Inspired Trinity Spirits

19:5.1I will be able to tell you very lit­tle con­cern­ing the In­spired Trin­ity Spir­its, for they are one of the few wholly se­cret or­ders of be­ings in ex­is­tence, se­cret, no doubt, be­cause it is im­pos­si­ble for them fully to re­veal them­selves even to those of us whose ori­gin is so near the source of their cre­ation. They come into be­ing by the act of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity and may be uti­lized by any one or two of the De­i­ties as well as by all three. We do not know whether these Spir­its are of com­pleted num­bers or are con­stantly in­creas­ing, but we in­cline to the be­lief that their num­ber is not fixed.

19:5.2We fully un­der­stand nei­ther the na­ture nor the con­duct of the In­spired Spir­its. They may pos­si­bly be­long to the cat­e­gory of super­per­sonal spir­its. They seem to op­er­ate over all known cir­cuits and ap­pear to act well-nigh in­de­pen­dently of time and space. But we know lit­tle about them ex­cept as we de­duce their char­ac­ter from the na­ture of their ac­tiv­i­ties, the re­sults of which we cer­tainly ob­serve here and there in the uni­verses.

19:5.3Un­der cer­tain con­di­tions these In­spired Spir­its can in­di­vid­u­al­ize them­selves suf­fi­ciently for rec­og­ni­tion by be­ings of Trin­ity ori­gin. I have seen them; but it would never be pos­si­ble for the lower or­ders of ce­les­tial be­ings to rec­og­nize one of them. Cer­tain cir­cum­stances also arise from time to time in the con­duct of the evolv­ing uni­verses in which any be­ing of Trin­ity ori­gin may di­rectly em­ploy these Spir­its in the fur­ther­ance of his as­sign­ments. We there­fore know that they ex­ist, and that un­der cer­tain con­di­tions we may com­mand and re­ceive their as­sis­tance, some­times rec­og­nize their pres­ence. But they are not a part of the man­i­fest and def­i­nitely re­vealed or­ga­ni­za­tion in­trusted with the con­duct of the time-space uni­verses be­fore such ma­te­rial cre­ations are set­tled in light and life. They have no clearly dis­cern­i­ble place in the pres­ent econ­omy or ad­min­is­tra­tion of the evolv­ing seven super­uni­verses. They are a se­cret of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity.

19:5.4The Mel­chiz­e­deks of Neb­a­don teach that In­spired Trin­ity Spir­its are des­tined, some­time in the eter­nal fu­ture, to func­tion in the places of the Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers, whose ranks are slowly but cer­tainly be­ing de­pleted by their as­sign­ment as as­so­ciates of cer­tain types of trin­i­tized sons.

19:5.5The In­spired Spir­its are the soli­tary Spir­its of the uni­verse of uni­verses. As Spir­its they are very much like the Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers ex­cept that the lat­ter are dis­tinct per­son­al­i­ties. We ob­tain much of our knowl­edge of the In­spired Spir­its from the Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers, who de­tect their near­ness by virtue of an in­her­ent sen­si­tiv­ity to the pres­ence of the In­spired Spir­its which func­tions just as un­fail­ingly as a mag­netic nee­dle points to a mag­netic pole. When a Soli­tary Mes­sen­ger is near an In­spired Trin­ity Spirit, he is con­scious of a qual­i­ta­tive in­di­ca­tion of such a di­vine pres­ence and also of a very def­i­nite quan­ti­ta­tive reg­is­tra­tion which en­ables him ac­tu­ally to know the clas­si­fi­ca­tion or num­ber of the Spirit pres­ence or pres­ences.

