Dante passes the examination, and then meets and speaks to [[Adam]].

The ninth sphere is the Primum Mobile ('first mover'), whose rotation governs the movements of all the other heavens inside it. There is no [[time]] outside the Primum Mobile, which is where [[God]] lives. Dante sees God as an infinitely small, infinitely bright point of light, surrounded by nine circles of lights representing the nine [[angel]]ic orders.

There is no [[time]] outside the Primum Mobile, which is where [[God]] lives. Dante sees God as an infinitely small, infinitely bright point of light, surrounded by nine circles of lights representing the nine [[angel]]ic orders. After Dante ascends beyond the Primum Mobile into the Empyrean (the outermost part of Heaven, which is beyond time), he sees God again, this time as a vast, shining circle with the saints arrayed around it and angels flitting to and fro.
In the Empyrean, Beatrice joins the other saints and [[St Bernard]] takes over as Dante's guide for the final stage of his journey.
