5:6.3 Personality is [[potential]] in all creatures who possess a [[mind]] endowment ranging from the minimum of self-[[consciousness]] to the maximum of [[God-consciousness]]. But mind endowment alone is not personality, neither is [[spirit]] nor [[physical]] [[energy]]. Personality is that [[quality]] and value in cosmic [[reality]] which is exclusively bestowed by [[First Source and Center|God the Father]] upon these living [[systems]] of the [[associated]] and co-ordinated energies of [[matter]], [[mind]], and [[spirit]]. Neither is personality a [[progressive]] [[achievement]]. Personality may be [[material]] or [[spiritual]], but there either is personality or there is no personality. The other-than-personal never attains the level of the personal except by the direct [[act]] of the [[Paradise Father]].

The [[Foundation|fundamental]] attributes of human selfhood, as well as the absolute [[Thought Adjuster|Adjuster]] [[nucleus]] of the human personality, are the bestowals of the Universal Father, acting in his exclusively personal domain of [[cosmic]] [[ministry]].

5:6.6 Capacity for divine personality is inherent in the prepersonal [[Thought Adjuster|Adjuster]]; capacity for human personality is [[potential]] in the [[Adjutant Mind Spirits|cosmic-mind endowment]] of the [[human being]]. But the experiential personality of mortal man is not observable as an active and [[function]]al [[reality]] until after the material life [[Body|vehicle]] of the mortal creature has been [[touched]] by the [[Liberty|liberating]] [[divinity]] of the [[Universal Father]], being thus launched upon the seas of experience as a self-conscious and a ([[relative]]ly) self-determinative and self-[[creative]] personality. The [[material]] self is truly and unqualifiedly [[personal]].

5:6.8 Having thus [[Providence|provided]] for the [[growth]] of the immortal soul and having liberated man's [[Inner Life|inner self]] from the fetters of [[absolute]] dependence on antecedent [[causation]], the Father stands aside. Now, man having thus been liberated from the fetters of causation [[response]], at least as pertains to [[eternal]] [[destiny]], and provision having been made for the growth of the immortal self, the soul, it remains for man himself to will the creation or to inhibit the creation of this surviving and eternal self which is his for the choosing. No other [[being]], [[force]], [[creator]], or [[agency]] in all the wide [[universe of universes]] can [[interfere]] to any [[degree]] with the [[absolute]] [[sovereignty]] of the mortal [[free will]], as it operates within the realms of [[choice]], regarding the eternal destiny of the personality of the choosing mortal. As pertains to eternal survival, God has decreed the [[sovereignty]] of the material and mortal will, and that decree is [[absolute]].
