Midwayer Thomas: “[[Communication]] with your [[Spirit Within]] is not an easy accomplishment. Urantians are rather [[dominated]] by the [[material]] energies — rather than the [[spiritual]] ones — due the incomplete upstepping of the [[Paper 66|first]] and [[Paper 73|second bestowals]]. Besides, the spiritual [[consciousness]] on your planet is still very low, although improved after [[Part 4|Christ Michael’s Bestowal]] and the ample distribution of the [[Spirit of Truth]] and the [[Adjusters]]. Superior spiritual [[attunement]] is not only [[necessary]] for the satisfactory reception of your Adjuster’s leading as well as the putting in place of those conditions that may make possible the spiritual [[fusion]] with Him, even here on [[Urantia]]. Upon your request, I will mention three elements that can contribute to reaching this desirable readiness.”

*'''1) Real Purity'''
“The main [[obstacle]] to attaining that [[communion]] with your [[Adjuster]] is the lack of spiritual commonness as the basis for a good communication. Your Spirit Within’s [[essence]] is a pure spirit from the highest [[quality]] (Father’s) that may be found in all universes. Your [[spirituality]] comes from His ministration to [[your soul]] (your [[morontia self]]) and from the [[steadfast]] [[determination]] of your Human [[Self]] [[doing the will of the Father]]. If your determination in doing the will of the Father is not dominant over your [[Self]], your soul will not [[mature]] enough to receive and exercise spiritual [[control]] over your life. A spiritual craving for doing the will of God is the first and foremost requisite to actualize spiritual commonness with your Adjuster.”

*'''2) Effective Stillness'''
“[[Stillness]] is that meditative state acquired by the effective subjugation of your [[thought]] activity. It helps you to control your thoughts activity by subduing them with spiritual [[focalization]]. You have several spiritual sources in and with you; therefore, stillness is your attempt to focus on these spiritual [[resources]] (especially the [[Adjuster]]) and receive from them spiritual nourishment. By constant [[practice]], you may be able to [[experience]] not only that spiritual calmness but also open the spiritual [[channels]] that allow you to communicate with beings in extra-physical dimensions: [[midwayers]], [[morontia teachers]] (even the spiritual ones), [[angels]] and other spirit beings. To some, stillness is easier than it is to others, due to practice as well as to better [[hereditary]] strains, that is, those from the [[Nodite]] Bestowal and from the [[Paper 74|Adamic Bestowal]].”

*'''3) Actual Implementation'''
“[[Consecration]] (resolve) [[to do the will of God]] is essential for a better [[communication]] with your [[Adjuster]]. But doing the will of God is not only a mental or [[psychological]] [[decision]]. When the [[Spirit Within]] conveys to you the [[realization]] of the will of the Father, you ought to do it — follow through. It’s terribly detrimental to your spiritual [[development]] to indulge yourself in good decisions and not follow them trough. Let your [[actions]] match the perfect [[leading]] of the [[Spirit Within]]. When this does not happen, the whole situation may become a grievous [[experience]] for your Adjuster, that is, to notice that His or Her efforts in spiritualizing you are not being taken seriously.
===Closing===
“Therefore my [[friend]], here they are: three elements that will help you [[achieve]] better [[communication]] and [[communion]] with your [[Adjuster]] that lives within [[your mind]]. Interestingly, the Adjuster never stops communicating with you, always and ever sending out those leadings that portray to you the will of God. However, even His attempts to impress your [[consciousness]] through [[dreams]] and [[visions]] are most often [[distorted]] by your own thought [[interference]]. Stillness, supported by consecration and ready execution of the will of the Father will prove to be a better situation for you to realize and apply the spiritual leadings of your Spirit Within and, [[eventually]], to obtain Adjuster [[attunement]]. I am your [[midwayer]] friend of long ago, Thomas, very happy to attend to your call.”
