PAPER 114
SERAPHIC PLANETARY GOVERNMENT
114:0.1
THE Most Highs rule in the kingdoms of men through many
celestial forces and agencies but chiefly through the
ministry of seraphim.
114:0.2
At noon today the roll call of planetary angels,
guardians, and others on Urantia was 501,234,619 pairs
of seraphim. There were assigned to my command two
hundred seraphic hosts -- 597,196,800 pairs of seraphim,
or 1,194,393,600 individual angels. The registry,
however, shows 1,002,469,238 individuals; it follows
therefore that 191,924,362 angels were absent from this
world on transport, messenger, and death duty. (On
Urantia there are about the same number of cherubim as
seraphim, and they are similarly organized.)
114:0.3
Seraphim and their associated cherubim have much to do
with the details of the superhuman government of a
planet, especially of worlds which have been isolated by
rebellion. The angels, ably assisted by the midwayers,
function on Urantia as the actual supermaterial
ministers who execute the mandates of the resident
governor general and all his associates and
subordinates. Seraphim as a class are occupied with many
assignments other than those of personal and group
guardianship.
114:0.4
Urantia is not without proper and effective supervision
from the system, constellation, and universe rulers. But
the planetary government is unlike that of any other
world in the Satania system, even in all Nebadon. This
uniqueness in your plan of supervision is due to a
number of unusual circumstances:
114:0.5
1. The life modification status of Urantia.
114:0.6
2. The exigencies of the Lucifer rebellion.
114:0.7
3. The disruptions of the Adamic default.
114:0.8
4. The irregularities growing out of the fact that
Urantia was one of the bestowal worlds of the Universe
Sovereign. Michael of Nebadon is the Planetary Prince of
Urantia.
114:0.9
5. The special function of the twenty-four planetary
directors.
114:0.10
6. The location on the planet of an archangels' circuit.
114:0.11
7. The more recent designation of the onetime incarnated
Machiventa Melchizedek as vicegerent Planetary Prince.
1. THE SOVEREIGNTY OF URANTIA
114:1.1
The original sovereignty of Urantia was held in trust by
the sovereign of the Satania system. It was first
delegated by him to a joint commission of Melchizedeks
and Life Carriers, and this group functioned on Urantia
until the arrival of a regularly constituted Planetary
Prince. Subsequent to the downfall of Prince Caligastia,
at the time of the Lucifer rebellion, Urantia had no
sure and settled relationship with the local universe
and its administrative divisions until the completion of
Michael's bestowal in the flesh, when he was proclaimed,
by the Union of Days, Planetary Prince of Urantia. Such
a proclamation in surety and in principle forever
settled the status of your world, but in practice the
Sovereign Creator Son made no gesture of personal
administration of the planet aside from the
establishment of the Jerusem commission of twenty-four
former Urantians with authority to represent him in the
government of Urantia and all other quarantined planets
in the system. One of this council is now always
resident on Urantia as resident governor general.
114:1.2
Vicegerent authority to act for Michael as Planetary
Prince has been recently vested in Machiventa
Melchizedek, but this Son of the local universe has made
not the slightest move toward modifying the present
planetary regime of the successive administrations of
the resident governors general.
114:1.3
There is little likelihood that any marked change will
be made in the government of Urantia during the present
dispensation unless the vicegerent Planetary Prince
should arrive to assume his titular responsibilities. It
appears to certain of our associates that at some time
in the near future the plan of sending one of the
twenty-four counselors to Urantia to act as governor
general will be superseded by the formal arrival of
Machiventa Melchizedek with the vicegerent mandate of
the sovereignty of Urantia. As acting Planetary Prince
he would undoubtedly continue in charge of the planet
until the final adjudication of the Lucifer rebellion
and probably on into the distant future of planetary
settlement in light and life.
114:1.4
Some believe that Machiventa will not come to take
personal direction of Urantian affairs until the end of
the current dispensation. Others hold that the
vicegerent Prince may not come, as such, until Michael
sometime returns to Urantia as he promised when still in
the flesh. Still others, including this narrator, look
for Melchizedek's appearance any day or hour.
