The Eternal Isle of Paradise

11:4.1The cen­tral Isle ends abruptly at the pe­riph­ery, but its size is so enor­mous that this ter­mi­nal an­gle is rel­a­tively in­dis­cernible within any cir­cum­scribed area. The pe­riph­eral sur­face of Par­a­dise is oc­cu­pied, in part, by the land­ing and dis­patch­ing fields for var­i­ous groups of spirit per­son­al­i­ties. Since the non­per­vaded-space zones nearly im­pinge upon the pe­riph­ery, all per­son­al­ity trans­ports des­tined to Par­a­dise land in these re­gions. Nei­ther up­per nor nether Par­a­dise is ap­proach­able by trans­port super­na­phim or other types of space tra­versers.

11:4.2The Seven Mas­ter Spir­its have their per­sonal seats of power and au­thor­ity on the seven spheres of the Spirit, which cir­cle about Par­a­dise in the space be­tween the shin­ing orbs of the Son and the in­ner cir­cuit of the Ha­vona worlds, but they main­tain force-fo­cal head­quar­ters on the Par­a­dise pe­riph­ery. Here the slowly cir­cu­lat­ing pres­ences of the Seven Su­preme Power Di­rec­tors in­di­cate the lo­ca­tion of the seven flash sta­tions for cer­tain Par­a­dise en­er­gies go­ing forth to the seven super­uni­verses.

11:4.3Here on pe­riph­eral Par­a­dise are the enor­mous his­toric and pro­phetic ex­hibit ar­eas as­signed to the Cre­ator Sons, ded­i­cated to the lo­cal uni­verses of time and space. There are just seven tril­lion of these his­toric reser­va­tions now set up or in re­serve, but these ar­range­ments all to­gether oc­cupy only about four per cent of that por­tion of the pe­riph­eral area thus as­signed. We in­fer that these vast re­serves be­long to cre­ations some­time to be sit­u­ated be­yond the bor­ders of the pres­ent known and in­hab­ited seven super­uni­verses.

11:4.4That por­tion of Par­a­dise which has been des­ig­nated for the use of the ex­ist­ing uni­verses is oc­cu­pied only from one to four per cent, while the area as­signed to these ac­tiv­i­ties is at least one mil­lion times that ac­tu­ally re­quired for such pur­poses. Par­a­dise is large enough to ac­com­mo­date the ac­tiv­i­ties of an al­most in­fi­nite cre­ation.

11:4.5But a fur­ther at­tempt to vi­su­al­ize to you the glo­ries of Par­a­dise would be fu­tile. You must wait, and as­cend while you wait, for truly, “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nei­ther has it en­tered into the mind of mor­tal man, the things which the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther has pre­pared for those who sur­vive the life in the flesh on the worlds of time and space.”
