112:5.1 [[Selfhood]] is a [[cosmic]] [[reality]] whether [[material]], [[morontial]], or [[spiritual]]. The [[actuality]] of the [[personal]] is the [[bestowal]] of the [[Universal Father]] [[acting]] in and of himself or through his manifold [[universe]] [[agencies]]. To say that a [[being]] is [[personal]] is to [[recognize]] the [[relative]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Individuation individuation] of such a [[being]] within the [[cosmic]] [[organism]]. The living [[cosmos]] is an all but infinitely [[integrated]] [[aggregation]] of real [[units]], all of which are [[relatively]] subject to the [[destiny]] of the [[whole]]. But those that are [[personal]] have been [[endowed]] with the [[actual]] [[choice]] of [[destiny]] [[acceptance]] or of destiny rejection.

But those that are [[personal]] have been [[endowed]] with the [[actual]] [[choice]] of [[destiny]] [[acceptance]] or of destiny rejection.

112:5.2 That which comes from [[the Father]] is like the [[Father]] [[eternal]], and this is just as true of [[personality]], which [[God]] gives by his own [[freewill]] choice, as it is of the [[divine]] [[Thought Adjuster]], an actual [[fragment]] of [[God]]. Man's [[personality]] is [[eternal]] but with regard to [[identity]] a conditioned [[eternal]] [[reality]]. Having appeared in [[response]] to [[the Father]]'s will, [[personality]] will [[attain]] [[Deity]] [[destiny]], but man must [[choose]] whether or not he will be present at the [[attainment]] of such [[destiny]]. In [[default]] of such [[choice]], [[personality]] [[attains]] [[Supreme|experiential Deity]] directly, becoming a part of the [[Supreme Being]]. The [[cycle]] is foreordained, but man's [[participation]] therein is [[optional]], [[personal]], and experiential.

The [[cycle]] is foreordained, but man's [[participation]] therein is [[optional]], [[personal]], and experiential.

112:5.3 [[Mortal]] [[identity]] is a transient [[time]]-life condition in the [[universe]]; it is [[real]] only in so far as the [[personality]] elects to become a continuing [[universe]] [[phenomenon]]. This is the [[essential]] [[difference]] between man and an [[energy]] [[system]]: The energy system must continue, it has no [[choice]]; but man has everything to do with determining his own [[destiny]]. The [[Adjuster]] is truly the [[path]] to [[Paradise]], but man himself must pursue that [[path]] by his own deciding, his [[freewill]] choosing.

112:5.4 [[Human beings]] [[possess]] [[identity]] only in the [[material]] sense. Such [[qualities]] of the [[self]] are [[expressed]] by the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_42#10._UNIVERSAL_NONSPIRITUAL_ENERGY_SYSTEMS_.28MATERIAL_MIND_SYSTEMS.29 material mind] as it [[functions]] in the [[energy]] [[system]] of the [[intellect]]. When it is said that man has [[identity]], it is recognized that he is in [[possession]] of a [[mind]] [[circuit]] which has been placed in subordination to the [[acts]] and choosing of the will of the [[human]] [[personality]]. But this is a [[material]] and purely temporary [[manifestation]], just as the [[human]] [[embryo]] is a transient [[parasitic]] [[stage]] of human life. [[Human beings]], from a [[cosmic]] [[perspective]], are born, live, and die in a [[relative]] instant of time; they are not [[enduring]]. But [[mortal]] [[personality]], through its own [[choosing]], possesses the power of [[transferring]] its seat of [[identity]] from the passing [[material]]-[[intellect]] [[system]] to the higher [[morontia]]-[[soul]] system which, in [[association]] with the [[Thought Adjuster]], is created as a new vehicle for [[personality]] [[manifestation]].

112:5.5 And it is this very [[power]] of [[choice]], the [[universe]] insignia of [[freewill]] creaturehood, that [[constitutes]] man's greatest [[opportunity]] and his [[supreme]] [[cosmic]] [[responsibility]]. Upon the [[integrity]] of the [[human]] [[volition]] depends the [[eternal]] [[destiny]] of the [[future]] [[finaliter]]; upon the [[sincerity]] of the [[mortal]] [[free will]] the [[divine]] [[Adjuster]] depends for [[eternal]] [[personality]]; upon the [[faithfulness]] of [[mortal]] [[choice]] the [[Universal Father]] depends for the [[realization]] of a new [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40 ascending son]; upon the [[steadfastness]] and [[wisdom]] of [[decision]]-[[actions]] the [[Supreme Being]] depends for the [[actuality]] of experiential [[evolution]].

