111:3.3 This [[immortal]] [[soul]] is at first wholly [[morontia]] in [[nature]], but it [[possesses]] such a [[capacity]] for [[development]] that it invariably [[ascends]] to the true [[spirit]] [[levels]] of [[fusion]] [[value]] with the spirits of [[Deity]], usually with the same [[Thought Adjuster|spirit]] of the [[Universal Father]] that [[initiated]] such a [[creative]] [[phenomenon]] in the creature mind.

111:3.4 Both the human mind and the divine Adjuster are conscious of the presence and differential nature of the evolving soul—the Adjuster fully, the mind partially. The soul becomes increasingly conscious of both the mind and the Adjuster as associated identities, proportional to its own evolutionary growth. The soul partakes of the qualities of both the human mind and the divine spirit but persistently evolves toward augmentation of spirit control and divine dominance through the fostering of a mind function whose meanings seek to co-ordinate with true spirit value.

111:3.5 The mortal career, the soul's evolution, is not so much a probation as an education. Faith in the survival of supreme values is the core of religion; genuine religious experience consists in the union of supreme values and cosmic meanings as a realization of universal reality.

111:3.6 Mind knows quantity, reality, meanings. But quality—values—is felt. That which feels is the mutual creation of mind, which knows, and the associated spirit, which reality-izes.

111:3.6 [[Mind]] knows [[quantity]], [[reality]], [[meanings]]. But [[quality]]—[[values]]—is felt. That which [[feels]] is the [[mutual]] [[creation]] of [[mind]], which knows, and the [[associated]] [[spirit]], which [[reality]]-izes.

111:3.7 In so far as man's evolving morontia soul becomes permeated by truth, beauty, and goodness as the value-realization of God-consciousness, such a resultant being becomes indestructible. If there is no survival of eternal values in the evolving soul of man, then mortal existence is without meaning, and life itself is a tragic illusion. But it is forever true: What you begin in time you will assuredly finish in eternity—if it is worth finishing.
