112- General Characteristics: No influence from matter; absolute intellectual and moral superiority in relation to the spirits of the other orders.
113- First and only class. These spirits have ascended through all of the degrees of the hierarchy and have freed themselves from all the impurities of matter. Having reached the highest perfection possible for created beings, they have no more trials or expiations to endure. Moreover, because they are no longer subject to reincarnation in perishable bodies, they live eternally in the bosom of God.
Since they are no longer subject to the needs or the vicissitudes of material life, they enjoy unalterable bliss; nevertheless, such bliss is not a monotonous idleness lived in perpetual contemplation. They are the messengers and ministers of God, whose orders they carry out to maintain universal harmony. They direct all the spirits beneath them, help them to perfect themselves and assign them their missions. They assist humans in their distress and inspire them to do good or to expiate the wrongs that keep them from supreme bliss. Sometimes these spirits are called angels, archangels or seraphim.
Humans may communicate with them, but those who claim to have them constantly at their orders are very presumptuous indeed.