19:5.6I may re­late a fur­ther in­ter­est­ing fact: When a Soli­tary Mes­sen­ger is on a planet whose in­hab­i­tants are in­dwelt by Thought Ad­justers, as on Uran­tia, he is aware of a qual­i­ta­tive ex­ci­ta­tion in his de­tec­tion-sen­si­tiv­ity to spirit pres­ence. In such in­stances there is no quan­ti­ta­tive ex­ci­ta­tion, only a qual­i­ta­tive ag­i­ta­tion. When on a planet to which Ad­justers do not come, con­tact with the na­tives does not pro­duce any such re­ac­tion. This sug­gests that Thought Ad­justers are in some man­ner re­lated to, or are con­nected with, the In­spired Spir­its of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity. In some way they may pos­si­bly be as­so­ci­ated in cer­tain phases of their work; but we do not re­ally know. They both orig­i­nate near the cen­ter and source of all things, but they are not the same or­der of be­ing. Thought Ad­justers spring from the Fa­ther alone; In­spired Spir­its are the off­spring of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity.

19:5.7The In­spired Spir­its do not ap­par­ently be­long to the evo­lu­tion­ary scheme of the in­di­vid­ual plan­ets or uni­verses, and yet they seem to be al­most ev­ery­where. Even as I am en­gaged in the for­mu­la­tion of this state­ment, my as­so­ci­ated Soli­tary Mes­sen­ger’s per­sonal sen­si­tiv­ity to the pres­ence of this or­der of Spirit in­di­cates that there is with us at this very mo­ment, not over twenty-five feet away, a Spirit of the In­spired or­der and of the third vol­ume of power pres­ence. The third vol­ume of power pres­ence sug­gests to us the prob­a­bil­ity that three In­spired Spir­its are func­tion­ing in li­ai­son.

19:5.8Of more than twelve or­ders of be­ings as­so­ci­ated with me at this time, the Soli­tary Mes­sen­ger is the only one aware of the pres­ence of these mys­te­ri­ous en­ti­ties of the Trin­ity. And fur­ther, while we are thus ap­prised of the near­ness of these di­vine Spir­its, we are all equally ig­no­rant of their mis­sion. We re­ally do not know whether they are merely in­ter­ested ob­servers of our do­ings, or whether they are, in some man­ner un­known to us, ac­tu­ally con­tribut­ing to the suc­cess of our un­der­tak­ing.

19:5.9We know that the Trin­ity Teacher Sons are de­voted to the con­scious en­light­en­ment of uni­verse crea­tures. I have ar­rived at the set­tled con­clu­sion that the In­spired Trin­ity Spir­its, by super­con­scious tech­niques, are also func­tion­ing as teach­ers of the realms. I am per­suaded that there is a vast body of es­sen­tial spir­i­tual knowl­edge, truth in­dis­pens­able to high spir­i­tual at­tain­ment, which can­not be con­sciously re­ceived; self-con­scious­ness would ef­fec­tively jeop­ar­dize the cer­tainty of re­cep­tion. If we are right in this con­cept, and my en­tire or­der of be­ing shares it, it may be the mis­sion of these In­spired Spir­its to over­come this dif­fi­culty, to bridge this gap in the uni­ver­sal scheme of moral en­light­en­ment and spir­i­tual ad­vance­ment. We think that these two types of Trin­ity-ori­gin teach­ers ef­fect some kind of li­ai­son in their ac­tiv­i­ties, but we do not re­ally know.

19:5.10On the super­uni­verse train­ing worlds and on the eter­nal cir­cuits of Ha­vona, I have frat­er­nized with the per­fect­ing mor­tals—spir­i­tu­al­ized and as­cen­dant souls from the evo­lu­tion­ary realms—but never have they been aware of the In­spired Spir­its, which ever and anon the pow­ers of de­tec­tion res­i­dent in the Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers would in­di­cate were very near us. I have freely con­versed with all or­ders of the Sons of God, high and low, and they like­wise are un­con­scious of the ad­mo­ni­tions of the In­spired Trin­ity Spir­its. They can and do look back in their ex­pe­ri­ences and re­count hap­pen­ings which are dif­fi­cult to ex­plain if the ac­tion of such Spir­its is not taken into ac­count. But ex­cept­ing Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers, and some­times Trin­ity-ori­gin be­ings, none of the ce­les­tial fam­ily have ever been con­scious of the near­ness of the In­spired Spir­its.

