===Lesson===

In every human on this planet of normal mind resides the Divine; not a physical part of your body, no, but a spiritual inhabitant of mind, higher mind, the Thought Adjuster. Each Adjuster - Divine, loyal, faultless, overflowing with love, and a commitment to the assignment to shepherd the human to the shores of the morontia, and all the way to the presence of the Universal FATHER on paradise. Each adjuster - equal in Divinity but not in experience. Each Adjuster - carrying your predestined life plan, affected only by the free-will determination of the human. Each adjuster indwells the human with a plan, which was conceived and honed on Divinington, approved by the Personalized Adjuster on Divinington as well as the Personalized Adjuster of Urantia. This plan is for your spiritual ascension. Too often it cannot even be slightly realized on this planet. It is a plan for soul growth. It sometimes includes life choices in terms of career, family, fellowship associations, religious expression, decisions involving spiritual growth. All of these things have an ideal and perfect plan in God's mind. But will is the most respected gift in the universe, and the valiant Adjuster - while trying to implement your perfection - must live in loneliness in your imperfection. This is the destiny of the Adjuster on this earth planet. But they are patient and know full well their ultimate destiny. Let me explain. While here indwelling the mortal, the Adjuster is constantly communicating with the human mind. In the majority of cases this communication is not heard or, if glimpsed, garbled by the human thoughts, prejudices, emotions. Many religious fanatics or isms have been the result of misunderstood Adjuster communication. There seems to be an imbalancing effect when an Adjuster communicates with a subject, not always, but often. The Adjuster is impeded by the primitive electro-chemical material housing in which you inhabit, This mechanism is as static to a radio signal. It is quite difficult to quiet the material body, mind, function, and emotion for clear communication to occur. However, it often does occur partially.

In every [[human]] on [[this planet]] of [[normal]] mind resides the [[divine]]; not a physical part of your [[body]], no, but a spiritual inhabitant of [[mind]], [[higher mind]], the [[Thought Adjuster]]. Each Adjuster - [[divine]], [[loyal]], faultless, overflowing with [[love]], and a [[commitment]] to the assignment to [[shepherd]] the [[human]] to the shores of the [[morontia]], and all the way to the [[presence]] of the [[Universal Father]] on [[Paradise]]. Each [[Adjuster]] - [[equal]] in [[divinity]] but not in [[experience]]. Each Adjuster - carrying your [[predestined]] life [[plan]], affected only by the [[free-will]] [[determination]] of the human. Each [[Adjuster]] indwells the human with a [[plan]], which was [[conceived]] and honed on [[Divinington]], approved by the [[Personalized Adjuster]] on Divinington as well as the Personalized Adjuster of [[Urantia]]. This plan is for your spiritual [[ascension]]. Too often it cannot even be slightly [[realized]] on [[this planet]]. It is a plan for [[soul growth]]. It sometimes includes life [[choices]] in terms of [[career]], [[family]], fellowship associations, religious [[expression]], [[decisions]] involving [[spiritual growth]]. All of these things have an [[ideal]] and perfect [[plan]] in God's mind. But will is the most [[respected]] gift in the [[universe]], and the valiant [[Adjuster]] - while trying to implement your [[perfection]] - must live in [[loneliness]] in your imperfection. This is the [[destiny]] of the [[Adjuster]] on this earth [[planet]]. But they are patient and know full well their [[ultimate]] [[destiny]]. Let me [[explain]]. While here indwelling the [[mortal]], the [[Adjuster]] is constantly [[communicating]] with the [[human mind]]. In the [[majority]] of cases this [[communication]] is not heard or, if glimpsed, garbled by the human [[thoughts]], [[prejudices]], [[emotions]]. Many religious [[fanatics]] or [[isms]] have been the result of misunderstood Adjuster [[communication]]. There seems to be an imbalancing [[effect]] when an Adjuster [[communicates]] with a subject, not always, but often. The [[Adjuster]] is impeded by the [[primitive]] [[electro]]-[[chemical]] material housing in which you inhabit, This [[mechanism]] is as [[static]] to a [[radio]] signal. It is quite [[difficult]] to [[quiet]] the material [[body]], [[mind]], function, and [[emotion]] for clear [[communication]] to occur. However, it often does occur partially.

