Preamble:  In the “voice” series an Adjuster said this: “Spirit truly desires to lead the way, to create an opening for you to lead you into an exercise of greater insight, greater understanding, to have you access the courage which is within you.” You spoke of “rightmindedness” which we believe results from attunement to the Father, and that it is this which collectively leads to the eras of Light and Life on a planet.

Question#3: How does God lead the way to change minds to adopt right-mindedness?  Is the word “adopt” the right word when the change to right-mindedness is achieved?  Or is right-mindedness the result of an act of will that is irreversible?

Question #4: Becoming right-minded takes a lot of work on the human part since we believe that to change the mind we have to have a reason to make the change.  What does spirit do which acts to help move minds toward the light, especially right-mindedness?

Monjoronson:  Much of what you have stated that places context for these questions are true and valuable to the human being.  Let me add to this context a condition to the term “right-mindedness”. Right-mindedness is not simply a state of being that you attain.  It is an orientation of mind which facilitates growth.  When the divine spirit, the Thought Adjuster, draws upon you to lead you to elevate you in soul consciousness, right-mindedness is the ability to respond, to perceive, to assimilate, and to enact what the Divine Spirit is bringing into you.  There is no established state of right-mindedness; it is a continuous condition and, as you mentioned the phrase, “I am willing, Father, to do your will” is right-minded orientation.

You know that the needle of the compass points north, that you may spin the case within which the needle resides to make it appear to point south, west, or north based upon the layout.  Nonetheless the compass needle is pointing true north.  When one is so spiritually oriented they have right-mindedness.  They orient to the discernment of truth continually regardless of ones level of enlightenment.

I will also make one more analogy.  The wind may be likened to the force of the Divine Spirit within you drawing you toward God on Paradise.  Right-mindedness is the willingness to turn and go with that wind somewhat like would a weather vane or a sail.  My illustration here is to emphasize that the attainment, that is, the ongoing condition of right-mindedness, is as simple as the turning of the weather vane in the direction of the wind.  It is far more difficult to resist and point another way.

Be not concerned that right-mindedness must be an adherence to guidelines of behavior, to social standards, or those of religious institutions, or the understanding of scriptural teachings.  It is simply your ability to orient and move toward the higher levels of living that will bring you to Light and Life.

Question #5: In the same session you reminded the audience that: “Each and every one of you who sojourns with this divine component of the self, the Adjuster, makes one an island of stability when all things seem to shift, and as such an island of stability you become positioned to have a great impact and effect on the pattern of shift that occurs around you.”  We ask: Is it the Adjuster alone who takes responsibility for the shift to rightmindedness?  Or may we say that the presence of a Paradise Son also contributes in great ways to help us shift to this type of thinking?

Monjoronson:  All beings including your own attending angels work in harmony and assist one another.  As regards your own personal spiritual well-being, it is the Thought Adjuster who is in full charge.  Those of us in proximity are attending to the task that this divine spirit is working to accomplish.  If there are external conditions, social environs, workplace, world conflicts, or the like, we have broader range of function under our own power of will.

If I may return to the idea of the compass, we will do what we can to turn the casing so that the N of north aligns with the needle that points the true way.  Your right-mindedness again is to follow that magnetic pole of the divine spirit.  It will assist those around you to realize they must shift their orientation, and we will do what we can within your environment to assist that shift of consciousness.

Question #6:  What is the most basic, foundational change to life on Urantia that must be put into place for the Correcting Time to be successful?  Is achieving right-mindedness where it should start?  Or is it something even more basic than that?

Monjoronson:  As regards the individual’s right-mindedness, it’s a proper way of looking at what will assist the world.  But this planet in particular has a great lesson to learn as of yet, and that is the ability to live in harmony with one another.  This entails learning to address differences of viewpoint with care and compassion for one another in a sincere desire to bring the greatest good for all.  Human beings are wired to have a broad range of viewpoints, for that stimulates the growth of each one.  But your world currently engages all too often in forcing the orientation of one perspective upon others or excluding others from that orientation.

There will come a time when, and I say figuratively speaking, the skies will open and you will be introduced to your cosmic brothers and sisters from afar or from a dimension above.  The time now is to learn to cooperate with yourselves; it’s a basic lesson; it’s a kindergarten level of social behavior.  Then you will be prepared for the embrace of your higher brothers and sisters.  You will not be visited until you learn this lesson, for we wish to spare you the embarrassment for not having come prepared.  So I am here and hosts of ministering spirits dwell upon your world to take your hand and show you the way.  If you take our hands, that is rightmindedness.  As you step, that is also that same willingness; when you step we go forward.

I appreciate your interest in my answers to your questions.  I am ever thankful for your being so willing to address me.  I can only offer you words designed to assist you.  But the true work is in your lap, and that is for you to derive the insight and the comprehension you can as these responses are integrated into your personal lives and your personal comprehension.
