107:0.2 The [[Adjusters]] are the [[actuality]] of [[the Father]]'s [[love]] [[incarnate]] in the [[souls]] of men; they are the veritable [[promise]] of man's [[eternal career]] imprisoned within the [[mortal]] [[mind]]; they are the [[essence]] of man's perfected [[finaliter]] [[personality]], which he can foretaste in [[time]] as he [[progressively]] masters the [[divine]] [[technique]] of achieving the [[living of the Father's will]], step by step, through the [[ascension]] of [[Grand Universe|universe upon universe]] until he [[actually]] [[attains]] the [[divine]] [[presence]] of his [[Paradise Father]].

107:0.4 Any [[mortal]] who has seen a [[Creator Son]] has seen the [[Universal Father]], and he who is indwelt by a [[divine]] [[Adjuster]] is indwelt by the [[Paradise Father]]. Every [[mortal]] who is [[consciously]] or unconsciously following the [[leading]] of his indwelling [[Adjuster]] is living in [[accordance]] with [[the will of God]]. [[Consciousness]] of [[Adjuster]] [[presence]] is [[consciousness]] of [[God]]'s presence. [[Eternal]] [[fusion]] of the [[Adjuster]] with the [[evolutionary]] [[soul]] of man is the [[factual]] [[experience]] of eternal [[union]] with [[God]] as a universe [[associate]] of [[Deity]].

107:0.5 It is the [[Adjuster]] who creates within man that unquenchable yearning and incessant longing to be like [[God]], to [[attain]] [[Paradise]], and there before the [[actual]] [[person]] of [[Deity]] to [[worship]] the [[infinite]] [[source]] of the [[divine]] [[gift]]. The [[Adjuster]] is the living [[presence]] which [[actually]] links the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:5._MORTALS_OF_TIME_AND_SPACE mortal son] with his [[Paradise Father]] and draws him nearer and nearer to the Father. The [[Adjuster]] is our [[compensatory]] [[equalization]] of the enormous [[universe]] [[tension]] which is created by the distance of man's removal from [[God]] and by the [[degree]] of his partiality in [[contrast]] with the [[universality]] of the [[eternal Father]].

107:0.6 The [[Adjuster]] is an [[absolute]] [[essence]] of an [[infinite]] [[being]] imprisoned within the [[mind]] of a [[finite]] [[creature]] which, depending on the [[choosing]] of such a [[mortal]], can [[eventually]] [[consummate]] this temporary [[union]] of [[God]] and [[man]] and veritably [[actualize]] a new order of [[being]] for unending universe [[service]]. The [[Adjuster]] is the [[divine]] [[universe]] [[reality]] which factualizes the [[truth]] that [[God]] is man's [[Father]]. The [[Adjuster]] is man's [[infallible]] [[cosmic]] [[compass]], always and unerringly pointing the [[soul]] Godward.

==107:1. ORIGIN OF THOUGHT ADJUSTERS==

107:1.2 Though there are [[diverse]] [[opinions]] regarding the [[mode]] of the [[bestowal]] of [[Thought Adjusters]], there exist no such [[differences]] concerning their [[origin]]; all are [[agreed]] that they [[proceed]] direct from the [[Universal Father]], the [[First Source and Center]]. They are not [[created]] [[beings]]; they are [[fragmentized]] [[entities]] [[constituting]] the [[factual]] [[presence]] of the [[infinite]] [[God]]. [[Together]] with their many unrevealed [[associates]], the [[Adjusters]] are undiluted and unmixed [[divinity]], unqualified and unattenuated [[parts]] of [[Deity]]; they are of [[God]], and as far as we are able to [[discern]], they are [[God]]

107:1.3 As to the [[time]] of their beginning separate [[existences]] apart from the [[absoluteness]] of the [[First Source and Center]], we do not know; neither do we know their [[number]]. We know very little concerning their [[careers]] until they arrive on the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 planets of time] to indwell [[human]] [[minds]], but from that time on we are more or less familiar with their [[cosmic]] [[progressions]] up to and including the [[consummation]] of their [[triune]] [[destinies]]: [[attainment]] of [[personality]] by [[fusion]] with some [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:5._MORTALS_OF_TIME_AND_SPACE mortal ascender], [[attainment]] of [[personality]] by [[fiat]] of the [[Universal Father]], or [[liberation]] from the known assignments of [[Thought Adjusters]].

