23:3.7 I am at a loss to explain to [[Urantia]] [[mortals]] how the Solitary Messengers can be without [[form]] and yet possess real and definite [[personalities]]. 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]]. Solitary Messengers are an [[exception]] to this general [[law]]. They are in their [[activities]] all but unrestricted in the utilization of any and all of the [[limitless]] avenues of [[spiritual]] [[expression]], [[divine]] [[service]], [[personal]] ministry, and [[cosmic]] [[communication]]. If you could view these extraordinary [[beings]] in the [[light]] of my [[experience]] in [[universe]] [[administration]], you would [[comprehend]] how [[difficult]] it would be to [[co-ordinate]] [[superuniverse]] affairs were it not for their [[versatile]] [[co-operation]].

23:3.9 No matter how much the [[universe]] may enlarge, no more Solitary Messengers will [[probably]] ever be [[created]]. As the universes grow, the expanded work of [[administration]] must be increasingly borne by other [[types]] of spirit ministers and by those beings who take [[origin]] in these new [[creations]], such as the [[creatures]] of the [[Sovereign Sons]] and the [[local universe]] [[Mother Spirit]]s.
