7 worlds surrounding Salvington 3 paragraphs

35:7.1The sec­ond group of seven worlds in the cir­cuit of sev­enty pri­mary spheres sur­round­ing Sal­ving­ton com­prise the Vo­ron­da­dek plan­ets. Each of these spheres, with its six en­cir­cling satel­lites, is de­voted to a spe­cial phase of Vo­ron­da­dek ac­tiv­i­ties. On these forty-nine realms the as­cend­ing mor­tals se­cure the acme of their ed­u­ca­tion re­spect­ing uni­verse leg­is­la­tion.

35:7.2The as­cend­ing mor­tals have ob­served the leg­isla­tive as­sem­blies as they func­tioned on the head­quar­ters worlds of the con­stel­la­tions, but here on these Vo­ron­da­dek worlds they par­tic­i­pate in the en­act­ment of the ac­tual gen­eral leg­is­la­tion of the lo­cal uni­verse un­der the tute­lage of the se­nior Voron­dadeks. Such en­act­ments are de­signed to co-or­di­nate the var­ied pro­nounce­ments of the au­ton­o­mous leg­isla­tive as­sem­blies of the one hun­dred con­stel­la­tions. The in­struc­tion to be had in the Vo­ron­da­dek schools is un­ex­celled even on Uversa. This train­ing is pro­gres­sive, ex­tend­ing from the first sphere, with sup­ple­men­tal work on its six satel­lites, on up through the re­main­ing six pri­mary spheres and their as­so­ci­ated satel­lite groups.

35:7.3The as­cend­ing pil­grims will be in­tro­duced to nu­mer­ous new ac­tiv­i­ties on these worlds of study and prac­ti­cal work. We are not for­bid­den to un­der­take the rev­e­la­tion of these new and un­dreamed-of pur­suits, but we de­spair of be­ing able to por­tray these un­der­tak­ings to the ma­te­rial mind of mor­tal be­ings. We are with­out words to con­vey the mean­ings of these su­per­nal ac­tiv­i­ties, and there are no anal­o­gous hu­man en­gage­ments which might be uti­lized as il­lus­tra­tions of these new oc­cu­pa­tions of the as­cend­ing mor­tals as they pur­sue their stud­ies on these forty-nine worlds. And many other ac­tiv­i­ties, not a part of the as­cen­dant regime, are cen­tered on these Vo­ron­da­dek worlds of the Sal­ving­ton cir­cuit.
