43:0.1 [[Urantia]] is commonly [[referred]] to as 606 of [[Satania]] in [[Norlatiadek]] of [[Nebadon]], [[meaning]] the six hundred sixth [[inhabited world]] in the [[local system]] of [[Satania]], situated in the [[constellation]] of [[Norlatiadek]], one of the one hundred [[constellations]] of the [[local universe]] of [[Nebadon]]. [[Constellations]] being the primary [[divisions]] of a [[local universe]], their rulers link the [[local systems]] of [[inhabited worlds]] to the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_33#33:6._GENERAL_ADMINISTRATION central administration] of the [[local universe]] on [[Salvington]] and by [[reflectivity]] to the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_15#15:10._RULERS_OF_THE_SUPERUNIVERSES superadministration] of the [[Ancients of Days]] on [[Uversa]].

43:0.2 The [[government]] of your [[constellation]] is situated in a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_cluster cluster] of 771 [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_15#15:7._THE_ARCHITECTURAL_SPHERES architectural spheres], the centermost and largest of which is [[Edentia]], the seat of the [[administration]] of the [[Constellation Fathers]], the[[ Most Highs]] of [[Norlatiadek]]. [[Edentia]] itself is approximately [[Decimal|one hundred]] times as large as your world. The seventy major [[spheres]] surrounding [[Edentia]] are about [[ten]] times the size of [[Urantia]], while the ten [[satellites]] which revolve around each of these seventy worlds are about the size of [[Urantia]]. These 771 [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_15#15:7._THE_ARCHITECTURAL_SPHERES architectural spheres] are quite comparable in size to those of other [[constellations]].

==43:1. THE CONSTELLATION HEADQUARTERS==     

43:1.1 [[Edentia]] abounds in fascinating [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_Highlands highlands], extensive elevations of [[physical]] [[matter]] crowned with [[morontia]] life and overspread with [[spiritual]] [[glory]], but there are no rugged [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_ranges mountain ranges] such as appear on [[Urantia]]. There are tens of thousands of sparkling [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakes lakes] and thousands upon thousands of interconnecting [[streams]], but there are no great [[oceans]] nor torrential [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivers rivers]. Only the highlands are devoid of these [[surface]] [[streams]].

43:1.2 The [[water]] of [[Edentia]] and similar [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_15#15:7._THE_ARCHITECTURAL_SPHERES architectural spheres] is no [[different]] from the [[water]] of the [[evolutionary planets]]. The [[water]] [[systems]] of such [[spheres]] are both [[surface]] and subterranean, and the moisture is in constant [[circulation]]. [[Edentia]] can be [[Travel|circumnavigated]] via these various [[water]] routes, though the chief [[channel]] of [[transportation]] is the [[atmosphere]]. [[Spirit]] [[beings]] would naturally [[travel]] above the [[surface]] of the [[sphere]], while the [[morontia]] and [[material]] [[beings]] make use of [[material]] and semimaterial means to negotiate atmospheric passage.

43:1.3 [[Edentia]] and its [[associated]] worlds have a true [[atmosphere]], the usual [[three]]-[[gas]] mixture which is characteristic of such [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_15#15:7._THE_ARCHITECTURAL_SPHERES architectural creations], and which [[embodies]] the [[two]] [[elements]] of Urantian [[atmosphere]] plus that [[morontia]] [[gas]] suitable for the [[respiration]] of [[morontia]] [[creatures]]. But while this [[atmosphere]] is both [[material]] and [[morontial]], there are no [[Turbulence|storms]] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricanes hurricanes]; neither is there [[summer]] nor [[winter]]. This [[absence]] of atmospheric disturbances and of [[season]]al variation makes it [[possible]] to embellish all outdoors on these especially created worlds.

43:1.4 The [[Edentia]] highlands are [[magnificent]] [[physical]] features, and their [[beauty]] is enhanced by the endless profusion of life which abounds throughout their [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Length length] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breadth breadth]. Excepting a few rather [[isolated]] [[structures]], these highlands contain no [[work]] of [[creature]] hands. [[Material]] and [[morontia]]l ornamentations are [[limited]] to the dwelling areas. The lesser elevations are the sites of special [[residences]] and are [[beautifully]] embellished with both [[biologic]] and [[morontia]] [[art]].

43:1.5 Situated on the [[summit]] of the [[seventh]] highland range are the [[resurrection halls]] of [[Edentia]], wherein awaken the [[ascending mortals]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49#49:6._TERRESTRIAL_ESCAPE secondary modified order] of [[ascension]]. These chambers of [[creature]] reassembly are under the supervision of the [[Melchizedeks]]. The first of the receiving [[spheres]] of [[Edentia]] (like the planet [[Melchizedek]] near [[Salvington]]) also has special [[resurrection halls]], wherein the [[mortals]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49#49:6._TERRESTRIAL_ESCAPE modified orders of ascension] are reassembled.

43:1.6 The [[Melchizedeks]] also [[maintain]] two special [[colleges]] on [[Edentia]]. One, the ''emergency school'', is [[devoted]] to the [[study]] of [[problems]] [[growing]] out of the [[Lucifer Rebellion|Satania rebellion]]. The other, the ''bestowal school'', is [[dedicated]] to the mastery of the new [[problems]] arising out of the [[fact]] that [[Michael]] made his [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_119#119:7._THE_SEVENTH_AND_FINAL_BESTOWAL final bestowal] on one of the worlds of [[Norlatiadek]]. This latter [[college]] was [[established]] almost [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20th_century_BC four thousand years ago], [[immediately]] after the [[announcement]] by [[Michael]] that [[Urantia]] had been selected as the world for his [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_119#119:7._THE_SEVENTH_AND_FINAL_BESTOWAL final bestowal].

