46:5.1 The [[residential]] reservations assigned to the major [[groups]] of [[universe]] life are designated the [[Jerusem]] circles. Those [[circle]] [[groups]] which find mention in these [[narratives]] are the following:
*1. ''The circles of the [[Sons of God]].''
*2. ''The circles of the [[angels]] and higher [[spirits]]''.
*3. ''The circles of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_37#37:1._THE_UNIVERSE_AIDS Universe Aids], including the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_22_-_The_Trinitized_Sons_of_God#22:8._THE_CREATURE-TRINITIZED_SONS creature-trinitized sons] not assigned to the [[Trinity Teacher Sons]]''.
*4. ''The circles of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_29#29:4._THE_MASTER_PHYSICAL_CONTROLLERS Master Physical Controllers]''.
*5. ''The circles of the assigned [[ascending mortals]], including the [[midway creatures]]''.
*6. ''The circles of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_30_-_Personalities_of_the_Grand_Universe#30:3._THE_COURTESY_COLONIES courtesy colonies]''.
*7. ''The circles of the [[Corps of the Finality]]''.
46:5.2 Each of these [[residential]] groupings consists of [[seven]] [[concentric]] and successively elevated [[circles]]. They are all constructed along the same lines but are of [[different]] sizes and are [[fashion]]ed of differing [[materials]]. They are all [[surrounded]] by far-reaching enclosures, which mount up to form extensive [[promenades]] entirely [[encompassing]] every [[group]] of [[seven]] [[concentric circles]].
46:5.3 1. ''Circles of the [[Sons of God]]''. Though the [[Sons of God]] [[possess]] a social [[planet]] of their own, one of the [[transitional]]-[[culture]] worlds, they also occupy these extensive [[domains]] on [[Jerusem]]. On their [[transitional]]-[[culture]] world the [[ascending mortals]] freely mingle with all [[orders]] of [[divine]] sonship. There you will [[personally]] know and [[love]] these Sons, but their social life is largely confined to this special world and its [[satellites]]. In the [[Jerusem]] circles, however, these various [[groups]] of sonship may be [[observed]] at [[work]]. And since [[morontia]] [[vision]] is of enormous range, you can walk about on the Sons' [[promenades]] and overlook the [[intriguing]] [[activities]] of their numerous orders.
46:5.4 These [[seven]] [[circles]] of the Sons are [[concentric]] and successively elevated so that each of the outer and larger circles overlooks the inner and smaller ones, each being [[surrounded]] by a [[public]] [[promenade]] wall. These walls are constructed of [[crystal]] [[gems]] of gleaming brightness and are so elevated as to overlook all of their respective [[residential]] circles. The many gates—from fifty to one hundred and fifty thousand—which penetrate each of these walls consist of single pearly [[crystal]]s.
46:5.5 The first circle of the [[domain]] of the Sons is occupied by the [[Magisterial Sons]] and their [[personal]] staffs. Here [[center]] all of the [[plans]] and [[immediate]] [[activities]] of the [[bestowal]] and [[adjudication]]al [[services]] of these juridical Sons. It is also through this [[center]] that the [[Avonals]] of [[the system]] [[maintain]] [[contact]] with the [[universe]].
46:5.6 The second circle is occupied by the [[Trinity Teacher Sons]]. In this [[sacred]] [[domain]] the [[Daynals]] and their [[associates]] carry forward the [[training]] of the newly arrived primary [[Teacher Sons]]. And in all of this [[work]] they are ably [[assisted]] by a division of certain [[co-ordinates]] of the [[Brilliant Evening Stars]]. The [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_22#22:8._THE_CREATURE-TRINITIZED_SONS creature-trinitized sons] occupy a sector of the [[Daynal]] circle. The [[Trinity Teacher Sons]] come the nearest to [[being]] the [[personal]] [[representatives]] of the [[Universal Father]] in a [[local system]]; they are at least [[Trinity]]-[[origin]] [[beings]]. This second circle is a [[domain]] of extraordinary interest to all the peoples of [[Jerusem]].
