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 [https://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]

48:1.2 The [[morontia]] [[spheres]] are the [[transition]] [[phases]] of [[mortal]] [[ascension]] through the [[progression]] worlds of the [[local universe]].

These [[creations]] partake of the [[physical]] [[beauty]] and the [[morontia]] grandeur of the [[local universe]] [[headquarters]] [[spheres]].

48:6.16 4. ''Morontia Counselors''. These ministers [[receive]] their [[name]] because they are assigned to [[teach]], direct, and [[counsel]] the [[surviving]] [[mortals]] from the worlds of [[human]] [[origin]], [[souls]] in [[transit]] to the higher schools of [[the system headquarters]]. They are the [[teachers]] of those who seek [[insight]] into the [[experiential]] [[unity]] of [[divergent]] life [[levels]], those who are attempting the [[integration]] of [[meanings]] and the [[unification]] of [[values]]. This is the [[function]] of [[philosophy]] in [[mortal]] life, of [[mota]] on the [[morontia]] [[spheres]].

48:6.17 [[Mota]] is more than a superior [[philosophy]]; it is to [[philosophy]] as two eyes are to one; it has a [[stereoscopic]] [[effect]] on [[meanings]] and [[values]]. [[Material]] [[man]] sees the [[universe]], as it were, with but one eye—[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flatland flat]. [[Mansion world]] [[students]] [[achieve]] [[cosmic]] [[perspective]]—[[depth]]—by [[superimposing]] the [[perceptions]] of the [[morontia]] life upon the [[perceptions]] of the [[physical]] life. And they are enabled to bring these [[material]] and [[morontial]] [[viewpoints]] into true [[focus]] largely through the untiring [[ministry]] of their [[seraphic]] [[counselors]], who so [[patiently]] [[teach]] the [[mansion world]] [[students]] and the [[morontia]] [[progressors]]. Many of the teaching [[counselors]] of the [[supreme order of seraphim]] began their [[careers]] as advisers of the newly [[liberated]] [[souls]] of the [[mortals]] of [[time]].

They serve as [[emergency]] [[space]] [[traverse]]rs and [[perform]] numerous other regular and special [[duties]].
