Ensa

11 paragraphs · about 2 minutes

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

15:3.5The ro­ta­tional cen­ter of your mi­nor sec­tor is sit­u­ated far away in the enor­mous and dense star cloud of Sagit­tar­ius, around which your lo­cal uni­verse and its as­so­ci­ated cre­ations all move, and from op­po­site sides of the vast Sagit­tar­ius sub­galac­tic sys­tem you may ob­serve two great streams of star clouds emerg­ing in stu­pen­dous stel­lar coils.

15:3.6The nu­cleus of the phys­i­cal sys­tem to which your sun and its as­so­ci­ated plan­ets be­long is the cen­ter of the one­time And­ro­no­ver neb­ula. This for­mer spi­ral neb­ula was slightly dis­torted by the grav­ity dis­rup­tions as­so­ci­ated with the events which were at­ten­dant upon the birth of your so­lar sys­tem, and which were oc­ca­sioned by the near ap­proach of a large neigh­bor­ing neb­ula. This near col­li­sion changed And­ro­no­ver into a some­what glob­u­lar ag­gre­ga­tion but did not wholly de­stroy the two-way pro­ces­sion of the suns and their as­so­ci­ated phys­i­cal groups. Your so­lar sys­tem now oc­cu­pies a fairly cen­tral po­si­tion in one of the arms of this dis­torted spi­ral, sit­u­ated about half­way from the cen­ter out to­wards the edge of the star stream.

15:3.7The Sagit­tar­ius sec­tor and all other sec­tors and di­vi­sions of Or­von­ton are in ro­ta­tion around Uversa, and some of the con­fu­sion of Uran­tian star ob­servers arises out of the il­lu­sions and rel­a­tive dis­tor­tions pro­duced by the fol­low­ing mul­ti­ple rev­o­lu­tion­ary move­ments:

15:3.81. The rev­o­lu­tion of Uran­tia around its sun.

15:3.92. The cir­cuit of your so­lar sys­tem about the nu­cleus of the for­mer And­ro­no­ver neb­ula.

15:3.103. The ro­ta­tion of the And­ro­no­ver stel­lar fam­ily and the as­so­ci­ated clus­ters about the com­pos­ite ro­ta­tion-grav­ity cen­ter of the star cloud of Neb­a­don.

15:3.114. The swing of the lo­cal star cloud of Neb­a­don and its as­so­ci­ated cre­ations around the Sagit­tar­ius cen­ter of their mi­nor sec­tor.

15:7.8Umi­nor the third, the head­quar­ters of your mi­nor sec­tor, Ensa, is sur­rounded by the seven spheres of the higher phys­i­cal stud­ies of the as­cen­dant life.

15:14.7The mi­nor sec­tor of Ensa con­sists of one hun­dred lo­cal uni­verses and has a cap­i­tal called Umi­nor the third. This mi­nor sec­tor is num­ber three in the ma­jor sec­tor of Splan­don. Splan­don con­sists of one hun­dred mi­nor sec­tors and has a head­quar­ters world called Uma­jor the fifth. It is the fifth ma­jor sec­tor of the super­uni­verse of Or­von­ton, the sev­enth seg­ment of the grand uni­verse. Thus you can lo­cate your planet in the scheme of the or­ga­ni­za­tion and ad­min­is­tra­tion of the uni­verse of uni­verses.

18:5.5You will all some­time know the three Re­cents of Days in charge of Ensa, your mi­nor sec­tor, since you must pass through their hands on your way in­ward to the train­ing worlds of the ma­jor sec­tors. In as­cend­ing to Uversa, you will pass through only one group of mi­nor sec­tor train­ing spheres.

29:4.182. Me­chan­i­cal Con­trol­lers. These are the ex­ceed­ingly ver­sa­tile and mo­bile as­sis­tants of the as­so­ciate power di­rec­tors. Tril­lions upon tril­lions of them are com­mis­sioned in Ensa, your mi­nor sec­tor. These be­ings are called me­chan­i­cal con­trol­lers be­cause they are so com­pletely dom­i­nated by their su­pe­ri­ors, so fully sub­servient to the will of the as­so­ciate power di­rec­tors. Nev­er­the­less they are, them­selves, very in­tel­li­gent, and their work, though me­chan­i­cal and mat­ter-of-fact in na­ture, is skill­fully per­formed.
