PAPER 14
THE CENTRAL AND DIVINE UNIVERSE
14:0.1 THE perfect and divine universe occupies the
center of all creation; it is the eternal core around which the vast creations
of time and space revolve. Paradise is the gigantic nuclear Isle of absolute
stability which rests motionless at the very heart of the magnificent eternal
universe. This central planetary family is called Havona and is far-distant
from the local universe of Nebadon. It is of enormous dimensions and almost
unbelievable mass and consists of one billion spheres of unimagined beauty and
superb grandeur, but the true magnitude of this vast creation is really beyond
the understanding grasp of the human mind.
14:0.2 This is the one and only settled, perfect,
and established aggregation of worlds. This is a wholly created and perfect
universe; it is not an evolutionary development. This is the eternal core of
perfection, about which swirls that endless procession of universes which
constitute the tremendous evolutionary experiment, the audacious adventure of
the Creator Sons of God, who aspire to duplicate in time and to reproduce in
space the pattern universe, the ideal of divine completeness, supreme
finality, ultimate reality, and eternal perfection.
1. THE PARADISE-HAVONA SYSTEM
14:1.1 From the periphery of Paradise to the inner
borders of the seven superuniverses there are the following seven space
conditions and motions:
1. The quiescent midspace zones impinging on
Paradise.
2. The clockwise processional of the three
Paradise and the seven Havona circuits.
3. The semiquiet space zone separating the Havona
circuits from the dark gravity bodies of the central universe.
4. The inner, counterclockwise-moving belt of the
dark gravity bodies.
5. The second unique space zone dividing the two
space paths of the dark gravity bodies.
6. The outer belt of dark gravity bodies,
revolving clockwise around Paradise.
7. A third space zone -- a semiquiet zone --
separating the outer belt of dark gravity bodies from the innermost circuits
of the seven superuniverses.
14:1.2 The billion worlds of Havona are arranged in
seven concentric circuits immediately surrounding the three circuits of
Paradise satellites. There are upwards of thirty-five million worlds in the
innermost Havona circuit and over two hundred and forty-five million in the
outermost, with proportionate numbers intervening. Each circuit differs, but
all are perfectly balanced and exquisitely organized, and each is pervaded by
a specialized representation of the Infinite Spirit, one of the Seven Spirits
of the Circuits. In addition to other functions this impersonal Spirit
co-ordinates the conduct of celestial affairs throughout each
circuit.
14:1.3 The Havona planetary circuits are not
superimposed; their worlds follow each other in an orderly linear procession.
The central universe whirls around the stationary Isle of Paradise in one vast
plane, consisting of ten concentric stabilized units -- the three circuits of
Paradise spheres and the seven circuits of Havona worlds. Physically regarded,
the Havona and the Paradise circuits are all one and the same system; their
separation is in recognition of functional and administrative segregation.
14:1.4 Time is not reckoned on Paradise; the
sequence of successive events is inherent in the concept of those who are
indigenous to the central Isle. But time is germane to the Havona circuits and
to numerous beings of both celestial and terrestrial origin sojourning
thereon. Each Havona world has its own local time, determined by its circuit.
All worlds in a given circuit have the same length of year since they
uniformly swing around Paradise, and the length of these planetary years
decreases from the outermost to the innermost circuit.
14:1.5 Besides Havona-circuit time, there is the
Paradise-Havona standard day and other time designations which are determined
on, and are sent out from, the seven Paradise satellites of the Infinite
Spirit. The Paradise-Havona standard day is based on the length of time
required for the planetary abodes of the first or inner Havona circuit to
complete one revolution around the Isle of Paradise; and though their velocity
is enormous, owing to their situation between the dark gravity bodies and
gigantic Paradise, it requires almost one thousand years for these spheres to
complete their circuit. You have unwittingly read the truth when your eyes
rested on the statement "A day is as a thousand years with God, as but a watch
in the night." One Paradise-Havona day is just seven minutes, three and
one-eighth seconds less than one thousand years of the present Urantia
leap-year calendar.
