But man does not passively, slavishly, surrender his will to the Adjuster. Rather does he actively, positively, and co-operatively choose to follow the Adjuster's leading when and as such leading consciously differs from the desires and impulses of the natural mortal mind. The Adjusters manipulate but never dominate man's mind against his will; to the Adjusters the human [[free will|will]] is supreme. And they so regard and respect it while they strive to achieve the spiritual goals of thought adjustment and [[character]] transformation in the almost limitless arena of the evolving human intellect.

Mind is your ship, the Adjuster is your pilot, the human will is captain. The master of the mortal vessel should have the wisdom to trust the divine pilot to guide the ascending soul into the morontia harbors of eternal survival. Only by selfishness, slothfulness, and sinfulness can the will of man reject the guidance of such a loving pilot and eventually wreck the mortal career upon the evil shoals of rejected [[mercy]] and upon the rocks of embraced sin. With your consent, this faithful pilot will safely carry you across the barriers of [[time]] and the handicaps of [[space]] to the very source of the [[divine]] mind and on beyond, even to the [[Paradise]] Father of Adjusters.
