INTRODUCTION
(by Doris Calmel)
In order to understand this text, it is good to have some additional information. The attached sheet explains the creation of the earth (Urantia) then the appearance of vegetation and the animal kingdom. But who brought this creation and how it was done. For this a little explanation on the LIFE CARRIER by which we also received the text below. Protoplasm, the basis of life, (2nd seminar) is brought by the carriers of life. These entities (biologists) are responsible for installing life on a newly created and materially livable planet, according to the criteria chosen by creation.
In this text a life bearer speaks with a language understandable to us. He answers our questions: How did humanity come to earth? How and when did initial human thought take hold?
A. THE FIRST HUMAN BEINGS
62/63 (page 707)
The birth of the first two human beings occurs exactly 993,419 years before the year 1934 of the Christian era. (2006 = 993,491 years)
These two remarkable creatures were real human beings. They possessed a perfect human thumb like many of their ancestors, but they also had feet as well formed as those of today’s human races. These beings were walkers and runners, not climbers; the prehensile function of the big toe was absent, completely absent. When danger chased them to the treetops, they climbed just as humans would today. They climbed along tree trunks like bears, not like chimpanzees or gorillas, swinging from branch to branch.
(These two beings were given the name Andon, for the boy, which is a Nebadonian name and means “the first creature similar to the Father and showing a thirst for human perfection.” Fonta, the girl, means “the first creature similar to the Son and showing a thirst for human perfection.)
These early humans (and their descendants) became fully adults at age twelve and had a potential lifespan of approximately seventy-five years.
Many new emotions appeared early in the two human twins. They felt admiration for both objects and other beings and showed extreme vanity. But the most remarkable progress in their emotional development was the sudden appearance of a new group of truly human feelings, the feelings of adoration including awe, respect, humility, and even a primitive form of gratitude. Fear, combined with ignorance of natural phenomena, was about to give birth to primitive religion.
Not only were these human feelings manifested, but many more highly evolved feelings were also present in rudimentary form. These primitive humans had a moderate awareness of pity, shame, and opprobrium, and a very acute awareness of love, hatred, and revenge; they were also likely to experience marked feelings of jealousy.
The first two humans — the twins — were a great test for
their primate relatives. (who had no personalities) They were so curious and so adventurous that they almost lost their lives on many occasions before they were eight years old. Regardless, they were seriously covered in scars by the time they were twelve.
They learned very early to communicate verbally. By the age of ten, they had developed a more sophisticated language of signs and words containing around fifty ideas, and greatly improved and expanded the rudimentary communication techniques of their ancestors. Despite their efforts, they were able to teach their parents very few of their new signs and symbols.
Around their ninth year, they went one fine day along the river and had an important talk. All the celestial intelligences stationed on Urantia, including myself, were present and observing the progress of this midday meeting. During that memorable day, they agreed to live with each other and for each other; this agreement was the first in a series of agreements that culminated in the decision to flee their lower animal companions and head north, without fully knowing that they would thus found the human race.
We were all very concerned about the plans of these two little savages, but we were powerless to control the work of their minds. We did not arbitrarily influence their decisions, we could not, but, within the permissible limits of our planetary functions, we, the Life Carriers, in agreement with our associates, all conspired to direct the human twins towards the north, far from their furry relatives living partially in trees. So, by their own intelligent choice, the twins emigrated and, because of our supervision, they migrated north to a secluded region, where they escaped the possibilities of biological degradation by mixing with the lower families of the primate tribes. .
Shortly before leaving their native forest, they lost their mother during an attack by gibbons. Although she did not possess their intelligence, she had, as a mammal, an admirable and high degree of affection for her children, and courageously sacrificed her life in an attempt to save the wonderful couple. Her sacrifice was not in vain, as she held off the enemy until the father arrived with reinforcements and put the invaders to flight.
Shortly after the young couple abandoned their companions to found the human race, their primate father became inconsolable—he was heartbroken. He refused to eat, even when food was brought to him by his other children. Having lost his brilliant offspring, life no longer seemed worth living among his ordinary companions; he therefore went to wander in the forest, was attacked by hostile gibbons and died under their blows.
