112:1.9 The [[type]] of [[personality]] bestowed upon [[Urantia]] [[mortals]] has a [[potentiality]] of [[seven]] [[dimensions]] of [[self]]-[[expression]] or [[person]]-[[realization]]. These dimensional [[phenomena]] are realizable as three on the [[finite]] level, three on the [[absonite]] level, and one on the [[absolute]] level. On subabsolute levels this [[seventh]] or [[totality]] dimension is experiencible as the [[fact]] of [[personality]]. This [[supreme]] [[dimension]] is an [[associable]] [[absolute]] and, while not [[infinite]], is dimensionally [[potential]] for subinfinite penetration of the absolute.

112:1.10 The [[finite]] [[dimensions]] of [[personality]] have to do with [[cosmic]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Length length], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth depth], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breadth breadth]. Length denotes [[meaning]]; depth signifies [[value]]; breadth embraces [[insight]]—the [[capacity]] to [[experience]] unchallengeable [[consciousness]] of [[cosmic]] [[reality]].

112:1.11 On the [[morontia]] level all of these [[finite]] [[dimensions]] of the [[material]] level are greatly enhanced, and certain new dimensional [[values]] are realizable. All these enlarged dimensional [[experiences]] of the [[morontia]] level are marvelously articulated with the [[supreme]] or [[personality]] dimension through the [[influence]] of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_48#48:7._MORONTIA_MOTA mota] and also because of the contribution of [[morontia]] [[mathematics]].

112:1.12 Much trouble [[experienced]] by [[mortals]] in their [[study]] of [[human]] [[personality]] could be avoided if the [[finite]] [[creature]] would remember that [[dimensional]] levels and [[spiritual]] levels are not [[co-ordinated]] in experiential [[personality]] [[realization]].

112:1.14 [[Physical]] life is a [[process]] taking place not so much within the [[organism]] as between the organism and the [[environment]]. And every such [[process]] tends to [[create]] and [[establish]] organismal [[patterns]] of [[reaction]] to such an [[environment]]. And all such directive [[patterns]] are highly [[influential]] in goal choosing.

112:1.15 It is through the [[mediation]] of [[mind]] that [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_112#112:2._THE_SELF the self] and the [[environment]] establish [[meaningful]] [[contact]]. The [[ability]] and willingness of the [[organism]] to make such significant [[contacts]] with [[environment]] ([[response]] to a drive) [[represents]] the [[attitude]] of the whole [[personality]].

112:1.16 [[Personality]] cannot very well perform in [[isolation]]. Man is innately a [[social]] [[creature]]; he is dominated by the craving of belongingness. It is [[literally]] true, "No man lives unto himself."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Letter_of_Paul_to_the_Romans#The_Letter_of_Paul_to_the_Romans.2C_XIV]

112:1.17 But the [[concept]] of the [[personality]] as the [[meaning]] of the [[whole]] of the living and [[functioning]] [[creature]] means much more than the [[integration]] of [[relationships]]; it [[signifies]] the [[unification]] of all [[factors]] of [[reality]] as well as [[co-ordination]] of [[relationships]]. Relationships exist between two objects, but [[three]] or more objects [[eventuate]] a [[system]], and such a system is much more than just an enlarged or [[complex]] [[relationship]]. This distinction is [[vital]], for in a [[cosmic]] system the [[individual]] members are not [[connected]] with each other except in [[relation]] to the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_12#12:7._THE_PART_AND_THE_WHOLE whole] and through the [[individuality]] of the whole.

112:1.18 In the [[human]] [[organism]] the [[summation]] of its [[parts]] constitutes [[selfhood]]—[[individuality]]—but such a [[process]] has nothing whatever to do with [[personality]], which is the unifier of all these [[factors]] as related to [[cosmic]] [[realities]].

112:1.19 In [[aggregations]] [[parts]] are added; in [[systems]] parts are arranged. [[Systems]] are significant because of [[organization]]—positional [[values]]. In a [[good]] [[system]] all [[factors]] are in [[cosmic]] position. In a bad system something is either missing or displaced—deranged. In the [[human]] system it is the [[personality]] which unifies all [[activities]] and in turn imparts the [[qualities]] of [[identity]] and [[creativity]].
