==PAPER 108: MISSION AND MINISTRY OF THOUGHT ADJUSTERS==

108:0.1 The mission of the [[Thought Adjusters]] to the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64#PAPER_64:_THE_EVOLUTIONARY_RACES_OF_COLOR human races] is to [[represent]], to be, the [[Universal Father]] to the [[mortal]] [[creatures]] of [[time and space]]; that is the [[fundamental]] [[work]] of the divine gifts. Their mission is also that of elevating the [[mortal]] [[minds]] and of [[translating]] the [[immortal]] [[souls]] of men up to the [[divine]] heights and [[spiritual]] levels of [[Paradise]] [[perfection]]. And in the [[experience]] of thus [[transforming]] the [[human]] [[nature]] of the temporal [[creature]] into the [[divine]] nature of the [[eternal]] [[finaliter]], the [[Adjusters]] bring into [[existence]] a [[unique]] type of [[being]], a being consisting in the eternal [[union]] of the [[perfect]] [[Adjuster]] and the perfected [[creature]] which it would be impossible to duplicate by any other [[universe]] [[technique]].

108:0.2 Nothing in the entire [[universe]] can substitute for the [[fact]] of [[experience]] on nonexistential levels. The [[infinite]] [[God]] is, as always, replete and complete, infinitely inclusive of all [[things]] except [[evil]] and [[creature]] [[experience]]. [[God]] cannot do wrong; he is [[infallible]]. God cannot experientially know what he has never personally experienced; God's preknowledge is [[existential]]. Therefore does the [[Thought Adjuster|spirit of the Father]] [[descend]] from [[Paradise]] to [[participate]] with finite [[mortals]] in every [[bona fide]] [[experience]] of the [[ascending career]]; it is only by such a [[method]] that the [[existential]] [[God]] could become in [[truth]] and in [[fact]] man's experiential [[Father]]. The [[infinity]] of the eternal God [[encompasses]] the [[potential]] for [[finite]] [[experience]], which indeed becomes [[actual]] in the ministry of the [[Adjuster]] fragments that [[actually]] [[share]] the life [[vicissitude]] experiences of [[human being]]s.

108:1.1 When [[Adjusters]] are dispatched for [[mortal]] [[service]] from [[Divinington]], they are identical in the [[endowment]] of [[existential]] [[divinity]], but they vary in [[experiential]] [[qualities]] [[proportional]] to previous [[contact]] in and with [[evolutionary]] [[creatures]]. We cannot explain the basis of [[Adjuster]] assignment, but we conjecture that these divine gifts are [[bestowed]] in [[accordance]] with some [[wise]] and [[efficient]] [[policy]] of [[eternal]] fitness of [[adaptation]] to the indwelt [[personality]]. We do [[observe]] that the more experienced [[Adjuster]] is often the indweller of the higher type of human [[mind]]; human [[inheritance]] must therefore be a considerable [[factor]] in determining selection and assignment.

108:1.2 Although we do not definitely know, we firmly believe that all [[Thought Adjuster]]s are [[volunteers]]. But before ever they volunteer, they are in [[possession]] of full [[data]] respecting the [[candidate]] for indwelling. The [[seraphic]] drafts of [[ancestry]] and projected [[patterns]] of life [[conduct]] are [[transmitted]] via [[Paradise]] to the reserve corps of Adjusters on [[Divinington]] by the [[reflectivity]] [[technique]] extending inward from the capitals of the [[local universes]] to the [[headquarters]] of the [[superuniverses]]. This [[forecast]] covers not only the [[hereditary]] antecedents of the mortal [[candidate]] but also the estimate of probable [[intellectual]] [[endowment]] and [[spiritual]] [[capacity]]. The [[Adjusters]] thus [[volunteer]] to indwell [[minds]] of whoshttp://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/skins/common/images/button_link.pnge [[intimate]] [[natures]] they have been fully apprised.

108:1.7 With these [[facts]] before them, it is our [[belief]] that the [[Monitors]] freely [[volunteer]] for assignment. Probably more than one Adjuster volunteers; perhaps the supervising [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:4._PERSONALIZED_ADJUSTERS personalized orders] select from this group of volunteering [[Adjusters]] the one best suited to the task of spiritualizing and eternalizing the [[personality]] of the [[mortal]] [[candidate]]. (In the assignment and [[service]] of the [[Adjusters]] the [[sex]] of the [[creature]] is of no [[consideration]].)

108:1.8 The short time [[intervening]] between the [[volunteering]] and the [[actual]] dispatch of the [[Adjuster]] is presumably spent in the [[Divinington]] schools of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:4._PERSONALIZED_ADJUSTERS Personalized Monitors] where a working [[pattern]] of the waiting [[mortal]] [[mind]] is utilized in instructing the assigned [[Adjuster]] as to the most [[effective]] [[plans]] for [[personality]] approach and  spiritization. This [[mind]] [[model]] is [[formulated]] through a combination of [[data]] supplied by the [[superuniverse]] [[reflectivity]] [[service]]. At least this is our [[understanding]], a [[belief]] which we hold as the result of putting [[together]] [[information]] secured by contact with many [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:4._PERSONALIZED_ADJUSTERS Personalized Adjusters] throughout the long universe [[careers]] of the [[Solitary Messengers]].

