What, indeed, are these Pilot Lights, which indwell the children of time and space?

What, indeed, are these [[Thought Adjuster|Pilot Lights]], which indwell the children of [[time and space]]?

In a sense they are for all practical purposes God, Himself. While it is true that the Universal FATHER resides physically on the Isle of Paradise, He is also present on the worlds of time of space in the beings of His fragments, FATHER fragments, which we call the Mystery Monitors or Thought Adjusters. This is, in actuality, Deity. Their purpose is to downward reach to the children of time and space, to - indeed - the lowest creation of The FATHER, to guide them and lead them onward toward eventual attainment of the Universal FATHER, Himself. They indwell an imperfect, finite, and experiential being and lead them to infinite, absolute, and eternal state of being. The journey is long and full of spiritual adventure. The Thought Adjuster is directly and totally responsible for the impulse-drive of the children of time and space Godward. When the Spirit of Truth was bestowed upon Urantia, all mortals of normal mind received the Mystery Monitor. The reception of this monitor is dependent upon the first true moral will-choice of the children of time, and on average occurs during early childhood - approximately five years of age, although it varies from individual to individual. When this decision is made, it is immediately recorded and an Adjuster is dispatched instantaneously from Divinington. The Adjuster has already studied the personality, intellectual capacity, spiritual receptivity, and life projection plans before volunteering to indwell the mortal. These records are made manifest by the Seraphic Recorders and Reflectors. The Adjuster is chosen on the basis of the best ability to lead the child Godward.

In a sense they are for all [[practical]] [[purposes]] [[God]], Himself. While it is true that the [[Universal Father]] resides [[physically]] on the [[Isle of Paradise]], He is also present on the worlds of [[time and space]] in the [[beings]] of His [[fragments]], Father fragments, which we call the ''Mystery Monitors'' or [[Thought Adjusters]]. This is, in [[actuality]], [[Deity]]. Their [[purpose]] is to downward reach to the children of [[time and space]], to - indeed - the lowest creation of [[the Father]], to guide them and [[lead]] them onward toward [[eventual]] [[attainment]] of the [[Universal Father]], Himself. They indwell an imperfect, [[finite]], and [[experiential]] being and [[lead]] them to [[infinite]], [[absolute]], and eternal state of being.

What exactly are these fragments of The FATHER?

What exactly are these fragments of [[The Father]]?

They are classified, loosely, along these lines: Virgin Adjusters - whereupon it is their first assignment from the Universal FATHER to indwell a mortal being, for Virgin Adjusters are equal in terms of God-leading potential. Advanced Adjusters - indwell the mortals temporarily on worlds, but they will not fuse with these mortals, rather they will be eventually Spirit fused. Supreme Adjusters - are adjusters who have indwelt mortals who have rejected the eternal ascent career. They are different from Virgin Adjusters in that they have experience and can act in more ways on the minds of the human they are currently indwelling. Vanished Adjusters - are adjusters, which are detached from their mortals and are journeying through the Universe of Universes, and perhaps at the same time spending time on the Isle of Paradise in a period of rest. Liberated Adjusters - have been relieved of their obligation to guide and indwell mortals, and we know not what their assignments are. Fused Adjusters - have gloriously become entirely new beings, a combination of the Divine, Eternal, Absolute and the finite experiential child of time and space. Personalized Adjusters - have served with the incarnated Paradise Sons or have previously indwelt mortals whereupon they have rendered extraordinary service while residing on a planet of time and space, but the mortal has rejected survival. These are the thumbnail classifications of the Mystery Monitors.

What are their properties?

What are their [[properties]]?

