When the proclamation was issued calling for volunteers for the mission of Adamic adventure on Urantia, the entire senior corps of Material Sons and Daughters volunteered. The Melchizedek examiners, with the approval of Lanaforge and the Most Highs of Edentia, finally selected the Adam and Eve who subsequently came to function as the biologic uplifters of Urantia.
Quote from The URANTIA Book, 0828:04
On Jerusem, the headquarters world of our system of Satania, all three phases of existence in time and space are represented: the physical, the morontial, and the spiritual. The Material Sons, the Adams and Eves, are physical, material beings even in Heaven. Mortal ascenders like ourselves will have a morontial existence, somewhere beyond the physical, but not yet spiritual. And there will be numerous orders of spiritual beings, ascending in divinity from the lowest angels up to and including our System Sovereign, and others who may have occasion to be in Satania, some of whom may eclipse in brilliance and divinity even the Sovereign of our system. Gabriel, for instance, the Bright and Morning Star, the first-born native, the chief executive of our universe, has on occasion been present on Jerusem.
“The material or sex Sons and Daughters are the offspring of the Creator Son; the Universe Mother Spirit does not participate in the production of these beings who are destined to function as physical uplifters on the evolutionary worlds” (0580:04). “A Planetary Adam and Eve are, in potential, the full gift of physical grace to the mortal races” (0583:02). They partook of material nourishment, just as we do, but “also imbibed ‘light and energy’ direct from certain space emanations in conjunction with the ministry of the tree of life” (0834:06). “The bodies of Adam and Eve gave forth a shimmer of light” (0834:07), which is the origin of our idea of halos. They could communicate mentally with each another and their immediate children for a distance of 50 miles using “delicate gas chambers located in close proximity to their brain structures” (0834:08-0835:00).
In the Heavens, our Adam and Eve left behind “one hundred offspring—fifty sons and fifty daughters—” (0829:01) before they were dematerialized, enseraphimed for transport, and rematerialized on our world. Their mission here would be the biologic uplifting of the world races, a function devolving to their planetary offspring, who would be mortal, unlike their parents, who were immortal when able to partake of the tree of life.
The Adamic progeny would be the violet race, the ninth and the last race that will ever appear on Urantia. When their numbers were sufficiently strong, usually over a million, the plan was for the children of Adam and Eve to begin to mate with the superior strains of the mortal races, with a view to amalgamating all races, eventually, into one new and better, blended race.
Which, as you may well imagine, could take quite some time.