Dreams sometimes reflect an impartial understanding. Also, the Adjuster beams universe broadcasts constantly of love and cosmic citizenship to the subject. It would seem like an impossible task to break through the barrier, but it has been done gradually. As the human matures spiritually, the Adjuster has more freedom to reach the subject. As you know, the cosmic circles are an indication of spiritual progression. It is linked to Adjuster receptivity in the mortal. The Adjuster always communicates perfectly and constantly. The human gains receptivity as he or she proceeds from the seventh to first cosmic circle. For the Adjuster there are certain landmarks. One is when the human achieves the third psychic circle of spiritual progression on this planet. As you know, the third circle is an important milestone. Personal seraphim are assigned, and although we are not sure of the relationship of the seraphim to the Mystery Monitor, we have observed that when personal seraphim are assigned, adjuster receptivity is greatly aided. When the mortal commits to doing the will of The FATHER and sublimating their own will to the Divine, another milestone has been reached. If one could keep this in constant consciousness you would progress more rapidly. The second celebratory milestone for your Adjuster is fusion.

[[Dreams]] sometimes reflect an impartial [[understanding]]. Also, the [[Adjuster]] beams [[universe broadcasts]] constantly of [[love]] and [[cosmic]] [[citizenship]] to the subject. It would seem like an impossible task to break through the [[barrier]], but it has been done [[gradually]]. As the human [[matures]] [[spiritually]], the [[Adjuster]] has more [[freedom]] to reach the subject. As you know, the [[Seven Psychic Circles|cosmic circles]] are an indication of [[spiritual progression]]. It is linked to [[Adjuster]] [[receptivity]] in the [[mortal]]. The Adjuster always [[communicates]] perfectly and constantly. The [[human]] gains [[receptivity]] as he or she [[proceeds]] from the [[Seven psychic circles|seventh to first cosmic circle]]. For the [[Adjuster]] there are certain landmarks. One is when the human achieves the ''third psychic circle'' of [[spiritual progression]] on [[this planet]]. As you know, the third circle is an important milestone. [[Personal seraphim]] are assigned, and although we are not sure of the [[relationship]] of the [[seraphim]] to the [[Mystery Monitor]], we have [[observed]] that when [[personal seraphim]] are assigned, [[adjuster]] [[receptivity]] is greatly aided. When the mortal commits to [[doing the will of the Father]] and sublimating their own will to the [[divine]], another milestone has been reached. If one could keep this in constant [[consciousness]] you would progress more rapidly. The second celebratory milestone for your [[Adjuster]] is [[fusion]].

What exactly is [[fusion]]? It is simply this: ONE WILL; the [[human]] subserving to the [[divine]], the two wills moving [[together]] to become one will over a [[dual]] minded being - Divine [[Adjuster]] mind and [[human mind]], one will. When this will is in such [[perfect]] [[attunement]], [[fusion]] occurs. A new being is created. You are indeed one with the [[divine]], the [[eternal]] - the [[finite]], the [[Absolute]] - the imperfect, the time bound the forever. ([[I AM]]?) becomes one. This is the [[goal]] and [[journey]] of the [[Adjuster]]. The third and final milestone is when the new [[creation]], the fused (being?), is in the [[presence]] of the [[Paradise Father]], when the child of Paradise, the [[Adjuster]], [[shepherds]] its [[mortal]] [[companion]] and this companion [[recognizes]] [[God]]. After [[fusion]], much of the [[Adjuster]]'s work is concerned with the [[eternal]] [[path]], teaching the [[mortal]] what [[God]] knows. The [[future]] is clear and [[assured]]. The present is known. The child of time and the eternal are wedded forever. But the child of time must [[learn]] all of the spiritual implications, ramifications, of the [[eternal]] [[path]], and this is what the [[Adjuster]] imparts, [[eon]] upon eon, until the child can see God - [[past]], [[present]], [[future]] - as [[eternal]]. This is a very complicated [[concept]] for you children of time. If you will [[think]] on it, you perhaps might begin to grasp the glimmer of what I am saying. We have an [[adventure]] ahead! But it is not a straight line. It is all [[encompassing]] of [[everything]] that ever was, is, and shall be. It is quite [[existential]]. God, of course, encompasses all.

This is a very complicated concept for you children of time. If you will think on it, you perhaps might begin to grasp the glimmer of what I am saying. We have an adventure ahead! But it is not a straight line. It is all encompassing of everything that ever was, is, and shall be. It is quite existential. God, of course, encompasses all.