The FATHER fragments have mind. Not the type of mind that you define as your minds, but we know they have mindal capacities because they are capable of love, work, and planning. They make decisions based on the life circumstances of the mortal. They are also spirit, pure spirit. They have a spiritual luminosity, which is discernable to orders of Seraphim and other celestial beings. They also are energy, as they traverse the gravity circuits from the Isle of Paradise even into the outer space regions. Do they have personality? No. They are pre-personal entity beings. Although they have volition in terms of the choice to volunteer to indwell, and the choice of the individual mortal which they indwell, and they are individualized fragments, they are pre-personal beings. Consider that the will of the personality creature of time and space is the most respected, or last word, even to the fragment of the Universal FATHER. Therefore when indwelling a being who has received the gift of personality from The FATHER, The FATHER Himself - and His fragment - respect the will of the personality creature. The Adjuster only makes will decisions on the pre-personal level, and then tries by many means to influence, uplift, and lead the child Godward, but never interferes with a decision of the personality will creature. Consider the frustration of the Divine fragment who is, in essence, imprisoned in the mortal mind, the loneliness of the Deity longing to perfect the creature of experience, the longing for perfection attainment and integration through fusion. The Adjusters truly are the most loyal and loving gift, which any child of time and space could ever receive. The Adjusters also interact to different degrees with a mortal of different life stages.

During the early years of indwelling they are Thought Changers. Middle of life they are Thought Adjusters. And once discretion and wisdom are attained by this creature, they are Thought Controllers. They are more prevalent in terms of the actions and decisions of the will creature. The Adjusters remain a mystery to most of the celestial beings, however, we envy the creature of the indwelling, because it is your personal assurance that you will one day become finaliters. It is God's love, and promise to you of your eternal perfected natures reached through your ascension experiences. It is the ultimate love of the Creator for even the smallest creature. It is God's way of maintaining intimate contact with every creation in the universe.

And it is God's way of obtaining personal experience of the ascension career of every creature. What a beautiful plan! How divine and perfect a gift to the often-bereft creatures of the flesh. Since this topic is so deep, we will proceed slowly, and I will end the formal instruction at this point with an assignment for you, my brothers and sisters. One is, consciousness of the Adjuster is - in reality - consciousness of God The FATHER. Please try to increase your consciousness of your own Divine nature. Prayer and meditation, quiet reflection on the miracle of your dual nature, is helpful. Spend time in receptivity, asking The FATHER to make His guidance clearer. Do not tax your physical electro-chemical housing because it is harder for the Adjuster to guide you. The goal of the Adjuster is to make clear to you The FATHER's will. Many of us do The FATHER's will albeit unconsciously. Your goal should be a more conscious awareness of the will of The FATHER who loves each of you, personally, enough to give the gift of the Divine to the imperfect. Prayer, receptivity, a healthy respect for your body, and a consciousness of your Divine potential are your goals this week, my brothers and sisters. Are there questions?

Q: Can you identify for us the individual classifications of our own Thought Adjusters?

Q: Can you identify for us the individual [[classifications]] of our own [[Thought Adjusters]]?

A: I cannot. 148

A: I cannot.  

Q: If you have a Thought Adjuster who has operated before, would he have operated on the same planet?

Q: If you have a Thought Adjuster who has operated before, would he have operated on the same [[planet]]?

A: Not necessarily, but perhaps, perhaps. It is not impossible.

A: Not necessarily, but perhaps, perhaps. It is not impossible.

Q: Are Thought Adjusters confined to spiritual ministries or are they also concerned with the physical life of the mortal, which they indwell?

Q: Are [[Thought Adjusters]] confined to [[spiritual]] ministries or are they also concerned with the [[physical]] life of the [[mortal]], which they indwell?

A: They are concerned with the physical well being of the mortal in that it impinges upon spiritual soul growth. For example, a mortal who clouds his or her mind, spiritual receptivity, with substances, or is in such illness that it impinges on soul growth, is of concern to the Divine fragment because it impedes the Mystery Monitor from leading the soul to ever increasing awareness of FATHER God-consciousness. There are many things, which could be improved to cut the static between the Adjuster and the mortal mind. Health is an area, which sometimes enhances communications.

Q: Are human beings able to communicate with their Thought Adjusters and if so, what are some guidelines along these lines. What are the topics about which they can communicate, etc.?

Q: Are [[human being]]s able to [[communicate]] with their [[Thought Adjusters]] and if so, what are some guidelines along these lines. What are the [[topics]] about which they can [[communicate]], etc.?