14:1.6 This Paradise-Havona day is the standard time
measurement for the seven superuniverses, although each maintains its own
internal time standards.
14:1.7 On the outskirts of this vast central
universe, far out beyond the seventh belt of Havona worlds, there swirl an
unbelievable number of enormous dark gravity bodies. These multitudinous dark
masses are quite unlike other space bodies in many particulars; even in form
they are very different. These dark gravity bodies neither reflect nor absorb
light; they are nonreactive to physical-energy light, and they so completely
encircle and enshroud Havona as to hide it from the view of even near-by
inhabited universes of time and space.
14:1.8 The great belt of dark gravity bodies is
divided into two equal elliptical circuits by a unique space intrusion. The
inner belt revolves counterclockwise; the outer revolves clockwise. These
alternate directions of motion, coupled with the extraordinary mass of the
dark bodies, so effectively equalize the lines of Havona gravity as to render
the central universe a physically balanced and perfectly stabilized
creation.
14:1.9 The inner procession of dark gravity bodies
is tubular in arrangement, consisting of three circular groupings. A cross
section of this circuit would exhibit three concentric circles of about equal
density. The outer circuit of dark gravity bodies is arranged perpendicularly,
being ten thousand times higher than the inner circuit. The up-and-down
diameter of the outer circuit is fifty thousand times that of the transverse
diameter.
14:1.10 The intervening space which exists between
these two circuits of gravity bodies is unique in that nothing like it
is to be found elsewhere in all the wide universe. This zone is characterized
by enormous wave movements of an up-and-down nature and is permeated by
tremendous energy activities of an unknown order.
14:1.11 In our opinion, nothing like the dark
gravity bodies of the central universe will characterize the future evolution
of the outer space levels; we regard these alternate processions of stupendous
gravity-balancing bodies as unique in the master universe.
2. CONSTITUTION OF HAVONA
14:2.1 Spirit beings do not dwell in nebulous space;
they do not inhabit ethereal worlds; they are domiciled on actual spheres of a
material nature, worlds just as real as those on which mortals live. The
Havona worlds are actual and literal, albeit their literal substance differs
from the material organization of the planets of the seven
superuniverses.
14:2.2 The physical realities of Havona represent an
order of energy organization radically different from any prevailing in the
evolutionary universes of space. Havona energies are threefold; superuniverse
units of energy-matter contain a twofold energy charge, although one form of
energy exists in negative and positive phases. The creation of the central
universe is threefold (Trinity); the creation of a local universe (directly)
is twofold, by a Creator Son and a Creative Spirit.
14:2.3 The material of Havona consists of the
organization of exactly one thousand basic chemical elements and the balanced
function of the seven forms of Havona energy. Each of these basic energies
manifests seven phases of excitation, so that the Havona natives respond to
forty-nine differing sensation stimuli. In other words, viewed from a purely
physical standpoint, the natives of the central universe possess forty-nine
specialized forms of sensation. The morontia senses are seventy, and the
higher spiritual orders of reaction response vary in different types of beings
from seventy to two hundred and ten.
14:2.4 None of the physical beings of the central
universe would be visible to Urantians. Neither would any of the physical
stimuli of those faraway worlds excite a reaction in your gross sense organs.
If a Urantia mortal could be transported to Havona, he would there be deaf,
blind, and utterly lacking in all other sense reactions; he could only
function as a limited self-conscious being deprived of all environmental
stimuli and all reactions thereto.
14:2.5 There are numerous physical phenomena and
spiritual reactions transpiring in the central creation which are unknown on
worlds such as Urantia. The basic organization of a threefold creation is
wholly unlike that of the twofold constitution of the created universes of
time and space.
14:2.6 All natural law is co-ordinated on a basis
entirely different than in the dual-energy systems of the evolving creations.
