44:8.1 Although [[celestial]] [[artisans]] do not [[personally]] work on [[material]] [[planets]], such as [[Urantia]], they do come, from time to time, from the [[headquarters]] of [[the system]] to proffer help to the [[naturally]] [[gifted]] [[individuals]] of the [[mortal]] [[races]]. When thus assigned, these [[artisans]] temporarily [[work]] under the supervision of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_114#114:6._THE_MASTER_SERAPHIM_OF_PLANETARY_SUPERVISION planetary angels of progress].

44:8.2 There are [[three]] possible [[sources]] of special [[human]] [[ability]]: At the bottom always there [[exists]] the [[natural]] or [[inherent]] [[aptitude]]. Special [[ability]] is never an [[arbitrary]] gift of the [[Gods]]; there is always an [[ancestral]] [[foundation]] for every outstanding [[talent]]. In addition to this [[natural]] [[ability]], or rather supplemental thereto, there may be [[contributed]] the leadings of the [[Thought Adjuster]] in those [[individuals]] whose indwelling [[Adjusters]] may have had [[actual]] and [[bona fide]] [[experiences]] along such lines on other worlds and in other [[mortal]] [[creatures]]. In those cases where both the [[human]] [[mind]] and the [[indwelling Adjuster]] are unusually [[skillful]], the [[spirit]] [[artisans]] may be [[delegated]] to [[act]] as [[harmonizers]] of these [[talents]] and otherwise to [[assist]] and [[inspire]] these [[mortals]] to seek for ever-[[perfecting]] [[ideals]] and to attempt their enhanced portrayal for the edification of the realm.
44:8.3 There is no [[caste]] in the ranks of [[spirit]] [[artisans]].

The [[ascending]] [[morontia]]ns [[learn]] to [[socialize]] their former purely selfish longings and egoistic [[ambitions]]. Nevertheless, those [[things]] which you so [[earnestly]] longed to do on [[earth]] and which circumstances so [[persistently]] denied you, if, after acquiring true [[mota]] [[insight]] in the [[morontia]] [[career]], you still [[desire]] to do, then will you most certainly be granted every [[opportunity]] fully to [[satisfy]] your long-cherished [[desires]].
44:8.5 Before [[ascending mortals]] leave the [[local universe]] to embark upon their [[spirit]] [[careers]], they will be satiated respecting every [[intellectual]], [[artistic]], and [[social]] longing or true [[ambition]] which ever characterized their [[mortal]] or [[morontia]] [[planes]] of [[existence]]. This is the [[achievement]] of [[equality]] of the [[satisfaction]] of [[self]]-[[expression]] and [[self-realization]] but not the [[attainment]] of [[identical]] [[experiential]] [[status]] nor the complete obliteration of characteristic [[individuality]] in [[skill]], [[technique]], and [[expression]].