In order to see [[the Father]] you must [[understand]] all. As you traverse [[Seven psychic circles|the circles]], your outlook becomes more [[morontial]]. For the lucky few who achieve ''first circle'', you are truly [[morontial]] in outlook. You are [[aware]] of the [[reality]] of [[soul growth]] and become less locked to the [[physical]] and [[material]] world. There have been some instances of mortal [[translation]] on [[this planet]] but these are infrequent occurrences. This happens when the [[mortal]] and the [[divine]] will become (constantly?) [[one]]. Human [[death]] is passed over and the [[soul]], [[Adjuster]], [[personality]], are taken to the [[mansion worlds]]. No one from this planet has ever avoided [[mansion world]] [[experience]], even those few who are [[translated]] here. For the [[majority]] human [[death]] is an [[inevitability]]. And I will pause - [Merlin, the dog, after scratching noisily at the door, makes a triumphal entry and is fused into the meeting. Although his words are impossible to transcribe, his sentiments are heard loudly on the tape.] [[Death]] is greatly [[anticipated]] by the [[Adjuster]] for this reason: only when you reach [[Mansonia]] can the [[Adjuster]] more clearly [[communicate]] with you. After human [[death]] you will clearly hear the [[messages]] from your [[Adjuster]]. Whether you [[obey]] is up to you, but there will be no more guesswork or [[confusion]].

===='''''[[Conscience]]'''''====

Now, in the area of confusion, it is quite [[normal]] to not know what is an [[Adjuster]] prompting and what is a prompting of [[conscience]], which is a wholly different [[mechanism]]. [[Conscience]] is a human [[morality]] [[mechanism]] which helps you to know, or prompts you to do, what is right versus what is wrong. The [[Adjuster]] tells you what is really right. Do you see the [[difference]], students? [[Morality]] vs. [[spirituality]]. [[Truth]] vs. [[fact]]. High [[values]] vs. [[societal]] rules. The [[Adjuster]] always knows what is truly right. But it is the [[human condition]] to not be sure, and it is better to use your [[spiritual]] [[tools]] of slow [[progress]], [[prayer]], [[worship]], [[thanksgiving]], [[meditation]], consultation with fellows - group [[wisdom]], et cetera, to [[discern]] what is the highest [[choice]]. Better to err on the side of [[caution]] than to believe all inner prompting to be the work of your [[Adjuster]]. The Adjuster does not place [[thoughts]] in your mind, but rather [[influences]] upstep in your [[thoughts]]. Also, the Adjuster wishes you to make [[decisions]] as [[actions]], which are [[in line]] with higher [[spiritual]] [[value]]. There are two parts to the [[equation]]; [[growth]], [[thought]], [[spirituality]]; [[action]], [[service]]-in your life and in the world. The [[soul]] does not grow from [[intentions]]. The soul grows through [[decision]]-[[action]]. [[Love]] acts. So the [[potential]] must be translated to the [[actual]], here, today, in your lives, in this world - in each of your own way.

In order to see The FATHER you must understand all. As you traverse the circles, your outlook becomes more morontial. For the lucky few who achieve first circle, you are truly morontial in outlook. You are aware of the reality of soul growth and become less locked to the physical and material world. There have been some instances of mortal translation on this planet but these are infrequent occurrences. This happens when the mortal and the Divine will become (constantly?) one. Human death is passed over and the soul, Adjuster, personality, are taken to the mansion worlds. No one from this planet has ever avoided mansion world experience, even those few who are translated here. For the majority human death is an inevitability. And I will pause - [Merlin, the dog, after scratching noisily at the door, makes a triumphal entry and is fused into the meeting. Although his words are impossible to transcribe, his sentiments are heard loudly on the tape.] 158 Death is greatly anticipated by the Adjuster for this reason: only when you reach Mansonia can the Adjuster more clearly communicate with you. After human death you will clearly hear the messages from your adjuster. Whether you obey is up to you, but there will be no more guesswork or confusion. Now, in the area of confusion, it is quite normal to not know what is an Adjuster prompting and what is a prompting of conscience, which is a wholly different mechanism. Conscience is a human morality mechanism which helps you to know, or prompts you to do, what is right versus what is wrong. The Adjuster tells you what is really right. Do you see the difference, students? Morality vs. spirituality. Truth vs. fact. High values vs. societal rules. The Adjuster always knows what is truly right. But it is the human condition to not be sure, and it is better to use your spiritual tools of slow progress, prayer, worship, thanksgiving, meditation, consultation with fellows - group wisdom, et cetera, to discern what is the highest choice. Better to err on the side of caution than to believe all inner prompting to be the work of your Adjuster. The Adjuster does not place thoughts in your mind, but rather influences upstep in your thoughts. Also, the Adjuster wishes you to make decisions as actions, which are in line with higher spiritual value. There are two parts to the equation; growth, thought, spirituality; action, service-in your life and in the world. The soul does not grow from intentions. The soul grows through decision-action. Love acts. So the potential must be translated to the actual, here, today, in your lives, in this world - in each of your own way.