The entire central universe is organized in accordance with the threefold
system of perfect and symmetrical control. Throughout the whole
Paradise-Havona system there is maintained a perfect balance between all
cosmic realities and all spiritual forces. Paradise, with an absolute grasp of
material creation, perfectly regulates and maintains the physical energies of
this central universe; the Eternal Son, as a part of his all-embracing spirit
grasp, most perfectly sustains the spiritual status of all who indwell Havona.
On Paradise nothing is experimental, and the Paradise-Havona system is a unit
of creative perfection.
14:2.7 The universal spiritual gravity of the
Eternal Son is amazingly active throughout the central universe. All spirit
values and spiritual personalities are unceasingly drawn inward towards the
abode of the Gods. This Godward urge is intense and inescapable. The ambition
to attain God is stronger in the central universe, not because spirit gravity
is stronger than in the outlying universes, but because those beings who have
attained Havona are more fully spiritualized and hence more responsive to the
ever-present action of the universal spirit-gravity pull of the Eternal
Son.
14:2.8 Likewise does the Infinite Spirit draw all
intellectual values Paradiseward. Throughout the central universe the mind
gravity of the Infinite Spirit functions in liaison with the spirit gravity of
the Eternal Son, and these together constitute the combined urge of the
ascendant souls to find God, to attain Deity, to achieve Paradise, and to know
the Father.
14:2.9 Havona is a spiritually perfect and
physically stable universe. The control and balanced stability of the central
universe appear to be perfect. Everything physical or spiritual is perfectly
predictable, but mind phenomena and personality volition are not. We do infer
that sin can be reckoned as impossible of occurrence, but we do this on the
ground that the native freewill creatures of Havona have never been guilty of
transgressing the will of Deity. Through all eternity these supernal beings
have been consistently loyal to the Eternals of Days. Neither has sin appeared
in any creature who has entered Havona as a pilgrim. There has never been an
instance of misconduct by any creature of any group of personalities ever
created in, or admitted to, the central Havona universe. So perfect and so
divine are the methods and means of selection in the universes of time that
never in the records of Havona has an error occurred; no mistakes have ever
been made; no ascendant soul has ever been prematurely admitted to the central
universe.
3. THE HAVONA WORLDS
14:3.1 Concerning the government of the central
universe, there is none. Havona is so exquisitely perfect that no intellectual
system of government is required. There are no regularly constituted courts,
neither are there legislative assemblies; Havona requires only administrative
direction. Here may be observed the height of the ideals of true
self-government.
14:3.2 There is no need of government among such
perfect and near-perfect intelligences. They stand in no need of regulation,
for they are beings of native perfection interspersed with evolutionary
creatures who have long since passed the scrutiny of the supreme tribunals of
the superuniverses.
14:3.3 The administration of Havona is not
automatic, but it is marvelously perfect and divinely efficient. It is chiefly
planetary and is vested in the resident Eternal of Days, each Havona sphere
being directed by one of these Trinity-origin personalities. Eternals of Days
are not creators, but they are perfect administrators. They teach with supreme
skill and direct their planetary children with a perfection of wisdom
bordering on absoluteness.
14:3.4 The billion spheres of the central universe
constitute the training worlds of the high personalities native to Paradise
and Havona and further serve as the final proving grounds for ascending
creatures from the evolutionary worlds of time. In the execution of the
Universal Father's great plan of creature ascension the pilgrims of time are
landed on the receiving worlds of the outer or seventh circuit, and subsequent
to increased training and enlarged experience, they are progressively advanced
inward, planet by planet and circle by circle, until they finally attain the
Deities and achieve residence on Paradise.
14:3.5 At present, although the spheres of the seven
circuits are maintained in all their supernal glory, only about one per cent
of all planetary capacity is utilized in the work of furthering the Father's
universal plan of mortal ascension. About one tenth of one per cent of the
area of these enormous worlds is dedicated to the life and activities of the
Corps of the Finality, beings eternally settled in light and life who often
sojourn and minister on the Havona worlds. These exalted beings have their
personal residences on Paradise.
