Episode:Thought Adjusters—Mission and Ministry (Part 1)
From Symmetry of Soul
The mission of the Thought Adjusters to the human races is to represent, to be, the Universal Father to the mortal creatures of time and space; that is the fundamental work of the divine gifts. Their mission is also that of elevating the mortal minds of men up to the divine heights and spiritual levels of Paradise perfection.

Note: Brad was away this week, so there were only 3 co-hosts.
Summary by Kermit (abridged notes)
Paper 108.
Some things we covered:
- Choice versus decision. Spiritual choices and mindal decisions. Choices produce decisions, but not vice verse. These are in different energy systems (choice is spirit energy, decision is mind energy)
- Thought Adjusters are the spirit representation of our spiritual Father,, not our cosmic Father. The Father is not personally present in the evolutionary universes, but he is represented therein via these fragments.
- Thought Adjusters to spiritizie (make spirit energy) as well as spiritualize.
- Perfect versus imperfect, and perfect versus perfecting. We refer to the concepts often in Symmetry of Soul.
- No substitute for experience. God cannot experience anything he hasn't personally experienced (as obvious as that may seem).
- The Father is existential, whereas we are experiential.
108:1
- A tough truth: human inheritance determined selection and assignment of Thought Adjusters.
- We wrestle with this today. Spirit consciousness today pushes us to notions of equality, yet this insists we look at the differences in nature on every dimension. Do not willfully close your eyes to realities that should be trivially obvious.
- Volunteering Thought Adjusters? Intriguing. The three elements related to this: intellectual capacity, spiritual perception, and the superadditive consequence of these two factors.
- At about 100 minutes in, we discussed the popular aphorism today, "I'm spiritual but not religious."
