The Seven Mansion Worlds

47:9.1The ex­pe­ri­ence on this sphere is the crown­ing achieve­ment of the im­me­di­ate post­mor­tal ca­reer. Dur­ing your so­journ here you will re­ceive the in­struc­tion of many teach­ers, all of whom will co-op­er­ate in the task of prepar­ing you for res­i­dence on Je­ru­sem. Any dis­cern­i­ble dif­fer­ences be­tween those mor­tals hail­ing from the iso­lated and re­tarded worlds and those sur­vivors from the more ad­vanced and en­light­ened spheres are vir­tu­ally oblit­er­ated dur­ing the so­journ on the sev­enth man­sion world. Here you will be purged of all the rem­nants of un­for­tu­nate hered­ity, un­whole­some en­vi­ron­ment, and un­spir­i­tual plan­e­tary ten­den­cies. The last rem­nants of the “mark of the beast” are here erad­i­cated.

47:9.2While so­journ­ing on man­so­nia num­ber seven, per­mis­sion is granted to visit tran­si­tion world num­ber seven, the world of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther. Here you be­gin a new and more spir­i­tual wor­ship of the un­seen Fa­ther, a habit you will in­creas­ingly pur­sue all the way up through your long as­cend­ing ca­reer. You find the Fa­ther’s tem­ple on this world of tran­si­tional cul­ture, but you do not see the Fa­ther.

47:9.3Now be­gins the for­ma­tion of classes for grad­u­a­tion to Je­ru­sem. You have gone from world to world as in­di­vid­u­als, but now you pre­pare to de­part for Je­ru­sem in groups, al­though, within cer­tain lim­its, an as­cender may elect to tarry on the sev­enth man­sion world for the pur­pose of en­abling a tardy mem­ber of his earthly or man­so­nia work­ing group to catch up with him.

47:9.4The per­son­nel of the sev­enth man­so­nia as­sem­ble on the sea of glass to wit­ness your de­par­ture for Je­ru­sem with res­i­den­tial sta­tus. Hun­dreds or thou­sands of times you may have vis­ited Je­ru­sem, but al­ways as a guest; never be­fore have you pro­ceeded to­ward the sys­tem cap­i­tal in the com­pany of a group of your fel­lows who were bid­ding an eter­nal farewell to the whole man­so­nia ca­reer as as­cend­ing mor­tals. You will soon be wel­comed on the re­ceiv­ing field of the head­quar­ters world as Je­ru­sem cit­i­zens.

47:9.5You will greatly en­joy your prog­ress through the seven de­ma­te­ri­al­iz­ing worlds; they are re­ally de­mor­tal­iz­ing spheres. You are mostly hu­man on the first man­sion world, just a mor­tal be­ing mi­nus a ma­te­rial body, a hu­man mind housed in a mor­ontia form—a ma­te­rial body of the mor­ontia world but not a mor­tal house of flesh and blood. You re­ally pass from the mor­tal state to the im­mor­tal sta­tus at the time of Ad­juster fu­sion, and by the time you have fin­ished the Je­ru­sem ca­reer, you will be full-fledged mor­ontians.
