THE PLANETARY REBELLION
POGLAVLJE 67 : PLANETARNA POBUNA
1955 67:0.1 THE problems associated with human existence on Urantia are impossible of understanding without a knowledge of certain great epochs of the past, notably the occurrence and consequences of the planetary rebellion. Although this upheaval did not seriously interfere with the progress of organic evolution, it did markedly modify the course of social evolution and of spiritual development. The entire superphysical history of the planet was profoundly influenced by this devastating calamity.
2014 67:0.1 PROBLEMI koji prate ljudsku egzistenciju na Urantiji nisu shvatljivi ako se ne razmotre izvjesna jako bitna razdoblja prošlosti, osobito povijest i posljedice planetarne pobune. Premda se ovaj ustanak nije bitnije odrazio na proces organske evolucije, on je uveliko izmijenio tijek društvene evolucije i duhovnog razvoja. Radi ove užasne katastrofe, uveliko je izmjijenjena cijela nadfizička povijest vašeg svijeta.
¶ 1. KALIGASTIJINA IZDAJA
1. THE CALIGASTIA BETRAYAL
1. KALIGASTIJINA IZDAJA
1955 67:1.1 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 of light.”
2014 67:1.1 Tijekom više od tri stotine tisuća godina, Kaligastija je upravljao Urantijom kad je Satan, Luciferov pomoćnik, obavio jednu od svojih redovnih inspekcija. I kad je Satan stigao na planet, njegova pojava nije ni najmanje naličila vašim izobličenim prikazima njegovog opakog veličanstva. On je bio, i još uvijek jeste, izvanredni Sin Lanonandek. " I nije ni čudo, jer je sam Satan veličanstveno biće svjetla
[1]."
1955 67:1.2 In the course of this inspection Satan informed Caligastia of Lucifer’s then proposed “Declaration of Liberty,” and as we now know, the Prince agreed to betray the planet upon the announcement of the rebellion. The loyal universe personalities look with peculiar disdain upon Prince Caligastia because of this premeditated betrayal of trust. The Creator Son voiced this contempt when he said: “You are like your leader, Lucifer, and you have sinfully perpetuated his iniquity. He was a falsifier from the beginning of his self-exaltation because he abode not in the truth.”
2014 67:1.2 Prilikom ove inspekcije, Satan je upoznao Kaligastiju s Luciferovom "Deklaracijom Nezavisnosti" i kako je danas poznato, Knez je pristao izdati svoj planet pri proglasu pobune. Odane kozmičke ličnosti promatraju Kneza Kaligastiju s naročitim prezirom radi ove predumišljene izdaje dužnosti. Sin Stvoritelj je izrazio ovaj prezir kad je rekao: "Vi ste kao vaš vođa, Lucifer, po tome što ste grešno prihvatili njegov nitkovluk. On bijaše varalica od kad je samog sebe počeo uzdizati jer nije stajao čvrsto u istini[2]."
1955 67:1.3 In all the administrative work of a local universe no high trust is deemed more sacred than that reposed in a Planetary Prince who assumes responsibility for the welfare and guidance of the evolving mortals on a newly inhabited world. And of all forms of evil, none are more destructive of personality status than betrayal of trust and disloyalty to one’s confiding friends. In committing this deliberate sin, Caligastia so completely distorted his personality that his mind has never since been able fully to regain its equilibrium.
2014 67:1.3 Od svih administrativnih dužnosti lokalnog svemira, ni jedan se visoki položaj ne smatra svetijim od položaja Planetarnog Kneza, koji preuzima odgovornost za osiguranje dobrobiti i uprave nad evoluirajućim smrtnicima novonaseljenog svijeta. I od svih oblika zla, ni jedan ne uništava status ličnosti kao što to čini pronevjera povjerenja i odanosti vlastitih prijatelja. Svjesno počinivši ovaj grijeh, Kaligastija je tako cjelovito uništio svoju ličnost da njegov um nikad zatim nije bio u stanju posve povratiti ravnotežu.
1955 67:1.4 There are many ways of looking at sin, but from the universe philosophic viewpoint sin is the attitude of a personality who is knowingly resisting cosmic reality. Error might be regarded as a misconception or distortion of reality. Evil is a partial realization of, or maladjustment to, universe realities. But sin is a purposeful resistance to divine reality—a conscious choosing to oppose spiritual progress—while iniquity consists in an open and persistent defiance of recognized reality and signifies such a degree of personality disintegration as to border on cosmic insanity.
2014 67:1.4 Grijeh se može promatrati na više načina, dok sa stanovišta kozmičke filozofije predstavlja stav ličnosti koja se svjesno opire kozmičkoj stvarnosti. Greška se može smatrati rezultatom nesporazuma ili izobličenjastvarnosti. Zlo predstavlja bilo nepotpunu spoznaju kozmičkih stvarnosti ili nesposobnost usklađenja ovim stvarnostima. Grijeh, međutim, predstavlja hotimičan otpor božanskoj stvarnosti--svjesnu odluku bića da se suprotstavi duhovnom napretku--dok se nitkovluk sastoji od otvorenog i upornog prkosa prepoznatoj stvarnosti i označava toliku mjeru razjedinjenja ličnosti da graniči na kozmičkom ludilu.
1955 67:1.5 Error suggests lack of intellectual keenness; evil, deficiency of wisdom; sin, abject spiritual poverty; but iniquity is indicative of vanishing personality control.
2014 67:1.5 Greška govori o nedostatku intelektualne pronicljivosti, zlo o nedostatku mudrosti, grijeh o najnižem duhovnom siromaštvu, dok nitkovluk ukazuje na gubitak konotrole ličnosti.
1955 67:1.6 And when sin has so many times been chosen and so often been repeated, it may become habitual. Habitual sinners can easily become iniquitous, become wholehearted rebels against the universe and all of its divine realities. While all manner of sins may be forgiven, we doubt whether the established iniquiter would ever sincerely experience sorrow for his misdeeds or accept forgiveness for his sins.
2014 67:1.6 I nakon što biće više puta odabere i ponovi grijeh, grijeh može postati navikom. Osobe koje se naviknu na grijeh lako mogu postati nitkovima, svesrdnim pobunjenicima protiv kozmosa i svih njegovih božanskih stvarnosti. Dok je moguće oprostiti mnoge oblike grijeha, teško je vjerovati da bi se okorjeli nitkov ikad mogao iskreno pokajati za svoja zlodjela ili prihvatiti oproštenje.
¶ 2. POČETAK POBUNE
2. THE OUTBREAK OF REBELLION
2. POČETAK POBUNE
1955 67:2.1 Shortly after Satan’s inspection and when the planetary administration was on the eve of the realization of great things on Urantia, one day, midwinter of the northern continents, Caligastia held a prolonged conference with his associate, Daligastia, after which the latter called the ten councils of Urantia in session extraordinary. This assembly was opened with the statement that Prince Caligastia was about to proclaim himself absolute sovereign of Urantia and demanded that all administrative groups abdicate by resigning all of their functions and powers into the hands of Daligastia as trustee, pending the reorganization of the planetary government and the subsequent redistribution of these offices of administrative authority.
