Orvonton

O

Space is undeniably huge. And if The Urantia Book is to be believed, it is not only teeming with life like ours, but it is also orderly and organized. And it functions like a perfectly oiled machine; according to the divine plan.

Every populated (and populable) planet has its own superhuman government. All of them belong to specific planetary groupings. The smallest group—a system—consists of about 1,000 habitable worlds; The Earth belongs to the Satania system. The constellations contain 100 systems each; ours is Norlatiadek. The local universes are 100 constellations; we live in the universe of Nebadon. Then there are the smaller sectors—ours is Ensa—each of which has 100 local universes, and the larger sectors—ours are Splandon—made up of hundreds of minor sectors. The 10 major sectors make up the superuniverse, a space that includes a trillion planets on which human beings can and do live. Orvonton is our superuniverse.

Super creations

The superuniverses, sometimes called “supercreations” in the Urantia Papers, are evolutionary in nature. This means that their components, and therefore as a whole, are constantly changing, developing and growing; both on the levels that are most obvious to us — the material ones, and (or rather primarily) on the spiritual level. All of them will eventually reach a stable status of light and life and reach the limits of their development. The evolutionary destiny of the superuniverses is perfection.

There are 7 unique superuniverses in the grand universe. Each of them has its own function and has its own individual purpose of existence. What is the purpose of Orvonton? This has not been revealed to us. All 7 goals emerge gradually as the superuniverses evolve, but even if different, they are interrelated. They are all manifest in some measure in each of the superuniverses, but the individual supercreations will fully express only one purpose.

The present goal of the superuniverses is to become, as they are and within their potentials, perfect, even as is Havona. This perfection pertains to physical and spiritual attainment, even to administrative, governmental, and fraternal development. It is believed that, in the ages to come, the possibilities for disharmony, maladjustment, and misadaptation will be eventually exhausted in the superuniverses. The energy circuits will be in perfect balance and in complete subjugation to mind, while spirit, in the presence of personality, will have achieved the dominance of mind.

 117:7.13 (1292.7)

The perfection of the superuniverse, in The Urantia Book termed the seventh stage of the era of light and life, is beyond conjecture, even to the authors of the papers. From a somewhat practical standpoint, one of the chief tasks of the superuniverse administration at the present time is the uplifting of mortals: To lead men like ourselves to God. The universes of Orvonton are the most suitable breeding ground.

The superuniverses (though unequivocally correlated) are now almost completely isolated. Their rulers act for the good of their realms, regardless of what may transpire in other parts of the universe. Such isolation will end at some point in the future. Unity is the destiny of all creation.

Cosmography

The superuniverses, though administratively isolated, are not clearly demarcated cosmic structures. Rather, they are geographic spatial groupings, each comprising about one-seventh of the organized and inhabited creation. The individual superuniverses contain a similar number of local universes — the basic divisions of the grand universe.

If we would draw an illustrative map of the master universe, the central point would certainly be the Isle of Paradise, the permanent abode of the Universe Father. Then, around it, we would place 6 successively arranged elliptical, concentric layers of space. The first Paradise-tangent layer constitutes the perfect Havona universe. Orvonton constitutes the seventh part of the second layer and, with the other six superuniverses, encircles Havona. We can think of the superuniverse layer as a kind of cosmic pie divided into seven pieces. The adjacent superuniverses extend outward from the center of everything perpendicular to Havona. The next layers are 4 levels of external space extending further and further, which are only at the stage of organization.

Our superuniverse is named, Orvonton, derived from the seventh satellite of the Infinite Spirit which orbits the Isle of Paradise (all superuniverses are named after the Paradise satellites of the Spirit).

On the move

The universe is alive. Not only evolutionarily. From the first astronomical discoveries that can be called scientific, we have known that the cosmos is in constant motion. This is also how it is presented in The Urantia Book.

The constituents of all the layers of the master universe are propagating within their ellipses, orbiting around the central Isle, the only stationary place in the universe. We travel with Orvonton. And this one does not venture into the unexplored corners of space. The circulation of the superuniverses around Havona is known and predictable. Our scientists know the orbits of the planets of the Solar System; the celestial astronomers know the Orvonton route. We are moving along exactly the same path that the Solar System (or its ancestors) traveled before the epochs. In the future, he (or his successors) will come here again.

