identity

0:5.4All subin­fi­nite or­ders and phases of per­son­al­ity are as­so­cia­tive at­tain­ables and are po­ten­tially co­cre­a­tional. The preper­sonal, the per­sonal, and the super­per­sonal are all linked to­gether by mu­tual po­ten­tial of co-or­di­nate at­tain­ment, pro­gres­sive achieve­ment, and co­cre­a­tional ca­pac­ity. But never does the im­per­sonal di­rectly trans­mute to the per­sonal. Per­son­al­ity is never spon­ta­neous; it is the gift of the Par­a­dise Fa­ther. Per­son­al­ity is super­im­posed upon en­ergy, and it is as­so­ci­ated only with liv­ing en­ergy sys­tems; iden­tity can be as­so­ci­ated with non­liv­ing en­ergy pat­terns.

27:1.4You en­ter the rest on the fi­nal Ha­vona cir­cuit and are eter­nally res­ur­rected on Par­a­dise. And as you there spir­i­tu­ally reper­son­al­ize, you will im­me­di­ately rec­og­nize the in­sti­ga­tor of rest who wel­comes you to the eter­nal shores as the very pri­mary super­na­phim who pro­duced the fi­nal sleep on the in­ner­most cir­cuit of Ha­vona; and you will re­call the last grand stretch of faith as you once again made ready to com­mend the keep­ing of your iden­tity into the hands of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther.

12:9.6Mor­tal man has a spirit nu­cleus. The mind is a per­sonal-en­ergy sys­tem ex­ist­ing around a di­vine spirit nu­cleus and func­tion­ing in a ma­te­rial en­vi­ron­ment. Such a liv­ing re­la­tion­ship of per­sonal mind and spirit con­sti­tutes the uni­verse po­ten­tial of eter­nal per­son­al­ity. Real trou­ble, last­ing dis­ap­point­ment, se­ri­ous de­feat, or in­es­cap­able death can come only af­ter self-con­cepts pre­sume fully to dis­place the gov­ern­ing power of the cen­tral spirit nu­cleus, thereby dis­rupt­ing the cos­mic scheme of per­son­al­ity iden­tity.

49:6.113. Mor­tals of the pro­ba­tion­ary-de­pen­dent or­ders of as­cen­sion. The ar­rival of an Ad­juster con­sti­tutes iden­tity in the eyes of the uni­verse, and all in­dwelt be­ings are on the roll calls of jus­tice. But tem­po­ral life on the evo­lu­tion­ary worlds is un­cer­tain, and many die in youth be­fore choos­ing the Par­a­dise ca­reer. Such Ad­juster-in­dwelt chil­dren and youths fol­low the par­ent of most ad­vanced spir­i­tual sta­tus, thus go­ing to the sys­tem fi­nal­i­ter world (the pro­ba­tion­ary nurs­ery) on the third day, at a spe­cial res­ur­rec­tion, or at the reg­u­lar mil­len­nial and dis­pen­sa­tional roll calls.

112:5.182. The re­turn of the Ad­juster to the wait­ing mor­ontia crea­ture. The Ad­juster is the eter­nal cus­to­dian of your as­cend­ing iden­tity; your Mon­i­tor is the ab­so­lute as­sur­ance that you your­self and not an­other will oc­cupy the mor­ontia form cre­ated for your per­son­al­ity awak­en­ing. And the Ad­juster will be pres­ent at your per­son­al­ity re­assem­bly to take up once more the role of Par­a­dise guide to your sur­viv­ing self.

112:5.3Mor­tal iden­tity is a tran­sient time-life con­di­tion in the uni­verse; it is real only in so far as the per­son­al­ity elects to be­come a con­tin­u­ing uni­verse phe­nom­e­non. This is the es­sen­tial dif­fer­ence be­tween man and an en­ergy sys­tem: The en­ergy sys­tem must con­tinue, it has no choice; but man has ev­ery­thing to do with de­ter­min­ing his own des­tiny. The Ad­juster is truly the path to Par­a­dise, but man him­self must pur­sue that path by his own de­cid­ing, his free­will choos­ing.

112:5.4Hu­man be­ings pos­sess iden­tity only in the ma­te­rial sense. Such qual­i­ties of the self are ex­pressed by the ma­te­rial mind as it func­tions in the en­ergy sys­tem of the in­tel­lect. When it is said that man has iden­tity, it is rec­og­nized that he is in pos­ses­sion of a mind cir­cuit which has been placed in sub­or­di­na­tion to the acts and choos­ing of the will of the hu­man per­son­al­ity. But this is a ma­te­rial and purely tem­po­rary man­i­fes­ta­tion, just as the hu­man em­bryo is a tran­sient par­a­sitic stage of hu­man life. Hu­man be­ings, from a cos­mic per­spec­tive, are born, live, and die in a rel­a­tive in­stant of time; they are not en­dur­ing. But mor­tal per­son­al­ity, through its own choos­ing, pos­sesses the power of trans­fer­ring its seat of iden­tity from the pass­ing ma­te­rial-in­tel­lect sys­tem to the higher mor­ontia-soul sys­tem which, in as­so­ci­a­tion with the Thought Ad­juster, is cre­ated as a new ve­hi­cle for per­son­al­ity man­i­fes­ta­tion.