B. THE EVOLUTION OF THE HUMAN MIND (THINKING) 62:6.1 (p.709)
We, the Life Carriers on Urantia, had lived the long vigil of watchful waiting since the day we implanted the first life plasma into the waters of the planet. The appearance of the first truly volitional and intelligent beings naturally gave us great joy and supreme satisfaction.
We had continued to follow the mental development of the twins by observing the operations of the seven adjutant mind-spirits assigned to Urantia at the time of our arrival on the planet. During the long evolutionary development of planetary life, these indefatigable ministers of the mind had continually noted their own increasing ability to come into contact with the cerebral faculties of animals, faculties which were amplified as the creatures animals were progressing.
At the beginning, only the spirit of intuition (orientation) could act on the instinctive behavior subject to the reflexes of elementary animal life. When the higher types differentiated themselves, the spirit of understanding was able to attribute to these creatures the faculty of spontaneously associating ideas.
Later, we saw the spirit of courage operating ; animals in the course of evolution actually acquired a rudimentary form of protective consciousness. Following the appearance of groups of mammals, we saw the spirit of knowledge (the adjutant of adventure) manifest to an increased extent. Then the evolution of higher mammals allowed the functioning of the counseling spirit, with the corresponding growth of the herd instinct and the beginnings of primitive social development.
We had observed with increasing attention the increased service of the first five adjutants throughout the evolution of precursor mammals, intermediate mammals and primates. However, the last two adjutants, higher ministers of mind, had never been able to function on the Urantian type of evolutionary mind.
Imagine our joy when one day — the twins were about ten years old — the spirit of worship first came into contact with the thoughts of the twin, and soon afterwith those of the twin. We knew that something intimately linked to the human mind was coming to a head. About a year later, when they finally resolved, through collected thought and carefully considered decision, to flee home and head north, then the spirit of wisdom began to work on Urantia and in the minds of these two humans now recognized as such.
There was immediately a new order for the mobilization of the seven adjutant mind-spirits. We were vibrant with hope; we realized that the long-awaited hour was approaching; we knew that we were on the threshold of the realization of our long-term effort to bring into being by evolution volitional creatures on Urantia.
C. The Earth recognized as an inhabited world 62:7.1(P.709.8)
We didn’t have long to wait. At noon on the day after the twins’ escape, the first test flash of the universe circuit signals occurred at the planetary receiving home of Urantia. We were naturally all very moved by the idea that a great event was imminent; but, since Urantia was an experimental station for life, we had not the slightest idea of exactly how we would be informed that intelligent life was recognized on the planet. We did not wait long. On the third day after the escape of the twins, and before the departure of the body of Life Carriers, the archangel of Nebadon arrived in charge of establishing the initial planetary circuits.
62 :7.2.-P.710 – §1 It was a memorable day on Urantia when our little group gathered around the planetary space communication pole and received the first message sent from Salvington on the newly established mental circuit of the planet. Dictated by the head of the body of archangels, this first message read:
62 :7.3 -P.710 – §2 “To the Life Carriers on Urantia — Hello! We convey the assurance that there was great joy on Salvington, Edentia and Jerusem when the signal of the existence on Urantia of a mind with volitional dignity was recorded at Nebadon headquarters. The twins’ concerted decision to flee north and separate their descendants from their lesser ancestors was recorded. This is the first mental decision — of a human-type mind — on Urantia, and it automatically establishes the communication circuit over which this initial message of recognition is transmitted. ”
62 :7,4 -P.710 – §3 Then came, through this new circuit, greetings from the Most Highs of Edentia, which contained instructions to the resident Life Carriers forbidding us from interfering with the pattern of life we had established. We were ordered not to interfere in the affairs of human progress. It should not be inferred from this that the Life Carriers arbitrarily and mechanically interfere with the natural realization of the evolutionary plans of the planet, because we do not. But, until then, we had been allowed to act on the surrounding space and to protect the vital plasma in a special way. And it was this extraordinary, although perfectly natural, supervision that had to end.
