One thing that caught my attention about the adjutants was how they divide up into the more intellectual animations {intuition, knowledge, understanding}, and the more emotional {counsel, courage, worship}… which led to speculations about some “differential in response” to the adjutants playing a part in differentiating the primary and secondary Sangiks…?
Would you mind explaining to me how you think race and adjutants are related? Personally, I see no connection at all, not even a smidgeon. And if there was a differential response of the adjutants according to race, why would it involve a division between intellectual and emotional? I’m not following that logic at all. I need more information, please. I’m really, really, really, really confused.
Just to make it easy on all of us, here is a description of each of the adjutants:
36:5.6 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.
36:5.7 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.
36:5.8 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.
36:5.9 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.
36:5.10 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.
36:5.11 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.
36:5.12 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.
For instance, I’m not understanding why you think that the spirit of courage is emotional when the description says it is the intellectual root of moral stamina and spiritual bravery. Why isn’t the spirit of courage under your list of intellectual adjutants when the description says that it is the secret to ascension by the channels of intelligent self-direction? And how is worship emotional? I’m lost. Personally, I don’t see any division between emotional and intellectual at all. But, maybe you can enlighten me? Maybe I missed something. I’m really confused. Really, I am.
And what do you mean to say that each race responds differently to the adjutants? Is that what you’re saying or am I misunderstanding you? I haven’t come across anything like that, but maybe I missed it? Are you speculating? I mean, you’re free to do that. I’m doing it, so why not you? But I don’t understand why you would. Totally lost . . . .
