186,000 miles per second x 60 sec. x 60 min. x 24 hrs. x 9 Urantia days = 144,633,600,000 miles in 3 Satania periods.
Oh okay. I got a similar number of miles (144,851,328,000 miles = 259,200 earth seconds in 3 earth days x 558,840 maximum miles per second velocity of seraphic transport), but both yours and mine are well under the distance light travels in one year (6,000,000,000,000 miles). If Nigel’s info is helpful in estimating the distance from earth to Jerusem, then our numbers are far off the mark. In other words it takes a very, very long time for transport seraphim to go to Mansonia.
But what’s the hurry? I want to go to Mansonia number one, because I do not want to miss out on a single bit of training!
Here is a supplemental reference:
23:3.2 The universe is well supplied with spirits who utilize gravity for purposes of transit; they can go anywhere any time — instanter — but they are not persons. Certain other gravity traversers are personal beings, such as Gravity Messengers and Transcendental Recorders, but they are not available to the super- and the local universe administrators. The worlds teem with angels and men and other highly personal beings, but they are handicapped by time and space: The limit of velocity for most nonenseraphimed beings is 186,280 miles of your world per second of your time; the midway creatures and certain others can, often do, attain double velocity — 372,560 miles per second — while the seraphim and others can traverse space at triple velocity, about 558,840 miles per second. There are, however, no transit or messenger personalities who function between the instantaneous velocities of the gravity traversers and the comparatively slow speeds of the seraphim, except the Solitary Messengers.
