Mission and Ministry of Thought Adjusters

108:2.1Though the Ad­justers vol­un­teer for ser­vice as soon as the per­son­al­ity fore­casts have been re­layed to Di­vin­ing­ton, they are not ac­tu­ally as­signed un­til the hu­man sub­jects make their first moral per­son­al­ity de­ci­sion. The first moral choice of the hu­man child is au­to­mat­i­cally in­di­cated in the sev­enth mind-ad­ju­tant and reg­is­ters in­stantly, by way of the lo­cal uni­verse Cre­ative Spirit, over the uni­ver­sal mind-grav­ity cir­cuit of the Con­joint Ac­tor in the pres­ence of the Mas­ter Spirit of super­uni­verse ju­ris­dic­tion, who forth­with dis­patches this in­tel­li­gence to Di­vin­ing­ton. Ad­justers reach their hu­man sub­jects on Uran­tia, on the av­er­age, just prior to the sixth birth­day. In the pres­ent gen­er­a­tion it is run­ning five years, ten months, and four days; that is, on the 2,134^th day of ter­res­trial life.

108:2.2The Ad­justers can­not in­vade the mor­tal mind un­til it has been duly pre­pared by the in­dwelling min­istry of the ad­ju­tant mind-spir­its and en­cir­cuited in the Holy Spirit. And it re­quires the co-or­di­nate func­tion of all seven ad­ju­tants to thus qual­ify the hu­man mind for the re­cep­tion of an Ad­juster. Crea­ture mind must ex­hibit the wor­ship out­reach and in­di­cate wis­dom func­tion by ex­hibit­ing the abil­ity to choose be­tween the emerg­ing val­ues of good and evil—moral choice.

108:2.3Thus is the stage of the hu­man mind set for the re­cep­tion of Ad­justers, but as a gen­eral rule they do not im­me­di­ately ap­pear to in­dwell such minds ex­cept on those worlds where the Spirit of Truth is func­tion­ing as a spir­i­tual co-or­di­na­tor of these dif­fer­ent spirit min­istries. If this spirit of the be­stowal Sons is pres­ent, the Ad­justers un­fail­ingly come the in­stant the sev­enth ad­ju­tant mind-spirit be­gins to func­tion and sig­nal­izes to the Uni­verse Mother Spirit that it has achieved in po­ten­tial the co-or­di­na­tion of the as­so­ci­ated six ad­ju­tants of prior min­istry to such a mor­tal in­tel­lect. There­fore have the di­vine Ad­justers been uni­ver­sally be­stowed upon all nor­mal minds of moral sta­tus on Uran­tia ever since the day of Pen­te­cost.

108:2.4Even with a Spirit of Truth en­dowed mind, the Ad­justers can­not ar­bi­trar­ily in­vade the mor­tal in­tel­lect prior to the ap­pear­ance of moral de­ci­sion. But when such a moral de­ci­sion has been made, this spirit helper as­sumes ju­ris­dic­tion di­rect from Di­vin­ing­ton. There are no in­ter­me­di­aries or other in­ter­ven­ing au­thor­i­ties or pow­ers func­tion­ing be­tween the di­vine Ad­justers and their hu­man sub­jects; God and man are di­rectly re­lated.

108:2.5Be­fore the times of the pour­ing out of the Spirit of Truth upon the in­hab­i­tants of an evo­lu­tion­ary world, the Ad­justers’ be­stowal ap­pears to be de­ter­mined by many spirit in­flu­ences and per­son­al­ity at­ti­tudes. We do not fully com­pre­hend the laws gov­ern­ing such be­stowals; we do not un­der­stand just what de­ter­mines the re­lease of the Ad­justers who have vol­un­teered to in­dwell such evolv­ing minds. But we do ob­serve nu­mer­ous in­flu­ences and con­di­tions which ap­pear to be as­so­ci­ated with the ar­rival of the Ad­justers in such minds prior to the be­stowal of the Spirit of Truth, and they are:

108:2.61. The as­sign­ment of per­sonal se­raphic guard­i­ans. If a mor­tal has not been pre­vi­ously in­dwelt by an Ad­juster, the as­sign­ment of a per­sonal guard­ian brings the Ad­juster forth­with. There ex­ists some very def­i­nite but un­known re­la­tion be­tween the min­istry of Ad­justers and the min­istry of per­sonal se­raphic guard­i­ans.

108:2.72. The at­tain­ment of the third cir­cle of in­tel­lec­tual achieve­ment and spir­i­tual at­tain­ment. I have ob­served Ad­justers ar­rive in mor­tal minds upon the con­quest of the third cir­cle even be­fore such an ac­com­plish­ment could be sig­nal­ized to the lo­cal uni­verse per­son­al­i­ties con­cerned with such mat­ters.

108:2.83. Upon the mak­ing of a su­preme de­ci­sion of un­usual spir­i­tual im­port. Such hu­man be­hav­ior in a per­sonal plan­e­tary cri­sis usu­ally is at­tended by the im­me­di­ate ar­rival of the wait­ing Ad­juster.

108:2.94. The spirit of broth­er­hood. Re­gard­less of the at­tain­ment of the psy­chic cir­cles and the as­sign­ment of per­sonal guard­i­ans—in the ab­sence of any­thing re­sem­bling a cri­sis de­ci­sion—when an evolv­ing mor­tal be­comes dom­i­nated by the love of his fel­lows and con­se­crated to un­selfish min­istry to his breth­ren in the flesh, the wait­ing Ad­juster un­vary­ingly de­scends to in­dwell the mind of such a mor­tal min­is­ter.

108:2.105. Dec­la­ra­tion of in­ten­tion to do the will of God. We ob­serve that many mor­tals on the worlds of space may be ap­par­ently in readi­ness to re­ceive Ad­justers, and yet the Mon­i­tors do not ap­pear. We go on watch­ing such crea­tures as they live from day to day, and pres­ently they qui­etly, al­most un­con­sciously, ar­rive at the de­ci­sion to be­gin the pur­suit of the do­ing of the will of the Fa­ther in heaven. And then we ob­serve the im­me­di­ate dis­patch of the Thought Ad­justers.

108:2.116. In­flu­ence of the Su­preme Be­ing. On worlds where the Ad­justers do not fuse with the evolv­ing souls of the mor­tal in­hab­i­tants, we ob­serve Ad­justers some­times be­stowed in re­sponse to in­flu­ences which are wholly be­yond our com­pre­hen­sion. We con­jec­ture that such be­stowals are de­ter­mined by some cos­mic re­flex ac­tion orig­i­nat­ing in the Su­preme Be­ing. As to why these Ad­justers can not or do not fuse with these cer­tain types of evolv­ing mor­tal minds we do not know. Such trans­ac­tions have never been re­vealed to us.
