• nature › perfect beings; are the will of God
• strangers to saving faith

3:5.16The full ap­pre­ci­a­tion of truth, beauty, and good­ness is in­her­ent in the per­fec­tion of the di­vine uni­verse. The in­hab­i­tants of the Ha­vona worlds do not re­quire the po­ten­tial of rel­a­tive value lev­els as a choice stim­u­lus; such per­fect be­ings are able to iden­tify and choose the good in the ab­sence of all con­trastive and thought-com­pelling moral sit­u­a­tions. But all such per­fect be­ings are, in moral na­ture and spir­i­tual sta­tus, what they are by virtue of the fact of ex­is­tence. They have ex­pe­ri­en­tially earned ad­vance­ment only within their in­her­ent sta­tus. Mor­tal man earns even his sta­tus as an as­cen­sion can­di­date by his own faith and hope. Ev­ery­thing di­vine which the hu­man mind grasps and the hu­man soul ac­quires is an ex­pe­ri­en­tial at­tain­ment; it is a re­al­ity of per­sonal ex­pe­ri­ence and is there­fore a unique pos­ses­sion in con­trast to the in­her­ent good­ness and righ­teous­ness of the in­errant per­son­al­i­ties of Ha­vona.

• nature › virtues innate, not won: brave but not courageous, kind but not altruistic

3:5.17The crea­tures of Ha­vona are nat­u­rally brave, but they are not coura­geous in the hu­man sense. They are in­nately kind and con­sid­er­ate, but hardly al­tru­is­tic in the hu­man way. They are ex­pec­tant of a pleas­ant fu­ture, but not hope­ful in the ex­qui­site man­ner of the trust­ing mor­tal of the un­cer­tain evo­lu­tion­ary spheres. They have faith in the sta­bil­ity of the uni­verse, but they are ut­ter strangers to that sav­ing faith whereby mor­tal man climbs from the sta­tus of an an­i­mal up to the por­tals of Par­a­dise. They love the truth, but they know noth­ing of its soul-sav­ing qual­i­ties. They are ide­al­ists, but they were born that way; they are wholly ig­no­rant of the ec­stasy of be­com­ing such by ex­hil­a­rat­ing choice. They are loyal, but they have never ex­pe­ri­enced the thrill of whole­hearted and in­tel­li­gent de­vo­tion to duty in the face of temp­ta­tion to de­fault. They are un­selfish, but they never gained such lev­els of ex­pe­ri­ence by the mag­nif­i­cent con­quest of a bel­liger­ent self. They en­joy plea­sure, but they do not com­pre­hend the sweet­ness of the plea­sure es­cape from the pain po­ten­tial.

14:4.1There are seven ba­sic forms of liv­ing things and be­ings on the Ha­vona worlds, and each of these ba­sic forms ex­ists in three dis­tinct phases. Each of these three phases is di­vided into sev­enty ma­jor di­vi­sions, and each ma­jor di­vi­sion is com­posed of one thou­sand mi­nor di­vi­sions, with yet other sub­di­vi­sions, and so on. These ba­sic life groups might be clas­si­fied as:

14:4.21. Ma­te­rial.

14:4.32. Mor­ontial.

14:4.43. Spir­i­tual.

14:4.54. Ab­so­nite.

14:4.65. Ul­ti­mate.

14:4.76. Coab­so­lute.

14:4.87. Ab­so­lute.

14:4.9De­cay and death are not a part of the cy­cle of life on the Ha­vona worlds. In the cen­tral uni­verse the lower liv­ing things un­dergo the trans­mu­ta­tion of ma­te­ri­al­iza­tion. They do change form and man­i­fes­ta­tion, but they do not re­solve by pro­cess of de­cay and cel­lu­lar death.

• nature › eternal beings; never were created
• nature › Trinity-origin personalities projected in perfection; nonreproducing

14:4.10The Ha­vona na­tives are all the off­spring of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity. They are with­out crea­ture par­ents, and they are non­re­pro­duc­ing be­ings. We can­not por­tray the cre­ation of these cit­i­zens of the cen­tral uni­verse, be­ings who never were cre­ated. The en­tire story of the cre­ation of Ha­vona is an at­tempt to time-space an eter­nity fact which has no re­la­tion to time or space as mor­tal man com­pre­hends them. But we must con­cede hu­man phi­los­o­phy a point of ori­gin; even per­son­al­i­ties far above the hu­man level re­quire a con­cept of “be­gin­nings.” Nev­er­the­less, the Par­a­dise-Ha­vona sys­tem is eter­nal.

