4. POST-MAGISTERIAL SON MAN
On normal and loyal planets this age opens with the mortal races blended and
biologically fit. There are no race or color problems; literally all nations
and races are of one blood. The brotherhood of man flourishes, and the nations
are learning to live on earth in peace and tranquillity. Such a world stands
on the eve of a great and culminating intellectual development.
When an evolutionary world becomes thus ripe for the magisterial age, one of
the high order of Avonal Sons makes his appearance on a magisterial mission.
The Planetary Prince and the Material Sons are of local universe origin; the
Magisterial Son hails from Paradise.
When the Paradise Avonals come to the mortal spheres on judicial actions,
solely as dispensation adjudicators, they are never incarnated. But when they
come on magisterial missions, at least the initial one, they are always
incarnated, though they do not experience birth, neither do they die the death
of the realm. They may live on for generations in those cases where they
remain as rulers on certain planets. When their missions are concluded, they
yield up their planetary lives and return to their former status of divine
sonship.
Each new dispensation extends the horizon of revealed religion, and the
Magisterial Sons extend the revelation of truth to portray the affairs of the
local universe and all its tributaries.
After the initial visitation of a Magisterial Son the races soon effect their
economic liberation. The daily work required to sustain one's independence
would be represented by two and one-half hours of your time. It is perfectly
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

safe to liberate such ethical and intelligent mortals. Such refined peoples
well know how to utilize leisure for self-improvement and planetary
advancement. This age witnesses the further purification of the racial stocks
by the restriction of reproduction among the less fit and poorly endowed
individuals.
The political government and social administration of the races continue to
improve, self-government being fairly well established by the end of this age.
By self-government we refer to the highest type of representative government.
Such worlds advance and honor only those leaders and rulers who are most fit
to bear social and political responsibilities.
During this epoch the majority of the world mortals are Adjuster indwelt. But
even yet the bestowal of divine Monitors is not always universal. The
Adjusters of fusion destiny are not yet bestowed upon all planetary mortals;
it is still necessary for the will creatures to choose the Mystery Monitors.
During the closing ages of this dispensation, society begins to return to more
simplified forms of living. The complex nature of an advancing civilization is
running its course, and mortals are learning to live more naturally and
effectively. And this trend increases with each succeeding epoch. This is the
age of the flowering of art, music, and higher learning. The physical sciences
have already reached their height of development. The termination of this age,
on an ideal world, witnesses the fullness of a great religious awakening, a
world-wide spiritual enlightenment. And this extensive arousal of the
spiritual natures of the races is the signal for the arrival of the bestowal
Son and for the inauguration of the fifth mortal epoch.
On many worlds it develops that the planet is not made ready for a bestowal
Son by one magisterial mission; in that event there will be a second, even a
succession of Magisterial Sons, each of whom will advance the races from one
dispensation to another until the planet is made ready for the gift of the
bestowal Son. On the second and subsequent missions the Magisterial Sons may
or may not be incarnated. But no matter how many Magisterial Sons may
appear--and they may also come as such after the bestowal Son--the advent of
each one marks the end of one dispensation and the beginning of another.
These dispensations of the Magisterial Sons cover anywhere from twenty-five
thousand to fifty thousand years of Urantia time. Sometimes such an epoch is
much shorter and in rare instances even longer. But in the fullness of time
one of these same Magisterial Sons will be born as the Paradise bestowal Son.
5. POST-BESTOWAL SON MAN
When a certain standard of intellectual and spiritual development is attained
on an inhabited world, a Paradise bestowal Son always arrives. On normal
worlds he does not appear in the flesh until the races have ascended to the
highest levels of intellectual development and ethical attainment. But on
Urantia the bestowal Son, even your own Creator Son, appeared at the close of
the Adamic dispensation, but that is not the usual order of events on the
worlds of space.
When the worlds have become ripe for spiritualization, the bestowal Son
arrives. These Sons always belong to the Magisterial or Avonal order except in
that case, once in each local universe, when the Creator Son prepares for his
terminal bestowal on some evolutionary world, as occurred when Michael of
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
Nebadon appeared on Urantia to bestow himself upon your mortal races. Only
one world in near ten million can enjoy such a gift; all other worlds are
spiritually advanced by the bestowal of a Paradise Son of the Avonal order.
