A Study of Urantia Paper 36 - The Life Carriers—Worlds & Life Transplantation

This week we continue our study of Urantia Paper 36 — The Life Carriers. This is the amazing and extraordinary story of the beings who initiate life on the inhabitable worlds of space. 

The Life Carriers are devoted to the study of universe life and are involved in new life design, life preservation, evolution of creature life, life associated with mind, the correlation of mind with spirit in living organisms, and in unrevealed domains of evolutionary creature life. 

Life does not spontaneously appear in the universes; the Life Carriers must initiate it on the barren planets. They are the carriers, disseminators, and guardians of life as it appears on the evolutionary worlds of space. All life of the order and forms known on Urantia arises with these Sons, though not all forms of planetary life are existent on Urantia. (399.3) 36:3.1

When, in accordance with approved formulas, the physical patterns have been provided, then do the Life Carriers catalyze this lifeless material, imparting through their persons the vital spirit spark; and forthwith do the inert patterns become living matter.

The vital spark — the mystery of life — is bestowed through the Life Carriers, not by them. They do indeed supervise such transactions, they formulate the life plasm itself, but it is the Universe Mother Spirit who supplies the essential factor of the living plasm. From the Creative Daughter of the Infinite Spirit comes that energy spark which enlivens the body and presages the mind. (399.5,6) 36:3.3,4

The Life Carriers of a planetary corps are given ...approximately one-half million years of the time of that planet... [after which] they cease implantation efforts, and they may not subsequently add anything new or supplemental to the life of that planet. (400.1) 36:3.6
