The Seven Superuniverses

15:2.1Only the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther knows the lo­ca­tion and ac­tual num­ber of in­hab­ited worlds in space; he calls them all by name and num­ber. I can give only the ap­prox­i­mate num­ber of in­hab­ited or in­hab­it­able plan­ets, for some lo­cal uni­verses have more worlds suit­able for in­tel­li­gent life than oth­ers. Nor have all pro­jected lo­cal uni­verses been or­ga­nized. There­fore the es­ti­mates which I of­fer are solely for the pur­pose of af­ford­ing some idea of the im­men­sity of the ma­te­rial cre­ation.

15:2.2There are seven super­uni­verses in the grand uni­verse, and they are con­sti­tuted ap­prox­i­mately as fol­lows:

15:2.31. The Sys­tem. The ba­sic unit of the super­gov­ern­ment con­sists of about one thou­sand in­hab­ited or in­hab­it­able worlds. Blaz­ing suns, cold worlds, plan­ets too near the hot suns, and other spheres not suit­able for crea­ture habi­ta­tion are not in­cluded in this group. These one thou­sand worlds adapted to sup­port life are called a sys­tem, but in the younger sys­tems only a com­par­a­tively small num­ber of these worlds may be in­hab­ited. Each in­hab­ited planet is pre­sided over by a Plan­e­tary Prince, and each lo­cal sys­tem has an ar­chi­tec­tural sphere as its head­quar­ters and is ruled by a Sys­tem Sov­er­eign.

15:2.42. The Con­stel­la­tion. One hun­dred sys­tems (about 100,000 in­hab­it­able plan­ets) make up a con­stel­la­tion. Each con­stel­la­tion has an ar­chi­tec­tural head­quar­ters sphere and is pre­sided over by three Vo­ron­da­dek Sons, the Most Highs. Each con­stel­la­tion also has a Faith­ful of Days in ob­ser­va­tion, an am­bas­sador of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity.

15:2.53. The Lo­cal Uni­verse. One hun­dred con­stel­la­tions (about 10,000,000 in­hab­it­able plan­ets) con­sti­tute a lo­cal uni­verse. Each lo­cal uni­verse has a mag­nif­i­cent ar­chi­tec­tural head­quar­ters world and is ruled by one of the co-or­di­nate Cre­ator Sons of God of the or­der of Mi­chael. Each uni­verse is blessed by the pres­ence of a Union of Days, a rep­re­sen­ta­tive of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity.

15:2.64. The Mi­nor Sec­tor. One hun­dred lo­cal uni­verses (about 1,000,000,000 in­hab­it­able plan­ets) con­sti­tute a mi­nor sec­tor of the super­uni­verse gov­ern­ment; it has a won­der­ful head­quar­ters world, where­from its rulers, the Re­cents of Days, ad­min­is­ter the af­fairs of the mi­nor sec­tor. There are three Re­cents of Days, Su­preme Trin­ity Per­son­al­i­ties, on each mi­nor sec­tor head­quar­ters.

15:2.75. The Ma­jor Sec­tor. One hun­dred mi­nor sec­tors (about 100,000,000,000 in­hab­it­able worlds) make one ma­jor sec­tor. Each ma­jor sec­tor is pro­vided with a su­perb head­quar­ters and is pre­sided over by three Per­fec­tions of Days, Su­preme Trin­ity Per­son­al­i­ties.

15:2.86. The Super­uni­verse. Ten ma­jor sec­tors (about 1,000,000,000,000 in­hab­it­able plan­ets) con­sti­tute a super­uni­verse. Each super­uni­verse is pro­vided with an enor­mous and glo­ri­ous head­quar­ters world and is ruled by three An­cients of Days.

15:2.97. The Grand Uni­verse. Seven super­uni­verses make up the pres­ent or­ga­nized grand uni­verse, con­sist­ing of ap­prox­i­mately seven tril­lion in­hab­it­able worlds plus the ar­chi­tec­tural spheres and the one bil­lion in­hab­ited spheres of Ha­vona. The super­uni­verses are ruled and ad­min­is­tered in­di­rectly and re­flec­tively from Par­a­dise by the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its. The bil­lion worlds of Ha­vona are di­rectly ad­min­is­tered by the Eter­nals of Days, one such Su­preme Trin­ity Per­son­al­ity pre­sid­ing over each of these per­fect spheres.

15:2.10Ex­clud­ing the Par­a­dise-Ha­vona spheres, the plan of uni­verse or­ga­ni­za­tion pro­vides for the fol­low­ing units:

15:2.11Super­uni­verses 7

15:2.12Ma­jor sec­tors 70

15:2.13Mi­nor sec­tors 7,000

15:2.14Lo­cal uni­verses 700,000

15:2.15Con­stel­la­tions 70,000,000

15:2.16Lo­cal sys­tems 7,000,000,000

15:2.17In­hab­it­able plan­ets 7,000,000,000,000

15:2.18Each of the seven super­uni­verses is con­sti­tuted, ap­prox­i­mately, as fol­lows:

15:2.19One sys­tem em­braces, ap­prox­i­mately 1,000 worlds

15:2.20One con­stel­la­tion (100 sys­tems) 100,000 worlds

15:2.21One uni­verse (100 con­stel­la­tions) 10,000,000 worlds

15:2.22One mi­nor sec­tor (100 uni­verses) 1,000,000,000 worlds

15:2.23One ma­jor sec­tor (100 mi­nor sec­tors) 100,000,000,000 worlds

15:2.24One super­uni­verse (10 ma­jor sec­tors) 1,000,000,000,000 worlds

15:2.25All such es­ti­mates are ap­prox­i­ma­tions at best, for new sys­tems are con­stantly evolv­ing while other or­ga­ni­za­tions are tem­porar­ily pass­ing out of ma­te­rial ex­is­tence.
