The Seven Mansion Worlds

Brilliant Evening Star

5. The Third Mansion World

47:5.1Man­so­nia the third is the head­quar­ters of the Man­sion World Teach­ers. Though they func­tion on all seven of the man­sion spheres, they main­tain their group head­quar­ters at the cen­ter of the school cir­cles of world num­ber three. There are mil­lions of these in­struc­tors on the man­sion and higher mor­ontia worlds. These ad­vanced and glo­ri­fied cheru­bim serve as mor­ontia teach­ers all the way up from the man­sion worlds to the last sphere of lo­cal uni­verse as­cen­dant train­ing. They will be among the last to bid you an af­fec­tion­ate adieu when the farewell time draws near, the time when you bid good-bye—at least for a few ages—to the uni­verse of your ori­gin, when you en­seraphim for tran­sit to the re­ceiv­ing worlds of the mi­nor sec­tor of the super­uni­verse.

47:5.2When so­journ­ing on the first man­sion world, you have per­mis­sion to visit the first of the tran­si­tion worlds, the head­quar­ters of the fi­nal­i­ters and the sys­tem pro­ba­tion­ary nurs­ery for the nur­ture of un­de­vel­oped evo­lu­tion­ary chil­dren. When you ar­rive on man­so­nia num­ber two, you re­ceive per­mis­sion pe­ri­od­i­cally to visit tran­si­tion world num­ber two, where are lo­cated the mor­ontia super­vi­sor head­quar­ters for all Sa­ta­nia and the train­ing schools for the var­i­ous mor­ontia or­ders. When you reach man­sion world num­ber three, you are im­me­di­ately granted a per­mit to visit the third tran­si­tion sphere, the head­quar­ters of the an­gelic or­ders and the home of their var­i­ous sys­tem train­ing schools. Vis­its to Je­ru­sem from this world are in­creas­ingly prof­itable and are of ever-height­en­ing in­ter­est to the ad­vanc­ing mor­tals.

47:5.3Man­so­nia the third is a world of great per­sonal and so­cial achieve­ment for all who have not made the equiv­a­lent of these cir­cles of cul­ture prior to re­lease from the flesh on the mor­tal na­tiv­ity worlds. On this sphere more pos­i­tive ed­u­ca­tional work is be­gun. The train­ing of the first two man­sion worlds is mostly of a de­fi­ciency na­ture—neg­a­tive—in that it has to do with sup­ple­ment­ing the ex­pe­ri­ence of the life in the flesh. 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. This is the real in­tro­duc­tion to the in­tel­li­gent com­pre­hen­sion of cos­mic mean­ings and uni­verse in­ter­re­la­tion­ships. The cul­ture of the third man­sion world par­takes of the na­ture of the postbestowal Son age of a nor­mal in­hab­ited planet.