2. THE BOARD OF PLANETARY SUPERVISORS
114:2.1
Since the times of Michael's bestowal on your world the
general management of Urantia has been intrusted to a
special group on Jerusem of twenty-four onetime
Urantians. Qualification for membership on this
commission is unknown to us, but we have observed that
those who have been thus commissioned have all been
contributors to the enlarging sovereignty of the Supreme
in the system of Satania. By nature they were all real
leaders when they functioned on Urantia, and (excepting
Machiventa Melchizedek) these qualities of leadership
have been further augmented by mansion world experience
and supplemented by the training of Jerusem citizenship.
Members are nominated to the twenty-four by the cabinet
of Lanaforge, seconded by the Most Highs of Edentia,
approved by the Assigned Sentinel of Jerusem, and
appointed by Gabriel of Salvington in accordance with
the mandate of Michael. The temporary appointees
function just as fully as do the permanent members of
this commission of special supervisors.
114:2.2
This board of planetary directors is especially
concerned with the supervision of those activities on
this world which result from the fact that Michael here
experienced his terminal bestowal. They are kept in
close and immediate touch with Michael by the liaison
activities of a certain Brilliant Evening Star, the
identical being who attended upon Jesus throughout the
mortal bestowal.
114:2.3
At the present time one John, known to you as "the
Baptist," is chairman of this council when it is in
session on Jerusem. But the ex officio head of this
council is the Assigned Sentinel of Satania, the direct
and personal representative of the Associate Inspector
on Salvington and of the Supreme Executive of Orvonton.
114:2.4
The members of this same commission of former Urantians
also act as advisory supervisors of the thirty-six other
rebellion-isolated worlds of the system; they perform a
very valuable service in keeping Lanaforge, the System
Sovereign, in close and sympathetic touch with the
affairs of these planets, which still remain more or
less under the overcontrol of the Constellation Fathers
of Norlatiadek. These twenty-four counselors make
frequent trips as individuals to each of the quarantined
planets, especially to Urantia.
114:2.5
Each of the other isolated worlds is advised by similar
and varying sized commissions of its onetime
inhabitants, but these other commissions are subordinate
to the Urantian group of twenty-four. While the members
of the latter commission are thus actively interested in
every phase of human progress on each quarantined world
in Satania, they are especially and particularly
concerned with the welfare and advancement of the mortal
races of Urantia, for they immediately and directly
supervise the affairs of none of the planets except
Urantia, and even here their authority is not complete
excepting in certain domains concerned with mortal
survival.
114:2.6
No one knows how long these twenty-four Urantia
counselors will continue in their present status,
detached from the regular program of universe
activities. They will no doubt continue to serve in
their present capacities until some change in planetary
status ensues, such as the end of a dispensation, the
assumption of full authority by Machiventa Melchizedek,
the final adjudication of the Lucifer rebellion, or the
reappearance of Michael on the world of his final
bestowal. The present resident governor general of
Urantia seems inclined to the opinion that all but
Machiventa may be released for Paradise ascension the
moment the system of Satania is restored to the
constellation circuits. But other opinions are also
current.
3. THE RESIDENT GOVERNOR GENERAL
114:3.1
Every one hundred years of Urantia time, the Jerusem
corps of twenty-four planetary supervisors designate one
of their number to sojourn on your world to act as their
executive representative, as resident governor general.
During the times of the preparation of these narratives
this executive officer was changed, the nineteenth so to
serve being succeeded by the twentieth. The name of the
current planetary supervisor is withheld from you only
because mortal man is so prone to venerate, even to
deify, his extraordinary compatriots and superhuman
superiors.
114:3.2
The resident governor general has no actual personal
authority in the management of world affairs except as
the representative of the twenty-four Jerusem
counselors. He acts as the co-ordinator of superhuman
administration and is the respected head and universally
recognized leader of the celestial beings functioning on
Urantia. All orders of angelic hosts regard him as their
co-ordinating director, while the united midwayers,
since the departure of 1-2-3 the first to become one of
the twenty-four counselors, really look upon the
successive governors general as their planetary fathers.
114:3.3
Although the governor general does not possess actual
and personal authority on the planet, he hands down
scores of rulings and decisions each day which are
accepted as final by all personalities concerned. He is
much more of a fatherly adviser than a technical ruler.
In certain ways he functions as would a Planetary
Prince, but his administration much more closely
resembles that of the Material Sons.
114:3.4
The Urantia government is represented in the councils of
Jerusem in accordance with an arrangement whereby the
returning governor general sits as a temporary member of
the System Sovereign's cabinet of Planetary Princes. It
was expected, when Machiventa was designated vicegerent
Prince, that he would immediately assume his place in
the council of the Planetary Princes of Satania, but
thus far he has made no gesture in this direction.
