gravita

9 paragraphs · about 3 minutes

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

0:6.73. Uni­verse power in­cludes all forms of en­ergy which, while still re­spond­ing to Par­a­dise grav­ity, are di­rectly re­spon­sive to lin­ear grav­ity. This is the elec­tronic level of en­ergy-mat­ter and all sub­se­quent evo­lu­tions thereof.

11:8.73. Post­grav­ity Stages (Uni­verse Power). In this stage, en­ergy-mat­ter dis­closes re­sponse to the con­trol of lin­ear grav­ity. In the cen­tral uni­verse these phys­i­cal sys­tems are three­fold or­ga­ni­za­tions known as tri­ata. They are the super­power mother sys­tems of the cre­ations of time and space. The phys­i­cal sys­tems of the super­uni­verses are mo­bi­lized by the Uni­verse Power Di­rec­tors and their as­so­ciates. These ma­te­rial or­ga­ni­za­tions are dual in con­sti­tu­tion and are known as gravita. The dark grav­ity bod­ies en­cir­cling Ha­vona are nei­ther tri­ata nor gravita, and their draw­ing power dis­closes both forms of phys­i­cal grav­ity, lin­ear and ab­so­lute.

15:8.2Fur­ther reg­u­la­tive func­tions are per­formed by the super­uni­verse power cen­ters and phys­i­cal con­trol­lers, liv­ing and semiliv­ing in­tel­li­gent en­ti­ties con­sti­tuted for this ex­press pur­pose. These power cen­ters and con­trol­lers are dif­fi­cult of un­der­stand­ing; the lower or­ders are not vo­li­tional, they do not pos­sess will, they do not choose, their func­tions are very in­tel­li­gent but ap­par­ently au­to­matic and in­her­ent in their highly spe­cial­ized or­ga­ni­za­tion. The power cen­ters and phys­i­cal con­trol­lers of the super­uni­verses as­sume di­rec­tion and par­tial con­trol of the thirty en­ergy sys­tems which com­prise the gravita do­main. The phys­i­cal-en­ergy cir­cuits ad­min­is­tered by the power cen­ters of Uversa re­quire a lit­tle over 968 mil­lion years to com­plete the en­cir­clement of the super­uni­verse.

29:2.133. Super­uni­verse Cen­ters. Oc­cu­py­ing an enor­mous area on the cap­i­tal sphere of each of the seven super­uni­verses are one thou­sand power cen­ters of the third or­der. Three cur­rents of pri­mary en­ergy of ten seg­re­ga­tions each come in to these power cen­ters, but seven spe­cial­ized and well-di­rected, though im­per­fectly con­trolled, cir­cuits of power go forth from their seat of united ac­tion. This is the elec­tronic or­ga­ni­za­tion of uni­verse power.

29:2.14All en­ergy is cir­cuited in the Par­a­dise cy­cle, but the Uni­verse Power Di­rec­tors di­rect the force-en­er­gies of nether Par­a­dise as they find them mod­i­fied in the space func­tions of the cen­tral and super­uni­verses, con­vert­ing and di­rect­ing these en­er­gies into chan­nels of use­ful and con­struc­tive ap­pli­ca­tion. There is a dif­fer­ence be­tween Ha­vona en­ergy and the en­er­gies of the super­uni­verses. The power charge of a super­uni­verse con­sists of three phases of en­ergy of ten seg­re­ga­tions each. This three­fold en­ergy charge spreads through­out the space of the grand uni­verse; it is like a vast mov­ing ocean of en­ergy which en­gulfs and bathes the whole of each of the seven super­cre­ations.

29:2.15The elec­tronic or­ga­ni­za­tion of uni­verse power func­tions in seven phases and dis­closes vary­ing re­sponse to lo­cal or lin­ear grav­ity. This sev­en­fold cir­cuit pro­ceeds from the super­uni­verse power cen­ters and per­vades each super­cre­ation. Such spe­cial­ized cur­rents of time and space are def­i­nite and lo­cal­ized en­ergy move­ments ini­ti­ated and di­rected for spe­cific pur­poses, much as the Gulf Stream func­tions as a cir­cum­scribed phe­nom­e­non in the midst of the At­lantic Ocean.

42:2.144. Uni­verse power. Space-force has been changed into space-en­ergy and thence into the en­ergy of grav­ity con­trol. Thus has phys­i­cal en­ergy been ripened to that point where it can be di­rected into chan­nels of power and made to serve the man­i­fold pur­poses of the uni­verse Cre­ators. This work is car­ried on by the ver­sa­tile di­rec­tors, cen­ters, and con­trol­lers of phys­i­cal en­ergy in the grand uni­verse—the or­ga­nized and in­hab­ited cre­ations. These Uni­verse Power Di­rec­tors as­sume the more or less com­plete con­trol of twenty-one of the thirty phases of en­ergy con­sti­tut­ing the pres­ent en­ergy sys­tem of the seven super­uni­verses. This do­main of power-en­ergy-mat­ter is the realm of the in­tel­li­gent ac­tiv­i­ties of the Sev­en­fold, func­tion­ing un­der the time-space over­con­trol of the Su­preme.

42:2.15On Uversa we re­fer to the realm of uni­verse power as GRAVITA.

42:5.64. The elec­tronic stage. This stage of en­ergy is the ba­sis of all ma­te­ri­al­iza­tion in the seven super­uni­verses. When elec­trons pass from higher to lower en­ergy lev­els of or­bital rev­o­lu­tion, quanta are al­ways given off. Or­bital shift­ing of elec­trons re­sults in the ejec­tion or the ab­sorp­tion of very def­i­nite and uni­form mea­sur­able par­ti­cles of light-en­ergy, while the in­di­vid­ual elec­tron al­ways gives up a par­ti­cle of light-en­ergy when sub­jected to col­li­sion. Wave­like en­ergy man­i­fes­ta­tions also at­tend upon the per­for­mances of the pos­i­tive bod­ies and the other mem­bers of the elec­tronic stage.
