The persistence of [[memory]] is proof of the retention of the [[identity]] of original [[selfhood]]; it is essential to complete self-consciousness of personality continuity and expansion. Those mortals who ascend without Adjusters are dependent on the instruction of seraphic associates for the reconstruction of human memory; otherwise the morontia souls of the Spirit-fused mortals are not limited. The pattern of memory persists in the soul, but this pattern requires the presence of the former Adjuster to become immediately self-realizable as continuing memory. Without the Adjuster, it requires considerable [[time]] for the mortal survivor to re-explore and relearn, to recapture, the memory [[consciousness]] of the meanings and values of a former existence. | The persistence of [[memory]] is proof of the retention of the [[identity]] of original [[selfhood]]; it is essential to complete self-consciousness of personality continuity and expansion.