107:1.4 Although we do not know, we [[presume]] that [[Adjusters]] are being constantly [[individualized]] as the [[universe]] enlarges, and as the [[candidates]] for [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Fusion#Adjuster_Fusion Adjuster fusion] increase in [[numbers]]. But it may be [[equally]] [[possible]] that we are in [[error]] in attempting to assign a numerical [[magnitude]] to the [[Adjusters]]; like [[God]] himself, these [[fragments]] of his unfathomable [[nature]] may be existentially [[infinite]].

107:1.5 The [[technique]] of the [[origin]] of the [[Thought Adjusters]] is one of the unrevealed [[functions]] of the [[Universal Father]]. We have every [[reason]] to believe that none of the other [[absolute]] [[associates]] of the [[First Source and Center]] have aught to do with the production of Father fragments. [[Adjusters]] are [[simply]] and eternally the [[divine]] [[gifts]]; they are of God and from God, and they are like [[God]].

107:1.7 As the [[Universal Father]] [[fragmentizes]] his prepersonal [[Deity]], so does the [[Infinite Spirit]] individuate portions of his premind spirit to indwell and [[actually]] to [[fuse]] with the evolutionary [[souls]] of the [[surviving]] [[mortals]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:9._SPIRIT-FUSED_MORTALS spirit-fusion series].

==107:2. CLASSIFICATION OF ADJUSTERS==

107:2.1 [[Adjusters]] are [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Individuation individuated] as [[virgin]] [[entities]], and all are [[destined]] to become either [[liberated]], [[fused]], or [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_109#109:7._DESTINY_OF_PERSONALIZED_ADJUSTERS Personalized Monitors]. We [[understand]] that there are [[seven]] orders of [[Thought Adjusters]], although we do not altogether [[comprehend]] these divisions. We often refer to the [[different]] orders as follows:

We [[understand]] that there are [[seven]] orders of [[Thought Adjusters]], although we do not altogether [[comprehend]] these divisions. We often refer to the [[different]] orders as follows:

*1. 107:2.2 ''Virgin Adjusters'', those serving on their initial assignment in the [[minds]] of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:6._THE_FAITH_SONS_OF_GOD evolutionary] [[candidates]] for [[eternal]] [[survival]]. [[Mystery Monitors]] are [[eternally]] [[uniform]] in [[divine]] [[nature]]. They are also [[uniform]] in [[experiential]] [[nature]] as they first go out from [[Divinington]]; subsequent experiential [[differentiation]] is the result of [[actual]] [[experience]] in [[universe]] [[ministry]].

*2. 107:2.3 ''Advanced Adjusters'', those who have served one or more [[seasons]] with [[Free will|will]] [[creatures]] on worlds where the final [[fusion]] takes place between the [[identity]] of the [[creature]] of time and an [[individualized]] portion of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:9._SPIRIT-FUSED_MORTALS spirit of the local universe] [[manifestation]] of the [[Third Source and Center]].

A [[supreme]] Adjuster, though no more [[divine]] than a [[virgin]] Monitor, has had more [[experience]], can do [[things]] in the human [[mind]] which a less experienced Adjuster could not do.

*4. 107:2.5 ''Vanished Adjusters''. Here occurs a break in our [[efforts]] to follow the [[careers]] of the [[Mystery Monitors]]. There is a fourth [[stage]] of [[service]] about which we are not sure. The [[Melchizedeks]] teach that the fourth-stage Adjusters are on detached assignments, roaming the [[universe of universes]]. The [[Solitary Messengers]] are inclined to believe that they are at one with the [[First Source and Center]], enjoying a period of refreshing [[association]] with [[the Father]] himself. And it is entirely possible that an [[Adjuster]] could be roaming the [[master universe]] [[simultaneously]] with being at [[one]] with the [[omnipresent]] [[Father]].

*5. 107:2.6 ''Liberated Adjusters'', those [[Mystery Monitors]] that have been eternally [[liberated]] from the [[service]] of [[time]] for the [[mortals]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 evolving spheres]. What [[functions]] may be theirs, we do not know.

While retaining all of the [[character]] of the [[existential]] [[divine]] [[nature]], a fused [[Adjuster]] becomes indissolubly linked with the [[ascending career]] of a [[surviving]] [[mortal]].

