Urantia Text [|Paper 43]:0 [|THE CONSTELLATIONS]
43:0.1 [|Urantia] is commonly [|referred] to as 606 of [|Satania] in [|Norlatiadek] of [|Nebadon], [|meaning] the six hundred sixth [|inhabited world] in the [|local system] of [|Satania], situated in the [|constellation] of [|Norlatiadek], one of the one hundred [|constellations] of the [|local universe] of [|Nebadon]. [|Constellations] being the primary [|divisions] of a [|local universe], their rulers link the [|local systems] of [|inhabited worlds] to the [|central administration] of the [|local universe] on [|Salvington] and by [|reflectivity] to the [|superadministration] of the [|Ancients of Days] on [|Uversa]. 43:0.2 The [|government] of your [|constellation] is situated in a [|cluster] of 771 [|architectural spheres], the centermost and largest of which is [|Edentia], the seat of the [|administration] of the [|Constellation Fathers], the[| Most Highs] of [|Norlatiadek]. [|Edentia] itself is approximately [|one hundred] times as large as your world. The seventy major [|spheres] surrounding [|Edentia] are about [|ten] times the size of [|Urantia], while the ten [|satellites] which revolve around each of these seventy worlds are about the size of [|Urantia]. These 771 [|architectural spheres] are quite comparable in size to those of other [|constellations]. 43:0.3 [|Edentia] [|time] reckoning and distance [|measurement] are those of [|Salvington], and like the [|spheres] of the universe capital, the [|constellation] [|headquarters worlds] are fully supplied with all [|orders] of [|celestial] [|intelligences]. In general, these [|personalities] are not very [|different] from those described in [|connection] with the [|universe administration]. 43:0.4 The [|supervisor seraphim], the third order of [|local universe] [|angels], are assigned to the [|service] of the [|constellations]. They make their [|headquarters] on the capital spheres and minister extensively to the encircling [|morontia]-[|training] [|worlds]. In [|Norlatiadek] the seventy major [|spheres], [|together] with the seven hundred minor [|satellites], are inhabited by the [|univitatia], the [|permanent] [|citizens] of the [|constellation]. All these [|architectural worlds] are fully [|administered] by the various [|groups] of [|native] life, for the greater part unrevealed but including the [|efficient] [|spironga] and the [|beautiful] [|spornagia]. Being the mid-point in the [|morontia]-[|training] [|regime], as you might suspect, the [|morontia] life of the [|constellations] is both [|typical] and [|ideal]. 

 ==Urantia Text [|Paper 43]: [|3. THE MOST HIGHS OF NORLATIADEK] ==

43:3.1 The rulers of the [|constellations] are of the [|Vorondadek] order of [|local universe] sonship. When commissioned to [|active] [|duty] in the [|universe] as constellation rulers or otherwise, these Sons are known as the [|Most Highs] since they embody the highest [|administrative] [|wisdom], coupled with the most farseeing and [|intelligent] [|loyalty], of all the [|orders] of the [|Local Universe Sons of God]. Their [|personal] [|integrity] and their [|group] [|loyalty] have never been questioned; no disaffection of the [|Vorondadek] Sons has ever occurred in [|Nebadon]. 43:3.2 At least [|three] [|Vorondadek Sons] are commissioned by [|Gabriel] as the [|Most Highs] of each of the [|Nebadon] [|constellations]. The presiding member of this trio is known as the [|Constellation Father] and his two [|associates] as the //senior Most High// and the //junior Most High//. A [|Constellation Father] reigns for ten thousand standard years (about 50,000 [|Urantia] years), having previously served as junior associate and as senior associate for [|equal] periods. 43:3.3 [|The Psalmist] knew that [|Edentia] was ruled by [|three] [|Constellation Fathers] and accordingly [|spoke] of their abode in the plural: "[|There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the most holy place of the tabernacles of the Most Highs.]"[|[1]] 43:3.4 Down through the [|ages] there has been great [|confusion] on [|Urantia] regarding the various universe rulers. Many later [|teachers] confused their vague and indefinite [|tribal] [|deities] with the [|Most High Fathers]. Still later, the [|Hebrews] merged all of these [|celestial] rulers into a composite Deity. One [|teacher] [|understood] that the [|Most Highs] were not the [|Supreme] Rulers, for he said, "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty."[|[2]] In the [|Urantia] [|records] it is very [|difficult] at times to know exactly who is referred to by the term "Most High." But [|Daniel] fully [|understood] these matters. He said, "The Most High rules in the kingdom of men and gives it to whomsoever he will."[|[3]] 43:3.5 The [|Constellation Fathers] are little occupied with the [|individuals] of an [|inhabited planet], but they are closely [|associated] with those [|legislative] and lawmaking [|functions] of the [|constellations] which so greatly concern every [|mortal] [|race] and [|national] [|group] of the [|inhabited worlds]. 43:3.6 Although the [|constellation] [|regime] stands between you and the [|universe] [|administration], as [|individuals] you would ordinarily be little concerned with the [|constellation] [|government]. Your great interest would [|normally] [|center] in the [|local system], [|Satania]; but temporarily, [|Urantia] is closely related to the [|constellation] rulers because of certain [|system] and [|planetary] conditions growing out of the [|Lucifer rebellion]. 43:3.7 The [|Edentia] [|Most Highs] seized certain [|phases] of [|planetary] [|authority] on the rebellious worlds at the time of the [|Lucifer] secession. They have [|continued] to exercise this [|power], and the [|Ancients of Days] long since confirmed this [|assumption] of [|control] over these wayward worlds. They will no doubt continue to [|exercise] this assumed [|jurisdiction] as long as [|Lucifer] lives. Much of this [|authority] would ordinarily, in a loyal system, be invested in the [|System Sovereign]. 43:3.8 But there is still another way in which [|Urantia] became [|peculiarly] related to the [|Most Highs]. When [|Michael], the [|Creator Son], was on his [|terminal bestowal mission], since the successor of [|Lucifer] was not in full [|authority] in the [|local system], all [|Urantia] affairs which concerned the [|Michael bestowal] were [|immediately] supervised by the [|Most Highs] of [|Norlatiadek].
