voices of the Garden

39:5.31. The Voices of the Gar­den. When the plan­e­tary course of hu­man evo­lu­tion is at­tain­ing its high­est bi­o­logic level, there al­ways ap­pear the Ma­te­rial Sons and Daugh­ters, the Adams and Eves, to aug­ment the fur­ther evo­lu­tion of the races by an ac­tual con­tri­bu­tion of their su­pe­rior life plasm. The plan­e­tary head­quar­ters of such an Adam and Eve is usu­ally de­nom­i­nated the Gar­den of Eden, and their per­sonal ser­a­phim are of­ten known as the “voices of the Gar­den.” These ser­a­phim are of in­valu­able ser­vice to the Plan­e­tary Adams in all their projects for the phys­i­cal and in­tel­lec­tual up­step­ping of the evo­lu­tion­ary races. Af­ter the Adamic de­fault on Uran­tia, some of these ser­a­phim were left on the planet and were as­signed to Adam’s suc­ces­sors in au­thor­ity.

51:3.5The fifth or­der of an­gels, the plan­e­tary helpers, are at­tached to the Adamic mis­sion, al­ways ac­com­pa­ny­ing the Plan­e­tary Adams on their world ad­ven­tures. The corps of ini­tial as­sign­ment is usu­ally about one hun­dred thou­sand. When the work of the Uran­tia Adam and Eve was pre­ma­turely launched, when they de­parted from the or­dained plan, it was one of the se­raphic Voices of the Gar­den who re­mon­strated with them con­cern­ing their rep­re­hen­si­ble con­duct. And your nar­ra­tive of this oc­cur­rence well il­lus­trates the man­ner in which your plan­e­tary tra­di­tions have tended to as­cribe ev­ery­thing super­nat­u­ral to the Lord God. Be­cause of this, Uran­tians have of­ten be­come con­fused con­cern­ing the na­ture of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther since the words and acts of all his as­so­ciates and sub­or­di­nates have been so gen­er­ally at­tributed to him. In the case of Adam and Eve, the an­gel of the Gar­den was none other than the chief of the plan­e­tary helpers then on duty. This ser­a­phim, Solo­nia, pro­claimed the mis­car­riage of the di­vine plan and req­ui­si­tioned the re­turn of the Mel­chiz­e­dek re­ceivers to Uran­tia.

75:4.2And as the Ma­te­rial Son and Daugh­ter thus com­muned in the moon­lit Gar­den, “the voice in the Gar­den” re­proved them for dis­obe­di­ence. And that voice was none other than my own an­nounce­ment to the Edenic pair that they had trans­gressed the Gar­den covenant; that they had dis­obeyed the in­struc­tions of the Mel­chiz­e­deks; that they had de­faulted in the ex­e­cu­tion of their oaths of trust to the sov­er­eign of the uni­verse.

75:4.8I talked to the fa­ther and mother of the vi­o­let race that night in the Gar­den as be­came my duty un­der the sor­row­ful cir­cum­stances. I lis­tened fully to the recital of all that led up to the de­fault of Mother Eve and gave both of them ad­vice and coun­sel con­cern­ing the im­me­di­ate sit­u­a­tion. Some of this ad­vice they fol­lowed; some they dis­re­garded. This con­fer­ence ap­pears in your rec­ords as “the Lord God call­ing to Adam and Eve in the Gar­den and ask­ing, ‘Where are you?’” It was the prac­tice of later gen­er­a­tions to at­trib­ute ev­ery­thing un­usual and ex­traor­di­nary, whether nat­u­ral or spir­i­tual, di­rectly to the per­sonal in­ter­ven­tion of the Gods.
