113:5.1 (1245.7) Angels do not invade the sanctity of the human mind; they do not manipulate the will of mortals; neither do they directly contact with the indwelling Adjusters. The guardian of destiny influences you in every possible manner consistent with the dignity of your personality; under no circumstances do these angels interfere with the free action of the human will. Neither angels nor any other order of universe personality have power or authority to curtail or abridge the prerogatives of human choosing.

No. Angels do not invade the material mind. Neither do the TAs.

The TAs dwell in the human mind; they do not "invade" it. To invade means to forcefully enter; to enter like an enemy; to go into with hostile intent.

108:2.4 (1187.3) ...the Adjusters cannot arbitrarily invade the mortal intellect prior to the appearance of moral decision. But when such a moral decision has been made, this spirit helper assumes jurisdiction direct from Divinington.

53:8.8 (610.4) But even so, no fallen spirit ever did have the power to invade the minds or to harass the souls of the children of God. Neither Satan nor Caligastia could ever touch or approach the faith sons of God; faith is an effective armor against sin and iniquity. It is true: “He who is born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one touches him not.”

77:7.8 (864.1) The entire group of rebel midwayers is at present held prisoner by order of the Most Highs of Edentia. No more do they roam this world on mischief bent. Regardless of the presence of the Thought Adjusters, the pouring out of the Spirit of Truth upon all flesh forever made it impossible for disloyal spirits of any sort or description ever again to invade even the most feeble of human minds. Since the day of Pentecost there never again can be such a thing as demoniacal possession.

108:2.2 (1187.1) The Adjusters cannot invade the mortal mind until it has been duly prepared by the indwelling ministry of the adjutant mind-spirits and encircuited in the Holy Spirit. And it requires the co-ordinate function of all seven adjutants to thus qualify the human mind for the reception of an Adjuster. Creature mind must exhibit the worship outreach and indicate wisdom function by exhibiting the ability to choose between the emerging values of good and evil
—moral choice.

What it is saying, according to my personal interpretation, is that it *would* be an invasion of the mind IF they were to arrive prior to the first moral decision (because it would be forceful or without consent). But they do not/ cannot invade; because they do not indwell until that first moral decision has been made by the individual.

1. Why did not the author just merely state: "Angels do not invade the human mind?" 2. Why insert, "sanctity of the..."?

They are referring to the sanctity of free will. One cannot exercise free will without being conscious of the options available for choice. Free will is a power attribute of personality but it requires the mind for execution or expression.

(377.4) 34:3.8 One is free to choose and act only within the realm of one's consciousness.

(150.3) 13:4.5 The determiner of the differential of spiritual presence exists in your own hearts and minds and consists in the manner of your own choosing, in the decisions of your minds, and in the determination of your own wills. This differential is inherent in the freewill reactions of intelligent personal beings, beings whom the Universal Father has ordained shall exercise this liberty of choosing.

(194.6) 16:8.6  Self-consciousness consists in intellectual awareness of personality actuality; it includes the ability to recognize the reality of other personalities. It indicates capacity for individualized experience in and with cosmic realities, equivalating to the attainment of identity status in the personality relationships of the universe. Self-consciousness connotes recognition of the actuality of mind ministration and the realization of relative independence of creative and determinative free will.

It says the sanctity of the human mind. Plus, you cannot invade will. You can invade mind. And there are enough references to show it is mind, not will that is invaded.

I think the confusion lies in invasion and indwelling. these two are not the same events. One occurs prior to the other.

If one is without a TA then one is not encircuited into the HT and SoT. Thus, one is ripe for mind invasion by spirit forces other than TA.

77:7.8 (864.1) The entire group of rebel midwayers is at present held prisoner by order of the Most Highs of Edentia. No more do they roam this world on mischief bent. Regardless of the presence of the Thought Adjusters, the pouring out of the Spirit of Truth upon all flesh forever made it impossible for disloyal spirits of any sort or description ever again to invade even the most feeble of human minds. Since the day of Pentecost there never again can be such a thing as demoniacal possession.

How so?

Taking your hypothesis at face value, I have two questions: 1) what do you think these "spirit forces other than TA" are and 2) why would they invade human mind? For what purpose?

Remember, in the quote you posted, it says:


77:7.8 (864.1) The entire group of rebel midwayers is at present held prisoner by order of the Most Highs of Edentia. No more do they roam this world on mischief bent.

This means that, without regard to the presence of Thought Adjusters, the pouring out of the Spirit of Truth upon all flesh forever made it impossible for disloyal spirits to invade even the most feeble .....

It begs the question, are all humans indwelt? I do not think so.
