What is meant by the phrase the learner is an embodied spirit?
All the progeny of God the Father are intelligences endowed with a spirit body that serves as a means of enabling the intelligence to progress in the acquisition of knowledge, intelligence and experience while living in the direct presence of our Heavenly Father. The spirit family of man as well as the family of man in the flesh are so constructed that obedience to the Law of Eternal Progression (elaborated above) while not effortless is a natural part of our existence. This spirit body is composed of a material so refined that the spirit body is an eternal body and incorruptible. It was necessary to acquire this body so that the intelligence that possessed it could exist in the presence of The Father and His Beloved Son and make progress in that sphere. There came a point in our life there that each of us could not progress further unless we took upon us a body of flesh and blood and came to Earth to experience mortality with all its joy, love, challenges, disappointments, etc. That is, life in the mortal sphere tests us against adversity in a way that cannot be accomplished in any other way. Thus, an embodied spirit is an intelligence that possesses both a spirit body and a mortal body of flesh and blood. Because the mortal body is made of the "dust of the earth", it is corruptible, I.e., sooner or later it will be no longer able to sustain life and it will, "crumble to its Mother Earth (Physical Death) and return to the dust as it decays, while the spirit goes back to God the Father and Jesus Christ where a partial judgment is rendered and that spirit, if righteous is sent to paradise and if not to Spirit prison to continue to make choices and progress. Thus a disembodied spirit is an intelligence which possesses a spirit body with no mortal body and therefore because of a of lack of a mortal body it cannot access anything in the physical world. Because of this, lacking a physical body results in the disembodied spirit having far fewer choices available compared to the embodied spirit. It is also much easier to repent of your sins when you are in possession of the physical body. However, both types of beings are capable of learning in the respective spheres in which they exist. The followers of Satan (one-third of Heavenly Father's spirit children) were cast out of heaven down to earth without mortal bodies; therefore they are all disembodied spirits. They will never have the opportunity to possess mortal bodies and their reward for not following God's Plan of Happiness from the beginning is that they will have no claim at all on salvation to any degree and therefore will be cast into Outer Darkness in the end. At present they exist all around us to tempt us and to try us which is part of the purpose of mortality, that is, to see if we will keep God's commandments while living away from His direct presence.