The directions of movement of the individual layers are alternating. Havona swings clockwise around Paradise, the superuniverses conterclockwise, the first outer space level clockwise again, and so on. At present, from the Havona standpoint, superuniverse number one is swinging about eastward toward toward north; superuniverse number two is northward and will be turning westward; superuniverse number three has begun to turn into a southward curve; westward fourth is moving southward; superuniverse number five is continuing its westward course and is just before the eastward curve; superuniverse number six occupies most of the curvature the southern part of space which our seventh superuniverse has almost left. The solar system passed the southern curvature a few billion years ago and is now extending beyond the southeastern arc of the superuniverse ellipse.

Such wanderings in space are time-consuming. The Universal Censor says that Orvonton will move in a well-nigh straight northward direction for “countless ages.” Therefore, we should not be surprised that we are groping in the dark in space. If it takes billions of years to complete the arc of a superuniverse orbit alone, how can we expect our astronomical measurements to be reliable? And these are not the only movements of celestial bodies. After all, rotational motion is also characteristic of the smaller components of the superuniverses. Up to the microcosm, everything revolves around the Universal Father.

Our astronomers have so far been able to identify 8 of the ten sectors of Orvonton. The other two will be more difficult for us to recognize, because we observe them from the inside. Interestingly, almost all of the stars we see with the naked eye belong to Orvonton; The Milky Way establishes its central core.

Uversa

Uversa, the headquarters of our superuniverse is located near the astronomic center of Orvonton and it is the seat of its rulers. Uversa is the administrative as well as the spiritual headquarters for each of the trillion habitable planets of Orvonton.

There are 7 (70 planets each) of the higher universities of spiritual training of ascending mortals orbiting Uversa. This is the penultimate level of divine training for ascending mortals. The universe is one big school.

From Earth it is far to Uversa. Not only is Nebadon, orbiting the center of the minor sector, at the edge of that sector, but Satania itself lies on the outskirts of Nebadon. We are on the outskirts of Orvonton.

Calendar

Each of the superuniverses has its own standard for timekeeping. An Orvonton day is less than 30 earth days long; a year is 100 days long (22 minutes shorter than 3000 days on earth) and is the standard of time for our superuniverse. The Orvonton constituents can, of course, also use their own standards. From above the standard unit of time for all seven superuniverses is Paradise-Havona day: the amount of time it takes for the planets of the inner circuit of the central universe to complete one complete circuit around the Isle of Paradise. Paradise-Havona day is 7 minutes and 3 1/8 seconds shorter than one thousand Earth years.

Speech

Each of the seven superuniverses has its own language. This language is obligatory in its sectors and is used by native personalities. In Orvonton it is called the language of Uversa. The concept symbols of Uversa are over one billion characters long, although the basic alphabet contains only 70 symbols. The local universes also have languages of their own, but all of the higher orders of Nebadon have two languages, both the language of Nebadon and the tongue of Uversa. Two persons from the different local universes of Orvonton will communicate in the language of Uversa, but persons from the other superuniverses will require an interpreter.

Circuits

The components of the grand universe are pervaded by manifold energy streams, known in The Urantia Book as “circuits.” The most obvious example of a circuit for us would be gravity, originating in the Isle of Paradise. This is a common and familiar force. The other circuits will not be so obvious. From the broadest perspective, circuits are specific influences or presences encompassing all or parts of creation. Some of the circuits (probably because of the way they work) which attract are also called gravity in the papers. All forms of force and all phases of energy are encircuited by the Universal Father. They circulate in universes and return by specific routes.

There are 3 major circuit levels in the master universe:

  • The Paradise circuits which pervade all superuniverses;
  • The circuits of the individual superuniverses;
  • The Local Universe Circuits.

The Book of Urania lists the 7 circuits of the superuniverse:

  • The intelligence circuit of one of the Seven Master Spirits of Paradise. The cosmic mind circuits of the individual Master Spirits are limited to a single superuniverse;
  • The reflective ministry circuit of the Reflective Spirits in each superuniverse;
  • circuits of mysterious monitors;
  • The liaison circuit of the Eternal Son with his Paradise Sons;
  • The circuit of the presence of the Infinite Spirit;
  • The Paradise Broadcast Circuit and the Havona Cosmic Reports;
  • The energy circuits of the power centers and the physical controllers.

Administration

The Supreme Direction and administration of the superuniverses are the responsibility of the personalities belonging to the Supreme Spirit group. For the purposes of this study I will mention only two of the seven revealed orders of Supreme Spirits: the Master Spirits and their spokesmen, the Supreme Executives.

