Paper 107 Overview: Origin and Nature of Thought Adjusters

Thought Adjusters are the direct presence of the Universal Father dwelling within the minds of mortal beings throughout the inhabited worlds. These divine fragments represent God's personal participation in the evolutionary journey of every potential immortal soul, serving as the spiritual bridge between finite creatures and their infinite Creator. Their indwelling constitutes the greatest gift and most profound relationship possible between God and his mortal children, establishing the foundation for eventual eternal companionship.

The ministry of the Thought Adjusters enables the otherwise unreachable Paradise Father to maintain intimate contact with each mortal personality across the vast stretches of time and space. They function as spiritual compasses, consistently guiding human beings toward divine perfection while simultaneously gathering experiential knowledge of finite existence. Through their patient, loving guidance and eventual fusion with the ascending human soul, Adjusters facilitate the transformation of mortal creatures into immortal finaliters destined for eternal service throughout the universe.

The Universal Father, while personally resident on Paradise at the center of all creation, simultaneously maintains direct contact with his countless mortal children through the Mystery Monitors that indwell their minds. These Adjusters represent the incarnation of the Father's love within human souls and constitute the promise of an eternal career imprisoned within the mortal mind. They are the essence of humanity's perfected finaliter personality, which can be foretasted in time through progressive mastery of the divine will.

God, having commanded mortals to achieve perfection, has descended as the Adjuster to become humanity's experiential partner in achieving this seemingly impossible destiny. The indwelling fragment of God serves as absolute assurance that any person can find the Universal Father through cooperation with this divine gift. Consciousness of the Adjuster's presence equates to consciousness of God's presence, and the Adjuster creates within humans an unquenchable yearning to be like God and attain Paradise. The Adjuster represents the absolute essence of an infinite being temporarily confined within a finite mind, acting as humanity's infallible cosmic compass forever pointing the soul Godward.

Since Thought Adjusters emerge from the essence of original Deity, no one can claim complete authority when discussing their nature and origin. The information available comes primarily from the traditions of Salvington and the beliefs maintained on Uversa, providing only a limited understanding of these mysterious divine entities. What is universally accepted is that Adjusters proceed directly from the Universal Father as the First Source and Center, arriving as undiluted and unmixed divinity that constitutes the actual presence of the infinite God.

The time when Adjusters began their separate existences apart from the absoluteness of the First Source and Center remains unknown, as does their total number in existence. Little information exists about Adjuster careers before their arrival on evolutionary worlds to indwell human minds. It is generally assumed that Adjusters continue to be individualized as the universe expands and as candidates for Adjuster fusion increase, though this may be an incorrect attempt to assign numerical magnitude to potentially infinite entities. The technique of Adjuster origin is one of the unrevealed functions of the Universal Father, with no evidence that any of his absolute associates participate in their production.

Adjusters exist as individualized entities destined to become either liberated, fused, or Personalized Monitors. Seven distinct orders of Thought Adjusters have been identified, though the full nature of these divisions is not comprehensively understood. Virgin Adjusters serve on their initial assignments with evolutionary candidates for survival, beginning with uniform divine and experiential natures but later differentiating through actual universe ministry. Advanced Adjusters have previously served with will creatures on worlds where final fusion occurs between mortals and an individualized portion of the local universe manifestation of the Third Source and Center.

Supreme Adjusters have experienced the adventure of time on evolutionary worlds but whose human partners declined eternal survival, while Vanished Adjusters enter a mysterious fourth stage of service that might involve detached assignments throughout the universe or a period of refreshing association with the Father himself. The upper classifications include Liberated Adjusters eternally released from service to mortals, Fused Adjusters who have become one with ascending mortals, and Personalized Adjusters who have served with incarnated Paradise Sons or achieved unusual distinction during mortal indwelling. These classifications reflect different aspects of Adjuster development, assignment, and ultimate destiny within the grand universe.

All universe activities related to the dispatch, management, direction, and return of the Mystery Monitors appear to be centered on the sacred sphere of Divinington. As far as known, only Adjusters and other entities of the Father have visited this special world, which likely serves as home to numerous unrevealed prepersonal entities associated with the Adjusters' ministry. When Thought Adjusters return to the Father, they go back to Divinington, where they probably experience actual contact with both the Father's Paradise personality and a specialized manifestation of his divinity situated on this secret sphere.