114:3.5
The supermaterial government of Urantia does not
maintain a very close organic relationship with the
higher units of the local universe. In a way, the
resident governor general represents Salvington as well
as Jerusem since he acts on behalf of the twenty-four
counselors, who are directly representative of Michael
and Gabriel. And being a Jerusem citizen, the planetary
governor can function as a spokesman for the System
Sovereign. The constellation authorities are represented
directly by a Vorondadek Son, the Edentia observer.
4. THE MOST HIGH OBSERVER
114:4.1
The sovereignty of Urantia is further complicated by the
onetime arbitrary seizure of planetary authority by the
government of Norlatiadek shortly after the planetary
rebellion. There is still resident on Urantia a
Vorondadek Son, an observer for the Most Highs of
Edentia and, in the absence of direct action by Michael,
trustee of planetary sovereignty. The present Most High
observer (and sometime regent) is the twenty-third thus
to serve on Urantia.
114:4.2
There are certain groups of planetary problems which are
still under the control of the Most Highs of Edentia,
jurisdiction over them having been seized at the time of
the Lucifer rebellion. Authority in these matters is
exercised by a Vorondadek Son, the Norlatiadek observer,
who maintains very close advisory relations with the
planetary supervisors. The race commissioners are very
active on Urantia, and their various group chiefs are
informally attached to the resident Vorondadek observer,
who acts as their advisory director.
114:4.3
In a crisis the actual and sovereign head of the
government, excepting in certain purely spiritual
matters, would be this Vorondadek Son of Edentia now on
observation duty. (In these exclusively spiritual
problems and in certain purely personal matters, the
supreme authority seems to be vested in the commanding
archangel attached to the divisional headquarters of
that order which was recently established on Urantia.)
114:4.4
A Most High observer is empowered, at his discretion, to
seize the planetary government in times of grave
planetary crises, and it is of record that this has
happened thirty-three times in the history of Urantia.
At such times the Most High observer functions as the
Most High regent, exercising unquestioned authority over
all ministers and administrators resident on the planet
excepting only the divisional organization of the
archangels.
114:4.5
Vorondadek regencies are not peculiar to
rebellion-isolated planets, for the Most Highs may
intervene at any time in the affairs of the inhabited
worlds, interposing the superior wisdom of the
constellation rulers in the affairs of the kingdoms of
men.
5. THE PLANETARY GOVERNMENT
114:5.1
The actual administration of Urantia is indeed difficult
to describe. There exists no formal government along the
lines of universe organization, such as separate
legislative, executive, and judicial departments. The
twenty-four counselors come the nearest to being the
legislative branch of the planetary government. The
governor general is a provisional and advisory chief
executive with the veto power resident in the Most High
observer. And there are no absolutely authoritative
judicial powers operative on the planet -- only the
conciliating commissions.
114:5.2
A majority of the problems involving seraphim and
midwayers are, by mutual consent, decided by the
governor general. But except when voicing the mandates
of the twenty-four counselors, his rulings are all
subject to appeal to conciliating commissions, to local
authorities constituted for planetary function, or even
to the System Sovereign of Satania.
114:5.3
The absence of the corporeal staff of a Planetary Prince
and the material regime of an Adamic Son and Daughter is
partially compensated by the special ministry of
seraphim and by the unusual services of the midway
creatures. The absence of the Planetary Prince is
effectively compensated by the triune presence of the
archangels, the Most High observer, and the governor
general.
114:5.4
This rather loosely organized and somewhat personally
administered planetary government is more than
expectedly effective because of the timesaving
assistance of the archangels and their ever-ready
circuit, which is so frequently utilized in planetary
emergencies and administrative difficulties.
Technically, the planet is still spiritually isolated in
the Norlatiadek circuits, but in an emergency this
handicap can now be circumvented through utilization of
the archangels' circuit. Planetary isolation is, of
course, of little concern to individual mortals since
the pouring out of the Spirit of Truth upon all flesh
nineteen hundred years ago.
114:5.5
Each administrative day on Urantia begins with a
consultative conference, which is attended by the
governor general, the planetary chief of archangels, the
Most High observer, the supervising supernaphim, the
chief of resident Life Carriers, and invited guests from
among the high Sons of the universe or from among
certain of the student visitors who may chance to be
sojourning on the planet.
