Relation of Adjusters to Universe Creatures
5. Material Handicaps to Adjuster Indwelling
1Supreme and self-acting Adjusters are often able to contribute factors of spiritual import to the human mind when it flows freely in the liberated but controlled channels of creative imagination. At such times, and sometimes during sleep, the Adjuster is able to arrest the mental currents, to stay the flow, and then to divert the idea procession; and all this is done in order to effect deep spiritual transformations in the higher recesses of the superconsciousness. Thus are the forces and energies of mind more fully adjusted to the key of the contactual tones of the spiritual level of the present and the future.
- imagination › Adjusters’ work in the creative
- mortal mind › superconscious mind › Adjuster’s work in the superconscious mind › effect deep spiritual transformations in higher recesses
- sleep › Adjusters sometimes effect spiritual transformations during
- Thought Adjusters › mission and function of Thought Adjusters › during sleep, sometimes arrest mental currents; effect deep spiritual transformations
2It is sometimes possible to have the mind illuminated, to hear the divine voice that continually speaks within you, so that you may become partially conscious of the wisdom, truth, goodness, and beauty of the potential personality constantly indwelling you.
- leadings › Adjuster leadings › man may hear Adjuster’s direct voice in supreme decision
- revelation › personal revelation › Adjuster’s direct voice may be heard in supreme decision
- Thought Adjusters › mortal communication with Adjusters › Adjusters constantly communicate with human subjects
- Thought Adjusters › mortal communication with Adjusters › in supreme decision, mortals may hear direct voice of
- Thought Adjusters › mortal communication with Adjusters › sometimes possible to hear divine voice within
3But your unsteady and rapidly shifting mental attitudes often result in thwarting the plans and interrupting the work of the Adjusters. Their work is not only interfered with by the innate natures of the mortal races, but this ministry is also greatly retarded by your own preconceived opinions, settled ideas, and long-standing prejudices. Because of these handicaps, many times only their unfinished creations emerge into consciousness, and confusion of concept is inevitable. Therefore, in scrutinizing mental situations, safety lies only in the prompt recognition of each and every thought and experience for just what it actually and fundamentally is, disregarding entirely what it might have been.
- leadings › recognize thoughts for what they are; disregard what they might have been
- prejudice › prejudice inhibits › Adjusters’ work
- thought › recognize t. for what it is; disregard what it might have been
- Thought Adjusters › mortal communication with Adjusters › in supreme decision, mortals may hear direct voice of
4The great problem of life is the adjustment of the ancestral tendencies of living to the demands of the spiritual urges initiated by the divine presence of the Mystery Monitor. While in the universe and superuniverse careers no man can serve two masters, in the life you now live on Urantia every man must perforce serve two masters. He must become adept in the art of a continuous human temporal compromise while he yields spiritual allegiance to but one master; and this is why so many falter and fail, grow weary and succumb to the stress of the evolutionary struggle.
5While the hereditary legacy of cerebral endowment and that of electrochemical overcontrol both operate to delimit the sphere of efficient Adjuster activity, no hereditary handicap (in normal minds) ever prevents eventual spiritual achievement. Heredity may interfere with the rate of personality conquest, but it does not prevent eventual consummation of the ascendant adventure. If you will co-operate with your Adjuster, the divine gift will, sooner or later, evolve the immortal morontia soul and, subsequent to fusion therewith, will present the new creature to the sovereign Master Son of the local universe and eventually to the Father of Adjusters on Paradise.
