I was reviewing some of the Universal Father papers this morning and ran across this paragraph (emphasis mine):
Quote:
5:6.6 (71.1) Capacity for divine personality is inherent in the prepersonal Adjuster; capacity for human personality is potential in the cosmic-mind endowment of the human being. But the experiential personality of mortal man is not observable as an active and functional reality until after the material life vehicle of the mortal creature has been touched by the liberating divinity of the Universal Father, being thus launched upon the seas of experience as a self-conscious and a (relatively) self-determinative and self-creative personality. The material self is truly and unqualifiedly personal.
They make these distinctions of personality:
1. Divine personality - the prepersonal Adjuster
2. Human personality - as operating in our life vessels
3. Experiential personality of mortal man.
Are #2 and #3 the same?
They also go on and seem to say that #3 is not observed as an "active and functional reality" until the bestowal of the Thought Adjuster? Or am I reading that wrong? What exactly is the "liberating divinity of the Universal Father"?
If they are talking about the bestowal of the Thought Adjuster, and #2 and #3 are the same thing, wouldn't that imply that "inactive or potential" human personality exists prior to Adjuster indwellment? I say this because we are told in the Foreward that reality is comprised of both potentials and actuals. And they are only talking about observing its function, not whether or not it exists..
This would support the idea that potential human personality is bestowed the moment that the potential for the life vehicle becomes manifest, no?
