42:12.2 [[Mind]] is always [[creative]]. The [[mind]] [[endowment]] of an [[individual]] [[animal]], [[mortal]], [[morontia]]n, [[spirit]] [[ascender]], or [[finality]] attainer is always competent to produce a suitable and serviceable [[body]] for the living [[creature]] [[identity]]. But the [[presence]] [[phenomenon]] of a [[personality]] or the [[pattern]] of an [[identity]], as such, is not a [[manifestation]] of [[energy]], either [[physical]], [[mindal]], or [[spiritual]]. The [[personality]] [[form]] is the [[pattern]] aspect of a living [[being]]; it connotes the arrangement of [[energies]], and this, plus life and [[motion]], is the [[mechanism]] of [[creature]] [[existence]].

42:12.3 Even [[spirit]] [[beings]] have [[form]], and these [[spirit]] [[forms]] ([[patterns]]) are real. Even the highest [[type]] of [[spirit]] [[personalities]] have [[forms]]—[[personality]] [[presences]] in every sense [[analogous]] to [[Urantia]] [[mortal]] [[bodies]]. Nearly all [[beings]] encountered in the [[seven superuniverses]] are [[possessed]] of [[forms]]. But there are a few exceptions to this general rule: [[Thought Adjusters]] appear to be without [[form]] until after [[fusion]] with the [[surviving]] [[souls]] of their [[mortal]] [[associates]]. [[Solitary Messengers]], [[Inspired Trinity Spirits]], [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_24#24:3._PERSONAL_AIDS_OF_THE_INFINITE_SPIRIT Personal Aids of the Infinite Spirit], [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_31#31:2._GRAVITY_MESSENGERS Gravity Messengers], [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_23#23:3._TIME_AND_SPACE_SERVICES_OF_SOLITARY_MESSENGERS Transcendental Recorders], and certain others are also without [[discoverable]] [[form]]. But these are typical of the [[exception]]al few; the great [[majority]] have[[ bona fide]] [[personality]] forms, forms which are [[individually]] characteristic, and which are [[recognizable]] and [[personally]] distinguishable.

42:12.4 The [[liaison]] of the [[cosmic mind]] and the [[ministry]] of the [[adjutant mind-spirits]] [[evolve]] a suitable [[physical]] tabernacle for the [[evolving]] [[human being]]. Likewise does the [[morontia mind]] [[individualize]] the [[morontia]] [[form]] for all [[mortal]] [[survivors]]. As the mortal [[body]] is [[personal]] and characteristic for every [[human being]], so will the [[morontia]] [[form]] be highly [[individual]] and adequately characteristic of the [[creative]] [[mind]] which [[dominates]] it. No [[two]] [[morontia]] [[forms]] are any more alike than any two [[human]] [[bodies]].

And after the [[morontia]] life it will be found that [[spirit]] [[forms]] are [[equally]] [[diverse]], [[personal]], and characteristic of their respective [[spirit]]-[[mind]] indwellers.

42:12.5 On a [[material]] world you [[think]] of a [[body]] as having a [[spirit]], but we regard the [[spirit]] as having a [[body]]. The [[material]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye eyes] are truly the windows of the [[spirit]]-born [[soul]]. The [[spirit]] is the [[architect]], the [[mind]] is the builder, the [[body]] is the [[material]] building.

42:12.6 [[Physical]], [[spiritual]], and [[mindal]] [[energies]], as such and in their [[pure]] [[states]], do not fully [[interact]] as [[actuals]] of the [[phenomenal]] [[universes]]. On [[Paradise]] the [[three]] [[energies]] are [[co-ordinate]], in [[Havona]] co-ordinated, while in the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_106#PAPER_106:_UNIVERSE_LEVELS_OF_REALITY universe levels] of [[finite]] [[activities]] there must be encountered all ranges of [[material]], [[mindal]], and [[spiritual]] [[dominance]]. In [[nonpersonal]] situations of [[time and space]], [[physical]] [[energy]] seems to predominate, but it also [[appears]] that the more nearly [[spirit]]-[[mind]] [[function]] approaches [[divinity]] of [[purpose]] and [[supremacy]] of [[action]], the more nearly does the [[spirit]] [[phase]] become [[dominant]]; that on the [[ultimate]] level [[spirit]]-[[mind]] may become all but completely [[dominant]]. On the [[absolute]] level [[spirit]] [[certainly]] is [[dominant]]. And from there on out through the realms of [[time and space]], wherever a [[divine]] [[spirit]] [[reality]] is present, whenever a real [[spirit]]-[[mind]] is functioning, there always tends to be produced a [[material]] or [[physical]] [[counterpart]] of that [[spirit]] [[reality]].

42:12.7 The [[spirit]] is the [[creative]] [[reality]]; the [[physical]] [[counterpart]] is the [[time-space]] [[reflection]] of the [[spirit]] [[reality]], the [[physical]] [[Echo|repercussion]] of the [[creative]] [[action]] of [[spirit]]-[[mind]].
