PAPER 46
THE LOCAL SYSTEM HEADQUARTERS
46:0.1
JERUSEM, the headquarters of Satania, is an average
capital of a local system, and aside from numerous
irregularities occasioned by the Lucifer rebellion and
the bestowal of Michael on Urantia, it is typical of
similar spheres. Your local system has passed through
some stormy experiences, but it is at present being
administered most efficiently, and as the ages pass, the
results of disharmony are being slowly but surely
eradicated. Order and good will are being restored, and
the conditions on Jerusem are more and more approaching
the heavenly status of your traditions, for the system
headquarters is truly the heaven visualized by the
majority of twentieth-century religious believers.
1. PHYSICAL ASPECTS OF JERUSEM
46:1.1
Jerusem is divided into one thousand latitudinal sectors
and ten thousand longitudinal zones. The sphere has
seven major capitals and seventy minor administrative
centers. The seven sectional capitals are concerned with
diverse activities, and the System Sovereign is present
in each at least once a year.
46:1.2
The standard mile of Jerusem is equivalent to about
seven Urantia miles. The standard weight, the "gradant,"
is built up through the decimal system from the mature
ultimaton and represents almost exactly ten ounces of
your weight. The Satania day equals three days of
Urantia time, less one hour, four minutes, and fifteen
seconds, that being the time of the axial revolution of
Jerusem. The system year consists of one hundred Jerusem
days. The time of the system is broadcast by the master
chronoldeks.
46:1.3
The energy of Jerusem is superbly controlled and
circulates about the sphere in the zone channels, which
are directly fed from the energy charges of space and
expertly administered by the Master Physical
Controllers. The natural resistance to the passage of
these energies through the physical channels of
conduction yields the heat required for the production
of the equable temperature of Jerusem. The full-light
temperature is maintained at about 70 degrees
Fahrenheit, while during the period of light recession
it falls to a little lower than 50 degrees.
46:1.4
The lighting system of Jerusem should not be so
difficult for you to comprehend. There are no days and
nights, no seasons of heat and cold. The power
transformers maintain one hundred thousand centers from
which rarefied energies are projected upward through the
planetary atmosphere, undergoing certain changes, until
they reach the electric air-ceiling of the sphere; and
then these energies are reflected back and down as a
gentle, sifting, and even light of about the intensity
of Urantia sunlight when the sun is shining overhead at
ten o'clock in the morning.
46:1.5
Under such conditions of lighting, the light rays do not
seem to come from one place; they just sift out of the
sky, emanating equally from all space directions. This
light is very similar to natural sunlight except that it
contains very much less heat. Thus it will be recognized
that such headquarters worlds are not luminous in space;
if Jerusem were very near Urantia, it would not be
visible.
46:1.6
The gases which reflect this light-energy from the
Jerusem upper ionosphere back to the ground are very
similar to those in the Urantia upper air belts which
are concerned with the auroral phenomena of your
so-called northern lights, although these are produced
by different causes. On Urantia it is this same gas
shield which prevents the escape of the terrestrial
broadcast waves, reflecting them earthward when they
strike this gas belt in their direct outward flight. In
this way broadcasts are held near the surface as they
journey through the air around your world.
46:1.7
This lighting of the sphere is uniformly maintained for
seventy-five per cent of the Jerusem day, and then there
is a gradual recession until, at the time of minimum
illumination, the light is about that of your full moon
on a clear night. This is the quiet hour for all
Jerusem. Only the broadcast-receiving stations are in
operation during this period of rest and rehabilitation.
46:1.8
Jerusem receives faint light from several near-by suns
-- a sort of brilliant starlight -- but it is not
dependent on them; worlds like Jerusem are not subject
to the vicissitudes of sun disturbances, neither are
they confronted with the problem of a cooling or dying
sun.
46:1.9
The seven transitional study worlds and their forty-nine
satellites are heated, lighted, energized, and watered
by the Jerusem technique.
2. PHYSICAL FEATURES OF JERUSEM
46:2.1
On Jerusem you will miss the rugged mountain ranges of
Urantia and other evolved worlds since there are neither
earthquakes nor rainfalls, but you will enjoy the
beauteous highlands and other unique variations of
topography and landscape. Enormous areas of Jerusem are
preserved in a "natural state," and the grandeur of such
districts is quite beyond the powers of human
imagination.
