15:1.1 Within the limited range of the [[records]], [[observations]], and [[memories]] of the [[generations]] of a million or a billion of your short years, to all [[practical]] [[intents]] and [[purposes]], [[Urantia]] and the universe [[Orvonton|to which it belongs]] are experiencing the [[adventure]] of one long and uncharted plunge into [[Outer Space|new space]]; but according to the records of [[Uversa]], in accordance with older observations, in [[harmony]] with the more extensive [[experience]] and calculations of our order, and as a result of conclusions based on these and other findings, we know that the universes are engaged in an [[Cosmos|orderly]], well-understood, and perfectly [[control]]led [[processional]], swinging in [[majestic]] grandeur around the [[First Great Source and Center]] and his [[Havona|residential universe]].

15:1.2 We have long since [[discovered]] that the seven superuniverses traverse a great [[ellipse]], a gigantic and elongated [[circle]]. Your [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_System solar system] and other worlds of time are not [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expanding_universe plunging headlong], without chart and [[compass]], into unmapped [[space]]. The [[local universe]] to which [[Satania|your system]] belongs is pursuing a definite and well-understood counterclockwise course around the vast swing that encircles the [[central universe]]. This cosmic path is well charted and is just as thoroughly known to the superuniverse [[Astronomy|star observers]] as the orbits of the [[planets]] constituting your solar system are known to [[Urantia]] astronomers.

15:1.3 [[Urantia]] is situated in a [[local universe]] and a [[superuniverse]] not fully organized, and your local universe is in [[immediate]] proximity to numerous partially completed [[physical]] [[creations]]. You belong to one of the relatively recent universes. But you are not, today, plunging on wildly into uncharted [[space]] nor swinging out blindly into [[unknown]] regions. You are following the orderly and predetermined path of the superuniverse space level. You are now passing through the very same space that your [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_System planetary system], or its predecessors, traversed ages ago; and some day in the remote [[future]] your system, or its successors, will again traverse the identical space through which you are now so swiftly plunging.

15:1.4 In this age and as direction is regarded on [[Urantia]], superuniverse number one swings almost due north, approximately opposite, in an easterly direction, to the [[Paradise]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_11#11:1._THE_DIVINE_RESIDENCE residence] of the Great Sources and Centers and the central universe of Havona. [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Display_diagram:_A_Simplified_Chart_of_the_Master_Universe This position, with the corresponding one to the west], represents the nearest [[physical]] approach of the [[spheres]] of [[time]] to the [[eternal Isle]]. Superuniverse number two is in the north, preparing for the westward swing, while number three now holds the northernmost segment of the great space path, having already turned into the bend leading to the southerly plunge. Number four is on the comparatively straightaway southerly flight, the advance regions now approaching opposition to the Great Centers. Number five has about left its position opposite the Center of Centers while continuing on the direct southerly course just preceding the eastward swing; number six occupies most of the southern curve, the segment from which your superuniverse has nearly passed.

15:1.5 Your local universe of [[Nebadon]] belongs to [[Orvonton]], the seventh superuniverse, which swings on between superuniverses one and six, having not long since (as we reckon time) turned the southeastern bend of the superuniverse space level. Today, the [[solar system]] to which Urantia belongs is a few billion years past the swing around the southern curvature so that you are just now advancing beyond the southeastern bend and are moving swiftly through the long and comparatively straightaway northern path. For untold ages Orvonton will pursue this almost direct northerly course.

15:1.6 Urantia belongs to [[Satania|a system]] which is well out towards the borderland of your [[local universe]]; and your local universe is at present traversing the [[periphery]] of [[Orvonton]]. Beyond you there are still others, but you are far removed in [[space]] from those physical systems which swing around the great circle in comparative proximity to the Great Source and Center.
