And, could it be following activation as the “specifics orderly sequence” is the cue for God to lay down personnality (quote not found)?
And I don’t think you will find a quote that tells us exactly when personality is bestowed. There are many implications and hints, but nothing definitive that I can find. If you do find it, please share it.
Not even in the case of Andon and Fonta are we told when they got their personalities, just that they had personality. But we know they didn’t have a human mind until all seven adjutants arrived. Also, Jesus said this:
133:7.6 My son, I have already told you much about the mind of man and the divine spirit that lives therein, but now let me emphasize that self-consciousness is a reality. When any animal becomes self-conscious, it becomes a primitive man. Such an attainment results from a co-ordination of function between impersonal energy and spirit-conceiving mind, and it is this phenomenon which warrants the bestowal of an absolute focal point for the human personality, the spirit of the Father in heaven.
I glean from this quote that to be considered a human being, or a “man”, there must be self-consciousness. Elsewhere we’re told that humans have self-consciousness because they have personality. According to the quote self-consciousness (personality) happens because of the coordination of both body and spirit-conceiving mind. What shall we call the spirit-conceiving mind? Is it the soul or is it the adjutants of worship and wisdom which provide the mechanism for spirit conception, or spiritual insight into the soul? Does personality arrive when the spirit of worship begins to function? I think it has to be before that time because the archangels register personalities from birth. So it doesn’t all add up. Do babies have a primitive spirit of worship functioning from birth? Maybe they do.
Going on . . . Jesus does say specifically that a spirit-conceiving mind warrants the bestowal of an Adjuster. The Adjuster is not the cause of the spirit-conceiving mind, but it is the phenomenon which justifies its arrival. So, I think he’s describing the seventh psychic circle there, yet TUB tells us a child enters the seventh psychic circle after making a moral personality choice, which means personality is present before entering that circle and before the soul is born. I think I’ve pretty much settled my mind on that fact even though it’s all so confusing.
Another interesting quote:
133:6.5 “The soul is the self-reflective, truth-discerning, and spirit-perceiving part of man which forever elevates the human being above the level of the animal world. Self-consciousness, in and of itself, is not the soul. Moral self-consciousness is true human self-realization and constitutes the foundation of the human soul, and the soul is that part of man which represents the potential survival value of human experience. Moral choice and spiritual attainment, the ability to know God and the urge to be like him, are the characteristics of the soul. The soul of man cannot exist apart from moral thinking and spiritual activity. A stagnant soul is a dying soul. But the soul of man is distinct from the divine spirit which dwells within the mind. The divine spirit arrives simultaneously with the first moral activity of the human mind, and that is the occasion of the birth of the soul.
Here it says moral self-consciousness is the foundation of the soul. Self-consciousness only accompanies personality. Morality is an adjutant phenomenon. So, it is the personality working with the adjutants that give birth to the soul, and on our world, during our current planetary epoch, moral choice brings both the soul (Holy Spirit supermind) and the Adjuster simultaneously. It does say that self-consciousness, or personality, is not the soul, but it is the foundation for making the choices that lead to the birth of the soul.
Here again, in this next quote it tells us that the Adjusters volunteer after they review the personality forecasts. I take that to mean that personality is already present prior to engaging the seventh mind-adjutant and the birth of the soul by way of the Creative Spirit (Holy Spirit).
108:2.1 Though the Adjusters volunteer for service as soon as the personality forecasts have been relayed to Divinington, they are not actually assigned until the human subjects make their first moral personality decision. The first moral choice of the human child is automatically indicated in the seventh mind-adjutant and registers instantly, by way of the local universe Creative Spirit, over the universal mind-gravity circuit of the Conjoint Actor in the presence of the Master Spirit of superuniverse jurisdiction, who forthwith dispatches this intelligence to Divinington. Adjusters reach their human subjects on Urantia, on the average, just prior to the sixth birthday. In the present generation it is running five years, ten months, and four days; that is, on the 2,134th day of terrestrial life.
And one more quote which explains that the soul is born after all seven adjutants function and wisdom signals its achievement to the Creative Spirit. We know from other quotes that this event results in that wonderful overlap in mind ministry provided by the Holy Spirit, and the mind thus prepared is ready for reception of the Adjuster. Which tells me personality precedes birth of the soul and the Adjuster comes instantly after the birth of the soul.
108:2.3 Thus is the stage of the human mind set for the reception of Adjusters, but as a general rule they do not immediately appear to indwell such minds except on those worlds where the Spirit of Truth is functioning as a spiritual co-ordinator of these different spirit ministries. If this spirit of the bestowal Sons is present, the Adjusters unfailingly come the instant the seventh adjutant mind-spirit begins to function and signalizes to the Universe Mother Spirit that it has achieved in potential the co-ordination of the associated six adjutants of prior ministry to such a mortal intellect. Therefore have the divine Adjusters been universally bestowed upon all normal minds of moral status on Urantia ever since the day of Pentecost.
