"The Beginning (5:52)" caused me to want to better understand what a TA is. In my reading I found this:
I really feel like my prayers and meditation intentions are being responded to! I don't want to get too specific, but recall I was saying that I felt like something evil was tainting my view of people around me and I wanted to see truth. This "evil tainted" view causes fear and overwhelming worry. Recently I have been trying to recognize when this is happening and purposefully push the fear away (because of a deep belief it is coming from an evil place and not truth) and replace, more accurately, push it away with overwhelming love.6. Adjusters would deliver us from fear.
“The Thought Adjusters would like to change your feelings of fear to convictions of love and confidence; but they cannot mechanically and arbitrarily do such things; that is your task. In executing those decisions which deliver you from the fetters of fear, you literally supply the psychic fulcrum on which the Adjuster may subsequently apply a spiritual lever of uplifting and advancing illumination.” (1192.3) 108:5.8
If I combine this lesson with "Under the Shepherd's Staff" it pulls together what I am aiming to accomplish...Well...maybe not quite...I had a "revelation" and was going to share tying the two together and I Ironically noticed the time was 8:52, so I paused to recognize my TA's presence and my revelation was gone.
On a side note, I also found this (not related to the topic), for some reason it made me feel reprimanded as well as gave me a giggle...
LOVE!!!!5. Adjuster’s relation to human emotions.
“Your transient and ever-changing emotions of joy and sorrow are in the main purely human and material reactions to your internal psychic climate and to your external material environment. Do not, therefore, look to the Adjuster for selfish consolation and mortal comfort. It is the business of the Adjuster to prepare you for the eternal adventure, to assure your survival. It is not the mission of the Mystery Monitor to smooth your ruffled feelings or to minister to your injured pride; it is the preparation of your soul for the long ascending career that engages the attention and occupies the time of the Adjuster.” (1192.1) 108:5.6
