mainland
|
||
and thence across the lowlands of Mesopotamia to the sea beyond. It was fed by
|
||
four tributaries which took origin in the coastal hills of the Edenic
|
||
peninsula, and these are the "four heads" of the river which "went out of
|
||
Eden," and which later became confused with the branches of the rivers
|
||
surrounding the second garden.
|
||
|
||
The mountains surrounding the Garden abounded in precious stones and metals,
|
||
though these received very little attention. The dominant idea was to be the
|
||
glorification of horticulture and the exaltation of agriculture.
|
||
|
||
The site chosen for the Garden was probably the most beautiful spot of its kind
|
||
in all the world, and the climate was then ideal. Nowhere else was there a
|
||
location which could have lent itself so perfectly to becoming such a paradise
|
||
of botanic expression. In this rendezvous the cream of the civilization of
|
||
Urantia was forgathering. Without and beyond, the world lay in darkness,
|
||
ignorance, and savagery. Eden was the one bright spot on Urantia; it was
|
||
naturally a dream of loveliness, and it soon became a poem of exquisite and
|
||
perfected landscape glory.
|
||
|
||
4. ESTABLISHING THE GARDEN
|
||
|
||
When Material Sons, the biologic uplifters, begin their sojourn on an
|
||
evolutionary world, their place of abode is often called the Garden of Eden
|
||
because it is characterized by the floral beauty and the botanic grandeur of
|
||
Edentia, the constellation capital. Van well knew of these customs and
|
||
accordingly provided that the entire peninsula be given over to the Garden.
|
||
Pasturage and animal husbandry were projected for the adjoining mainland. Of
|
||
animal life, only the
|
||
|
||
top of page - 824
|
||
|
||
birds and the various domesticated species were to be found in the park. Van's
|
||
instructions were that Eden was to be a garden, and only a garden. No animals
|
||
were ever slaughtered within its precincts. All flesh eaten by the Garden
|
||
workers throughout all the years of construction was brought in from the herds
|
||
maintained under guard on the mainland.
|
||
|
||
The first task was the building of the brick wall across the neck of the
|
||
peninsula. This once completed, the real work of landscape beautification and
|
||
home building could proceed unhindered.
|
||
|
||
A zoological garden was created by building a smaller wall just outside the
|
||
main wall; the intervening space, occupied by all manner of wild beasts, served
|
||
as an additional defense against hostile attacks. This menagerie was organized
|
||
in twelve grand divisions, and walled paths led between these groups to the
|
||
twelve gates of the Garden, the river and its adjacent pastures occupying the
|
||
central area.
|
||
|
||
In the preparation of the Garden only volunteer laborers were employed; no
|
||
hirelings were ever used. They cultivated the Garden and tended their herds for
|
||
support; contributions of food were also received from near-by believers. And
|
||
this great enterprise was carried through to completion in spite of the
|
||
difficulties attendant upon the confused status of the world during these
|
||
troublous times.
|
||
|
||
But it was a cause for great disappointment when Van, not knowing how soon the
|
||
expected Son and Daughter might come, suggested that the younger generation
|
||
also be trained in the work of carrying on the enterprise in case their arrival
|
||
should be delayed. This seemed like an admission of lack of faith on Van's part
|
||
and made considerable trouble, caused many desertions; but Van went forward
|
||
with his plan of preparedness, meantime filling the places of the deserters
|
||
with younger volunteers.
|
||
|
||
5. THE GARDEN HOME
|
||
|
||
At the center of the Edenic peninsula was the exquisite stone temple of the
|
||
Universal Father, the sacred shrine of the Garden. To the north the
|
||
administrative headquarters was established; to the south were built the homes
|
||
for the workers and their families; to the west was provided the allotment of
|
||
ground for the proposed schools of the educational system of the expected Son,
|
||
while in the "east of Eden" were built the domiciles intended for the promised
|
||
Son and his immediate offspring. The architectural plans for Eden provided
|
||
homes and abundant land for one million human beings.
|
||
|
||
At the time of Adam's arrival, though the Garden was only one-fourth finished,
|
||
it had thousands of miles of irrigation ditches and more than twelve thousand
|
||
miles of paved paths and roads. There were a trifle over five thousand brick
|
||
buildings in the various sectors, and the trees and plants were almost beyond
|
||
number. Seven was the largest number of houses composing any one cluster in the
|
||
park. And though the structures of the Garden were simple, they were most
|
||
artistic. The roads and paths were well built, and the landscaping was
|
||
exquisite.
