SEVEN PLANETARY PSYCHIC CIRCLES OF MORTAL ASCENSION
In order to understand the morontia Mansion worlds of higher level of spirituality, as compared to evolutionary physical world, it is necessary to understand what the purpose of a human life is, to know Creator God the Father better and to align your will with His will.
The purpose of physical evolutionary life, such as human, is about gaining and advancing spiritual life experiences and not about hoarding the material possessions in mammon worship as many are currently fascinated about and pre-occupied with.
Aligning human will with Will of God’s is the main and only thing humans need to realize while in this world to gain the highest marks of mortal experience. This is not some church dogma or Hubble telescope based theories about what universe is and what universe life is all about.
The earlier ages of the animal-origin races and primitive mortals are characterized by primitive minds so immature that fusion with their Adjusters is impossible. Re-awakening of such primitive anu-mal mortals is accomplished by the guardian seraphim in conjunction with an individualized portion of the immortal (Nebadonia’s) spirit of the Paradise Supreme Third Source and Center which re-personalizes such sleeping survivors of a planetary age in the planetary dispensational roll calls of passed physical souls.
This is the lowest possible option of mortal soul survival, which is the morontia mansonia event, where at least the 3rd S&C immortal (Nebadonia’s) individualized Adjutant Mind Spirit (AMS) has to be present.
Because morontia and physical are two separate space dimensions, morontia events are not to be confused with Urantia’s physical PUMA-AMS elemental “anchoring” representing the Urantia physical elemental consciousness.
The Urantia’s central ANU-mal/PUMA/-Nebadonia’s Adjutant Mind Spirits (AMSs) re-in-carne realizations (reincarnation), as discussed in previous Papers, are physical realms planetary events where the AMSs as Nebadonia’s morontia spirit mind initiates and rise the physical central ANU/PUMA vibrations via its Electro-Magnetic INDuction (A MIND) making it a newly “born” and “teachable ascending mind” I am-self planetary soul seeking indwelling association with a new (another) Paradise Father’s Thought Adjuster (TA).
It is important to remember here that TAs arrive with different experiential experiences and that their association with physical PUMAs/ANUs has been already pre-selected based and depending upon the new-born soul realistic potential in this life which is discussion for another time. (1)
With respect to the non-salvageable personalities of translated dispensational call souls into morontia realm, when no individualized immortal spirit of the soul is present to function with the group guardians of destiny, then this constitutes cessation of creature existence.
While some of Urantia records have pictured these events as taking place on Urantia planet of mortal death, they all really occur on the mansion worlds where sleeping survivors of planetary age are re-personalized. Without presence of the individualized immortal Nebadonia’s AMS spirit the morontia translated souls will cease to exist.
Reaching the mansion world does not imply a reward for the efforts of your material life. Everyone is free to enjoy all the wonders that are available to surviving translated mortal souls beyond your world, regardless of the level of spirituality that you have reached on this earth. You will not be treated any different by your more advanced siblings in the mansion worlds nor will you experience any kind of discrimination based on your spiritual achievements of the past.
On the mansion worlds there is a more advanced philosophy of life that is based on mutual love and understanding and where every creature sincerely makes an effort to be the best he or she can be. Those who learn to live in such a way on this earth — loving their peers, implicitly trusting in the goodwill of their neighbors in the flesh and offering unconditional love — will be better prepared to live in the morontial communities than those who seek only their own benefit and their own exaltation above others. These latter ones would have to go through a period of adjustment in order to adapt to the life in their new environment after they abandon their mortal garments.
If there is not for human blindness of seven mind senses it would be clear to all humans that humanity belongs to a cosmic family which is actively engaged in the Universal Father’s Great Plan to move all things toward perfection — to be perfect as He is perfect.
While super physical universe life is all about cooperation and in unity of purpose, on this Urantia world, unfortunately, most people live in survivalist competition with each other.
In preparation for transition to morontia worlds it is stated in UB (1) that the sum total of mortal personality realization on a material world, such as Urantia, occurs via successive conquest of seven psychic circles of mortal potentiality where the individual progress of human beings is measured by their successive attainment and traversal (mastery) of the seven cosmic circles. These circles of mortal progression are levels of associated intellectual, social, spiritual, and cosmic-insight values.
Starting out in the seventh circle, mortals strive for the first, and all who have attained the third immediately have personal guardians of destiny assigned to them. These mortals may be re-personalized in the morontia life independent of dispensational adjudications etc.
UB Paper 49:6
UB 49:6.6 While the older worlds of mortal existence harbor those highly developed and exquisitely spiritual types of human beings who are virtually exempt from the morontia life, the earlier ages of the animal-origin races are characterized by primitive mortals who are so immature that fusion with their Adjusters is impossible. The reawakening of these mortals is accomplished by the guardian seraphim in conjunction with an individualized portion of the immortal spirit of the Third Source and Center.
