PAPER 111
THE ADJUSTER AND THE SOUL
111:0.1 THE presence of the divine Adjuster in the
human mind makes it forever impossible for either science or philosophy to
attain a satisfactory comprehension of the evolving soul of the human
personality. The morontia soul is the child of the universe and may be really
known only through cosmic insight and spiritual discovery.
111:0.2 The concept of a soul and of an indwelling
spirit is not new to Urantia; it has frequently appeared in the various
systems of planetary beliefs. Many of the Oriental as well as some of the
Occidental faiths have perceived that man is divine in heritage as well as
human in inheritance. The feeling of the inner presence in addition to the
external omnipresence of Deity has long formed a part of many Urantian
religions. Men have long believed that there is something growing within the
human nature, something vital that is destined to endure beyond the short span
of temporal life.
111:0.3 Before man realized that his evolving soul
was fathered by a divine spirit, it was thought to reside in different
physical organs -- the eye, liver, kidney, heart, and later, the brain. The
savage associated the soul with blood, breath, shadows and with reflections of
the self in water.
111:0.4 In the conception of the atman the
Hindu teachers really approximated an appreciation of the nature and presence
of the Adjuster, but they failed to distinguish the copresence of the evolving
and potentially immortal soul. The Chinese, however, recognized two aspects of
a human being, the yang and the yin, the soul and the spirit.
The Egyptians and many African tribes also believed in two factors, the
ka and the ba; the soul was not usually believed to be
pre-existent, only the spirit.
111:0.5 The inhabitants of the Nile valley believed
that each favored individual had bestowed upon him at birth, or soon
thereafter, a protecting spirit which they called the ka. They taught that
this guardian spirit remained with the mortal subject throughout life and
passed before him into the future estate. On the walls of a temple at Luxor,
where is depicted the birth of Amenhotep III, the little prince is pictured on
the arm of the Nile god, and near him is another child, in appearance
identical with the prince, which is a symbol of that entity which the
Egyptians called the ka. This sculpture was completed in the fifteenth century
before Christ.
111:0.6 The ka was thought to be a superior spirit
genius which desired to guide the associated mortal soul into the better paths
of temporal living but more especially to influence the fortunes of the human
subject in the hereafter. When an Egyptian of this period died, it was
expected that his ka would be waiting for him on the other side of the Great
River. At first, only kings were supposed to have kas, but presently all
righteous men were believed to possess them. One Egyptian ruler, speaking of
the ka within his heart, said: "I did not disregard its speech; I feared to
transgress its guidance. I prospered thereby greatly; I was thus successful by
reason of that which it caused me to do; I was distinguished by its guidance."
Many believed that the ka was "an oracle from God in everybody." Many believed
that they were to "spend eternity in gladness of heart in the favor of the God
that is in you."
111:0.7 Every race of evolving Urantia mortals has a
word equivalent to the concept of soul. Many primitive peoples believed the
soul looked out upon the world through human eyes; therefore did they so
cravenly fear the malevolence of the evil eye. They have long believed that
"the spirit of man is the lamp of the Lord." The Rig-Veda says: "My mind
speaks to my heart."
1. THE MIND ARENA OF CHOICE
111:1.1 Though the work of Adjusters is spiritual in
nature, they must, perforce, do all their work upon an intellectual
foundation. Mind is the human soil from which the spirit Monitor must evolve
the morontia soul with the co-operation of the indwelt personality.
111:1.2 There is a cosmic unity in the several mind
levels of the universe of universes. Intellectual selves have their origin in
the cosmic mind much as nebulae take origin in the cosmic energies of universe
space. On the human (hence personal) level of intellectual selves the
potential of spirit evolution becomes dominant, with the assent of the mortal
mind, because of the spiritual endowments of the human personality together
with the creative presence of an entity-point of absolute value in such human
selves. But such a spirit dominance of the material mind is conditioned upon
two experiences: This mind must have evolved up through the ministry of the
seven adjutant mind-spirits, and the material (personal) self must choose to
co-operate with the indwelling Adjuster in creating and fostering the morontia
self, the evolutionary and potentially immortal soul.
111:1.3 Material mind is the arena in which human
personalities live, are self-conscious, make decisions, choose God or forsake
him, eternalize or destroy themselves.
