Thought Adjuster: “There are many important [[changes]] in anyone’s life that can take place in an instant. Just a simple [[decision]] can [[transform]] the way in which you behave or the way in which you [[react]] to the circumstances of your life.
“Your [[scientists]] are beginning to notice the [[power]] [[the mind]] has in dominating [[behaviors]], [[habits]] and even that which you call ‘[[personality]].’ You tend to confuse human tendencies and learned behaviors with personality. However personality is the pure and original [[expression]] of your [[being]], provided by [[the Father]] to all His personal creatures. Personality is that part of you that remains unchanged and [[survives]] beyond your material [[body]]. Therefore, your personality never changes, but with [[time]] and with the help of the will of each creature, it will [[progressively]] be more fully revealed.
“The other [[attributes]] that are often confused with personality are the [[attitudes]] and behaviors learned in [[this world]]. The way in which you [[react]] to stimuli, the ways in which you relate to your peers, and the habits you [[develop]], are just ‘things’ you have gotten used to and you have promoted by allowing yourself to react without [[thinking]] in a specific way and in recurring situations.
“Many among you believe that ‘this is how I am and I will never [[change]].’ Know that within you resides the source to [[inspire]] the greatest changes and even the things more deeply embedded in [[your mind]] can be left behind just by a simple act of will. Many have been able to overcome [[addictions]] to drugs or alcohol even when at the start their physical bodies suffered greatly. These deep and permanent changes can indeed begin in a mere [[instant]].
“Today, if you are [[struggling]] with a [[weakness]] or a [[habit]] that you want to remove from your being, you can do two things: Firstly, ask [[your Father]] for help so you can keep alive within you the flame of your [[desire]] to be better. Secondly, behave as if you have already overcome the [[habit]] that concerns you. [[Imagine]] that you don’t need any more ‘that thing’ that moves you apart from your true being and on this day begin to act like a true son or daughter of God.
“The most [[primitive]] part of your [[nervous system]] always responds to the [[impulses]] of the higher [[brain]], and it can’t tell the difference between [[pretending]] and [[feeling]]. If you [[imagine]] that you are in [[control]] of your mind and your faculties, you will be in control. Even if you [[feel]] that you are only pretending, your body will respond to the commands of your mind as if this were already a [[fact]]. It has been shown that some people can even change their [[hormonal]] secretions simply by using their imagination. Imagine that right now you are savoring your favorite [[food]] and your salivary glands will start to work just as if you have the food in front of you. [[The mind]] controls the [[body]] and you control the mind.
===Closing===
“And this is just the beginning. There are many [[abilities]] to your mind that are not yet used. You have the capacity to heal many of your so-called [[diseases]] and [[afflictions]] through the control of your mind. This control is nothing [[esoteric]] and you don’t need any special [[training]]. It is just a form of [[self-mastery]], in which you learn to use your mind to produce only [[thoughts]] that are expressions of [[truth, beauty and goodness]]. Better yet, you can elevate your entire life to increasing levels of [[perfection]] and [[divinity]], when you [[consecrate]] the domain of your mind to the guidance of the Divine Presence within you — the [[Thought Adjuster]] — thereby becoming more akin to [[your Father]].”
