Havona

• nature and constitution › central perfect eternal universe

0:0.5Your world, Uran­tia, is one of many sim­i­lar in­hab­ited plan­ets which com­prise the lo­cal uni­verse of Neb­a­don. This uni­verse, to­gether with sim­i­lar cre­ations, makes up the super­uni­verse of Or­von­ton, from whose cap­i­tal, Uversa, our com­mis­sion hails. Or­von­ton is one of the seven evo­lu­tion­ary super­uni­verses of time and space which cir­cle the never-be­gin­ning, never-end­ing cre­ation of di­vine per­fec­tion—the cen­tral uni­verse of Ha­vona. At the heart of this eter­nal and cen­tral uni­verse is the sta­tion­ary Isle of Par­a­dise, the ge­o­graphic cen­ter of in­fin­ity and the dwell­ing place of the eter­nal God.

0:3.22In this orig­i­nal trans­ac­tion the the­o­ret­i­cal I AM achieved the re­al­iza­tion of per­son­al­ity by be­com­ing the Eter­nal Fa­ther of the Orig­i­nal Son si­mul­ta­ne­ously with be­com­ing the Eter­nal Source of the Isle of Par­a­dise. Co­ex­is­tent with the dif­fer­en­ti­a­tion of the Son from the Fa­ther, and in the pres­ence of Par­a­dise, there ap­peared the per­son of the In­fi­nite Spirit and the cen­tral uni­verse of Ha­vona. With the ap­pear­ance of co­ex­is­tent per­sonal De­ity, the Eter­nal Son and the In­fi­nite Spirit, the Fa­ther es­caped, as a per­son­al­ity, from oth­er­wise in­ev­i­ta­ble dif­fu­sion through­out the po­ten­tial of To­tal De­ity. Thence­forth it is only in Trin­ity as­so­ci­a­tion with his two De­ity equals that the Fa­ther fills all De­ity po­ten­tial, while in­creas­ingly ex­pe­ri­en­tial De­ity is be­ing ac­tu­al­ized on the di­vin­ity lev­els of Su­prem­acy, Ul­ti­macy, and Ab­so­lute­ness.

• creation of Havona › by Infinite Spirit

0:11.1When the com­bined thought of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther and the Eter­nal Son, func­tion­ing in the God of Ac­tion, con­sti­tuted the cre­ation of the di­vine and cen­tral uni­verse, the Fa­ther fol­lowed the ex­pres­sion of his thought into the word of his Son and the act of their Con­joint Ex­ec­u­tive by dif­fer­en­ti­at­ing his Ha­vona pres­ence from the po­ten­tials of in­fin­ity. And these undis­closed in­fin­ity po­ten­tials re­main space con­cealed in the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute and di­vinely en­shrouded in the De­ity Ab­so­lute, while these two be­come one in the func­tion­ing of the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute, the un­re­vealed in­fin­ity-unity of the Par­a­dise Fa­ther.

• God discernibly present in

3:1.6The om­nipres­ence of God is in re­al­ity a part of his in­fi­nite na­ture; space con­sti­tutes no bar­rier to De­ity. God is, in per­fec­tion and with­out lim­i­ta­tion, dis­cernibly pres­ent only on Par­a­dise and in the cen­tral uni­verse. He is not thus ob­serv­ably pres­ent in the cre­ations en­cir­cling Ha­vona, for God has lim­ited his di­rect and ac­tual pres­ence in rec­og­ni­tion of the sov­er­eignty and the di­vine pre­rog­a­tives of the co-or­di­nate cre­ators and rulers of the uni­verses of time and space. Hence must the con­cept of the di­vine pres­ence al­low for a wide range of both mode and chan­nel of man­i­fes­ta­tion em­brac­ing the pres­ence cir­cuits of the Eter­nal Son, the In­fi­nite Spirit, and the Isle of Par­a­dise. Nor is it al­ways pos­si­ble to dis­tin­guish be­tween the pres­ence of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther and the ac­tions of his eter­nal co-or­di­nates and agen­cies, so per­fectly do they ful­fill all the in­fi­nite re­quire­ments of his un­chang­ing pur­pose. But not so with the per­son­al­ity cir­cuit and the Ad­justers; here God acts uniquely, di­rectly, and ex­clu­sively.

4:0.2It is easy to de­duce that the pur­pose in cre­at­ing the per­fect cen­tral uni­verse of Ha­vona was purely the sat­is­fac­tion of the di­vine na­ture. Ha­vona may serve as the pat­tern cre­ation for all other uni­verses and as the fin­ish­ing school for the pil­grims of time on their way to Par­a­dise; how­ever, such a su­per­nal cre­ation must ex­ist pri­mar­ily for the plea­sure and sat­is­fac­tion of the per­fect and in­fi­nite Cre­ators.

• creation of Havona › by Father and Eternal Son

6:1.6Al­though any of the Par­a­dise Sons may fit­tingly be called Sons of God, we are in the habit of re­serv­ing the des­ig­na­tion “the Eter­nal Son” for this Orig­i­nal Son, the Sec­ond Source and Cen­ter, cocre­ator with the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther of the cen­tral uni­verse of power and per­fec­tion and cocre­ator of all other di­vine Sons who spring from the in­fi­nite De­i­ties.

• perfection of Havona › energy and spirit states in perfect balance

7:2.2In the cen­tral uni­verse the per­sonal ac­tiv­ity of the Orig­i­nal Son is dis­cern­i­ble in the ex­qui­site spir­i­tual har­mony of the eter­nal cre­ation. Ha­vona is so mar­velously per­fect that the spir­i­tual sta­tus and the en­ergy states of this pat­tern uni­verse are in per­fect and per­pet­ual bal­ance.

• Eternal Son’s bestowal in

7:5.5Long, long ago the Eter­nal Son be­stowed him­self upon each of the cir­cuits of the cen­tral cre­ation for the en­light­en­ment and ad­vance­ment of all the in­hab­i­tants and pil­grims of Ha­vona, in­clud­ing the as­cend­ing pil­grims of time. On none of these seven be­stowals did he func­tion as ei­ther an as­cender or a Havoner. He ex­isted as him­self. His ex­pe­ri­ence was unique; it was not with or as a hu­man or other pil­grim but in some way as­so­cia­tive in the super­per­sonal sense.

7:5.6Nei­ther did he pass through the rest that in­ter­venes be­tween the in­ner Ha­vona cir­cuit and the shores of Par­a­dise. It is not pos­si­ble for him, an ab­so­lute be­ing, to sus­pend con­scious­ness of per­son­al­ity, for in him cen­ter all lines of spir­i­tual grav­ity. And dur­ing the times of these be­stowals the cen­tral Par­a­dise lodg­ment of spir­i­tual lu­mi­nos­ity was undimmed, and the Son’s grasp of uni­ver­sal spirit grav­ity was undi­min­ished.

7:5.7The be­stowals of the Eter­nal Son in Ha­vona are not within the scope of hu­man imag­i­na­tion; they were tran­scen­den­tal. He added to the ex­pe­ri­ence of all Ha­vona then and sub­se­quently, but we do not know whether he added to the sup­posed ex­pe­ri­en­tial ca­pac­ity of his ex­is­ten­tial na­ture. That would fall within the be­stowal mys­tery of the Par­a­dise Sons. We do, how­ever, be­lieve that what­ever the Eter­nal Son ac­quired on these be­stowal mis­sions, he has ever since re­tained; but we do not know what it is.

• bestowal of the original Michael in H.

7:5.8What­ever our dif­fi­culty in com­pre­hend­ing the be­stowals of the Sec­ond Per­son of De­ity, we do com­pre­hend the Ha­vona be­stowal of a Son of the Eter­nal Son, who lit­er­ally passed through the cir­cuits of the cen­tral uni­verse and ac­tu­ally shared those ex­pe­ri­ences which con­sti­tute an as­cender’s prepa­ra­tion for De­ity at­tain­ment. This was the orig­i­nal Mi­chael, the first-born Cre­ator Son, and he passed through the life ex­pe­ri­ences of the as­cend­ing pil­grims from cir­cuit to cir­cuit, per­son­ally jour­ney­ing a stage of each cir­cle with them in the days of Grand­fanda, the first of all mor­tals to at­tain Ha­vona.

7:5.9What­ever else this orig­i­nal Mi­chael re­vealed, he made the tran­scen­dent be­stowal of the Orig­i­nal Mother Son real to the crea­tures of Ha­vona. So real, that forever­more each pil­grim of time who labors in the ad­ven­ture of mak­ing the Ha­vona cir­cuits is cheered and strength­ened by the cer­tain knowl­edge that the Eter­nal Son of God seven times ab­di­cated the power and glory of Par­a­dise to par­tic­i­pate in the ex­pe­ri­ences of the time-space pil­grims on the seven cir­cuits of pro­gres­sive Ha­vona at­tain­ment.

8:1.4The God of Ac­tion func­tions and the dead vaults of space are astir. One bil­lion per­fect spheres flash into ex­is­tence. Prior to this hy­po­thet­i­cal eter­nity mo­ment the space-en­er­gies in­her­ent in Par­a­dise are ex­is­tent and po­ten­tially op­er­a­tive, but they have no ac­tu­al­ity of be­ing; nei­ther can phys­i­cal grav­ity be mea­sured ex­cept by the re­ac­tion of ma­te­rial re­al­i­ties to its in­ces­sant pull. There is no ma­te­rial uni­verse at this (as­sumed) eter­nally dis­tant mo­ment, but the very in­stant that one bil­lion worlds ma­te­ri­al­ize, there is in ev­i­dence grav­ity suf­fi­cient and ad­e­quate to hold them in the ev­er­last­ing grasp of Par­a­dise.

8:1.7The In­fi­nite Spirit eter­nal­izes con­cur­rently with the birth of the Ha­vona worlds, this cen­tral uni­verse be­ing cre­ated by him and with him and in him in obe­di­ence to the com­bined con­cepts and united wills of the Fa­ther and the Son. The Third Per­son deitizes by this very act of con­joint cre­ation, and he thus for­ever be­comes the Con­joint Cre­ator.

• nature and constitution › from finite viewpoint, reality begins with appearance of H.

8:1.9In brief, the In­fi­nite Spirit tes­ti­fies that, since he is eter­nal, so also is the cen­tral uni­verse eter­nal. And this is the tra­di­tional start­ing point of the his­tory of the uni­verse of uni­verses. Ab­so­lutely noth­ing is known, and no rec­ords are in ex­is­tence, re­gard­ing any event or trans­ac­tion prior to this stu­pen­dous erup­tion of cre­ative en­ergy and ad­min­is­tra­tive wis­dom that crys­tal­lized the vast uni­verse which ex­ists, and so ex­qui­sitely func­tions, at the cen­ter of all things. Be­yond this event lie the un­search­able trans­ac­tions of eter­nity and the depths of in­fin­ity—ab­so­lute mys­tery.

8:3.1As the Eter­nal Son is the word ex­pres­sion of the “first” ab­so­lute and in­fi­nite thought of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther, so the Con­joint Ac­tor is the per­fect ex­e­cu­tion of the “first” com­pleted cre­ative con­cept or plan for com­bined ac­tion by the Fa­ther-Son per­son­al­ity part­ner­ship of ab­so­lute thought-word union. The Third Source and Cen­ter eter­nal­izes con­cur­rently with the cen­tral or fiat cre­ation, and only this cen­tral cre­ation is eter­nal in ex­is­tence among uni­verses.

• Infinite Spirit is personal presence of ministry

8:4.3On Uran­tia the In­fi­nite Spirit is known as an om­ni­pres­ent in­flu­ence, a uni­ver­sal pres­ence, but in Ha­vona you shall know him as a per­sonal pres­ence of ac­tual min­istry. Here the min­istry of the Par­a­dise Spirit is the ex­em­plary and in­spir­ing pat­tern for each of his co-or­di­nate Spir­its and sub­or­di­nate per­son­al­i­ties min­is­ter­ing to the cre­ated be­ings on the worlds of time and space. In this di­vine uni­verse the In­fi­nite Spirit fully par­tic­i­pated in the seven tran­scen­den­tal ap­pear­ances of the Eter­nal Son; like­wise did he par­tic­i­pate with the orig­i­nal Mi­chael Son in the seven be­stowals upon the cir­cuits of Ha­vona, thereby be­com­ing the sym­pa­thetic and un­der­stand­ing spirit min­is­ter to ev­ery pil­grim of time travers­ing these per­fect cir­cles on high.

• perfection of Havona › perfection precludes possibility of disharmony

10:6.17The An­cients of Days and their Trin­ity-ori­gin as­so­ciates mete out the just judg­ment of su­preme fair­ness to the seven super­uni­verses. In the cen­tral uni­verse such func­tions ex­ist in the­ory only; there fair­ness is self-ev­i­dent in per­fec­tion, and Ha­vona per­fec­tion pre­cludes all pos­si­bil­ity of dishar­mony.

