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 [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_31#31:2._GRAVITY_MESSENGERS Gravity Messengers] and [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_30#PAPER_30:_PERSONALITIES_OF_THE_GRAND_UNIVERSE Transcendental Recorders (30:1.15)], but they are not available to the [[Superuniverse|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 [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Light_year 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 (4.52+ million x [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Light_year speed of light]) of your miles per second of your [[time]].

23:3.4 It is wholly beyond my [[ability]] to explain to the [[material]] [[type]] of [[mind]] how a [[spirit]] can be a real [[person]] and at the same time traverse [[space]] at such tremendous [[velocities]]. But these very Solitary Messengers actually come to, and go from, [[Urantia]] at these incomprehensible speeds; indeed, the whole [[economy]] of [[universal]] [[administration]] would be largely deprived of its [[personal]] element were this not a [[fact]].
