Thought Adjuster: “In the beginning, you start your [[journey]] of [[faith]] based on the [[truths]] you hear from others. However, even then there is something within you that responds and somehow [[confirms]] that those [[words]] you heard contain a hint of truth. That which is true and relevant for your life is always confirmed by the [[Spirit of Truth]] and preserved by your [[Thought Adjuster]] as a bona-fide spiritual experience.
“With [[time]], [[curiosity]] that [[inspires]] you to know more [[awakens]] in you — a [[hunger]] for [[truth]]. You continue searching and you find more answers to your questions. Soon you start to notice a [[pattern]], an [[invisible]] hand that guides your efforts, leading you to where you need to go in order to learn new and valuable lessons.
“Later a true [[desire]] for [[perfection]] arises in you and you will have the [[chance]] to decide that the best you can do with your life and that the most beneficial [[course]] of action for yourself is to attempt to know the [[will of the Father]] and [[express]] this will through your actions. This impulse to be better every day will [[transform]] you into a creature less material and more in sync with the next level of existence — the [[Morontia]] level.
“This will be a natural [[process]] — maybe you may see it as a slow process from your impatient human [[point of view]] — but the speed in which these stages are reached is not important, because in [[eternity]] time is truly irrelevant. Soon you will observe that this desire to be more [[like God]] becomes ever-present in your life and the need to be in [[communion]] with your Father — [[adoration]] — inspires you continuously to search for His voice in [[stillness]]. You will also notice how unconditional love starts to [[manifest]] through you to your siblings in this world, which is the definitive [[evidence]] of the fact that you will have found God.
“This is how a [[human being]] comes progressively closer to God and moves toward [[perfection]]. There are no [[shortcuts]] or important variations in this [[method]]. This is the way of true [[experience]]. The initial approach may be promoted in different ways and while some may follow the whispers of their [[Thought Adjuster]]s others may need to be shaken in order to awaken.
===Closing===
“You can’t try to [[love]] others without really knowing unconditional love and you can’t pretend to be [[perfect]] without having the [[inspiration]] of [[becoming]] like [[your Father]]. This would be like going to a new city to visit a friend without knowing where that person lives. Spiritual [[awakening]] is a slow and [[progressive]] road, but those who venture onto this road will find success if they have the [[courage]] to follow the [[guidance]] of the divine [[presence]] within them.”