14:3.6 The planetary construction of the Havona
spheres is entirely unlike that of the evolutionary worlds and systems of
space. Nowhere else in all the grand universe is it convenient to utilize such
enormous spheres as inhabited worlds. Triata physical constitution, coupled
with the balancing effect of the immense dark gravity bodies, makes it
possible so perfectly to equalize the physical forces and so exquisitely to
balance the various attractions of this tremendous creation. Antigravity is
also employed in the organization of the material functions and the spiritual
activities of these enormous worlds.
14:3.7 The architecture, lighting, and heating, as
well as the biologic and artistic embellishment, of the Havona spheres, are
quite beyond the greatest possible stretch of human imagination. You cannot be
told much about Havona; to understand its beauty and grandeur you must see it.
But there are real rivers and lakes on these perfect worlds.
14:3.8 Spiritually these worlds are ideally
appointed; they are fittingly adapted to their purpose of harboring the
numerous orders of differing beings who function in the central universe.
Manifold activities take place on these beautiful worlds which are far beyond
human comprehension.
4. CREATURES OF THE CENTRAL UNIVERSE
14:4.1 There are seven basic forms of living things
and beings on the Havona worlds, and each of these basic forms exists in three
distinct phases. Each of these three phases is divided into seventy major
divisions, and each major division is composed of one thousand minor
divisions, with yet other subdivisions, and so on. These basic life groups
might be classified as:
1. Material.
2. Morontial.
3. Spiritual.
4. Absonite.
5. Ultimate.
6. Coabsolute.
7. Absolute.
14:4.2 Decay and death are not a part of the cycle
of life on the Havona worlds. In the central universe the lower living things
undergo the transmutation of materialization. They do change form and
manifestation, but they do not resolve by process of decay and cellular death.
14:4.3 The Havona natives are all the offspring of
the Paradise Trinity. They are without creature parents, and they are
nonreproducing beings. We cannot portray the creation of these citizens of the
central universe, beings who never were created. The entire story of the
creation of Havona is an attempt to time-space an eternity fact which has no
relation to time or space as mortal man comprehends them. But we must concede
human philosophy a point of origin; even personalities far above the human
level require a concept of "beginnings." Nevertheless, the Paradise-Havona
system is eternal.
14:4.4 The natives of Havona live on the billion
spheres of the central universe in the same sense that other orders of
permanent citizenship dwell on their respective spheres of nativity. As the
material order of sonship carries on the material, intellectual, and spiritual
economy of a billion local systems in a superuniverse, so, in a larger sense,
do the Havona natives live and function on the billion worlds of the central
universe. You might possibly regard these Havoners as material creatures in
the sense that the word "material" could be expanded to describe the physical
realities of the divine universe.
14:4.5 There is a life that is native to Havona and
possesses significance in and of itself. Havoners minister in many ways to
Paradise descenders and to superuniverse ascenders, but they also live lives
that are unique in the central universe and have relative meaning quite apart
from either Paradise or the superuniverses.
14:4.6 As the worship of the faith sons of the
evolutionary worlds ministers to the satisfaction of the Universal Father's
love, so the exalted adoration of the Havona creatures satiates the perfect
ideals of divine beauty and truth. As mortal man strives to do the will of
God, these beings of the central universe live to gratify the ideals of the
Paradise Trinity. In their very nature they are the will of God. Man rejoices
in the goodness of God, Havoners exult in the divine beauty, while you both
enjoy the ministry of the liberty of living truth.
14:4.7 Havoners have both optional present and
future unrevealed destinies. And there is a progression of native creatures
that is peculiar to the central universe, a progression that involves neither
ascent to Paradise nor penetration of the superuniverses. This progression to
higher Havona status may be suggested as follows:
1. Experiential progress outward from the first to
the seventh circuit.
2. Progress inward from the seventh to the first
circuit.
3. Intracircuit progress -- progression within the
worlds of a given circuit.
