The Seven Mansion Worlds

47:7.1Trans­port to the fifth man­sion world rep­re­sents a tremen­dous for­ward step in the life of a mor­ontia pro­gres­sor. The ex­pe­ri­ence on this world is a real fore­taste of Je­ru­sem life. Here you be­gin to re­al­ize the high des­tiny of the loyal evo­lu­tion­ary worlds since they may nor­mally pro­gress to this stage dur­ing their nat­u­ral plan­e­tary de­vel­op­ment. The cul­ture of this man­sion world cor­re­sponds in gen­eral to that of the early era of light and life on the plan­ets of nor­mal evo­lu­tion­ary prog­ress. And from this you can un­der­stand why it is so ar­ranged that the highly cul­tured and pro­gres­sive types of be­ings who some­times in­habit these ad­vanced evo­lu­tion­ary worlds are ex­empt from pass­ing through one or more, or even all, of the man­sion spheres.

47:7.2Hav­ing mas­tered the lo­cal uni­verse lan­guage be­fore leav­ing the fourth man­sion world, you now de­vote more time to the per­fec­tion of the tongue of Uversa to the end that you may be pro­fi­cient in both lan­guages be­fore ar­riv­ing on Je­ru­sem with res­i­den­tial sta­tus. All as­cend­ing mor­tals are bilin­gual from the sys­tem head­quar­ters up to Ha­vona. And then it is only nec­es­sary to en­large the super­uni­verse vo­cab­u­lary, still ad­di­tional en­large­ment be­ing re­quired for res­i­dence on Par­a­dise.

47:7.3Upon ar­rival on man­so­nia num­ber five the pil­grim is given per­mis­sion to visit the tran­si­tion world of cor­re­spond­ing num­ber, the Sons’ head­quar­ters. Here the as­cen­dant mor­tal be­comes per­son­ally fa­mil­iar with the var­i­ous groups of di­vine son­ship. He has heard of these su­perb be­ings and has al­ready met them on Je­ru­sem, but now he comes re­ally to know them.

47:7.4On the fifth man­so­nia you be­gin to learn of the con­stel­la­tion study worlds. Here you meet the first of the in­struc­tors who be­gin to pre­pare you for the sub­se­quent con­stel­la­tion so­journ. More of this prepa­ra­tion con­tin­ues on worlds six and seven, while the fin­ish­ing touches are sup­plied in the sec­tor of the as­cend­ing mor­tals on Je­ru­sem.

47:7.5A real birth of cos­mic con­scious­ness takes place on man­so­nia num­ber five. You are be­com­ing uni­verse minded. This is in­deed a time of ex­pand­ing hori­zons. It is be­gin­ning to dawn upon the en­larg­ing minds of the as­cend­ing mor­tals that some stu­pen­dous and mag­nif­i­cent, some su­per­nal and di­vine, des­tiny awaits all who com­plete the pro­gres­sive Par­a­dise as­cen­sion, which has been so la­bo­ri­ously but so joy­fully and aus­pi­ciously be­gun. At about this point the av­er­age mor­tal as­cender be­gins to man­i­fest bona fide ex­pe­ri­en­tial en­thu­si­asm for the Ha­vona as­cent. Study is be­com­ing vol­un­tary, un­selfish ser­vice nat­u­ral, and wor­ship spon­ta­neous. A real mor­ontia char­ac­ter is bud­ding; a real mor­ontia crea­ture is evolv­ing.
