“If mortals recognized that their Creators — their immediate supervisors — while being divine were also finite, and that the Deity of time and space was an evolving and nonabsolute Deity, then the inconsistencies of temporal inequalities would cease to be profound religious paradoxes.” The Deity of time and space is the Supreme. “The Almighty Supreme is a living and evolving Deity of power and personality. The Supreme’s present domain, the grand universe, is also a growing realm of power and personality. The Supreme’s destiny is perfection, but present experience encompasses the elements of growth and incomplete status.”

There is a Deity presence that is limited to the finite level of reality, and which encompasses the entire grand universe. Since that universe is incomplete and evolving, its Deity presence is also evolving. The Urantia Book calls this Deity the Supreme. Evolution implies action and change, and the Supreme is the repository of all of the evolutionary activity within the grand universe. “Humans must think in a mortal universe frame, but that does not mean that they cannot envision other and higher frames within which thought can take place.” The higher frames beyond the Supreme have been designated as absonite and absolute.

Each inhabited planet has a spiritual government that guides that planet’s evolution. “Seraphim and their associated cherubim have much to do with the details of the superhuman government of a planet, especially of worlds which have been isolated by rebellion. The angels, ably assisted by the midwayers, function on Urantia as the actual supermaterial ministers who execute the mandates of the

“Seraphim are the traditional angels; they are the ministering spirits who live so near you and do so much for you. They have ministered on Urantia since the earliest times of human intelligence.” “The angels develop an abiding affection for their human associates; and you would, if you could only visualize the seraphim, develop a warm affection for them. Divested of material bodies, given spirit forms, you

“The evolutionary planets are the spheres of human origin, the initial worlds of the ascending mortal career. Urantia is your starting point; here you and your divine Thought

“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 Eastern as well as some of the Western faiths have perceived that mortals are divine in heritage as well as human in inheritance. The feeling of the inner presence in addition to the external omnipresence of Deity has formed a part of many Urantian religions. People have long believed that there is something growing within the human nature, something vital that is destined to endure

The Adjuster lives within our mind and communicates with us through our thoughts but does not interfere with them. The mind must be open to the leading of the Adjuster. When we allow the Adjuster to lead us, we make the decision to take the spiritual path over the material in any given situation. Adjusters “are persistent, ingenious, and perfect in their methods of work, but they never do violence to the volitional selfhood of their hosts. No human beings will ever

The human race on an evolutionary planet needs to progress to the point where Adjusters can function. “In many of the early evolutionary peoples of Urantia, three groups of beings existed. There were those who were so animalistic that they were utterly lacking in Adjuster capacity. There were those who exhibited undoubted

“The mission of the Thought Adjusters to the human races is to represent, to be, the Universal Creator to the mortal creatures of time and space...” “Their mission is also that of elevating the mortal minds and of translating the immortal

“Thought Adjuster” is the term used in The Urantia Book for the spirit of the Creator resident in the human mind. “The Universal Source is personally resident on Paradise, at the very center of the universes, but is also actually present on the worlds of space in the minds of the countless children of time, indwelling them as the Thought Adjusters. The eternal Source is at one and the same time farthest removed from, and most intimately associated with, the planetary mortal children.” “The Adjusters are the absolute essence of an infinite being imprisoned within the minds of finite creatures...”