46:2.2
There are thousands upon thousands of small lakes but no
raging rivers nor expansive oceans. There is no
rainfall, neither storms nor blizzards, on any of the
architectural worlds, but there is the daily
precipitation of the condensation of moisture during the
time of lowest temperature attending the light
recession. (The dew point is higher on a three-gas world
than on a two-gas planet like Urantia.) The physical
plant life and the morontia world of living things both
require moisture, but this is largely supplied by the
subsoil system of circulation which extends all over the
sphere, even up to the very tops of the highlands. This
water system is not entirely subsurface, for there are
many canals interconnecting the sparkling lakes of
Jerusem.
46:2.3
The atmosphere of Jerusem is a three-gas mixture. This
air is very similar to that of Urantia with the addition
of a gas adapted to the respiration of the morontia
order of life. This third gas in no way unfits the air
for the respiration of animals or plants of the material
orders.
46:2.4
The transportation system is allied with the circulatory
streams of energy movement, these main energy currents
being located at ten-mile intervals. By adjustment of
physical mechanisms the material beings of the planet
can proceed at a pace varying from two to five hundred
miles per hour. The transport birds fly at about one
hundred miles an hour. The air mechanisms of the
Material Sons travel around five hundred miles per hour.
Material and early morontia beings must utilize these
mechanical means of transport, but spirit personalities
proceed by liaison with the superior forces and spirit
sources of energy.
46:2.5
Jerusem and its associated worlds are endowed with the
ten standard divisions of physical life characteristic
of the architectural spheres of Nebadon. And since there
is no organic evolution on Jerusem, there are no
conflicting forms of life, no struggle for existence, no
survival of the fittest. Rather is there a creative
adaptation which foreshadows the beauty, the harmony,
and the perfection of the eternal worlds of the central
and divine universe. And in all this creative perfection
there is the most amazing intermingling of physical and
of morontia life, artistically contrasted by the
celestial artisans and their fellows.
46:2.6
Jerusem is indeed a foretaste of paradisiacal glory and
grandeur. But you can never hope to gain an adequate
idea of these glorious architectural worlds by any
attempted description. There is so little that can be
compared with aught on your world, and even then the
things of Jerusem so transcend the things of Urantia
that the comparison is almost grotesque. Until you
actually arrive on Jerusem, you can hardly entertain
anything like a true concept of the heavenly worlds, but
that is not so long a time in the future when your
coming experience on the system capital is compared with
your sometime arrival on the more remote training
spheres of the universe, the superuniverse, and of
Havona.
46:2.7
The manufacturing or laboratory sector of Jerusem is an
extensive domain, one which Urantians would hardly
recognize since it has no smoking chimneys;
nevertheless, there is an intricate material economy
associated with these special worlds, and there is a
perfection of mechanical technique and physical
achievement which would astonish and even awe your most
experienced chemists and inventors. Pause to consider
that this first world of detention in the Paradise
journey is far more material than spiritual. Throughout
your stay on Jerusem and its transition worlds you are
far nearer your earth life of material things than your
later life of advancing spirit existence.
46:2.8
Mount Seraph is the highest elevation on Jerusem, almost
fifteen thousand feet, and is the point of departure for
all transport seraphim. Numerous mechanical developments
are used in providing initial energy for escaping the
planetary gravity and overcoming the air resistance. A
seraphic transport departs every three seconds of
Urantia time throughout the light period and, sometimes,
far into the recession. The transporters take off at
about twenty-five standard miles per second of Urantia
time and do not attain standard velocity until they are
over two thousand miles away from Jerusem.
46:2.9
Transports arrive on the crystal field, the so-called
sea of glass. Around this area are the receiving
stations for the various orders of beings who traverse
space by seraphic transport. Near the polar crystal
receiving station for student visitors you may ascend
the pearly observatory and view the immense relief map
of the entire headquarters planet.
3. THE JERUSEM BROADCASTS
46:3.1
The superuniverse and Paradise-Havona broadcasts are
received on Jerusem in liaison with Salvington and by a
technique involving the polar crystal, the sea of glass.
In addition to provisions for the reception of these
extra-Nebadon communications, there are three distinct
groups of receiving stations. These separate but
tricircular groups of stations are adjusted to the
reception of broadcasts from the local worlds, from the
constellation headquarters, and from the capital of the
local universe. All these broadcasts are automatically
displayed so as to be discernible by all types of beings
present in the central broadcast amphitheater; of all
preoccupations for an ascendant mortal on Jerusem, none
is more engaging and engrossing than that of listening
in on the never-ending stream of universe space reports.
