==110:3. CO-OPERATION WITH THE ADJUSTER==

110:3.1 Adjusters are playing the sacred and superb game of the ages; they are engaged in one of the supreme adventures of time in space. And how happy they are when your co-operation permits them to lend assistance in your short struggles of time as they continue to prosecute their larger tasks of eternity. But usually, when your Adjuster attempts to communicate with you, the message is lost in the material currents of the energy streams of human mind; only occasionally do you catch an echo, a faint and distant echo, of the divine voice.

110:3.1 [[Adjusters]] are playing the [[sacred]] and superb [[game]] of the ages; they are [[engaged]] in one of the [[supreme]] [[adventures]] of [[Spacetime|time in space]]. And how [[happy]] they are when your [[co-operation]] permits them to lend [[assistance]] in your short [[struggles]] of time as they continue to prosecute their larger tasks of [[eternity]]. But usually, when your [[Adjuster]] attempts to [[communicate]] with you, the message is lost in the [[material]] currents of the [[energy]] streams of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_111#111:1._THE_MIND_ARENA_OF_CHOICE human mind]; only occasionally do you catch an [[echo]], a faint and distant echo, of the [[divine]] [[voice]].

110:3.2 The success of your Adjuster in the enterprise of piloting you through the mortal life and bringing about your survival depends not so much on the theories of your beliefs as upon your decisions, determinations, and steadfast faith. All these movements of personality growth become powerful influences aiding in your advancement because they help you to co-operate with the Adjuster; they assist you in ceasing to resist. Thought Adjusters succeed or apparently fail in their terrestrial undertakings just in so far as mortals succeed or fail to co-operate with the scheme whereby they are to be advanced along the ascending path of perfection attainment. The secret of survival is wrapped up in the supreme human desire to be Godlike and in the associated willingness to do and be any and all things which are essential to the final attainment of that overmastering desire.

110:3.2 The success of your [[Adjuster]] in the [[enterprise]] of piloting you through the [[mortal]] life and bringing about your [[survival]] depends not so much on the [[theories]] of your [[beliefs]] as upon your [[decisions]], [[determinations]], and [[steadfast]] [[faith]]. All these movements of [[personality]] [[growth]] become powerful [[influences]] aiding in your advancement because they help you to [[co-operate]] with the [[Adjuster]]; they [[assist]] you in ceasing to [[resist]]. [[Thought Adjuster]]s succeed or apparently fail in their [[terrestrial]] undertakings just in so far as [[mortals]] succeed or fail to [[co-operate]] with the [[scheme]] whereby they are to be advanced along the [[ascending]] path of [[perfection]] [[attainment]]. The [[secret]] of [[survival]] is wrapped up in the [[supreme]] [[human]] [[desire]] to be Godlike and in the [[associated]] willingness to do and be any and all things which are [[essential]] to the final [[attainment]] of that overmastering [[desire]].

110:3.3 When we speak of an Adjuster's success or failure, we are speaking in terms of human survival. Adjusters never fail; they are of the divine essence, and they always emerge triumphant in each of their undertakings.

110:3.4 I cannot but observe that so many of you spend so much time and thought on mere trifles of living, while you almost wholly overlook the more essential realities of everlasting import, those very accomplishments which are concerned with the development of a more harmonious working agreement between you and your Adjusters. The great goal of human existence is to attune to the divinity of the indwelling Adjuster; the great achievement of mortal life is the attainment of a true and understanding consecration to the eternal aims of the divine spirit who waits and works within your mind. But a devoted and determined effort to realize eternal destiny is wholly compatible with a light-hearted and joyous life and with a successful and honorable career on earth. Co-operation with the Thought Adjuster does not entail self-torture, mock piety, or hypocritical and ostentatious self-abasement; the ideal life is one of loving service rather than an existence of fearful apprehension.

110:3.5 Confusion, being puzzled, even sometimes discouraged and distracted, does not necessarily signify resistance to the leadings of the indwelling Adjuster. Such attitudes may sometimes connote lack of active co-operation with the divine Monitor and may, therefore, somewhat delay spiritual progress, but such intellectual emotional difficulties do not in the least interfere with the certain survival of the God-knowing soul. Ignorance alone can never prevent survival; neither can confusional doubts nor fearful uncertainty. Only conscious resistance to the Adjuster's leading can prevent the survival of the evolving immortal soul.

110:3.6 You must not regard co-operation with your Adjuster as a particularly conscious process, for it is not; but your motives and your decisions, your faithful determinations and your supreme desires, do constitute real and effective co-operation. You can consciously augment Adjuster harmony by:
