Paper 43
The Constellations
Introduction
1Urantia is commonly referred to as 606 of Satania in Norlatiadek of Nebadon, meaning the six hundred sixth inhabited world in the local system of Satania, situated in the constellation of Norlatiadek, one of the one hundred constellations of the local universe of Nebadon. Constellations being the primary divisions of a local universe, their rulers link the local systems of inhabited worlds to the central administration of the local universe on Salvington and by reflectivity to the superadministration of the Ancients of Days on Uversa.
- Ancients of Days › by reflectivity see both ways, know both ways, co-ordinate both ways
- constellations › autonomous primary units of local universe
- constellations › ours is Norlatiadek
- Edentia › headquarters of Norlatiadek, our constellation
- local systems › headquarters spheres › linked by reflectivity to Ancients of Days
- reflectivity › links local systems to Ancients of Days
- Satania › Urantia is planet 606 of
- Urantia › status › 606th inhabited planet of Satania in Norlatiadek of Nebadon
2The government of your constellation is situated in a cluster of 771 architectural spheres, the centermost and largest of which is Edentia, the seat of the administration of the Constellation Fathers, the Most Highs of Norlatiadek. Edentia itself is approximately one hundred times as large as your world. The seventy major spheres surrounding Edentia are about ten times the size of Urantia, while the ten satellites which revolve around each of these seventy worlds are about the size of Urantia. These 771 architectural spheres are quite comparable in size to those of other constellations.
- constellations › headquarters spheres are comparable to Edentia with 770 satellites and subsatellites
- Edentia › description › 70 major satellites are 10 times size of Urantia; 700 subsatellites are size of Urantia
- Edentia › description › E. is 100 times larger than Urantia
- Edentia › headquarters of Norlatiadek, our constellation
- Edentia › seat of Constellation Fathers, Most Highs of Norlatiadek
- Most Highs of Norlatiadek › headquarters on Edentia
3Edentia time reckoning and distance measurement are those of Salvington, and like the spheres of the universe capital, the constellation headquarters worlds are fully supplied with all orders of celestial intelligences. In general, these personalities are not very different from those described in connection with the universe administration.
4The supervisor seraphim, the third order of local universe angels, are assigned to the service of the constellations. They make their headquarters on the capital spheres and minister extensively to the encircling morontia-training worlds. In Norlatiadek the seventy major spheres, together with the seven hundred minor satellites, are inhabited by the univitatia, the permanent citizens of the constellation. All these architectural worlds are fully administered by the various groups of native life, for the greater part unrevealed but including the efficient spironga and the beautiful spornagia. Being the mid-point in the morontia-training regime, as you might suspect, the morontia life of the constellations is both typical and ideal.
- constellations › supervisor seraphim, univitatia, spironga, and spornagia assigned to
- spironga › function from mansion world #2 onward; inhabit constellations
- spornagia › beautiful s. inhabit constellations, local systems
- supervisor seraphim › assigned to constellations
- univitatia › permanent population of constellation headquarters worlds
