| Seven Adjutant Mind-Spirits [1] | ||
| Designation | Description | |
| 1. | The spirit of intuition |
quick perception, the primitive physical and inherent reflex instincts, the directional and other self-preservative endowments of all mind creations; the only one of the adjutants to function so largely in the lower orders of animal life and the only one to make extensive functional contact with the nonteachable levels of mechanical mind. |
| 2. | The spirit of understanding |
the impulse of co-ordination, the spontaneous and apparently automatic association of ideas. This is the gift of the co-ordination of acquired knowledge, the phenomenon of quick reasoning, rapid judgment, and prompt decision. |
| 3. | The spirit of courage |
the fidelity endowment--in personal beings, the basis of character acquirement and the intellectual root of moral stamina and spiritual bravery. When enlightened by facts and inspired by truth, this becomes the secret of the urge of evolutionary ascension by the channels of intelligent and conscientious self-direction. |
| 4. | The spirit of knowledge |
the curiosity-mother of adventure and discovery, the scientific spirit; the guide and faithful associate of the spirits of courage and counsel; the urge to direct the endowments of courage into useful and progressive paths of growth. |
| 5. | The spirit of counsel |
the social urge, the endowment of species co-operation; the ability of will creatures to harmonize with their fellows; the origin of the gregarious instinct among the more lowly creatures. |
| 6. | The spirit of worship |
the religious impulse, the first differential urge separating mind creatures into the two basic classes of mortal existence. The spirit of worship forever distinguishes the animal of its association from the soulless creatures of mind endowment. Worship is the badge of spiritual-ascension candidacy. |
| 7. | The spirit of wisdom |
the inherent tendency of all moral creatures towards orderly and progressive evolutionary advancement. This is the highest of the adjutants, the spirit co-ordinator and articulator of the work of all the others. This spirit is the secret of that inborn urge of mind creatures which initiates and maintains the practical and effective program of the ascending scale of existence; that gift of living things which accounts for their inexplicable ability to survive and, in survival, to utilize the co-ordination of all their past experience and present opportunities for the acquisition of all of everything that all of the other six mental ministers can mobilize in the mind of the organism concerned. Wisdom is the acme of intellectual performance. Wisdom is the goal of a purely mental and moral existence. |

| Material Mind Systems | ||
| Finite-Mind Levels | Ministered by: | |
| 1. | Preadjutant-spirit minds | Master Physical Controllers |
| 2. | Adjutant-spirit minds | Local Universe Mother Spirit |
| 3. | Evolving morontia minds | Local Universe Mother Spirit & Creator Son |
|
The cosmic mind. This is the sevenfold diversified mind of time and space, one phase of which is ministered by each of the Seven Master Spirits to one of the seven superuniverses. The cosmic mind encompasses all finite-mind levels and co-ordinates experientially with the evolutionary-deity levels of the Supreme Mind and transcendentally with the existential levels of absolute mind — the direct circuits of the Conjoint Actor. 40:10.6 |

| Mind Activities | |
| Mind always reaches out towards: | |
| 1. | Creation of material mechanisms |
| 2. | Discovery of hidden mysteries |
| 3. | Exploration of remote situations |
| 4. | Formulation of mental systems |
| 5. | Attainment of wisdom goals |
| 6. | Achievement of spirit levels |
| 7. | The accomplishment of divine destinies - supreme, ultimate, and absolute |
|
"The evolution of mechanisms implies and indicates the concealed presence and dominance of creative mind. The ability of the mortal intellect to conceive, design, and create automatic mechanisms demonstrates the superior, creative, and purposive qualities of man’s mind as the dominant influence on the planet." |

| Morontia Mota Parallels | |
| 28 Statements of Human Philosophy | |
| 1. | A display of specialized skill does not signify possession of spiritual capacity. Cleverness is not a substitute for true character. |
| 2. | Few persons live up to the faith which they really have. Unreasoned fear is a master intellectual fraud practiced upon the evolving mortal soul. |
| 3. | Inherent capacities cannot be exceeded; a pint can never hold a quart. The spirit concept cannot be mechanically forced into the material memory mold. |
| 4. | Few mortals ever dare to draw anything like the sum of personality credits established by the combined ministries of nature and grace. The majority of impoverished souls are truly rich, but they refuse to believe it. |
| 5. | Difficulties may challenge mediocrity and defeat the fearful, but they only stimulate the true children of the Most Highs. |
| 6. | To enjoy privilege without abuse, to have liberty without license, to possess power and steadfastly refuse to use it for self-aggrandizement--these are the marks of high civilization. |
| 7. | Blind and unforeseen accidents do not occur in the cosmos. Neither do the celestial beings assist the lower being who refuses to act upon his light of truth. |
| 8. | Effort does not always produce joy, but there is no happiness without intelligent effort. |
| 9. | Action achieves strength; moderation eventuates in charm. |
| 10. | Righteousness strikes the harmony chords of truth, and the melody vibrates throughout the cosmos, even to the recognition of the Infinite. |
| 11. | The weak indulge in resolutions, but the strong act. Life is but a day's work--do it well. The act is ours; the consequences God's. |
| 12. | The greatest affliction of the cosmos is never to have been afflicted. Mortals only learn wisdom by experiencing tribulation. |
| 13. | Stars are best discerned from the lonely isolation of experiential depths, not from the illuminated and ecstatic mountain tops. |
| 14. | Whet the appetites of your associates for truth; give advice only when it is asked for. |
| 15. | Affectation is the ridiculous effort of the ignorant to appear wise, the attempt of the barren soul to appear rich. |
| 16. | You cannot perceive spiritual truth until you feelingly experience it, and many truths are not really felt except in adversity. |
| 17. | Ambition is dangerous until it is fully socialized. You have not truly acquired any virtue until your acts make you worthy of it. |
| 18. | Impatience is a spirit poison; anger is like a stone hurled into a hornet's nest. |
| 19. | Anxiety must be abandoned. The disappointments hardest to bear are those which never come. |
| 20. | Only a poet can discern poetry in the commonplace prose of routine existence. |
| 21. | The high mission of any art is, by its illusions, to foreshadow a higher universe reality, to crystallize the emotions of time into the thought of eternity. |
| 22. | The evolving soul is not made divine by what it does, but by what it strives to do. |
| 23. | Death added nothing to the intellectual possession or to the spiritual endowment, but it did add to the experiential status the consciousness of survival. |
| 24. | The destiny of eternity is determined moment by moment by the achievements of the day by day living. The acts of today are the destiny of tomorrow. |
| 25. | Greatness lies not so much in possessing strength as in making a wise and divine use of such strength. |
| 26. | Knowledge is possessed only by sharing; it is safeguarded by wisdom and socialized by love. |
| 27. | Progress demands development of individuality; mediocrity seeks perpetuation in standardization. |
| 28. | The argumentative defense of any proposition is inversely proportional to the truth contained. |
|
"The lower planes of morontia mota join directly with the higher levels of human philosophy. On the first mansion world it is the practice to teach the less advanced students by the parallel technique; that is, in one column are presented the more simple concepts of mota meanings, and in the opposite column citation is made of analogous statements of mortal philosophy." |
