Spatial Structure from Paradise to the Outer Margins

Topical Lists compiled from the revelation. Click item for quote, click link for context.

I. Paradise — Stationary Nucleus

Paradise — definition
“…the only stationary thing in the universe of universes.” “…a universe location but no position in space.”
Form and dimensions
Ellipsoid, not spherical. N-S diameter 1/6 longer than E-W. Depth is 1/10 of E-W diameter. Essentially flat.
Absolute direction
Established by Paradise dimensions, stationary status, and greater force-energy out-pressure at the north end.
Center of gravity
Paradise alone is motionless — the sole fixed point in the entire master universe and the absolute center of gravity.

II. Quiescent Midspace Zones

Space and Paradise
“Space does not exist on any of the surfaces of Paradise.” “…the quiescent midspace zones come in contact with the central Isle.”
Nature of midspace zones
Relative extension of Paradise. Separate pervaded and unpervaded space. Lessened space motion, possibly some motion.
Growth pattern
Midspace zones widen progressively with distance from Paradise, ultimately enclosing the outermost borders of all space.
Former inter-level zones
Comparable zones formerly separated the space levels of pervaded space, though these inter-level regions have since become more active.

III. Paradise & Havona Circuits

Seven space conditions
From Paradise periphery to superuniverse borders: 7 distinct space conditions and motions. The master structural list.
Ten concentric units
One vast plane — 3 Paradise circuits + 7 Havona circuits. Not superimposed; worlds follow in orderly linear procession.
Havona arrangement
1 billion worlds in 7 concentric circuits. Innermost: 35+ million worlds. Outermost: 245+ million. Clockwise processional.
Eternal nucleus
“The Paradise-Havona System constitutes the perfect and eternal nucleus of the master universe.” All superuniverses and outer space revolve around it.

IV. Dark Gravity Bodies

1. Semiquiet Zone — Havona to DGB

SQ1 — definition
A nearly quiescent buffer zone between the Havona circuits and the dark gravity bodies. Third of the 7 space conditions listed in 14:1.1-8.
Properties of semiquiet zones
Immense elliptical bands where space activity is nearly still, serving as boundaries between the galaxy processions circling Paradise.

2. Inner Belt

Dark gravity bodies — definition
Unbelievable number of enormous masses beyond the seventh Havona circuit. Unlike other space bodies. Neither reflect nor absorb light. Hide Havona from view.
Two belts divided
A unique space intrusion splits the dark gravity bodies into two equal elliptical circuits — the inner revolving counterclockwise, the outer clockwise.
Inner belt configuration
Arranged as a tube of three circular groupings; a cross-sectional view reveals three concentric rings of roughly uniform density.
Mass and gravity function
Central creation mass (driven by DGB) far exceeds total known mass of all seven superuniverse sectors. Complements Paradise as center of absolute material gravity.

3. Intervening Zone

Unique zone — definition
The intervening space between the two DGB circuits. Nothing like it elsewhere in the universe. Enormous up-and-down wave movements, unknown energy activities.

4. Outer Belt

Outer belt configuration
Arranged perpendicularly. 10,000× higher than inner circuit. Up-and-down diameter is 50,000× the transverse diameter. Revolves clockwise.
Gravity equalization
Counter-rotating orbits combined with immense mass keep Havona gravity in equilibrium, rendering the central universe physically balanced and stable.
Unique in master universe
Nothing like the DGB will characterize the outer space levels. These gravity-balancing processions are unique in the master universe.

5. Semiquiet Zone — DGB to Superuniverses

SQ2 — definition
A nearly quiescent buffer between the outer dark gravity belt and the innermost superuniverse circuits. Seventh of the 7 space conditions (14:1.8).
Boundary significance
Marks the outer boundary of the central universe and the inner boundary of the superuniverse space level. The grand universe begins beyond this zone.

V. Superuniverse Space Level

Superuniverses — definition
“…not primary physical organizations.” “…geographic space clustering of approximately one seventh of the organized and partially inhabited post-Havona creation.”
Rotation
“The seven superuniverses revolve about Paradise in a counterclockwise direction.”
Grand universe defined
The present organized and inhabited creation. Seven superuniverses + central universe. Aggregate evolutionary potential: ~7 trillion inhabited planets.
Space respiration
The superuniverses and outer space regions alike undergo a two-billion-year expansion-contraction breathing cycle.

VI. Outer Space Levels

1. Semiquiet Zone — Superuniverses to OS1

SQ3 — dimensions
Averages ~400,000 light-years wide. Free from star dust — cosmic fog. A zone of comparative quiet between the superuniverse energy circuits and OS1.

