Paper 77
The Midway Creatures
77:0.1 Most of the inhabited worlds of Nebadon harbor one or
more groups of unique beings existing on a life-functioning
level about midway between those of the mortals of the realms
and of the angelic orders; hence are they called midway creatures.
They appear to be an accident of time, but they occur so widespreadly
and are so valuable as helpers that we have all long since accepted
them as one of the essential orders of our combined planetary
ministry.
77:0.2 On Urantia there function two distinct orders of midwayers:
the primary or senior corps, who came into being back in the
days of Dalamatia, and the secondary or younger group, whose
origin dates from the times of Adam.

1. The Primary Midwayers
77:1.1 The primary midwayers have their
genesis in a unique interassociation of the material and the
spiritual on Urantia. We know of the existence of similar creatures
on other worlds and in other systems, but they originated by
dissimilar techniques.
77:1.2 It is well always to bear in mind that the successive
bestowals of the Sons of God on an evolving planet produce marked
changes in the spiritual economy of the realm and sometimes
so modify the workings of the interassociation of spiritual
and material agencies on a planet as to create situations indeed
difficult of understanding. The status of the one hundred corporeal
members of Prince Caligastia' s staff illustrates just such
a unique interassociation: As ascendant morontia citizens of
Jerusem they were supermaterial creatures without reproductive
prerogatives. As descendant planetary ministers on Urantia they
were material sex creatures capable of procreating material
offspring (as some of them later did). What we cannot satisfactorily
explain is how these one hundred could function in the parental
role on a supermaterial level, but that is exactly what happened.
A supermaterial (nonsexual) liaison of a male and a female member
of the corporeal staff resulted in the appearance of the first-born
of the primary midwayers.
77:1.3 It was immediately discovered that a creature of this
order, midway between the mortal and angelic levels, would be
of great service in carrying on the affairs of the Prince's
headquarters, and each couple of the corporeal staff was accordingly
granted permission to produce a similar being. This effort resulted
in the first group of fifty midway creatures.
77:1.4 After a year of observing the work of this unique group,
the Planetary Prince authorized the reproduction of midwayers
without restriction. This plan was carried out as long as the
power to create continued, and the original corps of 50,000
was accordingly brought into being.
77:1.5 A period of one-half year intervened between the production
of each midwayer, and when one thousand such beings had been
born to each couple, no more were ever forthcoming. And there
is no explanation available as to why this power was exhausted
upon the appearance of the one thousandth offspring. No amount
of further experimentation ever resulted in anything but failure.
77:1.6 These creatures constituted the intelligence corps of
the Prince's administration. They ranged far and wide, studying
and observing the world races and rendering other invaluable
services to the Prince and his staff in the work of influencing
human society remote from the planetary headquarters.
77:1.7 This regime continued until the tragic days of the planetary
rebellion, which ensnared a little over four fifths of the primary
midwayers. The loyal corps entered the service of the Melchizedek
receivers, functioning under the titular leadership of Van until
the days of Adam.

2. The Nodite Race
77:2.1 While this is the narrative of the
origin, nature, and function of the midway creatures of Urantia,
the kinship between the two orders-primary and secondary-makes
it necessary to interrupt the story of the primary midwayers
at this point in order to follow out the line of descent from
the rebel members of the corporeal staff of Prince Caligastia
from the days of the planetary rebellion to the times of Adam.
It was this line of inheritance which, in the early days of
the second garden, furnished one half of the ancestry for the
secondary order of midway creatures.
77:2.2 The physical members of the Prince's staff had been constituted
sex creatures for the purpose of participating in the plan of
procreating offspring embodying the combined qualities of their
special order united with those of the selected stock of the
Andon tribes, and all of this was in anticipation of the subsequent
appearance of Adam. The Life Carriers had planned a new type
of mortal embracing the union of the conjoint offspring of the
Prince's staff with the first-generation offspring of Adam and
Eve. They had thus projected a plan envisioning a new order
of planetary creatures whom they hoped would become the teacher-rulers
of human society. Such beings were designed for social sovereignty,
not civil sovereignty. But since this project almost completely
miscarried, we shall never know what an aristocracy of benign
leadership and matchless culture Urantia was thus deprived of.
For when the corporeal staff later reproduced, it was subsequent
to the rebellion and after they had been deprived of their connection
with the life currents of the system.
