49:5:19 3. Spirit-reception series. There are three groups of mind design as related to contact with spirit affairs. This classification does not refer to the one-, two-, and three-brained orders of mortals; it refers primarily to gland chemistry, more particularly to the organization of certain glands comparable to the pituitary bodies. The races on some worlds have one gland, on others two, as do Urantians, while on still other spheres the races have three of these unique bodies. The inherent imagination and spiritual receptivity is definitely influenced by this differential chemical endowment.

Dopamine is known as the “feel-good” hormone. It gives you a sense of pleasure. It also gives you the motivation to do something when you’re feeling pleasure.

Dopamine is part of your reward system. This system is designed, from an evolutionary standpoint, to reward you when you’re doing the things you need to do to survive — eat, drink, compete to survive and reproduce. As humans, our brains are hard-wired to seek out behaviors that release dopamine in our reward system. When you’re doing something pleasurable, your brain releases a large amount of dopamine. You feel good and you seek more of that feeling.

I believe it is the pineal gland, which sits in the mid zone of the brain and it also secretes an enzyme-like chemical. I believe this is the "citadel of the brain" and this is where the thought adjust (spirit of God fragment) resides.

When we pray or worship this gland actually reacts, receives, sends. It is almost like blue tooth. It also serves as a memory transcriber so it takes a person's entire life and spiritizes it, much as we digitize photographs so we can move th media from one place to another.

Isn't that interesting? It literally is true God lives in us as a fragment.

Great topic. I think the book lays it out pretty well. I did a little more research on the pineal gland and it turns out that all vertebrates appear to have them. I also suspect the seven adjutant mind spirits might also occupy this gland as a reservoir in which they can detect mental activity and spiritual receptivity.

Very fascinating.

This is probably common, but sometimes in the morning just before I come out of full sleep I will find myself engaging in meanings and values of things going on in my life, or pondering some experience.

Also, sunsets and sunrises are an inspiration and drive me to pray or contemplate the eternal nature of a God who can produce enough energy to make 70 trillion suns. That's inspirational.

How our glands are designed by the Life Carriers...

"It is the presence of the seven adjutant mind-spirits on the primitive worlds that conditions the course of organic evolution;" (36:5.1)

"These mind-spirits send forth their influence into all the inhabited worlds as a differential urge, each seeking receptivity capacity for manifestation quite apart from the degree to which its fellows may find reception and opportunity for function." (36:5.2)

"In the mortal experience the human intellect resides in the rhythmic pulsations of the adjutant mind-spirits and effects its decisions within the arena produced by encircuitment within this ministry." (117:5.7)

"The advances of true civilization are all born in this inner world of mankind." (111:4:3)

"It is the creativity of the inner world that is most subject to your direction..."(111:4:8)

"..., but ideals are born only in the creative realms of the inner world." (111:4:10)