49:6.7 Thus are the sleeping survivors of a planetary age re-personalized in the dispensational roll calls. But with regard to the non-salvable personalities of a realm, no immortal spirit is present to function with the group guardians of destiny, and this constitutes cessation of creature existence. While some of your records have pictured these events as taking place on the planets of mortal death, they all really occur on the mansion worlds.
49:6.8 2. Mortals of the individual orders of ascension. The individual progress of human beings is measured by their successive attainment and traversal (mastery) of the seven cosmic circles. These circles of mortal progression are levels of associated intellectual, social, spiritual, and cosmic-insight values. Starting out in the seventh circle, mortals strive for the first, and all who have attained the third immediately have personal guardians of destiny assigned to them. These mortals may be re-personalized in the morontia life independent of dispensational or other adjudications.
49:6.9 Throughout the earlier ages of an evolutionary world, few mortals go to judgment on the third day. But as the ages pass, more and more the personal guardians of destiny are assigned to the advancing mortals, and thus increasing numbers of these evolving creatures are re-personalized on the first mansion world on the third day after natural death. On such occasions the return of the Adjuster signalizes the awakening of the human soul, and this is the re-personalization of the dead just as literally as when the en masse roll is called at the end of a dispensation on the evolutionary worlds.”
Therefore, the beginning entrance upon the seventh circle marks the beginning of true human personality function. Completion of the first circle denotes the relative maturity of the mortal being.
Though the traversal of the seven circles of cosmic growth does not equal fusion with the Adjuster, the mastery of these circles marks the attainment of those steps which are preliminary to Adjuster fusion.
UB Paper 110:6
110:6.1 The sum total of personality realization on a material world is contained within the successive conquest of the seven psychic circles of mortal potentiality. Entrance upon the seventh circle marks the beginning of true human personality function. Completion of the first circle denotes the relative maturity of the mortal being. Though the traversal of the seven circles of cosmic growth does not equal fusion with the Adjuster, the mastery of these circles marks the attainment of those steps which are preliminary to Adjuster fusion.
110:6.2 The Adjuster is your equal partner in the attainment of the seven circles — the achievement of comparative mortal maturity. The Adjuster ascends the circles with you from the seventh to the first but progresses to the status of supremacy and self-activity quite independent of the active co-operation of the mortal mind.
110:6.3 The psychic circles are not exclusively intellectual, neither are they wholly morontial; they have to do with personality status, mind attainment, soul growth, and Adjuster attunement. The successful traversal of these levels demands the harmonious functioning of the entire personality, not merely of some one phase thereof. The growth of the parts does not equal the true maturation of the whole; the parts really grow in proportion to the expansion of the entire self — the whole self — material, intellectual, and spiritual.
110:6.4 When the development of the intellectual nature proceeds faster than that of the spiritual, such a situation renders communication with the Thought Adjuster both difficult and dangerous. Likewise, over-spiritual development tends to produce a fanatical and perverted interpretation of the spirit leadings of the divine indweller. Lack of spiritual capacity makes it very difficult to transmit to such a material intellect the spiritual truths resident in the higher super-consciousness. It is to the mind of perfect poise, housed in a body of clean habits, stabilized neural energies, and balanced chemical function — when the physical, mental, and spiritual powers are in triune harmony of development — that a maximum of light and truth can be imparted with a minimum of temporal danger or risk to the real welfare of such a being. By such a balanced growth does man ascend the circles of planetary progression one by one, from the seventh to the first.
110:6.5 The Adjusters are always near you and of you, but rarely can they speak directly, as another being, to you. Circle by circle your intellectual decisions, moral choosing, and spiritual development add to the ability of the Adjuster to function in your mind; circle by circle you thereby ascend from the lower stages of Adjuster association and mind attunement, so that the Adjuster is increasingly enabled to register his picturizations of destiny with augmenting vividness and conviction upon the evolving consciousness of this God-seeking mind-soul.
110:6.6 Every decision you make either impedes or facilitates the function of the Adjuster; likewise do these very decisions determine your advancement in the circles of human achievement. It is true that the supremacy of a decision, its crisis relationship, has a great deal to do with its circle-making influence; nevertheless, numbers of decisions, frequent repetitions, persistent repetitions, are also essential to the habit-forming certainty of such reactions.
110:6.7 It is difficult precisely to define the seven levels of human progression, for the reason that these levels are personal; they are variable for each individual and are apparently determined by the growth capacity of each human being. The conquest of these levels of cosmic evolution is reflected in three ways:
- 1. Adjuster attunement. The spiritualizing mind nears the Adjuster presence proportional to circle attainment.
- 2. Soul evolution. The emergence of the morontia soul indicates the extent and depth of circle mastery.
- 3. Personality reality. The degree of selfhood reality is directly determined by circle conquest. Persons become more real as they ascend from the seventh to the first level of mortal existence.
110:6.11 As the circles are traversed, the child of material evolution is growing into the mature human of immortal potentiality. The shadowy reality of the embryonic nature of a seventh circler is giving way to the clearer manifestation of the emerging morontia nature of a local universe citizen.