46:3.2
This Jerusem broadcast-receiving station is encircled by
an enormous amphitheater, constructed of scintillating
materials largely unknown on Urantia and seating over
five billion beings -- material and morontia -- besides
accommodating innumerable spirit personalities. It is
the favorite diversion for all Jerusem to spend their
leisure at the broadcast station, there to learn of the
welfare and state of the universe. And this is the only
planetary activity which is not slowed down during the
recession of light.
46:3.3
At this broadcast-receiving amphitheater the Salvington
messages are coming in continuously. Near by, the
Edentia word of the Most High Constellation Fathers is
received at least once a day. Periodically the regular
and special broadcasts of Uversa are relayed through
Salvington, and when Paradise messages are in reception,
the entire population is assembled around the sea of
glass, and the Uversa friends add the reflectivity
phenomena to the technique of the Paradise broadcast so
that everything heard becomes visible. And it is in this
manner that continual foretastes of advancing beauty and
grandeur are afforded the mortal survivors as they
journey inward on the eternal adventure.
46:3.4
The Jerusem sending station is located at the opposite
pole of the sphere. All broadcasts to the individual
worlds are relayed from the system capitals except the
Michael messages, which sometimes go direct to their
destinations over the archangels' circuit.
4. RESIDENTIAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE AREAS
46:4.1
Considerable 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:
1. The circles
-- the nonnative residential areas.
2. The squares
-- the system executive-administrative areas.
3. The rectangles
-- the rendezvous of the lower native life.
4. The triangles
-- the local or Jerusem administrative areas.
46:4.2
This 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.
46:4.3
Our 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.
46:4.4
The 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.
46:4.5
Jerusem 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.
5. THE JERUSEM CIRCLES
46:5.1
The residential reservations assigned to the major
groups of universe life are designated the Jerusem
circles. Those circle groups which find mention in these
narratives are the following:
1. The circles of the Sons of God.
2. The circles of the angels and higher spirits.
3. The circles of the Universe Aids, including the
creature-trinitized sons not assigned to the Trinity
Teacher Sons.
4. The circles of the Master Physical Controllers.
5. The circles of the assigned ascending mortals,
including the midway creatures.
6. The circles of the courtesy colonies.
7. The circles of the Corps of the Finality.
46:5.2
Each of these residential groupings consists of seven
concentric and successively elevated circles. They are
all constructed along the same lines but are of
different sizes and are fashioned of differing
materials. They are all surrounded by far-reaching
enclosures, which mount up to form extensive promenades
entirely encompassing every group of seven concentric
circles.
46:5.3
1. Circles of the
Sons of God. Though the Sons of God possess a social
planet of their own, one of the transitional-culture
worlds, they also occupy these extensive domains on
Jerusem. On their transitional-culture world the
ascending mortals freely mingle with all orders of
divine sonship. There you will personally know and love
these Sons, but their social life is largely confined to
this special world and its satellites. In the Jerusem
circles, however, these various groups of sonship may be
observed at work. And since morontia vision is of
enormous range, you can walk about on the Sons'
promenades and overlook the intriguing activities of
their numerous orders.
46:5.4
These seven circles of the Sons are concentric and
successively elevated so that each of the outer and
larger circles overlooks the inner and smaller ones,
each being surrounded by a public promenade wall. These
walls are constructed of crystal gems of gleaming
brightness and are so elevated as to overlook all of
their respective residential circles. The many gates --
from fifty to one hundred and fifty thousand -- which
penetrate each of these walls consist of single pearly
crystals.
46:5.5
The first circle of the domain of the Sons is occupied
by the Magisterial Sons and their personal staffs. Here
center all of the plans and immediate activities of the
bestowal and adjudicational services of these juridical
Sons. It is also through this center that the Avonals of
the system maintain contact with the universe.
46:5.6
The second circle is occupied by the Trinity Teacher
Sons. In this sacred domain the Daynals and their
associates carry forward the training of the newly
arrived primary Teacher Sons. And in all of this work
they are ably assisted by a division of certain
co-ordinates of the Brilliant Evening Stars. The
creature-trinitized sons occupy a sector of the Daynal
circle. The Trinity Teacher Sons come the nearest to
being the personal representatives of the Universal
Father in a local system; they are at least
Trinity-origin beings. This second circle is a domain of
extraordinary interest to all the peoples of Jerusem.
