The Sublime Adventure – XXI. The Seven Mansion Worlds (4 of 7)

The Second Mansion World
When your sojourn on the first world terminates, you will
enter the translation sleep and proceed to world number two. A
newly developed and suitably adjusted morontia body is acquired
as you advance from one mansion world to another. “You go to
sleep with the seraphic transport and awake with the new but
undeveloped body in the resurrection halls, much as you first
arrived on mansion world number one except that the Thought
Adjuster does not leave you during these transit sleeps between
the mansion worlds.”
“It is on this sphere that you are more fully inducted into
the mansonia life.” The groupings of the morontia life begin to
take form: working groups, social organizations and communities
start to come together. Advancing mortals inaugurate new social
orders and governmental arrangements.
The memories preserved by your Adjuster remain intact, at
least the ones that are of value to you. Memories that are
purely animalistic and wholly material perished with the physical
brain. These human memories together with all your subsequent
worthwhile experiences will stay with you as you proceed through
the universe – even to Paradise.
Though you have a morontia body, you continue, through the
seven worlds, to breathe, eat, drink, and rest. The morontia
food is a kingdom of living energy unknown on the material
worlds. Food and water are fully utilized; there is no residual
waste.
If we try to chart your progress so far, we will more or
less get the following picture: The first world is a very
material sphere and you are still a near human with the limited
viewpoints of mortal life. From sphere to sphere you grow less
material, more intellectual, and slightly more spiritual.
Biological deficiencies (related to sex life, family association,
and parental function) were largely made up on the first world.
Some defects are projected for future rectification when you will
live among the Material Sons and Daughters on Jerusem.
“Mansonia number two more specifically provides for the
removal of all phases of intellectual conflict and all varieties
of mental disharmony.” [P534 & 535].