2. First Outer Space Level

OS1 — location and extent
Detectable energy activity starts ~500,000 light-years past the grand universe edge, growing in scale and strength across 25+ million light-years as a continuous cosmic belt.
Rotation
OS1 revolves clockwise about the central creation — opposite to the counterclockwise superuniverses.
Visualization
Visualized as a galaxy procession orbiting Paradise, with midspace zones capping it vertically and semiquiet zones defining its inner and outer edges.
Spectroscopic unreliability
Spectroscopic reckonings for outer space are wholly unreliable. Apparent recession velocity is not real; results from multiple factors of error.

3. Second Outer Space Level

OS2 — detection
Force manifestations detected more than 50 million light-years beyond the outermost phenomena of OS1. Presages the material creations of the second outer space level.
Rotation
Appears to revolve counterclockwise about Paradise, like the seven superuniverses.

4. Third Outer Space Level

OS3 — directional evidence
Uversa astronomers believe they have found early signs of clockwise rotational movement in this third level.

5. Fourth Outer Space Level

OS4 — outermost space level
The outermost of the four space levels beyond the superuniverses, all of which are destined to realize the ultimate level of creation.
Pervaded space extent
Pervaded space reaches past OS4 and continues beyond the master universe periphery to an unknown distance.

VII. Space Motions & Rotation

Four classifications of motion
Primary (space respiration), secondary (alternate directional swings), relative (not evaluated with Paradise as base), compensatory (co-ordinating all others).
Alternate directions
OS1 clockwise. OS2 counterclockwise (like superuniverses). OS3 beginning clockwise tendencies. Superuniverses counterclockwise.
Purpose of alternation
Alternate zoning + alternate flow = stabilization of physical gravity, antigravity influence, brake on dangerous velocities.
Gravity technique
The alternating rotational directions across space levels reflect the Universal Absolute's gravity technique — a means of co-ordinating forces and balancing space tensions.

VIII. Gravity Distribution

Physical gravity — ~95% beyond organized universes
Only ~5% of active Paradise absolute-gravity functions within the grand universe. ~95% controls material systems beyond organized universes.
Spirit gravity — ~100% in grand universe
Practically all spirit gravity of the Eternal Son functions within the grand universe. Outer space is presently wholly nonspiritual.
Mind gravity — ~85% in grand universe
~85% of mind-gravity response originates in the grand universe. ~15% unaccounted for — suggests mind activities in outer space (force organizers).
Three-component gravity system
Paradise is the center and focal point. DGB complements Paradise gravity. Space reservoirs equilibrate the system.

IX. Outer Boundaries & Reservoirs

1. Midspace Encapsulation

Growing midspace zones
Quiescent midspace zones grow larger at greater distances from Paradise. They eventually encompass the borders of all space.
Total incapsulation
At their furthest extent, midspace zones fully enclose both the vertical unpervaded reservoirs and the horizontal plane of pervaded space.
Maltese cross cross-section
Vertical cross section of total space resembles a maltese cross. Horizontal arms = pervaded space. Vertical arms = unpervaded space. Midspace between the arms.

2. Unpervaded Space Reservoirs

Definition of unpervaded
Devoid of the forces and energies that characterize pervaded space. These reservoirs serve as counterweights during space respiration cycles.
Location and orientation
Vertical — above upper Paradise and below nether Paradise. Hourglass configuration when visualized in cross-section.
Equal extent
Unpervaded reservoirs extend vertically just as far as pervaded space extends horizontally — to and beyond the fourth outer space level. Currently approximately equidistant from Paradise.
Reciprocal respiration
When pervaded space expands, unpervaded space contracts, and vice versa. Confluence of both just underneath nether Paradise through transmuting regulation channels.
Current phase
Pervaded space approaching mid-point of expanding phase. Unpervaded space nearing mid-point of contracting phase.

X. Pervaded Space Geometry

Origin and nature
Paradise bestows space into existence. Throughout the grand universe and all outer regions, this space carries the ancestral potency of the Unqualified Absolute.
V-shaped plane
Pervaded space traces a vast V-shaped cross-section perpendicular to Paradise, its apex nearly touching the periphery, revolving elliptically outward through all space levels.
Space thickening
Upper and lower limits draw farther apart at greater distances from Paradise. Space thickens somewhat faster than does the plane of creation.
Six concentric ellipses
The master universe is existent in six concentric ellipses proceeding outward from Paradise: Havona, Superuniverses, OS1, OS2, OS3, OS4.
Physical universe of definite limits
Observable behavior constitutes evidence of a delimited universe. Space levels alternate with quiet zones — without this, cosmic energies would shoot off on infinite straight-line paths.
Space level defined
“An elliptical region of motion surrounded on all sides by relative motionlessness.” “A curved space path of lessened resistance universally followed by cosmic force and energy.”
