LESSON 2: Father's Gift to Man — His Spirit Fragment

It all begins with the gift of personality

Personality is difficult to define — but it always seeks unification. Personality is recognized as functioning on diverse levels:

1. Physical level — the physique.
2. Intellectual level — the mind.
3. Emotional level — temperament.
4. Social level — ethical disposition.
5. Moral level — the character.

Personalities may be similar, but they are never the same. Persons of a given series, type, order, or pattern may and do resemble one another, but they are never identical. Personality is that feature of an individual which we know, and which enables us to identify such a being at some future time regardless of the nature and extent of changes in form, mind, or spirit status. Personality is that part of any individual which enables us to recognize and positively identify that person as the one we have previously known, no matter how much he/she may have changed.

Personality is distinguished by two self-manifesting and characteristic phenomena of behavior: self-consciousness and associated relative free will.

Self-consciousness consists in intellectual awareness of personality; it includes the ability to recognize the reality of other personalities. It indicates capacity for individualized and shared experience. Self-consciousness recognizes the functioning of mind and the relative independence of creative and determinative free will.

The relative free will which characterizes the self-consciousness of human personality is involved in:

1. Moral decision, highest wisdom.
2. Spiritual choice, truth discernment.
3. Unselfish love, brotherhood service.
4. Purposeful co-operation, group loyalty.
5. Cosmic insight, the grasp of universe meanings.
6. Personality dedication, wholehearted devotion to doing the Father’s will.
7. Worship, the sincere pursuit of divine values and the wholehearted love of the divine Value-Giver.

Personality is difficult to define — but it always seeks unification. Personality is recognized as functioning on diverse levels:

1. Physical level — the physique.
2. Intellectual level — the mind.
3. Emotional level — temperament.
4. Social level — ethical disposition.
5. Moral level — the character.

Father's downreach to man via His Thought Adjusters

Discuss the 7 psychic circles. 
TAs guide us through the 7 circles (inward)
Spirit of Truth guide us through the 4 levels of growth (outward)

As discussed in The Soul in Man LESSON 1, Father's next gift to man is a fragment of Himself in the form of a divine and perfect Thought Adjuster (TA), which arrives when the first moral decision is made.

A person's biological sex is of no consideration in the assignment of a Thought Adjuster. Both males and females are equal recipients of TAs.
