48:8.2 There is a definite and [[divine]] [[purpose]] in all this [[morontia]] and subsequent [[spirit]] [[scheme]] of [[mortal]] [[progression]], this elaborate [[universe]] [[training]] school for [[ascending]] [[creatures]]. It is the [[design]] of [[the Creators]] to afford the [[creatures]] of [[time]] a [[graduated]] [[opportunity]] to master the details of the operation and [[administration]] of the [[grand universe]], and this long [[course]] of [[training]] is best carried forward by having the [[surviving]] [[mortal]] climb up [[gradually]] and by [[actual]] [[participation]] in every step of the [[ascent]].

There is a goal of [[transcendent]] [[service]] concealed beyond the [[horizon]] of the [[present universe age]]. If [[the Gods]] [[designed]] merely to take you on one long and [[eternal]] [[joy]] excursion, they certainly would not so largely turn the whole [[universe]] into one vast and intricate [[practical]] [[training]] school, requisition a substantial part of the [[celestial]] [[creation]] as [[teachers]] and instructors, and then spend [[ages]] upon ages [[piloting]] you, one by one, through this gigantic [[universe]] school of [[experiential]] [[training]]. The furtherance of the [[scheme]] of [[mortal]] [[progression]] seems to be one of the chief [[businesses]] of the present [[organized]] [[universe]], and the [[majority]] of innumerable [[orders]] of [[created]] [[intelligences]] are either directly or indirectly engaged in advancing some [[phase]] of this [[progressive]] [[perfection]] [[plan]].