62:7,5 P.710 – §4 Barely had the Most Highs stopped speaking when the magnificent message of Lucifer, then sovereign of the Satania system, began to be heard on the planet. Then the Life Carriers heard the words of welcome of their own accord and received his permission to return to Jerusem. This message from Lucifer contained official acceptance of the work of the Life Carriers on Urantia and absolved us of any future criticism of any of our efforts to improve the Nebadon patterns of life as established in the Satania system.
P.710 – §5 These messages from Salvington, Edentia and Jerusem officially marked the end of the centuries-old supervision of the planet by the Life Carriers. We had been at the task for ages, assisted only by the seven adjutant mind-spirits and the Master Physical Controllers. The will, the power to choose worship and ascension, had now appeared in the evolutionary creatures of the planet; we understood, then, that our work was finished, and our group prepared to leave. Urantia being a life-altering world, we were given permission to leave behind two senior Life Carriers with twelve assistants; I was chosen as a member of this group and since then I have always remained on Urantia.
62 :7.7 -P.710 – §6 It is exactly 993,408 years ago (before the year 1934 of the Christian era) that Urantia was officially recognized as a planet of human habitation in the universe of Nebadon. Biological evolution had once again reached human levels of volitional dignity; the man had appeared on planet 606 of Satania.
It was a source of regret for us, the Life Carriers, that all our efforts to modify intelligent life on planet earth were partially handicapped by tragic perversions beyond our control: the betrayal of Caligastia and the failure of Adam.
In this whole biological adventure, our greatest disappointment was the reversion, on such a vast and unexpected scale, of some primitive plant life to pre-chlorophyll levels of parasitic bacteria. This accident in plant life has caused many distressing diseases among higher mammals and particularly among the more vulnerable human species. When we found ourselves faced with this embarrassing situation, we did not attach too much importance to these difficulties because we knew that the subsequent contribution of the Adamic vital plasma would strengthen the resistance of the resulting amalgamated race enough to bring it practically to the end. safe from all diseases caused by plant organisms, but our hopes were shattered by the unfortunate Adamic failure.
The Universe of universes, including the small world of Planet Earth, is not administered simply to adapt to our convenience or receive our approval and even less to respond to our whims or to satisfy our curiosity. Without a doubt the wise and all-powerful beings who are responsible for managing the Universe know exactly what they are doing; it is therefore appropriate for the Life Carriers and it is important for mortals to participate with patient expectation and a spirit of sincere cooperation in the rule of wisdom, the reign of power and the march of progress.
Of course, there are certain compensations for trials, such as the Outpouring of the Spirit of Truth and Sanctification on earth. But regardless of all these considerations the higher celestial directors of your planet express their full confidence in the ultimate triumph of human racial evolution and in the final vindication of our original life plans and archetypes.

V. EVOLVING LIFE TECHNIQUES
It is impossible to accurately and simultaneously determine the exact position and speed of a moving object; Any attempt to measure one inevitably leads to a modification of the other. Mortal man finds himself confronted with the same kind of paradox when he undertakes the chemical analysis of protoplasm. The chemist can determine the composition of dead protoplasm, but he cannot perceive either the physical organization or the dynamic functioning of living protoplasm. The scientist gets closer and closer to the secrets of life, but he will never discover them for the simple reason that he must kill the protoplasm to be able to analyze it. Dead protoplasm weighs the same as living protoplasm, but it is not the same thing.
Plants and living beings have an original gift of adaptation. In every living plant or animal cell, in every living material or spiritual organism, there is an insatiable desire to achieve ever-increasing perfection, adapting to the surrounding environment to adapt the organism and better assimilate life.
The existence of an innate search for perfection.
