41:2.1While the Mas­ter Phys­i­cal Con­trol­lers serve with the power cen­ters through­out the grand uni­verse, their func­tions in a lo­cal sys­tem, such as Sa­ta­nia, are more easy of com­pre­hen­sion. Sa­ta­nia is one of one hun­dred lo­cal sys­tems which make up the ad­min­is­tra­tive or­ga­ni­za­tion of the con­stel­la­tion of Nor­la­ti­adek, hav­ing as im­me­di­ate neigh­bors the sys­tems of Sand­ma­tia, As­sun­tia, Poro­gia, Sor­to­ria, Rantu­lia, and Glan­to­nia. The Nor­la­ti­adek sys­tems dif­fer in many re­spects, but all are evo­lu­tion­ary and pro­gres­sive, very much like Sa­ta­nia.

41:2.4The cir­cuitiz­ing and chan­nel­iz­ing of en­ergy is super­vised by the five hun­dred thou­sand liv­ing and in­tel­li­gent en­ergy ma­nip­u­la­tors scat­tered through­out Sa­ta­nia. Through the ac­tion of such phys­i­cal con­trol­lers the super­vis­ing power cen­ters are in com­plete and per­fect con­trol of a ma­jor­ity of the ba­sic en­er­gies of space, in­clud­ing the em­a­na­tions of highly heated orbs and the dark en­ergy-charged spheres. This group of liv­ing en­ti­ties can mo­bi­lize, trans­form, trans­mute, ma­nip­u­late, and trans­mit nearly all of the phys­i­cal en­er­gies of or­ga­nized space.

• Jerusem headquarters

15:7.5Je­ru­sem, the head­quar­ters of your lo­cal sys­tem of Sa­ta­nia, has its seven worlds of tran­si­tion cul­ture, each of which is en­cir­cled by seven satel­lites, among which are the seven man­sion worlds of mor­ontia de­ten­tion, man’s first post­mor­tal res­i­dence. As the term heaven has been used on Uran­tia, it has some­times meant these seven man­sion worlds, the first man­sion world be­ing de­nom­i­nated the first heaven, and so on to the sev­enth.

15:14.6Sa­ta­nia has a head­quar­ters world called Je­ru­sem, and it is sys­tem num­ber twenty-four in the con­stel­la­tion of Nor­la­ti­adek. Your con­stel­la­tion, Nor­la­ti­adek, con­sists of one hun­dred lo­cal sys­tems and has a head­quar­ters world called Eden­tia. Nor­la­ti­adek is num­ber sev­enty in the uni­verse of Neb­a­don. The lo­cal uni­verse of Neb­a­don con­sists of one hun­dred con­stel­la­tions and has a cap­i­tal known as Sal­ving­ton.

• Ancients of Days sustained Most Highs in seizure of S. government

43:3.7The Eden­tia Most Highs seized cer­tain phases of plan­e­tary au­thor­ity on the re­bel­lious worlds at the time of the Lu­cifer se­ces­sion. They have con­tin­ued to ex­er­cise this power, and the An­cients of Days long since con­firmed this as­sump­tion of con­trol over these way­ward worlds. They will no doubt con­tinue to ex­er­cise this as­sumed ju­ris­dic­tion as long as Lu­cifer lives. Much of this au­thor­ity would or­di­nar­ily, in a loyal sys­tem, be in­vested in the Sys­tem Sov­er­eign.

• no changes in technique as result of rebellion

45:2.2In Sa­ta­nia, even af­ter this dis­as­trous up­heaval, ab­so­lutely no changes have been made in the tech­nique of sys­tem ad­min­is­tra­tion. The pres­ent Sys­tem Sov­er­eign pos­sesses all the power and ex­er­cises all the au­thor­ity that were in­vested in his un­wor­thy pre­de­ces­sor ex­cept for cer­tain mat­ters now un­der the super­vi­sion of the Con­stel­la­tion Fa­thers which the An­cients of Days have not yet fully re­stored to Lanaforge, the suc­ces­sor of Lu­cifer.

