The Afterlife

The Urantia book is amazing in that it gives us a glimpse into the afterlife and what will happen to us when we die. There is no more guess work. There is no more believing in a mythical heaven with gold streets. We are going to the Morantia worlds which are planets where we will begin our career towards ascension.

This is a summary list taken from various places within the Urantia book.