14:4.11The na­tives of Ha­vona live on the bil­lion spheres of the cen­tral uni­verse in the same sense that other or­ders of per­ma­nent cit­i­zen­ship dwell on their re­spec­tive spheres of na­tiv­ity. As the ma­te­rial or­der of son­ship car­ries on the ma­te­rial, in­tel­lec­tual, and spir­i­tual econ­omy of a bil­lion lo­cal sys­tems in a super­uni­verse, so, in a larger sense, do the Ha­vona na­tives live and func­tion on the bil­lion worlds of the cen­tral uni­verse. You might pos­si­bly re­gard these Havon­ers as ma­te­rial crea­tures in the sense that the word “ma­te­rial” could be ex­panded to de­scribe the phys­i­cal re­al­i­ties of the di­vine uni­verse.

• significance of lives

14:4.12There is a life that is na­tive to Ha­vona and pos­sesses sig­nif­i­cance in and of it­self. Havon­ers min­is­ter in many ways to Par­a­dise de­scen­ders and to super­uni­verse as­cend­ers, but they also live lives that are unique in the cen­tral uni­verse and have rel­a­tive mean­ing quite apart from ei­ther Par­a­dise or the super­uni­verses.

• nature › perfect beings; are the will of God

14:4.13As the wor­ship of the faith sons of the evo­lu­tion­ary worlds min­is­ters to the sat­is­fac­tion of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther’s love, so the ex­alted ado­ra­tion of the Ha­vona crea­tures sa­ti­ates the per­fect ide­als of di­vine beauty and truth. As mor­tal man strives to do the will of God, these be­ings of the cen­tral uni­verse live to grat­ify the ide­als of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity. In their very na­ture they are the will of God. Man re­joices in the good­ness of God, Havon­ers ex­ult in the di­vine beauty, while you both en­joy the min­istry of the lib­erty of liv­ing truth.

• progression to higher status

14:4.14Havon­ers have both op­tional pres­ent and fu­ture un­re­vealed des­tinies. And there is a pro­gres­sion of na­tive crea­tures that is pe­cu­liar to the cen­tral uni­verse, a pro­gres­sion that in­volves nei­ther as­cent to Par­a­dise nor pen­e­tra­tion of the super­uni­verses. This pro­gres­sion to higher Ha­vona sta­tus may be sug­gested as fol­lows:

14:4.151. Ex­pe­ri­en­tial prog­ress out­ward from the first to the sev­enth cir­cuit.

14:4.162. Prog­ress in­ward from the sev­enth to the first cir­cuit.

14:4.173. In­tracir­cuit prog­ress—pro­gres­sion within the worlds of a given cir­cuit.

• nature › pattern beings for all creation

14:4.18In ad­di­tion to the Ha­vona na­tives, the in­hab­i­tants of the cen­tral uni­verse em­brace nu­mer­ous classes of pat­tern be­ings for var­i­ous uni­verse groups—ad­vis­ers, di­rec­tors, and teach­ers of their kind and to their kind through­out cre­ation. All be­ings in all uni­verses are fash­ioned along the lines of some one or­der of pat­tern crea­ture liv­ing on some one of the bil­lion worlds of Ha­vona. Even the mor­tals of time have their goal and ide­als of crea­ture ex­is­tence on the outer cir­cuits of these pat­tern spheres on high.

14:4.19Then there are those be­ings who have at­tained the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther, and who are en­ti­tled to go and come, who are as­signed here and there in the uni­verses on mis­sions of spe­cial ser­vice. And on ev­ery Ha­vona world will be found the at­tain­ment can­di­dates, those who have phys­i­cally at­tained the cen­tral uni­verse, but who have not yet achieved that spir­i­tual de­vel­op­ment which will en­able them to claim Par­a­dise res­i­dence.