46:5.7 The third circle is [[devoted]] to the [[Melchizedeks]]. Here [[the system]] chiefs reside and supervise the almost endless [[activities]] of these [[versatile]] Sons. From the first of the [[mansion worlds]] on through all the [[Jerusem]] [[career]] of [[ascending mortals]], the [[Melchizedeks]] are foster [[fathers]] and ever-present [[advisers]]. It would not be amiss to say that they are the [[dominant]] [[influence]] on [[Jerusem]] aside from the ever-present [[activities]] of the [[Material Sons and Daughters]].
46:5.8 The fourth circle is the home of the [[Vorondadeks]] and all other [[orders]] of the visiting and [[observer]] Sons who are not otherwise provided for. The Most High [[Constellation Fathers]] take up their [[abode]] in this circle when on visits of inspection to the [[local system]]. [[Perfectors of Wisdom]], [[Divine Counselors]], and [[Universal Censors]] all reside in this circle when on [[duty]] in the [[system]].
46:5.9 The fifth circle is the abode of the [[Lanonandeks]], the sonship order of the [[System Sovereigns]] and the [[Planetary Princes]]. The [[three]] [[groups]] mingle as one when at [[home]] in this [[domain]]. The system reserves are held in this circle, while the [[System Sovereign]] has a [[temple]] situated at the [[center]] of the governing [[group]] of [[structures]] on [[administration]] hill.
46:5.10 The sixth circle is the tarrying place of the system [[Life Carriers]]. All [[orders]] of these Sons are here assembled, and from here they go forth on their world assignments.
46:5.11 The seventh circle is the [[rendezvous]] of the [[ascending sons]], those assigned [[mortals]] who may be [[temporarily]] [[functioning]] on [[the system]] [[headquarters]], [[together]] with their [[seraphic]] [[consorts]]. All ex-[[mortals]] above the [[status]] of [[Jerusem]] [[citizens]] and below that of [[finaliters]] are reckoned as belonging to the [[group]] having its [[headquarters]] in this circle.
46:5.12 These circular reservations of the Sons occupy an enormous area, and until nineteen hundred years ago there existed a great open [[space]] at its [[center]]. This central region is now occupied by the [[Michael]] [[memorial]], completed some five hundred years ago. Four hundred and ninety-five years ago, when this [[temple]] was [[dedicated]], [[Michael]] was present in [[person]], and all [[Jerusem]] heard the [[touching]] [[story]] of the [[Master Son]]'s [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_120 bestowal on Urantia], the least of [[Satania]]. The [[Michael]] [[memorial]] is now the [[center]] of all [[activities]] [[embraced]] in the [[modified]] [[management]] of [[the system]] occasioned by Michael's [[bestowal]], including most of the more recently transplanted [[Salvington]] [[activities]]. The memorial staff consists of over one million [[personalities]].
46:5.13 2. ''The circles of the angels''. Like the [[residential]] area of the Sons, these circles of the [[angels]] consist of [[seven]] [[concentric]] and successively elevated [[circles]], each overlooking the inner areas.
46:5.14 The first circle of the angels is occupied by the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_24 Higher Personalities of the Infinite Spirit] who may be stationed on the [[headquarters]] world— [[Solitary Messengers]] and their [[associates]]. The second circle is [[dedicated]] to the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_25 messenger hosts], [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_25#25:4._TECHNICAL_ADVISERS Technical Advisers],[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_25#25:7._THE_MORONTIA_COMPANIONS companions], inspectors, and [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_25#25:6._THE_CELESTIAL_RECORDERS recorders] as they may [[chance]] to [[function]] on [[Jerusem]] from time to time. The third circle is held by the [[ministering spirits]] of the higher [[orders]] and groupings.
