The Satania system of inhabited worlds is far removed from Uversa and that great sun cluster which functions as the physical or astronomic center of the seventh superuniverse. From Jerusem, the headquarters of Satania, it is over two hundred thousand light-years to the physical center of the superuniverse of Orvonton, far, far away in the dense diameter of the Milky Way. Satania is on the periphery of the local universe, and Nebadon is now well out towards the edge of Orvonton. From the outermost system of inhabited worlds to the center of the superuniverse is a trifle less than two hundred and fifty thousand light-years.

Observation of the so-called Milky Way discloses the comparative increase in Orvonton stellar density when the heavens are viewed in one direction, while on either side the density diminishes; the number of stars and other spheres decreases away from the chief plane of our material superuniverse. When the angle of observation is propitious, gazing through the main body of this realm of maximum density, you are looking toward the residential universe and the center of all things.

Of the ten major divisions of Orvonton, eight have been roughly identified by Urantian astronomers. The other two are difficult of separate recognition because you are obliged to view these phenomena from the inside. If you could look upon the superuniverse of Orvonton from a position far-distant in space, you would immediately recognize the ten major sectors of the seventh galaxy.

There are not many sun-forming nebulae active in Orvonton at the present time, though Andromeda, which is outside the inhabited superuniverse, is very active.

The Sagittarius sector and all other sectors and divisions of Orvonton are in rotation around Uversa, and some of the confusion of Urantian star observers arises out of the illusions and relative distortions produced by the following multiple revolutionary movements:

1. The revolution of Urantia around its sun.
2. The circuit of your solar system about the nucleus of the former Andronover nebula.
3. The rotation of the Andronover stellar family and the associated clusters about the composite rotation-gravity center of the star cloud of Nebadon.
4. The swing of the local star cloud of Nebadon and its associated creations around the Sagittarius center of their minor sector.
5. The rotation of the one hundred minor sectors, including Sagittarius, about their major sector.
6. The whirl of the ten major sectors, the so-called star drifts, about the Uversa headquarters of Orvonton.
7. The movement of Orvonton and six associated superuniverses around Paradise and Havona, the counterclockwise processional of the superuniverse space level.

The Milky Way galaxy is composed of vast numbers of former spiral and other nebulae, and many still retain their original configuration. But as the result of internal catastrophes and external attraction, many have suffered such distortion and rearrangement as to cause these enormous aggregations to appear as gigantic luminous masses of blazing suns, like the Magellanic Cloud. The globular type of star clusters predominates near the outer margins of Orvonton.

6. The whirl of the ten major sectors, the so-called star drifts, about the Uversa headquarters of Orvonton.

Truth may be but relatively inspired, even though revelation is invariably a spiritual phenomenon. While statements with reference to cosmology are never inspired, such revelations are of immense value in that they at least transiently clarify knowledge by:

1. The reduction of confusion by the authoritative elimination of error.

2. The co-ordination of known or about-to-be-known facts and observations.

3. The restoration of important bits of lost knowledge concerning epochal transactions in the distant past.

4. The supplying of information which will fill in vital missing gaps in otherwise earned knowledge.

5. Presenting cosmic data in such a manner as to illuminate the spiritual teachings contained in the accompanying revelation.

It's clear you meant "revolve" but confused the terms.

If Jerusem was near Alnitak as you speculate, then Jerusem would be closer to the periphery of this galaxy than Urantia.

Please let us continue in this pondering.

It's clear you meant "revolve" but confused the terms.

English is not my native language. Please have a mercy on me...

OK, so let me summarize some basic findings.

1) Urantia Book defines Andromeda as a nebula (15:4.7 and also 41:8.3) although in fact it is a spiral galaxy. This leads me to the following conclusion: Andronover nebula is the Milky Way Galaxy. Would you agree?

2) Because of our 'outer' position within the Milky Way Galaxy, we can not see a large portion of Orvonton simply because the highly dense center of our galaxy blocks the view. Would you agree?

3) If Andromeda is already outside of the occupied sphere this means that the entire Universe of Universes (consisting of seven superuniverses + Island of Paradise) forms merely a portion of the Local Group of Galaxies that comprises 30+ galaxies with Andromeda and Milky Way being the dominant ones. Would you agree?

4) Should this be true, one may say that the actually occupied space is 'ridiculously' small compared with how big the universe is. It is like having 1000 fish living in the Caspian Sea that has a potential of providing life to billions upon billions of fish. Would you agree?

5) I also believe that our sun revolves around the center of our galaxy only. I do not think that there exists any kind of sub-revolution within the individual galaxical arms. If so, it would seem that our galaxy revolves around something which is relatively close to us (200,000 ly), but which we can not see because it is behind the galaxy center that denies us the view. Would you agree?

6) If the Universe of Universes is such a 'small thing', in that case some of the close-by galaxies (belonging to the Local Group) may in fact be other Superuniverses! Would you agree?

If Jerusem was near Alnitak as you speculate, then Jerusem would be closer to the periphery of this galaxy than Urantia.

I see no problem with that. Any regional capital has neighboring villages all around it. Some of those villages are inevitably closer to the national capital.

Urantia is comparatively isolated on the outskirts of Satania, your solar system, with one exception, being the farthest removed from Jerusem, while Satania itself is next to the outermost system of Norlatiadek, and this constellation is now traversing the outer fringe of Nebadon. You were truly among the least of all creation until Michael's bestowal elevated your planet to a position of honor and great universe interest. Sometimes the last is first, while truly the least becomes greatest.

Such is the constitution of the local star cloud of Nebadon, which today swings in an increasingly settled orbit about the Sagittarius center of that minor sector of Orvonton to which our local creation belongs.

The rotational center of your minor sector is situated far away in the enormous and dense star cloud of Sagittarius, around which your local universe and its associated creations all move, and from opposite sides of the vast Sagittarius subgalactic system you may observe two great streams of star clouds emerging in stupendous stellar coils.

The Sagittarius sector and all other sectors and divisions of Orvonton are in rotation around Uversa…

4. The swing of the local star cloud of Nebadon and its associated creations around the Sagittarius center of their minor sector.

5. The rotation of the one hundred minor sectors, including Sagittarius, about their major sector.

The Sagittarius sector and all other sectors and divisions of Orvonton are in rotation around Uversa, and some of the confusion of Urantian star observers arises out of the illusions and relative distortions produced by the following multiple revolutionary movements:

So if the entire galaxy is a minor sector as some quotes seem to imply, then how can the galactic arms whirl about the Uversa HQ of Orvonton?

Practically all of the starry realms visible to the naked eye on Urantia belong to the seventh section of the grand universe, the superuniverse of Orvonton. The vast Milky Way starry system represents the central nucleus of Orvonton, being largely beyond the borders of your local universe. This great aggregation of suns, dark islands of space, double stars, globular clusters, star clouds, spiral and other nebulae, together with myriads of individual planets, forms a watchlike, elongated-circular grouping of about one seventh of the inhabited evolutionary universes.

Of the ten major divisions of Orvonton, eight have been roughly identified by Urantian astronomers. The other two are difficult of separate recognition because you are obliged to view these phenomena from the inside. If you could look upon the superuniverse of Orvonton from a position far-distant in space, you would immediately recognize the ten major sectors of the seventh galaxy.

Now tell me what were are looking at...

Nebadon?
Minor Sector?
Major Sector?
Orvonton?

1. The reduction of confusion by the authoritative elimination of error.

Your version (Milky Way Galaxy = Orvonton) is indeed one of the viable options.

It IS supported by several passages found in the UB. Nevertheless, it also runs into many troubles.