2014 67:2.1 Nedugo nakon Satanove inspekcije i upravo kad je Urantija trebala posvjedočiti ostvarenje velikog uspjeha planetarne administracije, jednog dana koji se prema klimatskim uvjetima sjevernih podneblja dogodio na početku zime, Kaligastija je održao dugo vijećanje sa svojim suradnikom Daligastijom, nakon čega je Daligastijasazvao vanrednu sjednicu svih deset vijeća Urantije. Ovaj je skup otvoren najavom Kneza Kaligastije da će se proglasiti apsolutnim vladarom Urantije i njegovim zahtijevom da se članovi svih administrativnih grupa povuku s položaja i predaju sve upravne moći u ruke povjerenika Daligastije, sve dok se ne uspostavi nova organizacija planetarne vlasti i nova podjela ovih položaja administrativne uprave.
1955 67:2.2 The presentation of this astounding demand was followed by the masterly appeal of Van, chairman of the supreme council of co-ordination. This distinguished administrator and able jurist branded the proposed course of Caligastia as an act bordering on planetary rebellion and appealed to his conferees to abstain from all participation until an appeal could be taken to Lucifer, the System Sovereign of Satania; and he won the support of the entire staff. Accordingly, appeal was taken to Jerusem, and forthwith came back the orders designating Caligastia as supreme sovereign on Urantia and commanding absolute and unquestioning allegiance to his mandates. And it was in reply to this amazing message that the noble Van made his memorable address of seven hours’ length in which he formally drew his indictment of Daligastia, Caligastia, and Lucifer as standing in contempt of the sovereignty of the universe of Nebadon; and he appealed to the Most Highs of Edentia for support and confirmation.
2014 67:2.2 Za ovim je zapanjujućim zahtijevom uslijedio snažan prosvjed Vana, predsjedatelja vrhovnog vijeća koordinacije. Ovaj je istaknuti administrativni upravitelj i vješti pravnik označio Kaligastijin plan kao čin koji je graničio na planetarnoj pobuni, te je uputio poziv prisutnima da se suspregnu od svakog učešća u ovom planu dok se ne podnese tužba Luciferu, Sistemskom Vladaru Satanije; i Van je zadobio podršku cijelog osoblja. Prema tome, upućena je tužba Jeruzemu, za kojom je uslijedila naredba da Kaligastija bude prihvaćen kao vrhovni vladar Urantije i da sva bića iskažu apsolutnu i svesrdnu odanost njegovim zapovijedima. I kao odgovor na ovučudnovatu poruku, plemeniti je Van iznio svoj slavni sedmočasovni govor kojim je službeno optužio Daligastiju, Kaligastiju i Lucifera kao ličnosti vrijedne prezira cijelog svemira Nebadona; i zatražio je potporu i pomoć od Višnjih Edentije.
1955 67:2.3 Meantime the system circuits had been severed; Urantia was isolated. Every group of celestial life on the planet found itself suddenly and without warning isolated, utterly cut off from all outside counsel and advice.
2014 67:2.3 U međuvremenu su presječeni sistemski krugovi; Urantija je izolirana. Nenadano i bez upozorenja, izolirane su sve grupe nebeskih bića koje su se zatekle na planetu, doslovce izgubivši svaku priliku da prime savjet izvana.
1955 67:2.4 Daligastia formally proclaimed Caligastia “God of Urantia and supreme over all.” With this proclamation before them, the issues were clearly drawn; and each group drew off by itself and began deliberations, discussions destined eventually to determine the fate of every superhuman personality on the planet.
1955 67:2.5 Seraphim and cherubim and other celestial beings were involved in the decisions of this bitter struggle, this long and sinful conflict. Many superhuman groups that chanced to be on Urantia at the time of its isolation were detained here and, like the seraphim and their associates, were compelled to choose between sin and righteousness—between the ways of Lucifer and the will of the unseen Father.
2014 67:2.5 Serafi, kerubi i druga nebeska bića koja su postala dijelom pobune, morala su odabrati pojedinačne pozicije u ovoj teškoj borbi, ovom dugom i grešnom sukobu. Mnoge nadljudske grupe koje su se pri izolaciji slučajno zatekle na Urantiji--kao naprimjerserafi i njihovi suradnici--bile su primorane tu ostati i odabrati između grijeha i ispravnosti-- između Luciferove volje i volje neviđenog Oca.
1955 67:2.6 For more than seven years this struggle continued. Not until every personality concerned had made a final decision, would or did the authorities of Edentia interfere or intervene. Not until then did Van and his loyal associates receive vindication and release from their prolonged anxiety and intolerable suspense.
2014 67:2.6 Ova je bitka trajala više od sedam godina. Vlasti Edentije se nisu htjele umiješati ili intervenirati sve dok i posljednja ličnost nije donijela svoju konačnu odluku. Sve do tog časa, Van i njegovi odani suradnici nisu primili bilo podršku ili oslobođenje od svoje dugotrajne tjeskobe i neizrecive neizvjesnosti.
¶ 3. SEDAM ODSUDNIH GODINA
3. THE SEVEN CRUCIAL YEARS
3. SEDAM ODSUDNIH GODINA
1955 67:3.1 The outbreak of rebellion on Jerusem, the capital of Satania, was broadcast by the Melchizedek council. The emergency Melchizedeks were immediately dispatched to Jerusem, and Gabriel volunteered to act as the representative of the Creator Son, whose authority had been challenged. With this broadcast of the fact of rebellion in Satania the system was isolated, quarantined, from her sister systems. There was “war in heaven,” the headquarters of Satania, and it spread to every planet in the local system.
2014 67:3.1 Na Jeruzemu, glavnom centru Satanije, vijeće Melkizedeka je saopćilo vijesti o početku pobune. Na Jeruzem su smjesta odaslani Melkizedeci koji služe u kriznim situacijama, dok se Gabrijel javio kao predstavnik Sina Stvoritelja, čija je vlast dovedena u pitanje. Istog časa kad je saopćena vijest da je Satanija zahvaćena pobunom, ovaj je sistem smjesta izoliran od drugih sistema-- stavljen u karantenu. Bio je to "rat na nebesima "-- glavnom centru Satanije--koji se proširio na sve planete lokalnog sistema[4].
1955 67:3.2 On Urantia forty members of the corporeal staff of one hundred (including Van) refused to join the insurrection. Many of the staff’s human assistants (modified and otherwise) were also brave and noble defenders of Michael and his universe government. There was a terrible loss of personalities among seraphim and cherubim. Almost one half of the administrator and transition seraphim assigned to the planet joined their leader and Daligastia in support of the cause of Lucifer. Forty thousand one hundred and nineteen of the primary midway creatures joined hands with Caligastia, but the remainder of these beings remained true to their trust.