A: The Adjuster is fully aware of your thought prayer life and soul growth. However for a human to make this a two-way communication requires soul growth, experiential wisdom, and growth in terms of spiritual fruits, and the time spent in silent listening.

Q: If the mortal is earnestly seeking to do God's will and to accept the guidance of the Thought Adjuster, would it be accurate to assume the past experience of the Adjuster would not interfere with his ability to assist? In other words, could any Adjuster, even a Virgin Adjuster, equally assist a person earnestly seeking The FATHER's will?

In other words, could any Adjuster, even a ''Virgin Adjuster'', equally [[assist]] a person earnestly seeking [[the Father]]'s will?

A: That is correct. The assignment of the Adjuster is made by the Universal FATHER and the - while on Divinington - the individual Adjuster is chosen for the assigned mortal. Why some mortals receive more experienced Adjusters we know not. However, there is no Divine difference in Adjusters, only different levels of previous experiential indwellings, but it makes no difference in terms of the soul growth of the mortal indwelt.

Q: Are their fruits more if they have an experienced adjuster?

Q: Are their fruits more if they have an [[experienced]] [[adjuster]]?

A: The Adjuster one receives is tailored to the needs projected by the Seraphic Recorders and Reflectors of that individual mortal. You will not benefit more by having another class of Adjuster. The growth potential is purely up to the mortal receptivity. If the soil is rich the plants will grow.

A: The Adjuster one [[receives]] is tailored to the needs projected by the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=39:2 Seraphic Recorders and Reflectors (39:2.16)] of that [[individual]] mortal. You will not benefit more by having another class of Adjuster. The [[growth]] [[potential]] is purely up to the mortal [[receptivity]]. If the [[soil]] is rich the plants will [[grow]].

Q: Do the Thought Adjuster and the Spirit of Truth work together, and is there any degree of communication that might - on some level - soothe our Adjuster's loneliness.

Q: Do the [[Thought Adjuster]] and the [[Spirit of Truth]] work together, and is there any [[degree]] of [[communication]] that might - on some level - soothe our Adjuster's [[loneliness]].

A: I do not really understand if Adjusters communicate or not with the Spirit of Truth. The Spirit of Truth insures that every normal-minded being will receive an Adjuster. Adjusters do communicate with each other, but this remains a mystery to what they communicate or why.

Q: Do Adjusters, sometimes in a dream send spiritual messages?

Q: Do [[Adjusters]], sometimes in a [[dream]] send [[spiritual]] [[messages]]?

A: Sometimes. Adjusters do work on the mortal mind when asleep. But there is often a garble, and I would not recommend relying too heavily on such signs or omens. Use the slower tools of prayer and worship and silent listening to make steady progress in communication. There are sometimes enlightened revealed truths that are given to individual mortals, but these are not the norm.

Q: Because Virgin Adjusters have no personality, is every Virgin Adjuster identical?

Q: Because ''Virgin Adjusters'' have no [[personality]], is every Virgin Adjuster [[identical]]?

A: Yes. Except that they are individuated to meet the needs of the mortal host. They are prepersonal, alike in Divinity, but not in the plan for their subject.

A: Yes. Except that they are individuated to meet the needs of the [[mortal]] host. They are prepersonal, alike in [[divinity]], but not in the [[plan]] for their subject.

Q: Human literature, both religious and lay, as well as even scientific study, appears to show that when human beings go against what they know to be the truth in their lives, they punish themselves both by having guilt and by self-destructive behavior. Does this involve an action of the Thought Adjuster, or is that a purely human response?

Q: Human [[literature]], both religious and lay, as well as even [[scientific]] study, appears to show that when [[human being]]s go against what they know to be the [[truth]] in their lives, they punish themselves both by having [[guilt]] and by self-destructive [[behavior]]. Does this involve an action of the [[Thought Adjuster]], or is that a purely [[human]] response?

A: It is not the Adjuster, although the Adjuster is the impetus for higher values and actions and for the path Godward. What you are referring to is the area of mind as you humans define it, which is the mediator between the Divine and the animal nature. It is what you would label conscience, and when there is a divergence or conflict, the human self often self-punishes. This is not what God would have you do. Rather, God would have you take more positive steps and learn and grow toward the light rather than remorseful destructive behavior.