46:5.7
The third circle is devoted to the Melchizedeks. Here
the system chiefs reside and supervise the almost
endless activities of these versatile Sons. From the
first of the mansion worlds on through all the Jerusem
career of ascending mortals, the Melchizedeks are foster
fathers and ever-present advisers. It would not be amiss
to say that they are the dominant influence on Jerusem
aside from the ever-present activities of the Material
Sons and Daughters.
46:5.8
The fourth circle is the home of the Vorondadeks and all
other orders of the visiting and observer Sons who are
not otherwise provided for. The Most High Constellation
Fathers take up their abode in this circle when on
visits of inspection to the local system. Perfectors of
Wisdom, Divine Counselors, and Universal Censors all
reside in this circle when on duty in the system.
46:5.9
The fifth circle is the abode of the Lanonandeks, the
sonship order of the System Sovereigns and the Planetary
Princes. The three groups mingle as one when at home in
this domain. The system reserves are held in this
circle, while the System Sovereign has a temple situated
at the center of the governing group of structures on
administration hill.
46:5.10
The sixth circle is the tarrying place of the system
Life Carriers. All orders of these Sons are here
assembled, and from here they go forth on their world
assignments.
46:5.11
The seventh circle is the rendezvous of the ascending
sons, those assigned mortals who may be temporarily
functioning on the system headquarters, together with
their seraphic consorts. All ex-mortals above the status
of Jerusem citizens and below that of finaliters are
reckoned as belonging to the group having its
headquarters in this circle.
46:5.12
These circular reservations of the Sons occupy an
enormous area, and until nineteen hundred years ago
there existed a great open space at its center. This
central region is now occupied by the Michael memorial,
completed some five hundred years ago. Four hundred and
ninety-five years ago, when this temple was dedicated,
Michael was present in person, and all Jerusem heard the
touching story of the Master Son's bestowal on Urantia,
the least of Satania. The Michael memorial is now the
center of all activities embraced in the modified
management of the system occasioned by Michael's
bestowal, including most of the more recently
transplanted Salvington activities. The memorial staff
consists of over one million personalities.
46:5.13
2. The circles of
the angels. Like the residential area of the Sons,
these circles of the angels consist of seven concentric
and successively elevated circles, each overlooking the
inner areas.
46:5.14
The first circle of the angels is occupied by the Higher
Personalities of the Infinite Spirit who may be
stationed on the headquarters world -- Solitary
Messengers and their associates. The second circle is
dedicated to the messenger hosts, Technical Advisers,
companions, inspectors, and recorders as they may chance
to function on Jerusem from time to time. The third
circle is held by the ministering spirits of the higher
orders and groupings.
46:5.15
The fourth circle is held by the administrator seraphim,
and the seraphim serving in a local system like Satania
are an "innumerable host of angels." The fifth circle is
occupied by the planetary seraphim, while the sixth is
the home of the transition ministers. The seventh circle
is the tarrying sphere of certain unrevealed orders of
seraphim. The recorders of all these groups of angels do
not sojourn with their fellows, being domiciled in the
Jerusem temple of records. All records are preserved in
triplicate in this threefold hall of archives. On a
system headquarters, records are always preserved in
material, in morontia, and in spirit form.
46:5.16
These seven circles are surrounded by the exhibit
panorama of Jerusem, five thousand standard miles in
circumference, which is devoted to the presentation of
the advancing status of the peopled worlds of Satania
and is constantly revised so as to truly represent
up-to-date conditions on the individual planets. I doubt
not that this vast promenade overlooking the circles of
the angels will be the first sight of Jerusem to claim
your attention when you are permitted extended leisure
on your earlier visits.
46:5.17
These exhibits are in charge of the native life of
Jerusem, but they are assisted by the ascenders from the
various Satania worlds who are tarrying on Jerusem en
route to Edentia. The portrayal of planetary conditions
and world progress is effected by many methods, some
known to you, but mostly by techniques unknown on
Urantia. These exhibits occupy the outer edge of this
vast wall. The remainder of the promenade is almost
entirely open, being highly and magnificently
embellished.
