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.

===Lesson===

To briefly review, Urantia is a fortunate planet in that since MICHAEL's incarnation in the flesh and His subsequent elevation, this planet has been given His mighty gift of the Spirit of Truth. This interfaces directly with the Indwelling Adjuster in that since the bestowal of the Spirit of Truth every sound-minded mortal on this planet, upon reaching the age of choice between what is right or wrong spiritually, is given an indwelling Mystery Monitor.

To briefly review, [[Urantia]] is a fortunate [[planet]] in that since [[Michael]]'s [[incarnation]] in the flesh and His [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_21#21:3._LOCAL_UNIVERSE_SOVEREIGNTY subsequent elevation], [[this planet]] has been given His mighty gift of the [[Spirit of Truth]]. This [[interfaces]] directly with the Indwelling [[Adjuster]] in that since the [[bestowal]] of the [[Spirit of Truth]] every sound-minded [[mortal]] on [[this planet]], upon reaching the age of [[choice]] between what is right or wrong spiritually, is given an indwelling [[Mystery Monitor]].

Other planets, which have not been privy to this gift, receive monitors in other ways, but all mystery Monitors are equal spiritually, if not experientially. So this planet has been uplifted in a time of isolation by the gift of the Father on High. The Mystery Monitors, to all purposes of reality, are God. Their mission is not really for this lifetime in the flesh but for the next lifetime in the morontial and spiritual. They are referred to as heavenly helpers, not earthly or material helpers. How do they affect you here? Well, suffice it to say that if the Mystery Monitors were to vacate the mortals on this planet, your world would soon devolve to nothing more than mere savagery and instinctual tribal behavior. It cannot be portrayed to you how much they affect your behavior, but without them you would be animals. The Mystery Monitors are organized and do communicate with each other, but not in ways that are familiar to me. The head of the corps on Urantia, and indeed in your universe, is the personal, wise, Monitor of JESUS of Nazareth who so skillfully guided the human JESUS through all the steps of his spiritual maturity.

The indwelling Adjuster is indeed responsible for leading you into your future as an eternal survivor. The Monitor is perfect, and therefore you have the assurance of the Father on high, that you, an imperfect being, indeed have the potential and the promise of perfection. The Monitor also assures you, an infinite time-bound child of God, of your future attainment of eternity. The Monitor is the divine parent, the human parent of the developing morontia soul. The Thought Adjuster is much more concerned with its mission of your evolving soul than with your temporal emotions - which are responsive to your inner mind - though pairing or external physical circumstances. He is not swayed by the vicissitudes of life here, but rather the focus is on the future being which you and the Absolute will co-create, one day merging, fusing, into an entirely new entity of God and man, an eternal being never before seen. The Father is infinite, absolute, perfect, existential and pre-personal. The only thing the Father lacks is knowledge of sin and evil and experiential creature knowledge. Through the bestowal of the Divine Adjuster man is able to know God and God is able to experience finite creature experience. It is a most interesting exchange. The communication of adjusters to humans is done mostly unconsciously, through sleep or when awake.

The indwelling [[Adjuster]] is indeed [[responsible]] for [[leading]] you into your [[future]] as an eternal [[survivor]]. The Monitor is [[perfect]], and therefore you have the [[assurance]] of [[the Father]] on high, that you, an imperfect being, indeed have the [[potential]] and the [[promise]] of [[perfection]]. The Monitor also [[assures]] you, an infinite time-bound child of God, of your future [[attainment]] of eternity. The Monitor is the divine [[parent]], (you) the human parent of the developing [[morontia]] [[soul]]. The [[Thought Adjuster]] is much more concerned with its [[mission]] of your [[evolving soul]] than with your temporal [[emotions]] - which are responsive to your inner mind - though pairing or external [[physical]] [[circumstances]]. He is not swayed by the [[vicissitudes]] of life here, but rather the [[focus]] is on the [[future]] being which you and the Absolute will co-create, one day merging, [[fusing]], into an entirely new [[entity]] of God and man, an eternal being never before seen. [[The Father]] is infinite, absolute, perfect, existential and pre-personal. The only thing the Father lacks is [[knowledge]] of [[sin]] and [[evil]] and [[experiential]] [[creature]] [[knowledge]]. Through the [[bestowal]] of the Divine [[Adjuster]] man is able to know God and [[God]] is able to [[experience]] finite [[creature]] experience. It is a most interesting [[exchange]]. The [[communication]] of [[adjusters]] to humans is done mostly unconsciously, through [[sleep]] or when [[awake]].