46:5.15 The fourth circle is held by the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Seraphic_hosts#39:4._ADMINISTRATOR_SERAPHIM administrator seraphim], and the [[seraphim]] serving in a [[local system]] like [[Satania]] are an "innumerable host of angels."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Letter_to_the_Hebrews#The_Letter_to_the_Hebrews.2C_XII] The fifth circle is occupied by the [[planetary]] [[seraphim]], while the sixth is the home of the [[transition]] ministers. The seventh circle is the tarrying [[sphere]] of certain unrevealed orders of [[seraphim]]. The recorders of all these [[groups]] of angels do not [[sojourn]] with their fellows, being [[domiciled]] in the [[Jerusem]] [[temple]] of [[records]]. All [[records]] are [[preserved]] in triplicate in this threefold hall of [[archives]]. On a system [[headquarters]], [[records]] are always preserved in [[material]], in [[morontia]], and in [[spirit]] [[form]].
46:5.16 These [[seven]] circles are [[surrounded]] by the [[exhibit]] [[panorama]] of [[Jerusem]], five thousand standard miles in [[circumference]], which is [[devoted]] to the presentation of the advancing [[status]] of the peopled worlds of [[Satania]] and is constantly revised so as to truly [[represent]] up-to-date conditions on the [[individual]] [[planets]]. I doubt not that this vast promenade overlooking the circles of the angels will be the first sight of [[Jerusem]] to claim your [[attention]] when you are permitted extended [[leisure]] on your earlier visits.
46:5.17 These [[exhibits]] are in charge of the [[native]] life of [[Jerusem]], but they are [[assisted]] by the [[ascenders]] from the various [[Satania]] worlds who are tarrying on [[Jerusem]] en route to [[Edentia]]. The portrayal of [[planetary]] conditions and world [[progress]] is [[effected]] by many [[methods]], some known to you, but mostly by [[techniques]] [[unknown]] on [[Urantia]]. These exhibits occupy the outer edge of this vast wall. The remainder of the [[promenade]] is almost entirely open, being highly and [[magnificently]] embellished.
46:5.18 3. ''The circles of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_37#37:1._THE_UNIVERSE_AIDS Universe Aids]'' have the [[headquarters]] of the [[Evening Stars]] situated in the enormous central [[space]]. Here is located [[the system]] [[headquarters]] of ''Galantia'', the associate head of this [[powerful]] [[group]] of [[superangels]], being the first commissioned of all the [[ascendant]] [[Evening Stars]]. This is one of the most [[magnificent]] of all the [[administrative]] sectors of ''Jerusem'', even though it is among the more recent constructions. This [[center]] is fifty miles in [[diameter]]. The ''Galantia'' [[headquarters]] is a monolithic cast [[crystal]], wholly [[transparent]]. These [[material]]-[[morontia]] [[crystals]] are greatly [[appreciated]] by both [[morontia]] and [[material]] [[beings]]. The created [[Evening Stars]] exert their [[influence]] all over [[Jerusem]], being [[possessed]] of such extrapersonality [[attributes]]. The entire world has been rendered [[spiritually]] fragrant since so many of their [[activities]] were transferred here from [[Salvington]].
46:5.19 4. ''The circles of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_29#29:4._THE_MASTER_PHYSICAL_CONTROLLERS Master Physical Controllers]''. The various [[orders]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_29#29:4._THE_MASTER_PHYSICAL_CONTROLLERS Master Physical Controllers] are [[concentrically]] arranged around the vast [[temple]] of [[power]], wherein presides the power chief of [[the system]] in [[association]] with the chief of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_48#48:2._MORONTIA_POWER_SUPERVISORS Morontia Power Supervisors]. This [[temple]] of [[power]] is one of two sectors on [[Jerusem]] where [[ascending mortals]] and [[midway creatures]] are not permitted. The other one is the dematerializing sector in the area of the [[Material Sons]], a series of [[laboratories]] wherein the [[transport]] [[seraphim]] [[transform]] [[material]] [[beings]] into a [[state]] quite like that of the [[morontia]] order of [[existence]].