43:1.7 The [[sea of glass]], the receiving area of [[Edentia]], is near the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_43#43:1._THE_CONSTELLATION_HEADQUARTERS administrative center] and is [[encircled]] by the [[headquarters]] [[amphitheater]]. Surrounding this area are the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_43#43:2._THE_CONSTELLATION_GOVERNMENT governing centers] for the seventy [[divisions]] of [[constellation]] affairs. One half of [[Edentia]] is divided into seventy triangular sections, whose [[boundaries]] [[converge]] at the [[headquarters]] buildings of their respective sectors. The remainder of this [[sphere]] is one vast [[natural]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Park park], the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_43#43:6._THE_GARDENS_OF_GOD gardens of God].

43:1.8 During your [[periodic]] visits to [[Edentia]], though the entire [[planet]] is open to your inspection, most of your [[time]] will be spent in that [[administrative]] triangle whose [[number]] corresponds to that of your current [[residential]] world. You will always be [[welcome]] as an [[observer]] in the [[legislative]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_43#43:2._THE_CONSTELLATION_GOVERNMENT assemblies].

43:1.9 The [[morontia]] area assigned to [[ascending mortals]] [[resident]] on [[Edentia]] is located in the mid-zone of the thirty-fifth triangle adjoining the [[headquarters]] of the [[finaliters]], situated in the thirty-sixth triangle. The general [[headquarters]] of the [[univitatia]] occupies an enormous area in the mid-region of the thirty-fourth triangle [[immediately]] adjoining the [[residential]] reservation of the [[morontia]] [[citizens]]. From these arrangements it may be seen that provision is made for the [[accommodation]] of at least seventy major [[divisions]] of [[celestial]] life, and also that each of these seventy triangular areas is correlated with some one of the seventy major [[spheres]] of [[morontia]] [[training]].

43:1.10 The [[Edentia]] [[sea of glass]] is one enormous [[circular]] [[crystal]] about one hundred miles in [[circumference]] and about thirty miles in [[depth]]. This [[magnificent]] [[crystal]] serves as the receiving field for all [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_39#39:2._SUPERIOR_SERAPHIM transport seraphim] and other [[beings]] arriving from points outside the [[sphere]]; such a [[sea of glass]] greatly [[facilitates]] the landing of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_39#39:2._SUPERIOR_SERAPHIM transport seraphim].

43:2.3 While the [[supreme]] [[judicial]] [[function]] rests with the central [[administration]] of a [[local universe]], there are two subsidiary but major [[tribunals]] at the [[headquarters]] of each [[constellation]], the [[Melchizedek]] [[council]] and the [[court]] of the [[Most High]].

43:2.4 All [[judicial]] [[problems]] are first reviewed by the [[council]] of the [[Melchizedeks]]. Twelve of this order who have had certain requisite [[experience]] on the [[evolutionary planets]] and on the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_46 system headquarters worlds] are empowered to review [[evidence]], digest pleas, and [[formulate]] provisional [[verdicts]], which are passed on to the [[court]] of the [[Most High]], the reigning Constellation Father. The [[mortal]] [[division]] of this latter [[tribunal]] consists of [[seven]] [[judges]], all of whom are [[ascendant mortals]]. The higher you [[ascend]] in the [[universe]], the more certain you are to be judged by those of your own kind.

43:2.5 The [[constellation]] [[legislative]] [[body]] is divided into [[three]] [[groups]]. The [[legislative]] program of a [[constellation]] [[originates]] in the lower house of ascenders, a [[group]] presided over by a [[finaliter]] and consisting of one thousand [[representative]] [[mortals]]. Each system nominates ten members to sit in this deliberative assembly. On [[Edentia]] this [[body]] is not fully recruited at the present time.

43:3.2 At least [[three]] [[Vorondadek Sons]] are commissioned by [[Gabriel]] as the [[Most Highs]] of each of the [[Nebadon]] [[constellations]]. The presiding member of this trio is known as the [[Constellation Father]] and his two [[associates]] as the ''senior Most High'' and the ''junior Most High''. A [[Constellation Father]] reigns for ten thousand standard years (about 50,000 [[Urantia]] years), having previously served as junior associate and as senior associate for [[equal]] periods.

43:3.3 The Psalmist knew that [[Edentia]] was ruled by [[three]] [[Constellation Fathers]] and accordingly [[spoke]] of their abode in the plural: "There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the most holy place of the tabernacles of the Most Highs."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Psalms#Psalm_46]

43:3.4 Down through the [[ages]] there has been great [[confusion]] on [[Urantia]] regarding the various universe rulers. Many later [[teachers]] confused their vague and indefinite [[tribal]] [[deities]] with the [[Most High Fathers]]. Still later, the [[Hebrews]] merged all of these [[celestial]] rulers into a composite Deity. One [[teacher]] [[understood]] that the [[Most Highs]] were not the [[Supreme]] Rulers, for he said, "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Psalms#Psalm_91] In the [[Urantia]] [[records]] it is very [[difficult]] at times to know exactly who is referred to by the term "Most High."

He said, "The Most High rules in the kingdom of men and gives it to whomsoever he will."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Daniel#Chapter_4]

43:3.5 The [[Constellation Fathers]] are little occupied with the [[individuals]] of an [[inhabited planet]], but they are closely [[associated]] with those [[legislative]] and lawmaking [[functions]] of the [[constellations]] which so greatly concern every [[mortal]] [[race]] and [[State|national]] [[group]] of the [[inhabited worlds]].

43:3.7 The [[Edentia]] [[Most Highs]] seized certain [[phases]] of [[planetary]] [[authority]] on the rebellious worlds at the time of the [[Lucifer]] secession.
