47:1.1 Although only [[finaliters]] and certain [[groups]] of salvaged [[children]] and their caretakers are resident on [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_45#45:1._TRANSITIONAL_CULTURE_WORLDS transitional world number one]], provision is made for the [[entertainment]] of all [[classes]] of [[spirit]] [[beings]], [[transition]] [[mortals]], and [[student]] [[visitors]]. The [[spornagia]], who [[function]] on all of these worlds, are [[hospitable]] [[hosts]] to all [[beings]] whom they can [[recognize]]. They have a vague [[feeling]] concerning the [[finaliters]] but cannot [[visualize]] them. They must regard them much as you do the [[angels]] in your present [[physical]] [[state]].

47:1.2 Though the [[finaliter]] world is a [[sphere]] of exquisite [[physical]] [[beauty]] and extraordinary [[morontia]] embellishment, the great [[spirit]] abode located at the [[center]] of [[activities]], the [[temple]] of the [[finaliters]], is not [[visible]] to the unaided [[material]] or early [[morontia]] [[vision]]. But the [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_29#29:4._THE_MASTER_PHYSICAL_CONTROLLERS energy transformers] are [[able]] to [[visualize]] many of these [[realities]] to [[ascending mortals]], and from time to time they do thus [[function]], as on the occasions of the [[class]] assemblies of the [[mansion world]] [[students]] on this [[cultural]] [[sphere]].

47:1.3 All through the [[mansion world]] [[experience]] you are in a way [[spiritually]] [[aware]] of the [[presence]] of your [[glorified]] [[brethren]] of [[Paradise]] [[attainment]], but it is very refreshing, now and then, actually to [[perceive]] them as they [[function]] in their [[headquarters]] [[abodes]]. You will not [[spontaneously]] [[visualize]] [[finaliters]] until you acquire true [[spirit]] [[vision]].

47:1.4 On the first [[mansion world]] all [[survivors]] must pass the [[requirements]] of the [[parental]] commission from their [[native]] [[planets]]. The present [[Urantia]] commission consists of twelve [[parental]] couples, recently arrived, who have had [[mortal]] [[experience]] in rearing [[three]] or more [[children]] to the [[pubescent]] age. [[Service]] on this commission is [[rotational]] and is for only [[ten]] years as a rule. All who fail to [[satisfy]] these commissioners as to their [[parental]] [[experience]] must further [[qualify]] by [[service]] in the [[homes]] of the [[Material Sons]] on [[Jerusem]] or in part in the [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_47#47:2._THE_PROBATIONARY_NURSERY probationary nursery] on the [[finaliters]]' world.

47:1.5 But irrespective of [[parental]] [[experience]], [[mansion world]] [[parents]] who have [[growing]] [[children]] in the [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_47#47:2._THE_PROBATIONARY_NURSERY probation nursery] are given every [[opportunity]] to [[collaborate]] with the [[morontia]] custodians of such [[children]] regarding their [[instruction]] and [[training]]. These [[parents]] are permitted to [[journey]] there for visits as often as four times a year. And it is one of the most [[touchingly]] [[beautiful]] scenes of all the [[ascending career]] to [[observe]] the [[mansion world]] [[parents]] [[embrace]] their [[material]] [[offspring]] on the occasions of their periodic [[pilgrimages]] to the [[finaliter]] world. While one or both [[parents]] may leave a [[mansion world]] ahead of the child, they are quite often contemporary for a [[season]].

47:1.6 No [[ascending mortal]] can escape the [[experience]] of rearing [[children]]—their own or others—either on the [[material]] worlds or subsequently on the [[finaliter]] world or on [[Jerusem]]. [[Fathers]] must pass through this [[essential]] [[experience]] just as certainly as [[mothers]]. It is an unfortunate and mistaken notion of modern peoples on [[Urantia]] that child [[culture]] is largely the task of [[mothers]]. [[Children]] need [[fathers]] as well as [[mothers]], and [[fathers]] need this [[parental]] [[experience]] as much as do [[mothers]].

In the event of the [[survival]] of either or both of such a child's [[parents]], the [[guardian of destiny]] deputizes her [[associated]] [[cherubim]] as the custodian of the child's [[potential]] [[identity]], charging the [[cherubim]] with the [[responsibility]] of delivering this undeveloped [[soul]] into the hands of the [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_48#48:5._THE_MANSION_WORLD_TEACHERS Mansion World Teachers] in the probationary [[nurseries]] of the [[morontia]] worlds.

