30:3.1 The seven courtesy colonies [[sojourn]] on the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_15#15:7._THE_ARCHITECTURAL_SPHERES architectural spheres] for a longer or shorter time while engaged in the furtherance of their missions and in the [[execution]] of their special assignments. Their [[work]] may be described as follows:
30:3.2 1. ''The Star Students'', the [[celestial]] [[astronomers]], choose to [[work]] on [[spheres]] like [[Uversa]] because such specially constructed worlds are unusually favorable for their [[observations]] and calculations. [[Uversa]] is favorably situated for the [[work]] of this colony, not only because of its [[central]] location, but also because there are no gigantic living or dead [[suns]] near at hand to disturb the [[energy]] currents. These students are not in any [[manner]] organically [[connected]] with the affairs of the [[superuniverse]]; they are merely guests.
30:3.3 The [[astronomical]] colony of [[Uversa]] contains [[individuals]] from many near-by realms, from the [[central universe]], and even from [[Norlatiadek]]. Any [[being]] on any world in any [[the System|system]] of any [[universe]] may become a star student, may aspire to join some corps of [[celestial]] [[astronomers]]. The only requisites are: continuing life and sufficient [[knowledge]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 worlds of space], especially their [[physical]] [[laws]] of [[evolution]] and [[control]]. Star students are not required to serve eternally in this corps, but no one admitted to this [[group]] may withdraw under one millennium of [[Uversa]] time.
30:3.4 The star-observer colony of [[Uversa]] now numbers over one million. These [[astronomers]] come and go, though some remain for comparatively long periods. They carry on their [[work]] with the aid of a multitude of [[mechanical]] [[Tools|instruments]] and physical appliances; they are also greatly assisted by the [[Solitary Messengers]] and other [[spirit]] explorers. These celestial astronomers make constant use of the living [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_29#29:4._THE_MASTER_PHYSICAL_CONTROLLERS energy transformers and transmitters], as well as of the [[reflective]] [[personalities]], in their work of star [[study]] and space survey. They study all [[forms]] and [[phases]] of [[space]] [[material]] and [[energy]] [[manifestations]], and they are just as much interested in [[force]] [[function]] as in stellar [[phenomena]]; nothing in all space escapes their scrutiny.
30:3.5 Similar astronomer colonies are to be found on the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_15#15:13._THE_SECTOR_GOVERNMENTS sector headquarters worlds] of the superuniverse as well as on the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_15#15:7._THE_ARCHITECTURAL_SPHERES architectural capitals] of the [[local universes]] and their administrative subdivisions. Except on [[Paradise]], [[knowledge]] is not [[inherent]]; [[understanding]] of the [[physical]] [[universe]] is largely dependent on [[observation]] and [[research]].
30:3.6 2. [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_44 The Celestial Artisans] serve throughout the [[seven superuniverses]]. [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:5._MORTALS_OF_TIME_AND_SPACE Ascending mortals] have their initial contact with these [[groups]] in the [[Mansion Worlds|morontia career]] of the [[local universe]] in [[connection]] with which these artisans will be more fully discussed.
30:3.7 3. [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_48#48:4._THE_REVERSION_DIRECTORS The Reversion Directors] are the promoters of [[relaxation]] and [[humor]]—reversion to [[past]] [[memories]]. They are of great [[service]] in the [[practical]] operation of the [[ascending scheme]] of [[mortal]] [[progression]], especially during the earlier [[phases]] of [[morontia]] [[transition]] and [[spirit]] [[experience]]. Their [[story]] belongs to the [[narrative]] of the [[mortal]] [[career]] in the [[local universe]].
30:3.8 4. ''Extension-School Instructors''. The next higher residential world of the [[ascendant career]] always maintains a strong corps of [[teachers]] on the world just below, a sort of preparatory school for the [[progressing]] residents of that [[sphere]]; this is a phase of the [[ascendant scheme]] for advancing the [[pilgrims]] of [[time]]. These schools, their [[methods]] of instruction and examinations, are wholly unlike anything which you essay to conduct on [[Urantia]].
30:3.9 The entire [[ascendant plan]] of [[mortal]] [[progression]] is characterized by the [[practice]] of giving out to other [[beings]] new [[truth]] and [[experience]] just as soon as acquired. You [[work]] your way through the long school of [[Paradise]] [[attainment]] by serving as [[teachers]] to those pupils just behind you in the [[scale]] of [[progression]].
30:3.10 5. ''The Various Reserve Corps''. Vast reserves of [[beings]] not under our immediate supervision are mobilized on [[Uversa]] as the reserve-corps colony. There are seventy primary divisions of this colony on [[Uversa]], and it is a [[liberal]] [[education]] to be permitted to spend a season with these extraordinary [[personalities]]. Similar general reserves are maintained on [[Salvington]] and other universe capitals; they are dispatched on [[active]] [[service]] on the requisition of their respective group directors.
30:3.11 6. ''The Student Visitors''. From all the [[universe]] a constant stream of celestial visitors pours through the various [[headquarters]] worlds. As [[individuals]] and as classes these various [[types]] of beings flock in upon us as observers, exchange pupils, and student helpers. On [[Uversa]], at present, there are over one billion [[persons]] in this courtesy colony. Some of these visitors may tarry a day, others may remain a year, all dependent on the [[nature]] of their mission. This colony contains almost every class of [[universe]] [[beings]] except [[Creator]] [[personalities]] and [[morontia]] [[mortals]].
30:3.12 [[Morontia]] [[mortals]] are student visitors only within the confines of the [[local universe]] of their [[origin]]. They may visit in a [[superuniverse]] capacity only after they have [[attained]] [[spirit]] [[status]]. Fully one half of our visitor colony consists of "stopovers," beings enroute elsewhere who pause to visit the [[Orvonton]] capital. These [[personalities]] may be [[executing]] a universe assignment, or they may be enjoying a period of [[leisure]]—[[freedom]] from assignment. The [[privilege]] of [[intrauniverse]] travel and [[observation]] is a part of the [[career]] of all [[ascending]] [[beings]]. The [[human]] [[desire]] to [[travel]] and observe new peoples and worlds will be fully gratified during the long and [[eventful]] climb to [[Paradise]] through the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_32 local], [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_15 super-], and [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_14 central] [[universes]].
30:3.13 7. ''The Ascending Pilgrims''. As the [[ascending]] [[pilgrims]] are assigned to various [[services]] in connection with their [[Paradise]] progression, they are domiciled as a courtesy colony on the various [[headquarters]] [[spheres]]. While [[functioning]] here and there throughout a [[superuniverse]], such [[groups]] are largely [[self-governing]]. They are an ever-shifting colony embracing all orders of [[evolutionary]] [[mortals]] and their [[ascending]] [[associates]].
