![The Secondary Midwayers](https://themasterproject.love/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/98910757_s-below-titles-Love2-123rf.gif)
Adamson and Ratta had a family of sixty-seven children. They gave origin to a great line of the world’s leadership, but they did something more. It should be remembered that both of these beings were really superhuman. Every fourth child born to them was of a unique order. It was often invisible. Never in the world’s history had such a thing occurred. Ratta was greatly perturbed—even superstitious—but Adamson well knew of the existence of the primary midwayers, and he concluded that something similar was transpiring before his eyes. When the second strangely behaving offspring arrived, he decided to mate them, since one was male and the other female, and this is the origin of the secondary order of midwayers. Within one hundred years, before this phenomenon ceased, almost two thousand were brought into being.
Quote from The URANTIA Book, 0861:06
There would be sixteen of these children of “a unique order,” comprising eight couples, and “by a combined technique of sex and nonsex liaison” (0862:06) these eight couples would each produce 248 midwayers, which constitutes the entire original corps of 1,984 secondary midwayers. “And such a phenomenon was never possible on earth before that time, nor has it ever occurred since” (0862:06).
Of this original corps of secondary midwayers, there would be 1,111 loyal to the rule of Michael of Nebadon, and these loyal secondary midwayers have united with the 9,881 loyal primary midwayers (from the original corps of 50,000) to form The United Midwayers of Urantia, totaling 10,992 strong. The heartfelt enthusiasm of their motto moves me: “‘What the United Midwayers undertake, the United Midwayers do’” (0866:02). The rebel midwayers of both orders were interned 2,000 years ago, on the day of Pentecost, at the same time as the archrebel Lucifer.
The primary midwayers came to us from our first revelation, from our Planetary Prince, by way of his staff. The primary midwayers were the offspring of the corporeal members of his staff, by a “liaison of their morontial selves” (0744:09, see Part 12), before the rebellion and have been with us for 500,000 years. The primary midwayers were offspring of immortals, acting as immortals.
The secondary midwayers came to us from our second revelation, from Adam and Eve, after the rebellion and after the default of their mission of biologic uplift. As we noted in the first paragraph of this essay, by a “combined technique of sex and nonsex liaison” (0862:06), the secondary midwayers were the offspring of mortals, acting as mortals.
Both the first and second revelations were in the line of ancestry of the secondary midwayers. Our first revelation would provide one-half the ancestry through Ratta, the last pure-line descendant of two of the fallen members of the Prince’s staff; our second revelation, Adam and Eve, would provide the other half of the ancestry through Adamson, the first-born of Adam and Eve. Our secondary midwayers, who have been with us more than 37,000 years, are called the Adamic midwayers.
“Although their ability to traverse the energy circuits makes planetary departure feasible to any midwayer, they have individually pledged themselves not to leave the planet prior to their sometime release by the universe authorities” (0866:03). For the time being our midwayers are “The Permanent Citizens of Urantia” (0865:00). We hold them in great affection.
