Higher Personalities of the Infinite Spirit

24:3.1We have no au­then­tic knowl­edge as to the time or man­ner of the cre­ation of the Per­sonal Aids. Their num­ber must be le­gion, but it is not of rec­ord on Uversa. From con­ser­va­tive de­duc­tions based on our knowl­edge of their work, I ven­ture to es­ti­mate that their num­ber ex­tends high into the tril­lions. We hold the opin­ion that the In­fi­nite Spirit is not lim­ited as to num­bers in the cre­ation of these Per­sonal Aids.

24:3.2The Per­sonal Aids of the In­fi­nite Spirit ex­ist for the ex­clu­sive as­sis­tance of the Par­a­dise pres­ence of the Third Per­son of De­ity. Al­though at­tached di­rectly to the In­fi­nite Spirit and lo­cated on Par­a­dise, they flash to and fro to the ut­ter­most parts of cre­ation. Wher­ever the cir­cuits of the Con­joint Cre­ator ex­tend, there these Per­sonal Aids may ap­pear for the pur­pose of ex­e­cut­ing the bid­ding of the In­fi­nite Spirit. They tra­verse space much as do the Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers but are not per­sons in the sense that the mes­sen­gers are.

24:3.3The Per­sonal Aids are all equal and iden­ti­cal; they dis­close no dif­fer­en­ti­a­tion of in­di­vid­u­al­ity. Though the Con­joint Ac­tor looks upon them as true per­son­al­i­ties, it is dif­fi­cult for oth­ers to re­gard them as real per­sons; they do not man­i­fest a spirit pres­ence to other spirit be­ings. Par­a­dise-ori­gin be­ings are al­ways aware of the prox­im­ity of these Aids; but we do not rec­og­nize a per­son­al­ity pres­ence. The lack of such a pres­ence-form un­doubt­edly ren­ders them all the more ser­vice­able to the Third Per­son of De­ity.

24:3.4Of all the re­vealed or­ders of spirit be­ings tak­ing ori­gin in the In­fi­nite Spirit, the Per­sonal Aids are about the only ones you will not en­counter on your in­ward as­cent to Par­a­dise.
