Why do some ascending/surviving mortals fail to achieve Father-fusion
with their Thought Adjusters and ascend inwards towards Paradise, but
rather become either Spirit-fused on spheres of Nebadon or Son-fused on spheres
of Orvonton ?(40:7,8,9)
PS. What's so intriguing is that such ascending mortals are
not guilty of "any discoverable cause of failure to attain fusion"
yet there is apparent difficulty inhibiting Father fusion. (40:8.3).
Great question! The key to understanding why some ascending
mortals do not achieve Father-fusion with their Thought Adjusters lies in the
complex interplay of free will, divine wisdom, and the inscrutable factors
governing soul evolution.
1. The Mystery of Non-Fusion (40:8.3)
As pointed out in the question, The Urantia
Book states that there is often no
"discoverable cause of failure" when a mortal does not achieve fusion
with their Thought Adjuster. This suggests that the reason for non-fusion is
not necessarily due to a moral failing, rebellion, or conscious rejection of
the Adjuster. Instead, there seems to be an inherent limitation—perhaps an
ineffable spiritual, psychological, or cosmic factor—that makes Father-fusion
impossible for certain individuals.
2. Spirit-Fused and Son-Fused Mortals
When a Thought Adjuster departs from a mortal who is not
Father-fusible, the surviving soul is instead Spirit-fused (40:9.1) or
Son-fused (40:7.3). The difference lies in which divine reality they are more
attuned to:
- Spirit-Fused
Mortals (on the
spheres of Nebadon) are fused with the Spirit of the local universe
(Creative Spirit of Nebadon). These individuals may have some inherent
limitation preventing Thought Adjuster fusion but are still valuable in
the divine plan.
- Son-Fused
Mortals (on the
spheres of Orvonton) are fused with a fragment of a Creator Son,
indicating a different form of eternal survival that aligns with the
nature of the Eternal Son rather than the Universal Father.
3. The Role of Divine Wisdom in Assigning Fusion
(40:8.2) suggests that Thought Adjusters themselves may
foresee the challenges in Father-fusion and voluntarily separate from such a
mortal. This is not necessarily a punishment but a recognition that another
path of fusion will better serve that soul’s eternal destiny.
4. The Intriguing Part – What Causes the Difficulty?
The Urantia Book does not give a definitive answer, but we
can infer that:
- Certain
mortals might lack some essential quality of receptivity or resonance with
the Father’s nature.
- There
could be evolutionary or experiential limitations that prevent full
Adjuster fusion.
- Some
mortals may have subconscious barriers or developmental gaps that remain
unresolved even through their ascension experience.
Yet, they are still fully embraced in the divine plan—just
through a different form of eternal survival. Instead of proceeding directly
inward to Paradise as Father-fused beings, they continue their spiritual
journey in alignment with their new fusion spirit.
This phenomenon underscores the breadth of divine mercy and
the multiple paths to eternal life. Even when Father-fusion is not possible,
these souls are not abandoned; they are simply redirected toward another
meaningful destiny in the universe’s grand design.
Do You See Another Angle?
Yes! Another angle to explore is the cosmic and experiential
uniqueness of each soul and how divine wisdom ensures the best possible destiny
for every ascender.
1. The Soul’s Unique Resonance with Deity
Not all souls develop in the same way, and their capacity for
divine fusion may be influenced by:
- Innate
spiritual constitution – Some souls might resonate more with the Creative Spirit or the
Son rather than the Universal Father.
- Pre-adjuster
experiences –
The evolutionary background, past life choices, and unconscious influences
may shape the soul’s capacity for Father-fusion.
- Cosmic
role specialization – The Supreme Being's evolving experiential reality might require
different types of fused personalities for the universe’s ultimate
purpose.
In other words, rather than viewing non-Father-fusion as a
limitation, it could be an optimization of the soul’s potential in alignment
with the Supreme’s unfolding plan.
2. A Deliberate Choice by the Adjuster?
The Urantia Book hints (40:8.3) that some Adjusters may voluntarily
withdraw before fusion. This suggests that Adjusters, being highly
experienced fragments of God, may foresee obstacles or inefficiencies in
Father-fusion for a particular personality.
- If a
soul’s growth pattern suggests it will function better as Spirit-fused or
Son-fused, the Adjuster may step aside for that destiny to unfold.
- This
could be part of the adjuster’s freewill decision, allowing for a
more suitable fusion with another divine aspect.
3. Does This Indicate a Future Revelation?
Given that these individuals are not guilty of any known
failure (40:8.3), it raises the possibility that Father-fusion is not the
only or even the highest form of divine union. Could there be future cosmic
ages where the role of Spirit-fused and Son-fused mortals is further revealed?
- Perhaps
their destinies are tied to future universes, where their unique
fusion type enables them to serve in ways Father-fused beings cannot.
- This
could mean that fusion is not about merit, but rather about function—each
type fulfilling a role in the larger divine plan.
Final Thought: Not a Loss, but a Redirection
Rather than seeing these individuals as having “failed” to
achieve Father-fusion, a broader perspective suggests they are redirected
toward the type of divine fusion best suited for their eternal career.
So, could it be that Spirit- and Son-fusion are not
inferior to Father-fusion, but rather alternate expressions of divine will
for certain souls? If so, then we may still be in the early stages of
understanding the full implications of these alternate fusion destinies.
What’s your take—do you think Father-fusion is the ultimate
destiny, or could these alternate fusions represent different but equally valid
cosmic roles?