The most important step in plant evolution was the development of the ability to produce chlorophyll, the second most important was the evolutionary transformation of the spore into a complex seed. As a reproductive agent, the spore is very effective, but it lacks the inherent variety and versatility of the seed. One of the most complex and useful episodes in the evolution of higher types of animals consisted of the following development: the iron atom contained in the molecules of the blood stream became capable of accomplishing the dual task of transporting oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide. This action of red blood cells shows how evolving organisms can adapt their functions to variations and changes in the surrounding environment. Higher animals and humans oxygenate their tissues thanks to the action of iron contained in red blood cells, iron which transports oxygen to living cells and just as effectively eliminates carbon dioxide. However, other metals can be used for the same purpose. The “cuttlefish” uses copper for this function and the ultramarine (oxide) uses vanadium.
These biological adjustments continue, as evidenced by the evolution of the dentition of higher mammals. The distant ancestors of man had up to 36 teeth, then began a readjustment towards the 32 teeth of primitive man and his close relatives. Currently the human species tends to have only 28 teeth. The evolutionary process is still actively underway and adapting to the circumstances of the planet.
Many seemingly mysterious adjustments of living organisms are purely chemical, totally material. At any given time, more than 15 million chemical reactions between the hormonal secretions of a dozen endocrine glands are likely to occur in a human being’s bloodstream.
The lower forms of plant life react completely to the surrounding physical, chemical and electrical environment.
As one rises on the ladder of life, the thought ministers of seven adjutant spirits come into action one by one and thought begins more and more to adjust, create, coordinate and dominate. The ability of animals to adapt to air, water and earth is not a supernatural gift, it is not a hyper-physical adjustment.
Physics and chemistry alone cannot explain how humans evolved from the primordial protoplasm of the primitive seas. The ability to learn, memory and differential sensitivity to the surrounding environment are gifts of thought. The laws of physics cannot be modified by education; they are invariable and immutable. The same goes for chemical reactions: they are uniform and intangible. Apart from the present of the Unconditioned Absolute, chemical and electrical reactions are predictable.
On the other hand, thought can benefit from experience and learn from the reactive habits of behavior in response to the repetition of stimulants.
Pre-intelligent organisms respond to environmental stimuli, but organisms responsive to the ministry of thought can manipulate and adjust the ambient environment itself.
The physical brain and associated nervous system have an innate sensitivity to the ministry of thought just as the evolving thought of a personality has a certain innate capacity for spiritual receptivity; thought therefore contains the potential for spiritual progress and achievement.
Intellectual, moral, social and spiritual evolution depends on the ministry of the seven adjutant mental spirits and their hyper-physical associates.
Here, it is good to add that the parents of Andon and Fonta were LEMURIANS of approximately 1.60m. There are very few lemurs left in the world, we especially know those from Madagascar which move by hopping sideways. The famous “LUCIE” was probably a lemur. (DC note)
The fact that he had no other intervention in their decision to leave confirms that they had FREE WILL. Cleverly, they detached themselves from their family of origin so that there would be no crossover.
They were intelligent, because they understood that contact with their parents would not help them evolve. So there were indeed the adjutants and the powers of the personality which cooperated.
The arrival of the adjutant of worship and wisdom on earth – this is the physical mechanism for the mental mechanism to come. The meeting of the coordination of life carriers and adjutants. Let’s know how to put together: body + mind + personality and use it wisely!
My life is a project – to become like God – I must realize myself! God is already there if I want him, I am not there yet so let’s look for the way in my personality. The work must be done, YOU must BE ME – be sincerely convinced – I exist and I always want to exist.
My 7 adjutants are there, so my Adjuster/God (4th seminar) is to know and be! Every day a little more, the growth continues, I cannot here and now discover it, so we must continue. Experience things… seek and find!
The relationship between man and earth? What does it matter to God that humans appear on earth endowed with intelligence and will? A question that we will ask ourselves for some time to come, but the answer to which is gradually coming to us
Here, we also need explanations to be able to better understand the text, for this on the attached sheet a diagram of the worlds, planets and the Cosmos.
Men are forced to be content with this story that has been given to us. This is the organization of the Cosmos which we will study later. Here we are in the study of Humans.
It is difficult for us to imagine the logical complexity of the construction of the universe, but everything is done so that humans can access God. The names used or designations are explained below:

Receiving Home on Urantia
Archangel of Nebadon
Nebadon
Salvington
Head of the body of archangels