77:2.3 The postrebellion era on Urantia witnessed many unusual
happenings. A great civilization-the culture of Dalamatia-was
going to pieces. " The Nephilim (Nodites) were on earth
in those days, and when these sons of the gods went in to the
daughters of men and they bore to them, their children were
the `mighty men of old,' the `men of renown.' " While hardly
" sons of the gods, " the staff and their early descendants
were so regarded by the evolutionary mortals of those distant
days; even their stature came to be magnified by tradition.
This, then, is the origin of the well-nigh universal folk tale
of the gods who came down to earth and there with the daughters
of men begot an ancient race of heroes. And all this legend
became further confused with the race mixtures of the later
appearing Adamites in the second garden.
77:2.4 Since the one hundred corporeal members of the Prince's
staff carried germ plasm of the Andonic human strains, it would
naturally be expected that, if they engaged in sexual reproduction,
their progeny would altogether resemble the offspring of other
Andonite parents. But when the sixty rebels of the staff, the
followers of Nod, actually engaged in sexual reproduction, their
children proved to be far superior in almost every way to both
the Andonite and the Sangik peoples. This unexpected excellence
characterized not only physical and intellectual qualities but
also spiritual capacities.
77:2.5 These mutant traits appearing in the first Nodite generation
resulted from certain changes which had been wrought in the
configuration and in the chemical constituents of the inheritance
factors of the Andonic germ plasm. These changes were caused
by the presence in the bodies of the staff members of the powerful
life-maintenance circuits of the Satania system. These life
circuits caused the chromosomes of the specialized Urantia pattern
to reorganize more after the patterns of the standardized Satania
specialization of the ordained Nebadon life manifestation. The
technique of this germ plasm metamorphosis by the action of
the system life currents is not unlike those procedures whereby
Urantia scientists modify the germ plasm of plants and animals
by the use of X rays.
77:2.6 Thus did the Nodite peoples arise out of certain peculiar
and unexpected modifications occurring in the life plasm which
had been transferred from the bodies of the Andonite contributors
to those of the corporeal staff members by the Avalon surgeons.
77:2.7 It will be recalled that the one hundred Andonite germ
plasm contributors were in turn made possessors of the organic
complement of the tree of life so that the Satania life currents
likewise invested their bodies. The forty-four modified Andonites
who followed the staff into rebellion also mated among themselves
and made a great contribution to the better strains of the Nodite
people.
77:2.8 These two groups, embracing 104 individuals who carried
the modified Andonite germ plasm, constitute the ancestry of
the Nodites, the eighth race to appear on Urantia. And this
new feature of human life on Urantia represents another phase
of the outworking of the original plan of utilizing this planet
as a life-modification world, except that this was one of the
unforeseen developments.
77:2.9 The pure-line Nodites were a magnificent race, but they
gradually mingled with the evolutionary peoples of earth, and
before long great deterioration had occurred. Ten thousand years
after the rebellion they had lost ground to the point where
their average length of life was little more than that of the
evolutionary races.
77:2.10 When archaeologists dig up the clay-tablet records of
the later-day Sumerian descendants of the Nodites, they discover
lists of Sumerian kings running back for several thousand years;
and as these records go further back, the reigns of the individual
kings lengthen from around twenty-five or thirty years up to
one hundred and fifty years and more. This lengthening of the
reigns of these older kings signifies that some of the early
Nodite rulers (immediate descendants of the Prince's staff)
did live longer than their later-day successors and also indicates
an effort to stretch the dynasties back to Dalamatia.
77:2.11 The records of such long-lived individuals are also
due to the confusion of months and years as time periods. This
may also be observed in the Biblical genealogy of Abraham and
in the early records of the Chinese. The confusion of the twenty-eight-day
month, or season, with the later introduced year of more than
three hundred and fifty days is responsible for the traditions
of such long human lives. There are records of a man who lived
over nine hundred " years. " This period represents
not quite seventy years, and such lives were regarded for ages
as very long, " threescore years and ten " as such
a life span was later designated.
77:2.12 The reckoning of time by the twenty-eight-day month
persisted long after the days of Adam. But when the Egyptians
undertook to reform the calendar, about seven thousand years
ago, they did it with great accuracy, introducing the year of
365 days.

