The Spheres of Light and Life

55:0.1The age of light and life is the fi­nal evo­lu­tion­ary at­tain­ment of a world of time and space. From the early times of prim­i­tive man, such an in­hab­ited world has passed through the suc­ces­sive plan­e­tary ages—the pre- and the post-Plan­e­tary Prince ages, the post-Adamic age, the post-Mag­is­te­rial Son age, and the postbestowal Son age. And then is such a world made ready for the cul­mi­nat­ing evo­lu­tion­ary at­tain­ment, the set­tled sta­tus of light and life, by the min­istry of the suc­ces­sive plan­e­tary mis­sions of the Trin­ity Teacher Sons with their ever-ad­vanc­ing rev­e­la­tions of di­vine truth and cos­mic wis­dom. In these en­deav­ors the Teacher Sons en­joy the as­sis­tance of the Bril­liant Evening Stars al­ways, and the Mel­chiz­e­deks some­times, in es­tab­lish­ing the fi­nal plan­e­tary age.

55:0.2This era of light and life, in­au­gu­rated by the Teacher Sons at the con­clu­sion of their fi­nal plan­e­tary mis­sion, con­tin­ues in­def­i­nitely on the in­hab­ited worlds. Each ad­vanc­ing stage of set­tled sta­tus may be seg­re­gated by the ju­di­cial ac­tions of the Mag­is­te­rial Sons into a suc­ces­sion of dis­pen­sa­tions; but all such ju­di­cial ac­tions are purely tech­ni­cal, in no way mod­i­fy­ing the course of plan­e­tary events.

55:0.3Only those plan­ets which at­tain ex­is­tence in the main cir­cuits of the super­uni­verse are as­sured of con­tin­u­ous sur­vival, but as far as we know, these worlds set­tled in light and life are des­tined to go on through­out the eter­nal ages of all fu­ture time.

55:0.4There are seven stages in the un­fold­ment of the era of light and life on an evo­lu­tion­ary world, and in this con­nec­tion it should be noted that the worlds of the Spirit-fused mor­tals evolve along lines iden­ti­cal with those of the Ad­juster-fu­sion se­ries. These seven stages of light and life are:

55:0.51. The first or plan­e­tary stage.

55:0.62. The sec­ond or sys­tem stage.

55:0.73. The third or con­stel­la­tion stage.

55:0.84. The fourth or lo­cal uni­verse stage.

55:0.95. The fifth or mi­nor sec­tor stage.

55:0.106. The sixth or ma­jor sec­tor stage.

55:0.117. The sev­enth or super­uni­verse stage.

55:0.12At the con­clu­sion of this nar­ra­tive these stages of ad­vanc­ing de­vel­op­ment are de­scribed as they re­late to the uni­verse or­ga­ni­za­tion, but the plan­e­tary val­ues of any stage may be at­tained by any world quite in­de­pen­dent of the de­vel­op­ment of other worlds or of the super­plan­e­tary lev­els of uni­verse ad­min­is­tra­tion.
