The devic domain, sometimes called "nature's unseen force," is responsible for manifesting all thought forms in matter. The devas are the hidden life behind the form of all objects. They exist in polarity with the human domain as the feminine receiver, or Yin aspect, while humanity represents the masculine initiator, or Yang aspect, in the dance of Creation.

In 1972, at the tender age of 14, I was blessed to meet spiritual teachers who first introduced me to the magical world of the devic realms. I was opened to the world of the devas, and my life totally changed. I was part of an esoteric group, the Rainbow Bridge Group that met every two weeks to meditate and work on the Christ Consciousness grid. At the time we used a network of triangles of light that we vitalized in our meditations through visualization and the cooperation of the devas who worked with our group.

Given that one of the leaders of the group was born perfectly clairvoyant and telepathic, there seemed no need to develop our own relationship with the great devic masters and lesser devas who attended our meetings and assisted with the various projects we were given. We trusted the perceptions and impeccable integrity of our teacher and what she shared of the devas.

When our teacher passed on in 1979 many in the group were left wanting to establish the relationship with the devas that our teacher had provided for us. The devas were happy to cooperate. One in particular, who was considered a Master in his own right, was stationed off the coast of San Onofre, California near a nuclear power plant. His task was to help drain off the negative energies produced by the operation of the power plant. He did this by gathering the energies and lifting them into the upper atmosphere to be dispersed. He was also an ambassador helping to facilitate communication and interaction between the devas and humanity.

He began to communicate with a number of individuals in our group, and many of us began training to communicate with the devic realms. The training program was ongoing for many years and sometimes involved the devas working on our energetic bodies to rewire our systems to better handle the energies required for communication.

Communication was more than receiving pictures or words. It also involved interfacing energies between the devic and human domains. Our energy bodies needed to be operating at a certain vibratory frequency before effective communication could take place. If, as was often the case in the early years, we were in emotionally unbalanced states, the energies of their vibratory frequency would be too much of a strain on our electrical and nervous systems. After such sessions we would be exhausted and needed to rest for several days. Much of the training was about changing the frequency of our subtle bodies to be compatible with the frequencies of the devas communicating with us.

For many years we had private, personal relationships with the devas who felt like friends and mentors to us. Their innocence, absence of guile, and loving, supportive nature prompted us to often joke that our best friends were devas. It was really true. After communicating with them and working with them for years they were like friends--only without bodies.

Given our previous esoteric training we were careful not to discuss occult matters with others and that the work needed to be guided and guarded. The general thought was that the work we did with the devas was to be done silently, behind the scenes. This was because it was perceived then that humanity was not spiritually mature enough to handle the information with wisdom and also as a protection to the devas who had been enslaved by humanity in the past during the time of Atlantis.

During the time of Atlantis the devas and humanity were like a marriage with humanity being the masculine polarity and the devas being the feminine polarity. The legend of Aladdin and the Genie within the magic lamp hides the occult truth of the relationship between the devas and humanity. Aladdin represents the human element and the Genie represents the devic forces that wait for our command. The Ancient Wisdom teaches that during the time of Atlantis, humanity misused the devic natural forces to gratify personal and ego desires. Humanity used the devas for the purposes of war. The Hindu text of the Ramayana tells of beings who used devas and the forces of nature as weapons. This kind of warfare was in part responsible for the sinking of the continent of Atlantis. At that time the Spiritual Hierarchy of the Planet intervened and separated the devic and human domains to prevent future abuse of the devas.

Since the sinking of Atlantis, humanity has been operating unaware of half of its true nature. The devic counterpart (while present but on an unconscious level) was not available to humanity at large. Only certain people, shamans, witches, medicine men, alchemists, or magicians, retained the knowledge of how to work with the devic realms--the unseen builders behind all manifested form.

