Death
Paper 112 – Personality Survival
112:3:1 (1229.8) Urantians generally recognize only one kind of Death, the physical cessation of life energies; but concerning personality survival there are really three kinds:
Paper 112 – Personality Survival
112:3:2 (1229.9) Spiritual (soul) death. … This kind of death is final in its significance irrespective of the temporary continuation of the living energies of the physical and mind mechanisms.
Paper 112 – Personality Survival
112:3:3 (1230.1) Intellectual (mind) death. … And again, this is death, irrespective of the continuing function of the living mechanism of the physical body.
Paper 112 – Personality Survival
112:3:4 (1230.2) Physical (body and mind) death. When death overtakes a human being, the Adjuster remains in the citadel of the mind until it ceases to function as an intelligent mechanism, about the time that the measurable brain energies cease their rhythmic vital pulsations.
Paper 112 – Personality Survival
112:3:5 (1230.3) After death the material body returns to the elemental world from which it was derived, but two nonmaterial factors of surviving personality persist: The pre-existent Thought Adjuster, with the memory transcription of the mortal career, proceeds to Divinington; and there also remains, in the custody of the destiny guardian, the immortal morontia soul of the deceased human.
Paper 112 – Personality Survival
112:3:7 (1230.5) Upon death the Thought Adjuster temporarily loses personality, but not identity; the human subject temporarily loses identity, but not personality; on the mansion worlds both reunite in eternal manifestation. … Such dis-Adjustered souls are wholly and absolutely unconscious during the long or short sleep of death.
Paper 112 – Personality Survival
112:4:1 (1231.1) When Death of a material, intellectual, or spiritual nature occurs, the Adjuster bids farewell to the mortal host and departs for Divinington.
Paper 112 – Personality Survival
112:4:3 (1231.3) Subsequent to physical death, except in individuals translated from among the living, the released Adjuster goes immediately to the home sphere of Divinington.
Paper 112 – Personality Survival
112:4:12 (1231.12) If, when death overtakes you, you have attained the third circle or a higher realm and therefore have had assigned to you a personal guardian of destiny, and if the final transcript of the summary of survival character submitted by the Adjuster is unconditionally certified by the destiny guardian—if both seraphim and Adjuster essentially agree in every item of their life records and recommendations—if the Universal Censors and their reflective associates on Uversa confirm this data and do so without equivocation or reservation, in that event the Ancients of Days flash forth the mandate of advanced standing over the communication circuits to Salvington, and, thus released, the tribunals of the Sovereign of Nebadon will decree the immediate passage of the surviving soul to the resurrection halls of the mansion worlds.
Paper 112 – Personality Survival
112:5:12 (1234.1) There is something real, something of human evolution, something additional to the Mystery Monitor, which survives death. This newly appearing entity is the soul, and it survives the death of both your physical body and your material mind.
Paper 112 – Personality Survival
112:5:13 (1234.2) This child of persisting meaning and surviving value is wholly unconscious during the period from death to repersonalization and is in the keeping of the seraphic destiny guardian throughout this season of waiting. You will not function as a conscious being, following death, until you attain the new consciousness of morontia on the mansion worlds of Satania.
Paper 112 – Personality Survival
112:5:14 (1234.3) At death the functional identity associated with the human personality is disrupted through the cessation of vital motion.
Paper 112 – Personality Survival
112:5:15 (1234.4) As to the exact whereabouts of mortal personality during the time intervening between death and survival, we do not know.
Paper 112 – Personality Survival
112:5:20 (1235.2) Selfhood persists in spite of a continuous change in all the factor components of self; in the physical life the change is gradual; at death and upon repersonalization the change is sudden. The true reality of all selfhood (personality) is able to function responsively to universe conditions by virtue of the unceasing changing of its constituent parts; stagnation terminates in inevitable death.
Paper 112 – Personality Survival
112:6:7 (1236.5) Mortal mind, prior to death, is self-consciously independent of the Adjuster presence; adjutant mind needs only the associated material-energy pattern to enable it to operate.
Paper 112 – Personality Survival
112:7:3 (1237.5) It may occur on the planet of nativity as a transcendence of natural death; it may take place on any one of the mansion worlds or on the headquarters of the system; it may even be delayed until the time of the constellation sojourn; or, in special instances, it may not be consummated until the ascender is on the local universe capital.
Paper 113 – Seraphic Guardians of Destiny
113:1:6 (1242.1) You start out in your mind of mortal investment in the seventh circle and journey inward in the task of self-understanding, self-conquest, and self-mastery; and circle by circle you advance until (if natural death does not terminate your career and transfer your struggles to the mansion worlds) you reach the first or inner circle of relative contact and communion with the indwelling Adjuster.
Paper 113 – Seraphic Guardians of Destiny
113:3:4 (1244.5) And herein is revealed the reason why the seraphic guardian eventually becomes the personal custodian of the mind patterns, memory formulas, and soul realities of the mortal survivor during that interval between physical death and morontia resurrection.
117:5:7 (1286.5) Upon mortal death the human self is everlastingly divorced from the adjutant circuit.
Paper 121 – The Times of Michael’s Bestowal
121:4:4 (1336.2) They preached simplicity and virtue and urged men to meet death fearlessly.
