14:1.1 From the [[periphery]] of [[Paradise]] to the inner borders of [[the seven superuniverses]] there are the following seven space conditions and [[motions]]:
*1. The [[quiescent]] midspace zones impinging on Paradise.
*2. The clockwise [[procession]]al of the three [[Paradise]] and the seven Havona circuits.
*3. The semiquiet [[space]] zone separating the Havona circuits from the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_gravity 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]].
14:1.2 The billion worlds of Havona are arranged in seven concentric circuits immediately surrounding the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_13#PAPER_13:_THE_SACRED_SPHERES_OF_PARADISE three circuits of Paradise] [[satellites]]. There are upwards of thirty-five million worlds in the innermost Havona circuit and over two hundred and forty-five million in the outermost, with [[proportionate]] [[numbers]] intervening. Each circuit differs, but all are perfectly [[balanced]] and exquisitely [[organized]], and each is pervaded by a specialized [[representation]] of the [[Infinite Spirit]], one of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_17#17:5._THE_SEVEN_SPIRITS_OF_THE_CIRCUITS Seven Spirits of the Circuits]. In addition to other [[functions]] this [[impersonal]] Spirit co-ordinates the conduct of celestial affairs throughout each circuit.
14:1.3 The Havona [[planetary]] [[circuits]] are not [[superimposed]]; their worlds follow each other in an orderly [[linear]] [[procession]]. The central universe whirls around the stationary [[Isle of Paradise]] in one vast [[plane]], consisting of ten concentric [[stabilized]] [[units]]—the three circuits of Paradise [[spheres]] and the seven circuits of Havona worlds. Physically regarded, the Havona and the Paradise circuits are all one and the same [[system]]; their separation is in recognition of functional and [[administrative]] segregation.
14:1.4 [[Time]] is not reckoned on Paradise; the [[sequence]] of successive [[events]] is [[inherent]] in the [[concept]] of those who are indigenous to the central Isle. But time is germane to the Havona circuits and to numerous [[beings]] of both [[celestial]] and [[terrestrial]] [[origin]] sojourning thereon. Each Havona world has its own local time, determined by its [[circuit]]. All worlds in a given circuit have the same length of year since they [[uniformly]] swing around Paradise, and the length of these planetary years decreases from the outermost to the innermost circuit.
14:1.5 Besides Havona-circuit time, there is the Paradise-Havona standard day and other time designations which are determined on, and are sent out from, the seven Paradise [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_13#13:4._THE_WORLDS_OF_THE_INFINITE_SPIRIT satellites] of the [[Infinite Spirit]]. The Paradise-Havona standard day is based on the length of time required for the planetary abodes of the first or inner Havona circuit to complete one [[revolution]] around the [[Isle of Paradise]]; and though their [[velocity]] is enormous, owing to their situation between the dark gravity bodies and gigantic Paradise, it requires almost one thousand years for these spheres to complete their circuit. You have unwittingly [[read]] the [[truth]] when your eyes rested on the [[statement]] "A day is as a thousand years with God, as but a watch in the night."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Psalms#Psalm_90] One Paradise-Havona day is just seven minutes, three and one-eighth seconds less than one thousand years of the present [[Urantia]] leap-year [[Gregorian calendar|calendar]].
14:1.6 This Paradise-Havona day is the [[standard]] time [[measurement]] for [[the seven superuniverses]], although each maintains its own internal time standards.
14:1.7 On the outskirts of this vast central universe, far out beyond the seventh belt of Havona worlds, there swirl an unbelievable [[number]] of enormous [[dark gravity]] bodies. These multitudinous dark masses are quite unlike other space bodies in many particulars; even in [[form]] they are very [[different]]. These dark gravity bodies neither [[reflect]] nor absorb [[light]]; they are nonreactive to [[physical]]-[[energy]] light, and they so completely encircle and enshroud Havona as to hide it from the view of even near-by [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_15inhabited universes] of [[time and space]].
14:1.8 The great belt of dark gravity bodies is divided into two equal [[elliptical]] [[circuits]] by a [[unique]] space intrusion. The inner belt revolves counterclockwise; the outer revolves clockwise. These alternate directions of [[motion]], coupled with the extraordinary [[mass]] of the dark bodies, so [[effective]]ly [[equalize]] the lines of Havona [[gravity]] as to render the central universe a physically [[balanced]] and perfectly stabilized [[creation]].
14:1.9 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.
14:1.10 The intervening space which exists between these two circuits of gravity bodies is unique in that nothing like it is to be found elsewhere in all the wide universe. This zone is characterized by enormous [[wave]] [[movements]] of an up-and-down [[nature]] and is permeated by tremendous [[energy]] activities of an [[unknown]] order.
14:1.11 In our opinion, nothing like the dark gravity bodies of the central universe will characterize the future [[evolution]] of the [[outer space]] levels; we regard these alternate [[procession]]s of stupendous [[gravity]]-balancing bodies as [[unique]] in the [[master universe]].

14:1.1 From the [[periphery]] of [[Paradise]] to the inner borders of [[the seven superuniverses]] there are the following seven space conditions and [[motions]]:

*2. The clockwise [[procession]]al of the three [[Paradise]] and the seven Havona circuits.

*7. A third space zone—a semiquiet zone—separating the outer belt of dark gravity bodies from the innermost circuits of [[the seven superuniverses]].
14:1.2 The billion worlds of Havona are arranged in seven concentric circuits immediately surrounding the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_13#PAPER_13:_THE_SACRED_SPHERES_OF_PARADISE three circuits of Paradise] [[satellites]].

In addition to other [[functions]] this [[impersonal]] Spirit co-ordinates the conduct of celestial affairs throughout each circuit.
14:1.3 The Havona [[planetary]] [[circuits]] are not [[superimposed]]; their worlds follow each other in an orderly [[linear]] [[procession]].

14:1.6 This Paradise-Havona day is the [[standard]] time [[measurement]] for [[the seven superuniverses]], although each maintains its own internal time standards.
14:1.7 On the outskirts of this vast central universe, far out beyond the seventh belt of Havona worlds, there swirl an unbelievable [[number]] of enormous [[dark gravity]] bodies.