Neither should the executive and judicial divisions of the Ancients of Days be ignored in the management of superuniverses. The Master Spirits bestow individual nature upon the individual superuniverses; the Ancients of Days impose uniform administration.

Master Spirits

The Paradise Master Spirits are the primary personalities of the Infinite Spirit. They are its highest and final representatives. If we were to ask, “What did the Infinite Spirit do first?” the answer would be, “He created the Master Spirits to distribute him throughout the grand universe”.

The Master Spirits appear to have been brought into being by the personal creative acts of the Infinite Spirit, but it is taught that both the Universal Father and the Eternal Son participated in their origin. Hence they are identified in the “Paradise classification of living beings” as “beings of triune origin”.

In bringing into being the Master Spirits the Infinite Spirit exhausted the associative possibilities of existence for the three persons of Deity. There are exactly 7 Master Spirits. That is why there are seven superuniverses, and why seven (and multiples of seven) so often appears in the organization and administration of these superuniverses; probably this is why we regard seven as a magic number. Why exactly 7? The answer is simpler than it may seem. There are exactly 7 possibilities of different associations of the three persons of the Deity: God himself; the Son himself; the Spirit himself; God and the Son; God and the Spirit; The Son and the Spirit; God, the Son and the Spirit. If there were more mathematical combinations of these associations, the Master Spirits, and therefore the superuniverses, would also be more.

The Master Spirits are beings difficult of description; even to the revelators of the Urantia Papers. So we can’t hope to understand what (or rather who) they really are.

All Master Spirits are distinctly and specifically personal. They perform many functions and function on all universe levels of reality (except the absolute level). It may interest us that the Master Spirits participate in the creation of the local universes: And when speaking of inanimate matter (as the creators of the Power Directors), but also in view of life itself; even ours (as the creator of the Divine Guardians). The Master Spirits are also the source of the cosmic mind. At present, their most characteristic area of service is the supervision of the superuniverses.

Each Master Spirit leads over one superuniverse, and their presences mark the territories of the individual supercreations. The Master Spirits, radiating or carrying through space, are in a certain sense their own superuniverses; at least that’s how I conceive this matter. The abodes of the Master Spirits, the focal points of their power, swing around the periphery of the Isle of Paradise, always maintaining a position opposite the superuniverses of their control. From the foregoing comparison we may conceive that the cutting lines separating the pieces of the cosmic cake converge at the Paradise headquarters of the supervising superuniverse portion of the Master Spirit.

The Master Spirits have personal capacities on the periphery of Paradise, but all activities connected with the management of the grand universe are conducted from the seven administrative spheres of the Infinite Spirit. From there they balance and stabilize the circuits of the cosmic mind. The administrative bases of the Master Spirits in the management of the individual superuniverses are the capitals of their supercreations.

As personalizations of the Infinite Spirit, the Master Spirits are closely related. But in that they express the different associations of Deity, they differ in nature. And this is manifested by the marked differentiation of the superuniverses. Though all supercreations enjoy the combined counsel and wisdom of the seven Master Spirits, each acquires the personal touch and hue of only one of them. The personal nature of the Master Spirit profoundly pervades and uniquely conditions his superuniverse, and this superuniverse becomes a mirror reflecting the nature and character of the supervising Spirit. These differences are so peculiar that there have been seven major approaches to the Universe Father in the grand universe. Following this personal influence, each being of a superuniverse bears the characteristic “seal of individuality” — the badge of nature inherited from one Master Spirit.

Though the Master Spirits have names, The Urantia Book reveals them to us by numbers:The Master Spirit Number One is in his manner the direct representative of the Paradise Father; Master Spirit Number Two portrays the nature and character of the Eternal Son; The personality of Master Spirit Number Three resembles that of the Infinite Spirit; Master Spirit Number Four partakes of the combined natures of the Father and the Son; Master Spirit Number Five combines the character of the Universal Father and the Infinite Spirit; Master Spirit Number Six portrays the combined nature of the Eternal Son and the Infinite Spirit; Master Spirit Number Seven, the Master Spirit of Orvonton, represents the sum total of the characters of the Universal Father, the Eternal Son, and the Infinite Spirit.