• nature and constitution › energy systems are triune

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.

• perfection of Havona › perfect revelation of Paradise

11:9.5Par­a­dise is not an­ces­tral to any be­ing or liv­ing en­tity; it is not a cre­ator. Per­son­al­ity and mind-spirit re­la­tion­ships are trans­mis­si­ble, but pat­tern is not. Pat­terns are never re­flec­tions; they are du­pli­ca­tions—re­pro­duc­tions. Par­a­dise is the ab­so­lute of pat­terns; Ha­vona is an ex­hibit of these po­ten­tials in ac­tu­al­ity.

12:1.10Ha­vona, the cen­tral uni­verse, is not a time cre­ation; it is an eter­nal ex­is­tence. This never-be­gin­ning, never-end­ing uni­verse con­sists of one bil­lion spheres of sub­lime per­fec­tion and is sur­rounded by the enor­mous dark grav­ity bod­ies. At the cen­ter of Ha­vona is the sta­tion­ary and ab­so­lutely sta­bi­lized Isle of Par­a­dise, sur­rounded by its twenty-one satel­lites. Ow­ing to the enor­mous en­cir­cling masses of the dark grav­ity bod­ies about the fringe of the cen­tral uni­verse, the mass con­tent of this cen­tral cre­ation is far in ex­cess of the to­tal known mass of all seven sec­tors of the grand uni­verse.

12:1.11The Par­a­dise-Ha­vona Sys­tem, the eter­nal uni­verse en­cir­cling the eter­nal Isle, con­sti­tutes the per­fect and eter­nal nu­cleus of the mas­ter uni­verse; all seven of the super­uni­verses and all re­gions of outer space re­volve in es­tab­lished or­bits around the gi­gan­tic cen­tral ag­gre­ga­tion of the Par­a­dise satel­lites and the Ha­vona spheres.

• sacred spheres of Paradise emit spiritual light to

13:0.3The seven se­cret spheres of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther, cir­cu­lat­ing about Par­a­dise in close prox­im­ity to the eter­nal Isle, are highly re­flec­tive of the spir­i­tual lu­mi­nos­ity of the cen­tral shin­ing of the eter­nal De­i­ties, shed­ding this light of di­vine glory through­out Par­a­dise and even upon the seven cir­cuits of Ha­vona.

13:0.4On the seven sa­cred worlds of the Eter­nal Son there ap­pear to take ori­gin the im­per­sonal en­er­gies of spirit lu­mi­nos­ity. No per­sonal be­ing may so­journ on any of these seven shin­ing realms. With spir­i­tual glory they il­lu­mi­nate all Par­a­dise and Ha­vona, and they di­rec­tion­ize pure spirit lu­mi­nos­ity to the seven super­uni­verses. These bril­liant spheres of the sec­ond cir­cuit like­wise emit their light (light with­out heat) to Par­a­dise and to the bil­lion worlds of the seven-cir­cuited cen­tral uni­verse.

• ascenders gain clearance for Ascendington upon attaining

13:2.6The worlds of the in­ner cir­cuit are re­ally fra­ter­nal or sta­tus worlds more than ac­tual res­i­den­tial spheres. Mor­tals will at­tain some sta­tus on each of the Fa­ther’s worlds save one. For ex­am­ple: When you mor­tals at­tain Ha­vona, you are granted clear­ance for As­cend­ing­ton, where you are most wel­come, but you are not per­mit­ted to visit the other six sa­cred worlds. Sub­se­quent to your pas­sage through the Par­a­dise regime and af­ter your ad­mis­sion to the Corps of the Fi­nal­ity, you are granted clear­ance for Sonar­ing­ton since you are sons of God as well as as­cend­ers—and you are even more. But there will al­ways re­main one sev­enth of Sonar­ing­ton, the sec­tor of the in­car­na­tion se­crets of the di­vine Sons, which will not be open to your scrutiny. Never will those se­crets be re­vealed to the as­cen­dant sons of God.

14:0.1The per­fect and di­vine uni­verse oc­cu­pies the cen­ter of all cre­ation; it is the eter­nal core around which the vast cre­ations of time and space re­volve. Par­a­dise is the gi­gan­tic nu­clear Isle of ab­so­lute sta­bil­ity which rests mo­tion­less at the very heart of the mag­nif­i­cent eter­nal uni­verse. This cen­tral plan­e­tary fam­ily is called Ha­vona and is far-dis­tant from the lo­cal uni­verse of Neb­a­don. It is of enor­mous di­men­sions and al­most un­be­liev­able mass and con­sists of one bil­lion spheres of unimag­ined beauty and su­perb grandeur, but the true mag­ni­tude of this vast cre­ation is re­ally be­yond the un­der­stand­ing grasp of the hu­man mind.

This is the eter­nal core of per­fec­tion, about which swirls that end­less pro­ces­sion of uni­verses which con­sti­tute the tremen­dous evo­lu­tion­ary ex­per­i­ment, the au­da­cious ad­ven­ture of the Cre­ator Sons of God, who as­pire to du­pli­cate in time and to re­pro­duce in space the pat­tern uni­verse, the ideal of di­vine com­plete­ness, su­preme fi­nal­ity, ul­ti­mate re­al­ity, and eter­nal per­fec­tion.

• circuits of Havona, generally › circuits rotate clockwise around Paradise

14:1.32. The clock­wise pro­ces­sional of the three Par­a­dise and the seven Ha­vona cir­cuits.

• 1st Havona circuit › comprised of 35 million worlds
• 7th Havona circuit › comprised of 245 million worlds
• 7th Havona circuit › outermost circuit
• circuits of Havona, generally › each circuit pervaded by one Spirit of Havona Circuits
• individual worlds of Havona › arranged in one plane of 7 concentric circuits

14:1.9The bil­lion worlds of Ha­vona are ar­ranged in seven con­cen­tric cir­cuits im­me­di­ately sur­round­ing the three cir­cuits of Par­a­dise satel­lites. There are up­wards of thirty-five mil­lion worlds in the in­ner­most Ha­vona cir­cuit and over two hun­dred and forty-five mil­lion in the out­er­most, with pro­por­tion­ate num­bers in­ter­ven­ing. Each cir­cuit dif­fers, but all are per­fectly bal­anced and ex­qui­sitely or­ga­nized, and each is per­vaded by a spe­cial­ized rep­re­sen­ta­tion of the In­fi­nite Spirit, one of the Seven Spir­its of the Cir­cuits. In ad­di­tion to other func­tions this im­per­sonal Spirit co-or­di­nates the con­duct of ce­les­tial af­fairs through­out each cir­cuit.

• individual worlds of Havona › follow each other in orderly linear procession

14:1.10The Ha­vona plan­e­tary cir­cuits are not super­im­posed; their worlds fol­low each other in an or­derly lin­ear pro­ces­sion. The cen­tral uni­verse whirls around the sta­tion­ary Isle of Par­a­dise in one vast plane, con­sist­ing of ten con­cen­tric sta­bi­lized units—the three cir­cuits of Par­a­dise spheres and the seven cir­cuits of Ha­vona worlds. Phys­i­cally re­garded, the Ha­vona and the Par­a­dise cir­cuits are all one and the same sys­tem; their sep­a­ra­tion is in rec­og­ni­tion of func­tional and ad­min­is­tra­tive seg­re­ga­tion.

• circuits of Havona, generally › each circuit has different length of year

14:1.11Time is not reck­oned on Par­a­dise; the se­quence of suc­ces­sive events is in­her­ent in the con­cept of those who are in­dige­nous to the cen­tral Isle. But time is ger­mane to the Ha­vona cir­cuits and to nu­mer­ous be­ings of both ce­les­tial and ter­res­trial ori­gin so­journ­ing thereon. Each Ha­vona world has its own lo­cal time, de­ter­mined by its cir­cuit. All worlds in a given cir­cuit have the same length of year since they uni­formly swing around Par­a­dise, and the length of these plan­e­tary years de­creases from the out­er­most to the in­ner­most cir­cuit.

• nature and constitution › standard day is 1000 Urantia years; length of time for inner circuit to circumtransit Paradise

14:1.12Be­sides Ha­vona-cir­cuit time, there is the Par­a­dise-Ha­vona stan­dard day and other time des­ig­na­tions which are de­ter­mined on, and are sent out from, the seven Par­a­dise satel­lites of the In­fi­nite Spirit. The Par­a­dise-Ha­vona stan­dard day is based on the length of time re­quired for the plan­e­tary abodes of the first or in­ner Ha­vona cir­cuit to com­plete one rev­o­lu­tion around the Isle of Par­a­dise; and though their ve­loc­ity is enor­mous, ow­ing to their sit­u­a­tion be­tween the dark grav­ity bod­ies and gi­gan­tic Par­a­dise, it re­quires al­most one thou­sand years for these spheres to com­plete their cir­cuit. You have un­wit­tingly read the truth when your eyes rested on the state­ment “A day is as a thou­sand years with God, as but a watch in the night.” One Par­a­dise-Ha­vona day is just seven min­utes, three and one-eighth sec­onds less than one thou­sand years of the pres­ent Uran­tia leap-year cal­en­dar.

14:1.13This Par­a­dise-Ha­vona day is the stan­dard time mea­sure­ment for the seven super­uni­verses, al­though each main­tains its own in­ter­nal time stan­dards.

14:2.1Spirit be­ings do not dwell in neb­u­lous space; they do not in­habit ethe­real worlds; they are domi­ciled on ac­tual spheres of a ma­te­rial na­ture, worlds just as real as those on which mor­tals live. The Ha­vona worlds are ac­tual and lit­eral, al­beit their lit­eral sub­stance dif­fers from the ma­te­rial or­ga­ni­za­tion of the plan­ets of the seven super­uni­verses.

14:2.2The phys­i­cal re­al­i­ties of Ha­vona rep­re­sent an or­der of en­ergy or­ga­ni­za­tion rad­i­cally dif­fer­ent from any pre­vail­ing in the evo­lu­tion­ary uni­verses of space. Ha­vona en­er­gies are three­fold; super­uni­verse units of en­ergy-mat­ter con­tain a two­fold en­ergy charge, al­though one form of en­ergy ex­ists in neg­a­tive and pos­i­tive phases. The cre­ation of the cen­tral uni­verse is three­fold (Trin­ity); the cre­ation of a lo­cal uni­verse (di­rectly) is two­fold, by a Cre­ator Son and a Cre­ative Spirit.

14:2.3The ma­te­rial of Ha­vona con­sists of the or­ga­ni­za­tion of ex­actly one thou­sand ba­sic chem­i­cal el­e­ments and the bal­anced func­tion of the seven forms of Ha­vona en­ergy. Each of these ba­sic en­er­gies man­i­fests seven phases of ex­ci­ta­tion, so that the Ha­vona na­tives re­spond to forty-nine dif­fer­ing sen­sa­tion stim­uli. In other words, viewed from a purely phys­i­cal stand­point, the na­tives of the cen­tral uni­verse pos­sess forty-nine spe­cial­ized forms of sen­sa­tion. The mor­ontia senses are sev­enty, and the higher spir­i­tual or­ders of re­ac­tion re­sponse vary in dif­fer­ent types of be­ings from sev­enty to two hun­dred and ten.

14:2.4None of the phys­i­cal be­ings of the cen­tral uni­verse would be vis­i­ble to Uran­tians. Nei­ther would any of the phys­i­cal stim­uli of those far­away worlds ex­cite a re­ac­tion in your gross sense or­gans. If a Uran­tia mor­tal could be trans­ported to Ha­vona, he would there be deaf, blind, and ut­terly lack­ing in all other sense re­ac­tions; he could only func­tion as a lim­ited self-con­scious be­ing de­prived of all en­vi­ron­men­tal stim­uli and all re­ac­tions thereto.

14:2.5There are nu­mer­ous phys­i­cal phe­nom­ena and spir­i­tual re­ac­tions tran­spir­ing in the cen­tral cre­ation which are un­known on worlds such as Uran­tia. The ba­sic or­ga­ni­za­tion of a three­fold cre­ation is wholly un­like that of the two­fold con­sti­tu­tion of the cre­ated uni­verses of time and space.

14:2.6All nat­u­ral law is co-or­di­nated on a ba­sis en­tirely dif­fer­ent than in the dual-en­ergy sys­tems of the evolv­ing cre­ations. The en­tire cen­tral uni­verse is or­ga­nized in ac­cor­dance with the three­fold sys­tem of per­fect and sym­met­ri­cal con­trol. Through­out the whole Par­a­dise-Ha­vona sys­tem there is main­tained a per­fect bal­ance be­tween all cos­mic re­al­i­ties and all spir­i­tual forces. Par­a­dise, with an ab­so­lute grasp of ma­te­rial cre­ation, per­fectly reg­u­lates and main­tains the phys­i­cal en­er­gies of this cen­tral uni­verse; the Eter­nal Son, as a part of his all-em­brac­ing spirit grasp, most per­fectly sus­tains the spir­i­tual sta­tus of all who in­dwell Ha­vona. On Par­a­dise noth­ing is ex­per­i­men­tal, and the Par­a­dise-Ha­vona sys­tem is a unit of cre­ative per­fec­tion.