14:4.8 In addition to the Havona natives, the
inhabitants of the central universe embrace numerous classes of pattern beings
for various universe groups -- advisers, directors, and teachers of their kind
and to their kind throughout creation. All beings in all universes are
fashioned along the lines of some one order of pattern creature living on some
one of the billion worlds of Havona. Even the mortals of time have their goal
and ideals of creature existence on the outer circuits of these pattern
spheres on high.
14:4.9 Then there are those beings who have attained
the Universal Father, and who are entitled to go and come, who are assigned
here and there in the universes on missions of special service. And on every
Havona world will be found the attainment candidates, those who have
physically attained the central universe, but who have not yet achieved that
spiritual development which will enable them to claim Paradise
residence.
14:4.10 The Infinite Spirit is represented on the
Havona worlds by a host of personalities, beings of grace and glory, who
administer the details of the intricate intellectual and spiritual affairs of
the central universe. On these worlds of divine perfection they perform the
work indigenous to the normal conduct of this vast creation and, in addition,
carry on the manifold tasks of teaching, training, and ministering to the
enormous numbers of ascendant creatures who have climbed to glory from the
dark worlds of space.
14:4.11 There are numerous groups of beings native
to the Paradise-Havona system that are in no way directly associated with the
ascension scheme of creature perfection attainment; therefore are they omitted
from the personality classifications presented to the mortal races. Only the
major groups of superhuman beings and those orders directly connected with
your survival experience are herein presented.
14:4.12 Havona teems with the life of all phases of
intelligent beings, who there seek to advance from lower to higher circuits in
their efforts to attain higher levels of divinity realization and enlarged
appreciation of supreme meanings, ultimate values, and absolute
reality.
5. LIFE IN HAVONA
14:5.1 On Urantia you pass through a short and
intense test during your initial life of material existence. On the mansion
worlds and up through your system, constellation, and local universe, you
traverse the morontia phases of ascension. On the training worlds of the
superuniverse you pass through the true spirit stages of progression and are
prepared for eventual transit to Havona. On the seven circuits of Havona your
attainment is intellectual, spiritual, and experiential. And there is a
definite task to be achieved on each of the worlds of each of these
circuits.
14:5.2 Life on the divine worlds of the central
universe is so rich and full, so complete and replete, that it wholly
transcends the human concept of anything a created being could possibly
experience. The social and economic activities of this eternal creation are
entirely dissimilar to the occupations of material creatures living on
evolutionary worlds like Urantia. Even the technique of Havona thought is
unlike the process of thinking on Urantia.
14:5.3 The regulations of the central universe are
fittingly and inherently natural; the rules of conduct are not arbitrary. In
every requirement of Havona there is disclosed the reason of righteousness and
the rule of justice. And these two factors, combined, equal what on Urantia
would be denominated fairness. When you arrive in Havona, you will
naturally enjoy doing things the way they should be done.
14:5.4 When intelligent beings first attain the
central universe, they are received and domiciled on the pilot world of the
seventh Havona circuit. As the new arrivals progress spiritually, attain
identity comprehension of their superuniverse Master Spirit, they are
transferred to the sixth circle. (It is from these arrangements in the central
universe that the circles of progress in the human mind have been designated.)
After ascenders have attained a realization of Supremacy and are thereby
prepared for the Deity adventure, they are taken to the fifth circuit; and
after attaining the Infinite Spirit, they are transferred to the fourth.
Following the attainment of the Eternal Son, they are removed to the third;
and when they have recognized the Universal Father, they go to sojourn on the
second circuit of worlds, where they become more familiar with the Paradise
hosts. Arrival on the first circuit of Havona signifies the acceptance of the
candidates of time into the service of Paradise. Indefinitely, according to
the length and nature of the creature ascension, they will tarry on the inner
circuit of progressive spiritual attainment. From this inner circuit the
ascending pilgrims pass inward to Paradise residence and admission to the
Corps of the Finality.