2014 67:3.2 Od stotinu članova utjelovljenog osoblja koji su boravili na Urantiji, četrdeset (uključujući Vana) je odbilo sudjelovati u pobuni. Veći je broj ljudi (modificiranih i nemodificiranih) koji su služili kao pomoćnici utjelovljenog osoblja hrabro i plemenito prišao obrani Mihaela i njegove kozmičke vlasti. Serafi i kerubi su izgubili velik broj ličnosti. Gotovo polovica administrativnih i prijevoznih serafa koja je služila na planetu odlučila je poći za svojim vođom i Daligastijom i stati na stranu Lucifera. Četrdeset tisuća stotinu devetnaest primarnih međubića je prišlo Kaligastiji, dok je ostatak ostao vjeran svojoj dužnosti.
1955 67:3.3 The traitorous Prince marshaled the disloyal midway creatures and other groups of rebel personalities and organized them to execute his bidding, while Van assembled the loyal midwayers and other faithful groups and began the great battle for the salvation of the planetary staff and other marooned celestial personalities.
2014 67:3.3 Izdajnički je Knez uspostavio kontrolu kad nevjernim međubićima i drugim grupama pobunjeničkih ličnosti od kojih je tražio poslušnost, dok je Van okupio odana međubića i druge vjerne grupe i započeo slavnu bitku za spasenje planetarnog osoblja i drugih izoliranih nebeskih ličnosti.
1955 67:3.4 During the times of this struggle the loyalists dwelt in an unwalled and poorly protected settlement a few miles to the east of Dalamatia, but their dwellings were guarded day and night by the alert and ever-watchful loyal midway creatures, and they had possession of the priceless tree of life.
2014 67:3.4 Odane su se ličnosti tijekom borbe smjestile u otvorenom i slabo zaštićenom logoru koji se nalazio istočno od Dalamatije, dok su međubića u svako doba dana i noći budno i smotreno čuvala stražu kako nad logorom tako i nad neprocjenjivim drvetom života.
1955 67:3.5 Upon the outbreak of rebellion, loyal cherubim and seraphim, with the aid of three faithful midwayers, assumed the custody of the tree of life and permitted only the forty loyalists of the staff and their associated modified mortals to partake of the fruit and leaves of this energy plant. There were fifty-six of these modified Andonite associates of the staff, sixteen of the Andonite attendants of the disloyal staff refusing to go into rebellion with their masters.
2014 67:3.5 Na samom početku pobune, zajedno s tri vjerna međubića, odani kerubi i serafi su preuzeli stražu nad drvetom života, dozvolivši jedino četrdesetorici odanih članova osoblja i njihovim modificiranim smrtničkim pomoćnicima da se posluže plodom i listom ove energetske biljke. Ova je grupa brojila pedeset šest modificiranih Andonita, negdašnjih suradnika Knezovog osoblja, kako je šesnaest andonitskih pomoćnika nevjernog osoblja odbilo prići svojim starješinama.
1955 67:3.6 Throughout the seven crucial years of the Caligastia rebellion, Van was wholly devoted to the work of ministry to his loyal army of men, midwayers, and angels. The spiritual insight and moral steadfastness which enabled Van to maintain such an unshakable attitude of loyalty to the universe government was the product of clear thinking, wise reasoning, logical judgment, sincere motivation, unselfish purpose, intelligent loyalty, experiential memory, disciplined character, and the unquestioning dedication of his personality to the doing of the will of the Father in Paradise.
2014 67:3.6 Tijekom sedam odsudnih godina Kaligastijine pobune, Van je bio posve odan služenju svojoj odanoj vojsci koja se sastojala od ljudi, međubića i anđela. Duhovni uvid i moralna postojanost zahvaljujući kojima je Van bio u stanju održati svoju nepokolebljivu odanost kozmičkoj vlasti predstavljaju rezultat bistrog razmišljanja, mudrog prosuđivanja, logičnog suda, iskrene motivacije, nesebičnih namjera, inteligentne odanosti, iskustvenih sjećanja, discipliniranog karaktera i cjelovite odanosti njegove ličnosti izvršenju volje Rajskog Oca.
1955 67:3.7 This seven years of waiting was a time of heart searching and soul discipline. Such crises in the affairs of a universe demonstrate the tremendous influence of mind as a factor in spiritual choosing. Education, training, and experience are factors in most of the vital decisions of all evolutionary moral creatures. But it is entirely possible for the indwelling spirit to make direct contact with the decision-determining powers of the human personality so as to empower the fully consecrated will of the creature to perform amazing acts of loyal devotion to the will and the way of the Father in Paradise. And this is just what occurred in the experience of Amadon, the modified human associate of Van.
2014 67:3.7 Ovih je sedam godina čekanja prošlo u samoanalizi i samodisciplini. Činjenica da pri izvršenju kozmičkih poslova mogu nastupiti ovakva krizna razdoblja ukazuje na ogroman značaj uma pri duhovnom odlučivanju. Obrazovanje, obuka i iskustvo učestvuju u većini bitnih odluka evolucijskih smrtnika. Ali duh koji živi u čovjeku istinski može upostaviti neposredan kontakt sa silama ljudske ličnosti koje su posvećene donošenju odluka, te na taj način osnažiti potpuno predanu volju stvorenog bića do to mjere da ona postaje sposobna izvršiti nevjerojatna djela odane predanosti volji i putu Rajskog Oca. I upravo ovo se dogodilo u iskustvu Amadona, modificiranog ljudskog bića i Vanovog suradnika.
1955 67:3.8 Amadon is the outstanding human hero of the Lucifer rebellion. This male descendant of Andon and Fonta was one of the one hundred who contributed life plasm to the Prince’s staff, and ever since that event he had been attached to Van as his associate and human assistant. Amadon elected to stand with his chief throughout the long and trying struggle. And it was an inspiring sight to behold this child of the evolutionary races standing unmoved by the sophistries of Daligastia while throughout the seven-year struggle he and his loyal associates resisted with unyielding fortitude all of the deceptive teachings of the brilliant Caligastia.
2014 67:3.8 Amadon je bio izvanredni čovjek koji se pokazao herojem Luciferove pobune. Kao muški potomak Andona i Fonte, Amadon je pripadao grupi od stotinu članova koji su dali životnu plazmu Knezovom osoblju, nakon čega je pripojen Vanu kao njegov suradnik i pomoćnik. Amadon se odlučio pridružiti svome pretpostavljenom u toku ove duge i mukotrpne borbe. I bilo je jako inspirativno vidjeti da ovaj potomak evolucijskih rasa nije podlijegao Daligastijinoj sofisteriji i da su se za ovih sedam burnih godina Amadon i njegovi odani suradnici s neumoljivom hrabrošću oduprli svim zavodljivim učenjima izvanrednog Kaligastije.
1955 67:3.9 Caligastia, with a maximum of intelligence and a vast experience in universe affairs, went astray—embraced sin. Amadon, with a minimum of intelligence and utterly devoid of universe experience, remained steadfast in the service of the universe and in loyalty to his associate. Van utilized both mind and spirit in a magnificent and effective combination of intellectual determination and spiritual insight, thereby achieving an experiential level of personality realization of the highest attainable order. Mind and spirit, when fully united, are potential for the creation of superhuman values, even morontia realities.
