Cosmology


I. THE COSMIC CENTER
1. Paradise is the absolute source and the eternal focal point of all energy-matter in the universe of universes. (UB 11:8.9).
2. We are not sure about the relation of the Unqualified Absolute to space motion. We think the Conjoint Actor initiates motion in space. (UB 12:4.2).
3. The Unqualified Absolute pervades all space. (UB 12:6.13).
4. The diverse levels of creation are unified by a divine plan and eternal purpose. (UB 56:0.2).

II. PARADISE GRAVITY
1. The Universal Father is infinite and acts over all four absolute gravity circuits. (UB 12:3.1).
2. Gravity is the omnipotent strand on which are strung the gleaming stars, blazing suns, and whirling spheres which constitute the universal physical adornment of the eternal God. (UB 11:8.1).
3. The center and focal point of absolute material gravity is the Isle of Paradise. (UB 11:8.2).
4. Every form of known reality has the bend of the ages, the trend of the circle, the swing of the great ellipse. (UB 11:8.2).
5. The Unqualified Absolute is the revealer, regulator, and repository of all that which has origin in Paradise. (UB 11:8.9).

III. SPACE
1. All space alternately contracts and expands. (UB 11:6.1).
2. Pervaded space is now nearing the mid-point of the expansion phase. (UB 11:6.4).
3. Space is real — it contains and conditions motion. (UB 12:4.7).
4. Space comes the nearest of all nonabsolute things to being absolute. (UB 118:3.5).
5. We do not know if an idea occupies space. We are sure that an idea pattern does not contain space. (UB 118:3.7).
6. Man’s mind is less time-bound than space-bound. (UB 12:5.5).
7. Time and space are a conjoined mechanism of the master universe. (UB 118:9.1).
8. The apparent velocity of the supposedly “exploding” universe is not real. (UB 12:4.14).
9. All cosmic space levels are separated by relative quiescent space zones. (UB 11:7.7).

IV. UNIVERSE OVERCONTROL
1. Universe stability is the result of balanced energies, co-operative minds, co-ordinated morontias, spirit overcontrol, and personality unification. (UB 12:6.1).
2. The master universe is fostered by the Paradise Trinity. (UB 12:6.8).
3. The universes are unified. God is one in power and personality. (UB 56:9.14).
4. The absonite architects eventuate a universe plan. The Supreme Creators materialize it, the Supreme Being will consummate it. (UB 106:3.1).

V. THE SUPERUNIVERSES
1. The grand universe is the present organized and inhabited creation. (UB 12:1.13).
2. Orvonton, the seventh superuniverse, is the Milky Way. (UB 15:3.1).
3. The rotational center of our minor sector is Sagittarius. (UB 15:3.5).
4. Uversa, the capital of Orvonton, is the administrative headquarters for one trillion inhabited worlds. (UB 15:7.11).
5. It is on such worlds as Uversa that the beings representative of the autocracy of perfection and the democracy of evolution meet face to face. (UB 15:11.1).
6. A superuniverse government is directed by one of the Seven Master Spirits, through one of the Seven Supreme Executives. (UB 15:10.1).

VI. ASTRONOMY
1. Of the ten major divisions of Orvonton, eight have been roughly identified by Urantia astronomers. (UB 15:3.4).
2. The Universe Power Directors have ability to condense and contain, or to expand and liberate, varying quantities of energy. (UB 15:8.4).
3. The universes are engaged in an orderly and perfectly controlled procession, swinging in majestic grandeur around the First Great Source and Center. (UB 15:1.1).
4. Paradise Force Organizers are nebulae originators. (UB 15:4.4).
5. The superuniverse of Orvonton is illuminated and warned by more than ten trillion blazing suns. (UB 15:6.10).
6. Only those suns which function in the direct channels of the main streams of universe energy can shine on forever. (UB 41:7.14).
7. One half million light-years beyond the grand universe, in the first outer space level, unbelievable action is taking place — extending for twenty-five million light-years. (UB 12:1.14).
8. The alternate clockwise and counterclockwise movement of the galaxies is a factor of gravity control and acts as a brake on dangerous velocities. (UB 11:7.9).
9. There is mystery associated with the force-charge of space. It does not respond to gravity, but it ever swings around Paradise. (UB 15:4.1).
10. The mysterious stretches of outer space exhibit the amazing evolution of the plans of the Architects of the Master Universe. (UB 12:2.1).
11. Some suns are solitary; some are double stars. There are also suns that shine without heat. (UB 15:6.8).
12. Light is real. Sunlight would be economical at a million dollars a pound. (UB 41:5.2).