14:2.7The uni­ver­sal spir­i­tual grav­ity of the Eter­nal Son is amaz­ingly ac­tive through­out the cen­tral uni­verse. All spirit val­ues and spir­i­tual per­son­al­i­ties are un­ceas­ingly drawn in­ward to­wards the abode of the Gods. This God­ward urge is in­tense and in­es­cap­able. The am­bi­tion to at­tain God is stronger in the cen­tral uni­verse, not be­cause spirit grav­ity is stronger than in the out­ly­ing uni­verses, but be­cause those be­ings who have at­tained Ha­vona are more fully spir­i­tu­al­ized and hence more re­spon­sive to the ever-pres­ent ac­tion of the uni­ver­sal spirit-grav­ity pull of the Eter­nal Son.

14:2.8Like­wise does the In­fi­nite Spirit draw all in­tel­lec­tual val­ues Par­adis­e­ward. Through­out the cen­tral uni­verse the mind grav­ity of the In­fi­nite Spirit func­tions in li­ai­son with the spirit grav­ity of the Eter­nal Son, and these to­gether con­sti­tute the com­bined urge of the as­cen­dant souls to find God, to at­tain De­ity, to achieve Par­a­dise, and to know the Fa­ther.

• life in Havona › sin has never occurred in

14:2.9Ha­vona is a spir­i­tu­ally per­fect and phys­i­cally sta­ble uni­verse. The con­trol and bal­anced sta­bil­ity of the cen­tral uni­verse ap­pear to be per­fect. Ev­ery­thing phys­i­cal or spir­i­tual is per­fectly pre­dictable, but mind phe­nom­ena and per­son­al­ity vo­li­tion are not. We do in­fer that sin can be reck­oned as im­pos­si­ble of oc­cur­rence, but we do this on the ground that the na­tive free­will crea­tures of Ha­vona have never been guilty of trans­gress­ing the will of De­ity. Through all eter­nity these su­per­nal be­ings have been con­sis­tently loyal to the Eter­nals of Days. Nei­ther has sin ap­peared in any crea­ture who has en­tered Ha­vona as a pil­grim. There has never been an in­stance of mis­con­duct by any crea­ture of any group of per­son­al­i­ties ever cre­ated in, or ad­mit­ted to, the cen­tral Ha­vona uni­verse. So per­fect and so di­vine are the meth­ods and means of se­lec­tion in the uni­verses of time that never in the rec­ords of Ha­vona has an er­ror oc­curred; no mis­takes have ever been made; no as­cen­dant soul has ever been pre­ma­turely ad­mit­ted to the cen­tral uni­verse.

• life in Havona › no government, courts, or legislatures, only administrative direction

14:3.1Con­cern­ing the gov­ern­ment of the cen­tral uni­verse, there is none. Ha­vona is so ex­qui­sitely per­fect that no in­tel­lec­tual sys­tem of gov­ern­ment is re­quired. There are no reg­u­larly con­sti­tuted courts, nei­ther are there leg­isla­tive as­sem­blies; Ha­vona re­quires only ad­min­is­tra­tive di­rec­tion. Here may be ob­served the height of the ide­als of true self-gov­ern­ment.

14:3.2There is no need of gov­ern­ment among such per­fect and near-per­fect in­tel­li­gences. They stand in no need of reg­u­la­tion, for they are be­ings of na­tive per­fec­tion in­ter­spersed with evo­lu­tion­ary crea­tures who have long since passed the scrutiny of the su­preme tri­bu­nals of the super­uni­verses.

• individual worlds of Havona › each directed by one Eternal of Days

14:3.3The ad­min­is­tra­tion of Ha­vona is not au­to­matic, but it is mar­velously per­fect and di­vinely ef­fi­cient. It is chiefly plan­e­tary and is vested in the res­i­dent Eter­nal of Days, each Ha­vona sphere be­ing di­rected by one of these Trin­ity-ori­gin per­son­al­i­ties. Eter­nals of Days are not cre­ators, but they are per­fect ad­min­is­tra­tors. They teach with su­preme skill and di­rect their plan­e­tary chil­dren with a per­fec­tion of wis­dom bor­der­ing on ab­so­lute­ness.

• 7th Havona circuit › pilot world of 7th Havona circuit › ascenders awaken on
• function of Havona › final proving ground for ascenders
• function of Havona › training worlds of high personalities native to Paradise and H.

14:3.4The bil­lion spheres of the cen­tral uni­verse con­sti­tute the train­ing worlds of the high per­son­al­i­ties na­tive to Par­a­dise and Ha­vona and fur­ther serve as the fi­nal prov­ing grounds for as­cend­ing crea­tures from the evo­lu­tion­ary worlds of time. In the ex­e­cu­tion of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther’s great plan of crea­ture as­cen­sion the pil­grims of time are landed on the re­ceiv­ing worlds of the outer or sev­enth cir­cuit, and sub­se­quent to in­creased train­ing and en­larged ex­pe­ri­ence, they are pro­gres­sively ad­vanced in­ward, planet by planet and cir­cle by cir­cle, un­til they fi­nally at­tain the De­i­ties and achieve res­i­dence on Par­a­dise.

• life in Havona › ascenders currently use only 1% of capacity; finaliters use 1/10 of 1%

14:3.5At pres­ent, al­though the spheres of the seven cir­cuits are main­tained in all their su­per­nal glory, only about one per cent of all plan­e­tary ca­pac­ity is uti­lized in the work of fur­ther­ing the Fa­ther’s uni­ver­sal plan of mor­tal as­cen­sion. About one tenth of one per cent of the area of these enor­mous worlds is ded­i­cated to the life and ac­tiv­i­ties of the Corps of the Fi­nal­ity, be­ings eter­nally set­tled in light and life who of­ten so­journ and min­is­ter on the Ha­vona worlds. These ex­alted be­ings have their per­sonal res­i­dences on Par­a­dise.

• nature and constitution › largest inhabited spheres in grand universe

14:3.6The plan­e­tary con­struc­tion of the Ha­vona spheres is en­tirely un­like that of the evo­lu­tion­ary worlds and sys­tems of space. Nowhere else in all the grand uni­verse is it con­ve­nient to uti­lize such enor­mous spheres as in­hab­ited worlds. Tri­ata phys­i­cal con­sti­tu­tion, cou­pled with the bal­anc­ing ef­fect of the im­mense dark grav­ity bod­ies, makes it pos­si­ble so per­fectly to equal­ize the phys­i­cal forces and so ex­qui­sitely to bal­ance the var­i­ous at­trac­tions of this tremen­dous cre­ation. Anti­grav­ity is also em­ployed in the or­ga­ni­za­tion of the ma­te­rial func­tions and the spir­i­tual ac­tiv­i­ties of these enor­mous worlds.

• nature and constitution › real rivers and lakes

14:3.7The ar­chi­tec­ture, light­ing, and heat­ing, as well as the bi­o­logic and artis­tic em­bel­lish­ment, of the Ha­vona spheres, are quite be­yond the great­est pos­si­ble stretch of hu­man imag­i­na­tion. You can­not be told much about Ha­vona; to un­der­stand its beauty and grandeur you must see it. But there are real rivers and lakes on these per­fect worlds.

• nature and constitution › 7 basic life groups

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.

• nature and constitution › no decay or cellular death in

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.

• function of Havona › pattern for all universes
• nature and constitution › comprised of 1 billion perfect worlds circling Paradise

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.

14:5.1On Uran­tia you pass through a short and in­tense test dur­ing your ini­tial life of ma­te­rial ex­is­tence. On the man­sion worlds and up through your sys­tem, con­stel­la­tion, and lo­cal uni­verse, you tra­verse the mor­ontia phases of as­cen­sion. On the train­ing worlds of the super­uni­verse you pass through the true spirit stages of pro­gres­sion and are pre­pared for even­tual tran­sit to Ha­vona. On the seven cir­cuits of Ha­vona your at­tain­ment is in­tel­lec­tual, spir­i­tual, and ex­pe­ri­en­tial. And there is a def­i­nite task to be achieved on each of the worlds of each of these cir­cuits.

14:5.2Life on the di­vine worlds of the cen­tral uni­verse is so rich and full, so com­plete and re­plete, that it wholly tran­scends the hu­man con­cept of any­thing a cre­ated be­ing could pos­si­bly ex­pe­ri­ence. The so­cial and eco­nomic ac­tiv­i­ties of this eter­nal cre­ation are en­tirely dis­sim­i­lar to the oc­cu­pa­tions of ma­te­rial crea­tures liv­ing on evo­lu­tion­ary worlds like Uran­tia. Even the tech­nique of Ha­vona thought is un­like the pro­cess of think­ing on Uran­tia.

• life in Havona › inherently natural rules of conduct

14:5.3The reg­u­la­tions of the cen­tral uni­verse are fit­tingly and in­her­ently nat­u­ral; the rules of con­duct are not ar­bi­trary. In ev­ery re­quire­ment of Ha­vona there is dis­closed the rea­son of righ­teous­ness and the rule of jus­tice. And these two fac­tors, com­bined, equal what on Uran­tia would be de­nom­i­nated fair­ness. When you ar­rive in Ha­vona, you will nat­u­rally en­joy do­ing things the way they should be done.

• 1st Havona circuit › task is spiritual attainment
• 2nd Havona circuit › task is gaining familiarity with Paradise hosts
• 3rd Havona circuit › task is recognition of Universal Father
• 4th Havona circuit › task is recognition of Eternal Son
• 5th Havona circuit › task is recognition of Infinite Spirit
• 6th Havona circuit › task is recognition of Supreme
• 7th Havona circuit › pilot world of 7th Havona circuit › ascenders awaken on
• 7th Havona circuit › task is recognition of one’s Master Spirit
• circuits of Havona, generally › recognition requirements on each circuit

14:5.4When in­tel­li­gent be­ings first at­tain the cen­tral uni­verse, they are re­ceived and domi­ciled on the pi­lot world of the sev­enth Ha­vona cir­cuit. As the new ar­rivals pro­gress spir­i­tu­ally, at­tain iden­tity com­pre­hen­sion of their super­uni­verse Mas­ter Spirit, they are trans­ferred to the sixth cir­cle. (It is from these ar­range­ments in the cen­tral uni­verse that the cir­cles of prog­ress in the hu­man mind have been des­ig­nated.) Af­ter as­cend­ers have at­tained a re­al­iza­tion of Su­prem­acy and are thereby pre­pared for the De­ity ad­ven­ture, they are taken to the fifth cir­cuit; and af­ter at­tain­ing the In­fi­nite Spirit, they are trans­ferred to the fourth. Fol­low­ing the at­tain­ment of the Eter­nal Son, they are re­moved to the third; and when they have rec­og­nized the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther, they go to so­journ on the sec­ond cir­cuit of worlds, where they be­come more fa­mil­iar with the Par­a­dise hosts. Ar­rival on the first cir­cuit of Ha­vona sig­ni­fies the ac­cep­tance of the can­di­dates of time into the ser­vice of Par­a­dise. In­def­i­nitely, ac­cord­ing to the length and na­ture of the crea­ture as­cen­sion, they will tarry on the in­ner cir­cuit of pro­gres­sive spir­i­tual at­tain­ment. From this in­ner cir­cuit the as­cend­ing pil­grims pass in­ward to Par­a­dise res­i­dence and ad­mis­sion to the Corps of the Fi­nal­ity.

14:5.5Dur­ing your so­journ in Ha­vona as a pil­grim of as­cent, you will be al­lowed to visit freely among the worlds of the cir­cuit of your as­sign­ment. You will also be per­mit­ted to go back to the plan­ets of those cir­cuits you have pre­vi­ously tra­versed. And all this is pos­si­ble to those who so­journ on the cir­cles of Ha­vona with­out the ne­ces­sity of be­ing en­super­na­phimed. The pil­grims of time are able to equip them­selves to tra­verse “achieved” space but must de­pend on the or­dained tech­nique to ne­go­ti­ate “un­achieved” space; a pil­grim can­not leave Ha­vona nor go for­ward be­yond his as­signed cir­cuit with­out the aid of a trans­port super­na­phim.

