We'd like to ask, what do we really
know abut devas? Well, if you have been following
the archives it would be quite a lot. But while
we've compiled a number of channelings about devas
at the Center for Ascension, we'd like to put it
all together here. Creatures of myths and legends,
they can also be referred to as elementals or
nature spirits. Pixies, sprites and elves, our
fantasies and fairytales are not as mythical as
one might think. That is especially true here in
Lake Tahoe. Nature surrounds us and it is the
beauty that geological forces have wrought which
surpass anything man has yet to compare. We're a
bit closer to nature here because nature is so
much closer to us than many others. That can be a
detriment as was seen with the recent Caldor Fire
but that too concerns devas. In normal times,
without wildfires closing forests, one can wander
the woods or shores of the various lakes that
surround Lake Tahoe itself. Streams, fern covered
gully's and redwood studded mountains bring a
sense of belonging once immersed in their sights
and you're not alone when journeying around its
trails. One doesn't have to believe in nature
spirits to feel their presence. But what are they
are where did they come from? Are they good, bad,
or indifferent to our co-habitation with them on
this planet? Lastly, how can something that cannot
be seen or felt have a physical effect on our
environment? The answers might just save us in the
end.
So who, what, and why are there devas
who play such an important unseen role in our
environment? It starts, as everything seems to, on
Sirius hundreds of thousands of years ago when
there was a colonization from there to Atlantis by
seven different races. At the time they had
physical bodies they would evolve out of as the
centuries passed. Caretakers then and caretakers
now, they fully embraced the planet as their new
home. The evolution to a non-physical form with an
effect on physical reality naturally led to their
being the stuff of legends. The names they would
be known to us would involve Asgard, Mt. Olympus,
the Hindu religion, and even heaven. Angels, gods,
goddesses, nature spirits, they have appeared to a
lot of people as a lot of things. At their most
basic, they help things grow where they will and
nature to behave as it should. Beyond that, they
can stir men's souls or destroy their dreams.
Water devas working with the elementals of the
forest can create vistas of peace and harmony that
stops the hiker in their tracks. Conversely, fire
devas can burn all of that same vista to ashes.
Out of sight does not mean out of mind and that is
how they can be contacted into enlisting their aid
into saving the planet.
My discovery of devas began
with a book I bought secondhand called "The Magic
of Findhorn". I was in a transitional phase at
eighteen and the book brought up something in me I
had not realized I was missing, a deeper
connection to the spirits of nature. Findhorn was
started by Peter and Eileen Caddy in 1962 in
Northern Scotland based on messages Eileen
received guiding them to its eventual location in
what we would call a trailer park. She started a
garden based on the messages she heard and the
growth was beyond anything anyone else in the area
achieved. Her friendship she established with
entities such as the landscape angel and spinach
deva revealed where and when to plant. A community
grew up around them as word spread so that others
who were spiritually inclined pitched in to aid in
the garden. Forty pound cabbages being grown in
the barren soil of where they were helped the
community become a thriving center for inspiration
and learning. What Eileen tapped into was not
isolated to the nature spirits of Scotland, but to
a wider world we could also tap into with
practice. Mark, when he was my roommate, used the
information from the archives to attract a deva to
a special place of honor he established in our
backyard. The Findhorn experience could be one
everyone would be able to emulate with the human
race at its full potential. So how do we get
there?
Travel along the East shore of Fallen
Leak Lake here at the South end of Lake Tahoe and
stop somewhere to walk among the redwoods scatted
on the land sloping upward from the road. Or walk
among the redwoods between the two lakes at the
Tallac Historic site. These trees in both places
are old and so are the energies felt when walking
through those majestic giants. Stop at the pond
there with the gazebo and take in the calm that
pervades everything. The devas there are the same
found in San Francisco, Paris France and Moscow.
If something grows, there are devas. If there is
wind or rain, there are devas. If fire devas
almost got out of hand and burned down all of the
above places during the Caldor fire, other devas
stepped in and miraculously turned the fire away
from Christmas Valley. There was much imploring of
the nature spirits before, during and still as
billions have done throughout history from those
who were unaware that is what they do when wanting
rain to fall or wind to stop blowing. If there was
a conscious understanding of the beings sharing
the world with us and a desire to work with them,
the climate crisis being experienced may get some
allies in the fight for mankind's very survival.
