Death and the Seven Psychic Circles
Please, note briefly:
There are Seven
Psychic Circles. Each individual human being starts out at the Seventh Circle
and makes progress “inwards and upwards” to the First Circle. It’s all about a beautiful combination of ever
increasing intellectual development and continuous spiritual growth. To
learn more about the seven psychic or cosmic circles of personality
status, mind attainment, soul growth, and Adjuster attunement (intimacy with
God) please see the
Urantia Book, Paper 110, Section 6 (UB 110:6), "The Seven Psychic
Circles": http://www.urantiabook.org/newbook/papers/p110.htm#P110_6_0

Death and Resurrection within Three Days
Basically, it takes
about "three days" for a believer who has died to arrive at the
Mansion Worlds (aka “Heaven”). This is because the Guardian Angel (Seraphim)
and the Thought Adjuster (the indwelt spirit Monitor, the divine fractal, the
spirit of God the Father within) have to spend time to go through some
protocols, standard operating procedures and transactions before they show up
on the Mansion Worlds. The Seraphim, in a sense, has the soul in safekeeping and
the divine Monitor holds the spirit transcript, the spiritualized mind or the
"spirit-mind" of the human. They hold in safekeeping
("trust"). Please, let us take
a good look at the Urantia Book (UB) for it presents outstanding revelations
concerning this matter.
UB 113:6.5,
"The guardian seraphim is the custodial trustee of the survival values of
mortal man’s slumbering soul as the absent Adjuster is the identity of such an
immortal universe being. When these two collaborate in the resurrection halls
of mansonia in conjunction with the newly fabricated morontia form, there
occurs the reassembly of the constituent factors of the personality of the
mortal ascender."
Now what are the
transactions or standard operating procedures that the Guardian Seraphim and
Mystery Monitor (Adjuster) go through?
The Angel:
UB 113:6.2,
"The instant the pilot light in the human mind disappears, the spirit
luminosity which seraphim associate with the presence of the Adjuster, the
attending angel reports in person to the commanding angels, successively, of
the group, company, battalion, unit, legion, and host; and after being duly
registered for the final adventure of time and space, such an angel receives
certification by the planetary chief of seraphim for reporting to the Evening
Star (or other lieutenant of Gabriel) in command of the seraphic army of this
candidate for universe ascension. And upon being granted permission from the
commander of this highest organizational unit, such a guardian of destiny
proceeds to the first mansion world and there awaits the consciousizing of her
former ward in the flesh."
The Adjuster:
UB 112:4.1,
"When death of a material, intellectual, or spiritual nature occurs, the
Adjuster bids farewell to the mortal host and departs for Divinington. From the
headquarters of the local universe and the superuniverse a reflective contact
is made with the supervisors of both governments, and the Monitor is registered
out by the same number that recorded entry into the domains of time."
UB 112:4.13,
"If the human individual survives without delay, the Adjuster, so I am
instructed, registers at Divinington, proceeds to the Paradise presence of the
Universal Father, returns immediately and is embraced by the Personalized
Adjusters of the superuniverse and local universe of assignment, receives the
recognition of the chief Personalized Monitor of Divinington, and then, at
once, passes into the “realization of identity transition,” being summoned
therefrom on the third period and on the mansion world in the actual
personality form made ready for the reception of the surviving soul of the
earth mortal as that form has been projected by the guardian of destiny."
Please, take note
of the term, "third period" - third day. Clearly, we see that the
attending Seraphim and Thought Adjuster of the human being go through some laid
down procedures at the death of the mortal. Going through those protocols takes
time. This is why you would not literally appear on the first Mansion World the
very instant you die.
Death and a Future Resurrection
Now please, let us
take a look at Paper 112:4.12, "If, when death overtakes you, you have
attained the third circle or a higher realm and therefore have had assigned to
you a personal guardian of destiny, and if the final transcript of the summary
of survival character submitted by the Adjuster is unconditionally certified by
the destiny guardian — if both seraphim and Adjuster essentially agree in every
item of their life records and recommendations — if the Universal Censors and
their reflective associates on Uversa confirm this data and do so without
equivocation or reservation, in that event the Ancients of Days flash forth the
mandate of advanced standing over the communication circuits to Salvington,
and, thus released, the tribunals of the Sovereign of Nebadon will decree the
immediate passage of the surviving soul to the resurrection halls of the
mansion worlds."
