On this [[sphere]] more positive [[educational]] [[work]] is begun.

On this third mansion world the [[survivors]] really begin their [[progressive]] [[morontia]] [[culture]]. The chief [[purpose]] of this [[training]] is to enhance the [[understanding]] of the correlation of [[morontia]] [[mota]] and [[mortal]] [[logic]], the [[co-ordination]] of [[morontia]] [[mota]] and [[human]] [[philosophy]]. [[Surviving]] [[mortals]] now gain [[practical]] [[insight]] into true [[metaphysics]].
