9. Heaven isn’t just one place; it’s many places. The Apostle Paul said he knew someone who was caught up into the third heaven; other religions say there are seven heavens. According to the Urantia Book, our first destination after we die is then first mansion world; there are a total of seven of these mansion worlds. Jesus spoke of these when he said that in his Father’s house are many mansions. As described in the Bible, the Apostles John and Paul had visions of these worlds.
 

Paper 47 of the Urantia Book describes life on the seven mansion worlds. When we awaken on the first mansion world, we will have a new body and new mind, but the same personality; we will remember who we were and still are. We will start on the first mansion world where we left off when we left this life. We will continue our spiritual, social, and intellectual growth there, but we will have the assistance of wonderful teachers, many of whom are angels. We are still more material than spiritual there. We will eat morontia vegetables, and sleep to refresh ourselves. We will live in beautiful homes and be able to travel to see the wonders of the seven mansion worlds in our spare time.

There are many other levels to ascend after we finish our education on the seven mansion worlds and graduate to the next level. When we have ascended through all the levels, we will be fully spiritual beings and we’ll achieve Paradise and meet our heavenly Father.
