Illawarra District, Australia, June 27,
2011.
Midwayer Chief Bzutu (ABC-22).
Teacher Samuel of Panoptia.
Received by George Barnard.
Bzutu: "Greeting. It is I, Bzutu, to cover part of the enquiry
regarding arranged marriages and divorce. During the times of the Adamite
and Andite migrations into Europe and Asia there were wiser elders,
simpler lives to be led, and generally a better choice of spouses to
be selected by these elders. In modern times such parental and guardian
choices for who will marry whom are tending to be less successful. You
may conclude that convenience from the point of view of the elders,
rather than envisaged marital bliss for their offspring, is frequently
considered paramount.
"There are records of the not-yet-born having been promised in
marriage austensibly to keep certain genetic lines alive. In this male-dominated
society they were the patriarchs who took it upon themselves to make
these choices. The divorce rate in the western world, however, does
not convince anyone that you now have a better system of selection.
Over to your Teacher now
"
Samuel: "A comparison between your world here and now, and
my world in my time, would hardly rate as fair. Consider the following
among many differences, between us Panoptians, and you Urantians: We
have greatly longer life-spans on our planet, greater Adamic input,
a single, planet-wide form of worship, and we are a single race, not
many races as on your world.
"As well, we were rather more placid in our ways, already in my
time, and considered to be fully mature and ready for marriage by the
time we were some thirty years old as you reckon your years. However,
women in our communities were mostly in charge and more involved with
social aspect generally. Whilst one could not claim that marriages were
arranged, per se, strong recommendations would be given as a result
of in-depth profiling, and by and large such advice was acted upon.
"More than any other factor, the level of spiritual advancement
of both spouses was taken into consideration, for this is overwhelmingly
the outstanding reason why one is brought into the time-space worlds.
And here you are at a disadvantage, because you are so short lived and
mostly, although religious worship may be present, spiritual progress
is generally absent, or late to arrive. And when this does come to the
fore in one of the partners, not so much the spiritual behavior, but
the change in the partner, will be feared.
"Here now I've come to the point of considering the plight of more
than a few of you, and answering the questions posed. So often on your
world, the partner in your life is very much represented by the luck
of the draw. Relative to natives of Panoptia, you have but a short window
in time to prepare for life, have your family, and provide for their
well being. Even so, spirituality is your main reason for being, and
for the partner finding himself, or herself, left behind, there needs
to be understanding that something of importance is happening.
"Only when all soul searching, and mediation proves to be in vain,
should a parting of the ways be considered, for marriage is not a sacrement,
no, but it is a contract of the first order nevertheless. Thank you
for your time. This is Samuel."
