QUESTION: What are some of the things The Urantia Book says about Soul?

DISCUSSION
The mortal career, the soul’s evolution, is not so much a probation as an education. Faith in the survival of supreme values is the core of religion; genuine religious experience consists in the union of supreme values and cosmic meanings as a realization of universal reality. - The Urantia Book: page 1219:4 or paper 111:3:5

Mind knows quantity, reality, meanings. But quality– values—is felt. That which feels is the mutual creation of mind, which knows, and the associated spirit, which reality-izes. - The Urantia Book: page 1219: 5 or paper 111:3:6

The mistakes of mortal mind and the errors of human conduct may markedly delay the evolution of the soul, although they cannot inhibit such a morontia phenomenon when once it has been initiated by the indwelling Adjuster with the consent of the creature will. But at any time prior to mortal death this same material and human will is empowered to rescind such a choice and to reject survival. Even after survival the ascending mortal still retains this prerogative. - The Urantia Book: page 1218:9 or paper 111:3:1

In so far as man’s evolving morontia soul becomes permeated by truth, beauty, and goodness as the value-realization of God-consciousness, such a resultant being becomes indestructible. If there is no survival of eternal values in the evolving soul of man, then mortal existence is without meaning, and life itself is a tragic illusion. But it is forever true: What you begin in time you will assuredly finish in eternity—if it is worth finishing. - The Urantia Book: page 1219:6 or paper 111:3:7
