19:5.1 I will be able to tell you very little concerning the Inspired Trinity Spirits, for they are one of the few wholly [[secret]] orders of [[beings]] in [[existence]], secret, no doubt, because it is impossible for them fully to [[reveal]] themselves even to those of us whose [[origin]] is so near the [[source]] of their [[creation]]. They come into being by the [[act]] of the [[Paradise Trinity]] and may be utilized by any one or two of the [[Deities]] as well as by all three. We do not know whether these Spirits are of completed [[numbers]] or are constantly increasing, but we incline to the [[belief]] that their number is not fixed.
19:5.2 We fully [[understand]] neither the [[nature]] nor the [[conduct]] of the Inspired Spirits. They may possibly belong to the category of superpersonal spirits. They seem to operate over [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_0_-_The_Foreword#VI._ENERGY_AND_PATTERN all known circuits] and appear to act well-nigh [[independently]] of [[time and space]]. But we know little about them except as we [[deduce]] their [[character]] from the [[nature]] of their [[activities]], the results of which we certainly [[observe]] here and there in the [[universes]].
19:5.3 Under certain conditions these Inspired Spirits can [[individualize]] themselves sufficiently for recognition by [[beings]] of [[Trinity]] [[origin]]. I have seen them; but it would never be possible for the lower orders of [[celestial]] [[beings]] to recognize one of them. Certain circumstances also arise from time to time in the conduct of the evolving [[universes]] in which any [[being]] of [[Trinity]] [[origin]] may directly employ these Spirits in the furtherance of his assignments. We therefore know that they [[exist]], and that under certain conditions we may command and receive their [[assistance]], sometimes [[recognize]] their [[presence]]. But they are not a part of the [[manifest]] and definitely [[revealed]] [[organization]] intrusted with the conduct of the [[time-space]] [[universes]] before such [[material]] [[creations]] are settled in [[light and life]]. They have no clearly [[discernible]] place in the [[present]] [[economy]] or [[administration]] of the evolving [[seven superuniverses]]. They are a [[secret]] of the [[Paradise Trinity]].
19:5.4 The [[Melchizedeks]] of [[Nebadon]] teach that Inspired Trinity Spirits are [[destined]], sometime in the [[eternal]] [[future]], to [[function]] in the places of the [[Solitary Messengers]], whose ranks are slowly but certainly being depleted by their assignment as [[associates]] of certain [[types]] of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_22 trinitized sons].
19:5.5 The Inspired Spirits are the [[solitary]] Spirits of the [[universe of universes]]. As Spirits they are very much like the [[Solitary Messengers]] except that the latter are distinct [[personalities]]. We obtain much of our [[knowledge]] of the Inspired Spirits from the Solitary Messengers, who detect their nearness by [[virtue]] of an [[inherent]] [[sensitivity]] to the [[presence]] of the Inspired Spirits which functions just as unfailingly as a [[magnetic]] needle points to a magnetic pole. When a Solitary Messenger is near an Inspired Trinity Spirit, he is [[conscious]] of a [[qualitative]] indication of such a [[divine]] [[presence]] and also of a very definite [[quantitative]] registration which enables him actually to know the classification or [[number]] of the Spirit presence or presences.
19:5.6 I may relate a further interesting [[fact]]: When a [[Solitary Messenger]] is on a [[planet]] whose inhabitants are indwelt by [[Thought Adjusters]], as on [[Urantia]], he is aware of a [[qualitative]] excitation in his detection-[[sensitivity]] to [[spirit]] [[presence]]. In such instances there is no quantitative excitation, only a qualitative agitation. When on a planet to which Adjusters do not come, contact with the natives does not produce any such reaction. This suggests that [[Thought Adjusters]] are in some [[manner]] related to, or are [[connected]] with, the Inspired Spirits of the [[Paradise Trinity]]. In some way they may possibly be [[associated]] in certain [[phases]] of their [[work]]; but we do not really know. They both [[originate]] near the [[center]] and [[source]] of [[all things]], but they are not the same order of being. [[Thought Adjusters]] spring from [[the Father]] alone; Inspired Spirits are the offspring of the [[Paradise Trinity]].
