==40:9. SPIRIT-FUSED MORTALS==  

40:9.1 [[Ascending]] Spirit-fused [[mortals]] are not [[Third Source]] [[personalities]]; they are included in [[the Father]]'s [[personality]] [[circuit]], but they have fused with [[Individual|individualizations]] of the premind [[spirit]] of the [[Third Source and Center]]. Such Spirit [[fusion]] never occurs during the span of [[natural]] life; it takes place only at the [[time]] of [[mortal]] re[[awakening]] in the [[morontia]] [[existence]] on the [[mansion worlds]]. In the [[fusion]] [[experience]] there is no overlapping; the will [[creature]] is either [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:9._SPIRIT-FUSED_MORTALS Spirit fused], [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:8._SON-FUSED_MORTALS Son fused], or [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:7._FATHER-FUSED_MORTALS Father fused]. Those who are [[Adjuster]] or Father fused are never Spirit or Son fused.

In the [[fusion]] [[experience]] there is no overlapping; the will [[creature]] is either ''Spirit fused'', [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:8._SON-FUSED_MORTALS Son fused], or [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:7._FATHER-FUSED_MORTALS Father fused]. Those who are [[Adjuster]] or Father fused are never Spirit or Son fused.

40:9.2 The [[fact]] that these [[types]] of [[mortal]] [[creatures]] are not [[Adjuster-fusion]] [[candidates]] does not prevent the [[Adjusters]] from indwelling them during the life in the [[flesh]]. Adjusters do [[work]] in the minds of such [[beings]] during the span of [[material]] life but never become everlastingly one with their [[pupil]] [[souls]]. During this [[temporary]] [[sojourn]] the [[Adjusters]] [[effectively]] build up the same [[spirit]] [[counterpart]] of mortal [[nature]]—the [[soul]]—that they do in the [[candidates]] for [[Adjuster fusion]]. Up to the [[time]] of mortal [[death]] the [[work]] of the [[Adjusters]] is wholly akin to their [[function]] in your own [[races]], but upon mortal dissolution the [[Adjusters]] take [[eternal]] leave of these [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:9._SPIRIT-FUSED_MORTALS Spirit-fusion] [[candidates]] and, proceeding directly to [[Divinington]], the [[headquarters]] of all divine Monitors, there await the new assignments of their order.

40:9.3 When such [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_30#30:4._THE_ASCENDING_MORTALS sleeping survivors] are [[repersonalized]] on the [[mansion worlds]], the place of the departed [[Adjuster]] is filled by an [[individualization]] of the spirit of the [[Divine Minister]], the [[representative]] of the [[Infinite Spirit]] in the [[local universe]] concerned. This [[spirit]] infusion [[constitutes]] these [[surviving]] [[creatures]] Spirit-fused [[mortals]]. Such [[beings]] are in every way your [[equals]] in [[mind]] and [[spirit]]; and they are indeed your contemporaries, [[sharing]] the [[Mansion Worlds|mansion]] and [[morontia]] [[spheres]] in common with your order of [[fusion]] [[candidates]] and with those who are to be [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:8._SON-FUSED_MORTALS Son fused].

40:9.4 There is, however, one particular in which [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:9._SPIRIT-FUSED_MORTALS Spirit-fused mortals] differ from their [[ascendant]] brethren: [[Mortal]] [[memory]] of [[human]] [[experience]] on the [[material worlds]] of [[origin]] survives [[death]] in the [[flesh]] because the indwelling [[Adjuster]] has acquired a [[spirit]] [[counterpart]], or [[transcript]], of those [[events]] of [[human]] life which were of [[spiritual]] [[significance]]. But with [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:9._SPIRIT-FUSED_MORTALS Spirit-fused mortals] there [[exists]] no such [[mechanism]] whereby [[human]] [[memory]] may [[persist]]. The [[Adjuster]] [[transcripts]] of [[memory]] are full and intact, but these acquisitions are [[experiential]] [[possessions]] of the departed [[Adjusters]] and are not available to the [[creatures]] of their former indwelling, who therefore [[awaken]] in the [[resurrection]] halls of the [[morontia]] [[spheres]] of [[Nebadon]] as if they were newly created beings, [[creatures]] without [[consciousness]] of former [[existence]].

