The Seven Mansion Worlds

47:10.1The re­cep­tion of a new class of man­sion world grad­u­ates is the sig­nal for all Je­ru­sem to as­sem­ble as a com­mit­tee of wel­come. Even the sporna­gia en­joy the ar­rival of these tri­umphant as­cend­ers of evo­lu­tion­ary ori­gin, those who have run the plan­e­tary race and fin­ished the man­sion world pro­gres­sion. Only the phys­i­cal con­trol­lers and Mor­ontia Power Super­vi­sors are ab­sent from these oc­ca­sions of re­joic­ing.

47:10.2John the Rev­e­la­tor saw a vi­sion of the ar­rival of a class of ad­vanc­ing mor­tals from the sev­enth man­sion world to their first heaven, the glo­ries of Je­ru­sem. He re­corded: “And I saw as it were a sea of glass min­gled with fire; and those who had gained the vic­tory over the beast that was orig­i­nally in them and over the im­age that per­sisted through the man­sion worlds and fi­nally over the last mark and trace, stand­ing on the sea of glass, hav­ing the harps of God, and singing the song of de­liv­er­ance from mor­tal fear and death.” (Per­fected space com­mu­ni­ca­tion is to be had on all these worlds; and your any­where re­cep­tion of such com­mu­ni­ca­tions is made pos­si­ble by car­ry­ing the “harp of God,” a mor­ontia con­trivance com­pen­sat­ing for the in­abil­ity to di­rectly ad­just the im­ma­ture mor­ontia sen­sory mech­a­nism to the re­cep­tion of space com­mu­ni­ca­tions.)

47:10.3Paul also had a view of the as­cen­dant-cit­i­zen corps of per­fect­ing mor­tals on Je­ru­sem, for he wrote: “But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the liv­ing God, the heav­enly Je­ru­sa­lem, and to an in­nu­mer­able com­pany of an­gels, to the grand as­sem­bly of Mi­chael, and to the spir­its of just men be­ing made per­fect.”

47:10.4Af­ter mor­tals have at­tained res­i­dence on the sys­tem head­quar­ters, no more lit­eral res­ur­rec­tions will be ex­pe­ri­enced. 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. Changes will be made from time to time, but you will re­tain this same form un­til you bid it farewell when you emerge as first-stage spir­its prepara­tory for tran­sit to the super­uni­verse worlds of as­cend­ing cul­ture and spirit train­ing.

47:10.5Seven times do those mor­tals who pass through the en­tire man­so­nia ca­reer ex­pe­ri­ence the ad­just­ment sleep and the res­ur­rec­tion awak­en­ing. But the last res­ur­rec­tion hall, the fi­nal awak­en­ing cham­ber, was left be­hind on the sev­enth man­sion world. No more will a form-change ne­ces­si­tate the lapse of con­scious­ness or a break in the con­ti­nu­ity of per­sonal mem­ory.

47:10.6The mor­tal per­son­al­ity ini­ti­ated on the evo­lu­tion­ary worlds and taber­na­cled in the flesh—in­dwelt by the Mys­tery Mon­i­tors and in­vested by the Spirit of Truth—is not fully mo­bi­lized, re­al­ized, and uni­fied un­til that day when such a Je­ru­sem cit­i­zen is given clear­ance for Eden­tia and pro­claimed a true mem­ber of the mor­ontia corps of Neb­a­don—an im­mor­tal sur­vivor of Ad­juster as­so­ci­a­tion, a Par­a­dise as­cender, a per­son­al­ity of mor­ontia sta­tus, and a true child of the Most Highs.

47:10.7Mor­tal death is a tech­nique of es­cape from the ma­te­rial life in the flesh; and the man­so­nia ex­pe­ri­ence of pro­gres­sive life through seven worlds of cor­rec­tive train­ing and cul­tural ed­u­ca­tion rep­re­sents the in­tro­duc­tion of mor­tal sur­vivors to the mor­ontia ca­reer, the tran­si­tion life which in­ter­venes be­tween the evo­lu­tion­ary ma­te­rial ex­is­tence and the higher spirit at­tain­ment of the as­cend­ers of time who are des­tined to achieve the por­tals of eter­nity.