The bestowal Son arrives on a world of high educational culture and encounters
a race spiritually trained and prepared to assimilate advanced teachings and
to appreciate the bestowal mission. This is an age characterized by the world-
wide pursuit of moral culture and spiritual truth. The mortal passion of this
dispensation is the penetration of cosmic reality and communion with spiritual
reality. The revelations of truth are extended to include the superuniverse.
Entirely new systems of education and government grow up to supplant the crude
regimes of former times. The joy of living takes on new color, and the
reactions of life are exalted to heavenly heights of tone and timbre.
The bestowal Son lives and dies for the spiritual uplift of the mortal races
of a world. He establishes the "new and living way"; his life is an
incarnation of Paradise truth in mortal flesh, that very truth--even the
Spirit of Truth--in the knowledge of which men shall be free.
On Urantia the establishment of this "new and living way" was a matter of fact
as well as of truth. The isolation of Urantia in the Lucifer rebellion had
suspended the procedure whereby mortals can pass, upon death, directly to the
shores of the mansion worlds. Before the days of Christ Michael on Urantia all
souls slept on until the dispensational or special millennial resurrections.
Even Moses was not permitted to go over to the other side until the occasion
of a special resurrection, the fallen Planetary Prince, Caligastia, contesting
such a deliverance. But ever since the day of Pentecost, Urantia mortals again
may proceed directly to the morontia spheres.
Upon the resurrection of a bestowal Son, on the third day after yielding up
his incarnated life, he ascends to the right hand of the Universal Father,
receives the assurance of the acceptance of the bestowal mission, and returns
to the Creator Son at the headquarters of the local universe. Thereupon the
bestowal Avonal and the Creator Michael send their joint spirit, the Spirit of
Truth, into the bestowal world. This is the occasion when the "spirit of the
triumphant Son is poured out upon all flesh." The Universe Mother Spirit also
participates in this bestowal of the Spirit of Truth, and concomitant
therewith there issues the bestowal edict of the Thought Adjusters. Thereafter
all normal-minded will creatures of that world will receive Adjusters as soon
as they attain the age of moral responsibility, of spiritual choice.
If such a bestowal Avonal should return to a world after the bestowal mission,
he would not incarnate but would come "in glory with the seraphic hosts."
The postbestowal Son age may extend from ten thousand to a hundred thousand
years. There is no arbitrary time allotted to any of these dispensational
eras. This is a time of great ethical and spiritual progress. Under the
spiritual influence of these ages, human character undergoes tremendous
transformations and experiences phenomenal development. It becomes possible to
put the golden rule into practical operation. The teachings of Jesus are
really applicable to a mortal world which has had the preliminary training of
the prebestowal Sons with their dispensations of character ennoblement and
culture augmentation.
During this era the problems of disease and delinquency are virtually solved.
Degeneracy has already been largely eliminated by selective reproduction.
Disease has been practically mastered through the high resistant qualities of
the
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
Page 597
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
Adamic strains and by the intelligent and world-wide application of the
discoveries of the physical sciences of preceding ages. The average length of
life, during this period, climbs well above the equivalent of three hundred
years of Urantia time.
Throughout this epoch there is a gradual lessening of governmental
supervision. True self-government is beginning to function; fewer and fewer
restrictive laws are necessary. The military branches of national resistance
are passing away; the era of international harmony is really arriving. There
are many nations, mostly determined by land distribution, but only one race,
one language, and one religion. Mortal affairs are almost, but not quite,
utopian. This truly is a great and glorious age!
6. URANTIA'S POSTBESTOWAL AGE
The bestowal Son is the Prince of Peace. He arrives with the message, "Peace
on earth and good will among men." On normal worlds this is a dispensation of
world-wide peace; the nations no more learn war. But such salutary influences
did not attend the coming of your bestowal Son, Christ Michael. Urantia is not
proceeding in the normal order. Your world is out of step in the planetary
procession. Your Master, when on earth, warned his disciples that his advent
would not bring the usual reign of peace on Urantia. He distinctly told them
that there would be "wars and rumors of wars," and that nation would rise
against nation. At another time he said, "Think not that I have come to bring
peace upon earth."
