LESSON 6: Mansonia #1 — The Resurrection Hall

Our extensive collection of Master Universe Diagrams includes a lovely diagram showing the floor plan of the enormous temple of personality assembly, or the Ressurection Hall, with its central Temple of New Life and seven radial wings, the resurrection halls of the mortal races. Resurrection Halls.pdf

Once our mortal/biological death arrives, most of us will find our way to Heaven through this great Resurrection Hall of the first Mansion world (a.k.a. Mansonia #1). Given the fact that we can only asquire first hand knowledge of this place by passing through the portal of physical death, we who have not yet passed through death must rely entirely on revealed knowledge coming from those who are or have been there. In light of this particular limitation, we offer you an enticing discourse between Rayson (one who claims to have been resurrected there) and one of his earthly students from 1991.

Rayson is a resurrected mortal from a planet not very far from Earth. He was resurrected over 10,000 years ago on Mansonia #1 according to how we measure time on this planet. He has been extensively trained to be a spiritual teacher, knows many of our languages, and understands our diverse cultures and religious beliefs. He began teaching on this planet on July 15, 1991. Many of his lessons are full of wisdom and have been included in our Global Library of Wisdom.

Student: Rayson, you were speaking of the other species in the universe. I was just curious about Michael's creation and our adventure, forthcoming.

Rayson: Yes. You will basically retain the physical outline of your bodies in the Morontial form. You will be genderless. You will not eat food, as such; there will be no excrement, no bodily functions of those things. But the form that you will have will be much like it is now. You will retain that energetic outline through many Morontial levels. And so, on other planets where other mortals come from, they too will bring along their material body forms and energetic manifestation in Morontial form. They will be laterally equal, meaning if there is an arm on the left, there will be an arm on the right; if there's a leg on the left, there will be one on the right. However, they may have tails, they may have four ears, rather than two, or they may have no ears that are visible. Their eyes may occupy more than half of their width and height of their craniums. They may have snouts, and they may have almost no jaws at all. Would you be shocked to see a human with a cockscomb? Like a chicken? You will see those there too. Also, they come in many colors, too, in the Morontial form. You will find pink ones, white ones, dark ones, yellow ones, green ones, multicolored ones, rainbow hues, and some that change. But each of you carries an aura, your own merkaba, and so, before you greet someone you'll read their aura, and you will have a greater understanding of their history, who they are and what they are, and difficulties and accomplishments, and their growth when you meet them. And you will become more adept at reading these as you go along.

Student: Is there a corresponding heart and mind type circuits, or about those connections to their aura?

Rayson: Corresponding, yes.

Student: What are the types of communications utilized?

Rayson: It is mindal, it can be vocal, and it can take many forms. You are highly limited in your communication upon this planet. The divisions that occur on your planet are more than national. National boundaries are more akin to languages than they are to geography or different body types. When you begin to think of this, you will see that there will eventually only be two or three or four nationalities in the future on your planet. And of course, eventually, there will be only one.

Student: What roll will the extrasensory capability play in that? I understand that we may have additional senses?

Rayson: My best answer is, yes. Ambiguous, but accurate.

On the Mansion Worlds and on every inhabited planet beyond Mansonia you will be gifted with additional senses. Almost all these new senses will be what you might presently see as psychic senses — an ability to feel what others feel — a capacity to discern another’s wishes or a knack for simply knowing the truth.

It is in the Morontia realm where you will discover a great number of additional senses. You will still have your human senses, although in time the sense of taste may become redundant. You will have a far greater mind and you will be able to take in more and more information, faster and faster, and with that you will grow. 

One of the many new senses you will have in the afterlife in Morontia form, is a sense for which there is no descriptive word in the English language, and so we shall call it, for lack of a better term, the sense of “differential of intent”.

In the Morontia and Spirit realms, beings with this sense have the ability to quickly gauge the amount of difference between a person’s real internal ability to act and their outward manifested desire (intent) to act. The cause of such discrepancies has to do with the degree of personality unity/integration of the individual. The greater the personality unification of the individual the lesser the differential of intent tends to be. This differential of intent actually manifests itself as a form of energy, which this higher sense can detect, and it is measured similarly to the way changes in pressure are measured.

It is true that we can sometimes learn of such differences about someone through experience and observation, but such experiences do not equate to being an actual sense.

To offer an analogy we can all relate to, let's consider canis familiaris, also known as a dog. We know from observation that dogs have a sense for detecting fear. This “fear detector” sense works similarly to the differential of intent, but in a baser animal way.

Dogs can tell if a person is scared or not by detecting and measuring the difference between your outward behavior and your inner tendencies. If you externalize the impression that you are big and strong and you will beat up the dog, but inside you are scared of the dog, then the dog can detect this difference, or “differential of intent”, and he knows that internally you don’t have what it takes to follow through with your external threatening behavior.

So it is in the Spirit and Morontia realms, but since there is nothing to fear in those realms, this sense is used to determine the amount of difference between another person’s inner desire to DO GOOD and their outward expression of this desire.

