The Constellations

43:7.1Uni­v­i­ta­tia are the per­ma­nent cit­i­zens of Eden­tia and its as­so­ci­ated worlds, all seven hun­dred sev­enty worlds sur­round­ing the con­stel­la­tion head­quar­ters be­ing un­der their super­vi­sion. These chil­dren of the Cre­ator Son and the Cre­ative Spirit are pro­jected on a plane of ex­is­tence in be­tween the ma­te­rial and the spir­i­tual, but they are not mor­ontia crea­tures. The na­tives of each of the sev­enty ma­jor spheres of Eden­tia pos­sess dif­fer­ent vis­i­ble forms, and the mor­ontia mor­tals have their mor­ontia forms at­tuned to cor­re­spond with the as­cend­ing scale of the uni­v­i­ta­tia each time they change res­i­dence from one Eden­tia sphere to an­other as they pass suc­ces­sively from world num­ber one to world num­ber sev­enty.

43:7.2Spir­i­tu­ally, the uni­v­i­ta­tia are alike; in­tel­lec­tu­ally, they vary as do mor­tals; in form, they much re­sem­ble the mor­ontia state of ex­is­tence, and they are cre­ated to func­tion in sev­enty di­verse or­ders of per­son­al­ity. Each of these or­ders of uni­v­i­ta­tia ex­hibits ten ma­jor vari­a­tions of in­tel­lec­tual ac­tiv­ity, and each of these vary­ing in­tel­lec­tual types pre­sides over the spe­cial train­ing and cul­tural schools of pro­gres­sive oc­cu­pa­tional or prac­ti­cal so­cial­iza­tion on some one of the ten satel­lites which swing around each of the ma­jor Eden­tia worlds.

43:7.3These seven hun­dred mi­nor worlds are tech­ni­cal spheres of prac­ti­cal ed­u­ca­tion in the work­ing of the en­tire lo­cal uni­verse and are open to all classes of in­tel­li­gent be­ings. These train­ing schools of spe­cial skill and tech­ni­cal knowl­edge are not con­ducted ex­clu­sively for as­cend­ing mor­tals, al­though mor­ontia stu­dents con­sti­tute by far the largest group of all those who at­tend these courses of train­ing. When you are re­ceived on any one of the sev­enty ma­jor worlds of so­cial cul­ture, you are im­me­di­ately given clear­ance for each of the ten sur­round­ing satel­lites.

43:7.4In the var­i­ous cour­tesy colonies, as­cend­ing mor­ontia mor­tals pre­dom­i­nate among the re­ver­sion di­rec­tors, but the uni­v­i­ta­tia rep­re­sent the largest group as­so­ci­ated with the Neb­a­don corps of ce­les­tial ar­ti­sans. In all Or­von­ton no ex­tra-Ha­vona be­ings ex­cept­ing the Uversa aban­don­ters can equal the uni­v­i­ta­tia in artis­tic skill, so­cial adapt­abil­ity, and co-or­di­nat­ing clev­er­ness.

43:7.5These cit­i­zens of the con­stel­la­tion are not ac­tu­ally mem­bers of the ar­ti­san corps, but they freely work with all groups and con­tribute much to mak­ing the con­stel­la­tion worlds the chief spheres for the re­al­iza­tion of the mag­nif­i­cent artis­tic pos­si­bil­i­ties of tran­si­tion cul­ture. They do not func­tion be­yond the con­fines of the con­stel­la­tion head­quar­ters worlds.
