Natural Catastrophes

 

Question:

After watching a video on the impact of the Los Angeles fires, I pose this question: Where lies the power of man in relation to the forces of nature, which remain steadfast and obedient to the Will of the Almighty?

Response:
This question about the power of man in relation to the forces of nature is both profound and timely, especially as we witness severe events like the Los Angeles fires and the devastating losses that accompany them.

Man, through thought, word, and deed, exerts an influence that shapes the activities of the elemental beings who administer the workings of nature.

When man aligns his will with what is good, pure, and in harmony with Natural Law, the elementals work to create conditions that promote peace, balance, and well-being. Through their serving, the Will of the Almighty manifests in a peaceful and nurturing environment. Conversely, when man's actions are destructive—driven by greed, negligence, wilful disobedience, mocking the Lord, or disregard for the sanctity of Creation —the elementals mirror these imbalances, often resulting in natural upheavals.

It is essential to recognise that the elementals are not in man's service. They serve the Almighty and operate in obedience to His divine laws. Their purpose is not to punish but to enact the consequences of humanity's collective actions.

The elementals, therefore, do not yield to man's will but remain subject to the immutable laws of the Almighty. Among these laws is the Law of Sowing and Reaping—a divine law that ensures every thought, word, or deed bears corresponding consequences.

Even when immense environmental change becomes inevitable, the elementals offer warnings—sometimes subtle, other times overt—so man might prepare and mitigate its impact. Yet, such guidance can only be heeded by those attuned to the workings of divine laws.

The natural disasters we witness, such as fires, floods, and other calamities, are not arbitrary acts of chaos but profound reminders of the interconnectedness between humanity and the natural world. They compel us to reflect on our actions and take responsibility for the state of our environment.

In conclusion, man plays a pivotal role in determining the outcomes for himself and his material environment. He has been entrusted with the capacity to work with the neutral power of Creation through his inner will and thoughts. However, he remains accountable for the outcomes of his free volition.

By intuiting and thinking of only what is good, living in harmony with creation, and especially acting positively with the law of Sowing and Reaping, humanity can cultivate a future where peace and balance prevail. The elementals, steadfast in their obedience to the Almighty, will then foster conditions that reflect the harmonious state of man's inner will and alignment with Natural Law.