This relationship continued until 1975 when the decision was made by the Spiritual Hierarchy of the Planet to allow the devic and human domains to come into conscious relationship once again only this time the devic forces would not be enslaved. The devas now had a degree of autonomy and choice that they did not possess at the time of Atlantis. The door opened in 1975 for a new relationship with the other part of ourselves. The relationship would not be one of domination and control as before but one of co-creativity and cooperation as we learned to work together as equal partners.

Our group's contact with the devas was tentative at first, and for many years we noticed a reluctance on the part of the devic beings we contacted to interact with humanity. Some devas held a memory of the past and were cautious about being enslaved as before. But many of the devas we contacted became life-long friends as we learned to work with each other and found that we had mutual goals of assisting the Earth in Her transition to another level of consciousness.

At the time, we did not know of other groups like ours, but I believe that there were hundreds of groups around the planet working with the devas in whatever way was assigned to them. Our group seemed to be assigned projects that had to do with helping the devas to link both with the Christ Consciousness grid, the major world centers, and with each other. This networking assisted the devas to perform their tasks with greater efficiency.

Being the feminine component, the devas are receptive, passive, and wait for instruction. Humanity being the masculine aspect of the team is responsible for providing the thought forms or blueprints that the devas embody. According to Dwal Khul in A Treatise on White Magic, there are steps to materialization-and everything that is now in form has been materialized in accordance with these steps whether known or unknown. These steps are the laws of creation. The only difference between white magic and black magic is the intention. The steps for both are the same.

Before anything exists on the physical plane it must first be created as a thought. This happens whether we are conscious of it or not. The clearly formulated thought, energized by desire, is picked up by the devas and then materialized into form. Anything that we see on this physical plane is a result of a thought energized by desire that the devas manifest and bring into being. Everything without exception contains devic life. The devas are the life within matter. Just as with humans there are varying levels of consciousness within matter.

The devas are a parallel domain to humanity, and their development ranges over a wide spectrum of consciousness as does ours. The devic kingdom is hierarchical in nature and includes the elementals, fairies, gnomes, garden sprites and nature spirits among others. These are the devic forces that cooperate in projects at places like Findhorn in Scotland and Perelandra in Virginia. The devas work co-creatively with the intelligence of Nature at the gardens in these two locations. They have become experimental training grounds for devic-human cooperation with phenomenal results that could not have been achieved by normal gardening. In one case at Perelandra the devas of the garden communicated that a certain place in the garden should be dedicated to insects. When this was done the insects went there and not on the crops. In Findhorn the devas cooperated to produce crops that far exceeded normal crop yields in soil and weather conditions that were considered impossible to grow anything.

These are also the nature spirits that made their way into fairy tales and legends undoubtedly started by those who possessed the ability to see them. These devas are closely connected to the earth and are very much bound to restricted territories. For instance a tree spirit would not be able to venture out beyond the tree it embodies. It would be a master of information about that tree but may not have any wisdom or information about another kind of tree only two feet away.

As devas progress in their own development, they assume larger areas of responsibility. So while there is a deva for a particular tree, there would also be a more developed, mature deva for the whole forest of those trees, a still more developed deva for the whole park, a deva for the city that the park is in, and on and on. If it has a name and it has a form, then it has a devic element that holds it together whether it is a tree or a city.

Knowing this the assertion that everything is alive becomes clearer. In truth everything does possess a living aspect. Devas receive their instructions and energy from humanity. The two domains are intimately woven together despite the cleavage that occurred thousands of years ago. When humanity recognizes, appreciates, and acknowledges the devic life within any object the devic life force of that object is enhanced. Does this explain why in the book, The Secret Life of Plants, that plants grow better for those who talk to them? To me it explains why people who name their cars seem to have fewer car problems. We all know cases of where we have recognized the life within an apparently inanimate object. Those who practice this regularly will verify in no uncertain terms that these objects perform better when the life within them is recognized.