High spiritual orders receive only three divine injunctions, with the third being an absolute prohibition against attempting to land on the shores of Divinington. This restriction applies even to beings who might otherwise have the capacity to travel there, suggesting the sacred and exclusive nature of this realm. In the absence of direct knowledge from Divinington, information about Adjusters must be gathered from thousands of different sources and carefully assembled to form a coherent picture. The Personalized Adjusters, especially the one who indwelt the first Paradise Son of the Michael order to complete his sevenfold bestowal, constitute the teaching corps that trains and prepares other Adjusters for their missions throughout the universes.

To identify a Thought Adjuster as divine simply acknowledges its origin directly from Deity. Such pure divinity likely encompasses the potential for all attributes of Deity that could be contained within a fragment of the universal presence of the Father. The actual source of the Adjuster must be infinite, and before fusion with an immortal soul, the Adjuster's reality approaches absoluteness within the limitations of its fragmented nature. While limited in extensiveness, Adjusters possess absolute intensity of meaning, value, and spiritual fact.

No Adjuster has ever displayed disloyalty to the Paradise Father, demonstrating a level of perfection and fidelity unmatched even among the highest orders of personal beings. Nonpersonalized Adjusters remain invisible to most beings except Personalized Adjusters, though certain orders like Solitary Messengers and Inspired Trinity Spirits can detect their presence through spiritual reactive phenomena. A characteristic spirit luminosity, sometimes called the "pilot light" or "light of life," accompanies the divine presence of Adjusters. Only those beings who have attained the Universal Father can directly perceive Personalized Thought Adjusters, who themselves exist as visible manifestations of an otherwise invisible divine presence.

Evolutionary mortals typically perceive mind as mediating between spirit and matter, fulfilling its primary discernible function. This makes it challenging for humans to understand that Thought Adjusters possess minds, as Adjusters exist on an absolute level of reality that predates the divergence of energy and spirit. On this monistic level, with no differentiation between energy and spirit, there could be no mediating function of mind since there are no divergences requiring mediation.

Adjusters demonstrate abilities to plan, work, and love, indicating they possess selfhood powers commensurate with mind. They enjoy unlimited ability to communicate with each other, excluding only the first or virgin groups, suggesting a form of mental function. The mindedness of Thought Adjusters resembles that of the Universal Father and Eternal Son, ancestral to the minds of the Conjoint Actor. When an Adjuster fuses with an evolving immortal soul, the Adjuster's mind cannot be separately identified until the ascending mortal progresses to spirit levels of universe advancement, at which point certain aspects of the mortal and Adjuster minds appear to transmute into a union that may contribute to the experiential endowment of evolutionary Deity.

In creature experience, Thought Adjusters manifest as spiritual presences and guiding influences. They are pure spirit, but also something more than exclusively spiritual reality. The Adjuster represents the eternity possibility for humans, while humans embody the personality possibility for the Adjuster. These divine fragments work tirelessly to spiritualize mortal minds with the hope of eternalizing temporal identity, motivated by their profound love for human beings and their desire to be delivered from the limitations of material existence.

While Adjusters are primarily spirit beings, they also possess factors of pure energy in addition to their spirit qualities. This helps explain why they can traverse space over the instantaneous universal gravity circuits of Paradise, a puzzling association with the material circuits of the universe. Despite using material-gravity circuits, Adjusters are not subject to them like material creation, as they are fragments of the ancestor of gravity rather than its consequentials. Thought Adjusters require no relaxation or energy intake from their bestowal until their release at the natural death of their mortal subjects—they themselves are energy of the highest and most divine order.

Thought Adjusters are not personalities, though they are truly and perfectly individualized entities. They represent true realities of the purest order known throughout the universes, existing as divine presences rather than personal beings. Though commonly referred to as beings or spirit entities because of their spiritual ministry to mortals, they lack the defining characteristics of true personality with its prerogatives of will and choice.

Despite not being personalities, Adjusters demonstrate volition by selecting mortal subjects, volunteering for indwelling, planning eternal careers, and adapting to circumstances. They show affection for mortals, function during universe crises, and act decisively in accordance with human choices—all behaviors suggesting genuine volition. This apparent contradiction is resolved by understanding that Adjuster volition, while absolute in nature, manifests on a prepersonal level. Throughout the cosmos, impersonal, subpersonal, and prepersonal entities consistently respond to the will of personality, explaining how Adjusters can exhibit choice-like behaviors while remaining technically prepersonal. No created beings would refuse to host these Mystery Monitors, but only evolutionary will creatures of finaliter destiny receive this divine indwelling.