|
||
|
||
The sanitary arrangements of the Garden were far in advance of anything that
|
||
had been attempted theretofore on Urantia. The drinking water of Eden was kept
|
||
wholesome by the strict observance of the sanitary regulations designed to
|
||
conserve its purity. During these early times much trouble came about from
|
||
|
||
top of page - 825
|
||
|
||
neglect of these rules, but Van gradually impressed upon his associates the
|
||
importance of allowing nothing to fall into the water supply of the Garden.
|
||
|
||
Before the later establishment of a sewage-disposal system the Edenites
|
||
practiced the scrupulous burial of all waste or decomposing material. Amadon's
|
||
inspectors made their rounds each day in search for possible causes of
|
||
sickness. Urantians did not again awaken to the importance of the prevention of
|
||
human diseases until the later times of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
|
||
Before the disruption of the Adamic regime a covered brick-conduit disposal
|
||
system had been constructed which ran beneath the walls and emptied into the
|
||
river of Eden almost a mile beyond the outer or lesser wall of the Garden.
|
||
|
||
By the time of Adam's arrival most of the plants of that section of the world
|
||
were growing in Eden. Already had many of the fruits, cereals, and nuts been
|
||
greatly improved. Many modern vegetables and cereals were first cultivated
|
||
here, but scores of varieties of food plants were subsequently lost to the
|
||
world.
|
||
|
||
About five per cent of the Garden was under high artificial cultivation,
|
||
fifteen per cent partially cultivated, the remainder being left in a more or
|
||
less natural state pending the arrival of Adam, it being thought best to finish
|
||
the park in accordance with his ideas.
|
||
|
||
And so was the Garden of Eden made ready for the reception of the promised Adam
|
||
and his consort. And this Garden would have done honor to a world under
|
||
perfected administration and normal control. Adam and Eve were well pleased
|
||
with the general plan of Eden, though they made many changes in the furnishings
|
||
of their own personal dwelling.
|
||
|
||
Although the work of embellishment was hardly finished at the time of Adam's
|
||
arrival, the place was already a gem of botanic beauty; and during the early
|
||
days of his sojourn in Eden the whole Garden took on new form and assumed new
|
||
proportions of beauty and grandeur. Never before this time nor after has
|
||
Urantia harbored such a beautiful and replete exhibition of horticulture and
|
||
agriculture.
|
||
|
||
6. THE TREE OF LIFE
|
||
|
||
In the center of the Garden temple Van planted the long-guarded tree of life,
|
||
whose leaves were for the "healing of the nations," and whose fruit had so long
|
||
sustained him on earth. Van well knew that Adam and Eve would also be dependent
|
||
on this gift of Edentia for their life maintenance after they once appeared on
|
||
Urantia in material form.
|
||
|
||
The Material Sons on the system capitals do not require the tree of life for
|
||
sustenance. Only in the planetary repersonalization are they dependent on this
|
||
adjunct to physical immortality.
|
||
|
||
The "tree of the knowledge of good and evil" may be a figure of speech, a
|
||
symbolic designation covering a multitude of human experiences, but the "tree
|
||
of life" was not a myth; it was real and for a long time was present on
|
||
Urantia. When the Most Highs of Edentia approved the commission of Caligastia
|
||
as Planetary Prince of Urantia and those of the one hundred Jerusem citizens as
|
||
his administrative staff, they sent to the planet, by the Melchizedeks, a shrub
|
||
of Edentia, and this plant grew to be the tree of life on Urantia. This form of
|
||
nonintelligent life is native to the constellation headquarters spheres, being
|
||
also found on the headquarters worlds of the local and superuniverses as well
|
||
as on the Havona spheres, but not on the system capitals.
|
||
|
||
top of page - 826
|
||
|
||
This superplant stored up certain space-energies which were antidotal to the
|
||
age-producing elements of animal existence. The fruit of the tree of life was
|
||
like a superchemical storage battery, mysteriously releasing the life-extension
|
||
force of the universe when eaten. This form of sustenance was wholly useless to
|
||
the ordinary evolutionary beings on Urantia, but specifically it was
|
||
serviceable to the one hundred materialized members of Caligastia's staff and
|
||
to the one hundred modified Andonites who had contributed of their life plasm
|
||
to the Prince's staff, and who, in return, were made possessors of that
|
||
complement of life which made it possible for them to utilize the fruit of the
|
||
tree of life for an indefinite extension of their otherwise mortal existence.
