The Sacred Spheres of Paradise

13:0.1Be­tween the cen­tral Isle of Par­a­dise and the in­ner­most of the Ha­vona plan­e­tary cir­cuits there are sit­u­ated in space three lesser cir­cuits of spe­cial spheres. The in­ner­most cir­cuit con­sists of the seven se­cret spheres of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther; the sec­ond group is com­posed of the seven lu­mi­nous worlds of the Eter­nal Son; in the out­er­most are the seven im­mense spheres of the In­fi­nite Spirit, the ex­ec­u­tive-head­quar­ters worlds of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its.

13:0.2These three seven-world cir­cuits of the Fa­ther, the Son, and the Spirit are spheres of un­ex­celled grandeur and unimag­ined glory. Even their ma­te­rial or phys­i­cal con­struc­tion is of an or­der un­re­vealed to you. Each cir­cuit is di­verse in ma­te­rial, and each world of each cir­cuit is dif­fer­ent ex­cept­ing the seven worlds of the Son, which are alike in phys­i­cal con­sti­tu­tion. All twenty-one are enor­mous spheres, and each group of seven is dif­fer­ently eter­nal­ized. As far as we know they have al­ways been; like Par­a­dise they are eter­nal. There ex­ists nei­ther rec­ord nor tra­di­tion of their ori­gin.

13:0.3The seven se­cret spheres of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther, cir­cu­lat­ing about Par­a­dise in close prox­im­ity to the eter­nal Isle, are highly re­flec­tive of the spir­i­tual lu­mi­nos­ity of the cen­tral shin­ing of the eter­nal De­i­ties, shed­ding this light of di­vine glory through­out Par­a­dise and even upon the seven cir­cuits of Ha­vona.

13:0.4On the seven sa­cred worlds of the Eter­nal Son there ap­pear to take ori­gin the im­per­sonal en­er­gies of spirit lu­mi­nos­ity. No per­sonal be­ing may so­journ on any of these seven shin­ing realms. With spir­i­tual glory they il­lu­mi­nate all Par­a­dise and Ha­vona, and they di­rec­tion­ize pure spirit lu­mi­nos­ity to the seven super­uni­verses. These bril­liant spheres of the sec­ond cir­cuit like­wise emit their light (light with­out heat) to Par­a­dise and to the bil­lion worlds of the seven-cir­cuited cen­tral uni­verse.

13:0.5The seven worlds of the In­fi­nite Spirit are oc­cu­pied by the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its, who pre­side over the des­tinies of the seven super­uni­verses, send­ing forth the spir­i­tual il­lu­mi­na­tion of the Third Per­son of De­ity to these cre­ations of time and space. And all Ha­vona, but not the Isle of Par­a­dise, is bathed in these spir­i­tu­al­iz­ing in­flu­ences.

13:0.6Al­though the worlds of the Fa­ther are ul­ti­mate sta­tus spheres for all Fa­ther-en­dowed per­son­al­i­ties, this is not their ex­clu­sive func­tion. Many be­ings and en­ti­ties other than per­sonal so­journ on these worlds. Each world in the cir­cuit of the Fa­ther and the cir­cuit of the Spirit has a dis­tinct type of per­ma­nent cit­i­zen­ship, but we think the Son’s worlds are in­hab­ited by uni­form types of other-than-per­sonal be­ings. Fa­ther frag­ments are among the na­tives of Di­vin­ing­ton; the other or­ders of per­ma­nent cit­i­zen­ship are un­re­vealed to you.

13:0.7The twenty-one Par­a­dise satel­lites serve many pur­poses in both cen­tral and super­uni­verses not dis­closed in these nar­ra­tives. You are able to un­der­stand so lit­tle of the life of these spheres that you can­not hope to gain any­thing like a con­sis­tent view of them, ei­ther as to na­ture or func­tion; thou­sands of ac­tiv­i­ties are there go­ing on which are un­re­vealed to you. These twenty-one spheres em­brace the po­ten­tials of the func­tion of the mas­ter uni­verse. These pa­pers af­ford only a fleet­ing glimpse of cer­tain cir­cum­scribed ac­tiv­i­ties per­tain­ing to the pres­ent uni­verse age of the grand uni­verse—rather, one of the seven sec­tors of the grand uni­verse.