In the last day of my workshops we go around the city and make contact with the devic life within the city. Most of us do not think of devas as living in a city, but they exist in everything without exception. In one case in San Antonio we made contact with the deva of the old courthouse in the heart of downtown. The deva there was somewhat alienated and seemed to possess a feeling of being neglected and left out. I communicated this with a man who worked and lived in San Antonio, and he quickly replied, "Of course! That makes sense. That courthouse used to be the heart of activity in downtown. Since the new courthouse was built, all the activity transferred to the new building!" So buildings have feelings too. Once we acknowledged the job and service that the deva of the old courthouse had done and appreciated it, we could see and feel a distinct difference in the energy and appearance of the building.

Very often, we come across devas in places like churches, cemeteries, and war memorials, whose energy is very heavy. We have learned to give the devas a tool of transformation to assist them in transmuting the energies of humanity that the devas are obliged to embody. The deva merely reflects and embodies the thoughts and feelings of humanity and if people come to a place with a lot of sorrow or dense feelings and thoughts, the devas will embody that form. They must-it's their job. As one devic Master said concerning the financial situation of the planet, "We hope that humanity comes up with better thought forms." It has been our experience that these devas welcome someone who comes along and gives them a better thought form to embody.

A technique (explained at the end of this article) offered to the devas is that of the Buddhist Column. It is simply a thought form that we construct and once we give it to the devas and allow them to use it, remarkable things happen. In one case in a cemetery in Sonoma, California, within seconds of giving this deva the thought form of the Buddhist Column all of us could feel a difference in the energy of the cemetery.

Once the devas have the thought form of the Buddhist Column (which connects them into the Earth's Christ Consciousness or Unity Consciousness grid) they are physically linked with the plan and intent of the Mother and the Hierarchy in a new way that assists them in their progress and development. It also allows the various devas to link together in networks that serve their purposes. One such network was requested of our group to stabilize the San Andreas fault line in California. The request of the devic Masters was to form a series of devic linkages along the California coastline then link all the devas of the California missions, most of whom were languishing from neglect. These devas responded greatly to the recognition and the prospect of a new project in which they could be a part. Once those two networks were established we were told to weave a line of energy (just with holding the thought in our minds) between the mission devas and the ocean devas--like sewing a rip in ones pants.

We observed the devas passing energy throughout the network allowing them to either dissipate earthquake stress or to divert it to less populated, outlying areas. Since establishing this devic network many of the earthquakes in California began showing up in deserts and along previously unknown fault lines. The network was established in the mid 80's and continues to be developed. Many of the earthquakes in Southern California have since appeared in the less populated areas around Palm Springs, Mohave, and Lancaster. Not only were the energies dispersed to unpopulated areas but on several occasions simultaneous minor quakes would occur at northern and southern points of the devic network suggesting that perhaps a larger quake was spilt into two smaller quakes along this chain.

Ann Meril, my mother and devic co-worker, relates one of her many experiences with the devas in reporting that once while working as a court transcriber she had a deadline in which she needed to type 132 pages in six hours. This appeared to be an impossible task given the time requirement as her best typing speed was fifteen pages an hour. In a panic she called our spiritual teacher who said, "Don't worry, I'll send the devas to help you." She began typing and could see the clock in the office the entire time. As she typed it appeared as if time stood still while the pile of typed pages continued to grow. Not even taking the time to marvel at this phenomenon she completed all 132 pages --with forty minutes to spare! Our teacher shared with us afterwards that the devas have the ability to manipulate time.

In a more recent example she and I were traveling down Highway 101 from Malibu to downtown Los Angeles. We left Malibu at 1:00 for a 1:30 meeting in downtown L.A (normally a fifty-minute drive under the best traffic conditions.) We requested the assistance of the devas and without speeding miraculously arrived downtown exactly on time to the minute. In another situation, a friend was on Interstate 405 at night driving home when she encountered a dense fog bank limiting her visibility to twenty-five feet. Without thinking she called on the deva of Interstate 405 to assist her safely home, and in seconds the fog lifted to three inches above the top of her car.