|
||
|
||
During the days of the Prince's rule the tree was growing from the earth in the
|
||
central and circular courtyard of the Father's temple. Upon the outbreak of the
|
||
rebellion it was regrown from the central core by Van and his associates in
|
||
their temporary camp. This Edentia shrub was subsequently taken to their
|
||
highland retreat, where it served both Van and Amadon for more than one hundred
|
||
and fifty thousand years.
|
||
|
||
When Van and his associates made ready the Garden for Adam and Eve, they
|
||
transplanted the Edentia tree to the Garden of Eden, where, once again, it grew
|
||
in a central, circular courtyard of another temple to the Father. And Adam and
|
||
Eve periodically partook of its fruit for the maintenance of their dual form of
|
||
physical life.
|
||
|
||
When the plans of the Material Son went astray, Adam and his family were not
|
||
permitted to carry the core of the tree away from the Garden. When the Nodites
|
||
invaded Eden, they were told that they would become as "gods if they partook of
|
||
the fruit of the tree." Much to their surprise they found it unguarded. They
|
||
ate freely of the fruit for years, but it did nothing for them; they were all
|
||
material mortals of the realm; they lacked that endowment which acted as a
|
||
complement to the fruit of the tree. They became enraged at their inability to
|
||
benefit from the tree of life, and in connection with one of their internal
|
||
wars, the temple and the tree were both destroyed by fire; only the stone wall
|
||
stood until the Garden was subsequently submerged. This was the second temple
|
||
of the Father to perish.
|
||
|
||
And now must all flesh on Urantia take the natural course of life and death.
|
||
Adam, Eve, their children, and their children's children, together with their
|
||
associates, all perished in the course of time, thus becoming subject to the
|
||
ascension scheme of the local universe wherein mansion world resurrection
|
||
follows material death.
|
||
|
||
7. THE FATE OF EDEN
|
||
|
||
After the first garden was vacated by Adam, it was occupied variously by the
|
||
Nodites, Cutites, and the Suntites. It later became the dwelling place of the
|
||
northern Nodites who opposed co-operation with the Adamites. The peninsula had
|
||
been overrun by these lower-grade Nodites for almost four thousand years after
|
||
Adam left the Garden when, in connection with the violent activity of the
|
||
surrounding volcanoes and the submergence of the Sicilian land bridge to
|
||
Africa, the eastern floor of the Mediterranean Sea sank, carrying down beneath
|
||
the waters the whole of the Edenic peninsula. Concomitant with this vast
|
||
submergence the coast line of the eastern Mediterranean was greatly elevated.
|
||
And this
|
||
|
||
top of page - 827
|
||
|
||
was the end of the most beautiful natural creation that Urantia has ever
|
||
harbored. The sinking was not sudden, several hundred years being required
|
||
completely to submerge the entire peninsula.
|
||
|
||
We cannot regard this disappearance of the Garden as being in any way a result
|
||
of the miscarriage of the divine plans or as a result of the mistakes of Adam
|
||
and Eve. We do not regard the submergence of Eden as anything but a natural
|
||
occurrence, but it does seem to us that the sinking of the Garden was timed to
|
||
occur at just about the date of the accumulation of the reserves of the violet
|
||
race for undertaking the work of rehabilitating the world peoples.
|
||
|
||
The Melchizedeks counseled Adam not to initiate the program of racial uplift
|
||
and blending until his own family had numbered one-half million. It was never
|
||
intended that the Garden should be the permanent home of the Adamites. They
|
||
were to become emissaries of a new life to all the world; they were to mobilize
|
||
for unselfish bestowal upon the needy races of earth.
|
||
|
||
The instructions given Adam by the Melchizedeks implied that he was to
|
||
establish racial, continental, and divisional headquarters to be in charge of
|
||
his immediate sons and daughters, while he and Eve were to divide their time
|
||
among these various world capitals as advisers and co-ordinators of the
|
||
world-wide ministry of biologic uplift, intellectual advancement, and moral
|
||
rehabilitation.
