23:0.1 ''Solitary Messengers'' are the [[personal]] and [[universal]] corps of the [[Conjoint Creator]]; they are the first and senior order of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_24#PAPER_24:_HIGHER_PERSONALITIES_OF_THE_INFINITE_SPIRIT Higher Personalities of the Infinite Spirit]. They [[represent]] the initial [[creative]] [[action]] of the [[Infinite Spirit]] in [[solitary]] [[function]] for the [[purpose]] of bringing into [[existence]] solitary [[personality]] spirits. Neither [[the Father]] nor [[the Son]] directly [[participated]] in this stupendous spiritualization.

23:0.2 These [[spirit]] [[messengers]] were [[personalized]] in a single [[creative]] [[episode]], and their [[number]] is stationary. Although I have one of these extraordinary [[beings]] [[associated]] with me on this present mission, I do not know how many such [[personalities]] exist in the [[universe of universes]]. I only know, from time to time, how many are of registry-record as functioning for the time being within the [[jurisdiction]] of our [[superuniverse]]. From the last [[Uversa]] report I [[observe]] that there were almost 7,690 trillion Solitary Messengers then operating within the boundaries of [[Orvonton]]; and I conjecture that this is considerably less than one seventh of their total [[number]].

23:1.2 Notwithstanding that these messengers are [[existent]] from the near times of [[eternity]], they are all [[aware]] of a beginning of [[selfhood]]. They are [[conscious]] of [[time]], being the first of the [[creation]] of the [[Infinite Spirit]] to [[possess]] such a time [[consciousness]]. They are the first-born [[creatures]] of the Infinite Spirit to be [[personalized]] in time and spiritualized in [[space]].

23:1.3 These [[solitary]] [[spirits]] came forth in the dawn of time as full-fledged and perfectly [[endowed]] [[spirit]] [[beings]]. They are all [[equal]], and there are no classes or subdivisions founded on [[personal]] variation. Their classifications are based wholly on the [[type]] of [[work]] to which they are assigned from time to time.

23:1.5 Though denominated ''Solitary Messengers'', they are not lonesome spirits, for they truly like to [[work]] alone. They are the only [[beings]] in all creation who can and do enjoy a [[solitary]] [[existence]], albeit they equally enjoy [[association]] with the very few orders of [[universe]] [[intelligence]] with whom they can fraternize.

23:1.6 ''Solitary Messengers'' are not [[isolated]] in their [[service]]; they are constantly in [[touch]] with the [[wealth]] of the [[intellect]] of all [[creation]] as they are capable of "listening in" on all the [[broadcasts]] of the realms of their [[sojourn]]. They can also intercommunicate with members of their own [[immediate]] corps, those [[beings]] doing the same kind of work in the same [[superuniverse]]. They could [[communicate]] with others of their number, but they have been directed by the council of the [[Seven Master Spirits]] not to do so, and they are a [[loyal]] [[group]]; they do not disobey or [[default]]. There is no record that a Solitary Messenger ever stumbled into [[darkness]].

23:1.8 These messengers of solitary assignment are a dependable, self-reliant, [[versatile]], thoroughly spiritual, and broadly [[sympathetic]] [[group]] of created [[beings]] derived from the [[Third Source and Center]]; they operate by the [[authority]] of the [[Infinite Spirit]] resident on the central [[Isle of Paradise]] and as [[personalized]] on the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_33#33:6._GENERAL_ADMINISTRATION headquarters spheres] of the [[local universes]].

23:1.9 There is a [[technical]] [[reason]] why these [[Solitary Messengers]] must travel and [[work]] alone. For short periods and when stationary, they can [[collaborate]] in a [[group]], but when thus ensembled, they are altogether cut off from the sustenance and direction of their [[Paradise]] [[circuit]]; they are wholly isolated. When in transit, or when operating in the [[circuits]] of [[space]] and the currents of [[time]], if two or more of this order are in close proximity, both or all are thrown out of [[liaison]] with the higher [[circulating]] [[forces]]. They are " short circuited " as you might describe it in [[illustrative]] [[symbols]]. Therefore they have [[inherent]] within them a power of [[automatic]] alarm, a warning signal, which unerringly operates to apprise them of approaching [[conflicts]] and unfailingly keeps them sufficiently separated as not to [[interfere]] with their proper and [[effective]] [[functioning]]. They also [[possess]] [[inherent]] and [[automatic]] [[powers]] which detect and indicate the proximity of both the [[Inspired Trinity Spirits]] and the divine [[Thought Adjusters]].

23:2.15 6. ''Ambassadors and Emissaries of Special Assignment''. [[Local universes]] situated within the same [[superuniverse]] customarily exchange [[ambassadors]] selected from their native orders of sonship. But to avoid delay, Solitary Messengers are frequently asked to go as ambassadors from one local [[creation]] to another, to [[represent]] and [[interpret]] one realm to another. For example: When a newly inhabited realm is [[discovered]], it may [[prove]] to be so remote in [[space]] that a long time will pass before an [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_39#39:2._SUPERIOR_SERAPHIM enseraphimed (39:2.12)] ambassador can reach this far-distant [[universe]]. An enseraphimed being cannot possibly exceed the velocity of 558,840 [[Urantia]] miles in one second of your time. Massive [[stars]], crosscurrents, and detours, as well as [[attraction]] [[tangents]], will all tend to retard such [Velocity|speed]] so that on a long [[journey]] the velocity will [[average]] about 550,000 miles per second.

An enseraphimed being cannot possibly exceed the velocity of 558,840 [[Urantia]] miles in one second of your time. Massive [[stars]], crosscurrents, and detours, as well as [[attraction]] [[tangents]], will all tend to retard such [Velocity|speed]] so that on a long [[journey]] the velocity will [[average]] about 550,000 miles per second.

23:3.2 The universe is well supplied with spirits who utilize gravity for purposes of transit; they can go anywhere any time—instanter—but they are not persons. Certain other gravity traversers are personal beings, such as Gravity Messengers and Transcendental Recorders, but they are not available to the super- and the local universe administrators. The worlds teem with angels and men and other highly personal beings, but they are handicapped by time and space: The limit of velocity for most nonenseraphimed beings is 186,280 miles of your world per second of your time; the midway creatures and certain others can, often do, attain double velocity—372,560 miles per second—while the seraphim and others can traverse space at triple velocity, about 558,840 miles per second. There are, however, no transit or messenger personalities who function between the instantaneous velocities of the gravity traversers and the comparatively slow speeds of the seraphim, except the Solitary Messengers.

23:3.3 Solitary Messengers are, therefore, generally used for dispatch and service in those situations where personality is essential to the achievement of the assignment, and where it is desired to avoid the loss of time which would be occasioned by the sending of any other readily available type of personal messenger. They are the only definitely personalized beings who can synchronize with the combined universal currents of the grand universe. Their velocity in traversing space is variable, depending on a great variety of interfering influences, but the record shows that on the journey to fulfill this mission my associate messenger proceeded at the rate of 841,621,642,000 of your miles per second of your time.

Although they are without that form which would naturally be associated with personality, they do possess a spirit presence which is discernible by all higher types of spirit beings. The Solitary Messengers are the only class of beings who seem to be possessed of well-nigh all the advantages of a formless spirit coupled with all the prerogatives of a full-fledged personality. They are true persons, yet endowed with nearly all of the attributes of impersonal spirit manifestation.

23:3.8 In the seven superuniverses, ordinarily—but not always—everything which tends to increase any creature's liberation from the handicaps of time and space proportionately diminishes personality prerogatives.