The reflections of the Adjuster are often not heard in the conscious mind. But rest assured, every prompting reality - spiritual impulse - is saved for the evolving human to partake of when they have reached that level. So, as a human moves from circle to circle or incarnation to incarnation, what the adjuster fails to teach will be taught at a higher level. Nothing of survival value is ever lost, but simply saved for future use. Try to view the Adjuster as the spiritual voice imprint pattern of your soul personality in the future. Every material thought is duplicated with its spiritual essence in the higher mind of the Adjuster. It is an assurance of what you will some day be. The Adjuster is a being of much patience, loyalty and yes, love. The mission is the morontial, to create the soul. At times Adjusters may consciously be reached by the human without the interference of symbols and human thought - interpretation - expectations. When this happens, as - incidentally - it does more often on an experimental isolated planet than it does on other more normal-course worlds, the Adjuster is in a mood of intense celebration and joy. It is the lonely mission of these pieces of Divinity to communicate with the mortal. Often Adjusters must wait until re-personalization to even begin this wonderful association. But no adjuster has ever failed in his task, and has never been examined for any inference of default.

The [[reflections]] of the [[Adjuster]] are often not heard in the [[conscious]] mind. But rest [[assured]], every prompting [[reality]] - spiritual [[impulse]] - is saved for the evolving human to partake of when they have reached that level.

But no adjuster has ever failed in his task, and has never been [[examined]] for any inference of [[default]].

An important point for you to reflect upon is that - while you go about your life thinking, reacting, feeling, praying, living, being - the Adjuster is patterning the spiritual truth to mirror and reflect every one of your thoughts, actions, emotions. Although you may not clearly discern what the Adjuster is saying, your status as agondonter is playing out in this arena. For, it is enough for you to know intellectually, emotionally, mindally that the Adjuster is urging you to be less selfish, less sinful, less negative, and to shift your focus to service, love, worship, prayer, thanksgiving - which, in essence, constitute the will of God. You, more than other creatures, have direct access to the will of God, for the will of God resides in each of you. Do not be confused with the moral definition of right-wrong, religious rules, restrictions, etcetera, but try to focus on the will of God living within. On faith, as agondonters, know within you lies a piece of Divinity of which many other creatures in the universe of universes would wish to have assess to. You can break through barriers to this Divinity, but it takes work and commitment of your will to the will of the Father. The Adjusters also have other missions of which I am are not aware or allowed to disclose to you. However, it is enough for you to take in the miracle of this gift: the most perfected Being, Creator of all, indwelling in loneliness and silence the least evolved of His creation, and benefiting through creature experience to become ever more compassionate, and to know and love each one of His children individually and personally. What greater love can exist than the Divine Adjuster leaving the perfection of Paradise and Divinington to intimately associate in a mind often full of negative thoughts and imperfect behavior on a world so distressed? But God loves you personally so much, infinitely, that He is willing to go through the waters of adversity, negativity, sin, even evil, with you and guide you safely to a brighter shore.

An important point for you to [[reflect]] upon is that - while you go about your life [[thinking]], [[reacting]], [[feeling]], [[praying]], living, [[being]] - the [[Adjuster]] is patterning the spiritual [[truth]] to [[mirror]] and [[reflect]] every one of your [[thoughts]], [[actions]], [[emotions]].

What greater [[love]] can exist than the Divine [[Adjuster]] leaving the [[perfection]] of [[Paradise]] and [[Divinington]] to [[intimately]] associate in a mind often full of [[negative]] thoughts and imperfect [[behavior]] on a world so distressed? But God loves you personally so much, infinitely, that He is willing to go through the waters of [[adversity]], [[negativity]], [[sin]], even [[evil]], with you and guide you safely to a brighter shore.

