Each of us has a unique personality. While we all share similar personality features; each one of us is recognizable by our differences in personality. Where did you get your unique personality? The Urantia Book says that God bestows personality upon human beings. God knew you before you were born. This God-bestowed personality is made up of material, mental and spiritual energy and is diverse, original and exclusive to the individual. Personality manifests through the material, mental and spiritual energy of the individual; this manifestation is not automatic, but comes about as a result of our becoming self-aware of our own and others unique personality, and develops through human experience. Our personality gives us the opportunity to individually and uniquely experience every event in our lives.
Awareness of our relative independence, creativity and free will is the beginning of becoming self-conscious. Becoming self-conscious allows us to tap into universal wisdom, it affects our morality and our ability to discern truth, it encourages loving service to others, worshipful dedication, and sincere love for the personality-Creator, God.
The human personality functions within a physical organism; so all human experience is subjective except for that experience which acknowledges the reality of God, recognizes the logical order of the universe, and recognizes the obligation of moral conduct and loving service to other personalities.