3. The Tower of Babel
77:3.1 After the submergence of Dalamatia
the Nodites moved north and east, presently founding the new
city of Dilmun as their racial and cultural headquarters. And
about fifty thousand years after the death of Nod, when the
offspring of the Prince's staff had become too numerous to find
subsistence in the lands immediately surrounding their new city
of Dilmun, and after they had reached out to intermarry with
the Andonite and Sangik tribes adjoining their borders, it occurred
to their leaders that something should be done to preserve their
racial unity. Accordingly a council of the tribes was called,
and after much deliberation the plan of Bablot, a descendant
of Nod, was indorsed.
77:3.2 Bablot proposed to erect a pretentious temple of racial
glorification at the center of their then occupied territory.
This temple was to have a tower the like of which the world
had never seen. It was to be a monumental memorial to their
passing greatness. There were many who wished to have this monument
erected in Dilmun, but others contended that such a great structure
should be placed a safe distance from the dangers of the sea,
remembering the traditions of the engulfment of their first
capital, Dalamatia.
77:3.3 Bablot planned that the new buildings should become the
nucleus of the future center of the Nodite culture and civilization.
His counsel finally prevailed, and construction was started
in accordance with his plans. The new city was to be named Bablot
after the architect and builder of the tower. This location
later became known as Bablod and eventually as Babel.
77:3.4 But the Nodites were still somewhat divided in sentiment
as to the plans and purposes of this undertaking. Neither were
their leaders altogether agreed concerning either construction
plans or usage of the buildings after they should be completed.
After four and one-half years of work a great dispute arose
about the object and motive for the erection of the tower: The
contentions became so bitter that all work stopped. The food
carriers spread the news of the dissension, and large numbers
of the tribes began to forgather at the building site. Three
differing views were propounded as to the purpose of building
the tower:
77:3.5. 1. The largest group, almost one half, desired to see
the tower built as a memorial of Nodite history and racial superiority.
They thought it ought to be a great and imposing structure which
would challenge the admiration of all future generations.
77:3.6. 2. The next largest faction wanted the tower designed
to commemorate the Dilmun culture. They foresaw that Bablot
would become a great center of commerce, art, and manufacture.
77:3.7. 3. The smallest and minority contingent held that the
erection of the tower presented an opportunity for making atonement
for the folly of their progenitors in participating in the Caligastia
rebellion. They maintained that the tower should be devoted
to the worship of the Father of all, that the whole purpose
of the new city should be to take the place of Dalamatia-to
function as the cultural and religious center for the surrounding
barbarians.
77:3.8 The religious group were promptly voted down. The majority
rejected the teaching that their ancestors had been guilty of
rebellion; they resented such a racial stigma. Having disposed
of one of the three angles to the dispute and failing to settle
the other two by debate, they fell to fighting. The religionists,
the noncombatants, fled to their homes in the south, while their
fellows fought until well-nigh obliterated.
77:3.9 About twelve thousand years ago a second attempt to erect
the tower of Babel was made. The mixed races of the Andites
(Nodites and Adamites) undertook to raise a new temple on the
ruins of the first structure, but there was not sufficient support
for the enterprise; it fell of its own pretentious weight. This
region was long known as the land of Babel.

4. Nodite Centers of Civilization
77:4.1 The dispersion of the Nodites was
an immediate result of the internecine conflict over the tower
of Babel. This internal war greatly reduced the numbers of the
purer Nodites and was in many ways responsible for their failure
to establish a great pre-Adamic civilization. From this time
on Nodite culture declined for over one hundred and twenty thousand
years until it was upstepped by Adamic infusion. But even in
the times of Adam the Nodites were still an able people. Many
of their mixed descendants were numbered among the Garden builders,
and several of Van's group captains were Nodites. Some of the
most capable minds serving on Adam's staff were of this race.
77:4.2 Three out of the four great Nodite centers were established
immediately following the Bablot conflict:
77:4.3. 1. The western or Syrian Nodites. The remnants of the
nationalistic or racial memorialists journeyed northward, uniting
with the Andonites to found the later Nodite centers to the
northwest of Mesopotamia. This was the largest group of the
dispersing Nodites, and they contributed much to the later appearing
Assyrian stock.
77:4.4. 2. The eastern or Elamite Nodites. The culture and commerce
advocates migrated in large numbers eastward into Elam and there
united with the mixed Sangik tribes. The Elamites of thirty
to forty thousand years ago had become largely Sangik in nature,
although they continued to maintain a civilization superior
to that of the surrounding barbarians.
