On the second mansion world, the mind is healed, communities begin to form, and the ascending soul enters a wider social life.

On the third mansion world, true morontia culture begins. The Mansion World Teachers guide the survivors into deeper meaning, service, and universe understanding.

The mansion worlds are schools, communities, healing worlds, and living worlds.

Survival is only the beginning.
The real ascent has just begun.

47:4.8 (535.4)Mansonia number two more specifically provides for the removal of all phases of intellectual conflict and for the cure of all varieties of mental disharmony. The effort to master the significance of morontia mota, begun on the first mansion world, is here more earnestly continued. The development on mansonia number two compares with the intellectual status of the post-Magisterial Son culture of the ideal evolutionary worlds.

47:5.1 (535.5)Mansonia the third is the headquarters of the Mansion World Teachers. Though they function on all seven of the mansion spheres, they maintain their group headquarters at the center of the school circles of world number three. There are millions of these instructors on the mansion and higher morontia worlds. These advanced and glorified cherubim serve as morontia teachers all the way up from the mansion worlds to the last sphere of local universe ascendant training. They will be among the last to bid you an affectionate adieu when the farewell time draws near, the time when you bid good-bye—at least for a few ages—to the universe of your origin, when you enseraphim for transit to the receiving worlds of the minor sector of the superuniverse.

Heading:
God's love is Greatest. 

Chorus:
God's love is greatest, higher than the skies,
Deeper than the ocean,reaching far and wide,
No power can defeat it,no darkness can divide,
Forever we'll proclaim,.......your love is life. ×1
Verse 1.
From the heavens to the earth, your love shines brighter than the sun......no height, no depth,no fear,no hurt can separate us from Your love,

Verse 2.
You gave Your son to save our Souls, Your mercy flows like endless grace.....through every storm,...You hold us close, We sheltered in Your warm embrace,

Verse 3. (Bridge)
Hallelujah, let the earth declare, no love compares, no love as rare,..Mountains bow and oceans lower, God's is greatest forever more.......,

Ending:

Chorus:
God's love is greatest higher than the skies,Deeper than the oceans reaching far and wide,no power can defeat it,no darkness can divine, forever we'll proclaim, your love is life ×2

Forever we'll proclaim,....Your love is life. ×4

Now, and in gratitude for the uncountable good works Norman Ingram has done to further the advancement of The Fifth Epochal Revelation to mankind, and for the many hearts, minds and souls he has touch through unselfish loving service, I humbly submit this presentation in honor of a Truly Great Man and for a Job Well Done!

We love you Brother Norman! Minister Pato Banton

#RiseInPeace my brother 05/20/1937 - 05/28/2019 12:15am -

Lina was there.

I was a lonely, dejected and very isolated reader of The Urantia Book in Birmingham England when Norman Ingram came to see me and lit a fire within me that continues to rage! For this I will be eternally grateful.

Norman D. Ingram, co-founder of UNO (Urantia Nations Outreach)

On May 20th 1937 Norman was born in Rocky Ford, Colorado and grew up in La Junta, CO. He had unusual opportunities as a boy, belonging to the "Koshare Indians" (an Explorer Boy Scout Troop) that was involved with Native American arts, crafts and dance.

At age 14 he performed in a dance troop that toured the USA's country side presenting Plains and Pueblo American ceremonial dances. After graduating from high school he attended a Christian college - John Brown University in Arkansas. During this time he also became interested in flying and took flying lessons. Combining his interest in flying and Christian outreach, Norman decided to be a "flying missionary" and pursued this dream as a missionary to the "Inuit Peoples" at Eskimo Point, on the Hudson Bay. Their mission statement was: Sharing the love of Jesus (Christ Michael) through aviation so that isolated people may be physically and spiritually transformed. They used an aircraft with floats and dog sleds in bad weather. After this he attended Spartan School of Aeronautics, in Oklahoma, and obtained the equivalent of an FAA certified license which then took him to his first job working out of theSan Francisco International Airport.

A day Norman will never forget is October 17, 1966 when he moved to Honolulu, Hawaii. There he worked as a mechanical sales engineer for a big pineapple and sugar company, flying back and forth between the islands. He was almost "flying in Paradise," but not quite…..this was only the beginning. He bought his own planes and started his own business.

Then in 1971 something really gigantic happened! Someone introduced him to The URANTIA Book and after that his life was never the same. He was starting a study group with a friend within a week!

In 1981 Norman attended his first ICC in Aspen, CO. and later became even more inspired while attending the Boulder School in 1984 and 85. At a summer NYconference in 1994 Norman felt the calling to take Books to Peru and in '95 he flew to South America with Duane Faw and Stella Religa meeting Pradhana Fuchs for the first time. Pradhana had been reading THE TROJAN HORSE and was ready for more information. Then with Pradhana and Ernesto Ruiz from Mexico Norman traveled throughout Mexico and South America, placing 184 books in all the municipal and national libraries, universities and prisons.

In 1997 Norman and Don Roark opened a Urantia Book Display Booth on Venice Beach Boardwalk, introducing new readers to the book and answering questions. Later that year they went on a four week tour of Asia delivering 120 Books to libraries and universities.

In 1998 and 2000 Norman made two separate trips to 28 countries in Africa delivering 128 French & 200 English books. Here among others he met the master teacher, Moussa Ndiaye (Senegal), leader/teachers Prince John Badioo (Ghana) and Father Louis (Guinea) who have all since visited Norman in the USA.

When asked about obstacles he faced, he comments- "crossing the national borders by land was always a major hassle plus their wanting to charge us Duty for the Books. " Even so, Norman somehow managed to make the crossings safely, though not without many delays. There are now active study groups is Guinea, Ghana, Senegal, and of course, Chile, that have developed directly from these major endeavors.

On a trip to Africa via England, Norman & Stella visited the home of Pato Banton & a long term friendship developed. Inspired by Norman’s enthusiasm Pato re-opened his home for a weekly study group and started on a long journey that has culminated in Pato’s becoming a devout forerunner of the Urantia Revelation.

Norman even toured with Pato occasionally from 2006 to 2009 promoting the Urantia Book from the Merch Booth. Since setting up the Urantia Book Display Booth on Venice Beach Boardwalk in 1997 Norman continues to provide this fruitful service on most Sundays. Norman says his greatest reward and satisfaction is, "when a beam of light glimmers in my brother's eye as he accepts the truth we have for him. Also, when I get a new story of "How I Found The Urantia Book" from a new believer, it‘s better than getting a paycheck you did not expect."
