A clue during Uriel's transubstation - Skin Games Spoilers!

(1/5) > >>

Yuillegan:
Hi All,

So I was re-reading Skin Games recently and noticed a line I have noticed before but forgotten to mention. After the initial fight between Murphy and Nicodemus where Murphy is injured and Michael steps in to save her, Uriel appears. And essentially acts like himself and an angel. He pleads with Michael Carpenter to not leave the boundary of the house, but Michael insists. So he assists Michael in crossing the boundary by bestowing his angelic essence, his grace, into Michael.

When explaining what happened to Michael after Harry accidentally breaks Uriel's nose and everyone begins to notice that an Archangel can bleed and realizing that is not normal - he says the line "It was not with our power to heal what was done to you". The use of "our" in that sentence has piqued my interest.

Is Uriel one part of a greater whole? The simplest explanation was he was using the royal "our" OR he was revering to the entire heavenly host (like saying the US can help you, we can help you).

HOWEVER, it is possible he means it in the way the Mothers do. Especially if everything is tied together, see the GUCMT thread in the DF Reference Collection for more on that. http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,41981.0.html

Could all Archangels be linked, parts of a greater whole...TWG? Or perhaps all angels are linked to the TWG, similar to the Gabriel movie where they are all linked to "the Source". It poses some interesting questions if the angels, or even just the Archangels are linked. IF all the Archangels form the being that is known as TWG, where does Lucifer fit in?

Let me know your thoughts!

I mean, now he was transubstantiated and all I doubt it will come to pass that it's admitted even if true, but I always figure Uriel is where the literal TWC ended up. Look at it this way, in his old role as creator TWG had no role in deciding the fate of his own creations. So he abdicates, comes down and get's new choices ending up in an administration position that DOES decide the fate, that of free will ruling over fate(plus grooming the timelines for best situations). I thing him and the three swords watchers combine as the riders of their apocalypse. the new risen order of freedom of will.

I figured it was part of the usual "I have no power - I only channel what God gives me" line

That totally fits, anything else could trigger a one way ticket down..

Quantus:
Another, slightly smaller possibility was that he was referring to the angels present (as opposed to the angelic race overall), referring to himself and the bodyguards that were watching. 

That being said I tend to lean towards the concept of all angels being integrally and constantly connected to TWG, philospophically.  Ive even entertained the theory that TWG is just an amalgamation of all Soul in the uni/multiverse rather than a discrete entity of it's own (but the Day One short makes me doubt this). 

Ive also toyed with the possibility that all mythological Creators throughout human history are facets/avatars of the same Entity. In that theory the Mothers are themselves facets of this Creator; the polar Fire and Ice primordial forces that created the world in the Norse myth, also two parts of the hindu Trimurti credited with Creation as far as I understand, "typically Brahma the creator, Vishnu the preserver, and Shiva the destroyer/regenerator."(-wikipedia)
