Uversa

• capital of Orvonton, our superuniverse

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.

12:2.4The Uversa star stu­dents ob­serve that the grand uni­verse is sur­rounded by the an­ces­tors of a se­ries of starry and plan­e­tary clus­ters which com­pletely en­cir­cle the pres­ent in­hab­ited cre­ation as con­cen­tric rings of outer uni­verses upon uni­verses. The physi­cists of Uversa cal­cu­late that the en­ergy and mat­ter of these outer and un­charted re­gions al­ready equal many times the to­tal ma­te­rial mass and en­ergy charge em­braced in all seven super­uni­verses. We are in­formed that the meta­mor­pho­sis of cos­mic force in these outer space lev­els is a func­tion of the Par­a­dise force or­ga­niz­ers. We also know that these forces are an­ces­tral to those phys­i­cal en­er­gies which at pres­ent ac­ti­vate the grand uni­verse. The Or­von­ton power di­rec­tors, how­ever, have noth­ing to do with these far-dis­tant realms, nei­ther are the en­ergy move­ments therein dis­cernibly con­nected with the power cir­cuits of the or­ga­nized and in­hab­ited cre­ations.

• location › near center of its space segment

15:7.1While each super­uni­verse gov­ern­ment pre­sides near the cen­ter of the evo­lu­tion­ary uni­verses of its space seg­ment, it oc­cu­pies a world made to or­der and is peo­pled by ac­cred­ited per­son­al­i­ties. These head­quar­ters worlds are ar­chi­tec­tural spheres, space bod­ies specif­i­cally con­structed for their spe­cial pur­pose. While shar­ing the light of near-by suns, these spheres are in­de­pen­dently lighted and heated. Each has a sun which gives forth light with­out heat, like the satel­lites of Par­a­dise, while each is sup­plied with heat by the cir­cu­la­tion of cer­tain en­ergy cur­rents near the sur­face of the sphere. These head­quar­ters worlds be­long to one of the greater sys­tems sit­u­ated near the as­tro­nom­i­cal cen­ter of their re­spec­tive super­uni­verses.

• day is 30 Urantia days; year is 3000 Urantia days

15:7.2Time is stan­dard­ized on the head­quar­ters of the super­uni­verses. The stan­dard day of the super­uni­verse of Or­von­ton is equal to al­most thirty days of Uran­tia time, and the Or­von­ton year equals one hun­dred stan­dard days. This Uversa year is stan­dard in the sev­enth super­uni­verse, and it is twenty-two min­utes short of three thou­sand days of Uran­tia time, about eight and one fifth of your years.

15:7.10Uversa, the head­quar­ters of Or­von­ton, your super­uni­verse, is im­me­di­ately sur­rounded by the seven higher uni­ver­si­ties of ad­vanced spir­i­tual train­ing for as­cend­ing will crea­tures. Each of these seven clus­ters of won­der spheres con­sists of sev­enty spe­cial­ized worlds con­tain­ing thou­sands upon thou­sands of re­plete in­sti­tu­tions and or­ga­ni­za­tions de­voted to uni­verse train­ing and spirit cul­ture wherein the pil­grims of time are re-ed­u­cated and re-ex­am­ined prepara­tory to their long flight to Ha­vona. The ar­riv­ing pil­grims of time are al­ways re­ceived on these as­so­ci­ated worlds, but the de­part­ing grad­u­ates are al­ways dis­patched for Ha­vona di­rect from the shores of Uversa.

• administrative center for 1 trillion inhabitable worlds

15:7.11Uversa is the spir­i­tual and ad­min­is­tra­tive head­quar­ters for ap­prox­i­mately one tril­lion in­hab­ited or in­hab­it­able worlds. The glory, grandeur, and per­fec­tion of the Or­von­ton cap­i­tal sur­pass any of the won­ders of the time-space cre­ations.