111:1.4 Material evolution has provided you a life
machine, your body; the Father himself has endowed you with the purest spirit
reality known in the universe, your Thought Adjuster. But into your hands,
subject to your own decisions, has been given mind, and it is by mind that you
live or die. It is within this mind and with this mind that you make those
moral decisions which enable you to achieve Adjusterlikeness, and that is
Godlikeness.
111:1.5 Mortal mind is a temporary intellect system
loaned to human beings for use during a material lifetime, and as they use
this mind, they are either accepting or rejecting the potential of eternal
existence. Mind is about all you have of universe reality that is subject to
your will, and the soul -- the morontia self -- will faithfully portray the
harvest of the temporal decisions which the mortal self is making. Human
consciousness rests gently upon the electrochemical mechanism below and
delicately touches the spirit-morontia energy system above. Of neither of
these two systems is the human being ever completely conscious in his mortal
life; therefore must he work in mind, of which he is conscious. And it is not
so much what mind comprehends as what mind desires to comprehend that insures
survival; it is not so much what mind is like as what mind is striving to be
like that constitutes spirit identification. It is not so much that man is
conscious of God as that man yearns for God that results in universe
ascension. What you are today is not so important as what you are becoming day
by day and in eternity.
111:1.6 Mind is the cosmic instrument on which the
human will can play the discords of destruction, or upon which this same human
will can bring forth the exquisite melodies of God identification and
consequent eternal survival. The Adjuster bestowed upon man is, in the last
analysis, impervious to evil and incapable of sin, but mortal mind can
actually be twisted, distorted, and rendered evil and ugly by the sinful
machinations of a perverse and self-seeking human will. Likewise can this mind
be made noble, beautiful, true, and good -- actually great -- in accordance
with the spirit-illuminated will of a God-knowing human being.
111:1.7 Evolutionary mind is only fully stable and
dependable when manifesting itself upon the two extremes of cosmic
intellectuality -- the wholly mechanized and the entirely spiritualized.
Between the intellectual extremes of pure mechanical control and true spirit
nature there intervenes that enormous group of evolving and ascending minds
whose stability and tranquillity are dependent upon personality choice and
spirit identification.
111:1.8 But man does not passively, slavishly,
surrender his will to the Adjuster. Rather does he actively, positively, and
co-operatively choose to follow the Adjuster's leading when and as such
leading consciously differs from the desires and impulses of the natural
mortal mind. The Adjusters manipulate but never dominate man's mind against
his will; to the Adjusters the human will is supreme. And they so regard and
respect it while they strive to achieve the spiritual goals of thought
adjustment and character transformation in the almost limitless arena of the
evolving human intellect.
111:1.9 Mind is your ship, the Adjuster is your
pilot, the human will is captain. The master of the mortal vessel should have
the wisdom to trust the divine pilot to guide the ascending soul into the
morontia harbors of eternal survival. Only by selfishness, slothfulness, and
sinfulness can the will of man reject the guidance of such a loving pilot and
eventually wreck the mortal career upon the evil shoals of rejected mercy and
upon the rocks of embraced sin. With your consent, this faithful pilot will
safely carry you across the barriers of time and the handicaps of space to the
very source of the divine mind and on beyond, even to the Paradise Father of
Adjusters.
2. NATURE OF THE SOUL
111:2.1 Throughout the mind functions of cosmic
intelligence, the totality of mind is dominant over the parts of intellectual
function. Mind, in its essence, is functional unity; therefore does mind never
fail to manifest this constitutive unity, even when hampered and hindered by
the unwise actions and choices of a misguided self. And this unity of mind
invariably seeks for spirit co-ordination on all levels of its association
with selves of will dignity and ascension prerogatives.
111:2.2 The material mind of mortal man is the
cosmic loom that carries the morontia fabrics on which the indwelling Thought
Adjuster threads the spirit patterns of a universe character of enduring
values and divine meanings -- a surviving soul of ultimate destiny and
unending career, a potential finaliter.
111:2.3 The human personality is identified with
mind and spirit held together in functional relationship by life in a material
body. This functioning relationship of such mind and spirit does not result in
some combination of the qualities or attributes of mind and spirit but rather
in an entirely new, original, and unique universe value of potentially eternal
endurance, the soul.
111:2.4 There are three and not two factors in the
evolutionary creation of such an immortal soul. These three antecedents of the
morontia human soul are:
111:2.5 1. The human mind and all cosmic
influences antecedent thereto and impinging thereon.
