Paper 15

The Seven Superuniverses

Universal Censor

15:0.1As far as the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther is con­cerned—as a Fa­ther—the uni­verses are vir­tu­ally nonex­is­tent; he deals with per­son­al­i­ties; he is the Fa­ther of per­son­al­i­ties. As far as the Eter­nal Son and the In­fi­nite Spirit are con­cerned—as cre­ator part­ners—the uni­verses are lo­cal­ized and in­di­vid­ual un­der the joint rule of the Cre­ator Sons and the Cre­ative Spir­its. As far as the Par­a­dise Trin­ity is con­cerned, out­side Ha­vona there are just seven in­hab­ited uni­verses, the seven super­uni­verses which hold ju­ris­dic­tion over the cir­cle of the first post-Ha­vona space level. The Seven Mas­ter Spir­its ra­di­ate their in­flu­ence out from the cen­tral Isle, thus con­sti­tut­ing the vast cre­ation one gi­gan­tic wheel, the hub be­ing the eter­nal Isle of Par­a­dise, the seven spokes the ra­di­a­tions of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its, the rim the outer re­gions of the grand uni­verse.

15:0.2Early in the ma­te­ri­al­iza­tion of the uni­ver­sal cre­ation the sev­en­fold scheme of the super­uni­verse or­ga­ni­za­tion and gov­ern­ment was for­mu­lated. The first post-Ha­vona cre­ation was di­vided into seven stu­pen­dous seg­ments, and the head­quar­ters worlds of these super­uni­verse gov­ern­ments were de­signed and con­structed. The pres­ent scheme of ad­min­is­tra­tion has ex­isted from near eter­nity, and the rulers of these seven super­uni­verses are rightly called An­cients of Days.

15:0.3Of the vast body of knowl­edge con­cern­ing the super­uni­verses, I can hope to tell you lit­tle, but there is op­er­a­tive through­out these realms a tech­nique of in­tel­li­gent con­trol for both phys­i­cal and spir­i­tual forces, and the uni­ver­sal grav­ity pres­ences there func­tion in ma­jes­tic power and per­fect har­mony. It is im­por­tant first to gain an ad­e­quate idea of the phys­i­cal con­sti­tu­tion and ma­te­rial or­ga­ni­za­tion of the super­uni­verse do­mains, for then you will be the bet­ter pre­pared to grasp the sig­nif­i­cance of the mar­velous or­ga­ni­za­tion pro­vided for their spir­i­tual gov­ern­ment and for the in­tel­lec­tual ad­vance­ment of the will crea­tures who dwell on the myr­i­ads of in­hab­ited plan­ets scat­tered hither and yon through­out these seven super­uni­verses.
