Hi Fellowtraveler. Where did you read that information because I was just reading yesterday and highlighted the following passage:
"PAPER 189 - THE RESURRECTION
line 62: After the chief of archangels had been granted this request, he summoned to his assistance many of his fellows, together with a numerous host of the representatives of all orders of celestial personalities, and then, with the aid of the Urantia midwayers, proceeded to take possession of Jesus' physical body. This body of death was a purely material creation; it was physical and literal; it could not be removed from the tomb as the morontia form of the resurrection had been able to escape the sealed sepulchre.
By the aid of certain morontia auxiliary personalities, the morontia form can be made at one time as of the spirit so that it can become indifferent to ordinary matter, while at another time it can become discernible and contactable to material beings, such as the mortals of the realm.
line 106: These human eyes were enabled to see the morontia form of Jesus because of the special ministry of the transformers and the midwayers in association with certain of the morontia personalities then accompanying Jesus."
These passages were on the resurrection of Jesus. Also, my mother recently passed and my son and I were reading about parents on the Morontia worlds, where is said that we really do get to see our families on the other side. Now this amazed me because, although I believe in an afterlife, I'm not sure I believed that we would actually see our folks on the other side, but the book says that we would be conscious of all we have known on this side.
