In each local system there are 10,000 planets, making a total of 7,000,000,000 in the universe. [1] A local system consists of approximately one thousand evolutionary planets, excluding worlds in light and life or in the prehuman stage. [2]
The planets of Satania are numbered serially according to their registration as inhabited worlds, with Urantia being the 606th world in this local system. [3]
Throughout Nebadon, each local system has a midsonite world where Melchizedeks serve as life carriers, with Mater Eves selected from volunteers to mate with them, as chosen by the System Sovereign. [4]
The local systems neighboring Satania in Norlatiadek are evolutionary and progressive, making the functions of the Master Physical Controllers within Satania easier to comprehend. [5]
Local systems are governed by System Sovereigns presiding over inhabited worlds and architectural spheres. [6] Local systems serve as executive units, not adjudicative, executing legislative enactments from constellations and judicial decrees from Salvington. [7] In this local universe, Nebadon time sets the standard for constellations while systems maintain their own time standards. [8]
Conciliating commissions at system headquarters serve as understanding friends, settling group contentions between different orders of beings on local systems. [9]
Rebellion on a planet leads to immediate isolation, with successor Planetary Princes stepping in once insurrection is partially resolved by spiritual interventions. [10]
Ambassadors, consuls, and observers are appointed by decree to represent higher levels of existence to lower levels within the confines of their respective domains. [11]
Michael of Nebadon selected a disintegrating nebula for his universe-building adventure, completing the local system headquarters planets over a period from almost one million years ago to about five billion years ago. [12]
In each local system of approximately one thousand inhabited planets, seven mansion worlds serve as the receiving worlds for ascending mortals, usually satellites of the system capital, reflecting the universal plan of initial mortal detention on seven worlds of progressive training in Orvonton. [13]
The fifty-seven architectural worlds are independently lighted, heated, watered, energized, and maintained by the Satania Power Center and the native spornagia. [14] Each Assigned Sentinel is a direct representative of Supreme Executive Number Seven across the ten thousand systems of a local creation. [15]
One Supreme Power Center of the sixth order is permanently stationed at the gravity focus of each local system, coordinating power circuits for the planets and ensuring efficient distribution of energy through physical controllers. [16]
The administration of Satania is overseen by the System Sovereign and an expanded executive group of Lanonandeks, supported by a council of world rulers and the Jerusem council of one thousand electors, all working in harmony to govern the diverse system of fifty-seven architectural worlds with wisdom and efficiency. [17]
Fusion with the Adjuster typically occurs within the ascender's local system, whether on their planet of nativity, the mansion worlds, the system headquarters, during the constellation sojourn, or even on the local universe capital. [18] Local systems are linked by reflectivity to Ancients of Days in the central administration of a local universe. [19] Local systems are particularly concerned with biologic problems, while constellation rulers focus on social and governmental conditions. [20] The architectural worlds are independently powered and maintained by spornagia. [21]
The physical conditions on individual planets in local systems are influenced by universal laws, but also display unique characteristics reflecting the decisions of the Life Carriers, resulting in a variety of creature life and living manifestations within a system. [22]
During the era of Planetary Prince, local systems are established within the circuits of the planetary system for the administration of celestial helpers and increasing numbers of Thought Adjusters. [23]
The corporeal staffs of Planetary Princes, brought by seraphic transport to Urantia, were deprived of the sustenance of the system life circuits and degraded to the status of mortal beings, ultimately becoming the Nodites. [24]
The tree of life provided immortal life currents to the Caligastia one hundred, allowing them to live indefinitely until their rebellion disrupted their connection to the system circuits. [25]
Survivors undergo 570 morontia changes, with 8 in the system, 71 in the constellation, and 491 on the spheres of Salvington, organized by Morontia Power Supervisors to unite material and spiritual energies for a progressive transformation towards spirit. [26]
Ascenders on Edentia are midway between their former material state and their future spiritual status, maintaining a general morontia status while evolving from near-animal to ascending spirit. [27]
In light and life, when an entire system is settled, a new order of government is established, with the Planetary Sovereigns becoming part of the system conclave under the veto of the Constellation Fathers, resulting in a virtually self-governing system with legislative assembly, courts, and a perpetual System Sovereign, supported by midsoniters and Teacher Sons in advancing philosophical and spiritual thinking. [28]
When an entire system achieves system light and life, Planetary Sovereigns join the system conclave, forming a new governing body subject to the Constellation Fathers' veto, resulting in a self-governing system with a legislative assembly on the headquarters world and courts on the system capitals.