14:4.20The In­fi­nite Spirit is rep­re­sented on the Ha­vona worlds by a host of per­son­al­i­ties, be­ings of grace and glory, who ad­min­is­ter the de­tails of the in­tri­cate in­tel­lec­tual and spir­i­tual af­fairs of the cen­tral uni­verse. On these worlds of di­vine per­fec­tion they per­form the work in­dige­nous to the nor­mal con­duct of this vast cre­ation and, in ad­di­tion, carry on the man­i­fold tasks of teach­ing, train­ing, and min­is­ter­ing to the enor­mous num­bers of as­cen­dant crea­tures who have climbed to glory from the dark worlds of space.

14:4.21There are nu­mer­ous groups of be­ings na­tive to the Par­a­dise-Ha­vona sys­tem that are in no way di­rectly as­so­ci­ated with the as­cen­sion scheme of crea­ture per­fec­tion at­tain­ment; there­fore are they omit­ted from the per­son­al­ity clas­si­fi­ca­tions pre­sented to the mor­tal races. Only the ma­jor groups of super­hu­man be­ings and those or­ders di­rectly con­nected with your sur­vival ex­pe­ri­ence are herein pre­sented.

14:4.22Ha­vona teems with the life of all phases of in­tel­li­gent be­ings, who there seek to ad­vance from lower to higher cir­cuits in their ef­forts to at­tain higher lev­els of di­vin­ity re­al­iza­tion and en­larged ap­pre­ci­a­tion of su­preme mean­ings, ul­ti­mate val­ues, and ab­so­lute re­al­ity.

• nature › pattern beings for all creation

14:6.28A Cre­ator Son uses the crea­tures of Ha­vona as per­son­al­ity-pat­tern pos­si­bil­i­ties for his own mor­tal chil­dren and spirit be­ings. The Mi­chael and other Par­a­dise Sons view Par­a­dise and Ha­vona as the di­vine des­tiny of the chil­dren of time.

• Seven Spirits of Havona Circuits are as Adjusters to

17:5.5The Cir­cuit Spir­its are re­lated to the na­tive in­hab­i­tants of Ha­vona much as the Thought Ad­justers are re­lated to the mor­tal crea­tures in­hab­it­ing the worlds of the evo­lu­tion­ary uni­verses. Like the Thought Ad­justers, the Cir­cuit Spir­its are im­per­sonal, and they con­sort with the per­fect minds of Ha­vona be­ings much as the im­per­sonal spir­its of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther in­dwell the fi­nite minds of mor­tal men. But the Spir­its of the Cir­cuits never be­come a per­ma­nent part of Ha­vona per­son­al­i­ties.

• no more coming into existence

19:0.9Ex­cept­ing the Trin­ity Teacher Sons and pos­si­bly the In­spired Trin­ity Spir­its, these groups are of def­i­nite num­bers; their cre­ation is a fin­ished and past event.

19:6.1The Ha­vona na­tives are the di­rect cre­ation of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity, and their num­ber is be­yond the con­cept of your cir­cum­scribed minds. Nei­ther is it pos­si­ble for Uran­tians to con­ceive of the in­her­ent en­dow­ments of such di­vinely per­fect crea­tures as these Trin­ity-ori­gin races of the eter­nal uni­verse. You can never truly en­vis­age these glo­ri­ous crea­tures; you must await your ar­rival in Ha­vona, when you can greet them as spirit com­rades.

• gain experience through contact with ascenders
• nature › perfect beings; are the will of God
• strangers to saving faith

19:6.2Dur­ing your long so­journ on the bil­lion worlds of Ha­vona cul­ture you will de­velop an eter­nal friend­ship for these su­perb be­ings. And how deep is that friend­ship which grows up be­tween the low­est per­sonal crea­ture from the worlds of space and these high per­sonal be­ings na­tive to the per­fect spheres of the cen­tral uni­verse! As­cend­ing mor­tals, in their long and lov­ing as­so­ci­a­tion with the Ha­vona na­tives, do much to com­pen­sate for the spir­i­tual im­pov­er­ish­ment of the ear­lier stages of mor­tal pro­gres­sion. At the same time, through their con­tacts with as­cend­ing pil­grims, the Havon­ers gain an ex­pe­ri­ence which to no small ex­tent over­comes the ex­pe­ri­en­tial hand­i­cap of hav­ing al­ways lived a life of di­vine per­fec­tion. The good to both as­cend­ing mor­tal and Ha­vona na­tive is great and mu­tual.