To use a human example, let’s say you decide to go for a 1 hour walk, but you only walk for 20 minutes and return home. You intended to walk for 60 minutes but you only had it in you to walk for 20 minutes. So the differential of intent could be measured as the 40 minutes that you failed to walk. In this case your spouse would learn/know this about you through the experience of observation, but in the afterlife this can be immediately sensed even before you go for the walk.

The differential of intent sense only deals with personal internal (psychological) factors.

Student: Do the Morontia beings and Celestial beings wear clothes or uniforms, or anything so you know what level they're at?

Rayson: Yes, there is clothing, and there are cloaks, and there are energetic devices for identifying individuals. One thing I want to say in this, is if you are bigoted now, if you are prejudiced now, if you are judgmental now, you will carry that forward in the early stages of your morontial life. This should be shocking to you. And it should be as shocking to you for it to occur on this planet, while you live here. For bigotry, judgment, prejudice, and bias based on any qualifications of an individual are arbitrary. God does not have any bigotry, prejudice, bias or judgment against you, or for you. So that is why it is very important for you to love in this lifetime, to be accepting. That is why travel is very important for you to engage in, going to foreign countries, where you are the minority. Go to other parts of your nation where you are a minority and you will begin to feel how it feels to be a minority. And when you are the victim of bigotry, hopefully it will rankle your sense of self worth, and the worth and value you place upon others. You see, death is not an escape from the difficulties of this planet. The difficulties of this planet go forward with you as lessons, to be learned, to be worked through. Those harmful, deleterious memories and experiences that you had on this planet will be left behind, not carried forward, but those energetic constructs of belief will still be retained and its lessons to be worked through.

Student: Rayson, I would think that any feelings of bigotry would be self-limiting and self-governing in such an environment as you describe with the conscious ability to understand and read another's aura or energetic structure. These things would be as obvious as the nose on our face. Wouldn't it be within our best interests to divest ourselves of such archaic practices prior to getting there? It just seems so bizarre that they could exist there in the environment of the morontia planets.

Rayson: Yes, I agree to all of that, but imagine an anomalous situation that you have on this planet, where people love God and Jesus, but hate other people. It doesn't make any sense, does it? When these individuals arrive on the mansion world, and go from their orientation classes out into the larger society, they are going to be mightily shocked, that they will be the minority. Because a majority of you demonstrate acceptance, tolerance, value, appreciation, in the other person. Oh yes! You should hope to lose all of those things before you leave this planet.

Student: Rayson, something that I've struggled with in terms of judgment and just awareness of where other people are 'at' or are 'coming from,' it's like when Jesus didn't bother to teach those who weren't ready to comprehend his teachings, whether that is an awareness or a judgment is a very gray area for me. Can you elaborate?

Rayson: Yes, certainly. You recall in the Urantia Book where Ganid was traveling with the Master and the Master came upon this man on a trail and Jesus answered the man's question and they moved on. Ganid asked him "Master, why did you not enlighten him on the wisdom of the Universe?" or words to that effect. And Jesus replied that the man was neither open nor willing to receive what would be provided to him. And so, as you mature in your insights into others, always be accepting of them and ready and willing to provide information without judging them beforehand. You will come to understand this more and more as you develop in your own Morontial qualities and capacities during this mortal lifetime. You will become more and more capable of reading the aura of an individual as you greet them and shake their hand and say hello. You will be of one mind with the Christ Mind to know more accurately what the individual is capable of receiving. And being mortal and being humble, you will always wonder whether you were accurate or not, and so you will test the waters a bit. And if the waters prove that they are being unaccepted, then you will not provide further. Otherwise, you may provoke that individual. Judgment? Does this judge the person, as being less in value than in one that would receive the word? Surely not. And you would not say, "Oh this person is going to hell for sure." Or perdition or whatever colloquialism you want to use for nothingness, that results in eternal self-condemnation. You would not condemn that person though, would you? (No.) And so you hold no judgment against them. You accept them where they are, as they are. And hold them of no less value than the person who comes to you and says, "Please enlighten me in the way of the Master." "I am hungry for the truth and the love and the light."

A summary of the first mansion world experience

1. You wake up in the resurrection hall.
2. You begin the morontia life just where the mortal life was terminated by death.
3. Consciousness of identity is restored by the meeting of the memory and personality factors in the keeping of the Adjuster with the identity soul factors in the custody of the seraphim.
4. From the resurrection hall you go to the Melchizedek center where you get your assignment to a permanent residence.
5. Next you are introduced to your educational program designed to make up your Earthly deficiencies —especially biologic deficiencies.
6. Parental deficiencies are ascertained and, when present, are made up by ministering to children on the nursery world and by subsequent service in the homes of the Adam and Eve Material Sons on Jerusem.
7. After getting located, you have ten days in which to visit, explore, and look up fellow Urantians.
8. The Morontia Companions assist you in planning study and work, and accompany you on excursions, including Jerusem.
9. In the main, mansion world number one is where major deficiencies are resolved, but much time is also devoted to mind and soul progress. 
   

Resurrected mortals have the same type of body that Jesus had when he arose from the tomb.