And His promise is to someday create a new creature, coparents - man and God equal parents - to the bright and beautiful entity, which will some day serve in the Corps of the Finaliters under the personalized adjuster of JESUS of Nazareth, Himself. What greater love can be demonstrated to you? Have you actually grasped what this means, my brothers and sisters? Have you ever thanked the Father for this most precious gift? Have you ever been humbled by the goodness of God, his generosity and compassion - to reserve the right to know every creature personally, to withstand the vicissitudes of emotion and imperfection, and the often dark times that every human must silently go through to reach the heights of sublime peace and God knowingness? God goes through this gratefully, generously, lovingly, voluntarily for you, his sons and daughters of time. What lies ahead in this grand adventure we can only guess at. But you, brothers and sisters, are especially blessed and favored to exist on a world where the Creator Son, Himself, bestowed His Spirit, and where the Father Himself bestowed His gifts. At this point I would like to end the discourse and participate with you in a group meditation of silent receptivity, which I will lead. Dear Father, Creator of all, endless circle of love, goodness, and First Source and Center of everything, show your children the way to you; the journey inward and outward which is without end, replete in spiritual growth and sung of by angels. Let us be silent as each one of your children tries more consciously to feel your presence within and without. To feel your Divine unconditional and endless love mercy, goodness, and beauty. Let us listen to the silent voice of the eternal. (Long silence) 154 If you feel peaceful, sublime, loved, loving, forgiving, forgiven, compassionate, connected to your brothers and sisters and the Father, that is your first inkling of Thought Adjuster downreach and outreach to the human mind and soul. Some day you will feel this way always, and more. My children, and brothers and sisters, I bless you and open the floor to questions.

Q: RAYSON, on the planet that you came from, did everyone have Thought Adjusters like they do here, and did you, personally, have a Thought Adjuster?

Q: Rayson, on the [[planet]] that you came from, did everyone have [[Thought Adjusters]] like they do here, and did you, [[personally]], have a Thought Adjuster?

 

 

Q: RAYSON, I have a question on fear human beings on Urantia experience this. There are a number of places in The Urantia Book where we are admonished not to be fearful. And there is also a place where savages on this earth were discussed, and they were said to be quite fearful. Now even in the condition we're in right now, which has advanced somewhat beyond the savage human point, there still is a great deal of fear. How does the condition of fear in man interrelate with connectedness to the Thought Adjuster and general faith?

A: Fear is the biggest emotional barrier to Thought Adjuster communications: animal fear and anxiety. How to conquer this is a lifetime challenge and active job for the human. One is by remembering what true reality is. True reality is spiritual reality. If you would examine the source of your fears you would find that they are rooted in the physical, material realms. For example: Will I have a job? Will I get ill? Will this action hurt me? Will I lose this person's love? Will I look good to others? There is a difference between instinctual survival fears which are built into a species and easily surpassed as the race becomes more intellectually developed and fears that arises out of the unreality of ego and the material, physical plain. The absence of fear equals love. The two cannot coexist in the human psyche. The more one loves the less one fears. It is not an easy task to accomplish, and indeed many mortals never accomplish this to any significant degree in this lifetime. Some extraordinary human beings do manage to, for the most part, live without fear, but these are generally humans with self-acting Adjusters and lives dedicated to the spiritual realities.

A: On the planet I came from not everyone received [[Adjusters]], although most did - in the later [[stages]]. Yes, I did receive an [[Adjuster]], but am not with my Adjuster while I serve here on [[Urantia]].

Q: Rayson, I have a question on [[fear]] human beings on [[Urantia]] experience this. There are a number of places in The [[Urantia Book]] where we are [[admonished]] not to be fearful. And there is also a place where [[savages]] on this [[earth]] were discussed, and they were said to be quite [[fearful]]. Now even in the condition we're in right now, which has advanced somewhat beyond the savage human point, there still is a great deal of [[fear]]. How does the condition of [[fear]] in man interrelate with [[connectedness]] to the [[Thought Adjuster]] and general [[faith]]?

Q: Since you don't have a Thought Adjuster here, in the quiet time when we were reaching for the Father within us, what do you do during those moments? How do you reach for Him if He is not within you now?

A: [[Fear]] is the biggest [[emotional]] [[barrier]] to [[Thought Adjuster]] [[communications]]: animal [[fear]] and [[anxiety]]. How to [[conquer]] this is a lifetime [[challenge]] and active job for the human. One is by [[remembering]] what true [[reality]] is. True reality is [[spiritual]] reality. If you would [[examine]] the source of your [[fears]] you would find that they are rooted in the [[physical]], [[material]] realms. For example: Will I have a job? Will I get ill? Will this [[action]] hurt me? Will I lose this [[person]]'s [[love]]? Will I look good to others? There is a [[difference]] between [[instinctual]] survival fears which are built into a [[species]] and easily surpassed as the [[race]] becomes more intellectually developed and fears that arises out of the unreality of [[ego]] and the material, [[physical]] plain. The [[absence]] of [[fear]] equals [[love]]. The two cannot coexist in the human [[psyche]]. The more one [[loves]] the less one [[fears]]. It is not an easy task to accomplish, and indeed many [[mortals]] never accomplish this to any significant [[degree]] in this lifetime. Some extraordinary [[human being]]s do manage to, for the most part, live without [[fear]], but these are generally humans with [[self-acting Adjusters]] and lives [[dedicated]] to the [[spiritual]] [[realities]].

