Paper 14 — The Central and Divine Universe

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.
