Thought Adjuster: “There are many important changes in anyone’s life that can take place in an instant. Just a simple decision can transform the way in which you behave or the way in which you react to the circumstances of your life.
“Your scientists are beginning to notice the power the mind has in dominating behaviors, habits and even that which you call ‘personality.’ You tend to confuse human tendencies and learned behaviors with personality. However personality is the pure and original expression of your being, provided by the Father to all His personal creatures. Personality is that part of you that remains unchanged and survives beyond your material body. Therefore, your personality never changes, but with time and with the help of the will of each creature, it will progressively be more fully revealed.
“The other attributes that are often confused with personality are the attitudes and behaviors learned in this world. The way in which you react to stimuli, the ways in which you relate to your peers, and the habits you develop, are just ‘things’ you have gotten used to and you have promoted by allowing yourself to react without thinking in a specific way and in recurring situations.
“Many among you believe that ‘this is how I am and I will never change.’ Know that within you resides the source to inspire the greatest changes and even the things more deeply embedded in your mind can be left behind just by a simple act of will. Many have been able to overcome addictions to drugs or alcohol even when at the start their physical bodies suffered greatly. These deep and permanent changes can indeed begin in a mere instant.
“Today, if you are struggling with a weakness or a habit that you want to remove from your being, you can do two things: Firstly, ask your Father for help so you can keep alive within you the flame of your desire to be better. Secondly, behave as if you have already overcome the habit that concerns you. Imagine that you don’t need any more ‘that thing’ that moves you apart from your true being and on this day begin to act like a true son or daughter of God.
“The most primitive part of your nervous system always responds to the impulses of the higher brain, and it can’t tell the difference between pretending and feeling. If you imagine that you are in control of your mind and your faculties, you will be in control. Even if you feel that you are only pretending, your body will respond to the commands of your mind as if this were already a fact. It has been shown that some people can even change their hormonal secretions simply by using their imagination. Imagine that right now you are savoring your favorite food and your salivary glands will start to work just as if you have the food in front of you. The mind controls the body and you control the mind.
“And this is just the beginning. There are many abilities to your mind that are not yet used. You have the capacity to heal many of your so-called diseases and afflictions through the control of your mind. This control is nothing esoteric and you don’t need any special training. It is just a form of self-mastery, in which you learn to use your mind to produce only thoughts that are expressions of truth, beauty and goodness. Better yet, you can elevate your entire life to increasing levels of perfection and divinity, when you consecrate the domain of your mind to the guidance of the Divine Presence within you — the Thought Adjuster — thereby becoming more akin to your Father.”
