  • Urantia Paper 14—The Central and Divine Universe—§6. The Purpose of the Central Universe

    Urantia Paper 14—The Central and Divine Universe—§6. The Purpose of the Central Universe
    May 13 2025
    This week on THE COSMIC CITIZEN we finished our study of Urantia Paper 14. THE CENTRAL AND DIVINE UNIVERSE, with a reading of Section 6. THE PURPOSE OF THE CENTAL UNIVERSE.

    The Central Universe, AKA Havona, serves as the grand design of existence. It is the perfect model for all Creation. It’s a universe that is replete, unlike the evolving universes that surround it. It is also the final training ground and the ultimate destination for those who ascend and seek divine perfection.

    In the grand design of existence, there exists a single, unchanging universe—Havona. Unlike the evolving and imperfect cosmic realms, Havona stands eternally complete. It is a divine masterpiece, and it serves as a sanctuary, a school, and a gateway to Paradise.

    Havona is also the ultimate training ground, a passageway for ascendant souls who seek wisdom and understanding. For all who journey inward from the farthest reaches of time and space, Havona brings them to the threshold of divinity.
    Beyond its role as a place of spiritual growth, Havona is also the residence of divine beings. The Universal Father, the Eternal Son, and the Infinite Spirit find their home in the realm beyond Havona, but this perfect universe serves as an essential bridge between the material worlds and Paradise. It is here that celestial personalities, messengers, and teachers refine their abilities and prepare to guide the evolving universes.

    Havona is unchanging. It is the cosmic anchor and steady foundation upon which all creation rests. While imperfection and uncertainty may ripple through the evolving universes, Havona is the perfect blueprint for all of them. It is an example of what creation can become when harmony and truth reign supreme.
    Havona is more than a place, it’s a promise—a testament to the eternal, guiding presence of divine wisdom. It stands as a beacon for all beings who strive for perfection.

    Urantia Paper 14—The Central and Divine Universe—§5. Life in Havona
    May 4 2025
    This week on The Cosmic Citizen we continued our study of Urantia Paper 14—The Central and Divine Universe—§5. Life in Havona.


    This section describes the unique and extraordinary nature of existence in the central universe. Unlike the evolutionary worlds of time and space, Havona is a realm of absolute perfection, where life is inherently harmonious and free from the struggles of material existence.


    It explains that Havona inhabitants are diverse. They include native beings of the central universe, ascendant pilgrims from the evolutionary worlds, and various celestial personalities. These beings experience spiritual enlightenment, intellectual fulfillment, and supreme joy in their interactions. The perfect environment of Havona allows for continuous learning and growth and it prepares ascendant souls for their eventual approach to Paradise.


    This section also reveals that, unlike the material struggles of Urantia, life in Havona is characterized by stability, beauty, and divine purpose.

  • Urantia Paper 14—The Central and Divine Universe—§4. Creatures of the Central Universe

    Urantia Paper 14—The Central and Divine Universe—§4. Creatures of the Central Universe
    Apr 27 2025
    On this episode of The Cosmic Citizen, we continued our study of Urantia Paper 14. The Central and Divine Universe, with a reading of Section 4. Creatures of the Central Universe.

    This section describes the diverse forms of life in Havona, the perfect and eternal central universe. It teaches that seven basic types of beings exist there.

    Unlike life on the evolutionary worlds, decay and death do not exist in Havona. The natives of Havona were created by the Paradise Trinity. Their existence transcends human concepts of time and space, reflecting the eternal nature of the Paradise-Havona system.

    Havona natives participate in the physical and spiritual economy of the divine realm. While they serve as guides and ministers to beings ascending from the superuniverses or descending from Paradise, their own existence holds intrinsic significance beyond these interactions. Their worship and devotion fulfill the ideals of divine beauty and truth, mirroring God’s will by their very nature.

    The central universe is teeming with intelligent lifeforms seeking higher realizations of divinity, ultimate truth, and absolute reality.
