Paper 47

The Seven Mansion Worlds

Brilliant Evening Star

47:0.1The Cre­ator Son, when on Uran­tia, spoke of the “many man­sions in the Fa­ther’s uni­verse.” In a cer­tain sense, all fifty-six of the en­cir­cling worlds of Je­ru­sem are de­voted to the tran­si­tional cul­ture of as­cend­ing mor­tals, but the seven satel­lites of world num­ber one are more specif­i­cally known as the man­sion worlds.

47:0.2Tran­si­tion world num­ber one it­self is quite ex­clu­sively de­voted to as­cen­dant ac­tiv­i­ties, be­ing the head­quar­ters of the fi­nal­i­ter corps as­signed to Sa­ta­nia. This world now serves as the head­quar­ters for more than one hun­dred thou­sand com­pa­nies of fi­nal­i­ters, and there are one thou­sand glo­ri­fied be­ings in each of these groups.

47:0.3When a sys­tem is set­tled in light and life, and as the man­sion worlds one by one cease to serve as mor­tal-train­ing sta­tions, they are taken over by the in­creas­ing fi­nal­i­ter pop­u­la­tion which ac­cu­mu­lates in these older and more highly per­fected sys­tems.

47:0.4The seven man­sion worlds are in charge of the mor­ontia super­vi­sors and the Mel­chiz­e­deks. There is an act­ing gov­er­nor on each world who is di­rectly re­spon­si­ble to the Je­ru­sem rulers. The Uversa con­cil­ia­tors main­tain head­quar­ters on each of the man­sion worlds, while ad­join­ing is the lo­cal ren­dezvous of the Tech­ni­cal Ad­vis­ers. The re­ver­sion di­rec­tors and ce­les­tial ar­ti­sans main­tain group head­quar­ters on each of these worlds. The spironga func­tion from man­sion world num­ber two on­ward, while all seven, in com­mon with the other tran­si­tional-cul­ture plan­ets and the head­quar­ters world, are abun­dantly pro­vided with sporna­gia of stan­dard cre­ation.
