Avalon

6 paragraphs · about 2 minutes

Every paragraph the index cites under Avalon, once, in the order of the book. Beside each stand the entries that cite it.

32:2.12The uni­verse of Neb­a­don now swings far to the south and east in the super­uni­verse cir­cuit of Or­von­ton. The near­est neigh­bor­ing uni­verses are: Avalon, Henselon, Sanselon, Por­talon, Wolver­ing, Fa­nov­ing, and Alvor­ing.

38:1.2These an­gelic or­ders are pro­jected at the time of plan­ning for the evo­lu­tion of mor­tal will crea­tures. The cre­ation of ser­a­phim dates from the at­tain­ment of rel­a­tive per­son­al­ity by the Uni­verse Mother Spirit, not as the later co-or­di­nate of the Mas­ter Son, but as the early cre­ative helper of the Cre­ator Son. Pre­vi­ous to this event the ser­a­phim on duty in Neb­a­don were tem­porar­ily loaned by a neigh­bor­ing uni­verse.

38:5.1Ser­a­phim spend their first mil­len­nium as non­com­mis­sioned ob­servers on Sal­ving­ton and its as­so­ci­ated world schools. The sec­ond mil­len­nium is spent on the se­raphic worlds of the Sal­ving­ton cir­cuit. Their cen­tral train­ing school is now pre­sided over by the first one hun­dred thou­sand Neb­a­don ser­a­phim, and at their head is the orig­i­nal or first-born an­gel of this lo­cal uni­verse. The first cre­ated group of Neb­a­don ser­a­phim were trained by a corps of one thou­sand ser­a­phim from Avalon; sub­se­quently our an­gels have been taught by their own se­niors. The Mel­chiz­e­deks also have a large part in the ed­u­ca­tion and train­ing of all lo­cal uni­verse an­gels—ser­a­phim, cheru­bim, and sa­no­bim.

66:2.7Ac­cord­ingly, fifty males and fifty fe­males of the An­don and Fonta pos­ter­ity, rep­re­sent­ing the sur­vival of the best strains of that unique race, were cho­sen by the Life Car­ri­ers. With one or two ex­cep­tions these An­don­ite con­trib­u­tors to the ad­vance­ment of the race were strangers to one an­other. They were as­sem­bled from widely sep­a­rated places by co-or­di­nated Thought Ad­juster di­rec­tion and se­raphic guid­ance at the thresh­old of the plan­e­tary head­quar­ters of the Prince. Here the one hun­dred hu­man sub­jects were given into the hands of the highly skilled vol­un­teer com­mis­sion from Avalon, who di­rected the ma­te­rial ex­trac­tion of a por­tion of the life plasm of these An­don de­scen­dants. This liv­ing ma­te­rial was then trans­ferred to the ma­te­rial bod­ies con­structed for the use of the one hun­dred Jerusemite mem­bers of the Prince’s staff. Mean­time, these newly ar­rived cit­i­zens of the sys­tem cap­i­tal were held in the sleep of se­raphic trans­port.

67:6.5The af­fairs of Uran­tia were for a long time ad­min­is­tered by a coun­cil of plan­e­tary re­ceivers, twelve Mel­chiz­e­deks, con­firmed by the man­date of the se­nior con­stel­la­tion ruler, the Most High Fa­ther of Nor­la­ti­adek. As­so­ci­ated with the Mel­chiz­e­dek re­ceivers was an ad­vi­sory coun­cil con­sist­ing of: one of the loyal aids of the fallen Prince, the two res­i­dent Life Car­ri­ers, a Trin­i­tized Son in ap­pren­tice­ship train­ing, a vol­un­teer Teacher Son, a Bril­liant Evening Star of Avalon (pe­ri­od­i­cally), the chiefs of ser­a­phim and cheru­bim, ad­vis­ers from two neigh­bor­ing plan­ets, the di­rec­tor gen­eral of sub­or­di­nate an­gelic life, and Van, the com­man­der in chief of the mid­way crea­tures. And thus was Uran­tia gov­erned and ad­min­is­tered un­til the ar­rival of Adam. It is not strange that the coura­geous and loyal Van was as­signed a place on the coun­cil of plan­e­tary re­ceivers which for so long ad­min­is­tered the af­fairs of Uran­tia.

77:2.6Thus did the Nod­ite peo­ples arise out of cer­tain pe­cu­liar and un­ex­pected mod­i­fi­ca­tions oc­cur­ring in the life plasm which had been trans­ferred from the bod­ies of the An­don­ite con­trib­u­tors to those of the cor­po­real staff mem­bers by the Avalon sur­geons.
