| Angel of momentum | Paula |
An angel of the law stands before the Throne of God today. He has a swinging plumb bob in his hand as a symbol of his task. He carries the law of God over creation, over the earth: the law of momentum.
Everything in creation is of a marvellous measure and an interlocking order, like the gears of a fine mechanism. The Creator has considered everything down to the atom of nature and to the finest folds of our soul.
The angel with the swinging plumb line,
Saint Vidiel,
is from the Choir of the Lower Powers. The law of momentum applies first to the material creation. The operation and effect of this law in the measure and order of God entails the building up and flourishing of creation. The enslavement of this law by the forces of darkness for the purpose of destruction (think of the bombs!) leads to the decline and ultimately the dissolution of creation. As a natural law, momentum is neutral. It can be used positively in the sense of God, and it can be used negatively in the sense of Satan; this is up to us. That it is of great importance is shown by the fact that it is guarded by an Angel of Power, whose very name says that he is more than a Virtue or a Prince.
Three great forces of nature are guarded by the Sealed Powers: the impulse force, the tensile force and the inertia force; they will play an important role in the End Times. The Lower Powers carry gravity, momentum or centrifugal force, the causal force and the creative force. Other laws derive from these.
Saint Vidiel and all the angels who carry such laws also have the spiritual task of transmitting these laws into the spiritual realm and of protecting them. Thus Saint Vidiel carries the threefold power of God: as the divine power of life, of the Word and of love. He carries it into the great spiritual realm of creation of the soul as a force of gravity, momentum and creativity, which gives the soul stability, fullness and substance. Every word sinks into the soul, and “there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed.” Love sinks to the bottom of the heart and takes root there, and it is only deep love that counts before God, not shallow, superficial love.
Prayer: Lord, let the great laws of creation also take effect in us. Let them mould us and give us a firm foundation on which You can build Your House, and yet give us so much momentum that we can lift the whole of creation up with us to You. Amen.