A: I pray. God is present externally as well as internally and I am capable of feeling His love.

Q: Since you don't have a [[Thought Adjuster]] here, in the [[quiet]] time when we were reaching for the [[Father withi]]n us, what do you do during those moments? How do you reach for Him if He is not within you now?

Q: Can you see our Thought Adjusters?

A: I [[pray]]. God is present externally as well as internally and I am capable of [[feeling]] His [[love]].

A: I can only see a glow around the pre-frontal lobe.

Q: Can you see our [[Thought Adjusters]]?

Q: Is that akin on any level to people who claim to see auras?

A: I can only see a [[glow]] around the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-frontal_cortex pre-frontal lobe].

A: I do not know. For not knowing these mortals, I do not know what they see. Theoretically, it is possible, I suppose.

Q: Is that akin on any level to people who claim to see [[auras]]?

Q: RAYSON, in our daily activities, when we meet another person and we interrelate with them, is there any way that we are aware of their Thought Adjuster? Is any communication between, for instance, my Thought Adjuster and the Thought Adjuster of the other person? A lot of times when I meet people I can look at them and think, I know they have a Thought Adjuster, and I know there is a fragment of God within this human being. Is there any other awareness that takes place?

A: I do not know. For not knowing these [[mortals]], I do not know what they see. [[Theoretically]], it is possible, I suppose.

A: There is communication amongst Adjusters, but what it is I do not know. There is also personality recognition amongst humans, also personality of bestowal of the Father. But I am unaware of what the communication might be. Adjusters sometimes communicate to each other as the mortals sleep, but again this remains an enigma to me.

A lot of times when I meet people I can look at them and think, I know they have a Thought Adjuster, and I know there is a fragment of God within this [[human being]]. Is there any other [[awareness]] that takes place?

Q: RAYSON, my question is about the concept of patterning that you talked about earlier. I wonder if you could explain that? I wasn't sure if I understood that there was a - that was direction, or if it was some sort of parallel or duplication process for the future.

A: There is [[communication]] amongst [[Adjusters]], but what it is I do not know. There is also [[personality]] [[recognition]] amongst [[humans]], also personality of [[bestowal]] of [[the Father]]. But I am unaware of what the [[communication]] might be. [[Adjusters]] sometimes communicate to each other as the [[mortals]] [[sleep]], but again this remains an [[enigma]] to me.

A: It is both, (S). Always the Adjuster tries and does direct and adjust the thoughts of the subject. In addition, there is a mirror in higher mind for every incomplete imperfect thought-action that the human engages in. The adjuster reflects and keeps the spiritual-perfected truth of that thought action and saves it as the pattern for the emerging morontia soul. This is the projection of who you will become some day, as well as the Adjuster's influence in changing who you are today. Is that clear? (Yes).

Q: Rayson, my question is about the [[concept]] of patterning that you talked about earlier. I [[wonder]] if you could [[explain]] that? I wasn't sure if I [[understood]] that there was a - that was [[direction]], or if it was some sort of [[parallel]] or duplication process for the [[future]].

Q: [Student recites a chance meeting with his sister] Was this Adjuster connected? I invited her to sit down, and I struggled with did she have something to tell me? Or do I have something to tell her? Would you counsel me on something like that? Could something like it be adjuster related? Or is that a coincidence? Or could it be either?

A: It is both, (S). Always the [[Adjuster]] tries and does direct and [[adjust]] the [[thoughts]] of the subject. In addition, there is a [[mirror]] in higher mind for every incomplete imperfect [[thought]]-[[action]] that the human [[engages]] in. The [[adjuster]] [[reflects]] and keeps the spiritual-perfected [[truth]] of that thought action and saves it as the pattern for the emerging [[morontia]] [[soul]]. This is the [[projection]] of who you will become some day, as well as the [[Adjuster]]'s [[influence]] in changing who you are today. Is that [[clear]]? (Yes).

