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 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:
*1. 110:3.7 ''[[Choosing]] to [[respond]] to [[divine]] [[leading]]''; sincerely basing the human life on the highest [[consciousness]] of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_56#56:10._TRUTH.2C_BEAUTY.2C_AND_GOODNESS truth, beauty, and goodness], and then [[co-ordinating]] these qualities of [[divinity]] through [[wisdom]], [[worship]], [[faith]], and [[love]].
*2. 110:3.8 ''Loving [[God]] and [[desiring]] to be like him''—genuine [[recognition]] of the [[divine]] [[fatherhood]] and loving [[worship]] of the heavenly [[Parent]].
*3. 110:3.9 ''Loving man and [[sincerely]] [[desiring]] to serve him''—wholehearted [[recognition]] of the brotherhood of man coupled with an [[intelligent]] and [[wise]] [[affection]] for each of your fellow [[mortals]].
*4. 110:3.10 ''[[Joyful]] [[acceptance]] of [[cosmic]] [[citizenship]]''—[[honest]] [[recognition]] of your [[progressive]] [[obligations]] to the [[Supreme Being]], [[awareness]] of the [[interdependence]] of evolutionary man and evolving [[Deity]]. This is the [[birth]] of [[cosmic]] [[morality]] and the dawning [[realization]] of [[universal]] [[duty]].