15:8.1The head­quar­ters spheres of the super­uni­verses are so con­structed that they are able to func­tion as ef­fi­cient power-en­ergy reg­u­la­tors for their var­i­ous sec­tors, serv­ing as fo­cal points for the di­rec­tion­iza­tion of en­ergy to their com­po­nent lo­cal uni­verses. They ex­ert a pow­er­ful in­flu­ence over the bal­ance and con­trol of the phys­i­cal en­er­gies cir­cu­lat­ing through or­ga­nized space.

15:14.3It is, how­ever, very dif­fi­cult to de­scribe our con­cep­tion of the true na­ture of the evo­lu­tion­ary pur­pose which is un­fold­ing in Or­von­ton, but it may be sug­gested by say­ing that in this super­cre­ation we feel that the six unique pur­poses of cos­mic evo­lu­tion as man­i­fested in the six as­so­ci­ated super­cre­ations are here be­ing in­teras­so­ci­ated into a mean­ing-of-the-whole; and it is for this rea­son that we have some­times con­jec­tured that the evolved and fin­ished per­son­al­iza­tion of God the Su­preme will in the re­mote fu­ture and from Uversa rule the per­fected seven super­uni­verses in all the ex­pe­ri­en­tial majesty of his then at­tained al­mighty sov­er­eign power.

18:3.1When mor­tals of time grad­u­ate from the train­ing worlds sur­round­ing the head­quar­ters of a lo­cal uni­verse and are ad­vanced to the ed­u­ca­tional spheres of their super­uni­verse, they have pro­gressed in spir­i­tual de­vel­op­ment to that point where they are able to rec­og­nize and com­mu­ni­cate with the high spir­i­tual rulers and di­rec­tors of these ad­vanced realms, in­clud­ing the An­cients of Days.

18:3.2The An­cients of Days are all ba­si­cally iden­ti­cal; they dis­close the com­bined char­ac­ter and uni­fied na­ture of the Trin­ity. They pos­sess in­di­vid­u­al­ity and are in per­son­al­ity di­verse, but they do not dif­fer from each other as do the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its. They pro­vide the uni­form di­rec­tor­ship of the oth­er­wise dif­fer­ing seven super­uni­verses, each of which is a dis­tinct, seg­re­gated, and unique cre­ation. The Seven Mas­ter Spir­its are un­like in na­ture and at­tri­butes, but the An­cients of Days, the per­sonal rulers of the super­uni­verses, are all uni­form and super­per­fect off­spring of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity.

18:3.3The Seven Mas­ter Spir­its on high de­ter­mine the na­ture of their re­spec­tive super­uni­verses, but the An­cients of Days dic­tate the ad­min­is­tra­tion of these same super­uni­verses. They super­im­pose ad­min­is­tra­tive uni­for­mity on cre­ative di­ver­sity and in­sure the har­mony of the whole in the face of the un­der­ly­ing cre­ational dif­fer­ences of the seven seg­men­tal group­ings of the grand uni­verse.

18:3.4The An­cients of Days were all trin­i­tized at the same time. They rep­re­sent the be­gin­ning of the per­son­al­ity rec­ords of the uni­verse of uni­verses, hence their name—An­cients of Days. When you reach Par­a­dise and search the writ­ten rec­ords of the be­gin­ning of things, you will find that the first en­try ap­pear­ing in the per­son­al­ity sec­tion is the recital of the trin­i­ti­za­tion of these twenty-one An­cients of Days.

18:3.5These high be­ings al­ways gov­ern in groups of three. There are many phases of ac­tiv­ity in which they work as in­di­vid­u­als, still oth­ers in which any two can func­tion, but in the higher spheres of their ad­min­is­tra­tion they must act jointly. They never per­son­ally leave their res­i­den­tial worlds, but then they do not have to, for these worlds are the super­uni­verse fo­cal points of the far-flung re­flec­tiv­ity sys­tem.

• Ancients of Days occupy point of spiritual polarity

18:3.6The per­sonal abodes of each trio of the An­cients of Days are lo­cated at the point of spir­i­tual po­lar­ity on their head­quar­ters sphere. Such a sphere is di­vided into sev­enty ad­min­is­tra­tive sec­tors and has sev­enty di­vi­sional cap­i­tals in which the An­cients of Days re­side from time to time.

