The Planetary Prince of Urantia

66:2.1The Plan­e­tary Prince of Uran­tia was not sent out on his mis­sion alone but was ac­com­pa­nied by the usual corps of as­sis­tants and ad­min­is­tra­tive helpers.

66:2.2At the head of this group was Dali­gas­tia, the as­so­ciate-as­sis­tant of the Plan­e­tary Prince. Dali­gas­tia was also a sec­ondary La­non­an­dek Son, be­ing num­ber 319,407 of that or­der. He ranked as an as­sis­tant at the time of his as­sign­ment as Cali­gas­tia’s as­so­ciate.

66:2.3The plan­e­tary staff in­cluded a large num­ber of an­gelic co-op­er­a­tors and a host of other ce­les­tial be­ings as­signed to ad­vance the in­ter­ests and pro­mote the wel­fare of the hu­man races. But from your stand­point the most in­ter­est­ing group of all were the cor­po­real mem­bers of the Prince’s staff—some­times re­ferred to as the Cali­gas­tia one hun­dred.

66:2.4These one hun­dred re­ma­te­ri­al­ized mem­bers of the Prince’s staff were cho­sen by Cali­gas­tia from over 785,000 as­cen­dant cit­i­zens of Je­ru­sem who vol­un­teered for em­barka­tion on the Uran­tia ad­ven­ture. Each one of the cho­sen one hun­dred was from a dif­fer­ent planet, and none of them were from Uran­tia.

66:2.5These Jerusemite vol­un­teers were brought by se­raphic trans­port di­rect from the sys­tem cap­i­tal to Uran­tia, and upon ar­rival they were held en­ser­a­phimed un­til they could be pro­vided with per­son­al­ity forms of the dual na­ture of spe­cial plan­e­tary ser­vice, lit­eral bod­ies con­sist­ing of flesh and blood but also at­tuned to the life cir­cuits of the sys­tem.

66:2.6Some­time be­fore the ar­rival of these one hun­dred Je­ru­sem cit­i­zens, the two super­vis­ing Life Car­ri­ers res­i­dent on Uran­tia, hav­ing pre­vi­ously per­fected their plans, pe­ti­tioned Je­ru­sem and Eden­tia for per­mis­sion to trans­plant the life plasm of one hun­dred se­lected sur­vivors of the An­don and Fonta stock into the ma­te­rial bod­ies to be pro­jected for the cor­po­real mem­bers of the Prince’s staff. The re­quest was granted on Je­ru­sem and ap­proved on Eden­tia.

66:2.7Ac­cord­ingly, fifty males and fifty fe­males of the An­don and Fonta pos­ter­ity, rep­re­sent­ing the sur­vival of the best strains of that unique race, were cho­sen by the Life Car­ri­ers. With one or two ex­cep­tions these An­don­ite con­trib­u­tors to the ad­vance­ment of the race were strangers to one an­other. They were as­sem­bled from widely sep­a­rated places by co-or­di­nated Thought Ad­juster di­rec­tion and se­raphic guid­ance at the thresh­old of the plan­e­tary head­quar­ters of the Prince. Here the one hun­dred hu­man sub­jects were given into the hands of the highly skilled vol­un­teer com­mis­sion from Avalon, who di­rected the ma­te­rial ex­trac­tion of a por­tion of the life plasm of these An­don de­scen­dants. This liv­ing ma­te­rial was then trans­ferred to the ma­te­rial bod­ies con­structed for the use of the one hun­dred Jerusemite mem­bers of the Prince’s staff. Mean­time, these newly ar­rived cit­i­zens of the sys­tem cap­i­tal were held in the sleep of se­raphic trans­port.

66:2.8These trans­ac­tions, to­gether with the lit­eral cre­ation of spe­cial bod­ies for the Cali­gas­tia one hun­dred, gave ori­gin to nu­mer­ous leg­ends, many of which sub­se­quently be­came con­fused with the later tra­di­tions con­cern­ing the plan­e­tary in­stal­la­tion of Adam and Eve.

66:2.9The en­tire trans­ac­tion of reper­son­al­iza­tion, from the time of the ar­rival of the se­raphic trans­ports bear­ing the one hun­dred Je­ru­sem vol­un­teers un­til they be­came con­scious, three­fold be­ings of the realm, con­sumed ex­actly ten days.
