74:1.1The Plan­e­tary Adam and Eve of Uran­tia were mem­bers of the se­nior corps of Ma­te­rial Sons on Je­ru­sem, be­ing jointly num­ber 14,311. They be­longed to the third phys­i­cal se­ries and were a lit­tle more than eight feet in height.

anxiety cannot add handbreadth to 1 paragraph

165:5.2“Yes, An­drew, I will speak to you about these mat­ters of wealth and self-sup­port, but my words to you, the apos­tles, must be some­what dif­fer­ent from those spo­ken to the dis­ci­ples and the mul­ti­tude since you have for­saken ev­ery­thing, not only to fol­low me, but to be or­dained as am­bas­sadors of the king­dom. Al­ready have you had sev­eral years’ ex­pe­ri­ence, and you know that the Fa­ther whose king­dom you pro­claim will not for­sake you. You have ded­i­cated your lives to the min­istry of the king­dom; there­fore be not anx­ious or wor­ried about the things of the tem­po­ral life, what you shall eat, nor yet for your body, what you shall wear. The wel­fare of the soul is more than food and drink; the prog­ress in the spirit is far above the need of rai­ment. When you are tempted to doubt the sure­ness of your bread, con­sider the ravens; they sow not nei­ther reap, they have no store­houses or barns, and yet the Fa­ther pro­vides food for ev­ery one of them that seeks it. And of how much more value are you than many birds! Be­sides, all of your anx­i­ety or fret­ting doubts can do noth­ing to sup­ply your ma­te­rial needs. Which of you by anx­i­ety can add a hand­breadth to your stature or a day to your life? Since such mat­ters are not in your hands, why do you give anx­ious thought to any of these prob­lems?

giantism among green and orange peoples 1 paragraph

51:4.2The ear­lier races are some­what su­pe­rior to the later; the red man stands far above the in­digo—black—race. The Life Car­ri­ers im­part the full be­stowal of the liv­ing en­er­gies to the ini­tial or red race, and each suc­ceed­ing evo­lu­tion­ary man­i­fes­ta­tion of a dis­tinct group of mor­tals rep­re­sents vari­a­tion at the ex­pense of the orig­i­nal en­dow­ment. Even mor­tal stature tends to de­crease from the red man down to the in­digo race, al­though on Uran­tia un­ex­pected strains of gi­antism ap­peared among the green and or­ange peo­ples.