[[Children]] of pre-Adjuster ages are cared for in [[families]] of five, ranging in ages from one year and under up to approximately five years, or that age when the [[Adjuster]] arrives.

47:3.1 On the [[mansion worlds]] the [[resurrected]] [[mortal]] [[survivors]] resume their lives just where they left off when overtaken by [[death]]. When you go from [[Urantia]] to the ''first mansion world'', you will notice considerable [[change]], but if you had come from a more [[normal]] and [[progressive]] [[sphere]] of [[time]], you would hardly notice the [[difference]] except for the [[fact]] that you were in [[possession]] of a [[different]] [[body]]; the tabernacle of flesh and blood has been left behind on the world of [[nativity]].

47:3.2 The very [[center]] of all [[activities]] on the ''first mansion world'' is the [[resurrection]] hall, the enormous [[temple]] of [[personality]] assembly.

There are one hundred thousand [[personal]] [[resurrection]] chambers in each of these [[seven]] wings terminating in the circular class assembly halls, which serve as the [[awakening]] chambers for as many as one million [[individuals]]. These halls are [[surrounded]] by the [[personality]] assembly chambers of the blended [[races]] of the [[normal]] [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_52#52:3._POST-ADAMIC_MAN post-Adamic worlds].

Throughout all [[eternity]] you will recall the [[profound]] [[memory]] impressions of your first [[witnessing]] of these [[resurrection]] mornings.

47:3.6 From the [[resurrection]] halls you [[proceed]] to the [[Melchizedek]] sector, where you are assigned [[permanent]] [[residence]]. Then you enter upon [[ten]] days of [[personal]] [[liberty]]. You are [[free]] to [[explore]] the [[immediate]] vicinity of your new [[home]] and to familiarize yourself with the [[program]] which lies [[immediately]] ahead. You also have [[time]] to [[gratify]] your [[desire]] to consult the registry and call upon your loved ones and other [[earth]] [[friends]] who may have preceded you to these worlds. At the end of your [[ten]]-day period of [[leisure]] you begin the second step in the [[Paradise]] [[journey]], for the ''mansion worlds'' are [[actual]] [[training]] [[spheres]], not merely [[detention]] [[planets]].

47:6.4 The [[intellectual]] and [[social]] [[culture]] of this ''fourth mansion world'' is [[comparable]] to the [[mental]] and social life of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_52#52:7._POST-TEACHER_SON_MAN post-Teacher Son age] on the [[planets]] of [[normal]] [[evolution]]. The [[spiritual]] [[status]] is much in advance of such a [[mortal]] [[dispensation]].

==47:7. THE FIFTH MANSION WORLD==

−

47:7.1 Transport to the fifth mansion world represents a tremendous forward step in the life of a morontia progressor. The experience on this world is a real foretaste of Jerusem life. Here you begin to realize the high destiny of the loyal evolutionary worlds since they may normally progress to this stage during their natural planetary development. The culture of this mansion world corresponds in general to that of the early era of light and life on the planets of normal evolutionary progress. And from this you can understand why it is so arranged that the highly cultured and progressive types of beings who sometimes inhabit these advanced evolutionary worlds are exempt from passing through one or more, or even all, of the mansion spheres.

47:7.2 Having mastered the local universe language before leaving the fourth mansion world, you now devote more time to the perfection of the tongue of Uversa to the end that you may be proficient in both languages before arriving on Jerusem with residential status. All ascending mortals are bilingual from the system headquarters up to Havona. And then it is only necessary to enlarge the superuniverse vocabulary, still additional enlargement being required for residence on Paradise.

47:7.3 Upon arrival on mansonia number five the pilgrim is given permission to visit the transition world of corresponding number, the Sons' headquarters. Here the ascendant mortal becomes personally familiar with the various groups of divine sonship. He has heard of these superb beings and has already met them on Jerusem, but now he comes really to know them.

47:7.4 On the fifth mansonia you begin to learn of the constellation study worlds. Here you meet the first of the instructors who begin to prepare you for the subsequent constellation sojourn. More of this preparation continues on worlds six and seven, while the finishing touches are supplied in the sector of the ascending mortals on Jerusem.

