The Urantia Book Paper 110 - The Adjuster Cooperation

Adjusters the sacred and superb game of the ages are played; They engage in one of the supreme adventures of time in space. And how happy they are when your co-operation enables them to lend assistance in your short struggles of time as they continue to prosecute their larger tasks of eternity. But usually, when your Adjuster attempts to communicate with you, the message is lost in the material currents of the energy flow of the human mind; only occasionally you hear an echo, a faint and distant echo of the divine voice.

 The success of your Adjuster in the enterprise of pilotearte through the mortal life and bringing about your survival depends not so much on the theories of your beliefs as upon your decisions, determinations, and feconstante. All these movements of personality growth become powerful influences aiding in your advancement because they help you to co-operate with the Adjuster; They help you to cease resistance. Thought Adjusters succeed or apparently fail in their terrestrial undertakings only to the extent that mortals succeed or fail to cooperate with the scheme by which advanced along the ascending path of perfection attainment.

When we talk about the success or failure of an Adjuster, we are talking in terms of human survival. Adjusters never fail; They are of divine essence and always come out winners in each of its businesses.

I can not but observe that so many of you spend so much time and thought on mere trifles of living, while you almost wholly overlook the more essential realities of lasting importance, those same accomplishments that relate to the development of a more harmonious working agreement between you and your Adjuster. The great goal of human existence is to be synchronized with the divinity of the indwelling Adjuster; the great achievement of mortal life is to achieve a true and understanding consecration to the eternal aims of the divine spirit who waits and works within your mind. But devoted and determined effort to realize eternal destiny is wholly compatible with a hearted and joyous life and with a successful and honorable career on earth. Cooperation with the Thought Adjuster does not include self-torture, mock piety, or hypocritical and ostentatious self-abasement; the ideal life is a life of loving service rather than an existence of fearful apprehension.

Confusion, being puzzled, even sometimes discouraged and distracted, does not necessarily mean resistance to the Adjuster resident. These attitudes may sometimes connote lack of active co-operation with the divine Monitor and therefore can somewhat delay spiritual progress, but such intellectual emotional difficulties do not interfere in the least with the certain survival of the soul that knows God. Ignorance alone can never prevent survival; Nor can the confused doubts nor fearful uncertainty. Only conscious resistance to the Adjuster can prevent the survival of the evolving immortal soul.

You should not consider cooperation with your Adjuster as a particularly conscious process, for it is not; but your motives and your decisions, your faithful determinations and your supreme desires, do constitute real and effective cooperation. You can consciously augment Adjuster harmony by:

1. Choosing to respond to divine guidance; sincerely basing the human life on the highest consciousness of truth, beauty and goodness, and then co-ordinate through these divine qualities of wisdom, worship, faith and love.

 2. Loving God and desiring to be like him genuine recognition of the divine fatherhood and loving worship of the heavenly Father.

3. Loving man and sincerely desiring to serve wholehearted recognition of the brotherhood of man coupled with an intelligent and wise affection for each of your fellow mortals.

4. Joyful acceptance of cosmic citizenship honest recognition of your progressive to the Supreme Being, awareness of the interdependence of evolutionary man and evolving Deity obligations. This is the birth of cosmic morality and the dawning realization of universal duty.