77:4.5 After the establishment of the second garden it was customary
to allude to this near-by Nodite settlement as " the land
of Nod "; and during the long period of relative peace
between this Nodite group and the Adamites, the two races were
greatly blended, for it became more and more the custom for
the Sons of God (the Adamites) to intermarry with the daughters
of men (the Nodites).
77:4.6. 3. The central or pre-Sumerian Nodites. A small group
at the mouth of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers maintained more
of their racial integrity. They persisted for thousands of years
and eventually furnished the Nodite ancestry which blended with
the Adamites to found the Sumerian peoples of historic times.
77:4.7 And all this explains how the Sumerians appeared so suddenly
and mysteriously on the stage of action in Mesopotamia. Investigators
will never be able to trace out and follow these tribes back
to the beginning of the Sumerians, who had their origin two
hundred thousand years ago after the submergence of Dalamatia.
Without a trace of origin elsewhere in the world, these ancient
tribes suddenly loom upon the horizon of civilization with a
full-grown and superior culture, embracing temples, metalwork,
agriculture, animals, pottery, weaving, commercial law, civil
codes, religious ceremonial, and an old system of writing. At
the beginning of the historical era they had long since lost
the alphabet of Dalamatia, having adopted the peculiar writing
system originating in Dilmun. The Sumerian language, though
virtually lost to the world, was not Semitic; it had much in
common with the so-called Aryan tongues.
77:4.8 The elaborate records left by the Sumerians describe
the site of a remarkable settlement which was located on the
Persian Gulf near the earlier city of Dilmun. The Egyptians
called this city of ancient glory Dilmat, while the later Adamized
Sumerians confused both the first and second Nodite cities with
Dalamatia and called all three Dilmun. And already have archaeologists
found these ancient Sumerian clay tablets which tell of this
earthly paradise " where the Gods first blessed mankind
with the example of civilized and cultured life. " And
these tablets, descriptive of Dilmun, the paradise of men and
God, are now silently resting on the dusty shelves of many museums.
77:4.9 The Sumerians well knew of the first and second Edens
but, despite extensive intermarriage with the Adamites, continued
to regard the garden dwellers to the north as an alien race.
Sumerian pride in the more ancient Nodite culture led them to
ignore these later vistas of glory in favor of the grandeur
and paradisiacal traditions of the city of Dilmun.
77:4.10. 4. The northern Nodites and Amadonites-the Vanites.
This group arose prior to the Bablot conflict. These northernmost
Nodites were descendants of those who had forsaken the leadership
of Nod and his successors for that of Van and Amadon.
77:4.11 Some of the early associates of Van subsequently settled
about the shores of the lake which still bears his name, and
their traditions grew up about this locality. Ararat became
their sacred mountain, having much the same meaning to later-day
Vanites that Sinai had to the Hebrews. Ten thousand years ago
the Vanite ancestors of the Assyrians taught that their moral
law of seven commandments had been given to Van by the Gods
upon Mount Ararat. They firmly believed that Van and his associate
Amadon were taken alive from the planet while they were up on
the mountain engaged in worship.
77:4.12 Mount Ararat was the sacred mountain of northern Mesopotamia,
and since much of your tradition of these ancient times was
acquired in connection with the Babylonian story of the flood,
it is not surprising that Mount Ararat and its region were woven
into the later Jewish story of Noah and the universal flood.
77:4.13 About 35,000 B.C. Adamson visited one of the easternmost
of the old Vanite settlements to found his center of civilization.

5. Adamson and Ratta
77:5.1 Having delineated the Nodite antecedents
of the ancestry of the secondary midwayers, this narrative should
now give consideration to the Adamic half of their ancestry,
for the secondary midwayers are also the grandchildren of Adamson,
the first-born of the violet race of Urantia.
77:5.2 Adamson was among that group of the children of Adam
and Eve who elected to remain on earth with their father and
mother. Now this eldest son of Adam had often heard from Van
and Amadon the story of their highland home in the north, and
sometime after the establishment of the second garden he determined
to go in search of this land of his youthful dreams.
77:5.3 Adamson was 120 years old at this time and had been the
father of thirty-two pure-line children of the first garden.
