New Study: Paper 55. The Spheres of Light and Life - Part I

This week we begin a study of Urantia Paper 55: The Spheres of Light and Life.

The final attainment of an evolutionary world is the age of light and life. Once attained, the era of light and life continues FOREVER.

A planet in the golden ages of light and life has achieved one language, one religion, and one race. This is the end result of ages of planetary progress and social evolution, in which disease has been largely eliminated, hospitals exist to treat accidental injuries and the infirmities of old age, and human government continues to evolve. In the advanced stages of light and life on a planet, idleness, poverty, degeneracy, insanity, and delinquency are virtually gone. Science, art, and industry flourish; economic life becomes ethical. War is known only in history; there are no armies or police forces. Government fades away in inverse proportion to morality and spirituality. Life is refreshingly simple.

Most people who live on worlds in the advanced stages of light and life do not die; they are translated directly to the next stage of existence through a process called fusion.

Entire universes also pass through stages of light and life. The first stage begins when a single planet settles in light and life; the second stage occurs when a whole system is settled. The third is the constellation stage and the fourth is the local universe stage. The fifth and sixth stages (minor and major sectors) are relatively insignificant, but the seventh stage when an entire superuniverse settles in light and life may trigger sweeping changes in the entire superuniverse.

This paper provides an amazing look at the saga of evolution in the inhabited universe. It spells out the best possible news, that our world is truly destined for sublime joy and peace. Does it sound too good to be true? Come and let's discover together the amazing journey from darkness and death to the realization of LIGHT and LIFE!
