Mission and Ministry of Thought Adjusters

108:6.1It is in­deed a mar­vel of di­vine con­de­scen­sion for the ex­alted and per­fect Ad­justers to of­fer them­selves for ac­tual ex­is­tence in the minds of ma­te­rial crea­tures, such as the mor­tals of Uran­tia, re­ally to con­sum­mate a pro­ba­tion­ary union with the an­i­mal-ori­gin be­ings of earth.

108:6.2No mat­ter what the pre­vi­ous sta­tus of the in­hab­i­tants of a world, sub­se­quent to the be­stowal of a di­vine Son and af­ter the be­stowal of the Spirit of Truth upon all hu­mans, the Ad­justers flock to such a world to in­dwell the minds of all nor­mal will crea­tures. Fol­low­ing the com­ple­tion of the mis­sion of a Par­a­dise be­stowal Son, these Mon­i­tors truly be­come the “king­dom of heaven within you.” Through the be­stowal of the di­vine gifts the Fa­ther makes the clos­est pos­si­ble ap­proach to sin and evil, for it is lit­er­ally true that the Ad­juster must co­ex­ist in the mor­tal mind even in the very midst of hu­man un­righ­teous­ness. The in­dwelling Ad­justers are par­tic­u­larly tor­mented by those thoughts which are purely sor­did and self­ish; they are dis­tressed by ir­rev­er­ence for that which is beau­ti­ful and di­vine, and they are vir­tu­ally thwarted in their work by many of man’s fool­ish an­i­mal fears and child­ish anx­i­eties.

108:6.3The Mys­tery Mon­i­tors are un­doubt­edly the be­stowal of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther, the re­flec­tion of the im­age of God abroad in the uni­verse. A great teacher once ad­mon­ished men that they should be re­newed in the spirit of their minds; that they be­come new men who, like God, are cre­ated in righ­teous­ness and in the com­ple­tion of truth. The Ad­juster is the mark of di­vin­ity, the pres­ence of God. The “im­age of God” does not re­fer to phys­i­cal like­ness nor to the cir­cum­scribed lim­i­ta­tions of ma­te­rial crea­ture en­dow­ment but rather to the gift of the spirit pres­ence of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther in the su­per­nal be­stowal of the Thought Ad­justers upon the hum­ble crea­tures of the uni­verses.

108:6.4The Ad­juster is the well­spring of spir­i­tual at­tain­ment and the hope of di­vine char­ac­ter within you. He is the power, priv­i­lege, and the pos­si­bil­ity of sur­vival, which so fully and for­ever dis­tin­guishes you from mere an­i­mal crea­tures. He is the higher and truly in­ter­nal spir­i­tual stim­u­lus of thought in con­trast with the ex­ter­nal and phys­i­cal stim­u­lus, which reaches the mind over the nerve-en­ergy mech­a­nism of the ma­te­rial body.

108:6.5These faith­ful cus­to­di­ans of the fu­ture ca­reer un­fail­ingly du­pli­cate ev­ery men­tal cre­ation with a spir­i­tual coun­ter­part; they are thus slowly and surely re-cre­at­ing you as you re­ally are (only spir­i­tu­ally) for res­ur­rec­tion on the sur­vival worlds. And all of these ex­qui­site spirit re-cre­ations are be­ing pre­served in the emerg­ing re­al­ity of your evolv­ing and im­mor­tal soul, your mor­ontia self. These re­al­i­ties are ac­tu­ally there, not­with­stand­ing that the Ad­juster is sel­dom able to ex­alt these du­pli­cate cre­ations suf­fi­ciently to ex­hibit them to the light of con­scious­ness.

108:6.6And as you are the hu­man par­ent, so is the Ad­juster the di­vine par­ent of the real you, your higher and ad­vanc­ing self, your bet­ter mor­ontial and fu­ture spir­i­tual self. And it is this evolv­ing mor­ontial soul that the judges and cen­sors dis­cern when they de­cree your sur­vival and pass you up­ward to new worlds and never-end­ing ex­is­tence in eter­nal li­ai­son with your faith­ful part­ner—God, the Ad­juster.

108:6.7The Ad­justers are the eter­nal an­ces­tors, the di­vine orig­i­nals, of your evolv­ing im­mor­tal souls; they are the un­ceas­ing urge that leads man to at­tempt the mas­tery of the ma­te­rial and pres­ent ex­is­tence in the light of the spir­i­tual and fu­ture ca­reer. The Mon­i­tors are the pris­on­ers of undy­ing hope, the founts of ev­er­last­ing pro­gres­sion. And how they do en­joy com­mu­ni­cat­ing with their sub­jects in more or less di­rect chan­nels! How they re­joice when they can dis­pense with sym­bols and other meth­ods of in­di­rec­tion and flash their mes­sages straight to the in­tel­lects of their hu­man part­ners!

108:6.8You hu­mans have be­gun an end­less un­fold­ing of an al­most in­fi­nite pan­o­rama, a lim­it­less ex­pand­ing of never-end­ing, ever-widen­ing spheres of op­por­tu­nity for ex­hil­a­rat­ing ser­vice, match­less ad­ven­ture, sub­lime un­cer­tainty, and bound­less at­tain­ment. When the clouds gather over­head, your faith should ac­cept the fact of the pres­ence of the in­dwelling Ad­juster, and thus you should be able to look be­yond the mists of mor­tal un­cer­tainty into the clear shin­ing of the sun of eter­nal righ­teous­ness on the beck­on­ing heights of the man­sion worlds of Sa­ta­nia.