18:3.7In power, scope of au­thor­ity, and ex­tent of ju­ris­dic­tion the An­cients of Days are the most pow­er­ful and mighty of any of the di­rect rulers of the time-space cre­ations. In all the vast uni­verse of uni­verses they alone are in­vested with the high pow­ers of fi­nal ex­ec­u­tive judg­ment con­cern­ing the eter­nal ex­tinc­tion of will crea­tures. And all three An­cients of Days must par­tic­i­pate in the fi­nal de­crees of the su­preme tri­bu­nal of a super­uni­verse.

18:3.8Aside from the De­i­ties and their Par­a­dise as­so­ciates, the An­cients of Days are the most per­fect, most ver­sa­tile, and the most di­vinely en­dowed rulers in all time-space ex­is­tence. Ap­par­ently they are the su­preme rulers of the super­uni­verses; but they have not ex­pe­ri­en­tially earned this right to rule and are there­fore des­tined some­time to be su­per­seded by the Su­preme Be­ing, an ex­pe­ri­en­tial sov­er­eign, whose vicegerents they will un­doubt­edly be­come.

18:3.9The Su­preme Be­ing is achiev­ing the sov­er­eignty of the seven super­uni­verses by ex­pe­ri­en­tial ser­vice just as a Cre­ator Son ex­pe­ri­en­tially earns the sov­er­eignty of his lo­cal uni­verse. But dur­ing the pres­ent age of the un­fin­ished evo­lu­tion of the Su­preme, the An­cients of Days pro­vide the co-or­di­nated and per­fect ad­min­is­tra­tive over­con­trol of the evolv­ing uni­verses of time and space. And the wis­dom of orig­i­nal­ity and the ini­tia­tive of in­di­vid­u­al­ity char­ac­ter­ize all the de­crees and rul­ings of the An­cients of Days.

• surrounded by 7 clusters of 70 spheres each

18:4.8The work of the pil­grims of time on the worlds sur­round­ing a ma­jor sec­tor head­quar­ters is chiefly of an in­tel­lec­tual na­ture in con­trast with the more phys­i­cal and ma­te­rial char­ac­ter of the train­ing on the seven ed­u­ca­tional spheres of a mi­nor sec­tor and with the spir­i­tual un­der­tak­ings on the four hun­dred ninety uni­ver­sity worlds of a super­uni­verse head­quar­ters.

19:7.5Through these same av­enues we are en­abled to in­ter­com­mu­ni­cate in­stan­ta­neously. Our en­tire or­der of cre­ation finds it­self in touch with ev­ery in­di­vid­ual em­braced within ev­ery di­vi­sion of the chil­dren of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity save only the In­spired Spir­its.

• population › 138 billion Havona Servitals

25:1.7On super­uni­verse ser­vice the Ha­vona Servi­tals are al­ways as­signed to that do­main pre­sided over by the Mas­ter Spirit whom they most re­sem­ble in gen­eral and spe­cial spirit pre­rog­a­tives. They serve only on the ed­u­ca­tional worlds sur­round­ing the cap­i­tals of the seven super­uni­verses, and the last re­port of Uversa in­di­cates that al­most 138 bil­lion servi­tals were min­is­ter­ing on its 490 satel­lites. They en­gage in an end­less va­ri­ety of ac­tiv­i­ties in con­nec­tion with the work of these ed­u­ca­tional worlds com­pris­ing the super­uni­ver­si­ties of the super­uni­verse of Or­von­ton. Here they are your com­pan­ions; they have come down from your next ca­reer to study you and to in­spire you with the re­al­ity and cer­tainty of your even­tual grad­u­a­tion from the uni­verses of time to the realms of eter­nity. And in these con­tacts the servi­tals gain that pre­lim­i­nary ex­pe­ri­ence of min­is­ter­ing to the as­cend­ing crea­tures of time which is so help­ful in their sub­se­quent work on the Ha­vona cir­cuits as as­so­ciates of the Grad­u­ate Guides or—as trans­lated servi­tals—as Grad­u­ate Guides them­selves.