111:2.6 2. The divine spirit indwelling this
human mind and all potentials inherent in such a fragment of absolute
spirituality together with all associated spiritual influences and factors in
human life.
111:2.7 3. The relationship between material mind
and divine spirit, which connotes a value and carries a meaning not found
in either of the contributing factors to such an association. The reality of
this unique relationship is neither material nor spiritual but morontial. It
is the soul.
111:2.8 The midway creatures have long denominated
this evolving soul of man the mid-mind in contradistinction to the lower or
material mind and the higher or cosmic mind. This mid-mind is really a
morontia phenomenon since it exists in the realm between the material and the
spiritual. The potential of such a morontia evolution is inherent in the two
universal urges of mind: the impulse of the finite mind of the creature to
know God and attain the divinity of the Creator, and the impulse of the
infinite mind of the Creator to know man and attain the experience of
the creature.
111:2.9 This supernal transaction of evolving the
immortal soul is made possible because the mortal mind is first personal and
second is in contact with superanimal realities; it possesses a supermaterial
endowment of cosmic ministry which insures the evolution of a moral nature
capable of making moral decisions, thereby effecting a bona fide creative
contact with the associated spiritual ministries and with the indwelling
Thought Adjuster.
111:2.10 The inevitable result of such a contactual
spiritualization of the human mind is the gradual birth of a soul, the joint
offspring of an adjutant mind dominated by a human will that craves to know
God, working in liaison with the spiritual forces of the universe which are
under the overcontrol of an actual fragment of the very God of all creation --
the Mystery Monitor. And thus does the material and mortal reality of the self
transcend the temporal limitations of the physical-life machine and attain a
new expression and a new identification in the evolving vehicle for selfhood
continuity, the morontia and immortal soul.
3. THE EVOLVING SOUL
111:3.1 The mistakes of mortal mind and the errors
of human conduct may markedly delay the evolution of the soul, although they
cannot inhibit such a morontia phenomenon when once it has been initiated by
the indwelling Adjuster with the consent of the creature will. But at any time
prior to mortal death this same material and human will is empowered to
rescind such a choice and to reject survival. Even after survival the
ascending mortal still retains this prerogative of choosing to reject eternal
life; at any time before fusion with the Adjuster the evolving and ascending
creature can choose to forsake the will of the Paradise Father. Fusion with
the Adjuster signalizes the fact that the ascending mortal has eternally and
unreservedly chosen to do the Father's will.
111:3.2 During the life in the flesh the evolving
soul is enabled to reinforce the supermaterial decisions of the mortal mind.
The soul, being supermaterial, does not of itself function on the material
level of human experience. Neither can this subspiritual soul, without the
collaboration of some spirit of Deity, such as the Adjuster, function above
the morontia level. Neither does the soul make final decisions until death or
translation divorces it from material association with the mortal mind except
when and as this material mind delegates such authority freely and willingly
to such a morontia soul of associated function. During life the mortal will,
the personality power of decision-choice, is resident in the material mind
circuits; as terrestrial mortal growth proceeds, this self, with its priceless
powers of choice, becomes increasingly identified with the emerging
morontia-soul entity; after death and following the mansion world
resurrection, the human personality is completely identified with the morontia
self. The soul is thus the embryo of the future morontia vehicle of
personality identity.
111:3.3 This immortal soul is at first wholly
morontia in nature, but it possesses such a capacity for development that it
invariably ascends to the true spirit levels of fusion value with the spirits
of Deity, usually with the same spirit of the Universal Father that initiated
such a creative phenomenon in the creature mind.
111:3.4 Both the human mind and the divine Adjuster
are conscious of the presence and differential nature of the evolving soul --
the Adjuster fully, the mind partially. The soul becomes increasingly
conscious of both the mind and the Adjuster as associated identities,
proportional to its own evolutionary growth. The soul partakes of the
qualities of both the human mind and the divine spirit but persistently
evolves toward augmentation of spirit control and divine dominance through the
fostering of a mind function whose meanings seek to co-ordinate with true
spirit value.
111:3.5 The mortal career, the soul's evolution, is
not so much a probation as an education. Faith in the survival of supreme
values is the core of religion; genuine religious experience consists in the
union of supreme values and cosmic meanings as a realization of universal
reality.