46:5.20 5. ''The circles of the [[ascending mortals]]''. The central area of the circles of the [[ascending mortals]] is occupied by a [[group]] of 619 [[planetary]] [[memorials]] [[representative]] of the [[inhabited worlds]] of [[the system]], and these [[structures]] [[periodically]] undergo extensive [[changes]]. It is the privilege of the mortals from each world to [[agree]], from time to time, upon certain of the alterations or additions to their [[planetary]] [[memorials]]. Many [[changes]] are even now being made in the [[Urantia]] [[structures]]. The [[center]] of these 619 [[temples]] is occupied by a working [[model]] of [[Edentia]] and its many worlds of [[ascendant]] [[culture]]. This [[model]] is forty miles in [[diameter]] and is an [[actual]] reproduction of the [[Edentia]] [[system]], true to the [[original]] in every detail.
46:5.21 Ascenders enjoy their [[Jerusem]] services and take [[pleasure]] in observing the [[techniques]] of other [[groups]]. Everything done in these various circles is open to the full [[observation]] of all [[Jerusem]].
46:5.22 The [[activities]] of such a world are of [[three]] distinct varieties: [[work]], [[progress]], and [[play]]. Stated otherwise, they are: [[service]], [[study]], and [[relaxation]]. The [[composite]] [[activities]] consist of social [[intercourse]], [[group]] [[entertainment]], and [[divine]] [[worship]]. There is great [[educational]] [[value]] in mingling with [[diverse]] [[groups]] of [[personalities]], orders very [[different]] from one's own fellows.
46:5.23 6. ''The circles of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_30_-_Personalities_of_the_Grand_Universe#30:3._THE_COURTESY_COLONIES courtesy colonies]''. The [[seven]] circles of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_30_-_Personalities_of_the_Grand_Universe#30:3._THE_COURTESY_COLONIES courtesy colonies] are [[grace]]d by three enormous [[structures]]: the vast [[astronomic]] observatory of [[Jerusem]], the gigantic [[art]] [[gallery]] of [[Satania]], and the immense assembly hall of the [[reversion directors]], the [[theater]] of [[morontia]] [[activities]] [[devoted]] to [[rest]] and [[recreation]].
46:5.24 The [[celestial artisans]] direct the [[spornagia]] and provide the host of [[creative]] decorations and [[monumental]] [[memorials]] which abound in every place of [[public]] assembly. The [[studios]] of these [[artisans]] are among the largest and most [[beautiful]] of all the matchless [[structures]] of this [[wonderful]] world. The other [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_30_-_Personalities_of_the_Grand_Universe#30:3._THE_COURTESY_COLONIES courtesy colonies] [[maintain]] extensive and [[beautiful]] [[headquarters]]. Many of these buildings are constructed wholly of [[crystal]] [[gems]]. All the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_15#15:7._THE_ARCHITECTURAL_SPHERES architectural worlds] abound in [[crystals]] and the so-called precious metals.
46:5.25 7. ''The circles of the [[finaliters]]'' have a [[unique]] [[structure]] at the [[center]]. And this same vacant temple is found on every system [[headquarters]] world throughout [[Nebadon]]. This edifice on [[Jerusem]] is sealed with the insignia of [[Michael]], and it bears this inscription: "Undedicated to the [[seventh]] [[stage]] of [[spirit]]—to the [[eternal]] assignment." [[Gabriel]] placed the seal on this [[temple]] of [[mystery]], and none but [[Michael]] can or may break the seal of [[sovereignty]] affixed by the [[Bright and Morning Star]]. Some day you shall look upon this [[silent]] [[temple]], even though you may not penetrate its [[mystery]].
46:5.26 Other [[Jerusem]] circles : In addition to these [[residential]] circles there are on [[Jerusem]] numerous additional designated [[abodes]].