• population › 8 million Celestial Recorders

25:6.4While the ad­vanc­ing re­cord­ers sta­tioned on the sub­or­di­nate spheres of rec­ord in the Or­von­ton uni­verses num­ber tril­lions upon tril­lions, those of at­tained sta­tus on Uversa are not quite eight mil­lion in num­ber. These se­nior or grad­u­ate re­cord­ers are the super­uni­verse cus­to­di­ans and for­warders of the spon­sored rec­ords of time and space. Their per­ma­nent head­quar­ters are in the cir­cu­lar abodes sur­round­ing the area of rec­ords on Uversa. They never leave the cus­tody of these rec­ords to oth­ers; as in­di­vid­u­als they may be ab­sent, but never in large num­bers.

• temple of wisdom

28:5.10You can just faintly com­pre­hend what all this means to those who are re­spon­si­ble for the con­duct of the super­uni­verse gov­ern­ments. The im­men­sity and the com­pre­hen­sive­ness of these trans­ac­tions are quite be­yond fi­nite con­cep­tion. When you stand, as I re­peat­edly have, in the spe­cial re­ceiv­ing cham­bers of the tem­ple of wis­dom on Uversa and see all this in ac­tual op­er­a­tion, you will be moved to ado­ra­tion by the per­fec­tion of the com­plex­ity, and by the surety of the work­ing, of the in­ter­plan­e­tary com­mu­ni­ca­tions of the uni­verses. You will pay homage to the di­vine wis­dom and good­ness of the Gods, who plan and ex­e­cute with such su­perb tech­nique. And these things ac­tu­ally hap­pen just as I have por­trayed them.

• U. satellites are finishing school

28:7.1The se­con­a­phim have their ori­gin and head­quar­ters on the cap­i­tals of the super­uni­verses, but with their li­ai­son fel­lows they range from the shores of Par­a­dise to the evo­lu­tion­ary worlds of space. They serve as val­ued as­sis­tants to the mem­bers of the de­lib­er­a­tive as­sem­blies of the super­gov­ern­ments and are of great help to the cour­tesy colonies of Uversa: the star stu­dents, mil­len­nial tourists, ce­les­tial ob­servers, and a host of oth­ers, in­clud­ing the as­cen­dant be­ings in wait­ing for Ha­vona trans­port. The An­cients of Days take plea­sure in as­sign­ing cer­tain of the pri­mary se­con­a­phim to as­sist the as­cend­ing crea­tures domi­ciled on the four hun­dred ninety study worlds sur­round­ing Uversa, and here also do many of the sec­ondary and ter­tiary or­ders serve as teach­ers. These Uversa satel­lites are the fin­ish­ing schools of the uni­verses of time, pre­sent­ing the prepara­tory course for the seven-cir­cuited uni­ver­sity of Ha­vona.

30:2.12812. Ad­juster-fused Mor­tal Cit­i­zens of Par­a­dise.

30:2.129This is the work­ing clas­si­fi­ca­tion of the per­son­al­i­ties of the uni­verses as they are of rec­ord on the head­quar­ters world of Uversa.

30:2.130COM­POS­ITE PER­SON­AL­ITY GROUPS. There are on Uversa the rec­ords of nu­mer­ous ad­di­tional groups of in­tel­li­gent be­ings, be­ings that are also closely re­lated to the or­ga­ni­za­tion and ad­min­is­tra­tion of the grand uni­verse. Among such or­ders are the fol­low­ing three com­pos­ite per­son­al­ity groups:

30:2.131A. The Par­a­dise Corps of the Fi­nal­ity.

30:2.1321. The Corps of Mor­tal Fi­nal­i­ters.

30:2.1332. The Corps of Par­a­dise Fi­nal­i­ters.