• individual worlds of Havona › every world wholly unlike any other world

14:5.6There is a re­fresh­ing orig­i­nal­ity about this vast cen­tral cre­ation. Aside from the phys­i­cal or­ga­ni­za­tion of mat­ter and the fun­da­men­tal con­sti­tu­tion of the ba­sic or­ders of in­tel­li­gent be­ings and other liv­ing things, there is noth­ing in com­mon be­tween the worlds of Ha­vona. Ev­ery one of these plan­ets is an orig­i­nal, unique, and ex­clu­sive cre­ation; each planet is a match­less, su­perb, and per­fect pro­duc­tion. And this di­ver­sity of in­di­vid­u­al­ity ex­tends to all fea­tures of the phys­i­cal, in­tel­lec­tual, and spir­i­tual as­pects of plan­e­tary ex­is­tence. Each of these bil­lion per­fec­tion spheres has been de­vel­oped and em­bel­lished in ac­cor­dance with the plans of the res­i­dent Eter­nal of Days. And this is just why no two of them are alike.

14:5.7Not un­til you tra­verse the last of the Ha­vona cir­cuits and visit the last of the Ha­vona worlds, will the tonic of ad­ven­ture and the stim­u­lus of cu­rios­ity dis­ap­pear from your ca­reer. And then will the urge, the for­ward im­pulse of eter­nity, re­place its fore­run­ner, the ad­ven­ture lure of time.

14:5.8Mo­not­ony is in­dica­tive of im­ma­tu­rity of the cre­ative imag­i­na­tion and in­ac­tiv­ity of in­tel­lec­tual co-or­di­na­tion with the spir­i­tual en­dow­ment. By the time an as­cen­dant mor­tal be­gins the ex­plo­ration of these heav­enly worlds, he has al­ready at­tained emo­tional, in­tel­lec­tual, and so­cial, if not spir­i­tual, ma­tu­rity.

14:5.9Not only will you find un­dreamed-of changes con­fronting you as you ad­vance from cir­cuit to cir­cuit in Ha­vona, but your as­ton­ish­ment will be in­ex­press­ible as you pro­gress from planet to planet within each cir­cuit. Each of these bil­lion study worlds is a ver­i­ta­ble uni­ver­sity of sur­prises. Con­tin­u­ing as­ton­ish­ment, un­end­ing won­der, is the ex­pe­ri­ence of those who tra­verse these cir­cuits and tour these gi­gan­tic spheres. Mo­not­ony is not a part of the Ha­vona ca­reer.

14:5.10Love of ad­ven­ture, cu­rios­ity, and dread of mo­not­ony—these traits in­her­ent in evolv­ing hu­man na­ture—were not put there just to ag­gra­vate and an­noy you dur­ing your short so­journ on earth, but rather to sug­gest to you that death is only the be­gin­ning of an end­less ca­reer of ad­ven­ture, an ev­er­last­ing life of an­tic­i­pa­tion, an eter­nal voy­age of dis­cov­ery.

14:5.11Cu­rios­ity—the spirit of in­ves­ti­ga­tion, the urge of dis­cov­ery, the drive of ex­plo­ration—is a part of the in­born and di­vine en­dow­ment of evo­lu­tion­ary space crea­tures. These nat­u­ral im­pulses were not given you merely to be frus­trated and re­pressed. True, these am­bi­tious urges must fre­quently be re­strained dur­ing your short life on earth, dis­ap­point­ment must be of­ten ex­pe­ri­enced, but they are to be fully re­al­ized and glo­ri­ously grat­i­fied dur­ing the long ages to come.

14:6.1The range of the ac­tiv­i­ties of seven-cir­cuited Ha­vona is enor­mous. In gen­eral, they may be de­scribed as:

14:6.21. Havonal.

14:6.32. Par­a­di­si­a­cal.

14:6.43. As­cen­dant-fi­nite—Su­preme-Ul­ti­mate evo­lu­tional.

14:6.5Many super­fi­nite ac­tiv­i­ties take place in the Ha­vona of the pres­ent uni­verse age, in­volv­ing un­told di­ver­si­ties of ab­so­nite and other phases of mind and spirit func­tions. It is pos­si­ble that the cen­tral uni­verse serves many pur­poses which are not re­vealed to me, as it func­tions in nu­mer­ous ways be­yond the com­pre­hen­sion of the cre­ated mind. Nev­er­the­less, I will en­deavor to de­pict how this per­fect cre­ation min­is­ters to the needs and con­tributes to the sat­is­fac­tions of seven or­ders of uni­verse in­tel­li­gence.

14:6.61. The Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther—the First Source and Cen­ter. God the Fa­ther de­rives su­preme pa­ren­tal sat­is­fac­tion from the per­fec­tion of the cen­tral cre­ation. He en­joys the ex­pe­ri­ence of love sati­ety on near-equal­ity lev­els. The per­fect Cre­ator is di­vinely pleased with the ado­ra­tion of the per­fect crea­ture.

14:6.7Ha­vona af­fords the Fa­ther su­preme achieve­ment grat­i­fi­ca­tion. The per­fec­tion re­al­iza­tion in Ha­vona com­pen­sates for the time-space de­lay of the eter­nal urge of in­fi­nite ex­pan­sion.

14:6.8The Fa­ther en­joys the Ha­vona re­cip­ro­ca­tion of the di­vine beauty. It sat­is­fies the di­vine mind to af­ford a per­fect pat­tern of ex­qui­site har­mony for all evolv­ing uni­verses.

14:6.9Our Fa­ther be­holds the cen­tral uni­verse with per­fect plea­sure be­cause it is a wor­thy rev­e­la­tion of spirit re­al­ity to all per­son­al­i­ties of the uni­verse of uni­verses.

• function of Havona › eternal power nucleus for all universe expansion

14:6.10The God of uni­verses has fa­vor­able re­gard for Ha­vona and Par­a­dise as the eter­nal power nu­cleus for all sub­se­quent uni­verse ex­pan­sion in time and space.

14:6.11The eter­nal Fa­ther views with never-end­ing sat­is­fac­tion the Ha­vona cre­ation as the wor­thy and al­lur­ing goal for the as­cen­sion can­di­dates of time, his mor­tal grand­chil­dren of space achiev­ing their Cre­ator-Fa­ther’s eter­nal home. And God takes plea­sure in the Par­a­dise-Ha­vona uni­verse as the eter­nal home of De­ity and the di­vine fam­ily.

• function of Havona › basis for absolute confidence in Father

14:6.122. The Eter­nal Son—the Sec­ond Source and Cen­ter. To the Eter­nal Son the su­perb cen­tral cre­ation af­fords eter­nal proof of the part­ner­ship ef­fec­tive­ness of the di­vine fam­ily—Fa­ther, Son, and Spirit. It is the spir­i­tual and ma­te­rial ba­sis for ab­so­lute con­fi­dence in the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther.

14:6.13Ha­vona af­fords the Eter­nal Son an al­most un­lim­ited base for the ever-ex­pand­ing re­al­iza­tion of spirit power. The cen­tral uni­verse af­forded the Eter­nal Son the arena wherein he could safely and se­curely demon­strate the spirit and tech­nique of the be­stowal min­istry for the in­struc­tion of his as­so­ciate Par­a­dise Sons.

14:6.14Ha­vona is the re­al­ity foun­da­tion for the Eter­nal Son’s spirit-grav­ity con­trol of the uni­verse of uni­verses. This uni­verse af­fords the Son the grat­i­fi­ca­tion of pa­ren­tal crav­ing, spir­i­tual re­pro­duc­tion.

14:6.15The Ha­vona worlds and their per­fect in­hab­i­tants are the first and the eter­nally fi­nal dem­on­stra­tion that the Son is the Word of the Fa­ther. Thereby is the con­scious­ness of the Son as an in­fi­nite com­ple­ment of the Fa­ther per­fectly grat­i­fied.

14:6.16And this uni­verse af­fords the op­por­tu­nity for the re­al­iza­tion of re­cip­ro­ca­tion of equal­ity fra­ter­nity be­tween the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther and the Eter­nal Son, and this con­sti­tutes the ev­er­last­ing proof of the in­fi­nite per­son­al­ity of each.

14:6.173. The In­fi­nite Spirit—the Third Source and Cen­ter. The Ha­vona uni­verse af­fords the In­fi­nite Spirit proof of be­ing the Con­joint Ac­tor, the in­fi­nite rep­re­sen­ta­tive of the uni­fied Fa­ther-Son. In Ha­vona the In­fi­nite Spirit de­rives the com­bined sat­is­fac­tion of func­tion­ing as a cre­ative ac­tiv­ity while en­joy­ing the sat­is­fac­tion of ab­so­lute co­ex­is­tence with this di­vine achieve­ment.

14:6.18In Ha­vona the In­fi­nite Spirit found an arena wherein he could demon­strate the abil­ity and will­ing­ness to serve as a po­ten­tial mercy min­is­ter. In this per­fect cre­ation the Spirit re­hearsed for the ad­ven­ture of min­istry in the evo­lu­tion­ary uni­verses.

14:6.19This per­fect cre­ation af­forded the In­fi­nite Spirit op­por­tu­nity to par­tic­i­pate in uni­verse ad­min­is­tra­tion with both di­vine par­ents—to ad­min­is­ter a uni­verse as as­so­ciate-Cre­ator off­spring, thereby prepar­ing for the joint ad­min­is­tra­tion of the lo­cal uni­verses as the Cre­ative Spirit as­so­ciates of the Cre­ator Sons.

• function of Havona › mind laboratory of creators of cosmic mind

14:6.20The Ha­vona worlds are the mind lab­o­ra­tory of the cre­ators of the cos­mic mind and the min­is­ters to ev­ery crea­ture mind in ex­is­tence. Mind is dif­fer­ent on each Ha­vona world and serves as the pat­tern for all spir­i­tual and ma­te­rial crea­ture in­tel­lects.

14:6.21These per­fect worlds are the mind grad­u­ate schools for all be­ings des­tined for Par­a­dise so­ci­ety. They af­forded the Spirit abun­dant op­por­tu­nity to test out the tech­nique of mind min­istry on safe and ad­vi­sory per­son­al­i­ties.

14:6.22Ha­vona is a com­pen­sa­tion to the In­fi­nite Spirit for his wide­spread and un­selfish work in the uni­verses of space. Ha­vona is the per­fect home and re­treat for the un­tir­ing Mind Min­is­ter of time and space.

14:6.234. The Su­preme Be­ing—the evo­lu­tion­ary uni­fi­ca­tion of ex­pe­ri­en­tial De­ity. The Ha­vona cre­ation is the eter­nal and per­fect proof of the spir­i­tual re­al­ity of the Su­preme Be­ing. This per­fect cre­ation is a rev­e­la­tion of the per­fect and sym­met­ri­cal spirit na­ture of God the Su­preme be­fore the be­gin­nings of the power-per­son­al­ity syn­the­sis of the fi­nite re­flec­tions of the Par­a­dise De­i­ties in the ex­pe­ri­en­tial uni­verses of time and space.

• function of Havona › exemplifies future-eternal unity of Supreme

14:6.24In Ha­vona the power po­ten­tials of the Al­mighty are uni­fied with the spir­i­tual na­ture of the Su­preme. This cen­tral cre­ation is an ex­em­pli­fi­ca­tion of the fu­ture-eter­nal unity of the Su­preme.

14:6.25Ha­vona is a per­fect pat­tern of the uni­ver­sal­ity po­ten­tial of the Su­preme. This uni­verse is a fin­ished por­trayal of the fu­ture per­fec­tion of the Su­preme and is sug­ges­tive of the po­ten­tial of the Ul­ti­mate.

14:6.26Ha­vona ex­hibits fi­nal­ity of spirit val­ues ex­ist­ing as liv­ing will crea­tures of su­preme and per­fect self-con­trol; mind ex­ist­ing as ul­ti­mately equiv­a­lent to spirit; re­al­ity and unity of in­tel­li­gence with an un­lim­ited po­ten­tial.

14:6.275. The Co-or­di­nate Cre­ator Sons. Ha­vona is the ed­u­ca­tional train­ing ground where the Par­a­dise Mi­cha­els are pre­pared for their sub­se­quent ad­ven­tures in uni­verse cre­ation. This di­vine and per­fect cre­ation is a pat­tern for ev­ery Cre­ator Son. He strives to make his own uni­verse even­tu­ally at­tain to these Par­a­dise-Ha­vona lev­els of per­fec­tion.

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.

• function of Havona › source of overcontrol stabilizing local universes

14:6.29The Cre­ator Sons know that the cen­tral cre­ation is the real source of that in­dis­pens­able uni­verse over­con­trol which sta­bi­lizes and uni­fies their lo­cal uni­verses. They know that the per­sonal pres­ence of the ever-pres­ent in­flu­ence of the Su­preme and of the Ul­ti­mate is in Ha­vona.

