The Terrestrial Escape!
Audio File
Fundamentally there is only one way in which individual human life can be initiated on the inhabited worlds — through creature procreation and natural birth. But there are three techniques (during our present planetary age) by which we can escape our present terrestrial status and gain access to the inward moving stream of Paradise ascenders.
First there is the technique of the Sleeping Survivor: Surviving souls are those souls who must (due to their spiritual status) rest in unconscious sleep until the Judgment Day of a new millennial (1,000 years as per Paradise time) — or dispensational period (the coming of a Son of God to call the rolls of the age and adjudicate the realm {detailed in the Urantia Book}; and this is the general practice throughout all Nebadon.
As when we humans sleep, the passing of time is of no moment to sleeping mortals; for they are fully unconscious and oblivious to the length of their rest. At the end of an age, and upon the reassembly of personality, those who have slept five thousand days will react no differently than those who have rested five days.
Despite the time delay, these survivors pass on through the ascension regime identically with those who avoid the longer or shorter sleep of death. And as such, these dispensational classes are utilized for group morontia activities in the work of the universe; for the great advantage in this mobilization is that they are kept together for long periods of effective service.
(As it was said by Jesus (Christ Michael) when he died (Friday, just before 3:00 p.m., April 7, 30 A.D.) and ascended thus on high at the conclusion of his work here on earth: “We led a great multitude of captives.” It was these captives who were the sleeping survivors from the days of Adam and Eve to the (Sunday, just after 3:00 a.m., April 9, 30 AD) day of his resurrection on earth.)
Secondly there is the technique of ‘individual’ ascension. This type of ascension is determined (as the measure of the human being) by the successive attainment and traversal (mastery) of the seven cosmic circles of personality. Of these levels of associated intellectual, social, spiritual, and cosmic-insight values (as per the personal realities of each individual), all who have attained the third level (counting from 7-1), immediately are they assigned their own personal guardian angels. And they therefore may be repersonalized in the morontia life — independent of dispensational or other adjudications.
There are actually three different groups of individual ascenders. The less advanced of them land on the initial or first mansion world. The more advanced (in accordance with their previous planetary progression) may take up their morontia career on any of the intermediate mansion worlds (see Part XI). And the most advanced really begin their career on the seventh.
Destiny guardian seraphim (angels) are indispensable for personality reassembly and terrestrial escape.
All mortals of survival status personalize on the local system ‘mansion worlds.’ But only those in the custody of personal guardian angels pass directly through the portals of natural death and personalize on the third period (i.e. the 3rd day — as per the standard time and day of the mansion world of their resurrection). Whereas those mortals not having personal seraphic guardians, having not attained (for any reason) the third or higher level of their intelligence mastery and spiritual endowment — can not thus go immediately and directly to the mansion worlds.
Throughout the earlier ages of an evolutionary world, few mortals go to the mansion worlds on the third day. But as the ages pass, more and more of the advancing mortals are assigned personal guardians of destiny. Thus after natural death, increasingly do these evolving creatures repersonalize on the third period -the return of the indwelling Spirit Being signalizing the awakening of their soul. And this is the repersonalization of the dead just as literally as when the en-masse roll is called at the end of a dispensation period.
Finally there is the third means of terrestrial escape: the ascension of mortals of the probationary dependent orders. Our (5 yr. I0 mo. 4 day) arrival of an indwelling Spirit Being (in the eyes of the universe) constitutes Identity; and all indwelt beings are on the rolls of justice. But temporal life is uncertain, so many youth die (or are unborn) before receiving their indwelling Spirit Being or choosing the Paradise career. Thus these young or unborn mortals remain attached to the parent of most advanced spiritual status until that parent’s awakening at the regular millennial or dispensational roll calls, on the third day, or at a special resurrection.
Probationary-dependent orders awaken on the probationary nursery of the finaliter world (Transitional World #I — encircling Jerusem) at the exact moment as their parent’s awakening on the first mansion world. There (as here) they receive the arrival of their indwelling Spirit Being and are given every true opportunity to chose the Paradise career. However if they do chose, having not experienced their native life, they are not (as we are) eligible for induction into the Paradise Corps of Mortal Finaliters.