Even on normal evolutionary worlds the realization of the world-wide
brotherhood of man is not an easy accomplishment. On a confused and disordered
planet like Urantia such an achievement requires a much longer time and
necessitates far greater effort. Unaided social evolution can hardly achieve
such happy results on a spiritually isolated sphere. Religious revelation is
essential to the realization of brotherhood on Urantia. While Jesus has shown
the way to the immediate attainment of spiritual brotherhood, the realization
of social brotherhood on your world depends much on the achievement of the
following personal transformations and planetary adjustments:
1. Social fraternity. Multiplication of international and interracial social
contacts and fraternal associations through travel, commerce, and competitive
play. Development of a common language and the multiplication of
multilinguists. The racial and national interchange of students, teachers,
industrialists, and religious philosophers.
2. Intellectual cross-fertilization. Brotherhood is impossible on a world
whose inhabitants are so primitive that they fail to recognize the folly of
unmitigated selfishness. There must occur an exchange of national and racial
literature. Each race must become familiar with the thought of all races; each
nation must know the feelings of all nations. Ignorance breeds suspicion, and
suspicion is incompatible with the essential attitude of sympathy and love.
3. Ethical awakening. Only ethical consciousness can unmask the immorality of
human intolerance and the sinfulness of fratricidal strife. Only a moral
conscience can condemn the evils of national envy and racial jealousy. Only
moral beings will ever seek for that spiritual insight which is essential to
living the golden rule.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. Political wisdom. Emotional maturity is essential to self-control. Only
emotional maturity will insure the substitution of international techniques of
civilized adjudication for the barbarous arbitrament of war. Wise statesmen
will sometime work for the welfare of humanity even while they strive to
promote the interest of their national or racial groups. Selfish political
sagacity is ultimately suicidal--destructive of all those enduring qualities
which insure planetary group survival.
5. Spiritual insight. The brotherhood of man is, after all, predicated on the
recognition of the fatherhood of God. The quickest way to realize the
brotherhood of man on Urantia is to effect the spiritual transformation of
present-day humanity. The only technique for accelerating the natural trend of
social evolution is that of applying spiritual pressure from above, thus
augmenting moral insight while enhancing the soul capacity of every mortal to
understand and love every other mortal. Mutual understanding and fraternal
love are transcendent civilizers and mighty factors in the world-wide
realization of the brotherhood of man.
If you could be transplanted from your backward and confused world to some
normal planet now in the postbestowal Son age, you would think you had been
translated to the heaven of your traditions. You would hardly believe that you
were observing the normal evolutionary workings of a mortal sphere of human
habitation. These worlds are in the spiritual circuits of their realm, and
they enjoy all the advantages of the universe broadcasts and the reflectivity
services of the superuniverse.
7. POST-TEACHER SON MAN
The Sons of the next order to arrive on the average evolutionary world are the
Trinity Teacher Sons, the divine Sons of the Paradise Trinity. Again we find
Urantia out of step with its sister spheres in that your Jesus has promised to
return. That promise he will certainly fulfill, but no one knows whether his
second coming will precede or follow the appearances of Magisterial or Teacher
Sons on Urantia.
The Teacher Sons come in groups to the spiritualizing worlds. A planetary
Teacher Son is assisted and supported by seventy primary Sons, twelve
secondary Sons, and three of the highest and most experienced of the supreme
order of Daynals. This corps will remain for some time on the world, long
enough to effect the transition from the evolutionary ages to the era of light
and life--not less than one thousand years of planetary time and often
considerably longer. This mission is a Trinity contribution to the antecedent
efforts of all the divine personalities who have ministered to an inhabited
world.
The revelation of truth is now extended to the central universe and to
Paradise. The races are becoming highly spiritual. A great people has evolved
and a great age is approaching. The educational, economic, and administrative
systems of the planet are undergoing radical transformations. New values and
relationships are being established. The kingdom of heaven is appearing on
earth, and the glory of God is being shed abroad in the world.
This is the dispensation when many mortals are translated from among the
living. As the era of Trinity Teacher Sons progresses, the spiritual
allegiance of the mortals of time becomes more and more universal. Natural
death becomes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
Page 599
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
less frequent as the Adjusters increasingly fuse with their subjects during
the lifetime in the flesh. The planet eventually is classed as of the primary
modified order of mortal ascension.