19:5.7 The Inspired Spirits do not apparently belong to the [[evolutionary]] scheme of the [[individual]] [[planets]] or [[universes]], and yet they seem to be almost [[everywhere]]. Even as I am engaged in the formulation of this [[statement]], my associated [[Solitary Messenger]]'s [[personal]] [[sensitivity]] to the presence of this order of Spirit indicates that there is with us at this very [[moment]], not over twenty-five feet away, a Spirit of the Inspired order and of the third volume of power presence. The third volume of power presence suggests to us the [[probability]] that three Inspired Spirits are [[functioning]] in [[liaison]].
19:5.8 Of more than twelve orders of [[beings]] [[associated]] with me at this time, the [[Solitary Messenger]] is the only one aware of the presence of these [[mysterious]] [[entities]] of the [[Trinity]]. And further, while we are thus apprised of the nearness of these divine Spirits, we are all equally ignorant of their mission. We really do not know whether they are merely interested [[observers]] of our [[doings]], or whether they are, in some [[manner]] [[unknown]] to us, actually contributing to the success of our undertaking.
19:5.9 We know that the [[Trinity Teacher Sons]] are [[devoted]] to the [[conscious]] [[enlightenment]] of [[universe]] [[creatures]]. I have arrived at the settled [[conclusion]] that the Inspired Trinity Spirits, by [[superconscious]] [[techniques]], are also functioning as [[teachers]] of the realms. I am persuaded that there is a vast [[body]] of [[essential]] [[spiritual]] [[knowledge]], [[truth]] indispensable to high [[spiritual]] [[attainment]], which cannot be consciously received; [[self-consciousness]] would effectively jeopardize the certainty of reception. If we are right in this [[concept]], and my entire order of [[being]] [[shares]] it, it may be the mission of these Inspired Spirits to overcome this [[difficulty]], to bridge this gap in the [[universal]] scheme of [[moral]] [[enlightenment]] and [[spiritual]] [[advancement]]. We think that these two [[types]] of [[Trinity]]-[[origin]] [[teachers]] effect some kind of [[liaison]] in their activities, but we do not really know.
19:5.10 On the [[superuniverse]] [[training]] worlds and on the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_14#14:1._THE_PARADISE-HAVONA_SYSTEM eternal circuits of Havona], I have fraternized with the perfecting [[mortals]]—spiritualized and [[ascendant]] [[souls]] from the evolutionary realms—but never have they been aware of the Inspired Spirits, which ever and anon the powers of detection resident in the [[Solitary Messengers]] would indicate were very near us. I have freely [[conversed]] with [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_30 all orders of the Sons of God], high and low, and they likewise are [[unconscious]] of the admonitions of the Inspired Trinity Spirits. They can and do look back in their [[experiences]] and recount happenings which are difficult to explain if the [[action]] of such Spirits is not taken into account. But excepting [[Solitary Messengers]], and sometimes [[Trinity]]-[[origin]] [[beings]], none of the [[celestial]] [[family]] have ever been [[conscious]] of the nearness of the Inspired Spirits.
19:5.11 I do not believe the Inspired Trinity Spirits are playing hide and seek with me. They are probably trying just as hard to [[Revelation|disclose]] themselves to me as I am to [[communicate]] with them; our [[difficulties]] and [[limitations]] must be mutual and [[inherent]]. I am [[satisfied]] that there are no [[arbitrary]] [[secrets]] in the [[universe]]; therefore will I never cease in my efforts to solve the [[mystery]] of the [[isolation]] of these Spirits belonging to my order of [[creation]].
19:5.12 And from all this, you [[mortals]], just now taking your first step on the [[eternal]] [[journey]], can well see that you must advance a long way before you will progress by "[[sight]]" and "[[material]]" [[assurance]]. You will long use [[faith]] and be dependent on [[revelation]] if you [[hope]] to [[progress]] quickly and safely.
