all space traversers require assistance to overcome gravity when departing a sphere 1 paragraph

29:4.1These be­ings are the mo­bile sub­or­di­nates of the Su­preme Power Cen­ters. The phys­i­cal con­trol­lers are en­dowed with ca­pa­bil­i­ties of in­di­vid­u­al­ity meta­mor­pho­sis of such a na­ture that they can en­gage in a re­mark­able va­ri­ety of au­to­trans­port, be­ing able to tra­verse lo­cal space at ve­loc­i­ties ap­proach­ing the flight of Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers. But like all other space tra­versers they re­quire the as­sis­tance of both their fel­lows and cer­tain other types of be­ings in over­com­ing the ac­tion of grav­ity and the re­sis­tance of in­er­tia in de­part­ing from a ma­te­rial sphere.

improved t. facilitated commerce 1 paragraph

70:3.4The peace of Uran­tia will be pro­moted far more by in­ter­na­tional trade or­ga­ni­za­tions than by all the sen­ti­men­tal soph­istry of vi­sion­ary peace plan­ning. Trade re­la­tions have been fa­cil­i­tated by de­vel­op­ment of lan­guage and by im­proved meth­ods of com­mu­ni­ca­tion as well as by bet­ter trans­porta­tion.

46:2.4The trans­porta­tion sys­tem is al­lied with the cir­cu­la­tory streams of en­ergy move­ment, these main en­ergy cur­rents be­ing lo­cated at ten-mile in­ter­vals. By ad­just­ment of phys­i­cal mech­a­nisms the ma­te­rial be­ings of the planet can pro­ceed at a pace vary­ing from two to five hun­dred miles per hour. The trans­port birds fly at about one hun­dred miles an hour. The air mech­a­nisms of the Ma­te­rial Sons travel around five hun­dred miles per hour. Ma­te­rial and early mor­ontia be­ings must uti­lize these me­chan­i­cal means of trans­port, but spirit per­son­al­i­ties pro­ceed by li­ai­son with the su­pe­rior forces and spirit sources of en­ergy.

translated mortals traverse space freely before being clothed with morontia forms 2 paragraphs

49:6.19These are the mor­tals who fuse with their Ad­justers dur­ing mor­tal life, and such Ad­juster-fused per­son­al­i­ties tra­verse space freely be­fore be­ing clothed with mor­ontia forms. These fused souls go by di­rect Ad­juster tran­sit to the res­ur­rec­tion halls of the higher mor­ontia spheres, where they re­ceive their ini­tial mor­ontia in­vesti­ture just as do all other mor­tals ar­riv­ing from the evo­lu­tion­ary worlds.

55:2.7Mor­tal ob­servers can see noth­ing of their trans­lated as­so­ciates sub­se­quent to the fu­sion flash. Such trans­lated souls pro­ceed by Ad­juster tran­sit di­rect to the res­ur­rec­tion hall of the ap­pro­pri­ate mor­ontia-train­ing world. These trans­ac­tions con­cerned with the trans­la­tion of liv­ing hu­man be­ings to the mor­ontia world are super­vised by an arch­an­gel who was as­signed to such a world on the day when it was first set­tled in light and life.
