Augmenting personalization. A Creative Spirit enters the fifth stage of development following the completion of the seven creature bestowals of the associated Creator Son. (204,4) This is the occasion when the Universe Son issues the "Proclamation of Equality" to the local universe, proclaiming that the Spirit is his equal "in all endowments of personality." (369,1) It is then that the Creative Spirit "becomes so augmented in personal qualities" that she is recognized as a person by all personal beings. (375,5) This development is also designated as "the attainment of personal status." (375,6) The Papers say nothing concerning the source of this augmentation of personal qualities, only that it takes place.

Presumably this augmentation of personal qualities continues in the sixth stage of the career of a Creative Spirit - when her local universe is entirely settled in light and life. (204,5) The Papers are silent concerning the details of this stage of growth.