14:5.5 During your sojourn in Havona as a pilgrim of
ascent, you will be allowed to visit freely among the worlds of the circuit of
your assignment. You will also be permitted to go back to the planets of those
circuits you have previously traversed. And all this is possible to those who
sojourn on the circles of Havona without the necessity of being
ensupernaphimed. The pilgrims of time are able to equip themselves to traverse
"achieved" space but must depend on the ordained technique to negotiate
"unachieved" space; a pilgrim cannot leave Havona nor go forward beyond his
assigned circuit without the aid of a transport supernaphim.
14:5.6 There is a refreshing originality about this
vast central creation. Aside from the physical organization of matter and the
fundamental constitution of the basic orders of intelligent beings and other
living things, there is nothing in common between the worlds of Havona. Every
one of these planets is an original, unique, and exclusive creation; each
planet is a matchless, superb, and perfect production. And this diversity of
individuality extends to all features of the physical, intellectual, and
spiritual aspects of planetary existence. Each of these billion perfection
spheres has been developed and embellished in accordance with the plans of the
resident Eternal of Days. And this is just why no two of them are
alike.
14:5.7 Not until you traverse the last of the Havona
circuits and visit the last of the Havona worlds, will the tonic of adventure
and the stimulus of curiosity disappear from your career. And then will the
urge, the forward impulse of eternity, replace its forerunner, the adventure
lure of time.
14:5.8 Monotony is indicative of immaturity of the
creative imagination and inactivity of intellectual co-ordination with the
spiritual endowment. By the time an ascendant mortal begins the exploration of
these heavenly worlds, he has already attained emotional, intellectual, and
social, if not spiritual, maturity.
14:5.9 Not only will you find undreamed-of changes
confronting you as you advance from circuit to circuit in Havona, but your
astonishment will be inexpressible as you progress from planet to planet
within each circuit. Each of these billion study worlds is a veritable
university of surprises. Continuing astonishment, unending wonder, is the
experience of those who traverse these circuits and tour these gigantic
spheres. Monotony is not a part of the Havona career.
14:5.10 Love of adventure, curiosity, and dread of
monotony -- these traits inherent in evolving human nature -- were not put
there just to aggravate and annoy you during your short sojourn on earth, but
rather to suggest to you that death is only the beginning of an endless career
of adventure, an everlasting life of anticipation, an eternal voyage of
discovery.
14:5.11 Curiosity -- the spirit of investigation,
the urge of discovery, the drive of exploration -- is a part of the inborn and
divine endowment of evolutionary space creatures. These natural impulses were
not given you merely to be frustrated and repressed. True, these ambitious
urges must frequently be restrained during your short life on earth,
disappointment must be often experienced, but they are to be fully realized
and gloriously gratified during the long ages to come.
6. THE PURPOSE OF THE CENTRAL UNIVERSE
14:6.1 The range of the activities of
seven-circuited Havona is enormous. In general, they may be described
as:
1. Havonal.
2. Paradisiacal.
3. Ascendant-finite -- Supreme-Ultimate
evolutional.
14:6.2 Many superfinite activities take place in the
Havona of the present universe age, involving untold diversities of absonite
and other phases of mind and spirit functions. It is possible that the central
universe serves many purposes which are not revealed to me, as it functions in
numerous ways beyond the comprehension of the created mind. Nevertheless, I
will endeavor to depict how this perfect creation ministers to the needs and
contributes to the satisfactions of seven orders of universe intelligence.
14:6.3 1. The Universal Father -- the First
Source and Center. God the Father derives supreme parental satisfaction from
the perfection of the central creation. He enjoys the experience of love
satiety on near-equality levels. The perfect Creator is divinely pleased with
the adoration of the perfect creature.
14:6.4 Havona affords the Father supreme achievement
gratification. The perfection realization in Havona compensates for the
time-space delay of the eternal urge of infinite expansion.
14:6.5 The Father enjoys the Havona reciprocation of
the divine beauty. It satisfies the divine mind to afford a perfect pattern of
exquisite harmony for all evolving universes.
14:6.6 Our Father beholds the central universe with
perfect pleasure because it is a worthy revelation of spirit reality to all
personalities of the universe of universes.
