2:3.2 How futile to make puerile [[Prayer|appeals]] to such a [[God]] to modify his changeless decrees so that we can avoid the just consequences of the operation of his wise [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Natural_Law-2008-06-02#Law natural laws] and righteous [[spiritual]] [[mandates]]! "Be not deceived; God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap." True, even in the [[justice]] of reaping the [[harvest]] of wrongdoing, this divine justice is always tempered with [[mercy]]. Infinite [[wisdom]] is the eternal arbiter which determines the [[proportions]] of justice and mercy which shall be meted out in any given circumstance. The greatest punishment (in [[reality]] an inevitable consequence) for wrongdoing and [[Intention|deliberate]] [[rebellion]] against the [[Paper 33 - Administration of the Local Universe|government of God]] is loss of [[existence]] as an individual [[citizen|subject]] of that government. The final result of wholehearted [[sin]] is annihilation. In the last [[analysis]], such sin-identified [[individuals]] have destroyed themselves by becoming wholly unreal through their [[embrace]] of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_148#148:4._EVIL.2C_SIN.2C_AND_INIQUITY iniquity iniquity]. The factual disappearance of such a [[creature]] is, however, always delayed until the ordained order of justice current in that universe has been fully complied with.

2:3.3 Cessation of existence is usually decreed at the dispensational or [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Divine_Justice-2001-04-01 epochal adjudication] of the realm or realms. On a world such as Urantia it comes at the end of a [[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_52|planetary dispensation]]. Cessation of existence can be decreed at such times by co-ordinate action of all tribunals of jurisdiction, extending from the [[Council of 24|planetary council]] up through the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_33#33:7._THE_COURTS_OF_NEBADON courts of the Creator Son] to the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_15#15:12._THE_SUPREME_TRIBUNALS judgment tribunals] of the [[Ancients of Days]]. The mandate of dissolution originates in the [[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_15#15:12._THE_SUPREME_TRIBUNALS higher courts] of the [[superuniverse]] following an unbroken confirmation of the indictment originating on the [[sphere]] of the wrongdoer's [[Home|residence]]; and then, when sentence of extinction has been confirmed on high, the execution is by the direct act of those judges residential on, and operating from, the [[Uversa|headquarters]] of the [[superuniverse]].

2:3.4 When this sentence is finally confirmed, the [[sin]]-identified being instantly becomes as though he had not been. There is no [[resurrection]] from such a [[Destiny|fate]]; it is everlasting and eternal. The living [[energy]] factors of [[identity]] are resolved by the [[transformations]] of [[time]] and the [[metamorphoses]] of [[space]] into the [[cosmic]] [[potentials]] whence they once emerged. As for the [[personality]] of the iniquitous one, it is deprived of a continuing [Body|life vehicle]] by the [[creature]]'s failure to make those [[choices]] and final decisions which would have assured eternal life. When the continued [[embrace]] of [[sin]] by the associated mind culminates in complete self-identification with [[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_148#148:4._EVIL.2C_SIN.2C_AND_INIQUITY iniquity], then upon the cessation of life, upon cosmic dissolution, such an [[Isolation|isolated]] personality is absorbed into the [[Paper 117 - God the Supreme|oversoul]] of [[creation]], becoming a part of the evolving experience of the [[Supreme Being]]. Never again does it appear as a personality; its identity becomes as though it had never been. In the case of an [[Thought Adjuster|Adjuster]]-indwelt personality, the experiential [[spirit]] [[values]] [[survive]] in the reality of the continuing Adjuster.

2:3.5 In any universe contest between actual [[Paper 106 - Universe Levels of Reality|levels of reality]], the [[personality]] of the higher level will [[ultimately]] triumph over the personality of the lower level. This inevitable outcome of universe [[Debate|controversy]] is inherent in the [[fact]] that [[divinity]] of [[quality]] equals the degree of [[reality]] or actuality of any [[Free will|will creature]]. Undiluted [[evil]], complete error, willful [[sin]], and unmitigated iniquity are inherently and [[automatically]] [[suicidal]]. Such [[attitudes]] of cosmic unreality can survive in the [[universe]] only because of transient [[mercy]]-[[tolerance]] pending the [[action]] of the [[justice]]-determining and [[fairness]]-finding [[mechanisms]] of the universe tribunals of righteous [[adjudication]].