14:6.30Ha­vona and Par­a­dise are the source of a Mi­chael Son’s cre­ative power. Here dwell the be­ings who co-op­er­ate with him in uni­verse cre­ation. From Par­a­dise come the Uni­verse Mother Spir­its, the cocre­ators of lo­cal uni­verses.

14:6.31The Par­a­dise Sons re­gard the cen­tral cre­ation as the home of their di­vine par­ents—their home. It is the place they en­joy re­turn­ing to ever and anon.

14:6.326. The Co-or­di­nate Min­is­ter­ing Daugh­ters. The Uni­verse Mother Spir­its, cocre­ators of the lo­cal uni­verses, se­cure their preper­sonal train­ing on the worlds of Ha­vona in close as­so­ci­a­tion with the Spir­its of the Cir­cuits. In the cen­tral uni­verse the Spirit Daugh­ters of the lo­cal uni­verses were duly trained in the meth­ods of co-op­er­a­tion with the Sons of Par­a­dise, all the while sub­ject to the will of the Fa­ther.

14:6.33On the worlds of Ha­vona the Spirit and the Daugh­ters of the Spirit find the mind pat­terns for all their groups of spir­i­tual and ma­te­rial in­tel­li­gences, and this cen­tral uni­verse is the some­time des­tiny of those crea­tures which a Uni­verse Mother Spirit jointly spon­sors with an as­so­ci­ated Cre­ator Son.

14:6.34The Uni­verse Mother Cre­ator re­mem­bers Par­a­dise and Ha­vona as the place of her ori­gin and the home of the In­fi­nite Mother Spirit, the abode of the per­son­al­ity pres­ence of the In­fi­nite Mind.

14:6.35From this cen­tral uni­verse also came the be­stowal of the per­sonal pre­rog­a­tives of cre­ator­ship which a Uni­verse Di­vine Min­is­ter em­ploys as com­ple­men­tal to a Cre­ator Son in the work of cre­at­ing liv­ing will crea­tures.

14:6.36And lastly, since these Daugh­ter Spir­its of the In­fi­nite Mother Spirit will not likely ever re­turn to their Par­a­dise home, they de­rive great sat­is­fac­tion from the uni­ver­sal re­flec­tiv­ity phe­nom­e­non as­so­ci­ated with the Su­preme Be­ing in Ha­vona and per­son­al­ized in Maj­es­ton on Par­a­dise.

14:6.377. The Evo­lu­tion­ary Mor­tals of the As­cend­ing Ca­reer. Ha­vona is the home of the pat­tern per­son­al­ity of ev­ery mor­tal type and the home of all super­hu­man per­son­al­i­ties of mor­tal as­so­ci­a­tion who are not na­tive to the cre­ations of time.

14:6.38These worlds pro­vide the stim­u­lus of all hu­man im­pulses to­wards the at­tain­ment of true spirit val­ues on the high­est con­ceiv­able re­al­ity lev­els. Ha­vona is the pre-Par­a­dise train­ing goal of ev­ery as­cend­ing mor­tal. Here mor­tals at­tain pre-Par­a­dise De­ity—the Su­preme Be­ing. Ha­vona stands be­fore ev­ery will crea­ture as the por­tal to Par­a­dise and God at­tain­ment.

• function of Havona › workshop and playground of finaliters

14:6.39Par­a­dise is the home, and Ha­vona the work­shop and play­ground, of the fi­nal­i­ters. And ev­ery God-know­ing mor­tal craves to be a fi­nal­i­ter.

14:6.40The cen­tral uni­verse is not only man’s es­tab­lished des­tiny, but it is also the start­ing place of the eter­nal ca­reer of the fi­nal­i­ters as they shall some­time be started out on the undis­closed and uni­ver­sal ad­ven­ture in the ex­pe­ri­ence of ex­plor­ing the in­fin­ity of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther.

14:6.41Ha­vona will un­ques­tion­ably con­tinue to func­tion with ab­so­nite sig­nif­i­cance even in fu­ture uni­verse ages which may wit­ness space pil­grims at­tempt­ing to find God on super­fi­nite lev­els. Ha­vona has ca­pac­ity to serve as a train­ing uni­verse for ab­so­nite be­ings. It will prob­a­bly be the fin­ish­ing school when the seven super­uni­verses are func­tion­ing as the in­ter­me­di­ate school for the grad­u­ates of the pri­mary schools of outer space. And we in­cline to the opin­ion that the po­ten­tials of eter­nal Ha­vona are re­ally un­lim­ited, that the cen­tral uni­verse has eter­nal ca­pac­ity to serve as an ex­pe­ri­en­tial train­ing uni­verse for all past, pres­ent, or fu­ture types of cre­ated be­ings.

• individual worlds of Havona › each directed by one Eternal of Days

15:2.97. The Grand Uni­verse. Seven super­uni­verses make up the pres­ent or­ga­nized grand uni­verse, con­sist­ing of ap­prox­i­mately seven tril­lion in­hab­it­able worlds plus the ar­chi­tec­tural spheres and the one bil­lion in­hab­ited spheres of Ha­vona. The super­uni­verses are ruled and ad­min­is­tered in­di­rectly and re­flec­tively from Par­a­dise by the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its. The bil­lion worlds of Ha­vona are di­rectly ad­min­is­tered by the Eter­nals of Days, one such Su­preme Trin­ity Per­son­al­ity pre­sid­ing over each of these per­fect spheres.

• Infinite Spirit is personal presence of ministry

16:2.3The In­fi­nite Spirit ex­erts an in­flu­ence of per­sonal pres­ence within the con­fines of the Par­a­dise-Ha­vona sys­tem; else­where his per­sonal spirit pres­ence is ex­erted by and through one of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its. There­fore is the super­uni­verse spirit pres­ence of the Third Source and Cen­ter on any world or in any in­di­vid­ual con­di­tioned by the unique na­ture of the super­vi­sory Mas­ter Spirit of that seg­ment of cre­ation. Con­versely, the com­bined lines of spirit force and in­tel­li­gence pass in­ward to the Third Per­son of De­ity by way of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its.

• circuits of Havona, generally › each circuit pervaded by one Spirit of Havona Circuits

17:0.11The Seven Mas­ter Spir­its are the co-or­di­nat­ing di­rec­tors of this far-flung ad­min­is­tra­tive realm. In some mat­ters per­tain­ing to the ad­min­is­tra­tive reg­u­la­tion of or­ga­nized phys­i­cal power, mind en­ergy, and im­per­sonal spirit min­istry, they act per­son­ally and di­rectly, and in oth­ers they func­tion through their mul­ti­far­i­ous as­so­ciates. In all mat­ters of an ex­ec­u­tive na­ture—rul­ings, reg­u­la­tions, ad­just­ments, and ad­min­is­tra­tive de­ci­sions—the Mas­ter Spir­its act in the per­sons of the Seven Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives. In the cen­tral uni­verse the Mas­ter Spir­its may func­tion through the Seven Spir­its of the Ha­vona Cir­cuits; on the head­quar­ters of the seven super­uni­verses they re­veal them­selves through the chan­nel of the Re­flec­tive Spir­its and act through the per­sons of the An­cients of Days, with whom they are in per­sonal com­mu­ni­ca­tion through the Re­flec­tive Im­age Aids.

17:5.1The Seven Spir­its of the Ha­vona Cir­cuits are the joint im­per­sonal rep­re­sen­ta­tion of the In­fi­nite Spirit and the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its to the seven cir­cuits of the cen­tral uni­verse. They are the ser­vants of the Mas­ter Spir­its, whose col­lec­tive off­spring they are. The Mas­ter Spir­its pro­vide a dis­tinct and di­ver­si­fied ad­min­is­tra­tive in­di­vid­u­al­ity in the seven super­uni­verses. Through these uni­form Spir­its of the Ha­vona Cir­cuits they are en­abled to pro­vide a uni­fied, uni­form, and co-or­di­nated spir­i­tual super­vi­sion for the cen­tral uni­verse.

17:5.2The Seven Spir­its of the Cir­cuits are each lim­ited to the per­me­ation of a sin­gle Ha­vona cir­cuit. They are not di­rectly con­cerned with the regimes of the Eter­nals of Days, the rulers of the in­di­vid­ual Ha­vona worlds. But they are in li­ai­son with the Seven Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives, and they syn­chro­nize with the cen­tral uni­verse pres­ence of the Su­preme Be­ing. Their work is wholly con­fined to Ha­vona.

17:5.3These Spir­its of the Cir­cuits make con­tact with those who so­journ in Ha­vona through their per­sonal off­spring, the ter­tiary super­na­phim. While the Cir­cuit Spir­its are co­ex­is­tent with the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its, their func­tion in the cre­ation of ter­tiary super­na­phim did not at­tain ma­jor im­por­tance un­til the first pil­grims of time ar­rived on the outer cir­cuit of Ha­vona in the days of Grand­fanda.

17:5.4As you ad­vance from cir­cuit to cir­cuit in Ha­vona, you will learn of the Spir­its of the Cir­cuits, but you will not be able to hold per­sonal com­mu­nion with them, even though you may per­son­ally en­joy, and rec­og­nize the im­per­sonal pres­ence of, their spir­i­tual in­flu­ence.

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.

18:2.1Each of the bil­lion worlds of Ha­vona is di­rected by a Su­preme Trin­ity Per­son­al­ity. These rulers are known as the Eter­nals of Days, and they num­ber ex­actly one bil­lion, one for each of the Ha­vona spheres. They are the off­spring of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity, but like the Se­crets of Su­prem­acy there are no rec­ords of their ori­gin. For­ever have these two groups of all-wise fa­thers ruled their ex­qui­site worlds of the Par­a­dise-Ha­vona sys­tem, and they func­tion with­out ro­ta­tion or re­as­sign­ment.

Ev­ery world is a place of ev­er­last­ing beauty and is wholly un­like any other world in the cen­tral uni­verse. And you will each spend a longer or shorter time on each of these unique and thrilling spheres on your way in­ward through Ha­vona to Par­a­dise. It is nat­u­ral, on your world, to speak of Par­a­dise as up­ward, but it would be more cor­rect to re­fer to the di­vine goal of as­cen­sion as in­ward.

Nei­ther Per­fec­tors of Wis­dom nor Di­vine Coun­selors are thus per­ma­nently at­tached to the Ha­vona ad­min­is­tra­tions, nor do we al­to­gether un­der­stand why Uni­ver­sal Cen­sors are sta­tioned in the cen­tral uni­verse. Their pres­ent ac­tiv­i­ties hardly ac­count for their as­sign­ment in Ha­vona, and we there­fore sus­pect that they are there in an­tic­i­pa­tion of the needs of some fu­ture uni­verse age in which the Ha­vona pop­u­la­tion may par­tially change.

To­gether they com­prise the grand corps of Trin­ity ad­min­is­tra­tors, rulers, ex­ec­u­tives, ad­vis­ers, coun­selors, and judges. Their num­bers slightly ex­ceed thirty-seven bil­lion.

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.

But when these same Seven Spir­its cre­ate in­di­vid­u­ally, the re­sult­ing or­ders are al­ways sev­en­fold in na­ture; the chil­dren of each Mas­ter Spirit par­take of the na­ture of their cre­ator and are ac­cord­ingly di­verse from the oth­ers.

Though par­tak­ing of the na­ture of the Third Source and Cen­ter, these seven sub­sidiary Spir­its of Ha­vona were not a part of the orig­i­nal pat­tern uni­verse.

There is no time limit set on the prog­ress of the as­cend­ing crea­tures from world to world and from cir­cuit to cir­cuit, just as no fixed span of time is ar­bi­trar­ily as­signed to res­i­dence on the mor­ontia worlds. But, whereas ad­e­quately de­vel­oped in­di­vid­u­als may be ex­empted from so­journ on one or more of the lo­cal uni­verse train­ing worlds, no pil­grim may avoid pass­ing through all seven of the Ha­vona cir­cuits of pro­gres­sive spir­i­tu­al­iza­tion.

26:4.12The pil­grim lands on the re­ceiv­ing planet of Ha­vona, the pi­lot world of the sev­enth cir­cuit, with only one en­dow­ment of per­fec­tion, per­fec­tion of pur­pose. The Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther has de­creed: “Be you per­fect, even as I am per­fect.” That is the as­tound­ing in­vi­ta­tion-com­mand broad­cast to the fi­nite chil­dren of the worlds of space. The pro­mul­ga­tion of that in­junc­tion has set all cre­ation astir in the co-op­er­a­tive ef­fort of the ce­les­tial be­ings to as­sist in bring­ing about the ful­fill­ment and re­al­iza­tion of that tremen­dous com­mand of the First Great Source and Cen­ter.

