The Central and Divine Universe

14:2.1Spirit 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.

14:2.2The 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.

14:2.3The 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.

14:2.4None 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.

14:2.5There 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.

14:2.6All 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 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.

14:2.7The 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.

14:2.8Like­wise 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.

14:2.9Ha­vona 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.