14:6.7 The God of universes has favorable regard for
Havona and Paradise as the eternal power nucleus for all subsequent universe
expansion in time and space.
14:6.8 The eternal Father views with never-ending
satisfaction the Havona creation as the worthy and alluring goal for the
ascension candidates of time, his mortal grandchildren of space achieving
their Creator-Father's eternal home. And God takes pleasure in the
Paradise-Havona universe as the eternal home of Deity and the divine family.
14:6.9 2. The Eternal Son -- the Second
Source and Center. To the Eternal Son the superb central creation affords
eternal proof of the partnership effectiveness of the divine family -- Father,
Son, and Spirit. It is the spiritual and material basis for absolute
confidence in the Universal Father.
14:6.10 Havona affords the Eternal Son an almost
unlimited base for the ever-expanding realization of spirit power. The central
universe afforded the Eternal Son the arena wherein he could safely and
securely demonstrate the spirit and technique of the bestowal ministry for the
instruction of his associate Paradise Sons.
14:6.11 Havona is the reality foundation for the
Eternal Son's spirit-gravity control of the universe of universes. This
universe affords the Son the gratification of parental craving, spiritual
reproduction.
14:6.12 The Havona worlds and their perfect
inhabitants are the first and the eternally final demonstration that the Son
is the Word of the Father. Thereby is the consciousness of the Son as an
infinite complement of the Father perfectly gratified.
14:6.13 And this universe affords the opportunity
for the realization of reciprocation of equality fraternity between the
Universal Father and the Eternal Son, and this constitutes the everlasting
proof of the infinite personality of each.
14:6.14 3. The Infinite Spirit -- the Third
Source and Center. The Havona universe affords the Infinite Spirit proof of
being the Conjoint Actor, the infinite representative of the unified
Father-Son. In Havona the Infinite Spirit derives the combined satisfaction of
functioning as a creative activity while enjoying the satisfaction of absolute
coexistence with this divine achievement.
14:6.15 In Havona the Infinite Spirit found an arena
wherein he could demonstrate the ability and willingness to serve as a
potential mercy minister. In this perfect creation the Spirit rehearsed for
the adventure of ministry in the evolutionary universes.
14:6.16 This perfect creation afforded the Infinite
Spirit opportunity to participate in universe administration with both divine
parents -- to administer a universe as associate-Creator offspring, thereby
preparing for the joint administration of the local universes as the Creative
Spirit associates of the Creator Sons.
14:6.17 The Havona worlds are the mind laboratory of
the creators of the cosmic mind and the ministers to every creature mind in
existence. Mind is different on each Havona world and serves as the pattern
for all spiritual and material creature intellects.
14:6.18 These perfect worlds are the mind graduate
schools for all beings destined for Paradise society. They afforded the Spirit
abundant opportunity to test out the technique of mind ministry on safe and
advisory personalities.
14:6.19 Havona is a compensation to the Infinite
Spirit for his widespread and unselfish work in the universes of space. Havona
is the perfect home and retreat for the untiring Mind Minister of time and
space.
14:6.20 4. The Supreme Being -- the
evolutionary unification of experiential Deity. The Havona creation is the
eternal and perfect proof of the spiritual reality of the Supreme Being. This
perfect creation is a revelation of the perfect and symmetrical spirit nature
of God the Supreme before the beginnings of the power-personality synthesis of
the finite reflections of the Paradise Deities in the experiential universes
of time and space.
14:6.21 In Havona the power potentials of the
Almighty are unified with the spiritual nature of the Supreme. This central
creation is an exemplification of the future-eternal unity of the
Supreme.
14:6.22 Havona is a perfect pattern of the
universality potential of the Supreme. This universe is a finished portrayal
of the future perfection of the Supreme and is suggestive of the potential of
the Ultimate.
14:6.23 Havona exhibits finality of spirit values
existing as living will creatures of supreme and perfect self-control; mind
existing as ultimately equivalent to spirit; reality and unity of intelligence
with an unlimited potential.
