43:6.2 About one half of [[Edentia]] is [[devoted]] to the exquisite [[gardens]] of the [[Most Highs]], and these gardens are among the most [[entrancing]] [[morontia]] [[creations]] of the [[local universe]]. This explains why the extraordinarily [[beautiful]] places on the [[inhabited worlds]] of [[Norlatiadek]] are so often called "the garden of Eden."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Ezekiel#Chapter_36]

43:6.3 [[Centrally]] located in this [[magnificent]] [[garden]] is the [[worship]] [[shrine]] of the [[Most Highs]]. The Psalmist must have known something about these things, for he wrote: "Who shall [[ascend]] the hill of the [[Most Highs]]? Who shall stand in this [[holy]] place? He who has clean hands and a [[pure]] [[heart]], who has not lifted up his [[soul]] to vanity nor sworn deceitfully."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Psalms#Psalm_24] At this shrine the Most Highs, on every tenth day of relaxation, lead all Edentia in the worshipful contemplation of God the Supreme.

43:6.4 The architectural worlds enjoy ten forms of life of the material order. On Urantia there is plant and animal life, but on such a world as Edentia there are ten divisions of the material orders of life. Were you to view these ten divisions of Edentia life, you would quickly classify the first three as vegetable and the last three as animal, but you would be utterly unable to comprehend the nature of the intervening four groups of prolific and fascinating forms of life.

43:6.5 Even the distinctively animal life is very different from that of the evolutionary worlds, so different that it is quite impossible to portray to mortal minds the unique character and affectionate nature of these nonspeaking creatures. There are thousands upon thousands of living creatures which your imagination could not possibly picture. The whole animal creation is of an entirely different order from the gross animal species of the evolutionary planets. But all this animal life is most intelligent and exquisitely serviceable, and all the various species are surprisingly gentle and touchingly companionable. There are no carnivorous creatures on such architectural worlds; there is nothing in all Edentia to make any living being afraid.

43:6.6 The vegetable life is also very different from that of Urantia, consisting of both material and morontia varieties. The material growths have a characteristic green coloration, but the morontia equivalents of vegetative life have a violet or orchid tinge of varying hue and reflection. Such morontia vegetation is purely an energy growth; when eaten there is no residual portion.

43:6.7 Being endowed with ten divisions of physical life, not to mention the morontia variations, these architectural worlds provide tremendous possibilities for the biologic beautification of the landscape and of the material and the morontia structures. The celestial artisans direct the native spornagia in this extensive work of botanic decoration and biologic embellishment. Whereas your artists must resort to inert paint and lifeless marble to portray their concepts, the celestial artisans and the univitatia more frequently utilize living materials to represent their ideas and to capture their ideals.

43:6.8 If you enjoy the flowers, shrubs, and trees of Urantia, then will you feast your eyes upon the botanical beauty and the floral grandeur of the supernal gardens of Edentia. But it is beyond my powers of description to undertake to convey to the mortal mind an adequate concept of these beauties of the heavenly worlds. Truly, eye has not seen such glories as await your arrival on these worlds of the mortal-ascension adventure.
