The seven mansion worlds and the morontia progression after death (UB 47-48) = Bardo Thödol: the Tibetan Book of the Dead and its post-mortem stages

The Bardo Thödol describes the post-mortem experience as a structured sequence of phases (the bardo of dying, the bardo of dharmata, the bardo of becoming), each with characteristic perceptions, encounters with peaceful and wrathful deities, and opportunities for liberation. The UB describes post-mortem ascent as a structured progression through seven mansion worlds, each with its own developmental focus, its own specialized personalities who assist the ascender, and its own tests that must be passed before advancement. The shared structure (staged post-mortem progression, personalities encountered at each stage, testing and refinement at each level) is precise.