30:2.1343. The Corps of Trin­i­tized Fi­nal­i­ters.

30:2.1354. The Corps of Con­joint Trin­i­tized Fi­nal­i­ters.

30:2.1365. The Corps of Ha­vona Fi­nal­i­ters.

30:2.1376. The Corps of Tran­scen­den­tal Fi­nal­i­ters.

30:2.1387. The Corps of Un­re­vealed Sons of Des­tiny.

30:2.139The Mor­tal Corps of the Fi­nal­ity is dealt with in the next and fi­nal pa­per of this se­ries.

30:2.140B. The Uni­verse Aids.

30:2.1411. Bright and Morn­ing Stars.

30:2.1422. Bril­liant Evening Stars.

30:2.1433. Arch­an­gels.

30:2.1444. Most High As­sis­tants.

30:2.1455. High Com­mis­sion­ers.

30:2.1466. Ce­les­tial Over­seers.

30:2.1477. Man­sion World Teach­ers.

30:2.148On all head­quar­ters worlds of both lo­cal and super­uni­verses, pro­vi­sion is made for these be­ings who are en­gaged in spe­cific mis­sions for the Cre­ator Sons, the lo­cal uni­verse rulers. We wel­come these Uni­verse Aids on Uversa, but we have no ju­ris­dic­tion over them. Such emis­saries pros­e­cute their work and carry on their ob­ser­va­tions un­der au­thor­ity of the Cre­ator Sons. Their ac­tiv­i­ties are more fully de­scribed in the nar­ra­tive of your lo­cal uni­verse.

30:2.149C. The Seven Cour­tesy Colonies.

30:2.1501. Star Stu­dents.

30:2.1512. Ce­les­tial Ar­ti­sans.

30:2.1523. Re­ver­sion Di­rec­tors.

30:2.1534. Ex­ten­sion-school In­struc­tors.

30:2.1545. The Var­i­ous Re­serve Corps.

30:2.1556. Stu­dent Vis­i­tors.

30:2.1567. As­cend­ing Pil­grims.

30:2.157These seven groups of be­ings will be found thus or­ga­nized and gov­erned on all head­quar­ters worlds from the lo­cal sys­tems up to the cap­i­tals of the super­uni­verses, par­tic­u­larly the lat­ter. The cap­i­tals of the seven super­uni­verses are the meet­ing places for al­most all classes and or­ders of in­tel­li­gent be­ings. With the ex­cep­tion of nu­mer­ous groups of Par­a­dise-Havon­ers, here the will crea­tures of ev­ery phase of ex­is­tence may be ob­served and stud­ied.

• location › favorably constituted for star students; no gigantic suns near-by

30:3.21. The Star Stu­dents, the ce­les­tial as­tron­o­mers, choose to work on spheres like Uversa be­cause such spe­cially con­structed worlds are un­usu­ally fa­vor­able for their ob­ser­va­tions and cal­cu­la­tions. Uversa is fa­vor­ably sit­u­ated for the work of this colony, not only be­cause of its cen­tral lo­ca­tion, but also be­cause there are no gi­gan­tic liv­ing or dead suns near at hand to dis­turb the en­ergy cur­rents. These stu­dents are not in any man­ner or­gan­i­cally con­nected with the af­fairs of the super­uni­verse; they are merely guests.

• population › 1 million star students

30:3.4The star-ob­server colony of Uversa now num­bers over one mil­lion. These as­tron­o­mers come and go, though some re­main for com­par­a­tively long pe­ri­ods. They carry on their work with the aid of a mul­ti­tude of me­chan­i­cal in­stru­ments and phys­i­cal ap­pli­ances; they are also greatly as­sisted by the Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers and other spirit ex­plor­ers. These ce­les­tial as­tron­o­mers make con­stant use of the liv­ing en­ergy trans­form­ers and trans­mit­ters, as well as of the re­flec­tive per­son­al­i­ties, in their work of star study and space sur­vey. They study all forms and phases of space ma­te­rial and en­ergy man­i­fes­ta­tions, and they are just as much in­ter­ested in force func­tion as in stel­lar phe­nom­ena; noth­ing in all space es­capes their scrutiny.

