29:2.164. Lo­cal Uni­verse Cen­ters. On the head­quar­ters of each lo­cal uni­verse are sta­tioned one hun­dred power cen­ters of the fourth or­der. They func­tion to down­step and oth­er­wise to mod­ify the seven power cir­cuits em­a­nat­ing from super­uni­verse head­quar­ters, thus mak­ing them ap­pli­ca­ble to the ser­vices of the con­stel­la­tions and sys­tems. The lo­cal as­tro­nom­i­cal catas­tro­phes of space are of pass­ing con­cern to these power cen­ters; they are en­gaged in the or­derly dis­patch of ef­fec­tive en­ergy to the sub­sidiary con­stel­la­tions and sys­tems. They are of great as­sis­tance to the Cre­ator Sons dur­ing the later times of uni­verse or­ga­ni­za­tion and en­ergy mo­bi­liza­tion. These cen­ters are able to pro­vide in­ten­si­fied lanes of en­ergy use­ful for in­ter­plan­e­tary com­mu­ni­ca­tion be­tween im­por­tant in­hab­ited points. Such a lane or line of en­ergy, some­times also called an en­ergy path, is a di­rect cir­cuit of en­ergy from one power cen­ter to an­other power cen­ter or from one phys­i­cal con­trol­ler to an­other con­trol­ler. It is an in­di­vid­u­al­ized stream of power and stands in con­trast to the free space move­ments of un­dif­fer­en­ti­ated en­ergy.

41:1.2One hun­dred Su­preme Power Cen­ters of the fourth or­der are per­ma­nently as­signed to our lo­cal uni­verse. These be­ings re­ceive the in­com­ing lines of power from the third-or­der cen­ters of Uversa and re­lay the down-stepped and mod­i­fied cir­cuits to the power cen­ters of our con­stel­la­tions and sys­tems. These power cen­ters, in as­so­ci­a­tion, func­tion to pro­duce the liv­ing sys­tem of con­trol and equal­iza­tion which op­er­ates to main­tain the bal­ance and dis­tri­bu­tion of oth­er­wise fluc­tu­at­ing and vari­able en­er­gies. Power cen­ters are not, how­ever, con­cerned with tran­sient and lo­cal en­ergy up­heavals, such as sun spots and sys­tem elec­tric dis­tur­bances; light and elec­tric­ity are not the ba­sic en­er­gies of space; they are sec­ondary and sub­sidiary man­i­fes­ta­tions.

32:2.2These power di­rec­tors and en­ergy con­trol­lers who long pre­ceded the Cre­ator Son in the pre­lim­i­nary phys­i­cal work of uni­verse or­ga­ni­za­tion later serve in mag­nif­i­cent li­ai­son with this Uni­verse Son, for­ever re­main­ing in as­so­ci­ated con­trol of those en­er­gies which they orig­i­nally or­ga­nized and cir­cuitized. On Sal­ving­ton there now func­tion the same one hun­dred power cen­ters who co-op­er­ated with your Cre­ator Son in the orig­i­nal for­ma­tion of this lo­cal uni­verse.

41:1.1The spi­ral and other neb­u­lae, the mother wheels of the spheres of space, are ini­ti­ated by Par­a­dise force or­ga­niz­ers; and fol­low­ing neb­u­lar evo­lu­tion of grav­ity re­sponse, they are su­per­seded in super­uni­verse func­tion by the power cen­ters and phys­i­cal con­trol­lers, who there­upon as­sume full re­spon­si­bil­ity for di­rect­ing the phys­i­cal evo­lu­tion of the en­su­ing gen­er­a­tions of stel­lar and plan­e­tary off­spring. This phys­i­cal super­vi­sion of the Neb­a­don pre­uni­verse was, upon the ar­rival of our Cre­ator Son, im­me­di­ately co-or­di­nated with his plan for uni­verse or­ga­ni­za­tion. Within the do­main of this Par­a­dise Son of God, the Su­preme Power Cen­ters and the Mas­ter Phys­i­cal Con­trol­lers col­lab­o­rated with the later ap­pear­ing Mor­ontia Power Super­vi­sors and oth­ers to pro­duce that vast com­plex of com­mu­ni­ca­tion lines, en­ergy cir­cuits, and power lanes which firmly bind the man­i­fold space bod­ies of Neb­a­don into one in­te­grated ad­min­is­tra­tive unit.

41:1.3The one hun­dred lo­cal uni­verse cen­ters are sta­tioned on Sal­ving­ton, where they func­tion at the ex­act en­ergy cen­ter of that sphere. Ar­chi­tec­tural spheres, such as Sal­ving­ton, Eden­tia, and Je­ru­sem, are lighted, heated, and en­er­gized by meth­ods which make them quite in­de­pen­dent of the suns of space. These spheres were con­structed—made to or­der—by the power cen­ters and phys­i­cal con­trol­lers and were de­signed to ex­ert a pow­er­ful in­flu­ence over en­ergy dis­tri­bu­tion. Bas­ing their ac­tiv­i­ties on such fo­cal points of en­ergy con­trol, the power cen­ters, by their liv­ing pres­ences, di­rec­tion­ize and chan­nel­ize the phys­i­cal en­er­gies of space. And these en­ergy cir­cuits are ba­sic to all phys­i­cal-ma­te­rial and mor­ontia-spir­i­tual phe­nom­ena.

41:1.4Ten Su­preme Power Cen­ters of the fifth or­der are as­signed to each of Neb­a­don’s pri­mary sub­di­vi­sions, the one hun­dred con­stel­la­tions. In Nor­la­ti­adek, your con­stel­la­tion, they are not sta­tioned on the head­quar­ters sphere but are sit­u­ated at the cen­ter of the enor­mous stel­lar sys­tem which con­sti­tutes the phys­i­cal core of the con­stel­la­tion. On Eden­tia there are ten as­so­ci­ated me­chan­i­cal con­trol­lers and ten fran­dalanks who are in per­fect and con­stant li­ai­son with the near-by power cen­ters.

41:1.5One Su­preme Power Cen­ter of the sixth or­der is sta­tioned at the ex­act grav­ity fo­cus of each lo­cal sys­tem. In the sys­tem of Sa­ta­nia the as­signed power cen­ter oc­cu­pies a dark is­land of space lo­cated at the as­tro­nomic cen­ter of the sys­tem. Many of these dark is­lands are vast dy­namos which mo­bi­lize and di­rec­tion­ize cer­tain space-en­er­gies, and these nat­u­ral cir­cum­stances are ef­fec­tively uti­lized by the Sa­ta­nia Power Cen­ter, whose liv­ing mass func­tions as a li­ai­son with the higher cen­ters, di­rect­ing the streams of more ma­te­ri­al­ized power to the Mas­ter Phys­i­cal Con­trol­lers on the evo­lu­tion­ary plan­ets of space.

29:3.3These power cen­ters and di­rec­tors are brought into be­ing by the chil­dren of the In­fi­nite Spirit. They are not ger­mane to the ad­min­is­tra­tion of the Sons of God, though they af­fil­i­ate with the Cre­ator Sons dur­ing the later epochs of uni­verse ma­te­rial or­ga­ni­za­tion. But the power cen­ters are in some way closely as­so­ci­ated with the cos­mic over­con­trol of the Su­preme Be­ing.