Each Master Spirit is a voice expressing the policies and procedures of the designated associations of Deity persons in the councils of the Seven Master Spirits. In their ministry they may function personally (e.g., in the spheres of “administrative regulation of organized physical power, mind energy, and impersonal spirit ministry”) or through associates and subordinates. In all matters of an executive nature, in the case of judgments, ordinances, or adjustments, they act through the Supreme Executors; in the central universe by the Spirits of the Havona Circuits; on the headquarters of the superuniverses they manifest themselves through the channel of the Reflective Spirits and administer through the Ancients of Days. They maintain personal contact with the latter through the Helpers-Mirror Images.

The Master Spirits have representatives throughout the grand universe, but they do not have direct contact with the administration of the constituents below the courts of the Ancients of Days. Since most of their subordinates do not work in the ascendant scheme of mortals, practically no information has been revealed to us about them. Besides, as the authors of The Urantia Book maintain, most of what concerns the Master Spirits is beyond the scope of our comprehension.

The Master Spirit of Orvonton

Orvonton is in the custody of Master Spirit Number Seven. Accordingly, the administration of our universe is dictated by the co-ordinate natures of the Father, Son, and Spirit.

The Seventh Master Spirit is not organically representative of the Paradise Trinity; but it is a known fact that his personal and spiritual nature is the Conjoint Actor’s portraiture in equal proportions of the three infinite persons whose Deity union is the Paradise Trinity, and whose function as such is the source of the personal and spiritual nature of God the Supreme. Hence the Seventh Master Spirit discloses a personal and organic relationship to the spirit person of the evolving Supreme. Therefore in the Master Spirit councils on high, when it becomes necessary to cast the ballot for the combined personal attitude of the Father, Son, and Spirit or to depict the spiritual attitude of the Supreme Being, it is Master Spirit Number Seven who functions. He thus inherently becomes the presiding head of the Paradise council of the Seven Master Spirits.

16:3.15 (188.3)

The origin of Master Spirit Number Seven makes him the excellent adviser and helper of all triune origin beings; he was also the adviser and chief of the ascending creatures of Havona who have attained by the joint ministry of the Father, the Son, and the Spirit. For this same reason he holds patronage of the progress of the ascending efforts to comprehend Deity of Supremacy.

In Orvonton Master Spirit Number Seven influences the following areas of superuniverse activities:

  • Life initiation procedures;
  • Activations of the life of the adjutant spirits;
  • Fluctuations in the manifestations of energy;
  • Conservation of the developing energy;
  • The bestowal of the spirit of ministry upon the Creative Spirit (known in our country as the Holy Spirit);
  • The subsequent bestowal of the Spirit of Truth;
  • Reflecting mechanisms.

We (since human beings cannot hear or see the Master Spirits) do not and will not feel the direct mind-spirit influence of the Master Spirit of Orvonton. Master Spirit Number Seven obviously supervises our local universe (after all, it is a component of Orvonton), but he is represented to the creatures of Nebadon by the Divine Minister of Salvington. And if Master Spirit Number Seven were to make contact with the mind of any mortal, he would do so through it. And since the Creative Mother Spirit of our local universe is of character and nature resembling that of the Master Spirit of Orvonton, this contact would still be somewhat direct.

However, we remain marked. This “mark of individuality” signifies that you have always worn, and always will continue to wear, the physical stamp of ancestral nature indicating Master Spirit Number Seven; and therefore to the place where you come from. As ascending mortals of Orvonton, we will eternally exhibit the characteristic traits of Master Spirit Number Seven.

Top Performers

The Master Spirits do not personally contact the governmental divisions of their superuniverses. They keep in touch through their immediate associates and representatives, the Supreme Executives.

The Supreme Executives are beings trinitized by the Father, Son, and Spirit in accordance with the requirements of the Master Spirits so that they may function as their representatives in the universes. The Supreme Executives are uniformly and divinely perfect, but each has an individual personality. Under their custody remain the headquarters of the Master Spirits orbiting the Isle of Paradise. It is also there that the Supreme Performers reside permanently.

The Supreme Executives serve as co-ordinators and administrative supervisors of the grand universe. The supervision they exercise is almost unlimited. They direct material, intellectual, and spiritual affairs; they see, hear, and feel all — they know all that transpires in the superuniverses and in Havona (where they function through the Spirits of the Circuits). However, they do not create or modify the laws of the universe in any way. They do not engage in the adjudication of the Ancients of Days nor interfere with the competence of the Creator Sons. As their representatives, the Supreme Executives are wholly concerned with the execution of the plans proclaimed by the Master Spirits. When they put into practice the universal techniques of the grand universe rulers, they determine the directions in which the superuniverses will progress, but in reality and in accordance with their name they are merely the executors of the will of the Master Spirits.

