The Sublime Adventure – XI. Evolutionary Worlds VS Architectural Worlds (2 of 2)

Architectural Worlds
These are made-to-order worlds; they are built according to
plans and specification for some special purposes. An example
would be Salvington, the capital of Nebadon, and the 490 spheres
surrounding it. [P172].
These spheres are space bodies; they are not of an
evolutionary nature; they are actually built to meet a specific
intent. While they share the light of near-by suns, they are
independently lighted and heated.
All of these worlds are paradisiacal. “They are indeed
heavenly abodes, and they increase in material size, morontia
beauty, and spirit glory from Jerusem to the central Isle. And
all the satellites of these headquarters worlds are also
architectural spheres.” [P174].
There is an enormous number of these spheres.
“If all the projected local universes and their components
parts were established, there would be slightly less than five
hundred billion architectural worlds in the seven
superuniverses.” [P175].
On Nebadon alone, there are 647,591 architectural worlds.
[P416]. “It required almost one million years to complete these
clusters of specially created worlds.” And this is only for “…
the architectural worlds of Salvington and the one hundred
constellation headquarters groups of planets…” Subsequent to
that, and over time, the local systems worlds were constructed.
