112:0.1 The [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 evolutionary planets] are the [[spheres]] of [[human]] [[origin]], the initial worlds of the [[Ascension Career|ascending mortal career]]. [[Urantia]] is your starting point; here you and your [[divine]] [[Thought Adjuster]] are joined in temporary [[union]]. You have been [[endowed]] with a [[perfect]] guide; therefore, if you will [[sincerely]] run the race of [[time]] and gain the final goal of [[faith]], the reward of the ages shall be yours; you will be [[eternally]] united with your indwelling [[Adjuster]]. Then will begin your real life, the [[Ascension Career|ascending life]], to which your present [[mortal]] [[state]] is but the [[vestibule]]. Then will begin your exalted and [[progressive]] mission as [[finaliters]] in the [[eternity]] which stretches out before you. And throughout all of these [[successive]] [[ages]] and [[stages]] of [[evolutionary]] [[growth]], there is one part of you that remains [[absolutely]] unaltered, and that is [[personality]]—[[permanence]] in the [[presence]] of [[change]].
112:0.2 While it would be [[presumptuous]] to attempt the [[definition]] of [[personality]], it may prove helpful to recount some of the [[things]] which are known about [[personality]]:
*1. 112:0.3 [[Personality]] is that [[quality]] in [[reality]] which is [[bestowed]] by the [[Universal Father]] himself or by the [[Conjoint Actor]], [[acting]] for the Father.
*2. 112:0.4 It may be bestowed upon any living [[energy]] [[system]] which includes [[mind]] or [[spirit]].
*3. 112:0.5 It is not wholly subject to the fetters of antecedent [[causation]]. It is [[relatively]] [[creative]] or cocreative.
*4. 112:0.6 When bestowed upon [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:5._MORTALS_OF_TIME_AND_SPACE evolutionary material creatures], it causes [[spirit]] to strive for the mastery of [[energy]]-[[matter]] through the [[mediation]] of [[mind]].
*5. 112:0.7 [[Personality]], while devoid of [[identity]], can unify the identity of any living [[energy]] [[system]].
*6. 112:0.8 It discloses only [[qualitative]] [[response]] to the [[personality]] [[circuit]] in contradistinction to the [[three]] [[energies]] which show both [[qualitative]] and [[quantitative]] [[response]] to [[gravity]].
*7. 112:0.9 [[Personality]] is changeless in the [[presence]] of [[change]].
*8. 112:0.10 It can make a [[gift]] to [[God]]—[[dedication]] of the [[free will]] to the [[doing of the will of God]].
*9. 112:0.11 It is characterized by [[morality]]—[[awareness]] of [[relativity]] of [[relationship]] with other [[persons]]. It [[discerns]] [[conduct]] levels and choosingly [[discriminates]] between them.
*10. 112:0.12 [[Personality]] is [[unique]], [[absolutely]] [[unique]]: It is unique in [[time and space]]; it is [[unique]] in [[eternity]] and on [[Paradise]]; it is unique when bestowed—there are no duplicates; it is [[unique]] during every [[moment]] of [[existence]]; it is unique in [[relation]] to [[God]]—he is no respecter of persons, but neither does he add them [[together]], for they are nonaddable—they are [[associable]] but nontotalable.
*11. 112:0.13 [[Personality]] [[responds]] directly to [[other]]-[[personality]] [[presence]].
*12. 112:0.14 It is one [[thing]] which can be added to spirit, thus [[illustrating]] the primacy of [[the Father]] in relation to [[the Son]]. ([[Mind]] does not have to be added to [[spirit]].)
*13. 112:0.15 [[Personality]] may [[survive]] [[mortal]] [[death]] with [[identity]] in the surviving [[soul]]. The [[Adjuster]] and the [[personality]] are changeless; the [[relationship]] between them (in the [[soul]]) is nothing but [[change]], continuing [[evolution]]; and if this change ([[growth]]) ceased, the [[soul]] would cease.
*14. 112:0.16 [[Personality]] is uniquely [[conscious]] of [[time]], and this is something other than the time [[perception]] of [[mind]] or [[spirit]].
