P.742 - §4 These one hundred rematerialized
members of the Prince's staff were chosen by Caligastia from over 785,000
ascendant citizens of Jerusem who volunteered for embarkation on the Urantia
adventure. Each one of the chosen one hundred was from a different planet,
and none of them were from Urantia. |
 |
Arrival of the Caligastia one Hundred.
|
 |
The first gathering of the Caligastia One Hundred after
being awakened on Urantia. |
 |
(Not every group included five men and five women. All
leaders are assumed to be men.)
P.745 - §8 1. The council on food and material welfare.
This group was presided over by Ang. Food, water, clothes, and the material
advancement of the human species were fostered by this able corps. They
taught well digging, spring control, and irrigation. They taught those
from the higher altitudes and from the north P.746 - §0 improved
methods of treating skins for use as clothing, and weaving was later introduced
by the teachers of art and science. |
 |
P.746 - §2 2. The board of animal domestication
and utilization. This council was dedicated to the task of selecting and
breeding those animals best adapted to help human beings in bearing burdens
and transporting themselves, to supply food, and later on to be of service
in the cultivation of the soil. This able corps was directed by Bon. |
 |
P.746 - §5 3. The advisers regarding the conquest
of predatory animals. It was not enough that early man should try to domesticate
certain animals, but he must also learn how to protect himself from destruction
by the remainder of the hostile animal world. This group was captained by
Dan. |
 |
P.746 - §7 4. The faculty on dissemination and conservation
of knowledge. This group organized and directed the purely educational endeavors
of those early ages. It was presided over by Fad. The educational methods
of Fad consisted in supervision of employment accompanied by instruction
in improved methods of labor. Fad formulated the first alphabet and introduced
a writing system. This alphabet contained twenty-five characters. For writing
material these early peoples utilized tree barks, clay tablets, stone slabs,
a form of parchment made of hammered hides, and a crude form of paperlike
material made from wasps' nests. The Dalamatia library, destroyed soon after
the Caligastia disaffection, comprised more than two million separate records
and was known as the "house of Fad." |
 |
P.747 - §1 5. The commission on industry and trade.
This council was employed in fostering industry within the tribes and in
promoting trade between the various peace groups. Its leader was Nod. Every
form of primitive manufacture was encouraged by this corps. They contributed
directly to the elevation of standards of living by providing many new commodities
to attract the fancy of primitive men. They greatly expanded the trade in
the improved salt produced by the council on science and art. |
 |
P.747 - §3 6. The college of revealed religion. This
body was slow in functioning. Urantia civilization was literally forged
out between the anvil of necessity and the hammers of fear. But this group
had made considerable progress in their attempt to substitute Creator fear
for creature fear (ghost worship) before their labors were interrupted by
the later confusion attendant upon the secession upheaval. The head of this
council was Hap.
|
 |
P.747 - §7 7. The guardians of health and life. This
council was concerned with the introduction of sanitation and the promotion
of primitive hygiene and was led by Lut. |
 |
P.748 - §4 8. The planetary council on art and science.
This corps did much to improve the industrial technique of early man and
to elevate his concepts of beauty. Their leader was Mek. |
 |
P.748 - §9 9. The governors of advanced tribal relations.
This was the group intrusted with the work of bringing human society up
to the level of statehood. Their chief was Tut. |
 |
P.749 - §2 10. The supreme court of tribal co-ordination
and racial co-operation. This supreme council was directed by Van and was
the court of appeals for all of the other nine special commissions charged
with the supervision of human affairs. This council was one of wide function,
being intrusted with all matters of earthly concern which were not specifically
assigned to the other groups. This selected corps had been approved by the
Constellation Fathers of Edentia before they were authorized to assume the
functions of the supreme court of Urantia. |