46:5.1 The [[residential]] reservations assigned to the major [[groups]] of [[universe]] life are designated the [[Jerusem]] circles. Those [[circle]] [[groups]] which find mention in these [[narratives]] are the following:
*1. ''The circles of the [[Sons of God]].''
*2. ''The circles of the [[angels]] and higher [[spirits]]''.
*3. ''The circles of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_37#37:1._THE_UNIVERSE_AIDS Universe Aids], including the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_22_-_The_Trinitized_Sons_of_God#22:8._THE_CREATURE-TRINITIZED_SONS creature-trinitized sons] not assigned to the [[Trinity Teacher Sons]]''.
*4. ''The circles of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_29#29:4._THE_MASTER_PHYSICAL_CONTROLLERS Master Physical Controllers]''.

*6. ''The circles of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_30_-_Personalities_of_the_Grand_Universe#30:3._THE_COURTESY_COLONIES courtesy colonies]''.
*7. ''The circles of the [[Corps of the Finality]]''.
46:5.2 Each of these [[residential]] groupings consists of [[seven]] [[concentric]] and successively elevated [[circles]]. They are all constructed along the same lines but are of [[different]] sizes and are [[fashion]]ed of differing [[materials]]. They are all [[surrounded]] by far-reaching enclosures, which mount up to form extensive [[promenades]] entirely [[encompassing]] every [[group]] of [[seven]] [[concentric circles]].
46:5.3 1. ''Circles of the [[Sons of God]]''. Though the [[Sons of God]] [[possess]] a social [[planet]] of their own, one of the [[transitional]]-[[culture]] worlds, they also occupy these extensive [[domains]] on [[Jerusem]]. On their [[transitional]]-[[culture]] world the [[ascending mortals]] freely mingle with all [[orders]] of [[divine]] sonship. There you will [[personally]] know and [[love]] these Sons, but their social life is largely confined to this special world and its [[satellites]]. In the [[Jerusem]] circles, however, these various [[groups]] of sonship may be [[observed]] at [[work]]. And since [[morontia]] [[vision]] is of enormous range, you can walk about on the Sons' [[promenades]] and overlook the [[intriguing]] [[activities]] of their numerous orders.
46:5.4 These [[seven]] [[circles]] of the Sons are [[concentric]] and successively elevated so that each of the outer and larger circles overlooks the inner and smaller ones, each being [[surrounded]] by a [[public]] [[promenade]] wall. These walls are constructed of [[crystal]] [[gems]] of gleaming brightness and are so elevated as to overlook all of their respective [[residential]] circles. The many gates—from fifty to one hundred and fifty thousand—which penetrate each of these walls consist of single pearly [[crystal]]s.
46:5.5 The first circle of the [[domain]] of the Sons is occupied by the [[Magisterial Sons]] and their [[personal]] staffs. Here [[center]] all of the [[plans]] and [[immediate]] [[activities]] of the [[bestowal]] and [[adjudication]]al [[services]] of these juridical Sons. It is also through this [[center]] that the [[Avonals]] of [[the system]] [[maintain]] [[contact]] with the [[universe]].
46:5.6 The second circle is occupied by the [[Trinity Teacher Sons]]. In this [[sacred]] [[domain]] the [[Daynals]] and their [[associates]] carry forward the [[training]] of the newly arrived primary [[Teacher Sons]]. And in all of this [[work]] they are ably [[assisted]] by a division of certain [[co-ordinates]] of the [[Brilliant Evening Stars]]. The [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_22#22:8._THE_CREATURE-TRINITIZED_SONS creature-trinitized sons] occupy a sector of the [[Daynal]] circle. The [[Trinity Teacher Sons]] come the nearest to [[being]] the [[personal]] [[representatives]] of the [[Universal Father]] in a [[local system]]; they are at least [[Trinity]]-[[origin]] [[beings]]. This second circle is a [[domain]] of extraordinary interest to all the peoples of [[Jerusem]].