111:3.6 Mind knows quantity, reality, meanings. But
quality -- values -- is felt. That which feels is the mutual creation
of mind, which knows, and the associated spirit, which
reality-izes.
111:3.7 In so far as man's evolving morontia soul
becomes permeated by truth, beauty, and goodness as the value-realization of
God-consciousness, such a resultant being becomes indestructible. If there is
no survival of eternal values in the evolving soul of man, then mortal
existence is without meaning, and life itself is a tragic illusion. But it is
forever true: What you begin in time you will assuredly finish in eternity --
if it is worth finishing.
4. THE INNER LIFE
111:4.1 Recognition is the intellectual process of
fitting the sensory impressions received from the external world into the
memory patterns of the individual. Understanding connotes that these
recognized sensory impressions and their associated memory patterns have
become integrated or organized into a dynamic network of
principles.
111:4.2 Meanings are derived from a combination of
recognition and understanding. Meanings are nonexistent in a wholly sensory or
material world. Meanings and values are only perceived in the inner or
supermaterial spheres of human experience.
111:4.3 The advances of true civilization are all
born in this inner world of mankind. It is only the inner life that is truly
creative. Civilization can hardly progress when the majority of the youth of
any generation devote their interests and energies to the materialistic
pursuits of the sensory or outer world.
111:4.4 The inner and the outer worlds have a
different set of values. Any civilization is in jeopardy when three quarters
of its youth enter materialistic professions and devote themselves to the
pursuit of the sensory activities of the outer world. Civilization is in
danger when youth neglect to interest themselves in ethics, sociology,
eugenics, philosophy, the fine arts, religion, and cosmology.
111:4.5 Only in the higher levels of the
superconscious mind as it impinges upon the spirit realm of human experience
can you find those higher concepts in association with effective master
patterns which will contribute to the building of a better and more enduring
civilization. Personality is inherently creative, but it thus functions only
in the inner life of the individual.
111:4.6 Snow crystals are always hexagonal in form,
but no two are ever alike. Children conform to types, but no two are exactly
alike, even in the case of twins. Personality follows types but is always
unique.
111:4.7 Happiness and joy take origin in the inner
life. You cannot experience real joy all by yourself. A solitary life is fatal
to happiness. Even families and nations will enjoy life more if they share it
with others.
111:4.8 You cannot completely control the external
world -- environment. It is the creativity of the inner world that is most
subject to your direction because there your personality is so largely
liberated from the fetters of the laws of antecedent causation. There is
associated with personality a limited sovereignty of will.
111:4.9 Since this inner life of man is truly
creative, there rests upon each person the responsibility of choosing as to
whether this creativity shall be spontaneous and wholly haphazard or
controlled, directed, and constructive. How can a creative imagination produce
worthy children when the stage whereon it functions is already preoccupied by
prejudice, hate, fears, resentments, revenge, and bigotries?
111:4.10 Ideas may take origin in the stimuli of the
outer world, but ideals are born only in the creative realms of the inner
world. Today the nations of the world are directed by men who have a
superabundance of ideas, but they are poverty-stricken in ideals. That is the
explanation of poverty, divorce, war, and racial hatreds.
111:4.11 This is the problem: If freewill man is
endowed with the powers of creativity in the inner man, then must we recognize
that freewill creativity embraces the potential of freewill destructivity. And
when creativity is turned to destructivity, you are face to face with the
devastation of evil and sin -- oppression, war, and destruction. Evil is a
partiality of creativity which tends toward disintegration and eventual
destruction. All conflict is evil in that it inhibits the creative function of
the inner life -- it is a species of civil war in the personality.
111:4.12 Inner creativity contributes to ennoblement
of character through personality integration and selfhood unification. It is
forever true: The past is unchangeable; only the future can be changed by the
ministry of the present creativity of the inner self.
5. THE CONSECRATION OF CHOICE
111:5.1 The doing of the will of God is nothing more
or less than an exhibition of creature willingness to share the inner life
with God -- with the very God who has made such a creature life of inner
meaning-value possible. Sharing is Godlike -- divine. God shares all with the
Eternal Son and the Infinite Spirit, while they, in turn, share all things
with the divine Sons and spirit Daughters of the universes.
111:5.2 The imitation of God is the key to
perfection; the doing of his will is the secret of survival and of perfection
in survival.
