P.754 - §2 For three hundred thousand
years Caligastia had been in charge of Urantia when Satan,
Lucifer's assistant, made one of his periodic inspection calls. And when
Satan arrived on the planet, his appearance in no way resembled your caricatures
of his nefarious majesty. He was, and still is, a Lanonandek Son of great
brilliance. "And no marvel, for Satan himself is a brilliant creature

P.757 - §5 The sixty members of the planetary staff
who went into rebellion chose Nod as their leader. They worked wholeheartedly
for the rebel Prince but soon discovered that they were deprived of the
sustenance of the system life circuits. They awakened to the fact that they
had been degraded to the status of mortal beings. They were indeed superhuman
but, at the same time, material and mortal. In an effort to increase their
numbers, Daligastia ordered immediate resort to P.758 - §0 sexual reproduction,
knowing full well that the original sixty and their forty-four modified
Andonite associates were doomed to suffer extinction by death, sooner or

and the east. Their descendants were long known as the Nodites, and their
dwelling place as "the land of Nod." |
