The average morontia temple seats about three hundred thousand spectators. These edifices are not used for [[worship]], play, or for receiving broadcasts; they are devoted to the special ceremonies of the planet, such as: [[communication]]s with the [[System Sovereign]] or with the [[Most Highs]], special [[vision|visualization]] ceremonies designed to reveal the [[personality]] [[presence]] of [[spirit]] [[being]]s, and [[silence|silent]] cosmic contemplation. The schools of cosmic [[philosophy]] here conduct their graduation exercises, and here also do the mortals of the realm receive planetary recognition for achievements of high social service and for other outstanding attainments.

Such a morontia temple also serves as the place of assembly for witnessing the translation of living mortals to the morontia existence. It is because the translation temple is composed of morontia material that it is not destroyed by the blazing glory of the consuming fire which so completely obliterates the physical bodies of those mortals who therein experience final [http://mercy.urantia.org/cgi-bin/webglimpse/mfs/usr/local/www/data/papers?link=http://mercy.urantia.org/papers/paper55.html&file=/usr/local/www/data/papers/paper55.html&line=62#mfs fusion] with their divine Adjusters. On a large world these departure flares are almost [[continuum|continuous]], and as the number of translations increases, subsidiary morontia life shrines are provided in different areas of the planet. Not long since I sojourned on a world in the far north whereon twenty-five morontia shrines were functioning.

On presettled worlds, planets without morontia temples, these fusion flashes many times occur in the [[planetary]] atmosphere, where the material body of a translation candidate is elevated by the [[midway creatures]] and the physical controllers.