Life during this era is pleasant and profitable. Degeneracy and the antisocial
end products of the long evolutionary struggle have been virtually
obliterated. The length of life approaches five hundred Urantia years, and the
reproductive rate of racial increase is intelligently controlled. An entirely
new order of society has arrived. There are still great differences among
mortals, but the state of society more nearly approaches the ideals of social
brotherhood and spiritual equality. Representative government is vanishing,
and the world is passing under the rule of individual self-control. The
function of government is chiefly directed to collective tasks of social
administration and economic co-ordination. The golden age is coming on apace;
the temporal goal of the long and intense planetary evolutionary struggle is
in sight. The reward of the ages is soon to be realized; the wisdom of the
Gods is about to be manifested.
The physical administration of a world during this age requires about one hour
each day on the part of every adult individual; that is, the equivalent of one
Urantia hour. The planet is in close touch with universe affairs, and its
people scan the latest broadcasts with the same keen interest you now manifest
in the latest editions of your daily newspapers. These races are occupied with
a thousand things of interest unknown on your world.
Increasingly, true planetary allegiance to the Supreme Being grows. Generation
after generation, more and more of the race step into line with those who
practice justice and live mercy. Slowly but surely the world is being won to
the joyous service of the Sons of God. The physical difficulties and material
problems have been largely solved; the planet is ripening for advanced life
and a more settled existence.
>From time to time throughout their dispensation, Teacher Sons continue to come
to these peaceful worlds. They do not leave a world until they observe that
the evolutionary plan, as it concerns that planet, is working smoothly. A
Magisterial Son of judgment usually accompanies the Teacher Sons on their
successive missions, while another such Son functions at the time of their
departure, and these judicial actions continue from age to age throughout the
duration of the mortal regime of time and space.
Each recurring mission of the Trinity Teacher Sons successively exalts such a
supernal world to ever-ascending heights of wisdom, spirituality, and cosmic
illumination. But the noble natives of such a sphere are still finite and
mortal. Nothing is perfect; nevertheless, there is evolving a quality of near
perfection in the operation of an imperfect world and in the lives of its
human inhabitants.
The Trinity Teacher Sons may return many times to the same world. But sooner
or later, in connection with the termination of one of their missions, the
Planetary Prince is elevated to the position of Planetary Sovereign, and the
System Sovereign appears to proclaim the entrance of such a world upon the era
of light and life.
It was of the conclusion of the terminal mission of the Teacher Sons (at least
that would be the chronology on a normal world) that John wrote: "I saw a new
heaven and a new earth and the new Jerusalem coming down from God out of
heaven, prepared as a princess adorned for the prince."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the same renovated earth, the advanced planetary stage, that the
olden seer envisioned when he wrote: "`For, as the new heavens and the new
earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, so shall you and your
children survive; and it shall come to pass that from one new moon to another
and from one Sabbath to another all flesh shall come to worship before me,'
says the Lord."
It is the mortals of such an age who are described as "a chosen generation, a
royal priesthood, a holy nation, an exalted people; and you shall show forth
the praises of Him who has called you out of darkness into this marvelous
light."
No matter what the special natural history of an individual planet may be, no
difference whether a realm has been wholly loyal, tainted with evil, or cursed
by sin--no matter what the antecedents may be--sooner or later the grace of
God and the ministry of angels will usher in the day of the advent of the
Trinity Teacher Sons; and their departure, following their final mission, will
inaugurate this superb era of light and life.
All the worlds of Satania can join in the hope of the one who wrote:
"Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for a new heaven and a new
earth, wherein dwells righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that you look
for such things, be diligent that you may be found by Him in peace, without
spot and blameless."
The departure of the Teacher Son corps, at the end of their first or some
subsequent reign, ushers in the dawn of the era of light and life--the
threshold of the transition from time to the vestibule of eternity. The
planetary realization of this era of light and life far more than equals the
fondest expectations of Urantia mortals who have entertained no more farseeing
concepts of the future life than those embraced within religious beliefs which
depict heaven as the immediate destiny and final dwelling place of surviving
mortals.
