Relation of Adjusters to Universe Creatures

109:3.1The char­ac­ter of the de­tailed work of Mys­tery Mon­i­tors varies in ac­cor­dance with the na­ture of their as­sign­ments, as to whether or not they are li­ai­son or fu­sion Ad­justers. Some Ad­justers are merely loaned for the tem­po­ral life­times of their sub­jects; oth­ers are be­stowed as per­son­al­ity can­di­dates with per­mis­sion for ev­er­last­ing fu­sion if their sub­jects sur­vive. There is also a slight vari­a­tion in their work among the dif­fer­ent plan­e­tary types as well as in dif­fer­ent sys­tems and uni­verses. But, on the whole, their labors are re­mark­ably uni­form, more so than are the du­ties of any of the cre­ated or­ders of ce­les­tial be­ings.

109:3.2On cer­tain prim­i­tive worlds (the se­ries one group) the Ad­juster in­dwells the mind of the crea­ture as an ex­pe­ri­en­tial train­ing, chiefly for self-cul­ture and pro­gres­sive de­vel­op­ment. Vir­gin Ad­justers are usu­ally sent to such worlds dur­ing the ear­lier times when prim­i­tive men are ar­riv­ing in the val­ley of de­ci­sion, but when com­par­a­tively few will elect to as­cend the moral heights be­yond the hills of self-mas­tery and char­ac­ter ac­quire­ment to at­tain the higher lev­els of emerg­ing spir­i­tu­al­ity. (Many, how­ever, who fail of Ad­juster fu­sion do sur­vive as Spirit-fused as­cend­ers.) The Ad­justers re­ceive valu­able train­ing and ac­quire won­der­ful ex­pe­ri­ence in tran­sient as­so­ci­a­tion with prim­i­tive minds, and they are able sub­se­quently to uti­lize this ex­pe­ri­ence for the ben­e­fit of su­pe­rior be­ings on other worlds. Noth­ing of sur­vival value is ever lost in all the wide uni­verse.

109:3.3On an­other type of world (the se­ries two group) the Ad­justers are merely loaned to mor­tal be­ings. Here the Mon­i­tors can never at­tain fu­sion per­son­al­ity through such in­dwelling, but they do af­ford great help to their hu­man sub­jects dur­ing the mor­tal life­time, far more than they are able to give to Uran­tia mor­tals. The Ad­justers are here loaned to the mor­tal crea­tures for a sin­gle life span as pat­terns for their higher spir­i­tual at­tain­ment, tem­po­rary helpers in the in­trigu­ing task of per­fect­ing a sur­vival char­ac­ter. The Ad­justers do not re­turn af­ter nat­u­ral death; these sur­viv­ing mor­tals at­tain eter­nal life through Spirit fu­sion.

109:3.4On worlds such as Uran­tia (the se­ries three group) there is a real be­trothal with the di­vine gifts, a life and death en­gage­ment. If you sur­vive, there is to be an eter­nal union, an ev­er­last­ing fu­sion, the mak­ing of man and Ad­juster one be­ing.

109:3.5In the three-brained mor­tals of this se­ries of worlds, the Ad­justers are able to gain far more ac­tual con­tact with their sub­jects dur­ing the tem­po­ral life than in the one- and two-brained types. But in the ca­reer af­ter death, the three-brained type pro­ceed just as do the one-brained type and the two-brained peo­ples—the Uran­tia races.

109:3.6On the two-brain worlds, sub­se­quent to the so­journ of a Par­a­dise be­stowal Son, vir­gin Ad­justers are sel­dom as­signed to per­sons who have un­ques­tioned ca­pac­ity for sur­vival. It is our be­lief that on such worlds prac­ti­cally all Ad­justers in­dwelling in­tel­li­gent men and women of sur­vival ca­pac­ity be­long to the ad­vanced or to the su­preme type.

109:3.7In many of the early evo­lu­tion­ary races of Uran­tia, three groups of be­ings ex­isted. There were those who were so an­i­mal­is­tic that they were ut­terly lack­ing in Ad­juster ca­pac­ity. There were those who ex­hib­ited un­doubted ca­pac­ity for Ad­justers and promptly re­ceived them when the age of moral re­spon­si­bil­ity was at­tained. There was a third class who oc­cu­pied a bor­der­line po­si­tion; they had ca­pac­ity for Ad­juster re­cep­tion, but the Mon­i­tors could only in­dwell the mind on the per­sonal pe­ti­tion of the in­di­vid­ual.

109:3.8But with those be­ings who are vir­tu­ally dis­qual­i­fied for sur­vival by dis­in­her­i­tance through the agency of un­fit and in­fe­rior an­ces­tors, many a vir­gin Ad­juster has served a valu­able pre­lim­i­nary ex­pe­ri­ence in con­tact­ing evo­lu­tion­ary mind and thus has be­come bet­ter qual­i­fied for a sub­se­quent as­sign­ment to a higher type of mind on some other world.
