Our Thought Adjusters—Part 20: Evolutionary Concepts of Spirit, Soul, and Mind

This week we resume our study by beginning the fifth paper in this series on the Mystery Monitors, we'll be reading Paper 111, The Adjuster and The Soul, Introductory section and §1. The Mind Arena of Choice. 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. 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. (1215.1,2) 111:0.1,2 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.” Every race of evolving Urantia mortals has a word equivalent to the concept of soul. (1215.6,1216.1) 111:0.6,7  We look forward to you joining us for this study of who we truly are and are destined to be! http://tobtr.com/11812402
