The chief [[difficulty]] you [[experience]] in contacting with your [[Adjusters]] consists in this very [[inherent]] [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_42#10._UNIVERSAL_NONSPIRITUAL_ENERGY_SYSTEMS_.28MATERIAL_MIND_SYSTEMS.29 material nature]. So few [[mortals]] are real [[thinkers]]; you do not [[spiritually]] [[develop]] and [[discipline]] your [[minds]] to the point of favorable [[liaison]] with the divine [[Adjusters]]. The ear of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_111#111:1._THE_MIND_ARENA_OF_CHOICE human mind] is almost deaf to the [[spiritual]] pleas which the [[Adjuster]] [[translates]] from the manifold [[messages]] of the [[Reflectivity|universal broadcasts]] of [[love]] proceeding from [[the Father]] of [[mercies]]. The [[Adjuster]] finds it almost impossible to register these [[inspiring]] [[spirit]] [[leadings]] in an [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_101#101:6._PROGRESSIVE_RELIGIOUS_EXPERIENCE animal mind] so completely [[dominated]] by the [[chemical]] and [[electrical]] [[forces]] [[inherent]] in your [[physical]] [[natures]].

110:7.7 [[Adjusters]] rejoice to make [[contact]] with the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_111#111:1._THE_MIND_ARENA_OF_CHOICE mortal mind]; but they must be [[patient]] through the long years of [[silent]] [[sojourn]] during which they are unable to break through [[animal]] [[resistance]] and directly [[communicate]] with you. The higher the [[Thought Adjusters]] [[ascend]] in the [[scale]] of [[service]], the more [[efficient]] they become. But never can they greet you, in the [[flesh]], with the same full, [[sympathetic]], and expressionful [[affection]] as they will when you [[discern]] them mind to mind on the [[mansion worlds]].
