Am I understanding you right, that you don't think Andon and Fonta had Thought Adjusters?

Upon the making of a supreme decision of unusual spiritual import. Such human behavior in a personal planetary crisis usually is attended by the immediate arrival of the waiting Adjuster.

What other thing would be required?

This level is entered when human beings develop the powers of personal choice, individual decision, moral responsibility, and the capacity for the attainment of spiritual individuality. This signifies the united function of the seven adjutant mind-spirits under the direction of the spirit of wisdom, the encircuitment of the mortal creature in the influence of the Holy Spirit, and, on Urantia, the first functioning of the Spirit of Truth, together with the reception of a Thought Adjuster in the mortal mind.

Sorry, I'm having trouble understanding that. Andon and Fonta's decision was purposeful, conscious and reflective. It was based upon the outreach of the spirit of worship looking for value and upon wisdom helping them identify the superior option over the inferior option.

Today that would be considered selfish, but apparently it was the Father's will. Morality changes, it is not absolute.

the four things listed here...first moral choice would indicate at least partial moral responsibility but there's still three more:

i don't understand what you dont understand...the other potential couple in the scenario would have made purposeful, reflective, conscious decisions too. you said yourself that the case of andon and fonta is different:

The author specifies that this choice must be developed, which assumes that the human being entering the seventh circle has been functioning as a personality prior to entering, but with undeveloped free will powers. Since a personality can only choose from what they are conscious of, I have to conclude that the time must wait until a child has developed a broader consciousness of moral possibilities from which it can choose.

So...are we agreed then that the seventh circle may be entered prior to soul birth

and the arrival of the TA when a world has not yet received the Son's Spirit? And that soul birth also occurs prior to the Son's Spirit during those earlier Mortal Epochs?

And that human mind is certainly capable of moral choice and religious experience prior to the birth of soul, especially prior to the planetary gift of the Son's Spirit?

And that religious experience and soul building choices can and do happen without cognitive awareness of having a faith or truth based religious experience?

And that religious experience and birth of soul and circles progress does not depend upon accuracy of belief or knowledge of universe reality?

And glad you're here kat!! I like the way you think.

One of the revelators defines personality and, as I remember, it is the configuration of factors or parameters that give a being their impulses, drives, will, aspirations. reactions, etc., In that context it doesn't contain the energy or motion to put that configuration into effect

I'm not convinced that a person can only choose what they are conscious of.

There is an exercise of will and choice in the super conscious realm for sure I would say. Especially there we can collaborate with the TA or not.

you took offense when i said that the case of andon and fonta doesn't really apply to anyone since,

would expand the definition of moral responsibility beyond the will to one of status, the status of deserving to be held accountable for your choices, whether that be blame or reward.

responsibility implies accountability yes,

attaining the status of moral responsibility is somewhat akin to legal age and sanity requirements for being held accountable for your choices and actions.

do note that morality..the awareness of relativity of relationship with other persons and discernment of conduct levels with discriminating choice between them is a far cry from the totality of personhood involved in the circles and the descriptions of the two are different for a reason.

I'm not familiar with that reference. Are you referring to personality as pattern? I agree personality has will, but impulses, drives and reactions are all part of mind ministry.

(9.4) 0:6.2 ENERGY we use as an all-inclusive term applied to spiritual, mindal, and material realms. Force is also thus broadly used. Power is ordinarily limited to the designation of the electronic level of material or linear-gravity-responsive matter in the grand universe. Power is also employed to designate sovereignty. We cannot follow your generally accepted definitions of force, energy, and power. There is such paucity of language that we must assign multiple meanings to these terms.

(10.4) 0:6.12 In contrast to the aspect of the total, pattern discloses the individual aspect of energy and of personality. Personality or identity forms are patterns resultant from energy (physical, spiritual, or mindal) but are not inherent therein. That quality of energy or of personality by virtue of which pattern is caused to appear may be attributed to God — Deity — to Paradise force endowment, to the coexistence of personality and power.

42:12.9 (483.9) Mind is always creative. The mind endowment of an individual animal, mortal, morontian, spirit ascender, or finality attainer is always competent to produce a suitable and serviceable body for the living creature identity. But the presence phenomenon of a personality or the pattern of an identity, as such, is not a manifestation of energy, either physical, mindal, or spiritual. The personality form is the pattern aspect of a living being; it connotes the arrangement of energies, and this, plus life and motion, is the mechanism of creature existence.

I based my statement on this reference:

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

Are you referring to this reference:

(1208.2) 110:5.3 During the slumber season the Adjuster attempts to achieve only that which the will of the indwelt personality has previously fully approved by the decisions and choosings which were made during times of fully wakeful consciousness, and which have thereby become lodged in the realms of the supermind, the liaison domain of human and divine interrelationship.

Note the specification: "fully approved by the decisions and choosings which were made during times of fully wakeful consciousness".

It's difficult for me to determine if one is officially "conscious" while much super conscious activity is ongoing. From experience it feels to me as if one's focus is switched to the super consciousness at the time, but that is no doubt some kind of overlap between normal consciousness and super consciousness.
