The Central and Divine Universe

14:4.1There 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:

14:4.21. Ma­te­rial.

14:4.32. Mor­ontial.

14:4.43. Spir­i­tual.

14:4.54. Ab­so­nite.

14:4.65. Ul­ti­mate.

14:4.76. Coab­so­lute.

14:4.87. Ab­so­lute.

14:4.9De­cay 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.

14:4.10The 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.

14:4.11The 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.

14:4.12There 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.

14:4.13As 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.

14:4.14Havon­ers 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:

14:4.151. Ex­pe­ri­en­tial prog­ress out­ward from the first to the sev­enth cir­cuit.

14:4.162. Prog­ress in­ward from the sev­enth to the first cir­cuit.

14:4.173. In­tracir­cuit prog­ress—pro­gres­sion within the worlds of a given cir­cuit.

14:4.18In 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.

14:4.19Then 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 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.

14:4.20The 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.

14:4.21There 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.

14:4.22Ha­vona 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.