30:3.105. The Var­i­ous Re­serve Corps. Vast re­serves of be­ings not un­der our im­me­di­ate super­vi­sion are mo­bi­lized on Uversa as the re­serve-corps colony. There are sev­enty pri­mary di­vi­sions of this colony on Uversa, and it is a lib­eral ed­u­ca­tion to be per­mit­ted to spend a sea­son with these ex­traor­di­nary per­son­al­i­ties. Sim­i­lar gen­eral re­serves are main­tained on Sal­ving­ton and other uni­verse cap­i­tals; they are dis­patched on ac­tive ser­vice on the req­ui­si­tion of their re­spec­tive group di­rec­tors.

• population › 1 billion student visitors

30:3.116. The Stu­dent Vis­i­tors. From all the uni­verse a con­stant stream of ce­les­tial vis­i­tors pours through the var­i­ous head­quar­ters worlds. As in­di­vid­u­als and as classes these var­i­ous types of be­ings flock in upon us as ob­servers, ex­change pupils, and stu­dent helpers. On Uversa, at pres­ent, there are over one bil­lion per­sons in this cour­tesy colony. Some of these vis­i­tors may tarry a day, oth­ers may re­main a year, all de­pen­dent on the na­ture of their mis­sion. This colony con­tains al­most ev­ery class of uni­verse be­ings ex­cept Cre­ator per­son­al­i­ties and mor­ontia mor­tals.

• population › ascenders are 3rd stage spirits on

31:3.41. We know from the rec­ords that mor­tals are spir­its of the first or­der dur­ing their so­journ in the mi­nor sec­tors, and that they ad­vance to the sec­ond or­der when trans­lated to the ma­jor sec­tors, and to the third when they go for­ward to the cen­tral train­ing worlds of the super­uni­verse. Mor­tals be­come quar­tan or grad­u­ate spir­its af­ter reach­ing the sixth cir­cle of Ha­vona and be­come spir­its of the fifth or­der when they find the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther. They sub­se­quently at­tain the sixth stage of spirit ex­is­tence upon tak­ing the oath that musters them for­ever into the eter­nity as­sign­ment of the Corps of the Mor­tal Fi­nal­ity.

• location › 200,000 light years from Jerusem
• location › in dense diameter of Milky Way

32:2.11The Sa­ta­nia sys­tem of in­hab­ited worlds is far re­moved from Uversa and that great sun clus­ter which func­tions as the phys­i­cal or as­tro­nomic cen­ter of the sev­enth super­uni­verse. From Je­ru­sem, the head­quar­ters of Sa­ta­nia, it is over two hun­dred thou­sand light-years to the phys­i­cal cen­ter of the super­uni­verse of Or­von­ton, far, far away in the dense di­am­e­ter of the Milky Way. Sa­ta­nia is on the pe­riph­ery of the lo­cal uni­verse, and Neb­a­don is now well out to­wards the edge of Or­von­ton. From the out­er­most sys­tem of in­hab­ited worlds to the cen­ter of the super­uni­verse is a tri­fle less than two hun­dred and fifty thou­sand light-years.

44:4.21. Thought pre­servers. These are the ar­ti­sans ded­i­cated to the preser­va­tion of the higher thought of the realms. On the mor­ontia worlds they truly trea­sure the gems of men­ta­tion. Be­fore first com­ing to Uran­tia, I saw rec­ords and heard broad­casts of the ide­a­tion of some of the great minds of this planet. Thought re­cord­ers pre­serve such no­ble ideas in the tongue of Uversa.