Please, observe
closely that Paper 112:4.12 gives some conditions ("if statements")
that you must meet to qualify to get to our nearest "Heaven" (the
Mansion Worlds) on the third period (within three days). One of these
conditions is that you must have attained the third circle or a higher realm.
This means by way of overall intellectual development and spiritual growth, you
must have attained the Third Psychic (Cosmic) Circle or a higher realm (i.e. the
Second or First Psychic Circle) before you die.
Each and every
single one of those conditions must be met. Otherwise, you will sleep the sleep
of death to await a Dispensational Resurrection or some later Resurrection at
the discretion of "God" (to put it quite simply): “If
the mortal associate belongs to a group that will be repersonalized at the end
of a dispensation, the Adjuster will not immediately return to the mansion
world of the former system of service but will, according to choice, enter upon
one of the following temporary assignments…” – UB 112:4.4. This group of people
that would resurrect at the end of a dispensation comprises individuals in the
Seventh and Fourth Psychic Circles (inclusive).
So right here, we see two groups of people: people who would resurrect
within three days after they die and people who would sleep the sleep of death
and resurrect at a future time.
And please, note that to be “repersonalized at
the end of a dispensation” means to be resurrected at the end of a
dispensation. An example of a dispensational resurrection occurred after Jesus
resurrected: Matthew 27:52-53, “And the graves were
opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose. And came out of the
graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto
many.”
Dispensational Resurrections take place at the end of a
dispensation and there are reasons to believe that other periodic resurrections
occur from time to time even though the majority of humans living on the Earth
may not be aware of this.
Death (in actuality,
“Translation”) by way of Adjuster Fusion on Earth
Fusion with one’s
Thought Adjuster on Earth applies to individuals who are in the first Cosmic or
Psychic Circle AND have attained translation levels of spiritual progress. You
have to attain a certain higher level of spiritual maturity and remarkably
outstanding intimacy with God for this to occur in your life – right here on
Earth (Urantia). In passing, we may say that
Thought Adjuster fusion is the attainment of “complete and eternal oneness”
with the God-within, the spirit of God in man, the candle light of God in you,
the Still Small Voice within.
UB 55:1.6, "On presettled worlds, planets without morontia temples, these
fusion flashes many times occur in the planetary atmosphere, where the material
body of a translation candidate is elevated by the midway creatures and the
physical controllers."
UB 55:1.5,
"...the translation... ...the blazing glory of the consuming fire which so
completely obliterates the physical bodies of those mortals who therein
experience final fusion with their divine Adjusters."
In Conclusion…
Therefore, we may say that for a first circler
who fuses with his/her Thought Adjuster while in the flesh, on Earth, “going to
Heaven” occurs in an "instant" - zero days; within minutes! This is
what happened to Enoch and Elijah - "fusion", total and eternal
oneness with the God-within. But it's three days for a first circler who dies
before fusion takes place.
For a second and
third circler, it's three days. (That's for those who attained the second or
third psychic circle.)
For those between
the fourth and seventh psychic or cosmic circles (between fourth and seventh,
inclusive), it takes longer than three days. They may have to sleep the sleep
of death and await a Dispensational Resurrection or a general Resurrection that
occurs periodically at the discretion of our Creator-Father, Christ Michael
and/or a Descending Paradise Son.
The "wait
time" boils down to the level of cosmic circle attainment. It's easy to
see this because the Universal Law states clearly, "You reap what you sow." You
have obtained the gift of "salvation" (survival). That's great!
However, that, in and of itself is not enough to get you to transition from
this Earth realm to the Heavenly realms immediately after your death. And
clearly, death in and of itself has no such powers to immediately catapult you
or instantly take you there.
To get to heaven
instantly (by way of "fusion") or to get there within a few days
(three days), you must sow the requisite seeds of higher levels of love,
righteousness, intelligence, wisdom, knowledge and understanding and deep
intimacy with God the Paradise Father, the First Source and Center. You
cannot allow yourself to be stuck on the sixth cosmic circle and expect to
resurrect within the same time frame as a third, a second or a pre-fusion first
circler. Nah! Mba! It does not happen. You have to “ascend” to the
mansion worlds in your own individual right or await a dispensational summoning
of the sleeping survivors of a planetary age (See UB 112:4.3). And we can see clearly that
this depends on the level of cosmic or psychic circle that you have attained.
“You reap what you sow.” This is not surprising for Jesus always gave parables
along the lines of sowing and reaping.
