| This is the [[reality]] of [[personality]]. Each one, being created [[unique]] by [[God]], though similar to others of its order, still has something which is theirs alone to [[share]] as best they can with each other and with their [[the Father|Father]]. Michael and I gladly, [[humbly]] acknowledge and [[respect]] this [[ultimate]] [[connection]] between the [[Creator]] and each of His [[children]], and the [[love]] you have for each other. | | This is the [[reality]] of [[personality]].

| This is your [[absolute]] reality, my [[children]]. This is the [[reality]] of who you are as you [[persist]] through [[time]]. All of [[creation]] is complete as it is [[moment]] by moment and within each moment because it is [[God]]’s [[creation]], yet this very completeness is capable of [[growth]]. Though that might seem to be some kind of [[science-fiction]] [[temporal]] [[paradox]], it is nevertheless the [[expression]] of both the [[potentiality]] and [[actuality]] of [[supreme]] [[reality]]. You too are complete in each [[moment]], but by God’s will there is something called [[universal]] [[time]] and [[change]], something of a [[universal]] [[development]] and [[evolution]] of which you are a part. As your [[personality]] is the unchanging [[persistence]] of you, this [[growth]] of yours is what we call your [[soul]]. It is the complete [[story]] of your life as co-[[authored]] and taken on by an [[Thought Adjuster|individual presence of God within you]]. The growing, evolving culmination of [[God]]’s [[awareness]] of every [[individual]] [[soul]] out here in [[space and time]] is what we call [[the Supreme Being]]. This is a [[facet]] of [[our Father]], of [[God]]. It is [[God]]’s [[experience]] of all the [[personal]] beings’ [[experience]] and it is [[growing]]--as time goes by as yet another aspect of His will. | | This is your [[absolute]] reality, my [[children]].

| As we said in our last few lessons, this [[soul]] [[reality]] of yours, my [[children]], is the fullness within your [[memories]]. The [[spiritual]] [[dimension]] of your [[personality]] makes [[reality]] for you, a [[co-creation]] along with the [[creation]] itself—your world. You—your [[personality]] real-alizes what is happening. Those of you who have known deep [[meditation]] and [[prayer]], or a kind of highly [[conscious]] [[reverie]]--not just day-dreaming but the [[opposite]]—a highly [[conscious]] [[appreciation]] of your life akin to [[worship]]--know there is no bottom or top or sides to your [[soul]]. Your own [[soul]] is a [[transcendent]] [[reality]] to your [[conscious]] awareness of it. It’s part of the [[light]] you will come to know more and more, this special [[reality]] we call [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_48 Morontia Reality], a combination of your [[personal]] [[experience]] as it is also [[being]] experienced and taken on by an [[Thought Adjuster|individualized presence of God]]. | | As we said in our last few lessons, this [[soul]] [[reality]] of yours, my [[children]], is the fullness within your [[memories]].