He wanted to remain with his parents and assist them in upbuilding
the second garden, but he was greatly disturbed by the loss
of his mate and their children, who had all elected to go to
Edentia along with those other Adamic children who chose to
become wards of the Most Highs.
77:5.4 Adamson would not desert his parents on Urantia, he was
disinclined to flee from hardship or danger, but he found the
associations of the second garden far from satisfying. He did
much to forward the early activities of defense and construction
but decided to leave for the north at the earliest opportunity.
And though his departure was wholly pleasant, Adam and Eve were
much grieved to lose their eldest son, to have him go out into
a strange and hostile world, as they feared, never to return.
77:5.5 A company of twenty-seven followed Adamson northward
in quest of these people of his childhood fantasies. In a little
over three years Adamson's party actually found the object of
their adventure, and among these people he discovered a wonderful
and beautiful woman, twenty years old, who claimed to be the
last pure-line descendant of the Prince's staff. This woman,
Ratta, said that her ancestors were all descendants of two of
the fallen staff of the Prince. She was the last of her race,
having no living brothers or sisters. She had about decided
not to mate, had about made up her mind to die without issue,
but she lost her heart to the majestic Adamson. And when she
heard the story of Eden, how the predictions of Van and Amadon
had really come to pass, and as she listened to the recital
of the Garden default, she was encompassed with but a single
thought-to marry this son and heir of Adam. And quickly the
idea grew upon Adamson. In a little more than three months they
were married.
77:5.6 Adamson and Ratta had a family of sixty-seven children.
They gave origin to a great line of the world's leadership,
but they did something more. It should be remembered that both
of these beings were really superhuman. Every fourth child born
to them was of a unique order. It was often invisible. Never
in the world's history had such a thing occurred. Ratta was
greatly perturbed-even superstitious-but Adamson well knew of
the existence of the primary midwayers, and he concluded that
something similar was transpiring before his eyes. When the
second strangely behaving offspring arrived, he decided to mate
them, since one was male and the other female, and this is the
origin of the secondary order of midwayers. Within one hundred
years, before this phenomenon ceased, almost two thousand were
brought into being.
77:5.7 Adamson lived for 396 years. Many times he returned to
visit his father and mother. Every seven years he and Ratta
journeyed south to the second garden, and meanwhile the midwayers
kept him informed regarding the welfare of his people. During
Adamson's life they did great service in upbuilding a new and
independent world center for truth and righteousness.
77:5.8 Adamson and Ratta thus had at their command this corps
of marvelous helpers, who labored with them throughout their
long lives to assist in the propagation of advanced truth and
in the spread of higher standards of spiritual, intellectual,
and physical living. And the results of this effort at world
betterment never did become fully eclipsed by subsequent retrogressions.
77:5.9 The Adamsonites maintained a high culture for almost
seven thousand years from the times of Adamson and Ratta. Later
on they became admixed with the neighboring Nodites and Andonites
and were also included among the " mighty men of old. "
And some of the advances of that age persisted to become a latent
part of the cultural potential which later blossomed into European
civilization.
77:5.10 This center of civilization was situated in the region
east of the southern end of the Caspian Sea, near the Kopet
Dagh. A short way up in the foothills of Turkestan are the vestiges
of what was onetime the Adamsonite headquarters of the violet
race. In these highland sites, situated in a narrow and ancient
fertile belt lying in the lower foothills of the Kopet range,
there successively arose at various periods four diverse cultures
respectively fostered by four different groups of Adamson's
descendants. It was the second of these groups which migrated
westward to Greece and the islands of the Mediterranean. The
residue of Adamson's descendants migrated north and west to
enter Europe with the blended stock of the last Andite wave
coming out of Mesopotamia, and they were also numbered among
the Andite-Aryan invaders of India.

6. The Secondary Midwayers
77:6.1 While the primary midwayers had a
well-nigh superhuman origin, the secondary order are the offspring
of the pure Adamic stock united with a humanized descendant
of ancestors common to the parentage of the senior corps.
77:6.2 Among the children of Adamson there were just sixteen
of the peculiar progenitors of the secondary midwayers. These
unique children were equally divided as regards sex, and each
couple was capable of producing a secondary midwayer every seventy
days by a combined technique of sex and nonsex liaison. And
such a phenomenon was never possible on earth before that time,
nor has it ever occurred since.
77:6.3 These sixteen children lived and died (except for their
peculiarities) as mortals of the realm, but their electrically
energized offspring live on and on, not being subject to the
limitations of mortal flesh.
