Welcoming Celebration
The reception
Of a new class
Of mansion world graduates
Signals all Jerusem to
assemble
As a committee of welcome.
Every one celebrates
The arrival of the
Triumphant ascenders
Of evolutionary origin
Who have run the planetary
race
And finished
The mansion world progression.
The Apostle,
Paul, had a vision
Of the ascendant-citizen corps
Of perfecting mortals on Jerusem.
He wrote: "But you have come
To Mount Zion
and to the city
Of the living God,
The heavenly Jerusalem,
And to an innumerable company of angels,
To the grand assembly of Michael,
And to the spirits of just men
Being made perfect."
Living Quarters
Residential groupings
On Jerusem
Consist of seven concentric
And successively elevated circles.
All are constructed
Along the same lines
But are of different sizes
And fashioned of differing materials.
All seven circles are surrounded
By extensive unroofed enclosures.
These mount up
To form extensive decks
For leisurely strolling.
Agondonters
On Jerusem
Ascenders from the isolated worlds
Such as Earth
Occupy a residential sector
By themselves.
They are known as the agondonters,
Meaning evolutionary will creatures
Who can believe without seeing,
Persevere when isolated,
And triumph over insuperable difficulties
Even when alone.
This functional grouping
Of the agondonters persists
Throughout the ascension
Of the local universe.
During the traversal
Of the Super Universe
And the Central Universe,
It disappears.
It reappears
Upon the attainment of Paradise.
Agondonter differentiation
Also persists
In the Corps of the Mortal Finality.
Such rewards set the individual apart
Providing a degree of difference
Of creature experience
That contributes to the versatility
Of ultimate performances
In the collective body
Of the finaliters.
Cosmic Morality
On the mansion worlds,
Ascenders learned
Self-government
For the benefit of all concerned.
Working with other and wiser beings,
They learned cooperation -
How to plan
And work in common
With commonly agreed upon goals
And methods
Instead of working separately
In competition.
On Jerusem,
The seraphic teachers
Further quicken ascender appreciation
Of cosmic morality –
The interaction of liberty
and loyalty.
Patience and Diligence
The Jerusem guides
Also teach the ascenders
The fruitfulness of patience.
Upward progress
In the morontia and spirit worlds
Is slow and by gradual stages.
While stagnation
Is certain death,
Over rapid growth
Is equally suicidal.
Life on Earth
Is a single link
In the long chain
That stretches across universes
And through the eternal ages.
All the work experiences
Gained in living a life
Are not nearly as important
As the way in which an ascender
Does the work.
Descending Sons
The locale of the material sons
(The Adams and Eves),
Is the center of attraction
To all new arrivals on Jerusem.
It is an enormous area
Consisting of one thousand centers.
Each family
Of Material Sons and Daughters
Lives on an estate
Of its own
Until the time of the departure
Of its members for service
On the evolutionary worlds
Of space
Or until their embarkation
Upon the Paradise-ascension career.
Recreation
Residents of Jerusem
Are often entertained
By Celestial Musicians.
With their limited range of hearing,
Mortals cannot conceive
Of morontia melodies.
There is even a material
range
Of beautiful sound
Unrecognized by the human sense
Of hearing.
Spirit melodies
Are not material sound waves
But spirit pulsations received
By the spirits of celestial personalities.
There is a vastness of range
And a soul of expression,
As well as a grandeur of execution,
Associated with the melody of the spheres,
That is wholly beyond human comprehension.
Millions are held in sublime ecstasy
While the melody of the realm
Rolls in upon the spirit energy
Of the celestial circuits.
Types of Music
There are over one hundred thousand
Different modes of sound,
Color and energy manipulation.
The techniques are analogous
To the human employment
Of musical instruments.
The dance ensembles of Earth,
For Instance,
Are a crude attempt
By mortals
To approach the celestial harmony
Of being placement
And personality arrangement.
Most forms of morontia
melody
Cannot be recognized
By the senses
Of material bodies.
The Power of Music
The people of Earth
Have not progressed
Nearly as far musically
As many neighboring planets
In the system of Satania.
If Adam and Eve had survived,
Earth would have had music in reality.
Some day a real musician
Will appear on Earth
To enthrall all people.
One such human
Could forever change the course
Of the entire civilized world
For it is literally true
that,
"Melody has power
A whole world to transform."
Music will always be
The universal language of men,
Angels, and spirits.
