Devas: The Master Planners
Devas can be defined in different ways. But on this page right now, I’m going to use it in the way that people who talk about nature use it. Now, it is possible to talk about nature spirits and mean much the same thing as devas, but, if you read about nature spirits, you’ll find that they are difficult to visualize and that they are hard to contact in any way. With these beings, there are some similarities, but there are enough differences to make it worthwhile looking at them in more detail. I should, perhaps, start off by saying that I was fortunate enough to see one of these beings myself. I had been doing a lot of reading about them, I had been concentrating on learning about earth energies and I was able to do a lot of quiet contemplation in the countryside. All this geared me up to be able to connect with a deva. In this case, it was the deva of the town where I lived. It was quite hilly in places and allowed me a view of the Town Hall from quite a way off. I was walking along, thinking my thoughts and looked up and saw this creature hovering, wavering above the building. It was huge for me to have seen it at that distance and looked vaguely like it was made out of pale rainbows. Not a good description, but that best I am able to describe it. The really interesting thing was that it was aware that it had been seen. It turned its head towards me (had HUGE eyes, by the way) and nodded once at me, as if in recognition. I got the impression that it was really busy, but very happy to be noticed. It was a very powerful moment for me. So what are they? If we follow the more modern approach to devas, then they certainly seem to play an important role in the natural world. They are, in effect, the planners.Let us say, for example, that you want to grow roses. You know the rose you want to grow, because you’ve seen it already, either in a catalog or growing in a garden somewhere. You prepare the soil, buy or otherwise obtain the necessary plant, tend and nurture it and in the end you have your rose. However, there are many pitfalls and the rose might not be perfect or suffer from disease or illness to some degree. Now take one step back from this scene. The rose you want, that perfection you are after, exists somewhere. There is a plan of it, if you like, from which all plants of that species take their lead. But even further back from that is the common theme that all roses have; the types of leaves, flowers, thorns an so on. And beyond that, the varieties of plants. Each one of those stages is the responsibility of a deva. The devas are responsible for holding the ideas so that the workers, like the fairies, and the other nature spirits, can bring them into creation through the use of appropriate minerals, moisture, temperature and so on. In other words, without the plan there would be no rose. So the deva I saw over the Town hall was responsible for the town. Not for the people or the buildings or the roads or the shops, but for everything which together makes up a town. It’s more than the parts, it is also the feelings and emotions of the inhabitants. Its job was to make sure that the town was moving along the right lines for it, as a town, not as some small village or a huge metropolis. So why do some things not work out?Devas are only the planners. They hold the idea. It is up to others, including us humans, to bring ideas into reality. We can mess things us. We can make the land sterile. We can, through inattention and laziness, drive the devas from it and make it unhealthy, lacking in vitality, dead.Sometimes we have had to ask devas to come in to a place because it was energetically dead or dying. We needed their skills to help heal the place. If you want to work with them, take the time to understand the complex jobs they do. Take the time to ask them to assist you with your plans. Know that whatever you do, whatever results you achieve, they can only be achieved with the assistance of those helpers. If you want to actually see them, then that might take a little more practice. It really consists of allowing yourself to appreciate the work which goes on even in an apparently still scene. You have to let yourself relax into the environment, know that such things exist and ask them, gently and politely, if they would be willing to show themselves. You may be lucky. You may see the entire being. You might only see a flicker out of the corner of your eye. If you do see one whole and complete, it will appear usually as a shifting mist, maybe flame colored or swirling light with flickering colors. Without a doubt it will appear to be beautiful to you. But, whether or not you are lucky enough to see one, the really important thing is to know that they exist and that they are the ones who hold the plans. How does this tie in to Space Clearing?Quite simple.Without them, the land is sterile and empty. We have come across places where, for one reason or another, there simply aren't enough devas or nature spirits and the land, as a consequence, suffers. Crops and plants don't grow well. There is a feeling of emptiness there. Animals are not lively, people don't thrive. In other words, the essence, the vitality is gone when the devas are gone. There are ways of encouraging them back again. Contact us if you feel that your land is lacking its planners and driving forces. We'll be happy to look into it for you!
