A: You are [[conscious]] now of [[influence]], correct? (Yes) This influence will extend. [[Fear]] not. You mustn't think that you must be [[perfect]]. This is impossible, and this is [[understood]]. Only the [[desire]] to become as [[God]] is, to allow His [[being]] to make your [[uniqueness]] more [[real]] and unique. This does not require [[conformity]], but rather [[extreme]] [[individuality]], to be who you really are, and to [[realize]] who you really are, more and more, day by day. This [[unique]] [[reality]] will naturally be [[attractive]]. We ask nothing of anyone but that.

*Truth
 
===Lesson===
 
===Lesson===
I wish to speak again concerning truth. I have spoken to you of truth in the past, and now I wish to extend the lesson. Truth is ever abiding, that is, it is eternal. We may know truth in fragments, in partial shadow, in lines which fade and grow dark. The truth I speak of today is the truth of the one eternal Father. His truth passes not away, nor is it true for a time. His truth is ever abiding and true for all time. Of this truth, we may see but as a pinpoint of light the blazing glory which is His truth, yet that pinpoint of light is our guidance, is our hope, is the source of our destiny and the goal of the ages, for truth is an experience of the soul. It is that knowing sense of identification with reality. It is that shock of affirmation. It is that quiet glow of wisdom. Truth is light. Truth is spiritual light which forever banishes darkness. I repeat: truth is light which forever banishes darkness. There is no shadowy uncertainty in the truth. Truth is that light which forever banishes darkness.

Q: A few weeks ago someone asked a question about our Thought Adjusters when they are gone, and if our souls were inactive at the time, and you said "yes." Would you clarify? You talked about the growth in our souls. Would you clarify what kind of growth?

Q: A few weeks ago someone asked a [[question]] about our [[Thought Adjusters]] when they are gone, and if our [[souls]] were inactive at the time, and you said "yes." Would you [[clarify]]? You talked about the [[growth]] in our souls. Would you clarify what kind of growth?
   −
A: Yes. The soul is that living entity which is grown by the process of the Thought Adjuster's interaction with the personality, producing the real, living being, the personal self, or soul. The Thought Adjuster transcribes or takes the physical mind manifestation of a personal reality and creates from that its counterpart on the morontia level of reality, so that every true, meaningful, felt, thought reaction is made eternally real in the soul. The soul is indestructible and unassailable. It is real in a truer sense, a more lasting sense, than, say, your physical reality body. Your innermost, deepest, clearest, and truest reality that is you is contained within the soul. During the entire mortal life, the Thought Adjuster continually takes that which is best of you and reality-izes this into the soul, and it is this true you which survives the dissolution of the mortal body and which is once again personalized on the mansion worlds. This is the reality which, you would say, shines from within, that reality which you see in another's eyes, that reality which your soul feels in another, that reality which is spiritually responsive and knows because it is. It is by and through the soul that love is felt, that true values are known, and that progresses toward these alternate realities in that it makes these realities its own, reality-izes spiritual values and love. This growing entity-reality is felt most strongly in the heart center and seems to radiate outward from there, so that the work of the Thought Adjuster, this spiritual movement and becoming real of the person, is felt at the heart, so that the more the soul encompasses your total reality-self, grows, the more real and enduring is the individual person. On the contrary, the less a person grows spiritually you would say the heart hardens and becomes unresponsive to spiritual activity.

On the contrary, the less a person grows spiritually you would say the heart hardens and becomes unresponsive to [[spiritual]] [[activity]].

Q: Since I haven't read The [[Urantia Book]], could you tell me what is a [[Thought Adjuster]]?

Q: Since I haven't read The Urantia Book, could you tell me what is a Thought Adjuster?

A: Yes. On this world we refer to the spirit of God which resides in our [[minds]] as [[Thought Adjusters]]. These spirits are [[individual]] to each [[person]]. They are of [[God]] [[the Father]]. They are an individual [[fragment]] of His pure [[spirit]] [[self]]. They [[lead]] and [[guide]] individually each person on the road of life. They are [[the Father]] in a [[form]] where He may individually know each of His vast [[numbers]] of children so that he, [[personally]], can be with each. Each child, by their will, may [[choose]] to identify his or her will with the will of [[the Father]], and by so [[choosing]], in decision after decision, throughout life, the child increasingly becomes like the Father, so that "be you [[perfect]] even as the Father is perfect" becomes a [[command]] to [[know]] God, to [[love]] Him, and to [[identify]] yourself with Him. The only active means that this becomes a [[reality]] is by [[choosing]] in our decisions in our daily life "It is my will that your will be done, it is my will that your will be done." In so identifying of the [[two]] [[Free will|will]]s as [[one]], the child and [[the Father]] come together increasingly to the point of complete [[cohesion]] or [[fusion]], and at this [[point]], eternal life is [[assured]]. The two become one, completely. There is no [[separation]] any more. This [[normally]] happens in the life beyond this life, but the beginnings of this [[process]] occur in this. If such complete [[fusion]] of the infinite eternal [[God]] with the [[mortal]] [[finite]] child occurs during mortal life, the child is [[immediately]], or rather, the new person, is immediately [[translated]] onto a [[mansion world]] and the body, mortal body, is consumed by the [[energy]] involved. However, this is very rare on this world at this time.