Music of the Spheres
The music of the spheres
Is a living reality.
Harmony is the very essence
Of the Cosmos.
By Music of the Spheres
Is meant the harmonious interrelation
Of all spiritual planes.
Every unit in the universe
Is in perfect accord one with the other.
All are functioning in perfect unison.
Every Sun and every Planet
Responds to the law of harmony.
The Cosmos as a whole
Is expressing a Divine Symphony.
When man’s spiritual progress
Attains the degree
Of enfoldment entitling
him
To possession
Of his Divine Heritage,
Then the sublime vibrations
Of the spheres will be a reality to him.
Jerusem Climate
The energy of Jerusem Is superbly
controlled. It circulates about the
sphere In zone channels.
The zone channels are fed directly From
the energy charges Of space and 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. The temperature during the period Of “light recession” Falls
to just below 50 degrees.
Lighting The
lighting of Jerusem Is uniformly maintained
For three-fourths of the Jerusem day.
There is then a gradual recession Until,
at the time of minimum illumination,
The light is about that Of
Earth's full moon on a clear night.
This is the quiet time for all
Jerusem. Only the broadcast receiving stations Are in operation During this period Of rest and rehabilitation.
Utopian Grandeur
Since there are no earthquakes on
Jerusem, There are no mountain ranges. Since there are no storms, There are no raging rivers Or expansive
oceans.
While the rugged natural features
Of the evolved worlds are missing,
Beauty is not absent on Jerusem.
Ascenders enjoy the beauteous highlands
And other unique variations Of topography and landscape.
Enormous areas of Jerusem Are
preserved In a natural undeveloped state.
The grandeur of these districts Is
quite beyond the powers Of human imagination.
Atmosphere
The atmosphere of Jerusem Is a
three-gas mixture.
This air is very similar To that
of Earth With the addition Of a third gas adapted To the respiration Of the morontia order of life.
The third gas in no way affects Its
suitability for the respiration
Of animals or plants Of
the material order of life.
Industry
Being an early milepost On
the Paradise journey, The basis for life in Jerusem Is still far more material
Than spiritual.
The manufacturing
Or laboratory sector
Of Jerusem is extensive.
While
it has no smoking chimneys, There is an intricate material economy
Associated with these special worlds.
There is a perfection Of mechanical
technique And physical achievement That would awe Earth's most experienced Chemists and inventors.
Cosmic Broadcasts
Super universe And Paradise-Havona
broadcasts Are received on Jerusem By a technique involving the polar crystal, The sea of glass.
There are three additional groups Of
receiving stations Adjusted for the reception Of broadcasts from the local worlds, From the constellation headquarters And
from the capital of the local universe.
All broadcasts are discernible By
all types of beings Present in the central broadcast amphitheater.
The amphitheater seats over five billion Material
and morontia beings And innumerable spirit personalities.
All Jerusem spends much leisure time At
the ampitheater to learn about the events Of the universe.
This is the only planetary activity That
is not slowed down During the recession of light.
Onward Through Edentia
On the mansion worlds, Ascenders
completed the unification Of the evolving mortal personality.
On the system capital They attained
Jerusem citizenship And achieved the willingness To submit the self to the disciplines Of group activities And
co-coordinated undertakings.
On the constellation training
worlds They strive to achieve The real socialization Of the evolving morontia
personality.
This spiritual cultural acquirement Consists
in learning how to Live happily and work effectively With ten very diverse fellow morontians.
Eventually, ten such groups Are
associated in companies Of one hundred Who abide joyfully And co-operate heartily While federated in corps
Of one thousand.
Cosmic Geography
The government of Earth's constellation, Norlatiadek, Is
situated in a cluster Of 771 architectural spheres.
The hub and largest of the spheres Is Edentia, Which
is the seat of the administration Of the Constellation Fathers, the Most Highs.
Edentia is approximately one hundred times Larger
than Earth. The seventy major spheres Surrounding Edentia Are about ten times the size of Earth.
The ten satellites that revolve around Each of
the seventy worlds Are about the same size as Earth.
These 771 architectural spheres Are quite comparable
in size To those of other constellations.
Ascender Training at the Local
Universe Level
The Melchizedeks, Known as the
"teacher sons," Occupy a world of their own near Salvington, The headquarters of the local universe.
This sphere, called "Melchizedek," Is
the pilot world of the Salvington circuit Of seventy primary spheres.
