After Jesus died on the cross, and after 3 days in the tomb, we know that he resurrected...just as we are hoping to, if we achieve enough of our own "spiritual program" here in our understanding of loving service and our sonship with the Father. Jesus passed through all the stages of the mansion worlds (remember he spoke in the Bible of having many mansions in his universe?)these are not huge houses, but huge worlds, whereupon we become more and more spirit-like until we choose to become one with our Father Fragment = perfect, even as He is perfect. He was already perfect and it met with the approval of the Father at his Baptism. We, other other hand, will have to do all that in a million years maybe!  

And then! Must we pass through billions of more years in traversing our local universe worlds, followed by our Superuniverse worlds and programs, finally on to Havona and to experience those 1 000 000 worlds which surround Paradise...THEN will we be ready to actually be able to "see" with spiritual eyes our Paradise Father! Whew. But our Beloved Creator Father and Brother Jesus did it in 40 days. Wow.

So, on May 18, AD 30, when he ascended to the Father, he was Spirit...yes, certainly alive, but not in the "flesh alive"...our hopeful future as well. Subsequent to being approved by the Father for having perfectly completed all 7 creature bestowals to the Father’s satisfaction, 1) he was named Master Paradise Creator Son as full Sovereign over his own-created universe, Nebadon, after which he returned from Paradise to his rightful place in his/our universe, to regain sovereignty as our Creator Michael.

On that momentous day, 2) Michael was named Planetary Prince of our world, Urantia, as the former Prince was deposed because of rebellion; 3) Michael/Jesus poured out his promised Comforter, the Spirit of Truth, on to all flesh in his whole universe; 4) he proclaimed our Universe Mother as his full and equal partner /co-ruler and everyone recognized her personality and all were required to pledge allegiance to her; also, 5) on that day(!), the first governor-general of our seraphic planetary government arrived on Urantia to help us in our progress with 12 corps of special seraphim and others....WHAT A DAY!
