Mind & Life
Seven Adjutant Mind-Spirits[1]
In the order of evolutionary attainment
- 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.
- 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.
- 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. 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. Wisdom is the acme of intellectual performance; wisdom is the goal of a purely mental and moral existence.

Material Mind Systems
| Finite-Mind Level | Ministered By |
|---|---|
| Preadjutant-spirit minds | Master Physical Controllers |
| Adjutant-spirit minds | Local Universe Mother Spirit |
| Evolving morontia minds | Local Universe Mother Spirit and 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.”
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.”
Planetary Physical Types
Orders and divisions
[•] Fewer than 7% of Orvonton worlds, fewer than 3% of Nebadon worlds, nine worlds in Satania, and one “in close proximity to Urantia” are nonbreather worlds. (49:3)
[•] “There are five distinct orders of beings as they are classified with reference to heat-regulating mechanisms.” (49:2)
Percentages are for the worlds of Satania. Urantia is a mid-breather, land, average-gravity, mid-temperature, electric type number 3, third-order energizing world.
Planetary Series of Mortals
Classifications and groups
“Intelligent beings are vertically related in twelve great groups of seven major divisions each.” (49:5)
“Almost ninety per cent of the inhabited worlds of Nebadon are peopled with Adjuster-fusion mortals.” (49:5)