2014 67:3.9 Premda je imao najvišu inteligenciju i ogromno iskustvo u kozmičkim aktivnostima, Kaligastija je skrenuo s puta--poveo se za zlom. Premda je imao najnižu inteligenciju i gotovo ni malo kozmičkog iskustva, Amadon je ostao nepokolebljivo vjeran svojoj službi kozmosu i odanosti svome suradniku. Van se poslužio kako umom tako i duhom, načinivši izvanredan i djelotvoran spoj intelektualne odlučnosti i duhovnog uvida, čime je postigao najvišu moguću iskustvenu razinu ostvarenja ličnosti. Kad se potpuno sjedine, um i duh mogu stvoriti nadljudske vrijednosti, čak i morontija stvarnosti.
1955 67:3.10 There is no end to the recital of the stirring events of these tragic days. But at last the final decision of the last personality was made, and then, but only then, did a Most High of Edentia arrive with the emergency Melchizedeks to seize authority on Urantia. The Caligastia panoramic reign-records on Jerusem were obliterated, and the probationary era of planetary rehabilitation was inaugurated.
2014 67:3.10 Nema konca priči o uzbudljivim događajima ovog tragičnog razdoblja. Ali s vremenom je svaka ličnost donijela konačnu odluku i tada--jedino tada--Višnji Edentije su stigli na Urantiju kako bi preuzeli vlast zajedno s Malkizedecima koji djeluju u kriznim situacijama. Svi podaci o Kaligastijinoj upravi su izbrisani iz jeruzalemske baze podataka; započelo je novo ispitno doba planetarnog oporavka.
¶ 4. KALIGASTIJINA STOTINKA NAKON POBUNE
4. THE CALIGASTIA ONE HUNDRED AFTER REBELLION
4. KALIGASTIJINA STOTINKA NAKON POBUNE
1955 67:4.1 When the final roll was called, the corporeal members of the Prince’s staff were found to have aligned themselves as follows: Van and his entire court of co-ordination had remained loyal. Ang and three members of the food council had survived. The board of animal husbandry were all swept into rebellion as were all of the animal-conquest advisers. Fad and five members of the educational faculty were saved. Nod and all of the commission on industry and trade joined Caligastia. Hap and the entire college of revealed religion remained loyal with Van and his noble band. Lut and the whole board of health were lost. The council of art and science remained loyal in its entirety, but Tut and the commission on tribal government all went astray. Thus were forty out of the one hundred saved, later to be transferred to Jerusem, where they resumed their Paradise journey.
2014 67:4.1 Uoči posljednje prozivke, pokazalo se da su se utjelovljeni članovi Knezovog osoblja podijelili na slijedeći način: Van je ostao vjeran zajedno sa cijelim komunikacijskim vijećem. Ang i tri člana prehrambenog vijeća su ostali u životu. Svi članovi stočarskog vijeća su se pridružili redovima pobunjenika, što je bio slučaj i sa savjetodavnim vijećem za pripitomljenje životinja. Spašeni su Fad i pet članova obrazovnog osoblja. Nod i cijela industrijsko-trgovinska komisija je prišla Kaligastiji. Hap i svo osoblje škole obznanjene religije je ostalo odano Vanu i njegovoj plemenitoj grupi. Izgubljeni su Lut i cijelo ministarstvo zdravstva. Cijelo umjetničko-znanstveno vijeće je ostalo vjerno, dok su Tut i njegova komisija plemenske uprave skrenuli s puta. Od ove je stotinke preživjelo četrdeset osoba koje su zatim prenesene na Jeruzem, gdje su nastavile svoj put prema Raju.
1955 67:4.2 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 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 later. After the fall of Dalamatia the disloyal staff migrated to the north and the east. Their descendants were long known as the Nodites, and their dwelling place as “the land of Nod.”
2014 67:4.2 Šezdeset članova planetarnog osoblja koji su prišli pobunjenicima odabralo je Noda za svog vladara. Svesrdno su se zalagali za izdajničkog Kneza, premda su uskoro ustanovili da nisu imali hranljivih sastojaka sistemskih krugova života. Pogodilo ih je saznanje da su time uniženi do smrtničkog statusa. Premda su uistinu imali nadljudsku narav, istodobno su bili materijalni i smrtni. Nastojeći uvećati svoje redove, Daligastija je naredio da se svi smjesta posvete seksualnom razmnožavanju, dobro znajući da je izvornih šezdeset članova zajedno s njihova četrdeset četiri modificirana andonitska suradnika prije ili kasnije bilo osuđeno na smrt. Nakon pada Dalamatije, nevjerno se osoblje preselilo prema sjeveru i istoku. Njihovi potomci su dugo bili poznati kao Noditi, a njihovo prebivalište kao "zemlja Noda[5]."
1955 67:4.3 The presence of these extraordinary supermen and superwomen, stranded by rebellion and presently mating with the sons and daughters of earth, easily gave origin to those traditional stories of the gods coming down to mate with mortals. And thus originated the thousand and one legends of a mythical nature, but founded on the facts of the postrebellion days, which later found a place in the folk tales and traditions of the various peoples whose ancestors had participated in these contacts with the Nodites and their descendants.
2014 67:4.3 Prisutnost ovih izvanrednih muškaraca i žena nadljudske naravi, koji su vlastitim učešćem u pobuni osuđeni na zemaljski život, a koji su vremenom počeli sklapati brakove sa sinovima i kćerkama Urantije, uskoro je dala povoda tradicionalnim predanjima o tome kako su bogovi došli na zemlju kako bi stupili u odnos s ljudima. I tako su nastale tisuće mitičkihpredanja koja vuku porijeklo iz ovog razdoblja neposredno nakon pobune, koja su ušla u sastav predanja i tradicija različitih naroda čiji su preci sudjelovali u ovom dodiru s Noditima i njihovim potomcima.
1955 67:4.4 The staff rebels, deprived of spiritual sustenance, eventually died a natural death. And much of the subsequent idolatry of the human races grew out of the desire to perpetuate the memory of these highly honored beings of the days of Caligastia.
2014 67:4.4 Izgubivši hranljive duhovne sastojke, pobunjeno je osoblje vremenom umrloprirodnom smrću. I velik dio skorijeg idolotarstva ljudskog roda vuče porijeko od čovjekove želje da ovjekovječi sjećanja na ova visoko poštovana bića iz Kaligastijinog doba.
1955 67:4.5 When the staff of one hundred came to Urantia, they were temporarily detached from their Thought Adjusters. Immediately upon the arrival of the Melchizedek receivers the loyal personalities (except Van) were returned to Jerusem and were reunited with their waiting Adjusters. We know not the fate of the sixty staff rebels; their Adjusters still tarry on Jerusem. Matters will undoubtedly rest as they now are until the entire Lucifer rebellion is finally adjudicated and the fate of all participants decreed.
2014 67:4.5 Kad je stotinka došla na Urantiju, njezini su članovi privremeno odvojeni od svojih Misaonih Ispravljača. Neposredno po dolasku Melkizedeških primaoca, sve su se odane ličnosti (izuzev Vana) vratile na Jeruzem gdje su sjedinjene sa svojim Ispravljačima. Mi ne znamo što se dogodilo sa šezdeset članova pobunjenog osoblja; njihovi Ispravljači još uvijek čekaju na Jeruzemu. Stvari nesumnjivo moraju počekati, kao što je upravo slučaj, dok se ne donese presuda cijelom slučaju Luciferove pobune i dok se ne odluči o sudbini svih učesnika.