We have reasons for believing that such [[Adjusters]] are [[personalized]] on the recommendations of the [[Ancients of Days]] of the [[superuniverse]] of their assignment.

We have reasons for believing that such [[Adjusters]] are [[personalized]] on the recommendations of the [[Ancients of Days]] of the [[superuniverse]] of their assignment.

107:2.9 There are many ways in which these [[mysterious]] [[God]] [[fragments]] can be classified: according to [[universe]] assignment, by the [[measure]] of success in the indwelling of an [[individual]] [[mortal]], or even by the racial [[ancestry]] of the mortal [[candidate]] for [[fusion]].

107:3.1 All [[universe]] [[activities]] related to the dispatch, [[management]], direction, and return of the [[Mystery Monitors]] from [[service]] in all of the [[seven superuniverses]] seem to be [[centered]] on the [[sacred]] [[sphere]] of [[Divinington]]. As far as I know, none but [[Adjusters]] and other [[entities]] of [[the Father]] have been on that [[sphere]]. It seems likely that numerous unrevealed prepersonal [[entities]] [[share]] [[Divinington]] as a [[home]] [[sphere]] with the [[Adjusters]]. We conjecture that these fellow [[entities]] may in some [[manner]] be [[associated]] with the present and [[future]] [[ministry]] of the [[Mystery Monitors]]. But we really do not know.

We conjecture that these fellow [[entities]] may in some [[manner]] be [[associated]] with the present and [[future]] [[ministry]] of the [[Mystery Monitors]]. But we really do not know.

==107:4. NATURE AND PRESENCE OF ADJUSTERS==

107:4.1 To say that a Thought Adjuster is divine is merely to recognize the nature of origin. It is highly probable that such purity of divinity embraces the essence of the potential of all attributes of Deity which can be contained within such a fragment of the absolute essence of the universal presence of the eternal and infinite Paradise Father.

107:4.2 The actual source of the Adjuster must be infinite, and before fusion with the immortal soul of an evolving mortal, the reality of the Adjuster must border on absoluteness. Adjusters are not absolutes in the universal sense, in the Deity sense, but they are probably true absolutes within the potentialities of their fragmented nature. They are qualified as to universality but not as to nature; in extensiveness they are limited, but in intensiveness of meaning, value, and fact they are absolute. For this reason we sometimes denominate the divine gifts as the qualified absolute fragments of the Father.

For this [[reason]] we sometimes denominate the [[divine]] [[gifts]] as the qualified [[absolute]] [[fragments]] of [[the Father]].

107:4.3 No Adjuster has ever been disloyal to the Paradise Father; the lower orders of personal creatures may sometimes have to contend with disloyal fellows, but never the Adjusters; they are supreme and infallible in their supernal sphere of creature ministry and universe function.

107:4.4 Nonpersonalized Adjusters are visible only to Personalized Adjusters. My order, the Solitary Messengers, together with Inspired Trinity Spirits, can detect the presence of Adjusters by means of spiritual reactive phenomena; and even seraphim can sometimes discern the spirit luminosity of supposed association with the presence of Monitors in the material minds of men; but none of us are able actually to discern the real presence of Adjusters, not unless they have been personalized, albeit their natures are perceivable in union with the fused personalities of the ascending mortals from the evolutionary worlds. The universal invisibility of the Adjusters is strongly suggestive of their high and exclusive divine origin and nature.

The [[universal]] [[invisibility]] of the [[Adjusters]] is strongly suggestive of their high and exclusive [[divine]] [[origin]] and [[nature]].

107:4.5 There is a characteristic light, a spirit luminosity, which accompanies this divine presence, and which has become generally associated with Thought Adjusters. In the universe of Nebadon this Paradise luminosity is widespreadly known as the " pilot light "; on Uversa it is called the " light of life. " On Urantia this phenomenon has sometimes been referred to as that " true light which lights every man who comes into the world. "

107:4.6 To all beings who have attained the Universal Father, the Personalized Thought Adjusters are visible. Adjusters of all stages, together with all other beings, entities, spirits, personalities, and spirit manifestations, are always discernible by those Supreme Creator Personalities who originate in the Paradise Deities, and who preside over the major governments of the grand universe.

