Teacher: Thought Adjuster —
Spiritual insight is often a precursor to material wisdom. When a human being has achieved a connection with their inner Spark of God, they are more likely to begin to display an ability to choose the best path—one that cannot be explained by the simple sum of material knowledge and experiences. Human beings are creatures meant to learn from their experiences, but in some cases, suffering and trial-and-error are not necessary in order to understand what the best course of action is, just as it is not necessary to jump from the top floor of a building to know that doing so could be harmful to your health.

When a mortal truly feels the hunger for truth and becomes willing to contemplate ideas and concepts that begin to transcend established notions, the doors open for that longing to be met from above, and a revelation to occur. The word ‘revelation’ sounds as though the secrets of heaven are being disclosed to men, but this is not the case. There are no secrets, and truth is not arbitrarily withheld from mortals. There exists only what you need to know to live where you are, and what you can discover through your efforts to draw closer to God.

There are so many things in the universe that you do not understand, and things you do not even suspect exist. On this very planet, in the future, there will be things that today you cannot imagine to be possible. Consider how different the world would seem to someone from the Middle Ages, born before the invention of the printing press.

Teacher: Thought Adjuster — In everything you decide to do in your life, you must learn to examine the hidden motives behind each impulse, each decision. Is it really so difficult to determine whether a true need must be met? Is the reason why you feel motivated to attempt something truly indecipherable? In reality, motives are always evident—perhaps more so to those who observe you than to yourself. Needs are also easy to identify. The problem is that many times human beings are reluctant to accept that they may have been wrong and are slow to admit the weaknesses of their character, when in fact realizing that a wrong path has been taken and correcting course in time is the most eloquent demonstration of a noble, brave, and balanced character.

“And in all your solicitation concerning the necessity for self-expression do not make the mistake of failing to provide for Adjuster-expression, the manifestation of your real and better self.” [The Urantia Book, 195:7.5]

Teacher: Thought Adjuster -
The problem with ‘self-expression’ is that it can take a very self-centered and selfish connotation. True self-expression occurs when one gets in touch with the truth, the beauty, and the goodness seeded within you by the Great One when He conceived you in His heart and mind.

Thought Adjuster: The Father reveals Himself fully to His creatures, but this revelation is limited by the faith and the capacity for understanding of each individual. It is the human being who sets the limits, depending on what they are willing to believe and how they perceive their own reality. For some, the Father is a distant God, indifferent to human suffering. For others, God is an abstract concept, lacking personality, almost a universal automaton. For some fortunate individuals, God is truly the Father of all beings, the universal caregiver, and the personal Teacher of every creature. God is always constant, unchangeable, and eternal. The differences in ideas about God are in the human mind.

Teacher: Thought Adjuster ―
The ‘righteous indignation’ of the Master should not be confused with human anger and resentment. The Master experienced displeasure when he saw how the love of his Father was distorted and how the resources of the mind were used for nefarious purposes. Jesus never showed indifference to the suffering of his peers, and when this suffering was caused purposefully by others, his response was an attempt at immediate defense for the aggrieved, correcting the situation without ever falling into the error of harming the aggressor.

Teacher: Thought Adjuster ―
In his travels, Jesus presented liberating truth in a palatable form so as to whet the spiritual appetite of his associates. His constant intentions were to facilitate their induction into the kingdom of the hearts — lifetime citizenship acquired by passing many surprise character tests.