111:5.3 Mortals live in God, and so God has willed
to live in mortals. As men trust themselves to him, so has he -- and first --
trusted a part of himself to be with men; has consented to live in men and to
indwell men subject to the human will.
111:5.4 Peace in this life, survival in death,
perfection in the next life, service in eternity -- all these are achieved (in
spirit) now when the creature personality consents -- chooses -- to
subject the creature will to the Father's will. And already has the Father
chosen to make a fragment of himself subject to the will of the creature
personality.
111:5.5 Such a creature choice is not a surrender of
will. It is a consecration of will, an expansion of will, a glorification of
will, a perfecting of will; and such choosing raises the creature will from
the level of temporal significance to that higher estate wherein the
personality of the creature son communes with the personality of the spirit
Father.
111:5.6 This choosing of the Father's will is the
spiritual finding of the spirit Father by mortal man, even though an age must
pass before the creature son may actually stand in the factual presence of God
on Paradise. This choosing does not so much consist in the negation of
creature will -- "Not my will but yours be done" -- as it consists in the
creature's positive affirmation: "It is my will that your will
be done." And if this choice is made, sooner or later will the God-choosing
son find inner union (fusion) with the indwelling God fragment, while this
same perfecting son will find supreme personality satisfaction in the worship
communion of the personality of man and the personality of his Maker, two
personalities whose creative attributes have eternally joined in self-willed
mutuality of expression -- the birth of another eternal partnership of the
will of man and the will of God.
6. THE HUMAN PARADOX
111:6.1 Many of the temporal troubles of mortal man
grow out of his twofold relation to the cosmos. Man is a part of nature -- he
exists in nature -- and yet he is able to transcend nature. Man is finite, but
he is indwelt by a spark of infinity. Such a dual situation not only provides
the potential for evil but also engenders many social and moral situations
fraught with much uncertainty and not a little anxiety.
111:6.2 The courage required to effect the conquest
of nature and to transcend one's self is a courage that might succumb to the
temptations of self-pride. The mortal who can transcend self might yield to
the temptation to deify his own self-consciousness. The mortal dilemma
consists in the double fact that man is in bondage to nature while at the same
time he possesses a unique liberty -- freedom of spiritual choice and action.
On material levels man finds himself subservient to nature, while on spiritual
levels he is triumphant over nature and over all things temporal and finite.
Such a paradox is inseparable from temptation, potential evil, decisional
errors, and when self becomes proud and arrogant, sin may evolve.
111:6.3 The problem of sin is not self-existent in
the finite world. The fact of finiteness is not evil or sinful. The finite
world was made by an infinite Creator -- it is the handiwork of his divine
Sons -- and therefore it must be good. It is the misuse, distortion,
and perversion of the finite that gives origin to evil and sin.
111:6.4 The spirit can dominate mind; so mind can
control energy. But mind can control energy only through its own intelligent
manipulation of the metamorphic potentials inherent in the mathematical level
of the causes and effects of the physical domains. Creature mind does not
inherently control energy; that is a Deity prerogative. But creature mind can
and does manipulate energy just in so far as it has become master of the
energy secrets of the physical universe.
111:6.5 When man wishes to modify physical reality,
be it himself or his environment, he succeeds to the extent that he has
discovered the ways and means of controlling matter and directing energy.
Unaided mind is impotent to influence anything material save its own physical
mechanism, with which it is inescapably linked. But through the intelligent
use of the body mechanism, mind can create other mechanisms, even energy
relationships and living relationships, by the utilization of which this mind
can increasingly control and even dominate its physical level in the
universe.
111:6.6 Science is the source of facts, and mind
cannot operate without facts. They are the building blocks in the construction
of wisdom which are cemented together by life experience. Man can find the
love of God without facts, and man can discover the laws of God without love,
but man can never begin to appreciate the infinite symmetry, the supernal
harmony, the exquisite repleteness of the all-inclusive nature of the First
Source and Center until he has found divine law and divine love and has
experientially unified these in his own evolving cosmic philosophy.
111:6.7 The expansion of material knowledge permits
a greater intellectual appreciation of the meanings of ideas and the values of
ideals. A human being can find truth in his inner experience, but he needs a
clear knowledge of facts to apply his personal discovery of truth to the
ruthlessly practical demands of everyday life.
