Paper 14

The Central and Divine Universe

Perfector of Wisdom

14:0.1The 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.

14:0.2This 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.