• unrevealed future destiny

19:6.3Ha­vona na­tives, like all other Trin­ity-ori­gin per­son­al­i­ties, are pro­jected in di­vine per­fec­tion, and as with other Trin­ity-ori­gin per­son­al­i­ties, the pass­ing of time may add to their stores of ex­pe­ri­en­tial en­dow­ments. But un­like the Sta­tion­ary Sons of the Trin­ity, Havon­ers may evolve in sta­tus, may have an un­re­vealed fu­ture eter­nity-des­tiny. This is il­lus­trated by those Havon­ers who ser­vice-fac­tu­al­ize ca­pac­ity for fu­sion with a non-Ad­juster Fa­ther frag­ment and so qual­ify for mem­ber­ship in the Mor­tal Corps of the Fi­nal­ity. And there are other fi­nal­i­ter corps open to these na­tives of the cen­tral uni­verse.

• no more coming into existence

19:6.4The sta­tus evo­lu­tion of Ha­vona na­tives has oc­ca­sioned much spec­u­la­tion on Uversa. Since they are con­stantly fil­ter­ing into the sev­eral Par­a­dise Corps of the Fi­nal­ity, and since no more are be­ing cre­ated, it is ap­par­ent that the num­ber of na­tives re­main­ing in Ha­vona is con­stantly di­min­ish­ing. The ul­ti­mate con­se­quences of these trans­ac­tions have never been re­vealed to us, but we do not be­lieve that Ha­vona will ever be en­tirely de­pleted of its na­tives. We have en­ter­tained the the­ory that Havon­ers will pos­si­bly cease en­ter­ing the fi­nal­i­ter corps some­time dur­ing the ages of the suc­ces­sive cre­ations of the outer space lev­els. We have also en­ter­tained the thought that in these sub­se­quent uni­verse ages the cen­tral uni­verse may be peo­pled by a mixed group of res­i­dent be­ings, a cit­i­zen­ship con­sist­ing only in part of the orig­i­nal Ha­vona na­tives. We do not know what or­der or type of crea­ture may be thus des­tined to res­i­den­tial sta­tus in the fu­ture Ha­vona, but we have thought of:

19:6.51. The uni­v­i­ta­tia, who are at pres­ent the per­ma­nent cit­i­zens of the lo­cal uni­verse con­stel­la­tions.

19:6.62. Fu­ture types of mor­tals who may be born on the in­hab­ited spheres of the super­uni­verses in the flow­er­ing of the ages of light and life.

19:6.73. The in­com­ing spir­i­tual aris­toc­racy of the suc­ces­sive outer uni­verses.

19:6.8We know that the Ha­vona of the pre­vi­ous uni­verse age was some­what dif­fer­ent from the Ha­vona of the pres­ent age. We deem it no more than rea­son­able to as­sume that we are now wit­ness­ing those slow changes in the cen­tral uni­verse that are an­tic­i­pa­tory of the ages to come. One thing is cer­tain: The uni­verse is non­static; only God is change­less.

• trinitization by

22:7.9While these par­ents of crea­ture-trin­i­tized sons be­come as one in their uni­verse as­sign­ments, they con­tinue to be reck­oned as two per­son­al­i­ties in the make-up and roll calls of the Corps of the Fi­nal­ity and of the Ar­chi­tects of the Mas­ter Uni­verse. Dur­ing the cur­rent uni­verse age, all trin­i­ti­za­tion-united par­ents are in­sep­a­ra­ble in as­sign­ment and func­tion; where one goes the other goes, what one does the other does. If pa­ren­tal bi-uni­fi­ca­tion in­volves a mor­tal (or other) fi­nal­i­ter and a Par­a­dise-Ha­vona per­son­al­ity, the united pa­ren­tal be­ings func­tion nei­ther with the Par­adis­ers, Havon­ers, nor fi­nal­i­ters. Such mixed unions for­gather in a spe­cial corps made up of sim­i­lar be­ings. And in all trin­i­ti­za­tion unions, mixed or oth­er­wise, the pa­ren­tal be­ings are con­scious of, and can com­mu­ni­cate with, each other, and they can per­form du­ties that nei­ther could have pre­vi­ously dis­charged.

