Paradise Isle Domains
	Domain	Activities
1.	Upper Paradise	Personal
2.	Peripheral Paradise	Not strictly personal or nonpersonal
3.	Nether Paradise	Nonpersonal
"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."

"The Holy Area, the outlying or residential region, is divided into seven concentric zones. Paradise is sometimes called “the Father’s House” since it is his eternal residence, and these seven zones are often designated “the Father’s Paradise mansions.” The inner or first zone is occupied by Paradise Citizens and the natives of Havona who may chance to be dwelling on Paradise. The next or second zone is the residential area of the natives of the seven superuniverses of time and space. This second zone is in part subdivided into seven immense divisions, the Paradise home of the spirit beings and ascendant creatures who hail from the universes of evolutionary progression. Each of these sectors is exclusively dedicated to the welfare and advancement of the personalities of a single superuniverse, but these facilities are almost infinitely beyond the requirements of the present seven superuniverses." 11:3.3

"The seven secret spheres of the Universal Father, circulating about Paradise in close proximity to the eternal Isle, are highly reflective of the spiritual luminosity of the central shining of the eternal Deities, shedding this light of divine glory throughout Paradise and even upon the seven circuits of Havona."

"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."

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

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
Outer Dark Gravity Belt (clockwise)	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] Diameters for the concentric bodies are assumed as a starting point but not specified in the text. ^[4] The base sizes - 1 inch and 1 mm are used to illustrate structural proportions, not actual sizes. Proportions are indicated in the passage below.
"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."
