11:8.1 The inescapable pull of [[gravity]] effectively grips all the worlds of all [[Universe of Universes|the universes]] of all [[space]]. Gravity is the all-powerful grasp of the [[physical]] [[presence]] of Paradise. 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]], who is [[all things]], fills all things, and in whom all things consist.

11:8.2 The [[center]] and [[Focus|focal point]] of [[absolute]] material gravity is the Isle of Paradise, complemented by the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_14#14:1._THE_PARADISE-HAVONA_SYSTEM dark gravity bodies] encircling [[Havona]] and equilibrated by the upper and nether space reservoirs. All known emanations of nether Paradise invariably and unerringly [[respond]] to the central [[gravity]] pull operating upon the endless [[circuits]] of the [[elliptical]] [http://www.nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_12#12:1._SPACE_LEVELS_OF_THE_MASTER_UNIVERSE space levels] of the [[master universe]].

11:8.3 Space is nonresponsive to gravity, but it acts as an [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/equilibrant equilibrant] on gravity. Without the space cushion, explosive [[action]] would jerk surrounding space bodies. Pervaded space also exerts an [[antigravity]] [[influence]] upon [[physical]] or [[linear]] gravity; space can actually neutralize such gravity [[action]] even though it cannot delay it. Absolute gravity is Paradise gravity. Local or linear gravity pertains to the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_42#3._CLASSIFICATION_OF_MATTER electrical stage] of [[energy]] or [[matter]]; it operates within the [[Havona|central]], [[The Seven Superuniverses|super-]], and [[Outer Space|outer universes]], wherever suitable [[materialization]] has taken place.

*1. 11:8.5 1. ''Pregravity Stages'' ([[Force]]). This is the first step in the individuation of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_42_-_Energy_-_Mind_and_Matter#1._PARADISE_FORCES_AND_ENERGIES space potency] into the pre-energy forms of cosmic force. This state is [[analogous]] to the concept of the primordial force-charge of space, sometimes called [[pure]] energy or ''segregata''.

*2. 11:8.6 2. ''Gravity Stages'' ([[Energy]]).

It signalizes the appearance of energy [[systems]] [[responsive]] to the pull of Paradise [[gravity]]. This emergent energy is originally neutral but consequent upon further [[metamorphosis]] will exhibit the so-called [[Polarity|negative and positive]] [[qualities]]. We designate these stages ''ultimata''.

*3. 11:8.7 3. ''Postgravity Stages'' (Universe [[Power]]). In this stage, energy-matter discloses response to the control of [[linear]] [[gravity]]. In the [[central universe]] these physical systems are threefold organizations known as ''triata''. They are the superpower mother systems of the [[creations]] of [[time and space]].

11:8.8 Space potency is not subject to the interactions of any form of gravitation. This primal endowment of Paradise is not an [[actual]] level of [[reality]], but it is [[ancestral]] to all [[relative]] [[function]]al nonspirit realities—all [[manifestations]] of force-energy and the organization of [[power]] and [[matter]]. Space potency is a term difficult to define. It does not mean that which is ancestral to space; its [[meaning]] should convey the idea of the potencies and [[potentials]] existent within space. It may be roughly conceived to include all those [[absolute]] [[influences]] and potentials which emanate from Paradise and constitute the space [[presence]] of the [[Unqualified Absolute]].

11:8.9 Paradise is the [[absolute]] [[source]] and the [[eternal]] [[Focus|focal]] point of all energy-matter in the [[universe of universes]]. The Unqualified Absolute is the revealer, regulator, and repository of that which has Paradise as its [[source]] and [[origin]]. The universal presence of the Unqualified Absolute seems to be [[equivalent]] to the concept of a [[potential]] [[infinity]] of gravity extension, an elastic [[tension]] of Paradise presence. This [[concept]] aids us in grasping the [[fact]] that [[everything]] is drawn inward towards Paradise. The [[illustration]] is crude but nonetheless helpful. It also explains why gravity always acts preferentially in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plane_%28geometry%29 plane] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perpendicular perpendicular] to the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Mass mass], a [[phenomenon]] indicative of the differential [[dimensions]] of Paradise and the surrounding [[creations]].