22:7.10The Seven Mas­ter Spir­its have au­thor­ity to sanc­tion the trini­tiz­ing union of fi­nal­i­ters and Par­a­dise-Ha­vona per­son­al­i­ties, and such mixed li­aisons are al­ways suc­cess­ful. The re­sul­tant mag­nif­i­cent crea­ture-trin­i­tized sons are rep­re­sen­ta­tive of con­cepts un­suited to the com­pre­hen­sion of ei­ther the eter­nal crea­tures of Par­a­dise or the time crea­tures of space; hence they be­come the wards of the Ar­chi­tects of the Mas­ter Uni­verse. These trin­i­tized sons of des­tiny em­body ideas, ide­als, and ex­pe­ri­ence which ap­par­ently per­tain to a fu­ture uni­verse age and are there­fore of no im­me­di­ate prac­ti­cal value to ei­ther the su­per- or cen­tral uni­verse ad­min­is­tra­tions. These unique sons of the chil­dren of time and the cit­i­zens of eter­nity are all held in re­serve on Vicegering­ton, where they are en­gaged in the study of the con­cepts of time and the re­al­i­ties of eter­nity in a spe­cial sec­tor of the sphere oc­cu­pied by the se­cret col­leges of the corps of the Cre­ator Sons.

22:7.11The Su­preme Be­ing is the uni­fi­ca­tion of three phases of De­ity re­al­ity: God the Su­preme, the spir­i­tual uni­fi­ca­tion of cer­tain fi­nite as­pects of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity; the Al­mighty Su­preme, the power uni­fi­ca­tion of the grand uni­verse Cre­ators; and the Su­preme Mind, the in­di­vid­ual con­tri­bu­tion of the Third Source and Cen­ter and his co-or­di­nates to the re­al­ity of the Su­preme Be­ing. In their trin­i­ti­za­tion ad­ven­tures the su­perb crea­tures of the cen­tral uni­verse and Par­a­dise are en­gaged in a three­fold ex­plo­ration of the De­ity of the Su­preme which re­sults in the pro­duc­tion of three or­ders of crea­ture-trin­i­tized sons:

22:7.121. As­cender-trin­i­tized Sons. In their cre­ative ef­forts the fi­nal­i­ters are at­tempt­ing to trini­tize cer­tain con­cep­tual re­al­i­ties of the Al­mighty Su­preme which they have ex­pe­ri­en­tially ac­quired in their as­cen­sion through time and space to Par­a­dise.

22:7.132. Par­a­dise-Ha­vona-trin­i­tized Sons. The cre­ative ef­forts of the Par­a­dise Cit­i­zens and the Havon­ers re­sult in the trin­i­ti­za­tion of cer­tain high spir­i­tual as­pects of the Su­preme Be­ing which they have ex­pe­ri­en­tially ac­quired on a super­su­preme back­ground bor­der­ing on the Ul­ti­mate and the Eter­nal.

30:2.1248. The Ha­vona Na­tives.

31:1.1Many of the Ha­vona na­tives who serve as teach­ers in the pil­grim-train­ing schools of the cen­tral uni­verse be­come greatly at­tached to the as­cend­ing mor­tals and still more in­trigued with the fu­ture work and des­tiny of the Corps of Mor­tal Fi­nal­i­ters. On Par­a­dise there is main­tained, at the ad­min­is­tra­tive head­quar­ters of the corps, a reg­istry for Ha­vona vol­un­teers pre­sided over by the as­so­ciate of Grand­fanda. To­day, you will find mil­lions upon mil­lions of Ha­vona na­tives upon this wait­ing list. These per­fect be­ings of di­rect and di­vine cre­ation are of great as­sis­tance to the Mor­tal Corps of Fi­nal­ity, and they will un­doubt­edly be of even greater ser­vice in the far-dis­tant fu­ture. They pro­vide the view­point of one born in per­fec­tion and di­vine re­plete­ness. The fi­nal­i­ters thus em­brace both phases of ex­pe­ri­en­tial ex­is­tence—per­fect and per­fected.

