    Urantia Paper 15—The Seven Super Universes—§2. Organization of the Superuniverses
    2025/06/02
    On this episode of The Cosmic Citizen, we continued our study of Urantia Paper 15, The Seven Superuniverses, with a reading of reading Section 2: Organization of the Superuniverses.

    Paper 15 explores the vast cosmic structure surrounding the central universe of Havona, describing how the seven superuniverses move in an orderly counterclockwise procession around the Central Isle of Paradise, forming a grand cosmic wheel with Paradise at its hub.

    This week's study contains the basic cosmology of The Urantia Book, revealing the hierarchical structure of the superuniverses. It shows the structure of the cosmos as consisting of progressively larger administrative units:
    Local Systems – Each local system contains approximately 1,000 inhabitable worlds.
    Constellations – Each constellation is made up of 100 local systems or about 100,000 inhabitable planets.
    Local Universes – Each local universe holds 100 constellations or approximately 10 million inhabitable planets. (Our local universe, Nebadon, belongs to the seventh superuniverse, Orvonton.)
    Minor Sectors – Each minor sector consists of 100 local universes and about 1 billion inhabitable planets.
    Major Sectors – Each major sector contains 100 minor sectors and about 100 billion inhabitable worlds.
    Superuniverses – Each of the seven superuniverses is composed of ten major sectors, and approximately 1 trillion inhabitable worlds.
    The Grand Universe – Seven superuniverses make up the present organized grand universe, consisting of approximately seven trillion inhabitable worlds, plus the architectural spheres and the one billion inhabited spheres of Havona.

    We hope you enjoy this fascinating study from The Urantia Book.

  • Urantia Paper 15—The Seven Super Universes—§1. The Superuniverse Space Level

    Urantia Paper 15—The Seven Super Universes—§1. The Superuniverse Space Level
    2025/05/26
    This week on The Cosmic Citizen we beigan the study of a new Urantia Paper, Paper 15, THE SEVEN SUPERUNIVERSES.



    This paper explores the vast cosmic structure of the universe as described in The Urantia Book. It presents a grand vision of the seven superuniverses revolving around the great nuclear hub of the cosmos, the central Isle of Paradise.



    In this first study, we explored the concept that, from the perspective of the Universal Father, the universes are essentially nonexistent. God interacts with personalities rather than physical structures. The Eternal Son and Infinite Spirit govern the universes through their Creator Sons and Creative Spirits. The Paradise Trinity oversees the seven gigantic inhabited superuniverses that encircle Paradise and Havona in a vast cosmic wheel. The Seven Master Spirits radiate their influence outward, and this shapes the Grand Universe.



    We read Section 1. The Superuniverse Space Level, which reveals the orderly movement of the seven superuniverses as they traverse a massive elliptical orbit around the First Great Source and Center. While this local universe, and our planet Urantia, appear to be plunging into uncharted space, higher celestial records confirm that the universes follow a well-ordered procession. The seven superuniverses are engaged in a majestic cosmic dance, revolving in harmony around the divine center.



    Enjoy!

    Urantia Paper 14—The Central and Divine Universe—§6. The Purpose of the Central Universe - Continued
    2025/05/19
    On this episode of The Cosmic Citizen we finished our study of Urantia Paper 14. THE CENTRAL & DIVINE UNIVERSE, by studying the rest of Section 6. THE PURPOSE OF HAVONA.

    What a fantastic study of Paper 14 this was. Here is what we covered overall:

    At the very center of all creation lies a marvel beyond human imagination: the perfect and divine universe of Havona, containing one billion pristine worlds arranged in seven cosmic circuits around Paradise. Unlike our evolving universe, this eternal core represents the original pattern of perfection - a blueprint that the Creator Sons aspire to recreate throughout space and time, making it the ultimate template for all cosmic creation.

    The Central Universe, AKA Havona, serves as the grand design of existence. It is the perfect model for all Creation. It’s a universe that is replete, unlike the evolving universes that surround it. It is also the final training ground and the ultimate destination for those who ascend and seek divine perfection.


    Unlike the evolving and imperfect cosmic realms, Havona stands eternally complete. It is a divine masterpiece, and it serves as a sanctuary, a school, and a gateway to Paradise.

    Havona is also the ultimate training ground, a passageway for ascendant souls who seek wisdom and understanding. For all who journey inward from the farthest reaches of time and space, Havona brings them to the threshold of divinity.

    Beyond its role as a place of spiritual growth, Havona is also the residence of divine beings. The Universal Father, the Eternal Son, and the Infinite Spirit find their home in the realm beyond Havona, but this perfect universe serves as an essential bridge between the material worlds and Paradise. It is here that celestial personalities, messengers, and teachers refine their abilities and prepare to guide the evolving universes.


    Havona is the cosmic anchor and steady foundation upon which all creation rests. While imperfection and uncertainty may ripple through the evolving universes, Havona is the perfect blueprint for all of them. It is an example of what creation can become when harmony and truth reign supreme.

    Havona is more than a place, it’s a promise—a testament to the eternal, guiding presence of divine wisdom. It stands as a beacon for all beings who strive for perfection.

    This week on THE COSMIC CITIZEN we finished our study of Urantia Paper 14. THE CENTRAL AND DIVINE UNIVERSE, with a reading of Section 6. THE PURPOSE OF THE CENTAL UNIVERSE.