44:4.3Each super­uni­verse has its own lan­guage, a tongue spo­ken by its per­son­al­i­ties and pre­vail­ing through­out its sec­tors. This is known as the tongue of Uversa in our super­uni­verse. Each lo­cal uni­verse also has its own lan­guage. All of the higher or­ders of Neb­a­don are bilin­gual, speak­ing both the lan­guage of Neb­a­don and the tongue of Uversa. When two in­di­vid­u­als from dif­fer­ent lo­cal uni­verses meet, they com­mu­ni­cate in the tongue of Uversa; if, how­ever, one of them hails from an­other super­uni­verse, they must have re­course to a trans­la­tor. In the cen­tral uni­verse there is lit­tle need of a lan­guage; there ex­ists per­fect and well-nigh com­plete un­der­stand­ing; there, only the Gods are not fully com­pre­hended. We are taught that a chance meet­ing on Par­a­dise re­veals more of mu­tual un­der­stand­ing than could be com­mu­ni­cated by a mor­tal lan­guage in a thou­sand years. Even on Sal­ving­ton we “know as we are known.”

44:4.4The abil­ity to trans­late thought into lan­guage in the mor­ontia and spirit spheres is be­yond mor­tal com­pre­hen­sion. Our rate of re­duc­ing thought to a per­ma­nent rec­ord can be so speeded up by the ex­pert re­cord­ers that the equiv­a­lent of over half a mil­lion words, or thought sym­bols, can be reg­is­tered in one minute of Uran­tia time. These uni­verse lan­guages are far more re­plete than the speech of the evolv­ing worlds. The con­cept sym­bols of Uversa em­brace more than a bil­lion char­ac­ters, al­though the ba­sic al­pha­bet con­tains only sev­enty sym­bols. The lan­guage of Neb­a­don is not quite so elab­o­rate, the ba­sic sym­bols, or al­pha­bet, be­ing forty-eight in num­ber.

47:7.2Hav­ing mas­tered the lo­cal uni­verse lan­guage be­fore leav­ing the fourth man­sion world, you now de­vote more time to the per­fec­tion of the tongue of Uversa to the end that you may be pro­fi­cient in both lan­guages be­fore ar­riv­ing on Je­ru­sem with res­i­den­tial sta­tus. All as­cend­ing mor­tals are bilin­gual from the sys­tem head­quar­ters up to Ha­vona. And then it is only nec­es­sary to en­large the super­uni­verse vo­cab­u­lary, still ad­di­tional en­large­ment be­ing re­quired for res­i­dence on Par­a­dise.

• U. Council of Equilibrium dispatched Master Force Organizer to Andronover

57:1.4900,000,000,000 years ago, the Uversa ar­chives tes­tify, there was re­corded a per­mit is­sued by the Uversa Coun­cil of Equi­lib­rium to the super­uni­verse gov­ern­ment au­tho­riz­ing the dis­patch of a force or­ga­nizer and staff to the re­gion pre­vi­ously des­ig­nated by in­spec­tor num­ber 811,307. The Or­von­ton au­thor­i­ties com­mis­sioned the orig­i­nal dis­cov­erer of this po­ten­tial uni­verse to ex­e­cute the man­date of the An­cients of Days call­ing for the or­ga­ni­za­tion of a new ma­te­rial cre­ation.

• Supreme Being will function from U. when superuniverses are settled in light and life

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.

• Supreme Being will function from U. when superuniverses are settled in light and life

117:7.16It is pos­si­ble that the Su­preme may then be per­son­ally res­i­dent on Uversa, the head­quar­ters of Or­von­ton, from which he will di­rect the ad­min­is­tra­tion of the time cre­ations, but this is re­ally only a con­jec­ture. Cer­tainly, though, the per­son­al­ity of the Su­preme Be­ing will be def­i­nitely con­tactable at some spe­cific lo­cal­ity, al­though the ubiq­uity of his De­ity pres­ence will prob­a­bly con­tinue to per­me­ate the uni­verse of uni­verses. What the re­la­tion of the super­uni­verse cit­i­zens of that age will be to the Su­preme we do not know, but it may be some­thing like the pres­ent re­la­tion­ship be­tween the Ha­vona na­tives and the Par­a­dise Trin­ity.
