Mota

 

Morontia mota

is the name

Used to describe the technique

For the teaching and content

Of education

Designed to enlarge

The dimensional experiences

Of mansion world students. 

Beginning Mota

 

The lower planes

Of morontia mota

Taught on the first mansion world

Link directly to successively higher levels.

 

Less advanced students

Are taught

Using a parallel column technique. 

 

In one column

The simplest concepts

Of mota meanings are written. 

In a parallel column,

Analogous statements

Of mortal philosophy are listed.  

(A book of quotations

Published on Earth

Called The New Dictionary of Thoughts

Was a source of some of the statements

Of human philosophy

Used by one morontia mota teacher.)

 

Advanced pupils on the first mansion world

Study the higher levels

Of cosmic insight

And morontia mota.

Language

 

Mortal ascenders

Do not acquire

New languages automatically.

 

Languages are learned

On the mansion worlds

Just as they are on Earth.

 

Morontia Companions

Are the language teachers.

The first language studied

On the mansion worlds

Is the tongue of the system, Satania

And then the language

Of Nebadon, the local universe.

 

While students

Master the new tongues,

The Morontia Companions

Act as translators for them.

 

Masters Degrees

 

Things mortals

Might have but failed to learn

On earth

Must be acquired under the tutelage

Of dedicated teachers.

 

There are no short cuts.

The lessons of one sphere

Must be mastered

Before proceeding to another.

 

One of the purposes

Of the morontia career

Is to eradicate

All lingering animal traits

Such as procrastination, equivocation,

Insincerity, problem avoidance,

Unfairness, and ease seeking.

 

Postponement is not avoidance.

Time is no longer a tool

For dodging situations

Or circumventing

Difficult obligations.

The Light of Mota

 

 It is through the blended medium

Of the light of knowledge

(The light of the personality)

And the light of wisdom

(The light of the soul)

That the Light of Mota

Is seen, known and appropriated.

 

The light of mota

Suffuses lesser lights

Through the radiance of its power. 

 

The illumination

That flows from the soul

(Whose nature is light)

Can irradiate not only ideals

But life, circumstances and events,

Revealing the cause

And the meaning of the experience.

 

 Even on Earth,

As the cosmic circles are traversed

(By individuals and man collectively),

The sons of God

In the world

Will reproduce on the physical plane

Through morontia matter

That which exists subjectively.

Seeing Continuity

 

The apparent defects

Of the natural world

Are not indicative

Of any defects

In the nature of God.

 

The material manifestations

Of divinity appear defective

To the evolutionary mind of man

Because mortal man

Persists in viewing the phenomena

Of nature through

Physical eyes -

Human vision unaided

By morontia mota or by revelation.

(Revelation is the compensatory substitute

For mota on the worlds of time.)

 

 Detecting harmony through mota

In what was previously seen as chaos,

Is a significant advance

For the ascending personality.

Schools

 

In the schools of the morontia life,

The teachers engage

In individual, group, class,

And mass teaching.

 

On the mansion worlds,

Schools are organized

In three general groups

Of one hundred divisions each:

Schools of thinking,

Of feeling,

And of doing.

 

At the constellation level,

Schools of ethics,

Of administration,

And social adjustment are added.

 

On the universe headquarters worlds,

Ascenders enter the schools

Of philosophy,

Divinity,

And pure spirituality.