114:5.6
The direct administrative cabinet of the governor
general consists of twelve seraphim, the acting chiefs
of the twelve groups of special angels functioning as
the immediate superhuman directors of planetary progress
and stability.
6. THE MASTER SERAPHIM OF PLANETARY SUPERVISION
114:6.1
When the first governor general arrived on Urantia,
concurrent with the outpouring of the Spirit of Truth,
he was accompanied by twelve corps of special seraphim,
Seraphington graduates, who were immediately assigned to
certain special planetary services. These exalted angels
are known as the master seraphim of planetary
supervision and are, aside from the overcontrol of the
planetary Most High observer, under the immediate
direction of the resident governor general.
114:6.2
These twelve groups of angels, while functioning under
the general supervision of the resident governor
general, are immediately directed by the seraphic
council of twelve, the acting chiefs of each group. This
council also serves as the volunteer cabinet of the
resident governor general.
114:6.3
As planetary chief of seraphim, I preside over this
council of seraphic chiefs, and I am a volunteer
supernaphim of the primary order serving on Urantia as
the successor of the onetime chief of the angelic hosts
of the planet who defaulted at the time of the
Caligastia secession.
114:6.4
The twelve corps of the master seraphim of planetary
supervision are functional on Urantia as follows:
114:6.5
1. The epochal
angels. These are the angels of the current age, the
dispensational group. These celestial ministers are
intrusted with the oversight and direction of the
affairs of each generation as they are designed to fit
into the mosaic of the age in which they occur. The
present corps of epochal angels serving on Urantia is
the third group assigned to the planet during the
current dispensation.
114:6.6
2. The progress
angels. These seraphim are intrusted with the task
of initiating the evolutionary progress of the
successive social ages. They foster the development of
the inherent progressive trend of evolutionary
creatures; they labor incessantly to make things what
they ought to be. The group now on duty is the second to
be assigned to the planet.
114:6.7
3. The religious
guardians. These are the "angels of the churches,"
the earnest contenders for that which is and has been.
They endeavor to maintain the ideals of that which has
survived for the sake of the safe transit of moral
values from one epoch to another. They are the
checkmates of the angels of progress, all the while
seeking to translate from one generation to another the
imperishable values of the old and passing forms into
the new and therefore less stabilized patterns of
thought and conduct. These angels do contend for
spiritual forms, but they are not the source of
ultrasectarianism and meaningless controversial
divisions of professed religionists. The corps now
functioning on Urantia is the fifth thus to serve.
114:6.8
4. The angels of
nation life. These are the "angels of the trumpets,"
directors of the political performances of Urantia
national life. The group now functioning in the
overcontrol of international relations is the fourth
corps to serve on the planet. It is particularly through
the ministry of this seraphic division that "the Most
Highs rule in the kingdoms of men."
114:6.9
5. The angels of
the races. Those who work for the conservation of
the evolutionary races of time, regardless of their
political entanglements and religious groupings. On
Urantia there are remnants of nine human races which
have commingled and combined into the people of modern
times. These seraphim are closely associated with the
ministry of the race commissioners, and the group now on
Urantia is the original corps assigned to the planet
soon after the day of Pentecost.
114:6.10
6. The angels of
the future. These are the projection angels, who
forecast a future age and plan for the realization of
the better things of a new and advancing dispensation;
they are the architects of the successive eras. The
group now on the planet has thus functioned since the
beginning of the current dispensation.
114:6.11
7. The angels of
enlightenment. Urantia is now receiving the help of
the third corps of seraphim dedicated to the fostering
of planetary education. These angels are occupied with
mental and moral training as it concerns individuals,
families, groups, schools, communities, nations, and
whole races.
114:6.12
8. The angels of
health. These are the seraphic ministers assigned to
the assistance of those mortal agencies dedicated to the
promotion of health and the prevention of disease. The
present corps is the sixth group to serve during this
dispensation.
114:6.13
9. The home
seraphim. Urantia now enjoys the services of the
fifth group of angelic ministers dedicated to the
preservation and advancement of the home, the basic
institution of human civilization.
114:6.14
10. The angels of
industry. This seraphic group is concerned with
fostering industrial development and improving economic
conditions among the Urantia peoples. This corps has
been seven times changed since the bestowal of Michael.
