67:3.7This seven years of wait­ing was a time of heart search­ing and soul dis­ci­pline. Such crises in the af­fairs of a uni­verse demon­strate the tremen­dous in­flu­ence of mind as a fac­tor in spir­i­tual choos­ing. Ed­u­ca­tion, train­ing, and ex­pe­ri­ence are fac­tors in most of the vi­tal de­ci­sions of all evo­lu­tion­ary moral crea­tures. But it is en­tirely pos­si­ble for the in­dwelling spirit to make di­rect con­tact with the de­ci­sion-de­ter­min­ing pow­ers of the hu­man per­son­al­ity so as to em­power the fully con­se­crated will of the crea­ture to per­form amaz­ing acts of loyal de­vo­tion to the will and the way of the Fa­ther in Par­a­dise. And this is just what oc­curred in the ex­pe­ri­ence of Amadon, the mod­i­fied hu­man as­so­ciate of Van.

67:3.8Amadon is the out­stand­ing hu­man hero of the Lu­cifer re­bel­lion. This male de­scen­dant of An­don and Fonta was one of the one hun­dred who con­tributed life plasm to the Prince’s staff, and ever since that event he had been at­tached to Van as his as­so­ciate and hu­man as­sis­tant. Amadon elected to stand with his chief through­out the long and try­ing strug­gle. And it was an in­spir­ing sight to be­hold this child of the evo­lu­tion­ary races stand­ing un­moved by the soph­ist­ries of Dali­gas­tia while through­out the seven-year strug­gle he and his loyal as­so­ciates re­sisted with un­yield­ing for­ti­tude all of the de­cep­tive teach­ings of the bril­liant Cali­gas­tia.

67:3.9Cali­gas­tia, with a max­i­mum of in­tel­li­gence and a vast ex­pe­ri­ence in uni­verse af­fairs, went astray—em­braced sin. Amadon, with a min­i­mum of in­tel­li­gence and ut­terly de­void of uni­verse ex­pe­ri­ence, re­mained stead­fast in the ser­vice of the uni­verse and in loy­alty to his as­so­ciate. Van uti­lized both mind and spirit in a mag­nif­i­cent and ef­fec­tive com­bi­na­tion of in­tel­lec­tual de­ter­mi­na­tion and spir­i­tual in­sight, thereby achiev­ing an ex­pe­ri­en­tial level of per­son­al­ity re­al­iza­tion of the high­est at­tain­able or­der. Mind and spirit, when fully united, are po­ten­tial for the cre­ation of super­hu­man val­ues, even mor­ontia re­al­i­ties.

67:6.4Van was left on Uran­tia un­til the time of Adam, re­main­ing as tit­u­lar head of all super­hu­man per­son­al­i­ties func­tion­ing on the planet. He and Amadon were sus­tained by the tech­nique of the tree of life in con­junc­tion with the spe­cial­ized life min­istry of the Mel­chiz­e­deks for over one hun­dred and fifty thou­sand years.

67:6.8Van and Amadon re­mained on earth un­til shortly af­ter the ar­rival of Adam and Eve. Some years there­after they were trans­lated to Je­ru­sem, where Van was re­united with his wait­ing Ad­juster. Van now serves in be­half of Uran­tia while await­ing the or­der to go for­ward on the long, long trail to Par­a­dise per­fec­tion and the un­re­vealed des­tiny of the as­sem­bling Corps of Mor­tal Fi­nal­ity.

67:8.1The Lu­cifer re­bel­lion was with­stood by many coura­geous be­ings on the var­i­ous worlds of Sa­ta­nia; but the rec­ords of Sal­ving­ton por­tray Amadon as the out­stand­ing char­ac­ter of the en­tire sys­tem in his glo­ri­ous re­jec­tion of the flood tides of sedi­tion and in his unswerv­ing de­vo­tion to Van—they stood to­gether un­moved in their loy­alty to the su­prem­acy of the in­vis­i­ble Fa­ther and his Son Mi­chael.

67:8.2At the time of these mo­men­tous trans­ac­tions I was sta­tioned on Eden­tia, and I am still con­scious of the ex­hil­a­ra­tion I ex­pe­ri­enced as I pe­rused the Sal­ving­ton broad­casts which told from day to day of the un­be­liev­able stead­fast­ness, the tran­scen­dent de­vo­tion, and the ex­qui­site loy­alty of this one­time semi­sav­age spring­ing from the ex­per­i­men­tal and orig­i­nal stock of the An­donic race.

