48:0.1 [[The Gods]] cannot—at least they do not—[[transform]] a [[creature]] of gross [[animal]] [[nature]] into a [[perfected]] [[spirit]] by some [[mysterious]] [[act]] of [[creative]] [[magic]]. When [[the Creators]] [[desire]] to produce [[perfect]] [[beings]], they do so by direct and [[original]] [[creation]], but they never undertake to [[convert]] [[animal]]-[[origin]] and [[material]] [[creatures]] into [[beings]] of [[perfection]] in a single step.
48:0.2 The [[morontia]] life, extending as it does over the various [[stages]] of the [[local universe]] [[career]], is the only [[possible]] approach whereby [[material]] [[mortals]] could [[attain]] the [[threshold]] of the [[spirit]] world. What [[magic]] could [[death]], the [[natural]] dissolution of the [[material]] [[body]], hold that such a [[simple]] step should instantly [[transform]] the [[mortal]] and [[material]] [[mind]] into an [[immortal]] and [[perfected]] [[spirit]]? Such [[beliefs]] are but [[ignorant]] [[superstition]]s and pleasing [[fables]].
48:0.3 Always this [[morontia]] [[transition]] [[intervenes]] between the [[mortal]] e[[state]] and the subsequent [[spirit]] [[status]] of [[surviving]] [[human]] [[beings]]. This [[intermediate]] [[state]] of [[universe]] [[progress]] [[differs]] markedly in the various [[local creations]], but in [[intent]] and [[purpose]] they are all quite similar. The [[arrangement]] of the [[Mansion Worlds|mansion]] and higher [[morontia]] worlds in [[Nebadon]] is fairly [[typical]] of the [[morontia]] [[transition]] [[regimes]] in this part of [[Orvonton]].
