Relation of Adjusters to Universe Creatures

109:2.1You have been in­formed of the clas­si­fi­ca­tion of Ad­justers in re­la­tion to ex­pe­ri­ence—vir­gin, ad­vanced, and su­preme. You should also rec­og­nize a cer­tain func­tional clas­si­fi­ca­tion—the self-act­ing Ad­justers. A self-act­ing Ad­juster is one who:

109:2.21. Has had cer­tain req­ui­site ex­pe­ri­ence in the evolv­ing life of a will crea­ture, ei­ther as a tem­po­rary in­dweller on a type of world where Ad­justers are only loaned to mor­tal sub­jects or on an ac­tual fu­sion planet where the hu­man failed of sur­vival. Such a Mon­i­tor is ei­ther an ad­vanced or a su­preme Ad­juster.

109:2.32. Has ac­quired the bal­ance of spir­i­tual power in a hu­man who has made the third psy­chic cir­cle and has had as­signed to him a per­sonal se­raphic guard­ian.

109:2.43. Has a sub­ject who has made the su­preme de­ci­sion, has en­tered into a solemn and sin­cere be­trothal with the Ad­juster. The Ad­juster looks be­fore­hand to the time of ac­tual fu­sion and reck­ons the union as an event of fact.

109:2.54. Has a sub­ject who has been mus­tered into one of the re­serve corps of des­tiny on an evo­lu­tion­ary world of mor­tal as­cen­sion.

109:2.65. At some time, dur­ing hu­man sleep, has been tem­porar­ily de­tached from the mind of mor­tal in­car­cer­a­tion to per­form some ex­ploit of li­ai­son, con­tact, rereg­is­tra­tion, or other ex­trahu­man ser­vice as­so­ci­ated with the spir­i­tual ad­min­is­tra­tion of the world of as­sign­ment.

109:2.76. Has served in a time of cri­sis in the ex­pe­ri­ence of some hu­man be­ing who was the ma­te­rial com­ple­ment of a spirit per­son­al­ity in­trusted with the en­act­ment of some cos­mic achieve­ment es­sen­tial to the spir­i­tual econ­omy of the planet.

109:2.8Self-act­ing Ad­justers seem to pos­sess a marked de­gree of will in all mat­ters not in­volv­ing the hu­man per­son­al­i­ties of their im­me­di­ate in­dwelling, as is in­di­cated by their nu­mer­ous ex­ploits both within and with­out the mor­tal sub­jects of at­tach­ment. Such Ad­justers par­tic­i­pate in nu­mer­ous ac­tiv­i­ties of the realm, but more fre­quently they func­tion as un­de­tected in­dwellers of the earthly taber­na­cles of their own choos­ing.

109:2.9Un­doubt­edly these higher and more ex­pe­ri­enced types of Ad­justers can com­mu­ni­cate with those in other realms. But while self-act­ing Ad­justers do thus in­ter­com­mu­ni­cate, they do so only on the lev­els of their mu­tual work and for the pur­pose of pre­serv­ing cus­to­dial data es­sen­tial to the Ad­juster min­istry of the realms of their so­journ, though on oc­ca­sions they have been known to func­tion in in­ter­plan­e­tary mat­ters dur­ing times of cri­sis.

109:2.10Su­preme and self-act­ing Ad­justers can leave the hu­man body at will. The in­dwellers are not an or­ganic or bi­o­logic part of mor­tal life; they are di­vine super­im­po­si­tions thereon. In the orig­i­nal life plans they were pro­vided for, but they are not in­dis­pens­able to ma­te­rial ex­is­tence. Nev­er­the­less it should be re­corded that they very rarely, even tem­porar­ily, leave their mor­tal taber­na­cles af­ter they once take up their in­dwelling.

109:2.11The super­act­ing Ad­justers are those who have achieved the con­quest of their in­trusted tasks and only await the dis­so­lu­tion of the ma­te­rial-life ve­hi­cle or the trans­la­tion of the im­mor­tal soul.