111:6.8 It is only natural that mortal man should be
harassed by feelings of insecurity as he views himself inextricably bound to
nature while he possesses spiritual powers wholly transcendent to all things
temporal and finite. Only religious confidence -- living faith -- can sustain
man amid such difficult and perplexing problems.
111:6.9 Of all the dangers which beset man's mortal
nature and jeopardize his spiritual integrity, pride is the greatest. Courage
is valorous, but egotism is vainglorious and suicidal. Reasonable
self-confidence is not to be deplored. Man's ability to transcend himself is
the one thing which distinguishes him from the animal kingdom.
111:6.10 Pride is deceitful, intoxicating, and
sin-breeding whether found in an individual, a group, a race, or a nation. It
is literally true, "Pride goes before a fall."
7. THE ADJUSTER'S PROBLEM
111:7.1 Uncertainty with security is the essence of
the Paradise adventure -- uncertainty in time and in mind, uncertainty as to
the events of the unfolding Paradise ascent; security in spirit and in
eternity, security in the unqualified trust of the creature son in the divine
compassion and infinite love of the Universal Father; uncertainty as an
inexperienced citizen of the universe; security as an ascending son in the
universe mansions of an all-powerful, all-wise, and all-loving
Father.
111:7.2 May I admonish you to heed the distant echo
of the Adjuster's faithful call to your soul? The indwelling Adjuster cannot
stop or even materially alter your career struggle of time; the Adjuster
cannot lessen the hardships of life as you journey on through this world of
toil. The divine indweller can only patiently forbear while you fight the
battle of life as it is lived on your planet; but you could, if you only would
-- as you work and worry, as you fight and toil -- permit the valiant Adjuster
to fight with you and for you. You could be so comforted and inspired, so
enthralled and intrigued, if you would only allow the Adjuster constantly to
bring forth the pictures of the real motive, the final aim, and the eternal
purpose of all this difficult, uphill struggle with the commonplace problems
of your present material world.
111:7.3 Why do you not aid the Adjuster in the task
of showing you the spiritual counterpart of all these strenuous material
efforts? Why do you not allow the Adjuster to strengthen you with the
spiritual truths of cosmic power while you wrestle with the temporal
difficulties of creature existence? Why do you not encourage the heavenly
helper to cheer you with the clear vision of the eternal outlook of universal
life as you gaze in perplexity at the problems of the passing hour? Why do you
refuse to be enlightened and inspired by the universe viewpoint while you toil
amidst the handicaps of time and flounder in the maze of uncertainties which
beset your mortal life journey? Why not allow the Adjuster to spiritualize
your thinking, even though your feet must tread the material paths of earthly
endeavor?
111:7.4 The higher human races of Urantia are
complexly admixed; they are a blend of many races and stocks of different
origin. This composite nature renders it exceedingly difficult for the
Monitors to work efficiently during life and adds definitely to the problems
of both the Adjuster and the guardian seraphim after death. Not long since I
was present on Salvington and heard a guardian of destiny present a formal
statement in extenuation of the difficulties of ministering to her mortal
subject. This seraphim said:
111:7.5 "Much of my difficulty was due to the
unending conflict between the two natures of my subject: the urge of ambition
opposed by animal indolence; the ideals of a superior people crossed by the
instincts of an inferior race; the high purposes of a great mind antagonized
by the urge of a primitive inheritance; the long-distance view of a far-seeing
Monitor counteracted by the nearsightedness of a creature of time; the
progressive plans of an ascending being modified by the desires and longings
of a material nature; the flashes of universe intelligence cancelled by the
chemical-energy mandates of the evolving race; the urge of angels opposed by
the emotions of an animal; the training of an intellect annulled by the
tendencies of instinct; the experience of the individual opposed by the
accumulated propensities of the race; the aims of the best overshadowed by the
drift of the worst; the flight of genius neutralized by the gravity of
mediocrity; the progress of the good retarded by the inertia of the bad; the
art of the beautiful besmirched by the presence of evil; the buoyancy of
health neutralized by the debility of disease; the fountain of faith polluted
by the poisons of fear; the spring of joy embittered by the waters of sorrow;
the gladness of anticipation disillusioned by the bitterness of realization;
the joys of living ever threatened by the sorrows of death. Such a life on
such a planet! And yet, because of the ever-present help and urge of the
Thought Adjuster, this soul did achieve a fair degree of happiness and success
and has even now ascended to the judgment halls of mansonia."