114:6.15
11. The angels of
diversion. These are the seraphim who foster the
values of play, humor, and rest. They ever seek to
uplift man's recreational diversions and thus to promote
the more profitable utilization of human leisure. The
present corps is the third of that order to minister on
Urantia.
114:6.16
12. The angels of
superhuman ministry. These are the angels of the
angels, those seraphim who are assigned to the ministry
of all other superhuman life on the planet, temporary or
permanent. This corps has served since the beginning of
the current dispensation.
114:6.17
When these groups of master seraphim disagree in matters
of planetary policy or procedure, their differences are
usually composed by the governor general, but all his
rulings are subject to appeal in accordance with the
nature and gravity of the issues involved in the
disagreement.
114:6.18
None of these angelic groups exercise direct or
arbitrary control over the domains of their assignment.
They cannot fully control the affairs of their
respective realms of action, but they can and do so
manipulate planetary conditions and so associate
circumstances as favorably to influence the spheres of
human activity to which they are attached.
114:6.19
The master seraphim of planetary supervision utilize
many agencies for the prosecution of their missions.
They function as ideational clearinghouses, mind
focalizers, and project promoters. While unable to
inject new and higher conceptions into human minds, they
often act to intensify some higher ideal which has
already appeared within a human intellect.
114:6.20
But aside from these many means of positive action, the
master seraphim insure planetary progress against vital
jeopardy through the mobilization, training, and
maintenance of the reserve corps of destiny. The chief
function of these reservists is to insure against
breakdown of evolutionary progress; they are the
provisions which the celestial forces have made against
surprise; they are the guarantees against disaster.
7. THE RESERVE CORPS OF DESTINY
114:7.1
The reserve corps of destiny consists of living men and
women who have been admitted to the special service of
the superhuman administration of world affairs. This
corps is made up of the men and women of each generation
who are chosen by the spirit directors of the realm to
assist in the conduct of the ministry of mercy and
wisdom to the children of time on the evolutionary
worlds. It is the general practice in the conduct of the
affairs of the ascension plans to begin this liaison
utilization of mortal will creatures immediately they
are competent and trustworthy to assume such
responsibilities. Accordingly, as soon as men and women
appear on the stage of temporal action with sufficient
mental capacity, adequate moral status, and requisite
spirituality, they are quickly assigned to the
appropriate celestial group of planetary personalities
as human liaisons, mortal assistants.
114:7.2
When human beings are chosen as protectors of planetary
destiny, when they become pivotal individuals in the
plans which the world administrators are prosecuting, at
that time the planetary chief of seraphim confirms their
temporal attachment to the seraphic corps and appoints
personal destiny guardians to serve with these mortal
reservists. All reservists have self-conscious
Adjusters, and most of them function in the higher
cosmic circles of intellectual achievement and spiritual
attainment.
114:7.3
Mortals of the realm are chosen for service in the
reserve corps of destiny on the inhabited worlds because
of:
1. Special capacity for being secretly rehearsed for
numerous possible emergency missions in the conduct of
various activities of world affairs.
2. Wholehearted dedication to some special social,
economic, political, spiritual, or other cause, coupled
with willingness to serve without human recognition and
rewards.
3. The possession of a Thought Adjuster of extraordinary
versatility and probable pre-Urantia experience in
coping with planetary difficulties and contending with
impending world emergency situations.
114:7.4
Each division of planetary celestial service is entitled
to a liaison corps of these mortals of destiny standing.
The average inhabited world employs seventy separate
corps of destiny, which are intimately connected with
the superhuman current conduct of world affairs. On
Urantia there are twelve reserve corps of destiny, one
for each of the planetary groups of seraphic
supervision.
114:7.5
The twelve groups of Urantia destiny reservists are
composed of mortal inhabitants of the sphere who have
been rehearsed for numerous crucial positions on earth
and are held in readiness to act in possible planetary
emergencies. This combined corps now consists of 962
persons. The smallest corps numbers 41 and the largest
172. With the exception of less than a score of contact
personalities, the members of this unique group are
wholly unconscious of their preparation for possible
function in certain planetary crises. These mortal
reservists are chosen by the corps to which they are
respectively attached and are likewise trained and
rehearsed in the deep mind by the combined technique of
Thought Adjuster and seraphic guardian ministry. Many
times numerous other celestial personalities participate
in this unconscious training, and in all this special
preparation the midwayers perform valuable and
indispensable services.