19:5.11I do not be­lieve the In­spired Trin­ity Spir­its are play­ing hide and seek with me. They are prob­a­bly try­ing just as hard to dis­close them­selves to me as I am to com­mu­ni­cate with them; our dif­fi­cul­ties and lim­i­ta­tions must be mu­tual and in­her­ent. I am sat­is­fied that there are no ar­bi­trary se­crets in the uni­verse; there­fore will I never cease in my ef­forts to solve the mys­tery of the iso­la­tion of these Spir­its be­long­ing to my or­der of cre­ation.

19:5.12And from all this, you mor­tals, just now tak­ing your first step on the eter­nal jour­ney, can well see that you must ad­vance a long way be­fore you will pro­gress by “sight” and “ma­te­rial” as­sur­ance. You will long use faith and be de­pen­dent on rev­e­la­tion if you hope to pro­gress quickly and safely.

107:4.4Non­per­son­al­ized Ad­justers are vis­i­ble only to Per­son­al­ized Ad­justers. My or­der, the Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers, to­gether with In­spired Trin­ity Spir­its, can de­tect the pres­ence of Ad­justers by means of spir­i­tual re­ac­tive phe­nom­ena; and even ser­a­phim can some­times dis­cern the spirit lu­mi­nos­ity of sup­posed as­so­ci­a­tion with the pres­ence of Mon­i­tors in the ma­te­rial minds of men; but none of us are able ac­tu­ally to dis­cern the real pres­ence of Ad­justers, not un­less they have been per­son­al­ized, al­beit their na­tures are per­ceiv­able in union with the fused per­son­al­i­ties of the as­cend­ing mor­tals from the evo­lu­tion­ary worlds. The uni­ver­sal in­vis­i­bil­ity of the Ad­justers is strongly sug­ges­tive of their high and ex­clu­sive di­vine ori­gin and na­ture.

23:2.153. Mes­sen­gers of the Super­uni­verses. The An­cients of Days, those per­son­al­i­ties of Trin­ity ori­gin who pre­side over the des­tinies of the seven super­uni­verses, those trios of di­vine power and ad­min­is­tra­tive wis­dom, are boun­ti­fully sup­plied with Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers. It is only through this or­der of mes­sen­gers that the tri­une rulers of one super­uni­verse can di­rectly and per­son­ally com­mu­ni­cate with the rulers of an­other. Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers are the only avail­able type of spirit in­tel­li­gence—aside, pos­si­bly, from the In­spired Trin­ity Spir­its—that can be dis­patched from the head­quar­ters of one super­uni­verse di­rectly to the head­quar­ters of an­other. All other per­son­al­i­ties must make such ex­cur­sions by way of Ha­vona and the ex­ec­u­tive worlds of the Mas­ter Spir­its.

• in outer space

29:5.7The Mas­ter Force Or­ga­niz­ers with­stand tem­per­a­tures and func­tion un­der phys­i­cal con­di­tions which would be in­tol­er­a­ble even to the ver­sa­tile power cen­ters and phys­i­cal con­trol­lers of Or­von­ton. The only other types of re­vealed be­ings ca­pa­ble of func­tion­ing in these realms of outer space are the Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers and the In­spired Trin­ity Spir­its.

• relationship with Architects of Master Universe and Transcendentalers

31:9.13All be­ings pro­duced by the union of the chil­dren of time and eter­nity, such as the trin­i­tized off­spring of the fi­nal­i­ters and the Par­a­dise Cit­i­zens, be­come wards of the Mas­ter Ar­chi­tects. But of all other crea­tures or en­ti­ties re­vealed as func­tion­ing in the pres­ent or­ga­nized uni­verses, only Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers and In­spired Trin­ity Spir­its main­tain any or­ganic as­so­ci­a­tion with the Tran­scen­den­talers and the Ar­chi­tects of the Mas­ter Uni­verse.

