112:3.1 [[Urantia]]ns generally [[recognize]] only one kind of [[death]], the [[physical]] cessation of life [[energies]]; but concerning [[personality]] [[survival]] there are really [[three]] kinds:
*1. 112:3.2 ''Spiritual ([[soul]]) death''. If and when [[mortal]] man has finally rejected [[survival]], when he has been pronounced [[spiritually]] insolvent, [[morontia]]lly [[bankrupt]], in the conjoint [[opinion]] of the Adjuster and the surviving [[seraphim]], when such [[co-ordinate]] advice has been [[record]]ed on [[Uversa]], and after the [[Universal Censors|Censors]] and their [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_28#28:5._THE_SECONDARY_SECONAPHIM reflective associates] have verified these findings, thereupon do the [[Ancients of Days|rulers]] of [[Orvonton]] order the immediate release of the [[Thought Adjuster|indwelling Monitor]]. But this release of the Adjuster in no way affects the [[duties]] of the personal or group [[seraphim]] concerned with that [[Adjuster]]-abandoned [[individual]]. This kind of [[death]] is final in its significance irrespective of the temporary continuation of the living [[energies]] of the [[physical]] and [[mind]] [[mechanisms]]. From the [[cosmic]] [[standpoint]] the [[mortal]] is already dead; the continuing life merely indicates the [[persistence]] of the [[material]] [[momentum]] of cosmic energies.
*2. 112:3.3 ''Intellectual ([[mind]]) death''. When the [[vital]] [[circuits]] of higher [[Adjutant Mind Spirits|adjutant ministry]] are disrupted through the aberrations of [[intellect]] or because of the partial destruction of the [[mechanism]] of the [[brain]], and if these conditions pass a certain critical point of irreparability, the indwelling [[Adjuster]] is immediately released to depart for [[Divinington]]. On the [[universe]] [[records]] a [[mortal]] [[personality]] is considered to have met with [[death]] whenever the [[essential]] [[mind]] [[circuits]] of human [[Free will|will]]-[[action]] have been destroyed. And again, this is [[death]], irrespective of the continuing [[function]] of the living [[mechanism]] of the physical [[body]]. The body minus the [[volitional]] [[mind]] is no longer [[human]], but according to the prior [[choosing]] of the human will, the [[soul]] of such an [[individual]] may [[survive]].
*3. 112:3.4 ''Physical ([[body]] and mind) death''. When [[death]] overtakes a [[human being]], the [[Adjuster]] remains in the [[citadel]] of the [[mind]] until it ceases to [[function]] as an [[intelligent]] [[mechanism]], about the time that the measurable [[brain]] energies cease their [[rhythmic]] vital [[pulsations]]. Following this dissolution the [[Adjuster]] takes leave of the vanishing [[mind]], just as unceremoniously as entry was made years before, and proceeds to [[Divinington]] by way of [[Uversa]].
112:3.5 After [[death]] the [[material]] [[body]] returns to the elemental world from which it was derived, but two nonmaterial [[factors]] of surviving [[personality]] [[persist]]: The pre-existent [[Thought Adjuster]], with the [[memory]] [[transcription]] of the [[mortal]] [[career]], proceeds to [[Divinington]]; and there also remains, in the [[custody]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_113#113:2._THE_DESTINY_GUARDIANS destiny guardian], the [[immortal]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_111#111:3._THE_EVOLVING_SOUL morontia soul] of the deceased [[human]]. These [[phases]] and [[forms]] of [[soul]], these once [[kinetic]] but now [[static]] [[formulas]] of [[identity]], are [[essential]] to [[repersonalization]] on the [[morontia worlds]]; and it is the reunion of the [[Adjuster]] and the [[soul]] that reassembles the [[surviving]] [[personality]], that reconsciousizes you at the [[time]] of the [[morontia]] [[awakening]].
112:3.6 For those who do not have [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_113#113:2._THE_DESTINY_GUARDIANS personal seraphic guardians], the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_113#113:1._THE_GUARDIAN_ANGELS group custodians] [[faithfully]] and [[efficiently]] [[perform]] the same [[service]] of [[identity]] safekeeping and [[personality]] [[resurrection]]. The [[seraphim]] are indispensable to the reassembly of [[personality]].
112:3.7 Upon [[death]] the [[Thought Adjuster]] temporarily loses [[personality]], but not [[identity]]; the human subject temporarily loses [[identity]], but not [[personality]]; on the [[mansion worlds]] both reunite in [[eternal]] [[manifestation]]. Never does a departed [[Thought Adjuster]] return to [[earth]] as the [[being]] of former indwelling; never is [[personality]] manifested without the human [[Free will|will]]; and never does a dis-Adjustered human being after [[death]] [[manifest]] active [[identity]] or in any [[manner]] [[establish]] [[communication]] with the living [[beings]] of [[earth]]. Such dis-Adjustered [[souls]] are wholly and absolutely [[unconscious]] during the long or short [[sleep]] of [[death]]. There can be no [[exhibition]] of any sort of [[personality]] or [[ability]] to [[engage]] in [[communications]] with other [[personalities]] until after completion of [[survival]]. Those who go to the [[mansion worlds]] are not permitted to send [[messages]] back to their loved ones. It is the [[policy]] throughout the [[universes]] to forbid such [[communication]] during the period of a current [[dispensation]].