31:1.2Ha­vona na­tives must achieve cer­tain ex­pe­ri­en­tial de­vel­op­ments in li­ai­son with evo­lu­tion­ary be­ings which will cre­ate re­cep­tion ca­pac­ity for the be­stowal of a frag­ment of the spirit of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther. The Mor­tal Fi­nal­i­ter Corps has as per­ma­nent mem­bers only such be­ings as have been fused with the spirit of the First Source and Cen­ter, or who, like the Grav­ity Mes­sen­gers, in­nately em­body this spirit of God the Fa­ther.

31:1.3The in­hab­i­tants of the cen­tral uni­verse are re­ceived into the corps in the ra­tio of one in a thou­sand—a fi­nal­i­ter com­pany. The corps is or­ga­nized for tem­po­rary ser­vice in com­pa­nies of one thou­sand, the as­cen­dant crea­tures num­ber­ing 997 to one Ha­vona na­tive and one Grav­ity Mes­sen­ger. Fi­nal­i­ters are thus mo­bi­lized in com­pa­nies, but the fi­nal­ity oath is ad­min­is­tered in­di­vid­u­ally. It is an oath of sweep­ing im­pli­ca­tions and eter­nal im­port. The Ha­vona na­tive takes the same oath and be­comes for­ever at­tached to the corps.

31:1.4The Ha­vona re­cruits fol­low the com­pany of their as­sign­ment; wher­ever the group goes, they go. And you should see their en­thu­si­asm in the new work of the fi­nal­i­ters. The pos­si­bil­ity of at­tain­ing the Corps of the Fi­nal­ity is one of the su­perb thrills of Ha­vona; the pos­si­bil­ity of be­com­ing a fi­nal­i­ter is one of the su­preme ad­ven­tures of these per­fect races.

31:1.5The Ha­vona na­tives are also re­ceived, in the same ra­tio, into the Corps of Con­joint Trin­i­tized Fi­nal­i­ters on Vicegering­ton and into the Corps of Tran­scen­den­tal Fi­nal­i­ters on Par­a­dise. The Ha­vona cit­i­zens re­gard these three des­tinies as con­sti­tut­ing the su­preme goals of their su­per­nal ca­reers, to­gether with their pos­si­ble ad­mis­sion to the Corps of Ha­vona Fi­nal­i­ters.

• nature › eternal beings; never were created

105:7.2That which is tran­scen­den­tal is not nec­es­sar­ily non­de­vel­op­men­tal, but it is super­evo­lu­tional in the fi­nite sense; nei­ther is it non­ex­pe­ri­en­tial, but it is super­ex­pe­ri­ence as such is mean­ing­ful to crea­tures. Per­haps the best il­lus­tra­tion of such a para­dox is the cen­tral uni­verse of per­fec­tion: It is hardly ab­so­lute—only the Par­a­dise Isle is truly ab­so­lute in the “ma­te­ri­al­ized” sense. Nei­ther is it a fi­nite evo­lu­tion­ary cre­ation as are the seven super­uni­verses. Ha­vona is eter­nal but not change­less in the sense of be­ing a uni­verse of non­growth. It is in­hab­ited by crea­tures (Ha­vona na­tives) who never were ac­tu­ally cre­ated, for they are eter­nally ex­is­tent. Ha­vona thus il­lus­trates some­thing which is not ex­actly fi­nite nor yet ab­so­lute. Ha­vona fur­ther acts as a buffer be­tween ab­so­lute Par­a­dise and fi­nite cre­ations, still fur­ther il­lus­trat­ing the func­tion of tran­scen­den­tals. But Ha­vona it­self is not a tran­scen­den­tal—it is Ha­vona.

117:6.143. The Ha­vona na­tives ac­quire a com­pre­hen­sion of the Su­preme through con­tacts with de­scend­ing pil­grims from Par­a­dise and as­cend­ing pil­grims from the seven super­uni­verses. Ha­vona na­tives are in­her­ently in po­si­tion to har­mo­nize the es­sen­tially dif­fer­ent view­points of the cit­i­zens of the eter­nal Isle and the cit­i­zens of the evo­lu­tion­ary uni­verses.