26:4.13When, through and by the min­istry of all the helper hosts of the uni­ver­sal scheme of sur­vival, you are fi­nally de­posited on the re­ceiv­ing world of Ha­vona, you ar­rive with only one sort of per­fec­tion—per­fec­tion of pur­pose. Your pur­pose has been thor­oughly proved; your faith has been tested. You are known to be dis­ap­point­ment proof. Not even the fail­ure to dis­cern the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther can shake the faith or se­ri­ously dis­turb the trust of an as­cen­dant mor­tal who has passed through the ex­pe­ri­ence that all must tra­verse in or­der to at­tain the per­fect spheres of Ha­vona. By the time you reach Ha­vona, your sin­cer­ity has be­come sub­lime. Per­fec­tion of pur­pose and di­vin­ity of de­sire, with stead­fast­ness of faith, have se­cured your en­trance to the set­tled abodes of eter­nity; your de­liv­er­ance from the un­cer­tain­ties of time is full and com­plete; and now must you come face to face with the prob­lems of Ha­vona and the im­men­si­ties of Par­a­dise, to meet which you have so long been in train­ing in the ex­pe­ri­en­tial epochs of time on the world schools of space.

• Paradise Citizens first arrived in days of Grandfanda

26:5.1The first of the seven groups of sec­ondary super­na­phim to be en­coun­tered are the pil­grim helpers, those be­ings of quick un­der­stand­ing and broad sym­pa­thy who wel­come the much-trav­eled as­cend­ers of space to the sta­bi­lized worlds and set­tled econ­omy of the cen­tral uni­verse. Si­mul­ta­ne­ously these high min­is­ters be­gin their work for the Par­a­dise pil­grims of eter­nity, the first of whom ar­rived on the pi­lot world of the in­ner Ha­vona cir­cuit con­comi­tantly with the land­ing of Grand­fanda on the pi­lot world of the outer cir­cuit. Back in those far-dis­tant days the pil­grims from Par­a­dise and the pil­grims of time first met on the re­ceiv­ing world of cir­cuit num­ber four.

26:5.2These pil­grim helpers, func­tion­ing on the sev­enth cir­cle of Ha­vona worlds, con­duct their work for the as­cend­ing mor­tals in three ma­jor di­vi­sions: first, the su­preme un­der­stand­ing of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity; sec­ond, the spir­i­tual com­pre­hen­sion of the Fa­ther-Son part­ner­ship; and third, the in­tel­lec­tual rec­og­ni­tion of the In­fi­nite Spirit. Each of these phases of in­struc­tion is di­vided into seven branches of twelve mi­nor di­vi­sions of sev­enty sub­sidiary groups; and each of these sev­enty sub­sidiary group­ings of in­struc­tion is pre­sented in one thou­sand clas­si­fi­ca­tions. More de­tailed in­struc­tion is pro­vided on sub­se­quent cir­cles, but an out­line of ev­ery Par­a­dise re­quire­ment is taught by the pil­grim helpers.

26:5.3That, then, is the pri­mary or el­e­men­tary course which con­fronts the faith-tested and much-trav­eled pil­grims of space. But long be­fore reach­ing Ha­vona, these as­cen­dant chil­dren of time have learned to feast upon un­cer­tainty, to fat­ten upon dis­ap­point­ment, to en­thuse over ap­par­ent de­feat, to in­vig­o­rate in the pres­ence of dif­fi­cul­ties, to ex­hibit in­domitable cour­age in the face of im­men­sity, and to ex­er­cise un­con­quer­able faith when con­fronted with the chal­lenge of the in­ex­pli­ca­ble. Long since, the bat­tle cry of these pil­grims be­came: “In li­ai­son with God, noth­ing—ab­so­lutely noth­ing—is im­pos­si­ble.”

26:5.4There is a def­i­nite re­quire­ment of the pil­grims of time on each of the Ha­vona cir­cles; and while ev­ery pil­grim con­tin­ues un­der the tute­lage of super­na­phim by na­ture adapted to help­ing that par­tic­u­lar type of as­cen­dant crea­ture, the course that must be mas­tered is fairly uni­form for all as­cend­ers who reach the cen­tral uni­verse. This course of achieve­ment is quan­ti­ta­tive, qual­i­ta­tive, and ex­pe­ri­en­tial—in­tel­lec­tual, spir­i­tual, and su­preme.

• 7th Havona circuit › task is recognition of one’s Master Spirit

26:5.5Time is of lit­tle con­se­quence on the Ha­vona cir­cles. In a lim­ited man­ner it en­ters into the pos­si­bil­i­ties of ad­vance­ment, but achieve­ment is the fi­nal and su­preme test. The very mo­ment your super­aphic as­so­ciate deems you to be com­pe­tent to pass in­ward to the next cir­cle, you will be taken be­fore the twelve ad­ju­tants of the sev­enth Cir­cuit Spirit. Here you will be re­quired to pass the tests of the cir­cle de­ter­mined by the super­uni­verse of your ori­gin and by the sys­tem of your na­tiv­ity. The di­vin­ity at­tain­ment of this cir­cle takes place on the pi­lot world and con­sists in the spir­i­tual rec­og­ni­tion and re­al­iza­tion of the Mas­ter Spirit of the as­cend­ing pil­grim’s super­uni­verse.

26:5.6When the work of the outer Ha­vona cir­cle is fin­ished and the course pre­sented is mas­tered, the pil­grim helpers take their sub­jects to the pi­lot world of the next cir­cle and com­mit them to the care of the su­prem­acy guides. The pil­grim helpers al­ways tarry for a sea­son to as­sist in mak­ing the trans­fer both pleas­ant and prof­itable.

26:6.1As­cend­ers of space are des­ig­nated “spir­i­tual grad­u­ates” when trans­lated from the sev­enth to the sixth cir­cle and are placed un­der the im­me­di­ate super­vi­sion of the su­prem­acy guides. These guides should not be con­fused with the Grad­u­ate Guides—be­long­ing to the Higher Per­son­al­i­ties of the In­fi­nite Spirit—who, with their servi­tal as­so­ciates, min­is­ter on all cir­cuits of Ha­vona to both as­cend­ing and de­scend­ing pil­grims. The su­prem­acy guides func­tion only on the sixth cir­cle of the cen­tral uni­verse.

26:6.2It is in this cir­cle that the as­cend­ers achieve a new re­al­iza­tion of Su­preme Di­vin­ity. Through their long ca­reers in the evo­lu­tion­ary uni­verses the pil­grims of time have been ex­pe­ri­enc­ing a grow­ing aware­ness of the re­al­ity of an al­mighty over­con­trol of the time-space cre­ations. Here, on this Ha­vona cir­cuit, they come near to en­coun­ter­ing the cen­tral uni­verse source of time-space unity—the spir­i­tual re­al­ity of God the Su­preme.

26:6.3I am some­what at a loss to ex­plain what takes place on this cir­cle. No per­son­al­ized pres­ence of Su­prem­acy is per­cep­ti­ble to the as­cend­ers. In cer­tain re­spects, new re­la­tion­ships with the Sev­enth Mas­ter Spirit com­pen­sate this non­con­tactabil­ity of the Su­preme Be­ing. But re­gard­less of our in­abil­ity to grasp the tech­nique, each as­cend­ing crea­ture seems to un­dergo a trans­form­ing growth, a new in­te­gra­tion of con­scious­ness, a new spir­i­tu­al­iza­tion of pur­pose, a new sen­si­tiv­ity for di­vin­ity, which can hardly be sat­is­fac­to­rily ex­plained with­out as­sum­ing the un­re­vealed ac­tiv­ity of the Su­preme Be­ing. To those of us who have ob­served these mys­te­ri­ous trans­ac­tions, it ap­pears as if God the Su­preme were af­fec­tion­ately be­stow­ing upon his ex­pe­ri­en­tial chil­dren, up to the very lim­its of their ex­pe­ri­en­tial ca­pac­i­ties, those en­hance­ments of in­tel­lec­tual grasp, of spir­i­tual in­sight, and of per­son­al­ity out­reach which they will so need, in all their ef­forts at pen­e­trat­ing the di­vin­ity level of the Trin­ity of Su­prem­acy, to achieve the eter­nal and ex­is­ten­tial De­i­ties of Par­a­dise.

26:6.4When the su­prem­acy guides deem their pupils ripe for ad­vance­ment, they bring them be­fore the com­mis­sion of sev­enty, a mixed group serv­ing as ex­am­in­ers on the pi­lot world of cir­cuit num­ber six. Af­ter sat­is­fy­ing this com­mis­sion as to their com­pre­hen­sion of the Su­preme Be­ing and of the Trin­ity of Su­prem­acy, the pil­grims are cer­ti­fied for trans­la­tion to the fifth cir­cuit.

• 5th Havona circuit › task is recognition of Infinite Spirit

26:7.1Trin­ity guides are the tire­less min­is­ters of the fifth cir­cle of the Ha­vona train­ing of the ad­vanc­ing pil­grims of time and space. The spir­i­tual grad­u­ates are here des­ig­nated “can­di­dates for the De­ity ad­ven­ture” since it is on this cir­cle, un­der the di­rec­tion of the Trin­ity guides, that the pil­grims re­ceive ad­vanced in­struc­tion con­cern­ing the di­vine Trin­ity in prepa­ra­tion for the at­tempt to achieve the per­son­al­ity rec­og­ni­tion of the In­fi­nite Spirit. And here the as­cend­ing pil­grims dis­cover what true study and real men­tal ef­fort mean as they be­gin to dis­cern the na­ture of the still-more-tax­ing and far-more-ar­du­ous spir­i­tual ex­er­tion that will be re­quired to meet the de­mands of the high goal set for their achieve­ment on the worlds of this cir­cuit.

26:7.2Most faith­ful and ef­fi­cient are the Trin­ity guides; and each pil­grim re­ceives the un­di­vided at­ten­tion, and en­joys the whole af­fec­tion, of a sec­ondary super­na­phim be­long­ing to this or­der. Never would a pil­grim of time find the first ap­proach­able per­son of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity were it not for the help and as­sis­tance of these guides and the host of other spir­i­tual be­ings en­gaged in in­struct­ing the as­cend­ers re­spect­ing the na­ture and tech­nique of the forth­com­ing De­ity ad­ven­ture.

26:7.3Af­ter the com­ple­tion of the course of train­ing on this cir­cuit the Trin­ity guides take their pupils to its pi­lot world and pre­sent them be­fore one of the many tri­une com­mis­sions func­tion­ing as ex­am­in­ers and cer­ti­fiers of can­di­dates for the De­ity ad­ven­ture. These com­mis­sions con­sist of one fel­low of the fi­nal­i­ters, one of the di­rec­tors of con­duct of the or­der of pri­mary super­na­phim, and ei­ther a Soli­tary Mes­sen­ger of space or a Trin­i­tized Son of Par­a­dise.

26:7.4When an as­cen­dant soul ac­tu­ally starts for Par­a­dise, he is ac­com­pa­nied only by the tran­sit trio: the super­aphic cir­cle as­so­ciate, the Grad­u­ate Guide, and the ever-pres­ent servi­tal as­so­ciate of the lat­ter. These ex­cur­sions from the Ha­vona cir­cles to Par­a­dise are trial trips; the as­cend­ers are not yet of Par­a­dise sta­tus. They do not achieve res­i­den­tial sta­tus on Par­a­dise un­til they have passed through the ter­mi­nal rest of time sub­se­quent to the at­tain­ment of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther and the fi­nal clear­ance of the Ha­vona cir­cuits. Not un­til af­ter the di­vine rest do they par­take of the “essence of di­vin­ity” and the “spirit of su­prem­acy” and thus re­ally be­gin to func­tion in the cir­cle of eter­nity and in the pres­ence of the Trin­ity.

26:7.5The as­cender’s com­pan­ions of the tran­sit trio are not re­quired to en­able him to lo­cate the ge­o­graphic pres­ence of the spir­i­tual lu­mi­nos­ity of the Trin­ity, rather to af­ford all pos­si­ble as­sis­tance to a pil­grim in his dif­fi­cult task of rec­og­niz­ing, dis­cern­ing, and com­pre­hend­ing the In­fi­nite Spirit suf­fi­ciently to con­sti­tute per­son­al­ity rec­og­ni­tion. Any as­cen­dant pil­grim on Par­a­dise can dis­cern the ge­o­graphic or lo­ca­tional pres­ence of the Trin­ity, the great ma­jor­ity are able to con­tact the in­tel­lec­tual re­al­ity of the De­i­ties, es­pe­cially the Third Per­son, but not all can rec­og­nize or even par­tially com­pre­hend the re­al­ity of the spir­i­tual pres­ence of the Fa­ther and the Son. Still more dif­fi­cult is even the min­i­mum spir­i­tual com­pre­hen­sion of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther.

26:7.6Sel­dom does the quest for the In­fi­nite Spirit fail of con­sum­ma­tion, and when their sub­jects have suc­ceeded in this phase of the De­ity ad­ven­ture, the Trin­ity guides pre­pare to trans­fer them to the min­istry of the Son find­ers on the fourth cir­cle of Ha­vona.