114:7.6
On many worlds the better adapted secondary midway
creatures are able to attain varying degrees of contact
with the Thought Adjusters of certain favorably
constituted mortals through the skillful penetration of
the minds of the latters' indwelling. (And it was by
just such a fortuitous combination of cosmic adjustments
that these revelations were materialized in the English
language on Urantia.) Such potential contact mortals of
the evolutionary worlds are mobilized in the numerous
reserve corps, and it is, to a certain extent, through
these small groups of forward-looking personalities that
spiritual civilization is advanced and the Most Highs
are able to rule in the kingdoms of men. The men and
women of these reserve corps of destiny thus have
various degrees of contact with their Adjusters through
the intervening ministry of the midway creatures; but
these same mortals are little known to their fellows
except in those rare social emergencies and spiritual
exigencies wherein these reserve personalities function
for the prevention of the breakdown of evolutionary
culture or the extinction of the light of living truth.
On Urantia these reservists of destiny have seldom been
emblazoned on the pages of human history.
114:7.7
The reservists unconsciously act as conservators of
essential planetary information. Many times, upon the
death of a reservist, a transfer of certain vital data
from the mind of the dying reservist to a younger
successor is made by a liaison of the two Thought
Adjusters. The Adjusters undoubtedly function in many
other ways unknown to us, in connection with these
reserve corps.
114:7.8
On Urantia the reserve corps of destiny, though having
no permanent head, does have its own permanent councils
which constitute its governing organization. These
embrace the judiciary council, the historicity council,
the council on political sovereignty, and many others.
From time to time, in accordance with the corps
organization, titular (mortal) heads of the whole
reserve corps have been commissioned by these permanent
councils for specific function. The tenure of such
reservist chiefs is usually a matter of a few hours'
duration, being limited to the accomplishment of some
specific task at hand.
114:7.9
The Urantia reserve corps had its largest membership in
the days of the Adamites and Andites, steadily declining
with the dilution of the violet blood and reaching its
low point around the time of Pentecost, since which time
reserve corps membership has steadily increased.
114:7.10
(The cosmic reserve corps of universe-conscious citizens
on Urantia now numbers over one thousand mortals whose
insight of cosmic citizenship far transcends the sphere
of their terrestrial abode, but I am forbidden to reveal
the real nature of the function of this unique group of
living human beings.)
114:7.11
Urantia mortals should not allow the comparative
spiritual isolation of their world from certain of the
local universe circuits to produce a feeling of cosmic
desertion or planetary orphanage. There is operative on
the planet a very definite and effective superhuman
supervision of world affairs and human destinies.
114:7.12
But it is true that you can have, at best, only a meager
idea of an ideal planetary government. Since the early
times of the Planetary Prince, Urantia has suffered from
the miscarriage of the divine plan of world growth and
racial development. The loyal inhabited worlds of
Satania are not governed as is Urantia. Nevertheless,
compared with the other isolated worlds, your planetary
governments have not been so inferior; only one or two
worlds may be said to be worse, and a few may be
slightly better, but the majority are on a plane of
equality with you.
114:7.13
No one in the local universe seems to know when the
unsettled status of the planetary administration will
terminate. The Nebadon Melchizedeks are inclined to the
opinion that little change will occur in the planetary
government and administration until Michael's second
personal arrival on Urantia. Undoubtedly at this time,
if not before, sweeping changes will be effected in
planetary management. But as to the nature of such
modifications of world administration, no one seems to
be able even to conjecture. There is no precedent for
such an episode in all the history of the inhabited
worlds of the universe of Nebadon. Among the many things
difficult to understand concerning the future government
of Urantia, a prominent one is the location on the
planet of a circuit and divisional headquarters of the
archangels.
114:7.14
Your isolated world is not forgotten in the counsels of
the universe. Urantia is not a cosmic orphan stigmatized
by sin and shut away from divine watchcare by rebellion.
From Uversa to Salvington and on down to Jerusem, even
in Havona and on Paradise, they all know we are here;
and you mortals now dwelling on Urantia are just as
lovingly cherished and just as faithfully watched over
as if the sphere had never been betrayed by a faithless
Planetary Prince, even more so. It is eternally true,
"the Father himself loves you."
114:7.15
Presented by the Chief of Seraphim stationed on Urantia.
