A company of twenty-seven followed Adamson northward in quest of these people of his childhood fantasies. In a little over three years Adamson’s party actually found the object of their adventure, and among these people he discovered a wonderful and beautiful woman, twenty years old, who claimed to be the last pure-line descendant of the Prince’s staff. This woman, Ratta, said that her ancestors were all descendants of two of the fallen staff of the Prince. She was the last of her race, having no living brothers or sisters. She had about decided not to mate, had about made up her mind to die without issue, but she lost her heart to the majestic Adamson. And when she heard the story of Eden, how the predictions of Van and Amadon had really come to pass, and as she listened to the recital of the Garden default, she was encompassed with but a single thought—to marry this son and heir of Adam. And quickly the idea grew upon Adamson. In a little more than three months they were married.
Quote from The URANTIA Book, 0861:05
Almost seven years after Adam and Eve rematerialized in the first Garden, the twelve Melchizedek receivers turned the administration of world affairs over to Adam and were translated by seraphic transport back to the Heavens, along with Van and Amadon. It seems probable that as a very young child Adamson, the first-born of the violet race, had some personal contact with these two heroes of the rebellion. For 300,000 years before the rebellion, Van and Amadon had utilized the tree of life to maintain their immortality. After the rebellion, for another 150,000 years, they had kept the faith and the tree of life safe for the arrival of our Material Son and Daughter.
At the very least Adamson would have heard the story of how Van and Amadon had proclaimed “the advent of a promised Son of God, a racial uplifter, a teacher of truth, and the worthy successor of the traitorous Caligastia” (0822:05), and how “Van and Amadon recruited a corps of over three thousand willing and enthusiastic workers” (0822:07), who would labor upwards of 80 years preparing the Garden as a reception honoring the promised uplifters. The Garden was only one-fourth finished when Adam and Eve arrived, but still had “more than twelve thousand miles of paved paths and roads” (0824:06), and “over five thousand brick buildings in the various sectors, and the trees and plants were almost beyond number” (0824:06). And Adamson would have known that Van and Amadon had relocated to Eden from their highland home, somewhere to the north.
When the Edenic caravan vacating the first Garden was halted by the arrival of seraphic transports, Adamson’s first wife and all 32 of his pure-line children were transported to the Heavens (our constellation) to become wards of the Most Highs of Edentia. Thus it was, consciously aware or not, when Adamson left the second garden between the great rivers of Mesopotamia, he went in search of a new mate.
