48:1.1 The [[morontia]] realms are the [[local universe]] [[liaison]] [[spheres]] between the [[material]] and [[spiritual]] [[levels]] of [[creature]] [[existence]]. This [[morontia]] life has been known on [[Urantia]] since the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:1._PRINCE_CALIGASTIA early days] of the [[Planetary Prince]]. From time to time this [[transition]] [[state]] has been taught to [[mortals]], and the [[concept]], in distorted [[form]], has found a place in present-day [[religions]].[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purgatory]

48:1.4 The early [[morontia]] life in the [[local systems]] is very much like that of your present [[material]] world, becoming less [[physical]] and more truly [[morontial]] on the [[constellation]] [[study]] worlds. And as you [[advance]] to the [[Salvington]] [[spheres]], you increasingly [[attain]] [[spiritual]] [[levels]].
