    Urantia Paper 13—The Sacred Spheres of Paradise—§2. Father-World Relationships

    This week on The Cosmic Citizen we continue with our study of The Urantia Book's Paper 13 – The Sacred Spheres of Paradise, with a reading of Section 2: Father-World Relationships.

    In the last two weeks we covered the introduction to this paper and Section 1: "The Seven Sacred Worlds of the Father."

    This section further explains how the seven sacred spheres, also known as the Father Worlds, are connected to the Universal Father. These worlds play a crucial role in the administration of the universe. Each one has a unique purpose. They are the vital headquarters where different kinds of heavenly beings work to manage and organize the universe.

    Our study will disclose the following:

    Purpose: Each of the seven Father Worlds has a specific function and is dedicated to different aspects of divine administration and spiritual training.

    Inhabitants: These worlds are inhabited by various types of celestial beings who work closely with the Universal Father to manage and oversee the universe.

    Training and Service: The Father Worlds serve as training centers for ascending beings (those who progress spiritually) and provide essential services to the universe.

    Unique Roles: Each world has a unique role, such as focusing on the administration of justice, the coordination of universe affairs, or the training of spiritual beings.

    In essence, the Father Worlds are like specialized hubs that help the Universal Father maintain order and harmony throughout the universe.

    Please join us for another deep and meaningful study of The Urantia Book!

    Urantia Paper 13—The Sacred Spheres of Paradise—§0-1. The Seven Sacred Worlds of the Father - PART 2
    Mar 1 2025
    This week on The Cosmic Citizen we will continue our study of Paper 13, The Sacred Spheres of Paradise, and Section 1, The Seven Sacred Worlds of the Father.


    Last week we read the preamble of the paper and about four of the Father's Sacred Spheres. We read about Divinington, Sonarington, Spiritington and Vicegerington.


    This week we will continue with the last three of the Seven Sacred Spheres of the Father:

    Solitarington: The "bosom of the Father and the Spirit," home to Solitary Messengers and other spirit personalities.


    Seraphington: The "bosom of the Son and the Spirit," home to angelic hosts and the secret of seraphic transport.


    Ascendington: The "bosom of the Father, Son, and Spirit," home to ascendant creatures and the secret of the evolution of the immortal soul.


    Each world has its own unique mysteries, secrets, and functions, which are often beyond understanding, but always completely fascinating!

    Urantia Paper 13—The Sacred Spheres of Paradise—§0-1. The Seven Sacred Worlds of the FATHER
    Feb 24 2025
    This week on The Cosmic Citizen we will begin a new paper, Paper 13, "The Sacred Spheres of Paradise."

    Between the central Isle of Paradise and the innermost Havona planetary circuits, there are three lesser circuits of special spheres. They include the seven secret spheres of the Universal Father (innermost circuit), the seven luminous worlds of the Eternal Son (middle circuit), and the seven immense spheres of the Infinite Spirit (outermost circuit)

    Reading Section 1 we discover that these worlds are forbidden to most beings. They are directed by the Trinitized Secrets of Supremacy, and they are as follows:

    Divinington: The "bosom of the Father," home to Thought Adjusters and other beings from the Universal Father.

    Sonarington: The "bosom of the Son," home to the Sons of God and the secret of divine incarnation.

    Spiritington: The "bosom of the Spirit," home to high beings representing the Infinite Spirit and the secret of reflectivity.

    Vicegerington: The "bosom of the Father and the Son," home to beings created by the Father and the Son, and the secret of trinitization.

    Solitarington: The "bosom of the Father and the Spirit," home to Solitary Messengers and other spirit personalities.

    Seraphington: The "bosom of the Son and the Spirit," home to angelic hosts and the secret of seraphic transport.

    Ascendington: The "bosom of the Father, Son, and Spirit," home to ascendant creatures and the secret of the evolution of the immortal soul.

    Each world has its own unique secrets and functions, often beyond understanding.