46:5.18
3. The circles of
the Universe Aids have the headquarters of the
Evening Stars situated in the enormous central space.
Here is located the system headquarters of Galantia, the
associate head of this powerful group of superangels,
being the first commissioned of all the ascendant
Evening Stars. This is one of the most magnificent of
all the administrative sectors of Jerusem, even though
it is among the more recent constructions This center is
fifty miles in diameter. The Galantia headquarters is a
monolithic cast crystal, wholly transparent. These
material-morontia crystals are greatly appreciated by
both morontia and material beings. The created Evening
Stars exert their influence all over Jerusem, being
possessed of such extrapersonality attributes. The
entire world has been rendered spiritually fragrant
since so many of their activities were transferred here
from Salvington.
46:5.19
4. The circles of
the Master Physical Controllers. The various orders
of the Master Physical Controllers are concentrically
arranged around the vast temple of power, wherein
presides the power chief of the system in association
with the chief of the Morontia Power Supervisors. This
temple of power is one of two sectors on Jerusem where
ascending mortals and midway creatures are not
permitted. The other one is the dematerializing sector
in the area of the Material Sons, a series of
laboratories wherein the transport seraphim transform
material beings into a state quite like that of the
morontia order of existence.
46:5.20
5. The circles of
the ascending mortals. The central area of the
circles of the ascending mortals is occupied by a group
of 619 planetary memorials representative of the
inhabited worlds of the system, and these structures
periodically undergo extensive changes. It is the
privilege of the mortals from each world to agree, from
time to time, upon certain of the alterations or
additions to their planetary memorials. Many changes are
even now being made in the Urantia structures. The
center of these 619 temples is occupied by a working
model of Edentia and its many worlds of ascendant
culture. This model is forty miles in diameter and is an
actual reproduction of the Edentia system, true to the
original in every detail.
46:5.21
Ascenders enjoy their Jerusem services and take pleasure
in observing the techniques of other groups. Everything
done in these various circles is open to the full
observation of all Jerusem.
46:5.22
The activities of such a world are of three distinct
varieties: work, progress, and play. Stated otherwise,
they are: service, study, and relaxation. The composite
activities consist of social intercourse, group
entertainment, and divine worship. There is great
educational value in mingling with diverse groups of
personalities, orders very different from one's own
fellows.
46:5.23
6. The circles of
the courtesy colonies. The seven circles of the
courtesy colonies are graced by three enormous
structures: the vast astronomic observatory of Jerusem,
the gigantic art gallery of Satania, and the immense
assembly hall of the reversion directors, the theater of
morontia activities devoted to rest and recreation.
46:5.24
The celestial artisans direct the spornagia and provide
the host of creative decorations and monumental
memorials which abound in every place of public
assembly. The studios of these artisans are among the
largest and most beautiful of all the matchless
structures of this wonderful world. The other courtesy
colonies maintain extensive and beautiful headquarters.
Many of these buildings are constructed wholly of
crystal gems. All the architectural worlds abound in
crystals and the so-called precious metals.
46:5.25
7. The circles of
the finaliters have a unique structure at the
center. And this same vacant temple is found on every
system headquarters world throughout Nebadon. This
edifice on Jerusem is sealed with the insignia of
Michael, and it bears this inscription: "Undedicated to
the seventh stage of spirit -- to the eternal
assignment." Gabriel placed the seal on this temple of
mystery, and none but Michael can or may break the seal
of sovereignty affixed by the Bright and Morning Star.
Some day you shall look upon this silent temple, even
though you may not penetrate its mystery.
46:5.26
Other Jerusem
circles: In addition to these residential circles
there are on Jerusem numerous additional designated
abodes.
6. THE EXECUTIVE-ADMINISTRATIVE SQUARES
46:6.1
The executive-administrative divisions of the system are
located in the immense departmental squares, one
thousand in number. Each administrative unit is divided
into one hundred subdivisions of ten subgroups each.
These one thousand squares are clustered in ten grand
divisions, thus constituting the following ten
administrative departments:
1. Physical maintenance and material improvement, the
domains of physical power and energy.
2. Arbitration, ethics, and administrative adjudication.
3. Planetary and local affairs.
4. Constellation and universe affairs.
5. Education and other Melchizedek activities.
6. Planetary and system physical progress, the
scientific domains of Satania activities.
