Archangel Uriel
St. Uriel is identified as one of the Seven
Spirits before the Throne.
He is the spirit of ministration and peace.
The Archangel Uriel has been called "the Lord of powerful action,
He helps turn our worst disappointments into our greatest blessings.
He is the Archangel of salvation, devotion, sudden changes, universal
cosmic consciousness,
divine order, emergencies, judgment, enlightenment and insights.
Some accounts place the Archangel
Uriel at the head of the third order or company of angels. Others
identify Uriel as one of the Seven Spirits before the Throne. Qabalists
assign Uriel to the middle pillar of the Tree of Life, and specifically
to the sephirah Malkuth, the Kingdom. Malkuth is often
associated with the Shekinah, the Glory of God and the divine presence
in the world. Malkuth represents the lowest point of descent of the
divine force, from which it ascends again to complete the cycle of
manifestation and pralaya. The penetration of divine force to the
physical plane is of particular interest, at this time, because of the
increasing intensity of seventh-ray energy in the world and growing
emphasis on healing work.
The Archangel Uriel has been
called "the Lord of powerful action"
[Helena Roerich. Heart. Agni Yoga Society, 1932, 268].
Uriel personifies the Divine Fire that comes down from the Third Aspect
of Deity--Universal Mind--penetrating each plane until It reaches the
physical. There, the Fire ignites the fusion in the center of the Sun,
the fission at the center of the Earth, and the kundalini at the base of
the spine. It creates worlds, universes, and life--which then await the
quickening impulse of the Second Aspect to evolve and grow.
The feast day of the Archangel Uriel
is celebrated July 28.
