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]].

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]].

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]].

107:6.6 And yet, while the [[Adjusters]] utilize the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_12#12:3._UNIVERSAL_GRAVITY 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.

107:7.1 [[Thought Adjusters]] are not [[personalities]], but they are real [[entities]]; they are truly and [[perfectly]] [[individualized]], although they are never, while indwelling [[mortals]], actually [[personalized]]. [[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 [[Free will|will]] and [[powers]] of [[choice]], how then can they select [[mortal]] subjects and [[volunteer]] to indwell these [[creatures]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 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 [[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 being]]s, 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]].

107:7.5 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.
