Planetary+Epochs

== [|Urantia Text] [|PAPER 52]: [|PLANETARY MORTAL EPOCHS] ==

52:0.1 From the inception of life on an [|evolutionary planet] to the [|time] of its final flowering in the era of [|light and life], there [|appear] upon the [|stage] of world [|action] at least [|seven] [|epochs] of //human// life. These [|successive] [|ages] are [|determined] by the [|planetary] missions of the [|divine Sons], and on an [|average] [|inhabited world] these [|epochs] appear in the following order:
 * [|1. PRIMITIVE MAN]
 * [|2. POST-PLANETARY PRINCE MAN]
 * [|3. POST-ADAMIC MAN]
 * [|4. POST-MAGISTERIAL SON MAN]
 * [|5. POST-BESTOWAL SON MAN]
 * [|6. URANTIA'S POST-BESTOWAL AGE]
 * [|7. POST-TEACHER SON MAN]

52:0.2 The worlds of [|space], as soon as they are [|physically] suitable for life, are placed on the registry of the [|Life Carriers], and in due time these Sons are dispatched to such [|planets] for the [|purpose] of [|initiating] life. The entire period from life [|initiation] to the [|appearance] of [|man] is designated the prehuman era and precedes the [|successive] [|mortal] [|epochs] [|considered] in this [|narrative].

[|Epoch 1. PRIMITIVE MAN]
== [|Epoch 2] [|Dalamatian Epoch] ==

//**[|The Dalamatian teachings]**//. The true [|concept] of the [|First Source and Center] was first promulgated on [|Urantia] by the [|one hundred corporeal members] of [|Prince] [|Caligastia]' s staff. This expanding [|revelation] of [|Deity] went on for more than three hundred thousand years until it was suddenly terminated by the [|planetary secession] and the disruption of the [|teaching regime]. Except for the [|work] of [|Van], the [|influence] of the [|Dalamatian] [|revelation] was [|practically] lost to the whole world. Even the [|Nodites] had forgotten this [|truth] by the time of [|Adam]' s arrival. Of all who received the teachings of the [|one hundred], the [|red men] held them longest, but the [|idea] of the //[|Great Spirit]// was but a hazy [|concept] in Amerindian [|religion] when contact with [|Christianity] greatly [|clarified] and [|strengthened] it.
