Paper 107

Origin and Nature of Thought Adjusters

Solitary Messenger

3. The Divinington Home of Adjusters

107:3.1All uni­verse ac­tiv­i­ties re­lated to the dis­patch, man­age­ment, di­rec­tion, and re­turn of the Mys­tery Mon­i­tors from ser­vice in all of the seven super­uni­verses seem to be cen­tered on the sa­cred sphere of Di­vin­ing­ton. As far as I know, none but Ad­justers and other en­ti­ties of the Fa­ther have been on that sphere. It seems likely that nu­mer­ous un­re­vealed preper­sonal en­ti­ties share Di­vin­ing­ton as a home sphere with the Ad­justers. We con­jec­ture that these fel­low en­ti­ties may in some man­ner be as­so­ci­ated with the pres­ent and fu­ture min­istry of the Mys­tery Mon­i­tors. But we re­ally do not know.

107:3.2When Thought Ad­justers re­turn to the Fa­ther, they go back to the realm of sup­posed ori­gin, Di­vin­ing­ton; and prob­a­bly as a part of this ex­pe­ri­ence, there is ac­tual con­tact with the Fa­ther’s Par­a­dise per­son­al­ity as well as with the spe­cial­ized man­i­fes­ta­tion of the Fa­ther’s di­vin­ity which is re­ported to be sit­u­ated on this se­cret sphere.

107:3.3Al­though we know some­thing of all the seven se­cret spheres of Par­a­dise, we know less of Di­vin­ing­ton than of the oth­ers. Be­ings of high spir­i­tual or­ders re­ceive only three di­vine in­junc­tions, and they are:

107:3.41. Al­ways to show ad­e­quate re­spect for the ex­pe­ri­ence and en­dow­ments of their se­niors and su­pe­ri­ors.

107:3.52. Al­ways to be con­sid­er­ate of the lim­i­ta­tions and in­ex­pe­ri­ence of their ju­niors and sub­or­di­nates.

107:3.63. Never to at­tempt a land­ing on the shores of Di­vin­ing­ton.

107:3.7I have of­ten re­flected that it would be quite use­less for me to go to Di­vin­ing­ton; I prob­a­bly should be un­able to see any res­i­dent be­ings ex­cept such as the Per­son­al­ized Ad­justers, and I have seen them else­where. I am very sure there is noth­ing on Di­vin­ing­ton of real value or profit to me, noth­ing es­sen­tial to my growth and de­vel­op­ment, or I should not have been for­bid­den to go there.

107:3.8Since we can learn lit­tle or noth­ing of the na­ture and ori­gin of Ad­justers from Di­vin­ing­ton, we are com­pelled to gather in­for­ma­tion from a thou­sand and one dif­fer­ent sources, and it is nec­es­sary to as­sem­ble, as­so­ciate, and cor­re­late this ac­cu­mu­lated data in or­der that such knowl­edge may be in­for­ma­tive.

107:3.9The valor and wis­dom ex­hib­ited by Thought Ad­justers sug­gest that they have un­der­gone a train­ing of tremen­dous scope and range. Since they are not per­son­al­i­ties, this train­ing must be im­parted in the ed­u­ca­tional in­sti­tu­tions of Di­vin­ing­ton. The unique Per­son­al­ized Ad­justers no doubt con­sti­tute the per­son­nel of the Ad­juster train­ing schools of Di­vin­ing­ton. And we do know that this cen­tral and super­vis­ing corps is pre­sided over by the now Per­son­al­ized Ad­juster of the first Par­a­dise Son of the Mi­chael or­der to com­plete his sev­en­fold be­stowal upon the races and peo­ples of his uni­verse realms.

107:3.10We re­ally know very lit­tle about the non­per­son­al­ized Ad­justers; we only con­tact and com­mu­ni­cate with the per­son­al­ized or­ders. These are chris­tened on Di­vin­ing­ton and are al­ways known by name and not by num­ber. The Per­son­al­ized Ad­justers are per­ma­nently domi­ciled on Di­vin­ing­ton; that sa­cred sphere is their home. They go out from that abode only by the will of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther. Very few are found in the do­mains of the lo­cal uni­verses, but larger num­bers are pres­ent in the cen­tral uni­verse.