Like the Master Spirits, each of the seven Supreme Executives functions in behalf of one superuniverse. It will not be surprising, therefore, that the affairs of Orvonton are administered by the seventh Paradise satellite of the Infinite Spirit (Orvonton…) The highest executor

Executive Department

The executive personnel stationed on Uversa serve under the direction of Master Spirit Number Seven; and in practice the Seventh Supreme Executive. The administration of the superuniverse is headed by the Ancients of Days, but the full executive department consists of seven groups:

  • the three Ancients of Days;
  • A billion perfectors of wisdom;
  • 3 billion Divine Counselors;
  • a billion universe censors;
  • Nearly a trillion Mighty Messengers;
  • Over ten billion with high powers;
  • Over 100 million Not Having a Name and a Number

In all component administrations of Orvonton there is observed a similar system of recruiting executives: Some are of perfection; some are perfected beings. It is no different on Uversa. The Perfectors of Wisdom, the Divine Counselors, and the Universal Censors, take origin directly from the Paradise Trinity; Mighty Messengers, High in Authority and Those without Name and Number, are glorified ascending mortals.

Ancients of Time

The Isle of Paradise and the perfected universe of Havona have no beginning — they exist from eternity (or rather, through eternity). Orvonton and the other superuniverses are referred to in The Urantia Book as the first “post-Havona creations,” meaning that they arose after Havona. The present administration of the superuniverses is not, therefore, eternal — there was a time when its personnel were nonexistent. And it is the Ancients of Days — the appointed rulers of the superuniverses — who are the first personalities of the grand universe. And even if they have a beginning, they have existed almost from eternity. They are called the Ancients of Days for a reason.

All of the Ancients of Days, and there are exactly twenty-one in the grand universe, are identical and “superperfect” offspring of the Paradise Trinity. Though they manifest individuality and are distinct in personality, they are no different from the Master Spirits. They represent the combined character and uniform nature of the Trinity. In the face of the creative differences of the various segments of the grand universe, the uniform rule of the Ancients of Days insures the harmony of the whole.

In power, jurisdiction, and authority, the Ancients of Days are the most perfect, versatile, and powerful of all the direct rulers of the creations of time and space. By juxtaposing the voice of the Spirit above with the voice of the Michael-Sons below, they are unerringly able to deduce the will of the Universal Father. That is why the decisions of the Ancients of Days are always perfect. To them God has conferred power and exclusive powers of final executive judgment; only the Ancients of Days can pass sentence of eternal and final destruction of will creatures. But they did not empirically gain the rights to leadership—this was given to them. Therefore, it is assumed that they will be replaced by the Supreme Being one day (but most likely they will remain the vicegerents of the new ruler).

As rulers of the superuniverses, the Ancients of Days always work in groups of three. They can serve alone or in pairs, but in matters of greater importance all three must act (as, for example, in inquiring what the Father’s will is). The Ancients of Days never leave their capitals. Thanks to the reflecting systems focused there, there is no need for this.

Coordination Board

The writers of The Urantia Book do not reveal much about the co-ordinating council of Orvonton. From the context, however, we can infer that he acts as a field support for the Ancients of Days. Since beings of the order of Days serve as rulers (including Havona) or as Trinity counselors and ambassadors in the component superuniverses, I conjecture that the co-ordinating council may function as a co-ordinating group for the unified function of Orvonton.

The co-ordinating council is staffed by the executive group beings and the regional supervisors:

  • The Eternals of Days, the Havona planetary administrators,
  • The Perfections of Days, the rulers of the major sectors of the superuniverse,
  • The Recents of Days, the rulers of the minor sectors of the superuniverse,
  • The Union of Days, advisers to the rulers of the local universes,
  • The Faithfuls of Days, advisers to the constellation rulers,
  • Trinity Teacher Sons,
  • Reflection Imagery Helpers.

The administrators of the minor sector governments are under the immediate jurisdiction of the major sector rulers. The Recents of Days receive all reports of observations and co-ordinate all recommendations which come up to a superuniverse from the Unions of Days who are stationed as Trinity observers and advisers on the headquarters spheres of the local universes and from the Faithfuls of Days who are similarly attached to the councils of the Most Highs at the headquarters of the constellations. All such reports are transmitted to the Perfections of Days on the major sectors, subsequently to be passed on to the courts of the Ancients of Days. Thus the Trinity regime extends from the constellations of the local universes up to the headquarters of the superuniverse. The local system headquarters do not have Trinity representatives.