67:8.3From Eden­tia up through Sal­ving­ton and even on to Uversa, for seven long years the first in­quiry of all sub­or­di­nate ce­les­tial life re­gard­ing the Sa­ta­nia re­bel­lion, ever and al­ways, was: “What of Amadon of Uran­tia, does he still stand un­moved?”

67:8.4If the Lu­cifer re­bel­lion has hand­i­capped the lo­cal sys­tem and its fallen worlds, if the loss of this Son and his mis­led as­so­ciates has tem­porar­ily ham­pered the prog­ress of the con­stel­la­tion of Nor­la­ti­adek, then weigh the ef­fect of the far-flung pre­sen­ta­tion of the in­spir­ing per­for­mance of this one child of na­ture and his de­ter­mined band of 143 com­rades in stand­ing stead­fast for the higher con­cepts of uni­verse man­age­ment and ad­min­is­tra­tion in the face of such tremen­dous and ad­verse pres­sure ex­erted by his dis­loyal su­pe­ri­ors. And let me as­sure you, this has al­ready done more good in the uni­verse of Neb­a­don and the super­uni­verse of Or­von­ton than can ever be out­weighed by the sum to­tal of all the evil and sor­row of the Lu­cifer re­bel­lion.

67:8.5And all this is a beau­ti­fully touch­ing and su­perbly mag­nif­i­cent il­lu­mi­na­tion of the wis­dom of the Fa­ther’s uni­ver­sal plan for mo­bi­liz­ing the Corps of Mor­tal Fi­nal­ity on Par­a­dise and for re­cruit­ing this vast group of mys­te­ri­ous ser­vants of the fu­ture largely from the com­mon clay of the mor­tals of as­cend­ing pro­gres­sion—just such mor­tals as the im­preg­nable Amadon.

• welcomed Adam

74:2.1Adam and Eve fell asleep on Je­ru­sem, and when they awak­ened in the Fa­ther’s tem­ple on Uran­tia in the pres­ence of the mighty throng as­sem­bled to wel­come them, they were face to face with two be­ings of whom they had heard much, Van and his faith­ful as­so­ciate Amadon. These two heroes of the Cali­gas­tia se­ces­sion were the first to wel­come them in their new gar­den home.

• welcomed Adam

74:2.5Soon af­ter their awak­en­ing, Adam and Eve were es­corted to the for­mal re­cep­tion on the great mound to the north of the tem­ple. This nat­u­ral hill had been en­larged and made ready for the in­stal­la­tion of the world’s new rulers. Here, at noon, the Uran­tia re­cep­tion com­mit­tee wel­comed this Son and Daugh­ter of the sys­tem of Sa­ta­nia. Amadon was chair­man of this com­mit­tee, which con­sisted of twelve mem­bers em­brac­ing a rep­re­sen­ta­tive of each of the six San­gik races; the act­ing chief of the mid­way­ers; An­nan, a loyal daugh­ter and spokesman for the Nod­ites; Noah, the son of the ar­chi­tect and builder of the Gar­den and ex­ec­u­tive of his de­ceased fa­ther’s plans; and the two res­i­dent Life Car­ri­ers.

74:5.2The farewell of the re­ceivers oc­cu­pied the whole of a day, and dur­ing the evening the in­di­vid­ual Mel­chiz­e­deks gave Adam and Eve their part­ing ad­vice and best wishes. Adam had sev­eral times re­quested his ad­vis­ers to re­main on earth with him, but al­ways were these pe­ti­tions de­nied. The time had come when the Ma­te­rial Sons must as­sume full re­spon­si­bil­ity for the con­duct of world af­fairs. And so, at mid­night, the se­raphic trans­ports of Sa­ta­nia left the planet with four­teen be­ings for Je­ru­sem, the trans­la­tion of Van and Amadon oc­cur­ring si­mul­ta­ne­ously with the de­par­ture of the twelve Mel­chiz­e­deks.

• 1-2-3 the first supported

77:9.51-2-3 the first, the el­dest of the pri­mary or­der, was re­leased from im­me­di­ate plan­e­tary du­ties shortly af­ter Pen­te­cost. This no­ble mid­wayer stood stead­fast with Van and Amadon dur­ing the tragic days of the plan­e­tary re­bel­lion, and his fear­less lead­er­ship was in­stru­men­tal in re­duc­ing the ca­su­al­ties in his or­der. He serves at pres­ent on Je­ru­sem as a mem­ber of the twenty-four coun­selors, hav­ing al­ready func­tioned as gov­er­nor gen­eral of Uran­tia once since Pen­te­cost.
