direction

• absolute d. established by axis of Paradise

11:2.3These dif­fer­ences in di­men­sions, taken in con­nec­tion with its sta­tion­ary sta­tus and the greater out-pres­sure of force-en­ergy at the north end of the Isle, make it pos­si­ble to es­tab­lish ab­so­lute di­rec­tion in the mas­ter uni­verse.

• positions of superuniverses relative to Paradise

15:4.5Neb­u­lae vary greatly in size and in the re­sult­ing num­ber and ag­gre­gate mass of their stel­lar and plan­e­tary off­spring. A sun-form­ing neb­ula just north of the bor­ders of Or­von­ton, but within the super­uni­verse space level, has al­ready given ori­gin to ap­prox­i­mately forty thou­sand suns, and the mother wheel is still throw­ing off suns, the ma­jor­ity of which are many times the size of yours. Some of the larger neb­u­lae of outer space are giv­ing ori­gin to as many as one hun­dred mil­lion suns.

• 4 points of compass inherent

34:4.13The four points of the com­pass are uni­ver­sal and in­her­ent in the life of Neb­a­don. All liv­ing crea­tures pos­sess bod­ily units which are sen­si­tive and re­spon­sive to these di­rec­tional cur­rents. These crea­ture cre­ations are du­pli­cated on down through the uni­verse to the in­di­vid­ual plan­ets and, in con­junc­tion with the mag­netic forces of the worlds, so ac­ti­vate the hosts of mi­cro­scopic bod­ies in the an­i­mal or­gan­ism that these di­rec­tion cells ever point north and south. Thus is the sense of ori­en­ta­tion for­ever fixed in the liv­ing be­ings of the uni­verse. This sense is not wholly want­ing as a con­scious pos­ses­sion by man­kind. These bod­ies were first ob­served on Uran­tia about the time of this nar­ra­tion.
