![The Six Colored Races](https://themasterproject.love/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/2-98910757_s-below-titles-aqua-123rf.jpg)
There are many good and sufficient reasons for the plan of evolving either three or six colored races on the worlds of space.
Quote from The URANTIA Book, 0726:02
Five hundred thousand years ago, in the highland regions in the northwest of India, among the most desirable descendants of Andon and Fonta—the hardy survivors of more than a hundred years of warfare—something new appeared in Satania, our system. A man and a woman began suddenly to produce a family of unusually intelligent children, whose skin turned various colors when exposed to sunlight, the so-called “Sangik family, the ancestors of all of the six colored races of Urantia” (0722:03). In order of the spectrum, this family would include 19 children: “five red, two orange, four yellow, two green, four blue, and two indigo” (0722:04).
Remember that the appearance of human will in the aboriginal race, the Andonites, was something new in our system; likewise, the simultaneous appearance, in one family, of the six races of color had never happened in our system. Urantia is a decimal world, a life-experiment world, and the Life Carriers and their superiors were trying out new ideas.
We no longer have a distinct orange race or green race or blue race; these races either destroyed themselves through protracted warfare or were absorbed into other races. But there is an Andonite inheritance to acknowledge: “And the sole survivors of these Urantia aborigines, the Eskimos, even now prefer to dwell in frigid northern climes” (0700:04). Beyond that, we still have the indigo (black) race in Africa, the yellow race in Asia, remnants of the red race in North America, a brown race (yellow and red) in Polynesia, and aside from every other mixture, a liberal mix of many variations of what we have named the white race spread widely across the world.
How the white race came to be is quite involved and requires some knowledge of our revelations. In these essays I will share this background with you. Meanwhile, we should admit there are no “pure” races. Over the course of almost one million years of the evolution of mankind, we all have “mixed” blood, no matter how “pure” we might think we are.
550 million years ago, the first great celestial event in the history of our world was the implantation of life. 500,000 years ago, simultaneous with the appearance of the races of color (the Sangik races, to use the unfamiliar terminology of The URANTIA Book), the second great celestial event occurred when a planetary supervisor was dispatched as our Planetary Prince. He was a brilliant personality, a native of our system, and the first revelation to our world. His name was Caligastia.
Our world, Urantia, is inhabited world number 606 of the system of Satania. Once again, for the sake of familiarity, we should highlight the local geography of the heavens—system, constellation, local universe—a system will eventually consist of 1,000 inhabited worlds, a constellation is 100 systems, a local universe is 100 constellations. There will be, eventually, 10 million inhabited worlds in our local universe.
Accompanied by a corps of invisible celestial helpers, Caligastia was himself also invisible to mortals, but he came with a cadre of 100 corporeal helpers who were visible; and Van, whose name from time immemorial has graced a large saltwater lake in eastern Turkey, was among those helpers.
In my next essay we will begin to explore who these corporeal helpers were.
