The process of ascension

• in the local universe
• The mortal mind initiates its career as a material mechanism and is eventually mustered into the Corps of the Finality as a well-nigh perfected spirit existence, becoming progressively less subject to material gravity and more responsive to spirit gravity. 7:3.2
• as we ascend inward in the scale of life, will we retain the ability to recognize and fraternize with the fellow beings of our previous and lower levels of experience. 44:0.18-19
• At each new translation or resurrection we add one more group of spiritual beings to our vision range, which is made possible by the Adjusters. 44:0.18-19
• As ascendant mortals we are in possession of personal memories of all former and lower existences. 47:4.4-5 48:4.20

• The mother influence dominates the human personality throughout the local universe childhood of the growing soul. 117:6.5

• in the superuniverse
• as the ascending mortal passes beyond the borders of his local universe he is not deprived of the Spirit of Truth 117:5.9