1955 67:4.6 It was very difficult for such beings as angels and midwayers to conceive of brilliant and trusted rulers like Caligastia and Daligastia going astray—committing traitorous sin. Those beings who fell into sin—they did not deliberately or premeditatedly enter upon rebellion—were misled by their superiors, deceived by their trusted leaders. It was likewise easy to win the support of the primitive-minded evolutionary mortals.
2014 67:4.6 Stvorenjima poput anđela i međubića bilo je jako teško shvatiti da tako izvanredni i pouzdani vladari poput Kaligastije i Daligastije mogu skrenuti s puta--da mogu počiniti izdajnički grijeh. Ona bića koja su navedena na grijeh--koja nisu namjerno ili promišljeno sudjelovala u pobuni--predstavljaju žrtve zavodničkog utjecaja svojih pretpostavljenih-- vođa koje su uživale njihovo povjerenje. Jednako je lako bilo zadobiti podršku primitivnih i prostoumnih evolucijskih smrtnika.
1955 67:4.7 The vast majority of all human and superhuman beings who were victims of the Lucifer rebellion on Jerusem and the various misled planets have long since heartily repented of their folly; and we truly believe that all such sincere penitents will in some manner be rehabilitated and restored to some phase of universe service when the Ancients of Days finally complete the adjudication of the affairs of the Satania rebellion, which they have so recently begun.
2014 67:4.7 Od svih ljudskih i nadljudskih bića koja su postala žrtvama Luciferove pobune na Jeruzemu i različitim drugim zavedenim planetima, velika se većina najiskrenije pokajala radi svoje ludosti; i mi istinski vjerujemo da nakon što Starješine Dana budu donijele konačnu presudu nad svim što je pratilo Satanijskupobununa čemu su odnedavno počeli raditi--sve će osobe koje su se iskreno pokajale radi učešća u pobuni proći određenim procesom oporavka te biti ponovo postavljene na neku fazu kozmičke službe.
¶ 5. NEPOSREDNI REZULTATI POBUNE
5. IMMEDIATE RESULTS OF REBELLION
5. NEPOSREDNI REZULTATI POBUNE
1955 67:5.1 Great confusion reigned in Dalamatia and thereabout for almost fifty years after the instigation of rebellion. The complete and radical reorganization of the whole world was attempted; revolution displaced evolution as the policy of cultural advancement and racial improvement. Among the superior and partially trained sojourners in and near Dalamatia there appeared a sudden advancement in cultural status, but when these new and radical methods were attempted on the outlying peoples, indescribable confusion and racial pandemonium was the immediate result. Liberty was quickly translated into license by the half-evolved primitive men of those days.
2014 67:5.1 Velika je zbrka vladala Dalamatijom i njezinom okolicom gotovo pedeset godina nakon početka pobune. Pobunjenici su pokušali postići potpunu i korijenitu reorganizaciju cijelog svijeta; revolucija je zamijenila evoluciju kao metoda za kulturno uzvišenje i rasno unaprijeđenje. Među naprednim i djelomično obučenim osobama koje su živjele bilo u samoj Dalamatiji ili u njezinoj neposrednoj okolici, postignuto je iznenadno poboljšanje kulturnog statusa, ali nakon što je Knezovo osoblje pokušalo predstaviti ove nove metode drugim narodima iz udaljenijih oblasti, izbila je neopisiva zbrka i rasna pometnja. Polurazvijenimprimitivcimca ovog doba nije dugo trebalo da prevedu slobodu u samoizvoljnost.
1955 67:5.2 Very soon after the rebellion the entire staff of sedition were engaged in energetic defense of the city against the hordes of semisavages who besieged its walls as a result of the doctrines of liberty which had been prematurely taught them. And years before the beautiful headquarters went down beneath the southern waves, the misled and mistaught tribes of the Dalamatia hinterland had already swept down in semisavage assault on the splendid city, driving the secession staff and their associates northward.
2014 67:5.2 Nedugo nakon pobune, cijelo se ustaničko osoblje moralo posvetiti obarni grada od poludivljih hordi koje su opsjele gradske zidine kao rezultat preuranjenih učenja o slobodi. I više godina prije nego je prelijepi centar preplavljen južnim vodama, zavedena plemena Dalamatijskezaleđine koja su primila ova neispravna učenja opsjela su ovaj veličanstveni grad, u poludivljačkom napadu prognavši ustaničko osoblje i njihove suradnike prema sjeveru.
1955 67:5.3 The Caligastia scheme for the immediate reconstruction of human society in accordance with his ideas of individual freedom and group liberties, proved a swift and more or less complete failure. Society quickly sank back to its old biologic level, and the forward struggle began all over, starting not very far in advance of where it was at the beginning of the Caligastia regime, this upheaval having left the world in confusion worse confounded.
2014 67:5.3 Kaligastijina namjera da smjesta uspostavi novu organizaciju ljudskog društva u skladu s vlastitim idejama o individualnoj slobodi i grupnoj samoizvoljnosti, brzo se pokazala više-manje potpunim neuspjehom. Drušvo je brzo nazadovalo do razine starog evolucijskog statusa gdje se ponovo moralo posvetiti borbi za napredak, i to počevši od točke koja nije bila puno naprednija od stadija koji je prethodio Kaligastijinom režimu, kako je pobuna samo pogoršala zbrku i metež.
1955 67:5.4 One hundred and sixty-two years after the rebellion a tidal wave swept up over Dalamatia, and the planetary headquarters sank beneath the waters of the sea, and this land did not again emerge until almost every vestige of the noble culture of those splendid ages had been obliterated.
2014 67:5.4 Stotinu šezdeset dvije godine nakon pobune, voda je preplavila Dalamatiju, potopivši planetarni centar morskim vodama koje su prekrivale ovo područje sve dok gotovo svi ostaci plemenite kulture ovog veličanstvenog doba nisu bili uništeni.
1955 67:5.5 When the first capital of the world was engulfed, it harbored only the lowest types of the Sangik races of Urantia, renegades who had already converted the Father’s temple into a shrine dedicated to Nog, the false god of light and fire.
2014 67:5.5 Onog časa kad je prvi svjetski centar iščezao ispod morske površine, u njemu su živjeli jedino najniži tipovi sangiških rasa Urantije, otpadnici koji su već bili pretvorili Očev hram u svetilište posvećeno Nogu, lažnom bogu svjetla i vatre.
¶ 6. POSTOJANI VAN
6. VAN—THE STEADFAST
6. POSTOJANI VAN
1955 67:6.1 The followers of Van early withdrew to the highlands west of India, where they were exempt from attacks by the confused races of the lowlands, and from which place of retirement they planned for the rehabilitation of the world as their early Badonite predecessors had once all unwittingly worked for the welfare of mankind just before the days of the birth of the Sangik tribes.