• 4th Havona circuit › task is recognition of Eternal Son

26:8.1The fourth Ha­vona cir­cuit is some­times called the “cir­cuit of the Sons.” From the worlds of this cir­cuit the as­cend­ing pil­grims go to Par­a­dise to achieve an un­der­stand­ing con­tact with the Eter­nal Son, while on the worlds of this cir­cuit the de­scend­ing pil­grims achieve a new com­pre­hen­sion of the na­ture and mis­sion of the Cre­ator Sons of time and space. There are seven worlds in this cir­cuit on which the re­serve corps of the Par­a­dise Mi­cha­els main­tain spe­cial ser­vice schools of mu­tual min­istry to both the as­cend­ing and de­scend­ing pil­grims; and it is on these worlds of the Mi­chael Sons that the pil­grims of time and the pil­grims of eter­nity ar­rive at their first truly mu­tual un­der­stand­ing of one an­other. In many re­spects the ex­pe­ri­ences of this cir­cuit are the most in­trigu­ing of the en­tire Ha­vona so­journ.

26:8.2The Son find­ers are the super­aphic min­is­ters to the as­cend­ing mor­tals of the fourth cir­cuit. In ad­di­tion to the gen­eral work of prepar­ing their can­di­dates for a re­al­iza­tion of the Trin­ity re­la­tion­ships of the Eter­nal Son, these Son find­ers must so fully in­struct their sub­jects that they will be wholly suc­cess­ful: first, in the ad­e­quate spir­i­tual com­pre­hen­sion of the Son; sec­ond, in the sat­is­fac­tory per­son­al­ity rec­og­ni­tion of the Son; and third, in the proper dif­fer­en­ti­a­tion of the Son from the per­son­al­ity of the In­fi­nite Spirit.

26:8.3Af­ter the at­tain­ment of the In­fi­nite Spirit, no more ex­am­i­na­tions are con­ducted. The tests of the in­ner cir­cles are the per­for­mances of the pil­grim can­di­dates when in the em­brace of the en­shroud­ment of the De­i­ties. Ad­vance­ment is de­ter­mined purely by the spir­i­tu­al­ity of the in­di­vid­ual, and no one but the Gods pre­sumes to pass upon this pos­ses­sion. In the event of fail­ure no rea­sons are ever as­signed, nei­ther are the can­di­dates them­selves nor their var­i­ous tu­tors and guides ever chided or crit­i­cized. On Par­a­dise, dis­ap­point­ment is never re­garded as de­feat; post­pone­ment is never looked upon as dis­grace; the ap­par­ent fail­ures of time are never con­fused with the sig­nif­i­cant de­lays of eter­nity.

26:8.4Not many pil­grims ex­pe­ri­ence the de­lay of seem­ing fail­ure in the De­ity ad­ven­ture. Nearly all at­tain the In­fi­nite Spirit, though oc­ca­sion­ally a pil­grim from super­uni­verse num­ber one does not suc­ceed on the first at­tempt. The pil­grims who at­tain the Spirit sel­dom fail in find­ing the Son; of those who do fail on the first ad­ven­ture, al­most all hail from super­uni­verses three and five. The great ma­jor­ity of those who fail on the first ad­ven­ture to at­tain the Fa­ther, af­ter find­ing both the Spirit and the Son, hail from super­uni­verse num­ber six, though a few from num­bers two and three are like­wise un­suc­cess­ful. And all this seems clearly to in­di­cate that there is some good and suf­fi­cient rea­son for these ap­par­ent fail­ures; in re­al­ity, sim­ply un­escapable de­lays.

26:8.5The de­feated can­di­dates for the De­ity ad­ven­ture are placed un­der the ju­ris­dic­tion of the chiefs of as­sign­ment, a group of pri­mary super­na­phim, and are re­manded to the work of the realms of space for a pe­riod of not less than one mil­len­nium. They never re­turn to the super­uni­verse of their na­tiv­ity, al­ways to that super­cre­ation most pro­pi­tious for their re­train­ing in prepa­ra­tion for the sec­ond De­ity ad­ven­ture. Fol­low­ing this ser­vice, on their own mo­tion, they re­turn to the outer cir­cle of Ha­vona, are im­me­di­ately es­corted to the cir­cle of their in­ter­rupted ca­reer, and at once re­sume their prepa­ra­tions for the De­ity ad­ven­ture. Never do the sec­ondary super­na­phim fail to pi­lot their sub­jects suc­cess­fully on the sec­ond at­tempt, and the same super­aphic min­is­ters and other guides al­ways at­tend these can­di­dates dur­ing this sec­ond ad­ven­ture.

26:9.1When the pil­grim soul at­tains the third cir­cle of Ha­vona, he comes un­der the tute­lage of the Fa­ther guides, the older, highly skilled, and most ex­pe­ri­enced of the super­aphic min­is­ters. On the worlds of this cir­cuit the Fa­ther guides main­tain schools of wis­dom and col­leges of tech­nique wherein all the be­ings in­hab­it­ing the cen­tral uni­verse serve as teach­ers. Noth­ing is ne­glected which would be of ser­vice to a crea­ture of time in this tran­scen­dent ad­ven­ture of eter­nity at­tain­ment.

• 3rd Havona circuit › task is recognition of Universal Father

26:9.2The at­tain­ment of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther is the pass­port to eter­nity, not­with­stand­ing the re­main­ing cir­cuits to be tra­versed. It is there­fore a mo­men­tous oc­ca­sion on the pi­lot world of cir­cle num­ber three when the tran­sit trio an­nounce that the last ven­ture of time is about to en­sue; that an­other crea­ture of space seeks en­try to Par­a­dise through the por­tals of eter­nity.

26:9.3The test of time is al­most over; the race for eter­nity has been all but run. The days of un­cer­tainty are end­ing; the temp­ta­tion to doubt is van­ish­ing; the in­junc­tion to be per­fect has been obeyed. From the very bot­tom of in­tel­li­gent ex­is­tence the crea­ture of time and ma­te­rial per­son­al­ity has as­cended the evo­lu­tion­ary spheres of space, thus prov­ing the fea­si­bil­ity of the as­cen­sion plan while for­ever demon­strat­ing the jus­tice and righ­teous­ness of the com­mand of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther to his lowly crea­tures of the worlds: “Be you per­fect, even as I am per­fect.”

26:9.4Step by step, life by life, world by world, the as­cen­dant ca­reer has been mas­tered, and the goal of De­ity has been at­tained. Sur­vival is com­plete in per­fec­tion, and per­fec­tion is re­plete in the su­prem­acy of di­vin­ity. Time is lost in eter­nity; space is swal­lowed up in wor­ship­ful iden­tity and har­mony with the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther. The broad­casts of Ha­vona flash forth the space re­ports of glory, the good news that in very truth the con­sci­en­tious crea­tures of an­i­mal na­ture and ma­te­rial ori­gin have, through evo­lu­tion­ary as­cen­sion, be­come in re­al­ity and eter­nally the per­fected sons of God.

26:10.1The super­aphic coun­selors and ad­vis­ers of the sec­ond cir­cle are the in­struc­tors of the chil­dren of time re­gard­ing the ca­reer of eter­nity. The at­tain­ment of Par­a­dise en­tails re­spon­si­bil­i­ties of a new and higher or­der, and the so­journ on the sec­ond cir­cle af­fords am­ple op­por­tu­nity to re­ceive the help­ful coun­sel of these de­voted super­na­phim.

• 2nd Havona circuit › defeated pilgrims are advanced to 2nd circuit before return to superuniverses

26:10.2Those who are un­suc­cess­ful in the first ef­fort at De­ity at­tain­ment are ad­vanced from the cir­cle of fail­ure di­rectly to the sec­ond cir­cle be­fore they are re­turned to super­uni­verse ser­vice. Thus the coun­selors and ad­vis­ers also serve as the coun­selors and com­forters of these dis­ap­pointed pil­grims. They have just en­coun­tered their great­est dis­ap­point­ment, in no way dif­fer­ing from the long list of such ex­pe­ri­ences whereon they climbed, as on a lad­der, from chaos to glory—ex­cept in its mag­ni­tude. These are they who have drained the ex­pe­ri­en­tial cup to its dregs; and I have ob­served that they tem­porar­ily re­turn to the ser­vices of the super­uni­verses as the high­est type of lov­ing min­is­tra­tors to the chil­dren of time and tem­po­ral dis­ap­point­ments.

26:10.3Af­ter a long so­journ on cir­cuit num­ber two the sub­jects of dis­ap­point­ment are ex­am­ined by the coun­cils of per­fec­tion sit­ting on the pi­lot world of this cir­cle and are cer­ti­fied as hav­ing passed the Ha­vona test; and this, so far as non­spir­i­tual sta­tus is con­cerned, grants them the same stand­ing in the uni­verses of time as if they had ac­tu­ally suc­ceeded in the De­ity ad­ven­ture. The spirit of such can­di­dates was wholly ac­cept­able; their fail­ure was in­her­ent in some phase of the tech­nique of ap­proach or in some part of their ex­pe­ri­en­tial back­ground.

26:10.4They are then taken by the coun­selors of the cir­cle be­fore the chiefs of as­sign­ment on Par­a­dise and are re­manded to the ser­vice of time on the worlds of space; and they go with joy and glad­ness to the tasks of for­mer days and ages. In an­other day they will re­turn to the cir­cle of their great­est dis­ap­point­ment and at­tempt anew the De­ity ad­ven­ture.

26:10.5For the suc­cess­ful pil­grims on the sec­ond cir­cuit the stim­u­lus of evo­lu­tion­ary un­cer­tainty is over, but the ad­ven­ture of the eter­nal as­sign­ment has not yet be­gun; and while the so­journ on this cir­cle is wholly plea­sur­able and highly prof­itable, it lacks some of the an­tic­i­pa­tive en­thu­si­asm of the for­mer cir­cles. Many are the pil­grims who, at such a time, look back upon the long, long strug­gle with a joy­ous envy, re­ally wish­ing they might some­how go back to the worlds of time and be­gin it all over again, just as you mor­tals, in ap­proach­ing ad­vanced age, some­times look back over the strug­gles of youth and early life and truly wish you might live your lives over once again.

26:10.6But the traver­sal of the in­ner­most cir­cle lies just ahead, and soon there­after the last tran­sit sleep will ter­mi­nate, and the new ad­ven­ture of the eter­nal ca­reer will be­gin.

26:11.1Much of an as­cender’s time on the last cir­cuit is de­voted to a con­tin­u­a­tion of the study of the im­pend­ing prob­lems of Par­a­dise res­i­dence. A vast and di­verse host of be­ings, the ma­jor­ity un­re­vealed, are per­ma­nent and tran­sient res­i­dents of this in­ner ring of Ha­vona worlds.

26:11.2Among those who dwell on this in­ner cir­cuit are the crea­ture-trin­i­tized sons. The pri­mary and the sec­ondary super­na­phim are the gen­eral cus­to­di­ans of the con­joint corps of these sons, in­clud­ing the trin­i­tized off­spring of the mor­tal fi­nal­i­ters and sim­i­lar progeny of the Par­a­dise Cit­i­zens. Cer­tain of these sons are Trin­ity em­braced and com­mis­sioned in the super­gov­ern­ments, oth­ers are var­i­ously as­signed, but the great ma­jor­ity are be­ing gath­ered to­gether in the con­joint corps on the per­fect worlds of the in­ner Ha­vona cir­cuit. Here, un­der the super­vi­sion of the super­na­phim, they are be­ing pre­pared for some fu­ture work by a spe­cial and un­named corps of high Par­a­dise Cit­i­zens who were, prior to the times of Grand­fanda, first ex­ec­u­tive as­sis­tants to the Eter­nals of Days. There are many rea­sons for con­jec­tur­ing that these two unique groups of trin­i­tized be­ings are go­ing to work to­gether in the re­mote fu­ture, not the least of which is their com­mon des­tiny in the re­serves of the Par­a­dise Corps of Trin­i­tized Fi­nal­i­ters.

26:11.3On this in­ner­most cir­cuit, both the as­cend­ing and the de­scend­ing pil­grims frat­er­nize with each other and with the crea­ture-trin­i­tized sons. Like their par­ents, these sons de­rive great ben­e­fits from in­teras­so­ci­a­tion, and it is the spe­cial mis­sion of the super­na­phim to fa­cil­i­tate and to in­sure the con­fra­ter­nity of the trin­i­tized sons of the mor­tal fi­nal­i­ters and the trin­i­tized sons of the Par­a­dise Cit­i­zens. The super­aphic com­ple­ments of rest are not so much con­cerned with their train­ing as with pro­mot­ing their un­der­stand­ing as­so­ci­a­tion with di­verse groups.