77:6.4 Each of the eight couples eventually produced 248 midwayers,
and thus did the original secondary corps¡ª1,984 in number¡ªcome
into existence. There are eight subgroups of secondary midwayers.
They are designated as A-B-C the first, second, third, and so
on. And then there are D-E-F the first, second, and so on.
77:6.5 After the default of Adam the primary midwayers returned
to the service of the Melchizedek receivers, while the secondary
group were attached to the Adamson center until his death. Thirty-three
of these secondary midwayers, the chiefs of their organization
at the death of Adamson, endeavored to swing the whole order
over to the service of the Melchizedeks, thus effecting a liaison
with the primary corps. But failing to accomplish this, they
deserted their companions and went over in a body to the service
of the planetary receivers.
77:6.6 After the death of Adamson the remainder of the secondary
midwayers became a strange, unorganized, and unattached influence
on Urantia. From that time to the days of Machiventa Melchizedek
they led an irregular and unorganized existence. They were partially
brought under control by this Melchizedek but were still productive
of much mischief up to the days of Christ Michael. And during
his sojourn on earth they all made final decisions as to their
future destiny, the loyal majority then enlisting under the
leadership of the primary midwayers.

7. The Rebel Midwayers
77:7.1 The majority of the primary midwayers
went into sin at the time of the Lucifer rebellion. When the
devastation of the planetary rebellion was reckoned up, among
other losses it was discovered that of the original 50,000,
40,119 had joined the Caligastia secession.
77:7.2 The original number of secondary midwayers was 1,984,
and of these 873 failed to align themselves with the rule of
Michael and were duly interned in connection with the planetary
adjudication of Urantia on the day of Pentecost. No one can
forecast the future of these fallen creatures.
77:7.3 Both groups of rebel midwayers are now held in custody
awaiting the final adjudication of the affairs of the system
rebellion. But they did many strange things on earth prior to
the inauguration of the present planetary dispensation.
77:7.4 These disloyal midwayers were able to reveal themselves
to mortal eyes under certain circumstances, and especially was
this true of the associates of Beelzebub, the leader of the
apostate secondary midwayers. But these unique creatures must
not be confused with certain of the rebel cherubim and seraphim
who also were on earth up to the time of Christ' s death and
resurrection. Some of the older writers designated these rebellious
midway creatures as evil spirits and demons, and the apostate
seraphim as evil angels.
77:7.5 On no world can evil spirits possess any mortal mind
subsequent to the life of a Paradise bestowal Son. But before
the days of Christ Michael on Urantia-before the universal coming
of the Thought Adjusters and the pouring out of the Master's
spirit upon all flesh-these rebel midwayers were actually able
to influence the minds of certain inferior mortals and somewhat
to control their actions. This was accomplished in much the
same way as the loyal midway creatures function when they serve
as efficient contact guardians of the human minds of the Urantia
reserve corps of destiny at those times when the Adjuster is,
in effect, detached from the personality during a season of
contact with superhuman intelligences.
77:7.6 It is no mere figure of speech when the record states:
" And they brought to Him all sorts of sick peoples, those
who were possessed by devils and those who were lunatics. "
Jesus knew and recognized the difference between insanity and
demoniacal possession, although these states were greatly confused
in the minds of those who lived in his day and generation.
77:7.7 Even prior to Pentecost no rebel spirit could dominate
a normal human mind, and since that day even the weak minds
of inferior mortals are free from such possibilities. The supposed
casting out of devils since the arrival of the Spirit of Truth
has been a matter of confounding a belief in demoniacal possession
with hysteria, insanity, and feeble-mindedness. But just because
Michael's bestowal has forever liberated all human minds on
Urantia from the possibility of demoniacal possession, do not
imagine that such was not a reality in former ages.
77:7.8 The entire group of rebel midwayers is at present held
prisoner by order of the Most Highs of Edentia. No more do they
roam this world on mischief bent. Regardless of the presence
of the Thought Adjusters, the pouring out of the Spirit of Truth
upon all flesh forever made it impossible for disloyal spirits
of any sort or description ever again to invade even the most
feeble of human minds. Since the day of Pentecost there never
again can be such a thing as demoniacal possession.