107:4.7 Can you really realize the true significance of the Adjuster's indwelling? Do you really fathom what it means to have an absolute fragment of the absolute and infinite Deity, the Universal Father, indwelling and fusing with your finite mortal natures? When mortal man fuses with an actual fragment of the existential Cause of the total cosmos, no limit can ever be placed upon the destiny of such an unprecedented and unimaginable partnership. In eternity, man will be discovering not only the infinity of the objective Deity but also the unending potentiality of the subjective fragment of this same God. Always will the Adjuster be revealing to the mortal personality the wonder of God, and never can this supernal revelation come to an end, for the Adjuster is of God and as God to mortal man.

==107:5. ADJUSTER MINDEDNESS==

==107:5. ADJUSTER MINDEDNESS==

107:5.1 Evolutionary mortals are prone to look upon mind as a cosmic mediation between spirit and matter, for that is indeed the principal ministry of mind as discernible by you. Hence it is quite difficult for humans to perceive that Thought Adjusters have minds, for Adjusters are fragmentations of God on an absolute level of reality which is not only prepersonal but also prior to all energy and spirit divergence. On a monistic level antecedent to energy and spirit differentiation there could be no mediating function of mind, for there are no divergencies to be mediated.

On a [[monistic]] level antecedent to [[energy]] and [[spirit]] [[differentiation]] there could be no mediating [[function]] of [[mind]], for there are no divergencies to be mediated.

107:5.2 Since Adjusters can plan, work, and love, they must have powers of selfhood which are commensurate with mind. They are possessed of unlimited ability to communicate with each other, that is, all forms of Monitors above the first or virgin groups. As to the nature and purport of their intercommunications, we can reveal very little, for we do not know. And we further know that they must be minded in some manner else they could never be personalized.

107:5.4 The type of mind postulated in an Adjuster must be similar to the mind endowment of numerous other orders of prepersonal entities which presumably likewise originate in the First Source and Center. Though many of these orders have not been revealed on Urantia, they all disclose minded qualities. It is also possible for these individuations of original Deity to become unified with numerous evolving types of nonmortal beings and even with a limited number of nonevolutionary beings who have developed capacity for fusion with such Deity fragments.

107:5.5 When a Thought Adjuster is fused with the evolving immortal morontia soul of the surviving human, the mind of the Adjuster can only be identified as persisting apart from the creature's mind until the ascending mortal attains spirit levels of universe progression.

107:5.6 Upon the attainment of the finaliter levels of ascendant experience, these spirits of the sixth stage appear to transmute some mind factor representing a union of certain phases of the mortal and Adjuster minds which had previously functioned as liaison between the divine and human phases of such ascending personalities. This experiential mind quality probably " supremacizes " and subsequently augments the experiential endowment of evolutionary Deity—the Supreme Being.

==107:6. ADJUSTERS AS PURE SPIRITS==

107:6.1 As Thought Adjusters are encountered in creature experience, they disclose the presence and leading of a spirit influence. The Adjuster is indeed a spirit, pure spirit, but spirit plus. We have never been able satisfactorily to classify Mystery Monitors; all that can certainly be said of them is that they are truly Godlike.

We have never been able satisfactorily to [[classify]] [[Mystery Monitor]]s; all that can [[certainly]] be said of them is that they are truly Godlike.

107:6.2 The Adjuster is man's eternity possibility; man is the Adjuster's personality possibility. Your individual Adjusters work to spiritize you in the hope of eternalizing your temporal identity. The Adjusters are saturated with the beautiful and self-bestowing love of the Father of spirits. They truly and divinely love you; they are the prisoners of spirit hope confined within the minds of men. They long for the divinity attainment of your mortal minds that their loneliness may end, that they may be delivered with you from the limitations of material investiture and the habiliments of time.

107:6.3 Your path to Paradise is the path of spirit attainment, and the Adjuster nature will faithfully unfold the revelation of the spiritual nature of the Universal Father. Beyond the Paradise ascent and in the postfinaliter stages of the eternity career, the Adjuster may possibly contact with the onetime human partner in other than spirit ministry; but the Paradise ascent and the finaliter career are the partnership between the God-knowing spiritualizing mortal and the spiritual ministry of the God-revealing Adjuster.