45:3.1The chief ex­ec­u­tive of a lo­cal sys­tem, the Sys­tem Sov­er­eign, is al­ways sup­ported by two or three La­non­an­dek Sons, who func­tion as first and sec­ond as­sis­tants. But at the pres­ent time the sys­tem of Sa­ta­nia is ad­min­is­tered by a staff of seven La­non­an­deks:

• Ancients of Days sustained Most Highs in seizure of S. government

53:7.14While Lu­cifer was de­prived of all ad­min­is­tra­tive au­thor­ity in Sa­ta­nia, there then ex­isted no lo­cal uni­verse power nor tri­bu­nal which could de­tain or de­stroy this wicked rebel; at that time Mi­chael was not a sov­er­eign ruler. The An­cients of Days sus­tained the Con­stel­la­tion Fa­thers in their seizure of the sys­tem gov­ern­ment, but they have never handed down any sub­se­quent de­ci­sions in the many ap­peals still pend­ing with re­gard to the pres­ent sta­tus and fu­ture dis­po­si­tion of Lu­cifer, Sa­tan, and their as­so­ciates.

• no worlds lost to rebellion since original 37

53:7.15Thus were these arch­re­bels al­lowed to roam the en­tire sys­tem to seek fur­ther pen­e­tra­tion for their doc­trines of dis­con­tent and self-as­ser­tion. But in al­most two hun­dred thou­sand Uran­tia years they have been un­able to de­ceive an­other world. No Sa­ta­nia worlds have been lost since the fall of the thirty-seven, not even those younger worlds peo­pled since that day of re­bel­lion.

• Lanaforge is System Sovereign

93:3.2Mel­chiz­e­dek taught the con­cept of one God, a uni­ver­sal De­ity, but he al­lowed the peo­ple to as­so­ciate this teach­ing with the Con­stel­la­tion Fa­ther of Nor­la­ti­adek, whom he termed El Elyon—the Most High. Mel­chiz­e­dek re­mained all but silent as to the sta­tus of Lu­cifer and the state of af­fairs on Je­ru­sem. Lanaforge, the Sys­tem Sov­er­eign, had lit­tle to do with Uran­tia un­til af­ter the com­ple­tion of Mi­chael’s be­stowal. To a ma­jor­ity of the Salem stu­dents Eden­tia was heaven and the Most High was God.

50:6.5You should not for­get that for two hun­dred thou­sand years all the worlds of Sa­ta­nia have rested un­der the spir­i­tual ban of Nor­la­ti­adek in con­se­quence of the Lu­cifer re­bel­lion. And it will re­quire age upon age to re­trieve the re­sul­tant hand­i­caps of sin and se­ces­sion. Your world still con­tin­ues to pur­sue an ir­reg­u­lar and check­ered ca­reer as a re­sult of the dou­ble tragedy of a re­bel­lious Plan­e­tary Prince and a de­fault­ing Ma­te­rial Son. Even the be­stowal of Christ Mi­chael on Uran­tia did not im­me­di­ately set aside the tem­po­ral con­se­quences of these se­ri­ous blun­ders in the ear­lier ad­min­is­tra­tion of the world.

15:14.5Your world is called Uran­tia, and it is num­ber 606 in the plan­e­tary group, or sys­tem, of Sa­ta­nia. This sys­tem has at pres­ent 619 in­hab­ited worlds, and more than two hun­dred ad­di­tional plan­ets are evolv­ing fa­vor­ably to­ward be­com­ing in­hab­ited worlds at some fu­ture time.

Only five have more than two in­hab­ited worlds, and of these only one has four peo­pled plan­ets, while there are forty-six hav­ing two in­hab­ited worlds.

Sa­ta­nia is on the pe­riph­ery of the lo­cal uni­verse, and Neb­a­don is now well out to­wards the edge of Or­von­ton.

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.

The Uni­verse Power Di­rec­tors ini­ti­ate the spe­cial­ized cur­rents of en­ergy which play be­tween the in­di­vid­ual stars and their re­spec­tive sys­tems.

Je­ru­sem, the sys­tem cap­i­tal, is al­most one hun­dred times the size of Uran­tia, al­though its grav­ity is a tri­fle less. Je­ru­sem’s ma­jor satel­lites are the seven tran­si­tion worlds, each of which is about ten times as large as Uran­tia, while the seven sub­satel­lites of these tran­si­tion spheres are just about the size of Uran­tia.

Such plan­ets are num­bered se­ri­ally in ac­cor­dance with their reg­is­tra­tion as in­hab­ited worlds, as worlds in­hab­ited by will crea­tures.

But about one world in ten is des­ig­nated as a dec­i­mal planet and as­signed to the spe­cial reg­istry of the Life Car­ri­ers; and on such plan­ets we are per­mit­ted to un­der­take cer­tain life ex­per­i­ments in an ef­fort to mod­ify or pos­si­bly im­prove the stan­dard uni­verse types of liv­ing be­ings.