108:1.9 When once the [[Adjusters]] are actually dispatched from [[Divinington]], practically no time [[intervenes]] between that [[moment]] and the hour of their [[appearance]] in the [[minds]] of their chosen subjects. The average transit time of an [[Adjuster]] from [[Divinington]] to [[Urantia]] is 117 hours, 42 minutes, and 7 seconds. Virtually all of this time is occupied with registration on [[Uversa]].

108:2.1 Though the [[Adjusters]] [[volunteer]] for [[service]] as soon as the [[personality]] [[forecasts]] have been relayed to [[Divinington]], they are not actually assigned until the [[human]] subjects make their first [[moral]] [[personality]] [[decision]]. The first [[moral]] [[choice]] of the human [[child]] is [[automatically]] indicated in the [[Adjutant Mind Spirits|seventh mind-adjutant]] and registers instantly, by way of the [[local universe]] [[Creative Spirit]], over the [[universal]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Foreword#VI._ENERGY_AND_PATTERN mind-gravity circuit] of the [[Conjoint Actor]] in the [[presence]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_16 Master Spirit] of [[superuniverse]] [[jurisdiction]], who forthwith dispatches this [[intelligence]] to [[Divinington]]. [[Adjusters]] reach their human subjects on [[Urantia]], on the average, just prior to the sixth birthday. In the present [[generation]] it is running five years, ten months, and four days; that is, on the 2,134th day of [[terrestrial]] life.

108:2.2 The [[Adjusters]] cannot [[invade]] the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_111#111:1._THE_MIND_ARENA_OF_CHOICE mortal mind] until it has been duly [[prepared]] by the indwelling [[ministry]] of the [[adjutant mind-spirits]] and encircuited in the [[Holy Spirit]]. And it requires the [[co-ordinate]] [[function]] of all [[seven adjutants]] to thus qualify the human mind for the [[reception]] of an [[Adjuster]]. Creature mind must [[exhibit]] the [[worship]] outreach and indicate [[wisdom]] [[function]] by exhibiting the [[ability]] to [[choose]] between the emerging [[values]] of [[good]] and [[evil]]—[[moral]] [[choice]].

108:2.3 Thus is the [[stage]] of the [[human]] [[mind]] set for the [[reception]] of [[Adjusters]], but as a general rule they do not [[immediately]] appear to indwell such minds except on those worlds where the [[Spirit of Truth]] is functioning as a spiritual [[co-ordinator]] of these [[different]] spirit [[ministries]].

==108:3. ORGANIZATION AND ADMINISTRATION==

108:3.1 As far as we know, [[Adjusters]] are organized as an [[independent]] working [[unit]] in the [[universe of universes]] and are [[apparently]] [[administered]] directly from [[Divinington]]. They are [[uniform]] throughout the [[seven superuniverses]], all [[local universes]] being served by [[identical]] types of [[Mystery Monitors]]. We do know from [[observation]] that there are numerous series of [[Adjusters]] involving a serial [[organization]] that extends through [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64 races], over [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_52 dispensations], and to [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 worlds], [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_45 systems], and [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_32#PAPER_32:_THE_EVOLUTION_OF_LOCAL_UNIVERSES universes]. It is, however, exceedingly [[difficult]] to keep track of these divine gifts since they [[function]] interchangeably throughout the [[grand universe]].

108:3.2 [[Adjusters]] are of complete [[record]] (outside of [[Divinington]]) only on the [[headquarters]] of the [[seven superuniverses]]. The [[number]] and order of each [[Adjuster]] indwelling each [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40 ascending creature] are reported out by the [[Paradise]] [[authorities]] to the headquarters of the [[superuniverse]], and from there are [[communicated]] to the headquarters of the [[local universe]] concerned and relayed to the particular [[planet]] involved.

But the [[local universe]] [[records]] do not disclose the full [[number]] of the [[Thought Adjusters]]; the [[Nebadon]] records contain only the local universe assignment number as designated by the [[representatives]] of the [[Ancients of Days]]. The real significance of the [[Adjuster]]'s complete number is known only on [[Divinington]].

108:3.7 As a result of many suggestive lines of [[evidence]], we believe that the [[Adjusters]] are thoroughly [[organized]], that there exists a [[profoundly]] [[intelligent]] and [[efficient]] directive [[administration]] of these divine gifts from some far-distant and [[central]] [[source]], probably [[Divinington]]. We know that they come from [[Divinington]] to the worlds, and undoubtedly they return thereto upon the [[deaths]] of their subjects.
