Personal Aids 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.

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.

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.