12:8.16The brighter the shin­ing of the spir­i­tu­al­ized per­son­al­ity (the Fa­ther in the uni­verse, the frag­ment of po­ten­tial spirit per­son­al­ity in the in­di­vid­ual crea­ture), the greater the shadow cast by the in­ter­ven­ing mind upon its ma­te­rial in­vest­ment. In time, man’s body is just as real as mind or spirit, but in death, both mind (iden­tity) and spirit sur­vive while the body does not. A cos­mic re­al­ity can be nonex­is­tent in per­son­al­ity ex­pe­ri­ence. And so your Greek fig­ure of speech—the ma­te­rial as the shadow of the more real spirit sub­stance—does have a philo­sophic sig­nif­i­cance.

40:9.6When a Spirit-fused mor­tal is told about the events of the un­re­mem­bered past ex­pe­ri­ence, there is an im­me­di­ate re­sponse of ex­pe­ri­en­tial rec­og­ni­tion within the soul (iden­tity) of such a sur­vivor which in­stantly in­vests the nar­rated event with the emo­tional tinge of re­al­ity and with the in­tel­lec­tual qual­ity of fact; and this dual re­sponse con­sti­tutes the re­con­struc­tion, rec­og­ni­tion, and val­i­da­tion of an un­re­mem­bered facet of mor­tal ex­pe­ri­ence.

6:6.2Spirit is ever con­scious, minded, and pos­sessed of var­ied phases of iden­tity. With­out mind in some phase there would be no spir­i­tual con­scious­ness in the fra­ter­nity of spirit be­ings. The equiv­a­lent of mind, the abil­ity to know and be known, is in­dige­nous to De­ity. De­ity may be per­sonal, preper­sonal, super­per­sonal, or im­per­sonal, but De­ity is never mind­less, that is, never with­out the abil­ity at least to com­mu­ni­cate with sim­i­lar en­ti­ties, be­ings, or per­son­al­i­ties.

117:5.5Man does not unite with the Su­preme and sub­merge his per­sonal iden­tity, but the uni­verse reper­cus­sions of the ex­pe­ri­ence of all men do thus form a part of the di­vine ex­pe­ri­enc­ing of the Su­preme. “The act is ours, the con­se­quences God’s.”

• i. survives with survival of soul

16:9.3If mor­tal man fails to sur­vive nat­u­ral death, the real spir­i­tual val­ues of his hu­man ex­pe­ri­ence sur­vive as a part of the con­tin­u­ing ex­pe­ri­ence of the Thought Ad­juster. The per­son­al­ity val­ues of such a non­sur­vivor per­sist as a fac­tor in the per­son­al­ity of the ac­tu­al­iz­ing Su­preme Be­ing. Such per­sist­ing qual­i­ties of per­son­al­ity are de­prived of iden­tity but not of ex­pe­ri­en­tial val­ues ac­cu­mu­lated dur­ing the mor­tal life in the flesh. The sur­vival of iden­tity is de­pen­dent on the sur­vival of the im­mor­tal soul of mor­ontia sta­tus and in­creas­ingly di­vine value. Per­son­al­ity iden­tity sur­vives in and by the sur­vival of the soul.

• i. restored by guardian seraphim and Adjuster

49:6.5The group guard­i­ans of as­sign­ment to the sleep­ing sur­vivors al­ways func­tion with the judg­ment Sons on their world ad­vents. “He shall send his an­gels, and they shall gather to­gether his elect from the four winds.” With each ser­a­phim of as­sign­ment to the reper­son­al­iza­tion of a sleep­ing mor­tal there func­tions the re­turned Ad­juster, the same im­mor­tal Fa­ther frag­ment that lived in him dur­ing the days in the flesh, and thus is iden­tity re­stored and per­son­al­ity res­ur­rected. Dur­ing the sleep of their sub­jects these wait­ing Ad­justers serve on Di­vin­ing­ton; they never in­dwell an­other mor­tal mind in this in­terim.

112:5.193. When these pre­req­ui­sites of reper­son­al­iza­tion have been as­sem­bled, the se­raphic cus­to­dian of the po­ten­tial­i­ties of the slum­ber­ing im­mor­tal soul, with the as­sis­tance of nu­mer­ous cos­mic per­son­al­i­ties, be­stows this mor­ontia en­tity upon and in the await­ing mor­ontia mind-body form while com­mit­ting this evo­lu­tion­ary child of the Su­preme to eter­nal as­so­ci­a­tion with the wait­ing Ad­juster. And this com­pletes the reper­son­al­iza­tion, re­assem­bly of mem­ory, in­sight, and con­scious­ness—iden­tity.
