Perhaps partaking of the tree of life would have allowed Adam and Eve to live in their earthly bodies indefinitely, like Van and Amadon. The question I have is why weren’t they allowed to do that, if only to maintain a center of culture on this planet until the next bestowal mission. It seems logical to me, but then again, my logic has its flaws. Maybe one of the reasons is that an adjunct to the tree of life is necessary. Van and Amadon also had access to a specialized life ministry from the Melchizedeks in addition to the tree of life. Perhaps two sources of life energy are necessary? Don’t know.
Hi, Concerning physical indifinite perpetual status Van was constitued with life plasm from the 100 choosen descendants from Adon and Fonta. And attuned to the life circuits of the system. 66:2.6 It worth to speculated “to be attuned” might suggest their human corpse was adapted to respond to tree of life ! In 66:2.6 we are told the rebellious sixty ” had been isolated from the life currents of the system.” Might be 2 differends things mind’s gravity and life circuit of the system. Questions: How Amadon did profit the “life currents of the system ” ? Caligastia and Daligastia both secondary Lanonandek sons, after rebellion, after the fault weren’t cut off, ‘disjuncted’ of anything regarding petpetual longevity. Probably, because they were not material but spiritual’s corpse. They didn’t have to be substain with mind’s gravity or/and the tree of life. Why A&E were not authorized to keep going God’s plans ? Could it be a question of trust ? Undoubtedly. Adam and Eve that default of trust culminated in degradation of status. 75:7.6 Could we included deviance of thinking? As you said Rick “disjonction” was a safeguard to any desobedience as reminded by the archangel Solonia. Still in default, look how careless ours parents were to follows directives from Solonia in 75:4.8. André
Glad not to be the only one with questions about the A&E bestowal, and its aftermath.
Andre does offer an answer to Bonita’s question, suggesting irreparable broken trust is the reason A&E weren’t permitted to stay on. To me, her error seems so small and insignificant (maybe because we are virtually numb to error and sin) compared to the monumental consequences. Then Adam, following her lead, caused another error–which brought about Cain (and Abel’s murder) and precipitated the death of Laotta. And then they ended up impregnating 1200 women without benefit of marriage, not unlike Cano and Eve had planned. Interestingly, their error qualified them to sit on the Council of 24 overseers of Urantia.
And then there’s that other question Bonita and I share, why was Urantia left without visible divinity for 30K years? So long did Urantia languish that an emergency bestowal had to precede Michael’s incarnation. Maybe the great gap in divine presence was to provide that more ‘striking backdrop’ for Michael’s bestowal… So many questions, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t answers, just a delay.