2014 67:6.1 Vanovi sljedbenici su se rano povukli u visinske oblasti zapadno od Indije, gdje nisu bili izloženi napadima zbunjenih rasa iz nižih oblasti i odakle su se nesmetano mogli posvetiti izradi planova za svjetski oporavak, jednako kao što su njihovi rani Badnitski preci nekoć posve nesvjesno unaprijedili svjetsku dobrobit neposredno prije pojave sangiških plemena.
1955 67:6.2 Before the arrival of the Melchizedek receivers, Van placed the administration of human affairs in the hands of ten commissions of four each, groups identical with those of the Prince’s regime. The senior resident Life Carriers assumed temporary leadership of this council of forty, which functioned throughout the seven years of waiting. Similar groups of Amadonites assumed these responsibilities when the thirty-nine loyal staff members returned to Jerusem.
2014 67:6.2 Prije pojave Melkizedeških primaoca, Van je predao administrativnu upravu nad ljudskim aktivnostima u ruke deset četveročlanih komisija koje se nisu jako razlikovale od onih koje su postojale za vrijeme Knezovog režima. Domaći Nositelji Z'ivota iz reda starješina su preuzeli privremenu upravu nad ovim četveročlanimzborom koji je djelovao kroz sav sedmogodišnji period čekanja. Slične grupe Amadonita su preuzele odgovornost nakon što se trideset devet odanih članova osoblja vratilo na Jeruzem.
1955 67:6.3 These Amadonites were derived from the group of 144 loyal Andonites to which Amadon belonged, and who have become known by his name. This group comprised thirty-nine men and one hundred and five women. Fifty-six of this number were of immortality status, and all (except Amadon) were translated along with the loyal members of the staff. The remainder of this noble band continued on earth to the end of their mortal days under the leadership of Van and Amadon. They were the biologic leaven which multiplied and continued to furnish leadership for the world down through the long dark ages of the postrebellion era.
2014 67:6.3 Ovi su Amadoniti vukli porijeklo od 144 odana Andonita iz grupe kojoj je pripadao i sam Amadon, a koja je postala poznata po njegovu imenu. Ova je grupa brojala trideset devet muškaraca i stotinu i pet žena. Među njima, pedeset šest članova je imalo besmrtan status te su tako, s izuzetkom Amadona, svi prevedeni zajedno s odanim članovima osoblja. Ostali članovi ove plemenite grupe su nastavili živjeti na zemlji do kraja svojih smrtničkih života pod vodstvom Vana i Amadona. Oni su bili biološki kvasac koji je umnožavao i stvarao svjetske vođe u toku cijelog dugog i tamnog razdoblja koje je uslijedilo nakon pobune.
1955 67:6.4 Van was left on Urantia until the time of Adam, remaining as titular head of all superhuman personalities functioning on the planet. He and Amadon were sustained by the technique of the tree of life in conjunction with the specialized life ministry of the Melchizedeks for over one hundred and fifty thousand years.
2014 67:6.4 Van se zadržao na Urantiji sve do Adamovog doba, i dalje ostavši poglavarom svih nadljudskih ličnosti koje su djelovale na planetu. Zahvaljujući plodu drveta života i specijaliziranoj vještini kojom su Melkizedeci bili u stanju produžiti njihove živote, Van i Amadon su živjeli preko stotinu pedeset tisuća godina.
1955 67:6.5 The affairs of Urantia were for a long time administered by a council of planetary receivers, twelve Melchizedeks, confirmed by the mandate of the senior constellation ruler, the Most High Father of Norlatiadek. Associated with the Melchizedek receivers was an advisory council consisting of: one of the loyal aids of the fallen Prince, the two resident Life Carriers, a Trinitized Son in apprenticeship training, a volunteer Teacher Son, a Brilliant Evening Star of Avalon (periodically), the chiefs of seraphim and cherubim, advisers from two neighboring planets, the director general of subordinate angelic life, and Van, the commander in chief of the midway creatures. And thus was Urantia governed and administered until the arrival of Adam. It is not strange that the courageous and loyal Van was assigned a place on the council of planetary receivers which for so long administered the affairs of Urantia.
2014 67:6.5 Prema odobrenju starijeg vladara sazviježđa, Višnjeg Oca Norlatiadeka, poslovi Urantije su dugo počivali u rukama vijeća koje se sastojalo od dvanaest planetarnih primaoca iz reda Melkizedeka. S Melkizedeškim je primaocima surađivao savjetodavni zbor koje se sastojao od slijedećih ličnosti: jednog od više odanih pomoćnika koji se nisu poveli za palim Knezom, dva domaća Nositelja Z'ivota, Potrojstvljenog Sina u procesu obuke, dobrovoljca iz reda Sinova Učitelja, (periodično) Sjajne Večernje Zvijezde Avalona, stariješinaserafima i kerubina, savjetnika s dvaju susjednih planeta, glavnog predsjednika podređenih anđela, te Vana-- najvišeg zapovjednika međubića. I ova je grupa upravljala administrativnim poslovima Urantije sve do Adamovog dolaska. Nije čudno što je hrabri i odani Van primio položaj u vijeću planetarnih primalaca koje je tako dugo upravljalo poslovima Urantije.Dvanaest Melkizedeških primalaca Urantije se istaklo istinskim junaštvom. Oni su očuvali ostatke civilizacije, dok je Van odano izvršavao njihove planetarne aktivnosti.
1955 67:6.6 The twelve Melchizedek receivers of Urantia did heroic work. They preserved the remnants of civilization, and their planetary policies were faithfully executed by Van. Within one thousand years after the rebellion he had more than three hundred and fifty advanced groups scattered abroad in the world. These outposts of civilization consisted largely of the descendants of the loyal Andonites slightly admixed with the Sangik races, particularly the blue men, and with the Nodites.
2014 67:6.6 Tisuću godina nakon pobune, Van je imao više od tri stotine pedeset naprednih grupa rasutih širom cijelog svijeta. Ovi su se ključni civilizacijski položaji najvećim dijelom sastojali od potomaka odanih Andonita koji suu manjoj mjeri izmiješani sa sangiškim rasama, osobito plavom rasom, kao i s Noditima.
1955 67:6.7 Notwithstanding the terrible setback of rebellion there were many good strains of biologic promise on earth. Under the supervision of the Melchizedek receivers, Van and Amadon continued the work of fostering the natural evolution of the human race, carrying forward the physical evolution of man until it reached that culminating attainment which warranted the dispatch of a Material Son and Daughter to Urantia.
2014 67:6.7 Unatoč tome što je pobuna jako unazadila planet, na njemu su i dalje živjele mnoge loze koje su imali visok biološki potnecijal. Pod nadzorom Melkizedeških primalaca, Van i Amadon su se nastavili zalagati za unaprijeđenje prirodne evolucije ljudske rase, nastojeći postići potpuni razvoj čovjekove fizičke evolucije do razine koje bi osigurala dolazak Materijalnog Sina i Kćerke na Urantiju.
1955 67:6.8 Van and Amadon remained on earth until shortly after the arrival of Adam and Eve. Some years thereafter they were translated to Jerusem, where Van was reunited with his waiting Adjuster. Van now serves in behalf of Urantia while awaiting the order to go forward on the long, long trail to Paradise perfection and the unrevealed destiny of the assembling Corps of Mortal Finality.