45:3.22This coun­cil pe­ri­od­i­cally chooses three mem­bers to rep­re­sent the lo­cal sys­tem on the su­preme coun­cil at uni­verse head­quar­ters, but this rep­re­sen­ta­tion is sus­pended by re­bel­lion. Sa­ta­nia now has an ob­server at the head­quar­ters of the lo­cal uni­verse, but since the be­stowal of Mi­chael the sys­tem has re­sumed the elec­tion of ten mem­bers to the Eden­tia leg­is­la­ture.

67:3.1The out­break of re­bel­lion on Je­ru­sem, the cap­i­tal of Sa­ta­nia, was broad­cast by the Mel­chiz­e­dek coun­cil. The emer­gency Mel­chiz­e­deks were im­me­di­ately dis­patched to Je­ru­sem, and Ga­briel vol­un­teered to act as the rep­re­sen­ta­tive of the Cre­ator Son, whose au­thor­ity had been chal­lenged. With this broad­cast of the fact of re­bel­lion in Sa­ta­nia the sys­tem was iso­lated, quar­an­tined, from her sis­ter sys­tems. There was “war in heaven,” the head­quar­ters of Sa­ta­nia, and it spread to ev­ery planet in the lo­cal sys­tem.

48:3.13You will not ac­quire new lan­guages au­to­mat­i­cally; you will learn a lan­guage over there much as you do down here, and these bril­liant be­ings will be your lan­guage teach­ers. The first study on the man­sion worlds will be the tongue of Sa­ta­nia and then the lan­guage of Neb­a­don. And while you are mas­ter­ing these new tongues, the Mor­ontia Com­pan­ions will be your ef­fi­cient in­ter­preters and pa­tient trans­la­tors. You will never en­counter a vis­i­tor on any of these worlds but that some one of the Mor­ontia Com­pan­ions will be able to of­fi­ci­ate as in­ter­preter.

53:7.13With the ar­rival of Lanaforge the arch­re­bels were de­throned and shorn of all gov­ern­ing pow­ers, though they were per­mit­ted freely to go about Je­ru­sem, the mor­ontia spheres, and even to the in­di­vid­ual in­hab­ited worlds. They con­tin­ued their de­cep­tive and se­duc­tive ef­forts to con­fuse and mis­lead the minds of men and an­gels. But as con­cerned their work on the ad­min­is­tra­tive mount of Je­ru­sem, “their place was found no more.”

53:8.1Lu­cifer and Sa­tan freely roamed the Sa­ta­nia sys­tem un­til the com­ple­tion of the be­stowal mis­sion of Mi­chael on Uran­tia. They were last on your world to­gether dur­ing the time of their com­bined as­sault upon the Son of Man.

72:0.1By per­mis­sion of Lanaforge and with the ap­proval of the Most Highs of Eden­tia, I am au­tho­rized to nar­rate some­thing of the so­cial, moral, and po­lit­i­cal life of the most ad­vanced hu­man race liv­ing on a not far-dis­tant planet be­long­ing to the Sa­ta­nia sys­tem.

45:1.10The seven satel­lites sur­round­ing the Fa­ther’s world are var­i­ously uti­lized in the dif­fer­ent sys­tems. In Sa­ta­nia they are now used as the de­ten­tion spheres for the in­terned groups of the Lu­cifer re­bel­lion. The con­stel­la­tion cap­i­tal, Eden­tia, has no anal­o­gous prison worlds; the few ser­a­phim and cheru­bim who went over to the rebels in the Sa­ta­nia re­bel­lion have been long since con­fined on these iso­la­tion worlds of Je­ru­sem.

45:1.11As a so­journer on the sev­enth man­sion world, you have ac­cess to the sev­enth tran­si­tion world, the sphere of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther, and are also per­mit­ted to visit the Sa­ta­nia prison worlds sur­round­ing this planet, whereon are now con­fined Lu­cifer and the ma­jor­ity of those per­son­al­i­ties who fol­lowed him in re­bel­lion against Mi­chael. And this sad spec­ta­cle has been ob­serv­able dur­ing these re­cent ages and will con­tinue to serve as a solemn warn­ing to all Neb­a­don un­til the An­cients of Days shall ad­ju­di­cate the sin of Lu­cifer and his fallen as­so­ciates who re­jected the sal­va­tion prof­fered by Mi­chael, their uni­verse Fa­ther.

