PAPER 14
THE CENTRAL AND DIVINE UNIVERSE
Presented by a Perfector of Wisdom commissioned thus to function
by the Ancients of Days on Uversa.
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.