2014 67:6.8 Van i Amadon su ostali na zemlji kratko vrijeme nakon dolaska Adama i Eve.Par godina nakon ovog događaja, prevedeni su na Jeruzem, gdje je Van ponovo sjedinjen sa svojim Ispravljačem. Van trenutno izvršava dužnosti u korist Urantije dok očekuje nalog da pođe dugom, dugom stazom Rajskog savršenstva i neobznanjene sudbine koja stoji pred sve brojnijim Zborom Smrtničkih Finalista.
1955 67:6.9 It should be recorded that, when Van appealed to the Most Highs of Edentia after Lucifer had sustained Caligastia on Urantia, the Constellation Fathers dispatched an immediate decision sustaining Van on every point of his contention. This verdict failed to reach him because the planetary circuits of communication were severed while it was in transit. Only recently was this actual ruling discovered lodged in the possession of a relay energy transmitter where it had been marooned ever since the isolation of Urantia. Without this discovery, made as the result of the investigations of the Urantia midwayers, the release of this decision would have awaited the restoration of Urantia to the constellation circuits. And this apparent accident of interplanetary communication was possible because energy transmitters can receive and transmit intelligence, but they cannot initiate communication.
2014 67:6.9 Treba zabilježiti da su, nakon što je Lucifer izrazio podršku Kaligastijinoj upravi na Urantiji i nakon što je Van odmah zatim podnio tužbu Višnjima Edentije, Očevi Sazviježđa smjesta objavili odluku o punoj podršci Vanu u svakom aspektu njegove borbe. Van, međutim, nije mogao primiti ovu odluku radi toga što su planetarni krugovi presječeni dok su je nosili. Tek je nedavno ustanovljeno da se odluka cijelo to vrijeme nalazila u energetskom prijenosniku radio stanice, gdje se zatekla pri prekidu komunikacije. Da je međubićaUrantije nisu bila u stanju pronaći, ova odluka ne bi bila objavljena sve dok Urantija ponovo ne postane dijelom komunikacijskih krugova sazviježđa. I ovaj se očigledni nesporazum u procesu međuplanetarne komunikacije odigrao radi toga što energetski prijenosnici mogu primiti i prenijeti vijesti, ali ne mogu započeti kominikaciju.
1955 67:6.10 The technical status of Van on the legal records of Satania was not actually and finally settled until this ruling of the Edentia Fathers was recorded on Jerusem.
2014 67:6.10 Formalno, Vanov status u pravnoj bazi podataka Satanije nije mogao biti razriješen sve dok ova odluka Očeva Edentije nije uvedena u protokol na Jeruzemu.
¶ 7. UDALJENE POSLJEDICE GRIJEHA
7. REMOTE REPERCUSSIONS OF SIN
7. UDALJENE POSLJEDICE GRIJEHA
1955 67:7.1 The personal (centripetal) consequences of the creature’s willful and persistent rejection of light are both inevitable and individual and are of concern only to Deity and to that personal creature. Such a soul-destroying harvest of iniquity is the inner reaping of the iniquitous will creature.
2014 67:7.1 Osobne (centripetalne)posljedice odluke stvorenog bića da će svjesno i ustrajno odbaciti svjetlo predstavljaju osobnu i neminovnu pojavu, te se kao takve tiču jedino Božanstva i dotične osobe. Takviplodovi nitkovluka koji će vremenom uništiti dušu takvog bića predstavljaju unutarnje plodove njegove nitkovske volje.
[1]
1955 67:7.2 But not so with the external repercussions of sin: The impersonal (centrifugal) consequences of embraced sin are both inevitable and collective, being of concern to every creature functioning within the affect-range of such events.
2014 67:7.2 Ali ovo nije slučaj kad je riječ o spoljašnjim posljedicama grijeha: Neosobne (centrifugalne) posljedice prihvaćenog grijeha predstavljaju kolektivnu i neminovnu pojavu i kao takve se tiču svakog stvorenog bića koje djeluje u njihovoj odražajnoj domeni.
1955 67:7.3 By fifty thousand years after the collapse of the planetary administration, earthly affairs were so disorganized and retarded that the human race had gained very little over the general evolutionary status existing at the time of Caligastia’s arrival three hundred and fifty thousand years previously. In certain respects progress had been made; in other directions much ground had been lost.
2014 67:7.3 Pedeset tisuća godina nakon pada planetarne adminstracije, zemaljske aktivnosti su bile u tako zbrkanom i nazadnom stanju da se moglo zaključiti da je ljudski rod izvukao vrlo malo koristi iz općeg evolucijskog statusa koji je postojao u vrijeme Kaligastijinog dolaska, prije tri stotine pedeset tisuća godina. Napredak je postignut jedino u određenim aspektima; u drugima je dosta izgubljeno.
1955 67:7.4 Sin is never purely local in its effects. The administrative sectors of the universes are organismal; the plight of one personality must to a certain extent be shared by all. Sin, being an attitude of the person toward reality, is destined to exhibit its inherent negativistic harvest upon any and all related levels of universe values. But the full consequences of erroneous thinking, evil-doing, or sinful planning are experienced only on the level of actual performance. The transgression of universe law may be fatal in the physical realm without seriously involving the mind or impairing the spiritual experience. Sin is fraught with fatal consequences to personality survival only when it is the attitude of the whole being, when it stands for the choosing of the mind and the willing of the soul.
2014 67:7.4 Grijeh nikad nema posve lokalne posljedice. Administrativni sektori kozmosa počivaju na organizmima; nevolja jedne osobe mora do izvjesne mjere zahvatiti sve druge ljude. Kako grijeh predstavlja stav osobe prema stvarnosti, on se mora negativno odraziti na sve povezane razine kozmičkih vrijednosti. Ali bića mogu doživjeti pune posljedice pogrešnog razmišljanja, zlodjelstva ili zlih namjera jedino na stvarnoj razini djelovanja. Kršenje kozmičkog zakona može biti kobno u fizičkoj domeni, premda ne mora ozbiljnije djelovati bilo na um ili na duhovno iskustvo. Grijeh ima kobne posljedice na opstanak ličnosti jedino ako predstavlja stav cijelog bića--izbor uma i volju duše.
1955 67:7.5 Evil and sin visit their consequences in material and social realms and may sometimes even retard spiritual progress on certain levels of universe reality, but never does the sin of any being rob another of the realization of the divine right of personality survival. Eternal survival can be jeopardized only by the decisions of the mind and the choice of the soul of the individual himself.
2014 67:7.5 Posljedice zla i grijeha djeluju kako u materijalnoj tako i u društvenoj domeni, i često mogu ugroziti čak i duhovni napredak na izvjesnim razinama kozmičke stvarnosti, premda zlo jedne osobe nikad nema negativan učinak na ostvarenje božanskog prava na opstanak drugih ličnosti. Jedino odluke uma i izbor duše dotične osobe mogu ugroziti njezin vječni život.
