The Mystery of Creation: Chapter 6: Limited Wills: Elementals Are Like Animals and Plants

Elementals Are Like Animals and Plants

                Okay…so maybe you might agree about angels, that they are highly free will beings, but what about elementals; those forces of nature that cause all things to move?  On the surface it may seem as though they have no free will.  After all, like plants, the forces behind nature seem to act more like a computer, following set guidelines and patterns.

                To be sure, there is no real way to know if they have enslaved or free wills or to what degree their wills are free.  I would say that if you observe nature you find that elementals, or the forces of nature, are much like animals and plants.  Some forces of nature are sporadic and unpredictable even as a wild animal can be sporadic and unpredictable at times.  Sure, even wild animals have some patterns in how they function and operate, but there is always that hint of unpredictable that is there.  Many animal experts have been killed because they were confident that they could predict an animal’s actions only to find out that they were very wrong.  In the same way, some forces of nature we think we know how they are going to behave, but in the end, for whatever reason, they “choose” to do something different.  Weather is a good example of this type of force of nature. 

                But then there are forces of nature that ALWAYS do what is expected.  It is like they are programmed to do the same thing all the time, every time.  There is never a variation in the way they will react to things.  Gravity, for example, always does what it is supposed to each and every time.  It obeys its set commands and functions the same way all the time.

                Therefore, it is logical to conclude that some forces of nature, some elementals, have more enslaved wills while others have more free wills, just as plants have more enslaved wills and animals have more free wills.  With the free will elementals, they seem to be very similar to animals in that although they are free and can make choices of their own, nevertheless they are programmed to be more subservient.  Just as a wild animal can be tamed by men, so it makes sense that angels can, and they likely do, tame elementals.
