the way i read the paragraph the 1,316 associates translated along with Adam and Eve would comprise both the sleeping survivors and the living candidates...so not a lot of living candidates. correct me if i'm reading it wrongly....
The reference says nothing about living people except in the last sentence which is referring to the roll calls at the beginning of the Adamic Dispensation and end of the Planetary Prince Dispensation. I believe the living at that time would have been the faithful members of the Prince's staff along with their associates, (Van and like people). I'm unable to find who the 1,316 associates of Adam and Eve in the first garden were, but there were plenty of evolutionary creatures who voluntarily served in the garden, as well as the Amadonites and some northern Nodites, all who were mortal and died.
(759.6) 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.
