• high speed Paradise method

27:6.4These Par­a­dise philoso­phers teach by ev­ery pos­si­ble method of in­struc­tion, in­clud­ing the higher graph tech­nique of Ha­vona and cer­tain Par­a­dise meth­ods of com­mu­ni­cat­ing in­for­ma­tion. All of these higher tech­niques of im­part­ing knowl­edge and con­vey­ing ideas are ut­terly be­yond the com­pre­hen­sion ca­pac­ity of even the most highly de­vel­oped hu­man mind. One hour’s in­struc­tion on Par­a­dise would be the equiv­a­lent of ten thou­sand years of the word-mem­ory meth­ods of Uran­tia. You can­not grasp such com­mu­ni­ca­tion tech­niques, and there is sim­ply noth­ing in mor­tal ex­pe­ri­ence with which they may be com­pared, noth­ing to which they can be likened.

29:2.164. Lo­cal Uni­verse Cen­ters. On the head­quar­ters of each lo­cal uni­verse are sta­tioned one hun­dred power cen­ters of the fourth or­der. They func­tion to down­step and oth­er­wise to mod­ify the seven power cir­cuits em­a­nat­ing from super­uni­verse head­quar­ters, thus mak­ing them ap­pli­ca­ble to the ser­vices of the con­stel­la­tions and sys­tems. The lo­cal as­tro­nom­i­cal catas­tro­phes of space are of pass­ing con­cern to these power cen­ters; they are en­gaged in the or­derly dis­patch of ef­fec­tive en­ergy to the sub­sidiary con­stel­la­tions and sys­tems. They are of great as­sis­tance to the Cre­ator Sons dur­ing the later times of uni­verse or­ga­ni­za­tion and en­ergy mo­bi­liza­tion. These cen­ters are able to pro­vide in­ten­si­fied lanes of en­ergy use­ful for in­ter­plan­e­tary com­mu­ni­ca­tion be­tween im­por­tant in­hab­ited points. Such a lane or line of en­ergy, some­times also called an en­ergy path, is a di­rect cir­cuit of en­ergy from one power cen­ter to an­other power cen­ter or from one phys­i­cal con­trol­ler to an­other con­trol­ler. It is an in­di­vid­u­al­ized stream of power and stands in con­trast to the free space move­ments of un­dif­fer­en­ti­ated en­ergy.

29:2.175. Con­stel­la­tion Cen­ters. Ten of these liv­ing power cen­ters are sta­tioned in each con­stel­la­tion, func­tion­ing as en­ergy pro­jec­tors to the one hun­dred trib­u­tary lo­cal sys­tems. From these be­ings there go forth the power lines for com­mu­ni­ca­tion and trans­port and for the en­er­giz­ing of those liv­ing crea­tures who are de­pen­dent upon cer­tain forms of phys­i­cal en­ergy for the main­te­nance of life. But nei­ther the power cen­ters nor the sub­or­di­nate phys­i­cal con­trol­lers are oth­er­wise con­cerned with life as a func­tional or­ga­ni­za­tion.

29:4.14The phys­i­cal con­trol­lers are chiefly oc­cu­pied in the ad­just­ment of ba­sic en­er­gies undis­cov­ered on Uran­tia. These un­known en­er­gies are very es­sen­tial to the in­ter­plan­e­tary sys­tem of trans­port and to cer­tain tech­niques of com­mu­ni­ca­tion. When we lay lines of en­ergy for the pur­pose of con­vey­ing sound equiv­a­lents or of ex­tend­ing vi­sion, these undis­cov­ered forms of en­ergy are uti­lized by the liv­ing phys­i­cal con­trol­lers and their as­so­ciates. These same en­er­gies are also, on oc­ca­sion, used by the mid­way crea­tures in their rou­tine work.

35:3.20The schools of uni­verse ad­min­is­tra­tion and spir­i­tual wis­dom are lo­cated on the Mel­chiz­e­dek home world, where also are to be found those schools de­voted to a sin­gle line of re­search, such as en­ergy, mat­ter, or­ga­ni­za­tion, com­mu­ni­ca­tion, rec­ords, ethics, and com­par­a­tive crea­ture ex­is­tence.

• broadcasters of superior seraphim use ideographic technique; simultaneously transmit 144,000 messages

39:2.15Broad­cast­ers—re­ceivers and dis­patch­ers—are a spe­cial­ized sub­di­vi­sion of the se­raphic re­cord­ers, be­ing con­cerned with the dis­patch of rec­ords and with the dis­sem­i­na­tion of es­sen­tial in­for­ma­tion. Their work is of a high or­der, be­ing so mul­ti­cir­cuited that 144,000 mes­sages can si­mul­ta­ne­ously tra­verse the same lines of en­ergy. They adapt the higher ideo­graphic tech­niques of the super­aphic chief re­cord­ers and with these com­mon sym­bols main­tain re­cip­ro­cal con­tact with both the in­tel­li­gence co-or­di­na­tors of the ter­tiary super­na­phim and the glo­ri­fied in­tel­li­gence co-or­di­na­tors of the Se­raphic Corps of Com­ple­tion.

39:2.177. The Re­serves. Large re­serves of all types of the su­pe­rior ser­a­phim are held on Sal­ving­ton, in­stantly avail­able for dis­patch to the far­ther­most worlds of Neb­a­don as they are req­ui­si­tioned by the di­rec­tors of as­sign­ment or upon the re­quest of the uni­verse ad­min­is­tra­tors. The re­serves of su­pe­rior ser­a­phim also fur­nish mes­sen­ger aids upon req­ui­si­tion by the chief of the Bril­liant Evening Stars, who is in­trusted with the cus­tody and dis­patch of all per­sonal com­mu­ni­ca­tions. A lo­cal uni­verse is fully pro­vided with ad­e­quate means of in­ter­com­mu­ni­ca­tion, but there is al­ways a residue of mes­sages which re­quires dis­patch by per­sonal mes­sen­gers.

44:4.10The lo­cal uni­verse broad­casts must also be mod­i­fied for re­cep­tion by the sys­tems and the in­di­vid­ual plan­ets. The trans­mit­tal of these space re­ports is care­fully super­vised, and there is al­ways a back reg­istry to in­sure the proper re­cep­tion of ev­ery re­port on ev­ery world in a given cir­cuit. These broad­cast di­rec­tors are tech­ni­cally ex­pert in the uti­liza­tion of the cur­rents of space for all pur­poses of in­tel­li­gence com­mu­ni­ca­tion.

• mutual c. promoted by mind-energy manipulators

44:5.32. Mind-en­ergy ma­nip­u­la­tors. These are the ex­perts of in­ter­com­mu­ni­ca­tion be­tween mor­ontia and other types of in­tel­li­gent be­ings. This form of com­mu­ni­ca­tion be­tween mor­tals is prac­ti­cally nonex­is­tent on Uran­tia. These are the spe­cial­ists who pro­mote the abil­ity of the as­cend­ing mor­ontia be­ings to com­mu­ni­cate with one an­other, and their work em­braces nu­mer­ous unique ad­ven­tures in in­tel­lect li­ai­son which are far be­yond my power to por­tray to the ma­te­rial mind. These ar­ti­sans are the keen stu­dents of the mind cir­cuits of the In­fi­nite Spirit.

44:5.76. The ex­perts of com­mu­ni­ca­tion. Uran­tia, like­wise, is served by twelve tech­ni­cians of in­ter­plan­e­tary and in­teruni­verse com­mu­ni­ca­tion. These long-ex­pe­ri­enced be­ings are ex­pert in the knowl­edge of the laws of trans­mit­tal and in­ter­fer­ence as ap­plied to the com­mu­ni­ca­tions of the realms. This corps is con­cerned with all forms of space mes­sages ex­cept those of Grav­ity and Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers. On Uran­tia much of their work must be ac­com­plished over the arch­an­gels’ cir­cuit.

• harps of God allow perfected space c.

47:10.2John the Rev­e­la­tor saw a vi­sion of the ar­rival of a class of ad­vanc­ing mor­tals from the sev­enth man­sion world to their first heaven, the glo­ries of Je­ru­sem. He re­corded: “And I saw as it were a sea of glass min­gled with fire; and those who had gained the vic­tory over the beast that was orig­i­nally in them and over the im­age that per­sisted through the man­sion worlds and fi­nally over the last mark and trace, stand­ing on the sea of glass, hav­ing the harps of God, and singing the song of de­liv­er­ance from mor­tal fear and death.” (Per­fected space com­mu­ni­ca­tion is to be had on all these worlds; and your any­where re­cep­tion of such com­mu­ni­ca­tions is made pos­si­ble by car­ry­ing the “harp of God,” a mor­ontia con­trivance com­pen­sat­ing for the in­abil­ity to di­rectly ad­just the im­ma­ture mor­ontia sen­sory mech­a­nism to the re­cep­tion of space com­mu­ni­ca­tions.)

81:6.25The great­est twen­ti­eth-cen­tury in­flu­ences con­tribut­ing to the fur­ther­ance of civ­i­liza­tion and the ad­vance­ment of cul­ture are the marked in­crease in world travel and the un­par­al­leled im­prove­ments in meth­ods of com­mu­ni­ca­tion. But the im­prove­ment in ed­u­ca­tion has not kept pace with the ex­pand­ing so­cial struc­ture; nei­ther has the mod­ern ap­pre­ci­a­tion of ethics de­vel­oped in cor­re­spon­dence with growth along more purely in­tel­lec­tual and sci­en­tific lines. And mod­ern civ­i­liza­tion is at a stand­still in spir­i­tual de­vel­op­ment and the safe­guard­ing of the home in­sti­tu­tion.

• Adjusters facilitate higher forms of

109:4.1The higher forms of in­tel­li­gent in­ter­com­mu­ni­ca­tion be­tween hu­man be­ings are greatly helped by the in­dwelling Ad­justers. An­i­mals do have fel­low feel­ings, but they do not com­mu­ni­cate con­cepts to each other; they can ex­press emo­tions but not ideas and ide­als. Nei­ther do men of an­i­mal ori­gin ex­pe­ri­ence a high type of in­tel­lec­tual in­ter­course or spir­i­tual com­mu­nion with their fel­lows un­til the Thought Ad­justers have been be­stowed, al­beit, when such evo­lu­tion­ary crea­tures de­velop speech, they are on the high­road to re­ceiv­ing Ad­justers.

109:4.2An­i­mals do, in a crude way, com­mu­ni­cate with each other, but there is lit­tle or no per­son­al­ity in such prim­i­tive con­tact. Ad­justers are not per­son­al­ity; they are preper­sonal be­ings. But they do hail from the source of per­son­al­ity, and their pres­ence does aug­ment the qual­i­ta­tive man­i­fes­ta­tions of hu­man per­son­al­ity; es­pe­cially is this true if the Ad­juster has had pre­vi­ous ex­pe­ri­ence.

109:4.3The type of Ad­juster has much to do with the po­ten­tial for ex­pres­sion of the hu­man per­son­al­ity. On down through the ages, many of the great in­tel­lec­tual and spir­i­tual lead­ers of Uran­tia have ex­erted their in­flu­ence chiefly be­cause of the su­pe­ri­or­ity and pre­vi­ous ex­pe­ri­ence of their in­dwelling Ad­justers.

• basis of civilization; makes knowledge and wisdom cumulative

160:2.3It is this abil­ity to com­mu­ni­cate and share mean­ings that con­sti­tutes hu­man cul­ture and en­ables man, through so­cial as­so­ci­a­tions, to build civ­i­liza­tions. Knowl­edge and wis­dom be­come cu­mu­la­tive be­cause of man’s abil­ity to com­mu­ni­cate these pos­ses­sions to suc­ceed­ing gen­er­a­tions. And thereby arise the cul­tural ac­tiv­i­ties of the race: art, sci­ence, re­li­gion, and phi­los­o­phy.