46:5.7 The third circle is [[devoted]] to the [[Melchizedeks]]. Here [[the system]] chiefs reside and supervise the almost endless [[activities]] of these [[versatile]] Sons. From the first of the [[mansion worlds]] on through all the [[Jerusem]] [[career]] of [[ascending mortals]], the [[Melchizedeks]] are foster [[fathers]] and ever-present [[advisers]]. It would not be amiss to say that they are the [[dominant]] [[influence]] on [[Jerusem]] aside from the ever-present [[activities]] of the [[Material Sons and Daughters]].
46:5.8 The fourth circle is the home of the [[Vorondadeks]] and all other [[orders]] of the visiting and [[observer]] Sons who are not otherwise provided for. The Most High [[Constellation Fathers]] take up their [[abode]] in this circle when on visits of inspection to the [[local system]]. [[Perfectors of Wisdom]], [[Divine Counselors]], and [[Universal Censors]] all reside in this circle when on [[duty]] in the [[system]].
46:5.9 The fifth circle is the abode of the [[Lanonandeks]], the sonship order of the [[System Sovereigns]] and the [[Planetary Princes]]. The [[three]] [[groups]] mingle as one when at [[home]] in this [[domain]]. The system reserves are held in this circle, while the [[System Sovereign]] has a [[temple]] situated at the [[center]] of the governing [[group]] of [[structures]] on [[administration]] hill.
46:5.10 The sixth circle is the tarrying place of the system [[Life Carriers]]. All [[orders]] of these Sons are here assembled, and from here they go forth on their world assignments.
46:5.11 The seventh circle is the [[rendezvous]] of the [[ascending sons]], those assigned [[mortals]] who may be [[temporarily]] [[functioning]] on [[the system]] [[headquarters]], [[together]] with their [[seraphic]] [[consorts]]. All ex-[[mortals]] above the [[status]] of [[Jerusem]] [[citizens]] and below that of [[finaliters]] are reckoned as belonging to the [[group]] having its [[headquarters]] in this circle.
46:5.12 These circular reservations of the Sons occupy an enormous area, and until nineteen hundred years ago there existed a great open [[space]] at its [[center]]. This central region is now occupied by the [[Michael]] [[memorial]], completed some five hundred years ago. Four hundred and ninety-five years ago, when this [[temple]] was [[dedicated]], [[Michael]] was present in [[person]], and all [[Jerusem]] heard the [[touching]] [[story]] of the [[Master Son]]'s [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_120 bestowal on Urantia], the least of [[Satania]]. The [[Michael]] [[memorial]] is now the [[center]] of all [[activities]] [[embraced]] in the [[modified]] [[management]] of [[the system]] occasioned by Michael's [[bestowal]], including most of the more recently transplanted [[Salvington]] [[activities]]. The memorial staff consists of over one million [[personalities]].
46:5.13 2. ''The circles of the angels''. Like the [[residential]] area of the Sons, these circles of the [[angels]] consist of [[seven]] [[concentric]] and successively elevated [[circles]], each overlooking the inner areas.
46:5.14 The first circle of the angels is occupied by the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_24 Higher Personalities of the Infinite Spirit] who may be stationed on the [[headquarters]] world— [[Solitary Messengers]] and their [[associates]]. The second circle is [[dedicated]] to the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_25 messenger hosts], [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_25#25:4._TECHNICAL_ADVISERS Technical Advisers],[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_25#25:7._THE_MORONTIA_COMPANIONS companions], inspectors, and [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_25#25:6._THE_CELESTIAL_RECORDERS recorders] as they may [[chance]] to [[function]] on [[Jerusem]] from time to time. The third circle is held by the [[ministering spirits]] of the higher [[orders]] and groupings.
