Paper 24

Higher Personalities of the Infinite Spirit

Divine Counselor

24:0.1On Uversa we di­vide all per­son­al­i­ties and en­ti­ties of the Con­joint Cre­ator into three grand di­vi­sions: the Higher Per­son­al­i­ties of the In­fi­nite Spirit, the Mes­sen­ger Hosts of Space, and the Min­is­ter­ing Spir­its of Time, those spirit be­ings who are con­cerned with teach­ing and min­is­ter­ing to the will crea­tures of the as­cen­dant scheme of mor­tal pro­gres­sion.

24:0.2Those Higher Per­son­al­i­ties of the In­fi­nite Spirit that find men­tion in these nar­ra­tives func­tion through­out the grand uni­verse in seven di­vi­sions:

24:0.31. Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers.

24:0.42. Uni­verse Cir­cuit Super­vi­sors.

24:0.53. Cen­sus Di­rec­tors.

24:0.64. Per­sonal Aids of the In­fi­nite Spirit.

24:0.75. As­so­ciate In­spec­tors.

24:0.86. As­signed Sen­tinels.

24:0.97. Grad­u­ate Guides.

24:0.10Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers, Cir­cuit Super­vi­sors, Cen­sus Di­rec­tors, and the Per­sonal Aids are char­ac­ter­ized by the pos­ses­sion of tremen­dous en­dow­ments of anti­grav­ity. The Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers are with­out known gen­eral head­quar­ters; they roam the uni­verse of uni­verses. The Uni­verse Cir­cuit Super­vi­sors and the Cen­sus Di­rec­tors main­tain head­quar­ters on the cap­i­tals of the super­uni­verses. The Per­sonal Aids of the In­fi­nite Spirit are sta­tioned on the cen­tral Isle of Light. The As­so­ciate In­spec­tors and the As­signed Sen­tinels are re­spec­tively sta­tioned on the cap­i­tals of the lo­cal uni­verses and on the cap­i­tals of their com­po­nent sys­tems. The Grad­u­ate Guides are res­i­dent in the Ha­vona uni­verse and func­tion on all its bil­lion worlds. Most of these higher per­son­al­i­ties have sta­tions in the lo­cal uni­verses, but they are not or­gan­i­cally at­tached to the ad­min­is­tra­tions of the evo­lu­tion­ary realms.

24:0.11Of the seven classes com­pos­ing this group, only the Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers and per­haps the Per­sonal Aids range the uni­verse of uni­verses. Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers are en­coun­tered from Par­a­dise out­ward: through the Ha­vona cir­cuits to the super­uni­verse cap­i­tals and thence out through the sec­tors and lo­cal uni­verses, with their sub­di­vi­sions, and even to the in­hab­ited worlds. Al­though Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers be­long to the Higher Per­son­al­i­ties of the In­fi­nite Spirit, their ori­gin, na­ture, and ser­vice have been dis­cussed in the pre­ced­ing pa­per.