7. Morontia affairs.
8. Pure spirit activities and ethics.
9. Ascendant ministry.
10. Grand universe philosophy.
46:6.2
These structures are transparent; hence all system
activities can be viewed even by student visitors.
7. THE RECTANGLES -- THE SPORNAGIA
46:7.1
The one thousand
rectangles of Jerusem are occupied by the lower
native life of the headquarters planet, and at their
center is situated the vast circular headquarters of the
spornagia.
46:7.2
On Jerusem you will be amazed by the agricultural
achievements of the wonderful spornagia. There the land
is cultivated largely for aesthetic and ornamental
effects. The spornagia are the landscape gardeners of
the headquarters worlds, and they are both original and
artistic in their treatment of the open spaces of
Jerusem. They utilize both animals and numerous
mechanical contrivances in the culture of the soil. They
are intelligently expert in the employment of the power
agencies of their realms as well as in the utilization
of numerous orders of their lesser brethren of the lower
animal creations, many of which are provided them on
these special worlds. This order of animal life is now
largely directed by the ascending midway creatures from
the evolutionary spheres.
46:7.3
Spornagia are not Adjuster indwelt. They do not possess
survival souls, but they do enjoy long lives, sometimes
to the extent of forty to fifty thousand standard years.
Their number is legion, and they afford physical
ministry to all orders of universe personalities
requiring material service.
46:7.4
Although spornagia neither possess nor evolve survival
souls, though they do not have personality,
nevertheless, they do evolve an individuality which can
experience reincarnation. When, with the passing of
time, the physical bodies of these unique creatures
deteriorate from usage and age, their creators, in
collaboration with the Life Carriers, fabricate new
bodies in which the old spornagia re-establish their
residences.
46:7.5
Spornagia are the only creatures in all the universe of
Nebadon who experience this or any other sort of
reincarnation. They are only reactive to the first five
of the adjutant mind-spirits; they are not responsive to
the spirits of worship and wisdom. But the five-adjutant
mind equivalates to a totality or sixth reality level,
and it is this factor which persists as an experiential
identity.
46:7.6
I am quite without comparisons in undertaking to
describe these useful and unusual creatures as there are
no animals on the evolutionary worlds comparable to
them. They are not evolutionary beings, having been
projected by the Life Carriers in their present form and
status. They are bisexual and procreate as they are
required to meet the needs of a growing population.
46:7.7
Perhaps I can best suggest to Urantia minds something of
the nature of these beautiful and serviceable creatures
by saying that they embrace the combined traits of a
faithful horse and an affectionate dog and manifest an
intelligence exceeding that of the highest type of
chimpanzee. And they are very beautiful, as judged by
the physical standards of Urantia. They are most
appreciative of the attentions shown them by the
material and semimaterial sojourners on these
architectural worlds. They have a vision which permits
them to recognize -- in addition to material beings --
the morontia creations, the lower angelic orders, midway
creatures, and some of the lower orders of spirit
personalities. They do not comprehend worship of the
Infinite, nor do they grasp the import of the Eternal,
but they do, through affection for their masters, join
in the outward spiritual devotions of their realms.
46:7.8
There are those who believe that, in a future universe
age, these faithful spornagia will escape from their
animal level of existence and attain a worthy
evolutional destiny of progressive intellectual growth
and even spiritual achievement.
8. THE JERUSEM TRIANGLES
46:8.1
The 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.
46:8.2
When Satania can return to the constellation fold, then
will come up for consideration the readmission of the
isolated worlds into the system family of inhabited
planets, accompanied by their restoration to the
spiritual communion of the realms. But even if Urantia
were restored to the system circuits, you would still be
embarrassed by the fact that your whole system rests
under a Norlatiadek quarantine partially segregating it
from all other systems.
46:8.3
But ere long, the adjudication of Lucifer and his
associates will restore the Satania system to the
Norlatiadek constellation, and subsequently, Urantia and
the other isolated spheres will be restored to the
Satania circuits, and again will such worlds enjoy the
privileges of interplanetary communication and
intersystem communion.
46:8.4
There will come an end for rebels and rebellion. The
Supreme Rulers are merciful and patient, but the law of
deliberately nourished evil is universally and
unerringly executed. "The wages of sin is death" --
eternal obliteration.
46:8.5
Presented by an Archangel of Nebadon.
