From Urantia Wiki, the encyclopedia of The Urantia Book

Those who reject the eternal journey are moving counter to the stream of universe events. 117:4.11
When nonsurvivors reject the ascendant life and choose against the Havona adventure, death results in their probationary careers ending, leaving them as if they had never been. 47:2.7
The Supreme's divinity expression is delayed by the choices of nonsurvivors in the grand universe. (117:4.2,11-13)

The final divergence of personality from the trend of the universe leads to intellectual isolation and spiritual cessation, highlighting the misadaptation of self-conscious life and the existence of a purposeful universe guided by a divine Creator. 130:4.8
Guardian angels respond to the dispensational roll call for sleeping survivors, while Adjusters make no answer for nonsurvivors who have ceased to exist. 49:6.7 113:6.8
As nonsurvivors, can you allow yourself to pass into the realm of the unrealized when before you lies the enchanting vista of the universe career? 117:4.13
The personalities of nonsurvivors are absorbed into the Supreme, never to appear again as an individual creature. 2:3.4 16:9.3 (117:4.2,4)