46:8.1The purely lo­cal and rou­tine af­fairs of Je­ru­sem are di­rected from the one hun­dred tri­an­gles. These units are clus­tered around the ten mar­velous struc­tures domi­cil­ing the lo­cal ad­min­is­tra­tion of Je­ru­sem. The tri­an­gles are sur­rounded by the panoramic de­pic­tion of the sys­tem head­quar­ters his­tory. At pres­ent there is an era­sure of over two stan­dard miles in this cir­cu­lar story. This sec­tor will be re­stored upon the read­mis­sion of Sa­ta­nia into the con­stel­la­tion fam­ily. Ev­ery pro­vi­sion for this event has been made by the de­crees of Mi­chael, but the tri­bu­nal of the An­cients of Days has not yet fin­ished the ad­ju­di­ca­tion of the af­fairs of the Lu­cifer re­bel­lion. Sa­ta­nia may not come back into the full fel­low­ship of Nor­la­ti­adek so long as it har­bors arch­re­bels, high cre­ated be­ings who have fallen from light into dark­ness.

33:6.9The day in Sa­ta­nia, as reck­oned on Je­ru­sem, is a lit­tle less (1 hour, 4 min­utes, 15 sec­onds) than three days of Uran­tia time. These times are gen­er­ally known as Sal­ving­ton or uni­verse time, and Sa­ta­nia or sys­tem time. Stan­dard time is uni­verse time.

15:14.8The grand uni­verse num­ber of your world, Uran­tia, is 5,342,482,337,666. That is the reg­istry num­ber on Uversa and on Par­a­dise, your num­ber in the cat­a­logue of the in­hab­ited worlds. I know the phys­i­cal-sphere reg­istry num­ber, but it is of such an ex­traor­di­nary size that it is of lit­tle prac­ti­cal sig­nif­i­cance to the mor­tal mind.

32:3.10The fact of an­i­mal evo­lu­tion­ary ori­gin does not at­tach stigma to any per­son­al­ity in the sight of the uni­verse as that is the ex­clu­sive method of pro­duc­ing one of the two ba­sic types of fi­nite in­tel­li­gent will crea­tures. When the heights of per­fec­tion and eter­nity are at­tained, all the more honor to those who be­gan at the bot­tom and joy­fully climbed the lad­der of life, round by round, and who, when they do reach the heights of glory, will have gained a per­sonal ex­pe­ri­ence which em­bod­ies an ac­tual knowl­edge of ev­ery phase of life from the bot­tom to the top.

43:0.1Uran­tia is com­monly re­ferred to as 606 of Sa­ta­nia in Nor­la­ti­adek of Neb­a­don, mean­ing the six hun­dred sixth in­hab­ited world in the lo­cal sys­tem of Sa­ta­nia, sit­u­ated in the con­stel­la­tion of Nor­la­ti­adek, one of the one hun­dred con­stel­la­tions of the lo­cal uni­verse of Neb­a­don. Con­stel­la­tions be­ing the pri­mary di­vi­sions of a lo­cal uni­verse, their rulers link the lo­cal sys­tems of in­hab­ited worlds to the cen­tral ad­min­is­tra­tion of the lo­cal uni­verse on Sal­ving­ton and by re­flec­tiv­ity to the super­ad­min­is­tra­tion of the An­cients of Days on Uversa.

This was to be our six hun­dred and sixth ex­pe­ri­ence with the ini­ti­a­tion of the Neb­a­don life pat­terns in Sa­ta­nia and our six­ti­eth op­por­tu­nity to make changes and in­sti­tute mod­i­fi­ca­tions in the ba­sic and stan­dard life de­signs of the lo­cal uni­verse.

93:10.1Dur­ing the years of Ma­chi­venta’s in­car­na­tion the Uran­tia Mel­chiz­e­dek re­ceivers func­tioned as eleven. When Ma­chi­venta con­sid­ered that his mis­sion as an emer­gency Son was fin­ished, he sig­nal­ized this fact to his eleven as­so­ciates, and they im­me­di­ately made ready the tech­nique whereby he was to be re­leased from the flesh and safely re­stored to his orig­i­nal Mel­chiz­e­dek sta­tus. And on the third day af­ter his dis­ap­pear­ance from Salem he ap­peared among his eleven fel­lows of the Uran­tia as­sign­ment and re­sumed his in­ter­rupted ca­reer as one of the plan­e­tary re­ceivers of 606 of Sa­ta­nia.
