The Planetary Adams

51:7.1From time to time the Avo­nal Sons of Par­a­dise come to the in­hab­ited worlds for ju­di­cial ac­tions, but the first Avo­nal to ar­rive on a mag­is­te­rial mis­sion in­au­gu­rates the fourth dis­pen­sa­tion of an evo­lu­tion­ary world of time and space. On some plan­ets where this Mag­is­te­rial Son is uni­ver­sally ac­cepted, he re­mains for one age; and thus the planet pros­pers un­der the joint ruler­ship of three Sons: the Plan­e­tary Prince, the Ma­te­rial Son, and the Mag­is­te­rial Son, the lat­ter two be­ing vis­i­ble to all the in­hab­i­tants of the realm.

51:7.2Be­fore the first Mag­is­te­rial Son con­cludes his mis­sion on a nor­mal evo­lu­tion­ary world, there has been ef­fected the union of the ed­u­ca­tional and ad­min­is­tra­tive work of the Plan­e­tary Prince and the Ma­te­rial Son. This amal­ga­ma­tion of the dual super­vi­sion of a planet brings into ex­is­tence a new and ef­fec­tive or­der of world ad­min­is­tra­tion. Upon the re­tire­ment of the Mag­is­te­rial Son the Plan­e­tary Adam as­sumes the out­ward di­rec­tion of the sphere. The Ma­te­rial Son and Daugh­ter thus act jointly as plan­e­tary ad­min­is­tra­tors un­til the set­tling of the world in the era of light and life; where­upon the Plan­e­tary Prince is el­e­vated to the po­si­tion of Plan­e­tary Sov­er­eign. Dur­ing this age of ad­vanced evo­lu­tion, Adam and Eve be­come what might be called joint prime min­is­ters of the glo­ri­fied realm.

51:7.3As soon as the new and con­sol­i­dated cap­i­tal of the evolv­ing world has be­come well es­tab­lished, and just as fast as com­pe­tent sub­or­di­nate ad­min­is­tra­tors can be prop­erly trained, sub­cap­i­tals are founded on re­mote land bod­ies and among the dif­fer­ent peo­ples. Be­fore the ar­rival of an­other dis­pen­sa­tional Son, from fifty to one hun­dred of these sub­cen­ters will have been or­ga­nized.

51:7.4The Plan­e­tary Prince and his staff still fos­ter the spir­i­tual and philo­sophic do­mains of ac­tiv­ity. Adam and Eve pay par­tic­u­lar at­ten­tion to the phys­i­cal, sci­en­tific, and eco­nomic sta­tus of the realm. Both groups equally de­vote their en­er­gies to the pro­mo­tion of the arts, so­cial re­la­tions, and in­tel­lec­tual achieve­ments.

51:7.5By the time of the in­au­gu­ra­tion of the fifth dis­pen­sa­tion of world af­fairs, a mag­nif­i­cent ad­min­is­tra­tion of plan­e­tary ac­tiv­i­ties has been achieved. Mor­tal ex­is­tence on such a well-man­aged sphere is in­deed stim­u­lat­ing and prof­itable. And if Uran­tians could only ob­serve life on such a planet, they would im­me­di­ately ap­pre­ci­ate the value of those things which their world has lost through em­brac­ing evil and par­tic­i­pat­ing in re­bel­lion.