107:6.4 We know that Thought Adjusters are spirits, pure spirits, presumably absolute spirits. But the Adjuster must also be something more than exclusive spirit reality. In addition to conjectured mindedness, factors of pure energy are also present. If you will remember that God is the source of pure energy and of pure spirit, it will not be so difficult to perceive that his fragments would be both. It is a fact that the Adjusters traverse space over the instantaneous and universal gravity circuits of the Paradise Isle.

107:6.5 That the Mystery Monitors are thus associated with the material circuits of the universe of universes is indeed puzzling. But it remains a fact that they flash throughout the entire grand universe over the material-gravity circuits. It is entirely possible that they may even penetrate the outer space levels; they certainly could follow the gravity presence of Paradise into these regions, and though my order of personality can traverse the mind circuits of the Conjoint Actor also beyond the confines of the grand universe, we have never been sure of detecting the presence of Adjusters in the uncharted regions of outer space.

107:6.6 And yet, while the Adjusters utilize the material-gravity circuits, they are not subject thereto as is material creation. The Adjusters are fragments of the ancestor of gravity, not the consequentials of gravity; they have segmentized on a universe level of existence which is hypothetically antecedent to gravity appearance.

107:6.7 Thought Adjusters have no relaxation from the time of their bestowal until the day of their release to start for Divinington upon the natural death of their mortal subjects. And those whose subjects do not pass through the portals of natural death do not even experience this temporary respite. Thought Adjusters do not require energy intake; they are energy, energy of the highest and most divine order.

Thought Adjusters are not true personalities; they are true realities, realities of the purest order known in the universe of universes—they are the divine presence. Though not personal, these marvelous fragments of the Father are commonly referred to as beings and sometimes, in view of the spiritual phases of their present ministry to mortals, as spirit entities.

107:7.2 If Thought Adjusters are not personalities having prerogatives of will and powers of choice, how then can they select mortal subjects and volunteer to indwell these creatures of the evolutionary worlds? This is a question easy to ask, but probably no being in the universe of universes has ever found the exact answer. Even my order of personality, the Solitary Messengers, does not fully understand the endowment of will, choice, and love in entities that are not personal.

Even my order of [[personality]], the [[Solitary Messengers]], does not fully [[understand]] the [[endowment]] of will, [[choice]], and [[love]] in [[entities]] that are [[Impersonal|not personal]].

107:7.3 We have often speculated that Thought Adjusters must have volition on all prepersonal levels of choice. They volunteer to indwell human beings, they lay plans for man's eternal career, they adapt, modify, and substitute in accordance with circumstances, and these activities connote genuine volition. They have affection for mortals, they function in universe crises, they are always waiting to act decisively in accordance with human choice, and all these are highly volitional reactions. In all situations not concerned with the domain of the human will, they unquestionably exhibit conduct which betokens the exercise of powers in every sense the equivalent of will, maximated decision.

107:7.4 Why then, if Thought Adjusters possess volition, are they subservient to the mortal will? We believe it is because Adjuster volition, though absolute in nature, is prepersonal in manifestation. Human will functions on the personality level of universe reality, and throughout the cosmos the impersonal—the nonpersonal, the subpersonal, and the prepersonal—is ever responsive to the will and acts of existent personality.

We [[believe]] it is because [[Adjuster]] volition, though [[absolute]] in [[nature]], is prepersonal in [[manifestation]]. Human will functions on the [[personality]] level of [[universe]] [[reality]], and throughout the [[cosmos]] the [[impersonal]]—the nonpersonal, the subpersonal, and the prepersonal—is ever [[responsive]] to the will and [[acts]] of existent [[personality]].

107:7.5 Throughout a universe of created beings and nonpersonal energies we do not observe will, volition, choice, and love manifested apart from personality. Except in the Adjusters and other similar entities we do not witness these attributes of personality functioning in association with impersonal realities. It would not be correct to designate an Adjuster as subpersonal, neither would it be proper to allude to such an entity as superpersonal, but it would be entirely permissible to term such a being prepersonal.

107:7.6 To our orders of being these fragments of Deity are known as the divine gifts. We recognize that the Adjusters are divine in origin, and that they constitute the probable proof and demonstration of a reservation by the Universal Father of the possibility of direct and unlimited communication with any and all material creatures throughout his virtually infinite realms, and all of this quite apart from his presence in the personalities of his Paradise Sons or through his indirect ministrations in the personalities of the Infinite Spirit.