Try to be a little more loving, [[tolerant]], [[faith]]-filled to your fellows. Try to extend a [[kindness]] when originally you might want to sit back. Be active, not [[passive]]. This greatly aids [[spiritual]] [[attainment]] and [[Adjuster]] [[communication]]. We will all reach the same [[goal]], [[brothers and sisters]], but better to do as much [[good]] as you can along the way. What a gift you can give your [[Adjuster]]! The gift of [[survival]], [[fusion]], and the highest most [[service]] minded [[experiences]] you can give to this piece of [[the Father]] - who only wants, in return, for your eternal [[survival]] and unconditional [[love]], which he gives to you, only wants your [[experiential]] living in return. This is a gift to God [[the Father]] and [[God the Supreme]]. [[Cosmic consciousness]] is a gift to the [[Supreme]]. And Cosmic consciousness is [[attained]] through [[experience]] and [[actions]]. Children, this is something that you can do for God. Please try this week to give your [[Adjuster]] and [[God the Supreme]] the gift of the highest [[experience]] you can. You will be amply rewarded for it.

In this group no one is contemplating non-survival. Therefore we will not address that issue. But let me bring today's lesson to a close with a small prayer for you, my fellows. FATHER, balance your children in their lives. Let them be consciously aware of your Divine gift residing in their mind. Let them try to lead poised, loving, service-filled lives so that they may better attune their will to the will of the Divine. Bless them with spiritual growth and bestow the fruits of the spirit on them as they live day by day through these uncertain times. Thank you father for your blessing.

Q: When you were speaking of conscience vs. the province of the Thought Adjuster you remarked that it was better to err on the side of caution. Do you mean that in regard to personal curiosity as to whether or not one is having an experience with celestial entities. 159

Q: When you were speaking of [[conscience]] vs. the province of the [[Thought Adjuster]] you remarked that it was better to err on the side of [[caution]]. Do you mean that in regard to [[personal]] [[curiosity]] as to whether or not one is having an [[experience]] with celestial [[entities]].

A: There will always be human curiosity as concerns the origins of certain promptings. This is to be expected, and is actually a part of spiritual growth fellowship sharing. However, it is better for the balance of the human personality to not attribute promptings to Adjuster guidance. This leads to fanaticism, religious fanaticism, and then imbalance. It is better to say "well, I think this is a good thing. It holds up to my examination of spiritual progression - truth, beauty, goodness, service – but it could be coming from my mind, the angels, etcetera, the Spirit of Truth, or just my own spiritual progression." As one progresses spiritually, deeper meanings and resonances are gained from these very concepts. That is spiritual maturating. What we understand to be beautiful, true, and good at one level becomes so much more replete with many meanings as we grow. All I am warning against is the tendency of the human to hear the voice of the Divine and justify actions, which are purely human with this mechanism. Is that clearer to you?

Q: It sounds to me when you say that it's more important to the Thought Adjuster that we act, that we decide, than what we decide or what we do. Am I correct?

Q: It sounds to me when you say that it's more important to the [[Thought Adjuster]] that we [[act]], that we [[decide]], than what we decide or what we do. Am I correct?

A: Both are correct. Your decision should be evaluated against your spiritual - or with your spiritual tools. But action is just as important as growth. No one will ever be faulted for acting in the best manner for their level of spiritual growth, although their actions would perhaps be improved upon if they were more advanced.

Q: RAYSON, two weeks ago I asked about the role of fear as an impediment to Adjuster action and communication with the mortal mind. And to flip that over and look at something that might positively affect Adjuster actions, I wonder if you could comment on the role of humor? And also perhaps of the sense of adventure, and any other qualities that might help us in this respect?

And also perhaps of the sense of [[adventure]], and any other [[qualities]] that might help us in this respect?

A: Humor, wonder, joy, optimistic anticipation of the ascension career, love, tolerance, a feeling of peacefulness with one's self, one's fellows, one's God, loving service - all of these qualities strengthen faith or are outworkings of faith. This great (liaison?) assists: the Adjuster providing the fertile soil for His ideas-concepts-communications. A cheerful outlook, a balanced view of life, a sure knowledge that you are God's child, and personally and perfectly loved by your creator, an assurance of your survival, and a belief in the reality of the spiritual promise of JESUS, can only aid a joyful and daily existence, filled with the love of God pouring into you and pouring out from you to others. This type of life will surely hear the Adjuster for you are eminently doing the will of God when you live this way.