14:6.24 5. The Co-ordinate Creator Sons.
Havona is the educational training ground where the Paradise Michaels are
prepared for their subsequent adventures in universe creation. This divine and
perfect creation is a pattern for every Creator Son. He strives to make his
own universe eventually attain to these Paradise-Havona levels of
perfection.
14:6.25 A Creator Son uses the creatures of Havona
as personality-pattern possibilities for his own mortal children and spirit
beings. The Michael and other Paradise Sons view Paradise and Havona as the
divine destiny of the children of time.
14:6.26 The Creator Sons know that the central
creation is the real source of that indispensable universe overcontrol which
stabilizes and unifies their local universes. They know that the personal
presence of the ever-present influence of the Supreme and of the Ultimate is
in Havona.
14:6.27 Havona and Paradise are the source of a
Michael Son's creative power. Here dwell the beings who co-operate with him in
universe creation. From Paradise come the Universe Mother Spirits, the
cocreators of local universes.
14:6.28 The Paradise Sons regard the central
creation as the home of their divine parents -- their home. It is the place
they enjoy returning to ever and anon.
14:6.29 6. The Co-ordinate Ministering
Daughters. The Universe Mother Spirits, cocreators of the local universes,
secure their prepersonal training on the worlds of Havona in close association
with the Spirits of the Circuits. In the central universe the Spirit Daughters
of the local universes were duly trained in the methods of co-operation with
the Sons of Paradise, all the while subject to the will of the
Father.
14:6.30 On the worlds of Havona the Spirit and the
Daughters of the Spirit find the mind patterns for all their groups of
spiritual and material intelligences, and this central universe is the
sometime destiny of those creatures which a Universe Mother Spirit jointly
sponsors with an associated Creator Son.
14:6.31 The Universe Mother Creator remembers
Paradise and Havona as the place of her origin and the home of the Infinite
Mother Spirit, the abode of the personality presence of the Infinite
Mind.
14:6.32 From this central universe also came the
bestowal of the personal prerogatives of creatorship which a Universe Divine
Minister employs as complemental to a Creator Son in the work of creating
living will creatures.
14:6.33 And lastly, since these Daughter Spirits of
the Infinite Mother Spirit will not likely ever return to their Paradise home,
they derive great satisfaction from the universal reflectivity phenomenon
associated with the Supreme Being in Havona and personalized in Majeston on
Paradise.
14:6.34 7. The Evolutionary Mortals of the
Ascending Career. Havona is the home of the pattern personality of every
mortal type and the home of all superhuman personalities of mortal association
who are not native to the creations of time.
14:6.35 These worlds provide the stimulus of all
human impulses towards the attainment of true spirit values on the highest
conceivable reality levels. Havona is the pre-Paradise training goal of every
ascending mortal. Here mortals attain pre-Paradise Deity -- the Supreme Being.
Havona stands before every will creature as the portal to Paradise and God
attainment.
14:6.36 Paradise is the home, and Havona the
workshop and playground, of the finaliters. And every God-knowing mortal
craves to be a finaliter.
14:6.37 The central universe is not only man's
established destiny, but it is also the starting place of the eternal career
of the finaliters as they shall sometime be started out on the undisclosed and
universal adventure in the experience of exploring the infinity of the
Universal Father.
14:6.38 Havona will unquestionably continue to
function with absonite significance even in future universe ages which may
witness space pilgrims attempting to find God on superfinite levels. Havona
has capacity to serve as a training universe for absonite beings. It will
probably be the finishing school when the seven superuniverses are functioning
as the intermediate school for the graduates of the primary schools of outer
space. And we incline to the opinion that the potentials of eternal Havona are
really unlimited, that the central universe has eternal capacity to serve as
an experiential training universe for all past, present, or future types of
created beings.
14:6.39 Presented
by a Perfector of Wisdom commissioned thus to function by the Ancients of Days
on Uversa.
