The universe is teeming with life and is above all a friendly place.
Mansion worlds = Heaven
They are specially constructed planets designed to support advanced life forms, specifically Souls and Spirits. They also have physical vegetation, animals, water, dirt, rocks etc.
Morontia = Soul (a type of matter based on the same periodic table of elements but with a different rate of atomic spin, resulting in much lighter and stronger elements).
Humans only have embryonic souls. After physical death these embryonic souls are disconnected by our Guardian Angels and transported to Heaven where a new Soul form body is made to contain your embryonic soul. When ready your new Soul Body is reconnected with your Spirit and you are gently woken up from the death sleep by your Heavenly attendants. This process typically takes three days and is commonly referred to as the resurrection. Everyone has a soul unless you deliberately reject it or kill it through a lifetime of utter neglect. Maintaining a healthy Soul is your ticket to eternal life.
20 Facts About Life After Death
1) Human beings are the lowest level of freewill creatures in the universe.
2) We are all born as children of the Paradise Father. Yet, to be resurrected, we must exercise faith and trust in our Heavenly Father.
3) After resurrection, we start our new life where we left off on earth.
4) When we awaken from the sleep of survival, we will recognize our family, friends, and acquaintances, and they will recognize us.
5) After checking in on the mansion worlds, our first ten days are spent on vacation. During this time, we can visit family and friends who have gone before us, explore our new home, and look over plans for the immediate future.
6) After we die, we are not permitted to communicate with anyone still living on earth. The spirits of the dead don't come back. There are no ghosts (except metaphorically).
7) Men and women always retain their gender characteristics. Even after we have journeyed to Paradise and are full spirit beings, opposite genders will continue to fascinate and comfort one another.
8) On most of the heavenly worlds there are enormous circular crystal receiving stations. One of these stations was described by John in the Bible as "the sea of glass." Some measure nearly one hundred miles in circumference and thirty miles in depth. These crystals function as receiving and broadcasting stations and as landing fields. We will spend many hours around these seas of glass, listening to news, attending cultural performances, and worshiping the Paradise Father.
9) The experience of loving and serving others increases as we progress toward Paradise. The universe is dominated by love. "The more one loves, the nearer he approaches God, for God is the spirit of infinite love." ~ R. W. Trive
