The Seven Superuniverses

15:14.1There are seven ma­jor pur­poses which are be­ing un­folded in the evo­lu­tion of the seven super­uni­verses. Each ma­jor pur­pose in super­uni­verse evo­lu­tion will find fullest ex­pres­sion in only one of the seven super­uni­verses, and there­fore does each super­uni­verse have a spe­cial func­tion and a unique na­ture.

15:14.2Or­von­ton, the sev­enth super­uni­verse, the one to which your lo­cal uni­verse be­longs, is known chiefly be­cause of its tremen­dous and lav­ish be­stowal of mer­ci­ful min­istry to the mor­tals of the realms. It is renowned for the man­ner in which jus­tice pre­vails as tem­pered by mercy and power rules as con­di­tioned by pa­tience, while the sac­ri­fices of time are freely made to se­cure the sta­bi­liza­tion of eter­nity. Or­von­ton is a uni­verse dem­on­stra­tion of love and mercy.

15:14.3It is, how­ever, very dif­fi­cult to de­scribe our con­cep­tion of the true na­ture of the evo­lu­tion­ary pur­pose which is un­fold­ing in Or­von­ton, but it may be sug­gested by say­ing that in this super­cre­ation we feel that the six unique pur­poses of cos­mic evo­lu­tion as man­i­fested in the six as­so­ci­ated super­cre­ations are here be­ing in­teras­so­ci­ated into a mean­ing-of-the-whole; and it is for this rea­son that we have some­times con­jec­tured that the evolved and fin­ished per­son­al­iza­tion of God the Su­preme will in the re­mote fu­ture and from Uversa rule the per­fected seven super­uni­verses in all the ex­pe­ri­en­tial majesty of his then at­tained al­mighty sov­er­eign power.

15:14.4As Or­von­ton is unique in na­ture and in­di­vid­ual in des­tiny, so also is each of its six as­so­ci­ated super­uni­verses. A great deal that is go­ing on in Or­von­ton is not, how­ever, re­vealed to you, and of these un­re­vealed fea­tures of Or­von­ton life, many are to find most com­plete ex­pres­sion in some other super­uni­verse. The seven pur­poses of super­uni­verse evo­lu­tion are op­er­a­tive through­out all seven super­uni­verses, but each super­cre­ation will give fullest ex­pres­sion to only one of these pur­poses. To un­der­stand more about these super­uni­verse pur­poses, much that you do not un­der­stand would have to be re­vealed, and even then you would com­pre­hend but lit­tle. This en­tire nar­ra­tive pre­sents only a fleet­ing glimpse of the im­mense cre­ation of which your world and lo­cal sys­tem are a part.

15:14.5Your world is called Uran­tia, and it is num­ber 606 in the plan­e­tary group, or sys­tem, of Sa­ta­nia. This sys­tem has at pres­ent 619 in­hab­ited worlds, and more than two hun­dred ad­di­tional plan­ets are evolv­ing fa­vor­ably to­ward be­com­ing in­hab­ited worlds at some fu­ture time.

15:14.6Sa­ta­nia has a head­quar­ters world called Je­ru­sem, and it is sys­tem num­ber twenty-four in the con­stel­la­tion of Nor­la­ti­adek. Your con­stel­la­tion, Nor­la­ti­adek, con­sists of one hun­dred lo­cal sys­tems and has a head­quar­ters world called Eden­tia. Nor­la­ti­adek is num­ber sev­enty in the uni­verse of Neb­a­don. The lo­cal uni­verse of Neb­a­don con­sists of one hun­dred con­stel­la­tions and has a cap­i­tal known as Sal­ving­ton. The uni­verse of Neb­a­don is num­ber eighty-four in the mi­nor sec­tor of Ensa.

15:14.7The mi­nor sec­tor of Ensa con­sists of one hun­dred lo­cal uni­verses and has a cap­i­tal called Umi­nor the third. This mi­nor sec­tor is num­ber three in the ma­jor sec­tor of Splan­don. Splan­don con­sists of one hun­dred mi­nor sec­tors and has a head­quar­ters world called Uma­jor the fifth. It is the fifth ma­jor sec­tor of the super­uni­verse of Or­von­ton, the sev­enth seg­ment of the grand uni­verse. Thus you can lo­cate your planet in the scheme of the or­ga­ni­za­tion and ad­min­is­tra­tion of the uni­verse of uni­verses.

15:14.8The grand uni­verse num­ber of your world, Uran­tia, is 5,342,482,337,666. That is the reg­istry num­ber on Uversa and on Par­a­dise, your num­ber in the cat­a­logue of the in­hab­ited worlds. I know the phys­i­cal-sphere reg­istry num­ber, but it is of such an ex­traor­di­nary size that it is of lit­tle prac­ti­cal sig­nif­i­cance to the mor­tal mind.

15:14.9Your planet is a mem­ber of an enor­mous cos­mos; you be­long to a well-nigh in­fi­nite fam­ily of worlds, but your sphere is just as pre­cisely ad­min­is­tered and just as lov­ingly fos­tered as if it were the only in­hab­ited world in all ex­is­tence.
