The pure Spirits

The pure Spirits are those who, having arrived at the highest degree of perfection, are judged worthy of being admitted to the feet of God. The infinite splendor that surrounds them does not exempt them from being useful in the works of Creation: the functions they must fulfill correspond to the extent of their faculties. These Spirits are the ministers of God; under his orders, they govern the innumerable worlds; they direct from on high the spirits and human beings; they are bound to one another by a love without limits, and this ardor extends over all the beings they seek to attract so that they may become worthy of supreme happiness. God radiates upon them and transmits to them his orders; they see him without being dazzled by his light. Their form is etheral, having nothing palpable; they speak to the superior spirits and communicate to them their science; they become infallible. It is from their ranks that the guardian angels are chosen, who graciously lower their gaze upon mortals, and commend them to the superior spirits, who have loved them. These choose the agents of their direction among the spirits of the second order. The pure Spirits are equal, nor could it be otherwise, for they are called to this position only after having attained the highest degree of perfection. There is equality, but not uniformity, for God did not will that any of his works should be identical. The pure Spirits preserve their personality, which has merely acquired the most complete perfection in the direction of its starting point. It is not permitted to give more details about this supreme world. [See:
