• only 3 System Sovereigns in Nebadon ever found in c.

53:0.2In the uni­verse of Neb­a­don, the do­main of Christ Mi­chael, there are ten thou­sand sys­tems of in­hab­ited worlds. In all the his­tory of La­non­an­dek Sons, in all their work through­out these thou­sands of sys­tems and at the uni­verse head­quar­ters, only three Sys­tem Sov­er­eigns have ever been found in con­tempt of the gov­ern­ment of the Cre­ator Son.

• Van indicted Daligastia, Caligastia, and Lucifer for c.

67:2.2The pre­sen­ta­tion of this as­tound­ing de­mand was fol­lowed by the mas­terly ap­peal of Van, chair­man of the su­preme coun­cil of co-or­di­na­tion. This dis­tin­guished ad­min­is­tra­tor and able ju­rist branded the pro­posed course of Cali­gas­tia as an act bor­der­ing on plan­e­tary re­bel­lion and ap­pealed to his con­fer­ees to ab­stain from all par­tic­i­pa­tion un­til an ap­peal could be taken to Lu­cifer, the Sys­tem Sov­er­eign of Sa­ta­nia; and he won the sup­port of the en­tire staff. Ac­cord­ingly, ap­peal was taken to Je­ru­sem, and forth­with came back the or­ders des­ig­nat­ing Cali­gas­tia as su­preme sov­er­eign on Uran­tia and com­mand­ing ab­so­lute and un­ques­tion­ing al­le­giance to his man­dates. And it was in re­ply to this amaz­ing mes­sage that the no­ble Van made his mem­o­rable ad­dress of seven hours’ length in which he for­mally drew his in­dict­ment of Dali­gas­tia, Cali­gas­tia, and Lu­cifer as stand­ing in con­tempt of the sov­er­eignty of the uni­verse of Neb­a­don; and he ap­pealed to the Most Highs of Eden­tia for sup­port and con­fir­ma­tion.

• Adam and Eve absolved from charges of standing in

75:7.2While down­cast by the sense of guilt, Adam and Eve were greatly cheered by the an­nounce­ment that their judges on Sal­ving­ton had ab­solved them from all charges of stand­ing in “con­tempt of the uni­verse gov­ern­ment.” They had not been held guilty of re­bel­lion.

• bred by familiarity

82:5.6Out­mar­riage fi­nally dom­i­nated be­cause it was fa­vored by the man; to get a wife from the out­side in­sured greater free­dom from in-laws. Fa­mil­iar­ity breeds con­tempt; so, as the el­e­ment of in­di­vid­ual choice be­gan to dom­i­nate mat­ing, it be­came the cus­tom to choose part­ners from out­side the tribe.