    The Central Universe, AKA Havona, serves as the grand design of existence. It is the perfect model for all Creation. It’s a universe that is replete, unlike the evolving universes that surround it. It is also the final training ground and the ultimate destination for those who ascend and seek divine perfection.

    In the grand design of existence, there exists a single, unchanging universe—Havona. Unlike the evolving and imperfect cosmic realms, Havona stands eternally complete. It is a divine masterpiece, and it serves as a sanctuary, a school, and a gateway to Paradise.

    Havona is also the ultimate training ground, a passageway for ascendant souls who seek wisdom and understanding. For all who journey inward from the farthest reaches of time and space, Havona brings them to the threshold of divinity.
    Beyond its role as a place of spiritual growth, Havona is also the residence of divine beings.

    2025/05/04
    This week on The Cosmic Citizen we continued our study of Urantia Paper 14—The Central and Divine Universe—§5. Life in Havona.


    This section describes the unique and extraordinary nature of existence in the central universe. Unlike the evolutionary worlds of time and space, Havona is a realm of absolute perfection, where life is inherently harmonious and free from the struggles of material existence.


    It explains that Havona inhabitants are diverse. They include native beings of the central universe, ascendant pilgrims from the evolutionary worlds, and various celestial personalities. These beings experience spiritual enlightenment, intellectual fulfillment, and supreme joy in their interactions. The perfect environment of Havona allows for continuous learning and growth and it prepares ascendant souls for their eventual approach to Paradise.


    This section also reveals that, unlike the material struggles of Urantia, life in Havona is characterized by stability, beauty, and divine purpose.

    Urantia Paper 14—The Central and Divine Universe—§4. Creatures of the Central Universe
    2025/04/27
    On this episode of The Cosmic Citizen, we continued our study of Urantia Paper 14. The Central and Divine Universe, with a reading of Section 4. Creatures of the Central Universe.

    This section describes the diverse forms of life in Havona, the perfect and eternal central universe. It teaches that seven basic types of beings exist there.

    Unlike life on the evolutionary worlds, decay and death do not exist in Havona. The natives of Havona were created by the Paradise Trinity. Their existence transcends human concepts of time and space, reflecting the eternal nature of the Paradise-Havona system.

    Havona natives participate in the physical and spiritual economy of the divine realm. While they serve as guides and ministers to beings ascending from the superuniverses or descending from Paradise, their own existence holds intrinsic significance beyond these interactions. Their worship and devotion fulfill the ideals of divine beauty and truth, mirroring God’s will by their very nature.

    The central universe is teeming with intelligent lifeforms seeking higher realizations of divinity, ultimate truth, and absolute reality.

  • Special Easter Edition: Urantia Paper 188—The Time of the Tomb—§4. & 5. The Meaning and Lessons of the Cross

    Special Easter Edition: Urantia Paper 188—The Time of the Tomb—§4. & 5. The Meaning and Lessons of the Cross
    2025/04/20
    In this episode we were going to continue exploring Paper 14, The Central and Divine Universe, with a discussion of Section 4. Creatures of the Central Universe. However, once we started this episode, upon reflection of the Easter holiday, it was suggested that we read instead the two sections from Urantia Paper 188, from The Life and Teachings of Jesus. So that is what we did. We will pick up our study of Paper 14 on our next episode.

    Here is a brief synopsis of what we studied:

    Section 4: Lessons from the Cross
    This section discusses the profound spiritual lessons derived from Jesus' crucifixion. It emphasizes the significance of Jesus' unwavering faith and trust in God's will. The narrative underscores the importance of understanding the deeper spiritual meanings behind the crucifixion, rather than focusing solely on the physical aspects of Jesus' suffering.

    Section 5: The Spirit of the Resurrection
    This section explores the spiritual implications of Jesus' resurrection. It describes how the resurrection symbolizes the triumph of spiritual values over physical death. The resurrection is portrayed as a powerful demonstration of the eternal nature of spiritual truth and the victory of divine love.

    These sections offer profound insights into the spiritual significance of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection, encouraging readers to contemplate the deeper meanings and lessons embedded in these pivotal events.

    Simply put, the conversation that we had about these sections was sublime.

    Urantia Paper 14—The Central and Divine Universe—§3. The Havona Worlds

    On this episode of The Cosmic Citizen, we continue exploring Urantia Paper 14, The Central and Divine Universe, with a reading of Section 3. The Havona Worlds.

    This section delves into the intricate organization and purpose of the billion spheres that constitute Havona. These worlds are arranged in seven concentric circuits, each with distinct characteristics, including variations in size, composition, and function.

    Each circuit is pervaded by a specialized representation of the Infinite Spirit, known as the Seven Spirits of the Circuits, which coordinate celestial affairs within their respective domains.

    The Havona worlds are described as being of unimaginable beauty and grandeur, serving as a model of divine perfection for the evolutionary universes. These worlds are not evolutionary but are instead created as part of the eternal and perfect central universe.

    The inhabitants of Havona are spiritually advanced beings who are perfectly attuned to the divine energies and realities of their environment.

    This section emphasizes the exquisite balance, harmony, and purpose of these worlds, which serve as a training ground for all ascending beings and a source of inspiration for the Creator Sons in their work throughout the universes.
