In your material body, your are experiencing your first life on your planet of nativity, Urantia (Earth). Here you formulate choices (consciously or unconsciously) with or away from God that will determine continuation of your life after physical death. The divine Mystery Monitor, a fragment of God, your Thought Adjuster, dwells within you. Consciously or unconsciously you are choosing with or away from God. The indwelling God is working with you to lead you Godward. God has attributes like love, understanding, truth, beauty, goodness, compassion, mercy, power, service, progress, etc. If you choose to co-operate with God, one way or another, consciously or unconsciously, or if you are still even capable of recognizing God, your life continues after your physical death.

Every time you make choices in cooperation with God, you are creating your soul. Your soul is real, but not either spiritual or material. It is “morontial,” between the material and spiritual.

“Morontia is a term designating a vast level intervening between the material and the spiritual. It may designate personal or impersonal realities, living or nonliving energies. The warp of morontia is spiritual; its woof is physical.” 9§2

Your soul and personality are the “you” that survives physical death. You are reborn in morontia form on one of the “mansion worlds,” which are some of the architectural (directly created, not evolutionary) headquarters worlds of our local system, Satania.

“...the real and conscious reassembly of actual and complete personality takes place in the resurrection halls of mansonia [mansion world] number one. Throughout all eternity you will recall the profound memory impressions of your first witnessing of these resurrection mornings.

From the resurrection halls you proceed to the Melchizedek sector, where you are assigned permanent residence. Then you enter upon ten days of personal liberty. You are free to explore the immediate vicinity of your new home and to familiarize yourself with the program which lies immediately ahead. You also have time to gratify your desire to consult the registry and call upon your loved ones and other earth friends who may have preceded you to these worlds. At the end of your ten-day period of leisure you begin the second step in the Paradise journey, for the mansion worlds are actual training spheres, not merely detention planets.” 533§3

“On mansion world number one (or another in case of advanced status) you will resume your intellectual training and spiritual development at the exact level whereon they were interrupted by death. Between the time of planetary death or translation and resurrection on the mansion world, mortal man gains absolutely nothing aside from experiencing the fact of survival. You begin over there right where you leave off down here.

Almost the entire experience of mansion world number one pertains to deficiency ministry. Survivors arriving on this first of the detention spheres present so many and such varied defects of creature character and deficiencies of mortal experience that the major activities of the realm are occupied with the correction and cure of these manifold legacies of the life in the flesh on the material evolutionary worlds of time and space.” 533§5

It is possible to choose away from God. And I imagine this means choosing things like hate, deceit, egotism, ugliness, pride, resentment, bigotry, badness, disservice and disloyalty to others, and rejection of the leadings of God within.

You choose, you are not coerced. You are fairly adjudicated by high-order superuniverse beings called Ancients of Days.

The personalities of those who have chosen to reject God, to the point where they are judged to have no survival value, are undone; they are made as if they never were. Certain attributes of them become part of God the Supreme, which is an evolutionary attribute of God. God is not vindictive; those who choose away are not punished eternally.

Those who have survival value progress and ascend upward and inward through the universe of universes, to eventually “sit at the right hand of the Father,” before going back out to do service in the universes, as an order of beings called finaliters.

“As to the chances of mortal survival, let it be made forever clear: All souls of every possible phase of mortal existence will survive provided they manifest willingness to co-operate with their indwelling Adjusters and exhibit a desire to find God and to attain divine perfection, even though these desires be but the first faint flickers of the primitive comprehension of that "true light which lights every man who comes into the world." 447§4

“If ever there is doubt as to the advisability of advancing a human identity to the mansion worlds, the universe governments invariably rule in the personal interests of that individual; they unhesitatingly advance such a soul to the status of a transitional being, while they continue their observations of the emerging morontia intent and spiritual purpose. Thus divine justice is certain of achievement, and divine mercy is accorded further opportunity for extending its ministry.” 1233§3

“Mortal man may draw near God and may repeatedly forsake the divine will so long as the power of choice remains. Man's final doom is not sealed until he has lost the power to choose the Father's will. There is never a closure of the Father's heart to the need and the petition of his children. Only do his offspring close their hearts forever to the Father's drawing power when they finally and forever lose the desire to do his divine will―to know him and to be like him.” 64§2

“Of all the dangers which beset man's mortal nature and jeopardize his spiritual integrity, pride is the greatest. Courage is valorous, but egotism is vainglorious and suicidal. Reasonable self-confidence is not to be deplored. Man's ability to transcend himself is the one thing which distinguishes him from the animal kingdom.

Pride is deceitful, intoxicating, and sin-breeding whether found in an individual, a group, a race, or a nation. It is literally true, “Pride goes before a fall.” 1223§1

“Salvation should be taken for granted by those who believe in the fatherhood of God. The believer's chief concern should not be the selfish desire for personal salvation but rather the unselfish urge to love and, therefore, serve one's fellows even as Jesus loved and served mortal men.” 2017§4