Each of the primary worlds Is encircled
by six tributary spheres Devoted to specialized activities.
These marvelous spheres - Seventy
primaries and 420 tributaries, Are referred to as the Melchizedek University.
Ascending mortals From all the
constellations of Nebadon Pass through training on all 490 worlds Before acquiring residential status on Salvington.
Education and Spiritualization
All evolutionary mortals Who graduate
from constellation training Land on the sphere, Melchizedek.
Here, ascenders are initiated Into
the regime of the disciplines And spirit progression Of the Salvington educational system.
Ascending mortals maintain residence On
the Melchizedek world While pursuing their training On the six encircling planets Of specialized education.
This same method is adhered to Throughout
the ascenders' sojourn On the seventy cultural worlds Of the primary spheres
Of the Salvington circuit.
Beyond the Local Universe
Far, far out, in the future, Spiritualized
mortal ascenders Finally reach the educational facilities Of the Minor and Major Sectors Of Super Universe Number
Seven.
The minor sector governments Are
presided over by three Recents of Days. Their administration is concerned mainly With the physical control, unification, Stabilization,
and routine co-ordination Of the administration of the component
Local universes.
Each minor sector embraces As many
as one hundred local universes, Ten thousand constellations, One million systems, Consisting of about one billion
Inhabitable worlds.
Minor sector headquarters worlds Are
surrounded by seven instruction spheres That constitute the entrance schools Of super universe seven.
They are the centers of training for
physical And administrative knowledge Concerning the universe of universes.
Minor Sector Education
Uminor the Third, The headquarters
of Earth's minor sector, Ensa, Is surrounded By seven instruction spheres.
On these seven spheres Ascenders
receive the higher physical
studies For the ascendant life.
These schools constitute the entrance
level Classes for the super universe.
Ascenders are provided with Physical, historical and administrative knowledge Concerning
the universe of universes.
Major Sector Education
Umajor the fifth, The headquarters
of Earth's major sector, Splandon, is surrounded By seventy spheres Of advanced intellectual training.
Just as the magnificent satellites Of
the capital of Super Universe Seven, Uversa, are concerned with the ascender's Final spiritual preparation For Havona, so the seventy
satellites Of Umajor the fifth Are devoted to the ascender's Super Universe intellectual training And development.
From all the Super Universe of Overton, Are
gathered wise beings Who labor untiringly To prepare the mortals of time For their further progress Towards
the career of eternity.
Education at the Super Universe
Level
Master Spirit Number Seven Personally
sponsors the progress Of the ascension candidates From the worlds of time In their attempts to achieve comprehension Of
the undivided Deity of Supremacy.
This comprehension involves a grasp Of
the existential sovereignty Of the Trinity of Supremacy Co-oordinated with a concept Of the growing experiential sovereignty Of
the Supreme Being Constituting a grasp of the unity of Supremacy For the creature ascender.
Creature realization of
these three factors Equals Havona comprehension of Trinity reality And endows the pilgrims of time with the
ability To eventually penetrate the Paradise Trinity And to discover the three infinite persons of Deity.
The Purpose of Havona
Succinctly stated, The purpose
of Havona is: The Father's Supreme enjoyment; The Eternal Son's Proof of partnership with the Father; The Infinite
Spirit's Proof of being the Conjoint Actor For the unified Father and Son; Proof of the spiritual reality Of the
Supreme Being's existence; Training worlds for the Creator Sons; Training worlds for Mother Spirits; Home of mortal
personality patterns.
Ascender Expectations
In their compelling reach for divine
love, Ascenders learn to feast upon uncertainty, Grow with disappointment, Invigorate in the presence of difficulty, To
exhibit courage in the face of immensity, And to exercise faith When confronted by challenge.
This leads ascenders to the: Realization
of the Master Spirit; Realization of the Supreme Being; Realization of the Paradise Hosts; Recognition of the Infinite
Spirit; Recognition of the Eternal Son; Recognition of the Universal Father; Preparation for Paradise residence.
In their educational process, Ascenders
learn that with God, Nothing is impossible.
Paradise Education
On Paradise, ascenders will happily
learn The meaning of the activities Of the Primary Supernaphim.
This highest order of angels Serve
in seven orders: The Conductors of Worship; The Masters of Philosophy; The Custodians of Knowledge; The Directors
of Conduct; The Interpreters of Ethics; The Chiefs of Assignment; And the Instigators of Rest.
