squares (Jerusem)

46:4.1Con­sid­er­able por­tions of Je­ru­sem are as­signed as res­i­den­tial ar­eas, while other por­tions of the sys­tem cap­i­tal are given over to the nec­es­sary ad­min­is­tra­tive func­tions in­volv­ing the super­vi­sion of the af­fairs of 619 in­hab­ited spheres, 56 tran­si­tional-cul­ture worlds, and the sys­tem cap­i­tal it­self. On Je­ru­sem and in Neb­a­don these ar­range­ments are de­signed as fol­lows:

46:4.21. The cir­cles—the non­na­tive res­i­den­tial ar­eas.

46:4.32. The squares—the sys­tem ex­ec­u­tive-ad­min­is­tra­tive ar­eas.

46:4.43. The rect­an­gles—the ren­dezvous of the lower na­tive life.

46:4.54. The tri­an­gles—the lo­cal or Je­ru­sem ad­min­is­tra­tive ar­eas.

46:4.6This ar­range­ment of the sys­tem ac­tiv­i­ties into cir­cles, squares, rect­an­gles, and tri­an­gles is com­mon to all the sys­tem cap­i­tals of Neb­a­don. In an­other uni­verse an en­tirely dif­fer­ent ar­range­ment might pre­vail. These are mat­ters de­ter­mined by the di­verse plans of the Cre­ator Sons.

46:4.7Our nar­ra­tive of these res­i­den­tial and ad­min­is­tra­tive ar­eas takes no ac­count of the vast and beau­ti­ful es­tates of the Ma­te­rial Sons of God, the per­ma­nent cit­i­zens of Je­ru­sem, nei­ther do we men­tion nu­mer­ous other fas­ci­nat­ing or­ders of spirit and near-spirit crea­tures. For ex­am­ple: Je­ru­sem en­joys the ef­fi­cient ser­vices of the spironga of de­sign for sys­tem func­tion. These be­ings are de­voted to spir­i­tual min­istry in be­half of the super­ma­te­rial res­i­dents and vis­i­tors. They are a won­der­ful group of in­tel­li­gent and beau­ti­ful be­ings who are the tran­si­tion ser­vants of the higher mor­ontia crea­tures and of the mor­ontia helpers who la­bor for the up­keep and em­bel­lish­ment of all mor­ontia cre­ations. They are on Je­ru­sem what the mid­way crea­tures are on Uran­tia, mid­way helpers func­tion­ing be­tween the ma­te­rial and the spir­i­tual.

46:4.8The sys­tem cap­i­tals are unique in that they are the only worlds which ex­hibit well-nigh per­fectly all three phases of uni­verse ex­is­tence: the ma­te­rial, the mor­ontial, and the spir­i­tual. Whether you are a ma­te­rial, mor­ontia, or spirit per­son­al­ity, you will feel at home on Je­ru­sem; so also do the com­bined be­ings, such as the mid­way crea­tures and the Ma­te­rial Sons.

46:4.9Je­ru­sem has great build­ings of both ma­te­rial and mor­ontia types, while the em­bel­lish­ment of the purely spir­i­tual zones is no less ex­qui­site and re­plete. If I only had words to tell you of the mor­ontia coun­ter­parts of the mar­velous phys­i­cal equip­ment of Je­ru­sem! If I could only go on to por­tray the sub­lime grandeur and ex­qui­site per­fec­tion of the spir­i­tual ap­point­ments of this head­quar­ters world! Your most imag­i­na­tive con­cept of per­fec­tion of beauty and re­plete­ness of ap­point­ment would hardly ap­proach these grandeurs. And Je­ru­sem is but the first step on the way to the su­per­nal per­fec­tion of Par­a­dise beauty.