8. The United Midwayers
77:8.1 At the last adjudication of this
world, when Michael removed the slumbering survivors of time,
the midway creatures were left behind, left to assist in the
spiritual and semispiritual work on the planet. They now function
as a single corps, embracing both orders and numbering 10,992.
The United Midwayers of Urantia are at present governed alternately
by the senior member of each order. This regime has obtained
since their amalgamation into one group shortly after Pentecost.
77:8.2 The members of the older or primary order are generally
known by numerals; they are often given names such as 1-2-3
the first, 4-5-6 the first, and so on. On Urantia the Adamic
midwayers are designated alphabetically in order to distinguish
them from the numerical designation of the primary midwayers.
77:8.3 Both orders are nonmaterial beings as regards nutrition
and energy intake, but they partake of many human traits and
are able to enjoy and follow your humor as well as your worship.
When attached to mortals, they enter into the spirit of human
work, rest, and play. But midwayers do not sleep, neither do
they possess powers of procreation. In a certain sense the secondary
group are differentiated along the lines of maleness and femaleness,
often being spoken of as " he " or " she. "
They often work together in such pairs.
77:8.4 Midwayers are not men, neither are they angels, but secondary
midwayers are, in nature, nearer man than angel; they are, in
a way, of your races and are, therefore, very understanding
and sympathetic in their contact with human beings; they are
invaluable to the seraphim in their work for and with the various
races of mankind, and both orders are indispensable to the seraphim
who serve as personal guardians to mortals.
77:8.5 The United Midwayers of Urantia are organized for service
with the planetary seraphim in accordance with innate endowments
and acquired skills, in the following groups:
77:8.6. 1. Midway messengers. This group bear names; they are
a small corps and are of great assistance on an evolutionary
world in the service of quick and reliable personal communication.
77:8.7. 2. Planetary sentinels. Midwayers are the guardians,
the sentinels, of the worlds of space. They perform the import!ant
duties of observers for all the numerous phenomena and types
of communication which are of import! to the supernatural beings
of the realm. They patrol the invisible spirit realm of the
planet.
77:8.8.3 Contact personalities. In the contacts made with the
mortal beings of the material worlds, such as with the subject
through whom these communications were transmitted, the midway
creatures are always employed. They are an essential factor
in such liaisons of the spiritual and the material levels.
77:8.9. 4. Progress helpers. These are the more spiritual of
the midway creatures, and they are distributed as assistants
to the various orders of seraphim who function in special groups
on the planet.
77:8.10 Midwayers vary greatly in their abilities to make contact
with the seraphim above and with their human cousins below.
It is exceedingly difficult, for instance, for the primary midwayers
to make direct contact with material agencies. They are considerably
nearer the angelic type of being and are therefore usually assigned
to working with, and ministering to, the spiritual forces resident
on the planet. They act as companions and guides for celestial
visitors and student sojourners, whereas the secondary creatures
are almost exclusively attached to the ministry of the material
beings of the realm.
77:8.11 The 1,111 loyal secondary midwayers are engaged in import!ant
missions on earth. As compared with their primary associates,
they are decidedly material. They exist just outside the range
of mortal vision and possess sufficient latitude of adaptation
to make, at will, physical contact with what humans call "
material things. " These unique creatures have certain
definite powers over the things of time and space, not excepting
the beasts of the realm.
77:8.12 Many of the more literal phenomena ascribed to angels
have been performed by the secondary midway creatures. When
the early teachers of the gospel of Jesus were thrown into prison
by the ignorant religious leaders of that day, an actual "
angel of the Lord " " by night opened the prison doors
and brought them forth. " But in the case of Peter's deliverance
after the killing of James by Herod's order, it was a secondary
midwayer who performed the work ascribed to an angel.
77:8.13 Their chief work today is that of unperceived personal-liaison
associates of those men and women who constitute the planetary
reserve corps of destiny. It was the work of this secondary
group, ably seconded by certain of the primary corps, that brought
about the co-ordination of personalities and circumstances on
Urantia which finally induced the planetary celestial supervisors
to initiate those petitions that resulted in the granting of
the mandates making possible the series of revelations of which
this presentation is a part. But it should be made clear that
the midway creatures are not involved in the sordid performances
taking place under the general designation of " spiritualism.
" The midwayers at present on Urantia, all of whom are
of honorable standing, are not connected with the phenomena
of so-called " mediumship "; and they do not, ordinarily,
permit humans to witness their sometimes necessary physical
activities or other contacts with the material world, as they
are perceived by human senses.