26:11.4Mor­tals have re­ceived the Par­a­dise com­mand: “Be you per­fect, even as your Par­a­dise Fa­ther is per­fect.” To these trin­i­tized sons of the con­joint corps the super­vis­ing super­na­phim never cease to pro­claim: “Be you un­der­stand­ing of your as­cen­dant breth­ren, even as the Par­a­dise Cre­ator Sons know and love them.”

26:11.5The mor­tal crea­ture must find God. The Cre­ator Son never stops un­til he finds man—the low­est will crea­ture. Be­yond doubt, the Cre­ator Sons and their mor­tal chil­dren are prepar­ing for some fu­ture and un­known uni­verse ser­vice. Both tra­verse the gamut of the ex­pe­ri­en­tial uni­verse and so are ed­u­cated and trained for their eter­nal mis­sion. Through­out the uni­verses there is oc­cur­ring this unique blend­ing of the hu­man and the di­vine, the com­min­gling of crea­ture and Cre­ator. Un­think­ing mor­tals have re­ferred to the man­i­fes­ta­tion of di­vine mercy and ten­der­ness, es­pe­cially to­wards the weak and in be­half of the needy, as in­dica­tive of an an­thro­po­mor­phic God. What a mis­take! Rather should such man­i­fes­ta­tions of mercy and for­bear­ance by hu­man be­ings be taken as ev­i­dence that mor­tal man is in­dwelt by the spirit of the liv­ing God; that the crea­ture is, af­ter all, di­vin­ity mo­ti­vated.

26:11.6Near the end of the first-cir­cle so­journ the as­cend­ing pil­grims first meet the in­sti­ga­tors of rest of the pri­mary or­der of super­na­phim. These are the an­gels of Par­a­dise com­ing out to greet those who stand at the thresh­old of eter­nity and to com­plete their prepa­ra­tion for the tran­si­tion slum­ber of the last res­ur­rec­tion. You are not re­ally a child of Par­a­dise un­til you have tra­versed the in­ner cir­cle and have ex­pe­ri­enced the res­ur­rec­tion of eter­nity from the ter­mi­nal sleep of time. The per­fected pil­grims be­gin this rest, go to sleep, on the first cir­cle of Ha­vona, but they awaken on the shores of Par­a­dise. Of all who as­cend to the eter­nal Isle, only those who thus ar­rive are the chil­dren of eter­nity; the oth­ers go as vis­i­tors, as guests with­out res­i­den­tial sta­tus.

26:11.7And now, at the cul­mi­na­tion of the Ha­vona ca­reer, as you mor­tals go to sleep on the pi­lot world of the in­ner cir­cuit, you go not alone to your rest as you did on the worlds of your ori­gin when you closed your eyes in the nat­u­ral sleep of mor­tal death, nor as you did when you en­tered the long tran­sit trance prepara­tory for the jour­ney to Ha­vona. Now, as you pre­pare for the at­tain­ment rest, there moves over by your side your long-time as­so­ciate of the first cir­cle, the ma­jes­tic com­ple­ment of rest, who pre­pares to en­ter the rest as one with you, as the pledge of Ha­vona that your tran­si­tion is com­plete, and that you await only the fi­nal touches of per­fec­tion.

26:11.8Your first tran­si­tion was in­deed death, the sec­ond an ideal sleep, and now the third meta­mor­pho­sis is the true rest, the re­lax­ation of the ages.

32:3.1The only cre­ation that is per­fectly set­tled is Ha­vona, the cen­tral uni­verse, which was made di­rectly by the thought of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther and the word of the Eter­nal Son. Ha­vona is an ex­is­ten­tial, per­fect, and re­plete uni­verse, sur­round­ing the home of the eter­nal De­i­ties, the cen­ter of all things. The cre­ations of the seven super­uni­verses are fi­nite, evo­lu­tion­ary, and con­sis­tently pro­gres­sive.

32:3.3Ex­cept in the cen­tral uni­verse, per­fec­tion is a pro­gres­sive at­tain­ment. In the cen­tral cre­ation we have a pat­tern of per­fec­tion, but all other realms must at­tain that per­fec­tion by the meth­ods es­tab­lished for the ad­vance­ment of those par­tic­u­lar worlds or uni­verses. And an al­most in­fi­nite va­ri­ety char­ac­ter­izes the plans of the Cre­ator Sons for or­ga­niz­ing, evolv­ing, dis­ci­plin­ing, and set­tling their re­spec­tive lo­cal uni­verses.

32:3.4With the ex­cep­tion of the de­ity pres­ence of the Fa­ther, ev­ery lo­cal uni­verse is, in a cer­tain sense, a du­pli­ca­tion of the ad­min­is­tra­tive or­ga­ni­za­tion of the cen­tral or pat­tern cre­ation. Al­though the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther is per­son­ally pres­ent in the res­i­den­tial uni­verse, he does not in­dwell the minds of the be­ings orig­i­nat­ing in that uni­verse as he does lit­er­ally dwell with the souls of the mor­tals of time and space. There seems to be an all-wise com­pen­sa­tion in the ad­just­ment and reg­u­la­tion of the spir­i­tual af­fairs of the far-flung cre­ation. In the cen­tral uni­verse the Fa­ther is per­son­ally pres­ent as such but ab­sent in the minds of the chil­dren of that per­fect cre­ation; in the uni­verses of space the Fa­ther is ab­sent in per­son, be­ing rep­re­sented by his Sov­er­eign Sons, while he is in­ti­mately pres­ent in the minds of his mor­tal chil­dren, be­ing spir­i­tu­ally rep­re­sented by the preper­sonal pres­ence of the Mys­tery Mon­i­tors that re­side in the minds of these will crea­tures.

32:3.14The di­vinely per­fect crea­ture and the evo­lu­tion­ary per­fected crea­ture are equal in de­gree of di­vin­ity po­ten­tial, but they dif­fer in kind. Each must de­pend on the other to at­tain su­prem­acy of ser­vice. The evo­lu­tion­ary super­uni­verses de­pend on per­fect Ha­vona to pro­vide the fi­nal train­ing for their as­cend­ing cit­i­zens, but so does the per­fect cen­tral uni­verse re­quire the ex­is­tence of the per­fect­ing super­uni­verses to pro­vide for the full de­vel­op­ment of its de­scend­ing in­hab­i­tants.

Even the ma­jor and mi­nor sec­tors of Or­von­ton are (to us) clearly dis­tin­guish­able, but it is not so easy to iden­tify the phys­i­cal bound­aries of the lo­cal uni­verses. This is be­cause these lo­cal cre­ations are ad­min­is­tra­tively or­ga­nized in ac­cor­dance with cer­tain cre­ative prin­ci­ples gov­ern­ing the seg­men­ta­tion of the to­tal en­ergy charge of a super­uni­verse, whereas their phys­i­cal com­po­nents, the spheres of space—suns, dark is­lands, plan­ets, etc.—take ori­gin pri­mar­ily from neb­u­lae, and these make their as­tro­nom­i­cal ap­pear­ance in ac­cor­dance with cer­tain precre­ative (tran­scen­den­tal) plans of the Ar­chi­tects of the Mas­ter Uni­verse.

But be­yond the cos­mic mind it be­comes in­creas­ingly dif­fi­cult to por­tray the re­la­tion­ships of mind to non­spir­i­tual en­ergy.

This cre­ative act of De­ity is by and through the God of Ac­tion, who is in essence the unity of the Fa­ther-Son man­i­fested on and to all lev­els of the ac­tual. There­fore is di­vine cre­ativ­ity un­fail­ingly char­ac­ter­ized by unity, and this unity is the out­ward re­flec­tion of the ab­so­lute one­ness of the du­al­ity of the Fa­ther-Son and of the Trin­ity of the Fa­ther-Son-Spirit.

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.

106:2.4This ex­pe­ri­en­tial power aris­ing out of the di­vin­ity achieve­ments of God the Sev­en­fold it­self man­i­fests the co­he­sive qual­i­ties of di­vin­ity by syn­the­siz­ing—to­tal­iz­ing—as the al­mighty power of the at­tained ex­pe­ri­en­tial mas­tery of the evolv­ing cre­ations. And this al­mighty power in turn finds spirit-per­son­al­ity co­he­sion on the pi­lot sphere of the outer belt of Ha­vona worlds in union with the spirit per­son­al­ity of the Ha­vona pres­ence of God the Su­preme. Thus does ex­pe­ri­en­tial De­ity cul­mi­nate the long evo­lu­tion­ary strug­gle by in­vest­ing the power prod­uct of time and space with the spirit pres­ence and di­vine per­son­al­ity res­i­dent in the cen­tral cre­ation.

115:3.14It is in the tri­odity of ac­tu­al­ity that the ex­is­tents of the cos­mos have their cen­ter; be it spirit, mind, or en­ergy, all cen­ter in this as­so­ci­a­tion of the Son, the Spirit, and Par­a­dise. The per­son­al­ity of the spirit Son is the mas­ter pat­tern for all per­son­al­ity through­out all uni­verses. The sub­stance of the Par­a­dise Isle is the mas­ter pat­tern of which Ha­vona is a per­fect, and the super­uni­verses are a per­fect­ing, rev­e­la­tion. The Con­joint Ac­tor is at one and the same time the mind ac­ti­va­tion of cos­mic en­ergy, the con­cep­tu­al­iza­tion of spirit pur­pose, and the in­te­gra­tion of the math­e­mat­i­cal causes and ef­fects of the ma­te­rial lev­els with the vo­li­tional pur­poses and mo­tives of the spir­i­tual level. In and to a fi­nite uni­verse the Son, Spirit, and Par­a­dise func­tion in and upon the Ul­ti­mate as he is con­di­tioned and qual­i­fied in the Su­preme.

116:0.3Ex­pe­ri­en­tial growth im­plies crea­ture-Cre­ator part­ner­ship—God and man in as­so­ci­a­tion. Growth is the ear­mark of ex­pe­ri­en­tial De­ity: Ha­vona did not grow; Ha­vona is and al­ways has been; it is ex­is­ten­tial like the ev­er­last­ing Gods who are its source. But growth char­ac­ter­izes the grand uni­verse.

116:0.5The Su­preme Be­ing func­tions pri­mar­ily in the cen­tral uni­verse as a spirit per­son­al­ity; sec­on­dar­ily in the grand uni­verse as God the Al­mighty, a per­son­al­ity of power. The ter­tiary func­tion of the Su­preme in the mas­ter uni­verse is now la­tent, ex­ist­ing only as an un­known mind po­ten­tial. No one knows just what this third de­vel­op­ment of the Su­preme Be­ing will dis­close. Some be­lieve that, when the super­uni­verses are set­tled in light and life, the Su­preme will be­come func­tional from Uversa as the al­mighty and ex­pe­ri­en­tial sov­er­eign of the grand uni­verse while ex­pand­ing in power as the super­al­mighty of the outer uni­verses. Oth­ers spec­u­late that the third stage of Su­prem­acy will in­volve the third level of De­ity man­i­fes­ta­tion. But none of us re­ally know.

116:6.7On Par­a­dise, monota and spirit are as one—in­dis­tin­guish­able ex­cept by name. In Ha­vona, mat­ter and spirit, while dis­tin­guish­ably dif­fer­ent, are at the same time in­nately har­mo­nious. In the seven super­uni­verses, how­ever, there is great di­ver­gence; there is a wide gulf be­tween cos­mic en­ergy and di­vine spirit; there­fore is there a greater ex­pe­ri­en­tial po­ten­tial for mind ac­tion in har­mo­niz­ing and even­tu­ally uni­fy­ing phys­i­cal pat­tern with spir­i­tual pur­poses. In the time-evolv­ing uni­verses of space there is greater di­vin­ity at­ten­u­a­tion, more dif­fi­cult prob­lems to be solved, and larger op­por­tu­nity to ac­quire ex­pe­ri­ence in their so­lu­tion. And this en­tire super­uni­verse sit­u­a­tion brings into be­ing a larger arena of evo­lu­tion­ary ex­is­tence in which the pos­si­bil­ity of cos­mic ex­pe­ri­ence is made avail­able alike to crea­ture and Cre­ator—even to Su­preme De­ity.

118:0.13Each suc­ces­sive uni­verse age is the an­techam­ber of the fol­low­ing era of cos­mic growth, and each uni­verse epoch pro­vides im­me­di­ate des­tiny for all pre­ced­ing stages. Ha­vona, in and of it­self, is a per­fect, but per­fec­tion-lim­ited, cre­ation; Ha­vona per­fec­tion, ex­pand­ing out into the evo­lu­tion­ary super­uni­verses, finds not only cos­mic des­tiny but also lib­er­a­tion from the lim­i­ta­tions of pre-evo­lu­tion­ary ex­is­tence.
