23:2.5 The [[confusion]] and turmoil of [[Urantia]] do not signify that the Paradise Rulers lack either interest or [[ability]] to manage affairs [[differently]]. The Creators are [[possessed]] of full [[power]] to make [[Urantia]] a veritable [[paradise]], but such an [[Eden]] would not contribute to the [[development]] of those strong, [[noble]], and experienced [[characters]] which the Gods are so surely forging out on your world between the anvils of [[necessity]] and the hammers of anguish. Your [[anxieties]] and [[sorrows]], your trials and [[disappointments]], are just as much a part of the [[divine]] plan on your [[sphere]] as are the exquisite [[perfection]] and [[infinite]] adaptation of [[all things]] to their supreme [[purpose]] on the worlds of the [[Havona|central and perfect universe]].

23:2.6 2. ''Messengers of the Havona Circuits''. Throughout the [[ascendant career]] you will be vaguely, but increasingly, able to detect the [[presence]] of the Solitary Messengers, but not until you reach [[Havona]] will you recognize them unmistakably. The first of the messengers you will see [[Interface|face to face]] will be those of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_14_-_The_Central_and_Divine_Universe#14:1._THE_PARADISE-HAVONA_SYSTEM Havona circuits].

23:2.7 Solitary Messengers enjoy special [[relations]] with the natives of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_14_-_The_Central_and_Divine_Universe#14:4._CREATURES_OF_THE_CENTRAL_UNIVERSE Havona worlds].

But it is quite impossible to convey to [[human]] [[minds]] the [[supreme]] [[satisfactions]] consequent upon the contact of the [[minds]] of these divinely [[perfect]] [[beings]] with the spirits of such near-transcendent personalities.

23:2.8 3. ''Messengers of the Superuniverses''. The [[Ancients of Days]], those [[personalities]] of [[Trinity]] [[origin]] who preside over the [[destinies]] of the [[seven superuniverses]], those trios of [[divine]] [[power]] and [[administrative]] [[wisdom]], are bountifully supplied with Solitary Messengers. It is only through this order of [[messengers]] that the triune rulers of one [[superuniverse]] can directly and [[personally]] [[communicate]] with the rulers of another. Solitary Messengers are the only available [[type]] of [[spirit]] [[intelligence]]—aside, possibly, from the [[Inspired Trinity Spirits]]—that can be dispatched from the headquarters of one [[superuniverse]] directly to the headquarters of another. All other [[personalities]] must make such excursions by way of [[Havona]] and the executive worlds of the [[Master Spirits]].

23:2.9 There are some kinds of [[information]] which cannot be obtained either by [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_31#31:2._GRAVITY_MESSENGERS Gravity Messengers], [[reflectivity]], or [[broadcast]]. And when the [[Ancients of Days]] would certainly know these [[things]], they must dispatch a Solitary Messenger to the [[source]] of [[knowledge]]. Long before the [[presence]] of life on [[Urantia]] the messenger now [[associated]] with me was assigned on a mission out of [[Uversa]] to the [[central universe]]—was absent from the roll calls of [[Orvonton]] for almost a million years but returned in due time with the [[desired]] [[information]].

23:2.10 There is no [[limitation]] upon the [[service]] of Solitary Messengers in the [[superuniverses]]; they may [[function]] as [[executioners]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_15#15:12._THE_SUPREME_TRIBUNALS high tribunals] or as [[intelligence]] gatherers for the [[good]] of the realm. Of all the supercreations they most delight to serve in [[Orvonton]] because here the need is greatest and the [[opportunities]] for [[heroic]] effort are greatly multiplied. In the more needy realms we all enjoy the [[satisfaction]] of a more replete [[function]].

23:2.11 4. ''Messengers of the Local Universes''. In the [[services]] of a [[local universe]] there is no [[limit]] upon the functioning of the Solitary Messengers. They are the [[faithful]] revealers of the [[motives]] and [[intent]] of the [[local universe]] [[Mother Spirit]], although they are under the full [[jurisdiction]] of the reigning [[Master Son]]. And this is true of all [[messengers]] operating in a [[local universe]], whether they are traveling out directly from [[universe]] headquarters, or whether they are [[acting]] temporarily in [[liaison]] with [[Constellation Fathers]], [[System Sovereigns]], or [[Planetary Princes]]. Before the [[concentration]] of all [[power]] in the hands of a [[Creator Son]] at the [[time]] of his elevation as [[sovereign]] ruler of his [[universe]], these messengers of the local universes [[function]] under the general direction of the [[Ancients of Days]] and are [[immediately]] responsible to their resident [[representative]], the [[Union of Days]].

23:2.12 5. ''Explorers of Undirected Assignment''. When the reserve corps of the Solitary Messengers is overrecruited, there issues from one of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_29#29:1._THE_SEVEN_SUPREME_POWER_DIRECTORS Seven Supreme Power Directors] a call for [[exploration]] volunteers; and there is never a lack of volunteers, for they delight to be dispatched as [[free]] and untrammeled [[explorers]], to [[experience]] the thrill of finding the [[organizing]] [[nucleuses]] of new worlds and [[universes]].

23:2.13 They go forth to [[investigate]] the clues furnished by the [[space]] contemplators of the realms. Undoubtedly the [[Paradise Deities]] know of the [[existence]] of these [[Unknown|undiscovered]] [[energy]] [[systems]] of [[space]], but they never divulge such [[information]]. If the Solitary Messengers did not explore and chart these newly organizing energy centers, such [[phenomena]] would long remain unnoticed even by the [[intelligences]] of adjacent realms. Solitary Messengers, as a class, are highly [[sensitive]] to [[gravity]]; accordingly they can sometimes detect the [[probable]] [[presence]] of very small [[dark]] [[planets]], the very worlds which are best adapted to life [[experiments]].

23:2.14 These [[messenger]]-[[explorers]] of undirected assignment patrol the [[master universe]]. They are constantly out on exploring expeditions to the uncharted regions of all [[outer space]]. Very much of the [[information]] which we [[possess]] of [[transactions]] in the realms of[[ outer space]], we owe to the explorations of the Solitary Messengers as they often [[work]] and [[study]] with the [[celestial]] [[astronomers]].

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.

23:2.16 When it [[develops]] that it will require hundreds of years for a native [[ambassador]] to reach a far-distant local [[universe]], a Solitary Messenger is often asked to [[proceed]] there [[immediately]] to act as ambassador ad interim. Solitary Messengers can go in very short order, not [[independently]] of [[time and space]] as do the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_31_-_The_Corps_of_the_Finality#31:2._GRAVITY_MESSENGERS Gravity Messengers], but nearly so. They also serve in other [[circumstances]] as emissaries of special assignment.

23:2.17 7. ''Revelators of Truth''. The Solitary Messengers regard the assignment to [[reveal]] [[truth]] as the highest [[trust]] of their order. And they [[function]] ever and anon in this capacity, from the [[superuniverses]] to the [[individual planets]] of space. They are frequently attached to commissions which are sent to enlarge the [[revelation]] of [[truth]] to the worlds and systems.