110:6.12 While it is impossible precisely to define the seven levels, or psychic circles, of human growth, it is permissible to suggest the minimum and maximum limits of these stages of maturity realization:
110:6.13 The seventh circle. This level is entered when human beings develop the powers of personal choice, individual decision, moral responsibility, and the capacity for the attainment of spiritual individuality. This signifies the united function of the seven adjutant mind-spirits under the direction of the spirit of wisdom, the encircuitment of the mortal creature in the influence of the Holy Spirit, and, on Urantia, the first functioning of the Spirit of Truth, together with the reception of a Thought Adjuster in the mortal mind. Entrance upon the seventh circle constitutes a mortal creature a truly potential citizen of the local universe.
110:6.14 The third circle. The Adjuster’s work is much more effective after the human ascender attains the third circle and receives a personal seraphic guardian of destiny. While there is no apparent concert of effort between the Adjuster and the seraphic guardian, nonetheless there is to be observed an unmistakable improvement in all phases of cosmic achievement and spiritual development subsequent to the assignment of the personal seraphic attendant. When the third circle is attained, the Adjuster endeavors to morontialize the mind of man during the remainder of the mortal life span, to make the remaining circles, and achieve the final stage of the divine-human association before natural death dissolves the unique partnership.
110:6.15 The first circle. The Adjuster cannot, ordinarily, speak directly and immediately with you until you attain the first and final circle of progressive mortal achievement. This level represents the highest possible realization of mind-Adjuster relationship in the human experience prior to the liberation of the evolving morontia soul from the habiliments of the material body. Concerning mind, emotions, and cosmic insight, this achievement of the first psychic circle is the nearest possible approach of material mind and spirit Adjuster in human experience.
110:6.16 Perhaps these psychic circles of mortal progression would be better denominated cosmic levels — actual meaning grasps and value realizations of progressive approach to the morontia consciousness of initial relationship of the evolutionary soul with the emerging Supreme Being. And it is this very relationship that makes it forever impossible fully to explain the significance of the cosmic circles to the material mind. These circle attainments are only relatively related to God-consciousness. A seventh or sixth circler can be almost as truly God-knowing — sonship conscious — as a second or first circler, but such lower circle beings are far less conscious of experiential relation to the Supreme Being, universe citizenship. The attainment of these cosmic circles will become a part of the ascenders’ experience on the mansion worlds if they fail of such achievement before natural death.
110:6.17 The motivation of faith makes experiential the full realization of man’s sonship with God, but action, completion of decisions, is essential to the evolutionary attainment of consciousness of progressive kinship with the cosmic actuality of the Supreme Being.
Faith transmutes potentials to actuals in the spiritual world, but potentials become actuals in the finite realms of the Supreme only by and through the realization of choice experience.
But choosing to do the will of God joins spiritual faith to material decisions in personality action and thus supplies a divine and spiritual fulcrum for the more effective functioning of the human and material leverage of God-hunger. Such a wise co-ordination of material and spiritual forces greatly augments both cosmic realization of the Supreme and morontia comprehension of the Paradise Deities.
110:6.18 The mastery of the cosmic circles is related to the quantitative growth of the morontia soul, the comprehension of supreme meanings. But the qualitative status of this immortal soul is wholly dependent on the grasp of living faith upon the Paradise-potential fact-value that mortal man is a son of the eternal God. Therefore does a seventh circler go on to the mansion worlds to attain further quantitative realization of cosmic growth just as does a second or even a first circler.
110:6.19 There is only an indirect relation between cosmic-circle attainment and actual spiritual religious experience; such attainments are reciprocal and therefore mutually beneficial. Purely spiritual development may have little to do with planetary material prosperity, but circle attainment always augments the potential of human success and mortal achievement.
110:6.20 From the seventh to the third circle there occurs increased and unified action of the seven adjutant mind-spirits in the task of weaning the mortal mind from its dependence on the realities of the material life mechanisms preparatory to increased introduction to morontia levels of experience. From the third circle onward the adjutant influence progressively diminishes.
110:6.21 The seven circles embrace mortal experience extending from the highest purely animal level to the lowest actual contactual morontia level of self-consciousness as a personality experience. The mastery of the first cosmic circle signalizes the attainment of pre-morontia mortal maturity and marks the termination of the conjoint ministry of the adjutant mind-spirits as an exclusive influence of mind action in the human personality. Beyond the first circle, mind becomes increasingly akin to the intelligence of the morontia stage of evolution, the conjoined ministry of the cosmic mind and the super-adjutant endowment of the Creative Spirit of a local universe.
110:6.22 The great days in the individual careers of Adjusters are: first, when the human subject breaks through into the third psychic circle, thus insuring the Monitor’s self-activity and increased range of function (provided the indweller was not already self-acting); then, when the human partner attains the first psychic circle, and they are thereby enabled to intercommunicate, at least to some degree; and last, when they are finally and eternally fused.