Q: RAYSON, does the Thought Adjuster communicate with the Guardian Seraphim?

Q: Rayson, does the [[Thought Adjuster]] [[communicate]] with the [[Guardian Seraphim]]?

A: Yes, but I am not allowed to explain how.

A: Yes, but I am not allowed to [[explain]] how.

Q: When we are seeking communication with the Thought Adjuster in silent receptivity, how can we - what do we focus on in order to quiet down, what do we try to be aware of?

Q: When we are seeking [[communication]] with the [[Thought Adjuster]] in silent [[receptivity]], how can we - what do we [[focus]] on in order to [[quiet]] down, what do we try to be [[aware]] of?

A: First, I would recommend time spent in prayer which are not selfish petitions but prayer for more spiritual fruits, higher values, service and fellowship, thanksgiving, worship. Then merely relax and try to attain the peace, which surpasses all understanding. This is not an easy task. Many never achieve a clear enough state to consciously hear the guidance of The FATHER, however what is more likely is you will receive an impulse feeling to proceed in a certain direction and illumination of a good acts or action, and these proddings should be followed. Evaluate the spiritual content and you will have an arrow pointing to the Mystery Monitor.

Q: Is there something specific we should focus on in order to quiet the chatter of the mind? To achieve the stillness?

Q: Is there something specific we should [[focus]] on in order to [[quiet]] the chatter of the mind? To achieve the [[stillness]]?

A: There are many techniques, which you humans engage in. To do this each person is different. There are many paths to the same destination, and I am not able to know which might be best for you. Certainly, quiet time is a must. Many benefit from time spent on a routine basis in communion with the higher nature. Exercising a spiritual program muscle, whichever form it takes, will lead to eventual success and breakthrough. Try out different methods of relaxation and meditation. Reflect spiritual receptivity and decide which works best for you. There is no formula that I can give you. I regret that. But each person must work out their relationship with their indwelling Divinity on their own.

Q: You are so much further ascended than the rest of us - to Jerusem - is your experience with your Mystery Monitor intense and conscious at this point? Does it get more conscious as you ascend through the morontia spheres? And could you enlighten us a little and let us know what the differences might be? Between you and us? 150

Q: You are so much further [[ascended]] than the rest of us - to [[Jerusem]] - is your [[experience]] with your [[Mystery Monitor]] [[intense]] and conscious at this point? Does it get more conscious as you [[ascend]] through the [[morontia spheres]]? And could you [[enlighten]] us a little and let us know what the [[differences]] might be? Between you and us?

A: Yes, it is more conscious, of course. The difference is that I guess much less than you (laughter) as to the will of The FATHER.

A: Yes, it is more [[conscious]], of course. The [[difference]] is that I guess much less than you ([[laughter]]) as to the will of [[the Father]].

Q: Are you able to see your Thought Adjuster, RAYSON?

Q: Are you able to see your [[Thought Adjuster]], Rayson?

A: Not at this time.

A: Not at this time.

Q: Is that because he is back where you came from waiting for you?

Q: Is that because he is back where you came from waiting for you?

A: I am not allowed to answer your astute question. (Laughter.)

A: I am not allowed to answer your astute [[question]]. ([[Laughter]].)

Q: On your planet of origin, did you receive your Adjuster as we do on this planet?

Q: On your [[planet]] of [[origin]], did you [[receive]] your [[Adjuster]] as we do on this planet?

A: Similar, but at a younger age.

A: Similar, but at a younger age.

Q: And when you received your Adjuster, on your planet, do the people or the beings know when that occurs?

Q: And when you received your [[Adjuster]], on your [[planet]], do the people or the beings know when that occurs?

A: On occasion, yes.

A: On occasion, yes.

Q: Can you share with us any interesting aspects about that?

Q: Can you [[share]] with us any interesting [[aspects]] about that?

