Body is the living electrochemical mechanism of animal nature and origin. [1]
Human body is nourished and energized by the circulatory distribution of the assimilable energy products of nourishment. [2] Gland chemistry of certain glands comparable to the pituitary bodies effects inherent imagination and spiritual receptivity. [3]
When a living cell is injured, it possesses the ability to elaborate certain chemical substances which are empowered so to stimulate and activate the neighboring normal cells that they immediately begin the secretion of certain substances which facilitate healing processes in the wound. [4]
The body cells of the Material Sons are far more resistant to disease than human beings. The body cells of humans are akin to the living disease-producing microscopic and ultramicroscopic organisms of the realm. These facts explain why we the Urantia peoples must do so much by way of scientific effort to withstand so many physical disorders. We would be far more disease resistant if our races carried more of the Adamic life. [5]
The life mechanism of the mortal personality, the human body, is the product of supermortal creative design; therefore it can never be perfectly controlled by man himself. [6]
To a certain extent, the appearance of the material body-form is responsive to the character of the personality identity; the physical body does, to a limited degree, reflect something of the inherent nature of the personality. [7] The spirit is the architect, the mind is the builder, the body is the material building. [8]
The physical bodies of mortals are “the temples of God”. the body and mind of man are the dwelling place of the gift of the Gods, the spirit of God becoming the spirit of man. [9]
How unkind knowingly to defile or otherwise deliberately to pollute the physical body, which must serve as the earthly tabernacle of this marvelous gift from God. [10]
The angels cannot transport combustion bodies—flesh and blood—such as we now have, but they can transport all others, from the lowest morontia to the higher spirit forms. [11] After death, body is discarded. Body becomes a duscarded outer covering. [12]
The liaison of the cosmic mind and the ministry of the adjutant mind-spirits evolve a suitable physical tabernacle for the evolving human being. [13]
In the physical life, mortals may be outwardly beautiful though inwardly unlovely; in the morontia life, and increasingly on its higher levels, the personality form will vary directly in accordance with the nature of the inner person. [14]
The hundred-strong entourage of Caligastia consisted of one hundred Jerusemites for whom material bodies were built on Urantia using the genes of one hundred Andonites who became their helpers. [15]
