7. The Survival of Andon and Fonta

63:7.1An­don 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.

63:7.2On 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.

63:7.3An­don 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.

63:7.4And 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.