46:5.15 The fourth circle is held by the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Seraphic_hosts#39:4._ADMINISTRATOR_SERAPHIM administrator seraphim], and the [[seraphim]] serving in a [[local system]] like [[Satania]] are an "innumerable host of angels."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Letter_to_the_Hebrews#The_Letter_to_the_Hebrews.2C_XII] The fifth circle is occupied by the [[planetary]] [[seraphim]], while the sixth is the home of the [[transition]] ministers. The seventh circle is the tarrying [[sphere]] of certain unrevealed orders of [[seraphim]]. The recorders of all these [[groups]] of angels do not [[sojourn]] with their fellows, being [[domiciled]] in the [[Jerusem]] [[temple]] of [[records]]. All [[records]] are [[preserved]] in triplicate in this threefold hall of [[archives]]. On a system [[headquarters]], [[records]] are always preserved in [[material]], in [[morontia]], and in [[spirit]] [[form]].
46:5.16 These [[seven]] circles are [[surrounded]] by the [[exhibit]] [[panorama]] of [[Jerusem]], five thousand standard miles in [[circumference]], which is [[devoted]] to the presentation of the advancing [[status]] of the peopled worlds of [[Satania]] and is constantly revised so as to truly [[represent]] up-to-date conditions on the [[individual]] [[planets]]. I doubt not that this vast promenade overlooking the circles of the angels will be the first sight of [[Jerusem]] to claim your [[attention]] when you are permitted extended [[leisure]] on your earlier visits.
46:5.17 These [[exhibits]] are in charge of the [[native]] life of [[Jerusem]], but they are [[assisted]] by the [[ascenders]] from the various [[Satania]] worlds who are tarrying on [[Jerusem]] en route to [[Edentia]]. The portrayal of [[planetary]] conditions and world [[progress]] is [[effected]] by many [[methods]], some known to you, but mostly by [[techniques]] [[unknown]] on [[Urantia]]. These exhibits occupy the outer edge of this vast wall. The remainder of the [[promenade]] is almost entirely open, being highly and [[magnificently]] embellished.
46:5.18 3. ''The circles of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_37#37:1._THE_UNIVERSE_AIDS Universe Aids]'' have the [[headquarters]] of the [[Evening Stars]] situated in the enormous central [[space]]. Here is located [[the system]] [[headquarters]] of ''Galantia'', the associate head of this [[powerful]] [[group]] of [[superangels]], being the first commissioned of all the [[ascendant]] [[Evening Stars]]. This is one of the most [[magnificent]] of all the [[administrative]] sectors of ''Jerusem'', even though it is among the more recent constructions. This [[center]] is fifty miles in [[diameter]]. The ''Galantia'' [[headquarters]] is a monolithic cast [[crystal]], wholly [[transparent]]. These [[material]]-[[morontia]] [[crystals]] are greatly [[appreciated]] by both [[morontia]] and [[material]] [[beings]]. The created [[Evening Stars]] exert their [[influence]] all over [[Jerusem]], being [[possessed]] of such extrapersonality [[attributes]]. The entire world has been rendered [[spiritually]] fragrant since so many of their [[activities]] were transferred here from [[Salvington]].
46:5.19 4. ''The circles of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_29#29:4._THE_MASTER_PHYSICAL_CONTROLLERS Master Physical Controllers]''. The various [[orders]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_29#29:4._THE_MASTER_PHYSICAL_CONTROLLERS Master Physical Controllers] are [[concentrically]] arranged around the vast [[temple]] of [[power]], wherein presides the power chief of [[the system]] in [[association]] with the chief of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_48#48:2._MORONTIA_POWER_SUPERVISORS Morontia Power Supervisors]. This [[temple]] of [[power]] is one of two sectors on [[Jerusem]] where [[ascending mortals]] and [[midway creatures]] are not permitted. The other one is the dematerializing sector in the area of the [[Material Sons]], a series of [[laboratories]] wherein the [[transport]] [[seraphim]] [[transform]] [[material]] [[beings]] into a [[state]] quite like that of the [[morontia]] order of [[existence]].