A: It may be Adjuster related, although that would be less likely than Angelic intervention. As far as counseling, I cannot. I can only tell you in general terms that each human has something individual and beautiful to contribute to his / her fellows and to the Supreme. You can mutually exchange love, personality, and service. We cannot see - judge a person's spiritual growth or status. Who has more to offer, the brother or the sister? We do not know. The truth is you both have much to give to many. Love her and give what you can, and I am sure she will do the same.

Q: [[[Student]] recites a [[chance]] meeting with his sister] Was this [[Adjuster]] connected? I invited her to sit down, and I [[struggled]] with did she have something to tell me? Or do I have something to tell her? Would you [[counsel]] me on something like that? Could something like it be [[adjuster]] related? Or is that a [[coincidence]]? Or could it be either?

Q: In western culture now we have the capacity to keep many people alive into advanced age. This means that we see a fairly high percentage, compared to past ages, of persons who develop dementing diseases, particularly Altzheimers disease and (multi?? infarct dementia?). In these disorders there's generally disease of the frontal and prefrontal areas, and one sees clinically disintegration of the personality as well as loss of capacity for self-maintenance. Now there's a very great moral dilemma developing in western medicine presently about - is it right to keep such people alive? Because the expense of keeping them alive is very very high. There is much grief in the family as these people become further and further detached from family and friends and reality. And these people seem to have much fear, much pain, and much illness in general. Could you comment on this? Could you comment on how this would be handled on another world such as the one that you come from?

Q: In [[western]] [[culture]] now we have the capacity to keep many people alive into advanced age. This means that we see a fairly high percentage, compared to past ages, of persons who develop dementing [[diseases]], particularly [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alzheimer%27s_disease Altzheimers disease] and (multi?? infarct [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dementia dementia]?). In these disorders there's generally [[disease]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontal_lobe frontal] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefrontal_cortex prefrontal areas], and one sees clinically disintegration of the [[personality]] as well as loss of [[capacity]] for self-[[maintenance]]. Now there's a very great [[moral]] [[dilemma]] developing in western [[medicine]] presently about - is it right to keep such people alive? Because the expense of keeping them alive is very very high.

And these people seem to have much [[fear]], much [[pain]], and much illness in general. Could you comment on this? Could you comment on how this would be handled on another world such as the one that you come from?

A: In the cases where the deterioration is in the prefrontal lobe it is my opinion that the Adjuster has left. What is alive is a physical body. As for the ethics of maintaining life, it is irrelevant spiritually one way or another. In terms of my world we had in place a spiritualized and accepted ritual for graduation when the physical was an impediment to the spiritual soul growth - that is, of course, the only eternal reality. When the mechanism housing the soul-Adjuster no longer functioned, it was not of any consequence to 156 terminate life. In fact, it was a cause of celebration, being the Father's will that the soul move on to the next growth level. You down here have much more irrational and emotional reactions to this practice since-as a world-you do not truly understand what life is, and define it solely in terms of the physical. Now, some day on your planet things will even out. Your life capacity, ideally, is approximately five hundred earth years. This will not be attained until the early stages of Light and Life. As you grow as a world spiritually, you will learn to temper life extension with actual life growth of the soul. And many diseases will be eliminated which interfere with the mind-soul connection. Until that time this topic will be reacted to irrationally and I can only pray for your enlightenment as a world culture since many mortals suffer needlessly, and suffer delays in their universe career because of the mere sentiment, which is attached to the material body.

A: In the cases where the deterioration is in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefrontal_cortex prefrontal lobe] it is my [[opinion]] that the [[Adjuster]] has left. What is alive is a [[physical]] [[body]]. As for the [[ethics]] of maintaining life, it is irrelevant [[spiritually]] one way or another. In terms of my world we had in place a spiritualized and [[accepted]] [[ritual]] for [[graduation]] when the [[physical]] was an impediment to the spiritual [[soul growth]] - that is, of course, the only [[eternal]] [[reality]]. When the [[mechanism]] housing the [[soul]]-[[Adjuster]] no longer functioned, it was not of any consequence to terminate life. In [[fact]], it was a cause of [[celebration]], being [[the Father]]'s will that the [[soul]] move on to the next [[growth]] level. You down here have much more irrational and [[emotional]] [[reactions]] to this practice since-as a world-you do not truly [[understand]] what life is, and define it solely in terms of the [[physical]].

Q: If a person is demented, and the Thought Adjuster has left them, where is their soul? If their body is still alive, is it still with them on this planet? Or has it already gone with the Thought Adjuster?
