Morontian Beings are personal creatures who inhabit the morontia levels of existence—the intermediate state between the material and spiritual realms. They are neither mortal nor fully spiritual; they live and function in the transitional domains where ascending mortals begin their eternal journey after death.
Morontian beings are essential participants in the early stages of ascendant life, serving as teachers, companions, helpers, administrators, and guides.
They represent the bridge between the human experience and full spiritual existence.
Spiritual Context

They include:
-
Morontia Companions

Morontia Power Supervisors

Evangelists and Teachers of Morontia Life