You will be afforded additional [[time]] in which to [[prove]] yourself.

You will be afforded additional [[time]] in which to [[prove]] yourself.

112:5.7 If ever there is [[doubt]] as to the advisability of advancing a [[human]] [[identity]] to the [[mansion worlds]], the [[universe]] [[governments]] invariably rule in the [[personal]] interests of that [[individual]]; they unhesitatingly advance such a [[soul]] to the [[status]] of a [[transitional]] [[being]], while they continue their [[observations]] of the [[emerging]] [[morontia]] [[intent]] and [[spiritual]] [[purpose]]. Thus [[divine]] [[justice]] is certain of [[achievement]], and divine [[mercy]] is accorded further [[opportunity]] for extending its [[ministry]].

112:5.8 The [[governments]] of [[Orvonton]] and [[Nebadon]] do not claim [[absolute]] [[perfection]] for the detail working of the [[universal]] [[plan]] of [[mortal]] [[repersonalization]], but they do claim to, and actually do, [[manifest]] [[patience]], [[tolerance]], [[understanding]], and merciful [[sympathy]]. We had rather assume the [[risk]] of a [[the System|system]] [[rebellion]] than to court the hazard of depriving one [[struggling]] [[mortal]] from any [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 evolutionary world] of the [[eternal]] [[joy]] of pursuing the [[ascending career]].

112:5.9 This does not mean that [[human being]]s are to enjoy a second [[opportunity]] in the face of the rejection of a first, not at all. But it does [[signify]] that all [[Free will|will]] [[creatures]] are to [[experience]] one true [[opportunity]] to make one undoubted, [[self-conscious]], and final [[choice]]. The [[Ancients of Days|sovereign Judges]] of the [[universes]] will not deprive any being of [[personality]] [[status]] who has not finally and fully made the [[eternal]] [[choice]]; the [[soul]] of man must and will be given full and ample [[opportunity]] to reveal its true [[intent]] and real [[purpose]].

112:5.11 There are two [[difficulties]] that hamper my efforts to [[explain]] just what happens to you in [[death]], the surviving you which is distinct from the departing [[Adjuster]]. One of these consists in the impossibility of conveying to your [[level]] of [[comprehension]] an adequate description of a [[transaction]] on the borderland of the [[physical]] and [[morontia]] realms. The other is brought about by the restrictions placed upon my commission as a [[revelator]] of [[truth]] by the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_114 celestial governing authorities] of [[Urantia]]. There are many interesting details which might be presented, but I withhold them upon the advice of your [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_114 immediate planetary supervisors].

112:5.12 There is something real, something of [[human]] [[evolution]], something additional to the [[Mystery Monitor]], which [[survives]] [[death]].

112:5.13 This [[child]] of [[persisting]] [[meaning]] and surviving [[value]] is wholly [[unconscious]] during the period from [[death]] to [[repersonalization]] and is in the keeping of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_113#113:2._THE_DESTINY_GUARDIANS seraphic destiny guardian] throughout this [[season]] of waiting.

112:5.14 At [[death]] the [[functional]] [[identity]] [[associated]] with the [[human]] [[personality]] is disrupted through the cessation of [[vital]] [[motion]]. [[Human]] [[personality]], while [[transcending]] its constituent [[parts]], is dependent on them for [[functional]] [[identity]]. The stoppage of life destroys the [[physical]] [[brain]] [[patterns]] for [[mind]] [[endowment]], and the disruption of [[mind]] terminates [[mortal]] [[consciousness]]. The [[consciousness]] of that [[creature]] cannot subsequently reappear until a [[cosmic]] situation has been arranged which will permit the same human [[personality]] again to [[function]] in [[relationship]] with living [[energy]].

*2. 112:5.18 The return of the [[Adjuster]] to the waiting [[morontia]] creature. The [[Adjuster]] is the [[eternal]] custodian of your [[ascending]] [[identity]]; your Monitor is the [[absolute]] [[assurance]] that you yourself and not another will occupy the [[morontia]] form created for your [[personality]] [[awakening]].