46:5.20 5. ''The circles of the [[ascending mortals]]''. The central area of the circles of the [[ascending mortals]] is occupied by a [[group]] of 619 [[planetary]] [[memorials]] [[representative]] of the [[inhabited worlds]] of [[the system]], and these [[structures]] [[periodically]] undergo extensive [[changes]]. It is the privilege of the mortals from each world to [[agree]], from time to time, upon certain of the alterations or additions to their [[planetary]] [[memorials]]. Many [[changes]] are even now being made in the [[Urantia]] [[structures]]. The [[center]] of these 619 [[temples]] is occupied by a working [[model]] of [[Edentia]] and its many worlds of [[ascendant]] [[culture]]. This [[model]] is forty miles in [[diameter]] and is an [[actual]] reproduction of the [[Edentia]] [[system]], true to the [[original]] in every detail.
46:5.21 Ascenders enjoy their [[Jerusem]] services and take [[pleasure]] in observing the [[techniques]] of other [[groups]]. Everything done in these various circles is open to the full [[observation]] of all [[Jerusem]].
46:5.22 The [[activities]] of such a world are of [[three]] distinct varieties: [[work]], [[progress]], and [[play]]. Stated otherwise, they are: [[service]], [[study]], and [[relaxation]]. The [[composite]] [[activities]] consist of social [[intercourse]], [[group]] [[entertainment]], and [[divine]] [[worship]]. There is great [[educational]] [[value]] in mingling with [[diverse]] [[groups]] of [[personalities]], orders very [[different]] from one's own fellows.
46:5.23 6. ''The circles of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_30_-_Personalities_of_the_Grand_Universe#30:3._THE_COURTESY_COLONIES courtesy colonies]''. The [[seven]] circles of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_30_-_Personalities_of_the_Grand_Universe#30:3._THE_COURTESY_COLONIES courtesy colonies] are [[grace]]d by three enormous [[structures]]: the vast [[astronomic]] observatory of [[Jerusem]], the gigantic [[art]] [[gallery]] of [[Satania]], and the immense assembly hall of the [[reversion directors]], the [[theater]] of [[morontia]] [[activities]] [[devoted]] to [[rest]] and [[recreation]].
46:5.24 The [[celestial artisans]] direct the [[spornagia]] and provide the host of [[creative]] decorations and [[monumental]] [[memorials]] which abound in every place of [[public]] assembly. The [[studios]] of these [[artisans]] are among the largest and most [[beautiful]] of all the matchless [[structures]] of this [[wonderful]] world. The other [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_30_-_Personalities_of_the_Grand_Universe#30:3._THE_COURTESY_COLONIES courtesy colonies] [[maintain]] extensive and [[beautiful]] [[headquarters]]. Many of these buildings are constructed wholly of [[crystal]] [[gems]]. All the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_15#15:7._THE_ARCHITECTURAL_SPHERES architectural worlds] abound in [[crystals]] and the so-called precious metals.
46:5.25 7. ''The circles of the [[finaliters]]'' have a [[unique]] [[structure]] at the [[center]]. And this same vacant temple is found on every system [[headquarters]] world throughout [[Nebadon]]. This edifice on [[Jerusem]] is sealed with the insignia of [[Michael]], and it bears this inscription: "Undedicated to the [[seventh]] [[stage]] of [[spirit]]—to the [[eternal]] assignment." [[Gabriel]] placed the seal on this [[temple]] of [[mystery]], and none but [[Michael]] can or may break the seal of [[sovereignty]] affixed by the [[Bright and Morning Star]]. Some day you shall look upon this [[silent]] [[temple]], even though you may not penetrate its [[mystery]].
46:5.26 Other [[Jerusem]] circles : In addition to these [[residential]] circles there are on [[Jerusem]] numerous additional designated [[abodes]].