1955 67:7.6 Sin on Urantia did very little to delay biologic evolution, but it did operate to deprive the mortal races of the full benefit of the Adamic inheritance. Sin enormously retards intellectual development, moral growth, social progress, and mass spiritual attainment. But it does not prevent the highest spiritual achievement by any individual who chooses to know God and sincerely do his divine will.
2014 67:7.6 Grijeh je na Urantiji tek naznatno odgodio biološku evoluciju, premda je smrtničkim rasama oduzeo puni užitak Adamitskog nasljeđa. Grijeh uveliko ugrožava intelektualni razvoj, moralni rast, društveni napredak i kolektivno duhovno postignuće.
1955 67:7.7 Caligastia rebelled, Adam and Eve did default, but no mortal subsequently born on Urantia has suffered in his personal spiritual experience because of these blunders. Every mortal born on Urantia since Caligastia’s rebellion has been in some manner time-penalized, but the future welfare of such souls has never been in the least eternity-jeopardized. No person is ever made to suffer vital spiritual deprivation because of the sin of another. Sin is wholly personal as to moral guilt or spiritual consequences, notwithstanding its far-flung repercussions in administrative, intellectual, and social domains.
2014 67:7.7 Ali grijeh ne spriječava najviše duhovno postignuće osobe koja odabere poznavati Boga i iskreno činiti njegovu božansku volju.Unatoč Kaligastijinoj pobuni i neuspjehu Adama i Eve, ni jedno smrtno biće koje je rođeno na Urantiji nakon ovih događaja nije u svom osobnom duhovnom iskustvu patilo radi ovih grešaka. Svaki je smrtnik koji je rođen na Urantiji nakon Kaligastijine pobune pretrpio određene negativne posljedice ovog događaja, premda u pogledu vječnosti buduće blagostanje ovih duša nije ni u najmanjem ugroženo. Ni jedna osoba nikad nije morala podnijeti bitan duhovni gubitak radi tuđeg grijeha. Grijeh je posve osoban, bilo da je riječ o moralnoj krivnji ili duhovnim posljedicama, unatoč dalekosežnosti njegovih posljedica u administrativnim, intelektualnim i duhovnim domenama.
1955 67:7.8 While we cannot fathom the wisdom that permits such catastrophes, we can always discern the beneficial outworking of these local disturbances as they are reflected out upon the universe at large.
2014 67:7.8 Dok nismo u stanju shvatiti mudrost koja dozvoljava ovakve katastrofe, uvijek imamo priliku opaziti kako se ovakvi lokalni poremećaji povoljno odražavaju na sveopću kozmičku scenu.
¶ 8.ČOVJEK KOJI JE BIO HEROJ POBUNE
8. THE HUMAN HERO OF THE REBELLION
8.ČOVJEK KOJI JE BIO HEROJ POBUNE
1955 67:8.1 The Lucifer rebellion was withstood by many courageous beings on the various worlds of Satania; but the records of Salvington portray Amadon as the outstanding character of the entire system in his glorious rejection of the flood tides of sedition and in his unswerving devotion to Van—they stood together unmoved in their loyalty to the supremacy of the invisible Father and his Son Michael.
2014 67:8.1 Mnoga su se hrabra bića s više svjetova Satanije bila u stanju oduprijeti pobuni; ali kako pokazuju zapisi Salvingtona, Amadon se pokazao izvanrednim herojem cijelog sistema po načinu na koji se veličanstveno oduprijeo valu pobune kao i po svojoj nepokolebljivoj odanosti Vanu--njih dvojica su stajali rame uz rame, nepopustljivo odani vrhovnosti nevidljivog Oca i njegovog Sina Mihaela.
1955 67:8.2 At the time of these momentous transactions I was stationed on Edentia, and I am still conscious of the exhilaration I experienced as I perused the Salvington broadcasts which told from day to day of the unbelievable steadfastness, the transcendent devotion, and the exquisite loyalty of this onetime semisavage springing from the experimental and original stock of the Andonic race.
2014 67:8.2 U vrijeme ovih značajnih događaja, bio sam smješten na Edentiji i još uvijek se svjesno sjećam uzbuđenja koje sam doživio prateći Salvingtonski program koji je iz dana u dan emitirao vijesti o nevjerojatnoj nepokolebljivosti, trenscendentnoj odanosti i izvanrednoj lojalnosti ovog negdašnjeg potomstva eksperimentalne i izvorne loze Andonitske rase.
1955 67:8.3 From Edentia up through Salvington and even on to Uversa, for seven long years the first inquiry of all subordinate celestial life regarding the Satania rebellion, ever and always, was: “What of Amadon of Urantia, does he still stand unmoved?”
2014 67:8.3 Od Edentije pa sve do Salvingtona i čak Uverse, kroz sedam dugih godina, prvo što su podređena nebeska bića imala običaj pitati vezano uz pobunu koja je potresala Sataniju, uvijek je bilo: "Što je s AmadonomUrantije, je li još uvijek nepokolebljivo odan?"
1955 67:8.4 If the Lucifer rebellion has handicapped the local system and its fallen worlds, if the loss of this Son and his misled associates has temporarily hampered the progress of the constellation of Norlatiadek, then weigh the effect of the far-flung presentation of the inspiring performance of this one child of nature and his determined band of 143 comrades in standing steadfast for the higher concepts of universe management and administration in the face of such tremendous and adverse pressure exerted by his disloyal superiors. And let me assure you, this has already done more good in the universe of Nebadon and the superuniverse of Orvonton than can ever be outweighed by the sum total of all the evil and sorrow of the Lucifer rebellion.
2014 67:8.4 Ako je Luciferova pobuna unazadila lokalni sistem i njegove poražene svjetove, ako je gubitak Sina i njegovih zavedenih suradnika privremeno usporio napredak Norlatiadek sazviježđa, trebate odmjeriti djelotvornost općepoznate povijesti o inspirativnim djelimaovog djeteta prirode i njegove odane grupe od 143 suradnika koja su se čvrsto držala najviših ideja kozmičke uprave i administracije, unatoč vrlo snažnom i oprečnom pritisku svojih nevjernih starješina. I u jedno vas želim uvjeriti: ovo je već donijelo više dobra svemiru Nebadonu i nadsvemiruOrvontonu nego ikad može proizaći iz sveg zla i patnje koji su pratili Luciferovu pobunu.
1955 67:8.5 And all this is a beautifully touching and superbly magnificent illumination of the wisdom of the Father’s universal plan for mobilizing the Corps of Mortal Finality on Paradise and for recruiting this vast group of mysterious servants of the future largely from the common clay of the mortals of ascending progression—just such mortals as the impregnable Amadon.
2014 67:8.5 I sve ovo je predivno dirljiva i neizrecivo veličanstvena pripovijed o mudrosti Očevog univerzalnog plana koji je na Raju sabrao Zbor Smrtničkih Finalista i koji je oblikovao ovu mnogobrojnu grupu tajnovitih služitelja budućnosti, najvećim ih dijelom načinivši iz svakidašnjeg obličja uspinjućih smrtnika--upravo takvih smrtnika kakav je nepokolebljivi Amadon.
