Their [the secondary midwayers] chief work today is that of unperceived personal-liaison associates of those men and women who constitute the planetary reserve corps of destiny. It was the work of this secondary group, ably seconded by certain of the primary corps, that brought about the co-ordination of personalities and circumstances on Urantia which finally induced the planetary celestial supervisors to initiate those petitions that resulted in the granting of the mandates making possible the series of revelations of which this presentation is a part. But it should be made clear that the midway creatures are not involved in the sordid performances taking place under the general designation of “spiritualism.” The midwayers at present on Urantia, all of whom are of honorable standing, are not connected with the phenomena of so-called “mediumship”; and they do not, ordinarily, permit humans to witness their sometimes necessary physical activities or other contacts with the material world, as they are perceived by human senses.
Quote from The URANTIA Book, 0865:06
For a brief pregnant pause, let us remind ourselves of the purpose for these essays. We entertain the possibility that Adam and Eve might return soon to our world. For many of you, I am aware that your knowledge of Adam and Eve is wrapped up with an apple, a wily serpent seducing Eve, and the subsequent Fall of Man. The truth as now revealed is not so simplistic, infinitely more engaging, thrilling, inspiring even, and will move your heart and intrigue you. Who, for instance, might be “those men and women who constitute the planetary reserve corps of destiny”?
The “secondary midwayers” are distinguished from our primary midwayers, who were a proceeding from our first revelation, from Planetary Prince Caligastia. The Prince’s staff included one hundred corporeal beings, immortals partaking of the tree of life. The primary midwayers were the offspring of this Caligastia one hundred—functioning as immortals. The secondary midwayers, much later, after the upheaval of a rebellion and the default of our second revelation, were the great grandchildren of Adam and Eve, the offspring of mere mortals.
Meanwhile, in profound gratitude we accept this, our most recent revelation, The URANTIA Book. This is inexpressibly loving, a reaching out of one part of the Universal Father’s creation to another, a reaching out of celestials who are created eternal to the mortals of time that we are.
It is simply impossible to believe any mortal or any collection of mortals, no matter how inspired, could have produced this narrative. There is no flight of fancy, no act of imagination, no possible human collaboration that could have produced this text, none whatsoever. (The Book of Ernest, p. 208)