15:13.6 (181.6)

Legislation

All legal organs of Orvonton are stationed on Uversa. The legislative council, also known as the consultative assembly or advisory council, consists of seven chambers. It is composed of representatives of the individual local universes who are appointed to this capacity by the high councils of those universes. They are all ascenders  — graduates of the Uversa schools at the time of enlistment awaiting transportation to Havona. They serve in the legislative council for about one hundred years of superuniverse time.

Here, too, innate perfection is intertwined with evolutionary development. If I rightly comprehend the workings of superuniverse jurisprudence, it is the ascenders who make the law; perfect beings put them into practice. But never did differences arise between the administrators and the Uversa assemblies. In all the history of Orvonton the executive section has never refused to give effect to the recommendations of the legislative council.

The Courts of the Ancients of Days

The judicial section of Uversa has no separate staff. This is a part of executive department, so that the Ancient Days remain the heads of the Uversa courts. This is probably why the authors of the papers often refer to them as the judgments of the Ancients of Days. The parties to the processes taking place there are not only individuals, but also planets, systems, and even entire universes.

The courts of the Ancients of Days are the highest tribunals mentioned in The Urantia Book. Their judgments are final. In practice these are divine judgments, for “when the three Ancients of Days act, the Paradise Trinity is at work”; and above the superuniverse, in perfect Havona and Paradise, judgments are nonexistent—no longer necessary. The courts of Uversa have jurisdiction over (almost) all things and all beings of Orvonton. The exception is the affairs of the local universes. Though the courts of the Ancients of Days function as their appellate tribunals, the Creator Sons remain sovereign in their creations and decide for themselves whether to prefer their affairs higher. Here, too, there is an exception: proceedings concerning the liquidation of beings endowed with free will. Lawsuits in such matters may come from the local universes, but the verdicts are always pronounced by the courts of Uversa. The Creator Sons can decree the survival of mortal man, but eternal death can be decreed only by the Ancients of Days (all three must participate in such final adjudication). Interestingly, the Ancients of Days can annihilate a will creature without any process; however, such executions are carried out “rarely”.

Regardless of the subject, the judgments of the courts of Uversa are always unanimous. They reflect the consensus and final opinions of the Ancients of Days and the Master Spirit of Orvonton; there are no appeals against the decisions and rulings of the superuniverse authorities.

In God’s Embrace

The superuniverses are the cosmos in God’s embrace. And the vastness of space intimidates us all. Atheists will mock, but the complexity of divine administration will also make many believers dizzy. If, while learning about the mechanisms of managing the universe, you felt anxiety or doubt, I will share with you my own discovery: Let’s not measure God by human standards.

The organizational structure of the grand universe, with its hosts of superhuman administrators and ministering spirits, may indeed appear to us as a bureaucratic machinery of control and authority — just as it is ours, and consequently there may be a fear that, as with us, it will be defective, injustice, and arrogant. In fact, it is only the opposite.

Only by diminishing His power can God reach the lower orders of beings. Otherwise, we would have no chance of understanding it. God does not need authority, superiority, or privilege. He is the First Source and Center — all things proceed from him, and all things are subject to his will. If it can want anything, it is only less power, less superiority and less privilege. And so he decided — that even simple creatures descended from animals might know him and want to be like him. With each division, therefore, it reduces its absolute and unconditioned, infinite position, so that we can see and understand it. Therefore, it is not God who needs such bureaucracy, but us.

The complexity of administrative structures is due to the vastness of the universes. And the diversity that prevails in them exceeds our wildest imaginations. However, we always know better. But this is just puppy megalomania. Believe me that this division of authority and competency (and all energies) with superuniverses, sectors, local universes, and systems is apparently the most perfect.

P.S. The Future of Orvonton

While the seventh segment of the grand universe may, in many respects, be tardy in development, thoughtful students of our problems look forward to the evolution of an extraordinarily well-balanced creation in the ages to come. We predict this high degree of symmetry in Orvonton because the presiding Spirit of this superuniverse is the chief of the Master Spirits on high, being a spirit intelligence embodying the balanced union and perfect co-ordination of the traits and character of all three of the eternal Deities. We are tardy and backward in comparison with other sectors, but there undoubtedly awaits us a transcendent development and an unprecedented achievement sometime in the eternal ages of the future.
