The adjutants are not spiritual; they are mind ministers. Mind always intercedes between physical energy systems and spiritual energy systems.(116:5.10; 116:66.7) The purpose of mind is to coordinate and unify spirit causations with energy reactions.(116:3.4). The urge may have a spirit origin, but on the ground level, that spiritual urge is mediated by the appropriate mind ministry capable of eliciting the desired physical energy reaction.
Each adjutant is responsible for a given urge, or set of urges, and then seeks to contact a physical energy source capable of reacting to it. The adjutants, through urges, lures and desires, gently mold physical energy systems toward their individual limit of perfection. The adjutants are called the spirits of promise because they impel and propel evolution forward. They are like tools or instruments of evolution. If you are trying to build a perfect house you don’t use a blow torch to put your 2 x 4’s together, you don’t use wire nuts to connect your plumbing, nor do you use nails to complete your electrical circuits. In like manner, you wouldn’t use the spirit of worship to urge an amoeba to evolve to the point where it can consume a human pathogenic gram negative bacillus. There are certain genes within the amoeba DNA that need to be activated in order for that evolutional event to occur and the lower, or probably the lowest, adjutant has the appropriate tools available to urge a nonthinking organism to evolve DNA. How it does so, I could not say with any certainty.
But remember, all of evolution is already built into the original ancestral code of the life plasm; it’s a matter of when, where and how it is activated and utilized. The adjutants are the activators, that is their job, creating the circumstances which are ripe for new life expressions of the original life plasm. (36:2.17) I’ve often wondered if the “spark of life” supplied by the Creative Spirit, which “enlivens the body and presages the mind” (36:3.4) is the beacon which attracts the adjutants to begin their work. Life and some level of mind go hand in hand, I think.

Psycho?? Do amoebas, plants, animals and insects have psyches? Maybe you could develop your meaning of psycho-somatic a little? Are you referring only to humans?

1. I think that the soul and the Adjuster should be in intimate contact with one another. I see the Adjuster as the center, or near the center of the soul, unfused and fully separable, yet intimately a part of the relationship. That is my own personal image, however.
2. Why is the overlap of the conscious mind with the superconscious mind so large? Doesn’t the conscious mind delicately touch the soul and its superconscious center? (111:1.5) You do have to go through the soul to reach the superconscious, but I don’t think they mean go through the soul and come out the other side. I think they mean go through to the center, the core, the nucleus, the heart.
3. I think that spiritual urges and lures come from within the soul.
4. What is meant by “urges” “desires” “lures” on the bottom? They are just hanging there.
5. What’s with the feeling/emotion loop all about? You say it is a stimulus, but a stimulus for what?
6. How exactly would you resist an adjutant? Mind imbalance comes from resisting the spiritual influence of the Adjuster, not the adjutants . . . far as I can tell. Then again, if you are Borg, resistance is futile.
