Job 32:8, "But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty gives them understanding."
This "spirit", this "indwelling spirit of God the Father" is the Thought Adjuster (TA) - God in man: spirit of God, candle light, Inner Voice, Still Small Voice...
Some religions understand this. Some do not. For example, Christianity. Christianity has a problem with this interpretation because it [this correct interpretation, that is] reveals loopholes in its doctrine of Salvation. Many Christian outlets teach God cannot be in an individual except he or she is washed by the blood of Jesus. As a result, they interpret Job 32:8 to mean that particular spirit is man's 'human spirit' which needs to be saved or recreated. However, Salvation is by the divine grace through faith and faith alone - faith that God exists - "God is" and He is "your Father". Such a faith that would empower you to surrender your all, wholeheartedly to His will and His way. No works is needed. No work of animal blood sacrifice. No work of shedding the blood of your own son. And also, no work of Jesus blood sacrifice. (Nevertheless, we understand that the Jesus experience on the cross has the power to lead people to salvation because of the great spiritual drawing power of his LOVE that was displayed at the cross...) Wrapped up in the love of God, you are saved by grace through faith. Not of works...
This spirit is God's divine spirit, the spirit fragment of God the Father. It is by this technique that our all-powerful, infinitely transcendent God can come close to you, to indwell in. This is how transcendence becomes immanence. This spirit is God in man. It is not your 'human spirit' or your lost, faulty, sin-prone human spirit.
This spirit, the Thought Adjuster [TA] comes into every human being when he or she makes his or her first moral decision - at the age of accountability, usually between 4 and 6 years of age. The TA resides at the SUPERCONSCIOUS levels of your mind. As a result, even if you are sinful, the TA can still remain in you. Sin cannot ordinarily or easily get to your superconsciousness. It is the "Holy of Holies" in you. That's where God resides. And that's why Jesus declared, "The Kingdom of God is within you!"
Proverbs 20:27, "The spirit of man is the candle of God, searching all the inward parts of the belly." ...and the "candle of God" does not need to be recreated or born again. It is not corrupt. Cannot be corrupted. It is your soul that needs salvation - to be "born again". It is your "spiritual life" that may need to be "born anew". It is very important to understand these distinctions.

Please Note Briefly:
One sure thing that can defy the Holy of Holies in a human being is persistent, continuous willful iniquity (a far greater and higher level of "sin"); a total, complete, wholehearted dedication to Lucifer. When a human being consciously, willfully, and wholeheartedly sells himself to Lucifer, his TA would leave. This constitutes SOUL DEATH (or spiritual death) as explained in Paper 112:3.2 of the Urantia Book. The good news is that this does not happen frequently to people on Earth. Most people would not consciously and willfully sell themselves to the devil.
Urantia Book Paper 112:3.2, "Spiritual (soul) death. If and when mortal man has finally rejected survival, when he has been pronounced spiritually insolvent, morontially bankrupt, in the conjoint opinion of the Adjuster and the surviving seraphim, when such co-ordinate advice has been recorded on Uversa, and after the Censors and their reflective associates have verified these findings, thereupon do the rulers of Orvonton order the immediate release of the indwelling Monitor. But this release of the Adjuster in no way affects the duties of the personal or group seraphim concerned with that Adjuster-abandoned individual. This kind of death is final in its significance irrespective of the temporary continuation of the living energies of the physical and mind mechanisms. From the cosmic standpoint the mortal is already dead; the continuing life merely indicates the persistence of the material momentum of cosmic energies."
Please, note that the word "survival" as used here connotes "salvation". Hallelujah! Hosanna! Namaste!
