P.152 - §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.
P.152 - §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 - P.152
P.152 - §3 From the periphery of Paradise to the inner borders of the seven superuniverses there are the following seven space conditions and motions:
P.152 - §4 1. The quiescent midspace zones impinging on Paradise.
P.152 - §5 2. The clockwise processional of the three Paradise and the seven Havona circuits.
P.152 - §6 3. The semiquiet space zone separating the Havona circuits from the dark gravity bodies of the central universe.
P.152 - §7 4. The inner, counterclockwise-moving belt of the dark gravity bodies.
P.152 - §8 5. The second unique space zone dividing the two space paths of the dark gravity bodies.
P.152 - §9 6. The outer belt of dark gravity bodies, revolving clockwise around Paradise.
P.152 - §10 7. A third space zone--a semiquiet zone--separating the outer belt of dark gravity bodies from the innermost circuits of the seven superuniverses.
P.153 - §1 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.
P.153 - §2 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.
P.153 - §3 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.
P.153 - §4 This Paradise-Havona day is the standard time measurement for the seven superuniverses, although each maintains its own internal time standards.
P.153 - §5 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.
P.153 - §6 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.
P.153 - §7 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 P.154 - §0 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.
P.154 - §1 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.
P.154 - §2 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 - P.154
P.154 - §3 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.
P.154 - §4 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.
P.154 - §5 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.
P.154 - §6 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.
P.154 - §7 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.
P.154 - §8 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
P.155 - §0 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.
P.155 - §1 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.
P.155 - §2 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.
P.155 - §3 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 - P.155
P.155 - §4 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.
P.155 - §5 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.
P.155 - §6 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.
P.156 - §0 They teach with supreme skill and direct their planetary
children with a perfection of wisdom bordering on absoluteness.
P.156 - §1 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.
P.156 - §2 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.
P.156 - §3 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.
P.156 - §4 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.
P.156 - §5 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 - P.156
P.156 - §6 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:
P.156 - §7 1. Material.
P.156 - §8 2. Morontial.
P.156 - §9 3. Spiritual.
P.156 - §10 4. Absonite.
P.156 - §11 5. Ultimate.
P.156 - §12 6. Coabsolute.
P.156 - §13 7. Absolute.
P.157 - §1 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.
P.157 - §2 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.
P.157 - §3 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.
P.157 - §4 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.
P.157 - §5 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.
P.157 - §6 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:
P.157 - §7 1. Experiential progress outward from the first to the
seventh circuit.
P.157 - §8 2. Progress inward from the seventh to the first circuit.
P.157 - §9 3. Intracircuit progress--progression within the worlds of a given circuit.
P.157 - §10 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.
P.157 - §11 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
P.158 - §0 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.
P.158 - §1 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.
P.158 - §2 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.
P.158 - §3 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 - P.158
P.158 - §4 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.
P.158 - §5 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.
P.158 - §6 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.
P.158 - §7 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
P.159 - §0 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.
P.159 - §1 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.
P.159 - §2 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.
P.159 - §3 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.
P.159 - §4 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.
P.159 - §5 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.
P.159 - §6 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.
P.160 - §1 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 - P.160
P.160 - §2 The range of the activities of seven-circuited Havona is enormous. In general, they may be described as:
P.160 - §3 1. Havonal.
P.160 - §4 2. Paradisiacal.
P.160 - §5 3. Ascendant-finite--Supreme-Ultimate evolutional.
P.160 - §6 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.
P.160 - §7 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.
P.160 - §8 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.
P.160 - §9 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.
P.160 - §10 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.
P.160 - §11 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.
P.160 - §12 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.
P.160 - §13 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.
P.160 - §14 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
P.161 - §0 technique of the bestowal ministry for the instruction
of his associate Paradise Sons.
P.161 - §1 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.
P.161 - §2 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.
P.161 - §3 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.
P.161 - §4 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.
P.161 - §5 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.
P.161 - §6 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.
P.161 - §7 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.
P.161 - §8 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.
P.161 - §9 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.
P.161 - §10 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.
P.161 - §11 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.
P.161 - §12 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.
P.162 - §1 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.
P.162 - §2 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.
P.162 - §3 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.
P.162 - §4 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.
P.162 - §5 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.
P.162 - §6 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.
P.162 - §7 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.
P.162 - §8 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.
P.162 - §9 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.
P.162 - §10 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.
P.162 - §11 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.
P.162 - §12 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.
P.162 - §13 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.
P.163 - §1 Paradise is the home, and Havona the workshop and playground,
of the finaliters. And every God-knowing mortal craves to be a finaliter.
P.163 - §2 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.
P.163 - §3 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.
