The Solitary Messengers

23:0.1Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers are the per­sonal and uni­ver­sal corps of the Con­joint Cre­ator; they are the first and se­nior or­der of the 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.

23:0.2These 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.