40:9.5 Such children of the [[local universe]] are enabled to repossess themselves of much of their former [[human]] [[memory]] [[experience]] through having it retold by the [[associated]] [[seraphim]] and [[cherubim]] and by consulting the [[records]] of the [[mortal]] [[career]] filed by the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_25#25:5._THE_CUSTODIANS_OF_RECORDS_ON_PARADISE recording angels]. This they can do with undoubted [[assurance]] because the [[surviving]] [[soul]], of [[experiential]] [[origin]] in the [[material]] and [[mortal]] life, while having no [[memory]] of [[mortal]] [[events]], does have a residual [[experiential]]-[[recognition]]-[[response]] to these unremembered [[events]] of [[past]] [[experience]].

40:9.6 When a [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:9._SPIRIT-FUSED_MORTALS Spirit-fused mortal] is told about the [[events]] of the unremembered [[past]] [[experience]], there is an [[immediate]] [[response]] of [[experiential]] [[recognition]] within the [[soul]] ([[identity]]) of such a [[survivor]] which instantly invests the [[narrated]] [[event]] with the [[emotional]] tinge of [[reality]] and with the [[intellectual]] [[quality]] of [[fact]]; and this [[dual]] [[response]] [[constitutes]] the reconstruction, [[recognition]], and [[validation]] of an unremembered [[facet]] of [[mortal]] [[experience]].

40:9.6 When a ''Spirit-fused mortal'' is told about the [[events]] of the unremembered [[past]] [[experience]], there is an [[immediate]] [[response]] of [[experiential]] [[recognition]] within the [[soul]] ([[identity]]) of such a [[survivor]] which instantly invests the [[narrated]] [[event]] with the [[emotional]] tinge of [[reality]] and with the [[intellectual]] [[quality]] of [[fact]]; and this [[dual]] [[response]] [[constitutes]] the reconstruction, [[recognition]], and [[validation]] of an unremembered [[facet]] of [[mortal]] [[experience]].

40:9.7 Even with [[Adjuster-fusion]] [[candidates]], only those [[human]] [[experiences]] which were of [[spiritual]] [[value]] are common [[possessions]] of the [[surviving]] [[mortal]] and the returning [[Adjuster]] and hence are [[immediately]] remembered subsequent to [[mortal]] [[survival]]. Concerning those happenings which were not of [[spiritual]] significance, even these Adjuster-fusers must depend upon the [[attribute]] of [[recognition]]-[[response]] in the [[surviving]] [[soul]]. And since any one [[event]] may have a [[spiritual]] [[connotation]] to one [[mortal]] but not to another, it becomes [[possible]] for a [[group]] of contemporary ascenders from the same [[planet]] to pool their store of Adjuster-[[remembered]] [[events]] and thus to reconstruct any [[experience]] which they had in common, and which was of [[spiritual]] [[value]] in the life of any one of them.

40:9.8 While we understand such [[techniques]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autobiographical_memory memory reconstruction] fairly well, we do not grasp the [[technique]] of [[personality]] [[recognition]]. [[Personalities]] of onetime [[association]] [[mutually]] [[respond]] quite [[independently]] of the operation of [[memory]], albeit, memory itself and the [[techniques]] of its reconstruction are [[necessary]] to invest such [[mutual]] [[personality]] [[response]] with the fullness of [[recognition]].

40:9.9 A [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:9._SPIRIT-FUSED_MORTALS Spirit-fused survivor] is also able to [[learn]] much about the life he lived in the [[flesh]] by revisiting his [[nativity]] world subsequent to the [[planetary]] [[dispensation]] in which he lived. Such [[children]] of Spirit fusion are enabled to [[enjoy]] these [[opportunities]] for [[investigating]] their [[human]] [[careers]] since they are in general confined to the [[service]] of the [[local universe]]. They do not [[share]] your high and exalted [[destiny]] in the [[Paradise]] [[Corps of the Finality]]; only [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:7._FATHER-FUSED_MORTALS Adjuster-fused mortals] or other especially [[embraced]] [[ascendant]] [[beings]] are mustered into the ranks of those who await the [[eternal]] [[Deity]] [[adventure]].

In [[Nebadon]] their [[universe]] [[home]] is the eighth group of worlds encircling [[Salvington]], a [[destiny]]-[[heaven]] of [[nature]] and location much like the one [[envisioned]] by the [[planetary]] [[traditions]] of [[Urantia]].