• as Most High Assistants

37:4.2From time to time we thus ben­e­fit from the min­istry and as­sis­tance of such Par­a­dise-ori­gin be­ings as Per­fec­tors of Wis­dom, Di­vine Coun­selors, Uni­ver­sal Cen­sors, In­spired Trin­ity Spir­its, Trin­i­tized Sons, Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers, super­na­phim, se­con­a­phim, ter­tiaphim, and other gra­cious min­is­ters, who so­journ with us for the pur­pose of help­ing our na­tive per­son­al­i­ties in the ef­fort to bring all Neb­a­don into fuller har­mony with the ideas of Or­von­ton and the ide­als of Par­a­dise.

• serve Unions of Days in light and life

55:10.3The As­so­ciate In­spec­tor now mo­bi­lizes all As­signed Sen­tinels to con­sti­tute the sta­bi­liza­tion corps of the lo­cal uni­verse and asks the Fa­ther Mel­chiz­e­dek to share its super­vi­sion with him. And now, for the first time, a corps of the In­spired Trin­ity Spir­its are as­signed to the ser­vice of the Union of Days.

30:1.202. In­spired Trin­ity Spir­its.

30:2.3412. In­spired Trin­ity Spir­its.

23:1.9There is a tech­ni­cal rea­son why these Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers must travel and work alone. For short pe­ri­ods and when sta­tion­ary, they can col­lab­o­rate in a group, but when thus en­sem­bled, they are al­to­gether cut off from the sus­te­nance and di­rec­tion of their Par­a­dise cir­cuit; they are wholly iso­lated. When in tran­sit, or when op­er­at­ing in the cir­cuits of space and the cur­rents of time, if two or more of this or­der are in close prox­im­ity, both or all are thrown out of li­ai­son with the higher cir­cu­lat­ing forces. They are “short cir­cuited” as you might de­scribe it in il­lus­tra­tive sym­bols. There­fore they have in­her­ent within them a power of au­to­matic alarm, a warn­ing sig­nal, which unerringly op­er­ates to ap­prise them of ap­proach­ing con­flicts and un­fail­ingly keeps them suf­fi­ciently sep­a­rated as not to in­ter­fere with their proper and ef­fec­tive func­tion­ing. They also pos­sess in­her­ent and au­to­matic pow­ers which de­tect and in­di­cate the prox­im­ity of both the In­spired Trin­ity Spir­its and the di­vine Thought Ad­justers.

108:3.9We are aware of the pres­ence of the Ad­justers, who are frag­ments of the preper­sonal De­ity of the First Source and Cen­ter. We sense the pres­ence of the In­spired Trin­ity Spir­its, who are super­per­sonal ex­pres­sions of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity. We like­wise un­fail­ingly de­tect the spirit pres­ence of cer­tain un­re­vealed or­ders spring­ing from the Eter­nal Son and the In­fi­nite Spirit. And we are not wholly un­re­spon­sive to still other en­ti­ties un­re­vealed to you.

19:0.9Ex­cept­ing the Trin­ity Teacher Sons and pos­si­bly the In­spired Trin­ity Spir­its, these groups are of def­i­nite num­bers; their cre­ation is a fin­ished and past event.

42:12.10Even spirit be­ings have form, and these spirit forms (pat­terns) are real. Even the high­est type of spirit per­son­al­i­ties have forms—per­son­al­ity pres­ences in ev­ery sense anal­o­gous to Uran­tia mor­tal bod­ies. Nearly all be­ings en­coun­tered in the seven super­uni­verses are pos­sessed of forms. But there are a few ex­cep­tions to this gen­eral rule: Thought Ad­justers ap­pear to be with­out form un­til af­ter fu­sion with the sur­viv­ing souls of their mor­tal as­so­ciates. Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers, In­spired Trin­ity Spir­its, Per­sonal Aids of the In­fi­nite Spirit, Grav­ity Mes­sen­gers, Tran­scen­den­tal Re­cord­ers, and cer­tain oth­ers are also with­out dis­cov­er­able form. But these are typ­i­cal of the ex­cep­tional few; the great ma­jor­ity have bona fide per­son­al­ity forms, forms which are in­di­vid­u­ally char­ac­ter­is­tic, and which are rec­og­niz­able and per­son­ally dis­tin­guish­able.