9. The Permanent Citizens of Urantia
77:9.1 Midwayers may be regarded as the
first group of the permanent inhabitants to be found on the
various orders of worlds throughout the universes in contrast
with evolutionary ascenders like the mortal creatures and the
angelic hosts. Such permanent citizens are encountered at various
points in the Paradise ascent.
77:9.2 Unlike the various orders of celestial beings who are
assigned to minister on a planet, the midwayers live on an inhabited
world. The seraphim come and go, but the midway creatures remain
and will remain, albeit they are nonetheless ministers for being
natives of the planet, and they provide the one continuing regime
which harmonizes and connects the changing administrations of
the seraphic hosts.
77:9.3 As actual citizens of Urantia, the midwayers have a kinship
interest in the destiny of this sphere. They are a determined
association, persistently working for the progress of their
native planet. Their determination is suggested by the motto
of their order: " What the United Midwayers undertake,
the United Midwayers do. "
77:9.4 Although their ability to traverse the energy circuits
makes planetary departure feasible to any midwayer, they have
individually pledged themselves not to leave the planet prior
to their sometime release by the universe authorities. Midwayers
are anchored on a planet until the ages of settled light and
life. With the exception of 1-2-3 the first, no loyal midway
creatures have ever departed from Urantia.
77:9.5 1-2-3 the first, the eldest of the primary order, was
released from immediate planetary duties shortly after Pentecost.
This noble midwayer stood steadfast with Van and Amadon during
the tragic days of the planetary rebellion, and his fearless
leadership was instrumental in reducing the casualties in his
order. He serves at present on Jerusem as a member of the twenty-four
counselors, having already functioned as governor general of
Urantia once since Pentecost.
77:9.6 Midwayers are planet bound, but much as mortals talk
with travelers from afar and thus learn about remote places
on the planet, so do midwayers converse with celestial travelers
to learn about the far places of the universe. So do they become
conversant with this system and universe, even with Orvonton
and its sister creations, and so do they prepare themselves
for citizenship on the higher levels of creature existence.
77:9.7 While the midwayers were brought into existence fully
developed-experiencing no period of growth or development from
immaturity-they never cease to grow in wisdom and experience.
Like mortals they are evolutionary creatures, and they have
a culture which is a bona fide evolutionary attainment. There
are many great minds and mighty spirits among the Urantia midway
corps.
77:9.8 In the larger aspect the civilization of Urantia is the
joint product of the Urantia mortals and the Urantia midwayers,
and this is true despite the present differential between the
two levels of culture, a differential which will not be compensated
prior to the ages of light and life.
77:9.9 The midway culture, being the product of an immortal
planetary citizenry, is relatively immune to those temporal
vicissitudes which beset human civilization. The generations
of men forget; the corps of midwayers remembers, and that memory
is the treasure house of the traditions of your inhabited world.
Thus does the culture of a planet remain ever present on that
planet, and in proper circumstances such treasured memories
of past events are made available, even as the story of the
life and teachings of Jesus has been given by the midwayers
of Urantia to their cousins in the flesh.
77:9.10 Midwayers are the skillful ministers who compensate
that gap between the material and spiritual affairs of Urantia
which appeared upon the death of Adam and Eve. They are likewise
your elder brethren, comrades in the long struggle to attain
a settled status of light and life on Urantia. The United Midwayers
are a rebellion-tested corps, and they will faithfully enact
their part in planetary evolution until this world attains the
goal of the ages, until that distant day when in fact peace
does reign on earth and in truth is there good will in the hearts
of men.
77:9.11 Because of the valuable work performed by these midwayers,
we have concluded that they are a truly essential part of the
spirit economy of the realms. And where rebellion has not marred
a planet's affairs, they are of still greater assistance to
the seraphim.
77:9.12 The entire organization of high spirits, angelic hosts,
and midway fellows is enthusiastically devoted to the furtherance
of the Paradise plan for the progressive ascension and perfection
attainment of evolutionary mortals, one of the supernal businesses
of the universe-the superb survival plan of bringing God down
to man and then, by a sublime sort of partnership, carrying
man up to God and on to eternity of service and divinity of
attainment-alike for mortal and midwayer.
77:9.13 [Presented by an Archangel of Nebadon.]