−

47:7.5 A real birth of cosmic consciousness takes place on mansonia number five. You are becoming universe minded. This is indeed a time of expanding horizons. It is beginning to dawn upon the enlarging minds of the ascending mortals that some stupendous and magnificent, some supernal and divine, destiny awaits all who complete the progressive Paradise ascension, which has been so laboriously but so joyfully and auspiciously begun. At about this point the average mortal ascender begins to manifest bona fide experiential enthusiasm for the Havona ascent. Study is becoming voluntary, unselfish service natural, and worship spontaneous. A real morontia character is budding; a real morontia creature is evolving.

==47:8. THE SIXTH MANSION WORLD==

−

47:8.1 Sojourners on this sphere are permitted to visit transition world number six, where they learn more about the high spirits of the superuniverse, although they are not able to visualize many of these celestial beings. Here they also receive their first lessons in the prospective spirit career which so immediately follows graduation from the morontia training of the local universe.

47:8.3 This is a brilliant age for ascending mortals and usually witnesses the perfect fusion of the human mind and the divine Adjuster. In potential, this fusion may have occurred previously, but the actual working identity many times is not achieved until the time of the sojourn on the fifth mansion world or even the sixth.

−

47:8.4 The union of the evolving immortal soul with the eternal and divine Adjuster is signalized by the seraphic summoning of the supervising superangel for resurrected survivors and of the archangel of record for those going to judgment on the third day; and then, in the presence of such a survivor's morontia associates, these messengers of confirmation speak: " This is a beloved son in whom I am well pleased. " This simple ceremony marks the entrance of an ascending mortal upon the eternal career of Paradise service.

47:8.5 Immediately upon the confirmation of Adjuster fusion the new morontia being is introduced to his fellows for the first time by his new name and is granted the forty days of spiritual retirement from all routine activities wherein to commune with himself and to choose some one of the optional routes to Havona and to select from the differential techniques of Paradise attainment.

−

47:8.7 During the sojourn on world number six the mansion world students achieve a status which is comparable with the exalted development characterizing those evolutionary worlds which have normally progressed beyond the initial stage of light and life. The organization of society on this mansonia is of a high order. The shadow of the mortal nature grows less and less as these worlds are ascended one by one. You are becoming more and more adorable as you leave behind the coarse vestiges of planetary animal origin. " Coming up through great tribulation " serves to make glorified mortals very kind and understanding, very sympathetic and tolerant.

==47:9. THE SEVENTH MANSION WORLD==

−

47:9.1 The experience on this sphere is the crowning achievement of the immediate postmortal career. During your sojourn here you will receive the instruction of many teachers, all of whom will co-operate in the task of preparing you for residence on Jerusem. Any discernible differences between those mortals hailing from the isolated and retarded worlds and those survivors from the more advanced and enlightened spheres are virtually obliterated during the sojourn on the seventh mansion world. Here you will be purged of all the remnants of unfortunate heredity, unwholesome environment, and unspiritual planetary tendencies. The last remnants of the " mark of the beast " are here eradicated.

47:9.2 While sojourning on mansonia number seven, permission is granted to visit transition world number seven, the world of the Universal Father. Here you begin a new and more spiritual worship of the unseen Father, a habit you will increasingly pursue all the way up through your long ascending career. You find the Father's temple on this world of transitional culture, but you do not see the Father.

47:9.3 Now begins the formation of classes for graduation to Jerusem. You have gone from world to world as individuals, but now you prepare to depart for Jerusem in groups, although, within certain limits, an ascender may elect to tarry on the seventh mansion world for the purpose of enabling a tardy member of his earthly or mansonia working group to catch up with him.

47:9.4 The personnel of the seventh mansonia assemble on the sea of glass to witness your departure for Jerusem with residential status. Hundreds or thousands of times you may have visited Jerusem, but always as a guest; never before have you proceeded toward the system capital in the company of a group of your fellows who were bidding an eternal farewell to the whole mansonia career as ascending mortals.

47:9.5 You will greatly enjoy your progress through the seven dematerializing worlds; they are really demortalizing spheres. You are mostly human on the first mansion world, just a mortal being minus a material body, a human mind housed in a morontia ~~form—a~~ material body of the morontia world but not a mortal house of flesh and blood. You really pass from the mortal state to the immortal status at the time of Adjuster fusion, and by the time you have finished the Jerusem career, you will be full-fledged ~~morontians~~.

47:10.1 The reception of a new class of mansion world graduates is the signal for all Jerusem to assemble as a committee of welcome.

The morontia form granted you on departure from the mansion world career is such as will see you through to the end of the local universe experience.