A: We were much more attuned to the spiritual growth of our children than you are on this planet. Every parent actively fostered spiritual awareness in their children as one of the main responsibilities and honors of caring for a young unformed being. Therefore the arrival of the Deity fragment was awaited with great anticipation and joy, and much preparation was spent in discussions around this momentous event. Because it was so highly paid attention to, and fostered, there often was an awareness of the moral decision-making capabilities of the child on the part of the parents, and sometimes an awareness of the upsteps of mind being when the Mystery Monitor arrives. It was a cause of much speculation and celebration. You are virtually unconscious of this momentous occasion on your planet here.

Q: Did your Mystery Monitor bring a blueprint for you to be a doctor of the type that you are?

Q: Did your [[Mystery Monitor]] bring a [[blueprint]] for you to be a [[doctor]] of the type that you are?

A: I am not sure, but what we do know is that The FATHER fragment works with whatever decisions the free-will creature makes to the highest advantage of Deity. Certainly my intellectual genetic inherited capacities and my spiritual receptivity capacities were evaluated when the Mystery Monitor chose to indwell me. So perhaps the angels projected my possible career choices to Divinington and God selected the best FATHER fragment for me. This is speculation, but an educated guess on my part.

Q: Is the operation of the Mystery Monitor in a person influenced at all by the prayers of persons that know this one? And would you comment on what circumstances would lead to the Mystery Monitor leaving a mortal person? Can that be prevented by the prayers or other actions of other mortals?

And would you comment on what circumstances would lead to the [[Mystery Monitor]] leaving a [[mortal]] person? Can that be prevented by the [[prayers]] or other actions of other [[mortals]]?

A: First, if I understand correctly, you would like to know if prayers of others can influence the communication of an individual with their Thought Adjuster. (Yes.) No. That does not influence the communications. Secondly, the Adjusters leave when the mind of the mortal is impaired to the degree that they are physically alive but spiritually dead, as certain forms of insanity or brain damage, etc. Too, an adjuster will leave when a mortal rejects survival, either by nefarious evil to the extent that survival is virtually unassured when they live in the body of the flesh, or after they are repersonalized and they reject survival on the Mansion Worlds. Third, an Adjuster may leave for short periods of time to go on assignments, which we know nothing about in other parts of the universe or to rest and reside on the Isle of Paradise with the Universal FATHER. The adjuster will then return to the mortal of its indwelling after a certain period.

Third, an Adjuster may leave for short periods of time to go on [[assignments]], which we know nothing about in other parts of [[the universe]] or to [[rest]] and reside on the [[Isle of Paradise]] with the [[Universal Father]].

Q: When God bestows a Thought Adjuster or bestows a billion or a trillion Thought Adjusters, is he in any way diminished? Is His infinity in any way diminished by the bestowals either temporarily or in any way?

Q: When God bestows a [[Thought Adjuster]] or bestows a billion or a trillion Thought Adjusters, is he in any way diminished? Is His infinity in any way diminished by the [[bestowals]] either temporarily or in any way?

A: No. I know it is an impossible concept to grasp, but the Universal FATHER is never diminished by anything.

Q: You said that sometimes the Thought Adjuster may leave for a brief period of time to go on an assignment. Well now that I have become more aware of my Thought Adjuster that thought is - I don't like it, I don't want Him to go. How long would that period of time be, and I'm just hoping that that doesn't happen during one of the times when I finally am stilling my mind enough to get in touch.

A: This was not said to raise anxiety fear in you. Let me try to explain a three-dimensional concept to a two-dimensional world. (laughter) The Adjuster travels instantaneously. The Adjuster, being God the Absolute, can be in two places, three places, five places, in essence at once. I assure you that when an Adjuster is detached, each period of time varies, but it is never to the spiritual detriment of the human subject. Clearer than that I cannot be, as you are intellectually incapable of understanding - as I am to a certain degree - the mystery of this aspect of Deity. How is it possible for God to be physically residing on the Paradise Isle and yet physically present, energy, spirit, mind, in each of you? We do not know how to explain, but it is so. When an Adjuster leaves, you will not feel a loss or absence. It is possible it would be a momentary leaving and would never hurt you, or your growth communication, in any way.
