"We speak of that surface of Paradise which is occupied with personality activities as the upper side, and the opposite surface as the nether side. The periphery of Paradise provides for activities that are not strictly personal or nonpersonal." |

"This staggering number of residential designations on Paradise, a number beyond your concept, occupies considerably less than one per cent of the assigned area of the Holy Land. There is still plenty of room for those who are on their way inward, even for those who shall not start the Paradise climb until the times of the eternal future." |

| Classifications of Space Motion | |
| Level | |
| 1 | Primary motion--space respiration, the motion of space itself. |
| 2 | Secondary motion--the alternate directional swings of the successive space levels. |
| 3 | Relative motions--relative in the sense that they are not evaluated with Paradise as a base point. Primary and secondary motions are absolute, motion in relation to unmoving Paradise. |
| 4 | Compensatory or correlating movement designed to co-ordinate all other motions. |
|
"Space is, from the human viewpoint, nothing--negative; it exists only as related to something positive and nonspatial. Space is, however, real. It contains and conditions motion. It even moves." |

| The Paradise-Havona System | |
| Seven space Conditions and Motions [1] | |
| 1. | The quiescent midspace zones impinging on Paradise. |
| 2. | The clockwise processional of the three Paradise and the seven Havona circuits. |
| 3. | The semiquiet space zone separating the Havona circuits from the dark gravity bodies of the central universe. |
| 4. | The inner, counterclockwise-moving belt of the dark gravity bodies. |
| 5. | The second unique space zone dividing the two space paths of the dark gravity bodies. |
| 6. | The outer belt of dark gravity bodies, revolving clockwise around Paradise. |
| 7. | A third space zone — a semiquiet zone — separating the outer belt of dark gravity bodies from the innermost circuits of the seven superuniverses. |
| [1] "From the periphery of Paradise to the inner borders of the seven superuniverses..." | |

| Dark Gravity Belts - Ratios | ||||
| Zone | Diameter | Base Size Scenarios [3] | ||
| Space Zone [1] | ||||
| Inner Dark Gravity Belts (counterclockwise) |
Inner Tube | 1/3 x | 1.67 in | 1.67 mm |
| Middle Tube | 2/3 x | 3.33 in | 3.33 mm | |
| Outer Tube | x | 5 in | 5.00 mm | |
| Unique Space Zone | "enormous wave movements of an up-and-down nature..." "permeated by tremendous energy activities of an unknown order." |

| Outer Dark Gravity Belt (clockwise) |
Up Down | 10,000 x | 4167 ft | 50 meters |
| Transverse | 1/5 x | 1 in | 1 mm | |
| Space Zone [2] | ||||
| [1]
This is the space zone between the Havona worlds and the inner dark gravity bodies. [2] This is the space zone between the outer dark gravity bodies and the superuniverse level. [3] The base sizes - 1 inch and 1 mm are used to illustrate structural proportions, not actual sizes. Proportions are indicated by this passage: |

"The inner procession of dark gravity bodies is tubular in arrangement, consisting of three circular groupings. A cross section of this circuit would exhibit three concentric circles of about equal density. The outer circuit of dark gravity bodies is arranged perpendicularly, being ten thousand times higher than the inner circuit. The up-and-down diameter of the outer circuit is fifty thousand times that of the transverse diameter." |

| Sources of Confusion for Urantian Star Observers | |
| Multiple Revolutionary Movements | |
| 1 | The revolution of Urantia around its sun. |
| 2 | The circuit of your solar system about the nucleus of the former Andronover nebula. |
| 3 | The rotation of the Andronover stellar family and the associated clusters about the composite rotation-gravity center of the star cloud of Nebadon. |
| 4 | The swing of the local star cloud of Nebadon and its associated creations around the Sagittarius center of their minor sector. |
| 5 | The rotation of the one hundred minor sectors, including Sagittarius, about their major sector. |
| 6 | The whirl of the ten major sectors, the so-called star drifts, about the Uversa headquarters of Orvonton. |
| 7 | The movement of Orvonton and six associated superuniverses around Paradise and Havona, the counterclockwise processional of the superuniverse space level. |
|
"These multiple motions are of several orders: The space paths of your planet and your solar system are genetic, inherent in origin. The absolute counterclockwise motion of Orvonton is also genetic, inherent in the architectural plans of the master universe. But the intervening motions are of composite origin, being derived in part from the constitutive segmentation of matter-energy into the superuniverses and in part produced by the intelligent and purposeful action of the Paradise force organizers." |

"The Architects of the Master Universe are the governing corps of the Paradise Transcendentalers. This governing corps numbers 28,011 personalities possessing master minds, superb spirits, and supernal absonites. The presiding officer of this magnificent group, the senior Master Architect, is the co-ordinating head of all Paradise intelligences below the level of Deity." |