Some of the most dramatic events we have witnessed with the devas came when we began to work with the tools of a man named Slim Spurling (see http://www.earthtransitions.com ) He created a tool based on the geometries of the universe called a harmonizer that transmits a waveform developed by scientist Bob Dratch. Together these two technologies were documented to clear up air and water pollution in several cities such as Denver, San Diego, San Paulo, Cape Town, and Auckland. Please see the above referenced web site for details.

In March of 1997 the devic Master at San Onofre gave me instructions on combining the harmonizer/waveform technology with the devas. His instructions were to offer the harmonizer and waveform to the devas. We were shown where to work in our local area to create a series of smaller triangles leading to bigger triangles.

Finally during the full moon meditation in May of the same year the San Onofre deva said that it was time to go to Los Angeles. He said that we needed to go to three specific locations, Palos Verdes, Point Magoo, and Mt. Wilson, and give the devas the harmonizer and the waveform. Then we were to simultaneously bring the three physical harmonizers used at each of those three points to a center point in the heart of Los Angeles at the intersection of Alameda and Olivera streets. This was to be done as soon after the full moon festival as possible.

This seemed impossible for us to coordinate but as we have learned nothing is impossible with the devas assisting. One of the logistical difficulties was finding two other people on such short notice who would help with the project. I did not know anyone in Palos Verdes. As for Mount Wilson, I didn't know where that was. When I discovered that there actually are two intersecting streets in downtown Los Angeles named Alameda and Olivera, I was reassured that I wasn't just imagining things.

Two days later a woman called for information about Slim Spurling's next workshop. She offered to have the workshop in her home. When I asked where she lived, she said Palos Verdes. She agreed to participate with the project the deva had outlined. Two other people stepped forward not long afterward, and within two days what had seemed impossible to organize was happening. We manned our devic outposts, played the waveform tape and offered that and the thought form of the harmonizer to the devas at Point Magoo, Mt. Wilson, and Palos Verdes then headed to Alemeda and Olivera Streets.

After the project was completed I still had doubts when the San Onofre deva came and said, "Don't worry, I'll give you confirmation." The next morning it came. Ann called and said, "Turn on the news! Hurry." They were televising a cultural fair live from the gazebo at the intersection of Alemeda and Olivera Streets in downtown Los Angeles. The newscaster was quite surprised because the weather was so clear. Rain had been predicted. He mentioned that the day before 90-mph winds came down from Mt. Wilson and swept the valley clear. Then he went to the sky copter for a report. The reporter said that it was one of the clearest days she had seen in months. "It's so clear," she said, "that you can see from Palos Verdes to Point Magoo."

That was pretty good confirmation for me, but the devas had more in store. Later that day friends of ours who live near the coast by the Santa Monica Bay reported that they saw Orca whales and a school of dolphins--in the Santa Monica Bay. This is very unusual. They stopped what they were doing and followed the whales up the coast until they reached Point Magoo where they just disappeared!

This is just one of many examples of how working cooperatively with the devas can be a miraculous and wondrous experience. On numerous occasions we have witnessed what would seem impossible, clearing the red tide, dispelling tornadoes, clearing up the pollution in the Salton Sea, just to name a few examples. More detailed information regarding these phenomena can be found at the www.earthtransitions.com website. These are just some of the things that can happen when we are in a loving, cooperative relationship with the Mother. I believe that this is our birthright not some special gift. This is the direction that humanity is moving. Certainly we live in exciting times!

Love and blessings will come to you if you choose this path. It is filled with rewards beyond imagination.

Steps for Constructing a Standing Buddhist Column:

1. After making a contact with the deva with whom you want to work release it from any past vows or programs that no longer serve the Will of the Mother and the Plan of the Christ.

2. Invoke a five-pointed star of the Christ of white light and visualize it over the highest point of the area involved.

3. Invoke the Deva of the Buddhist Plane. Ask the Deva of the Buddhist Plane to drop down and anchor a Buddhist column of light through the five-pointed star of the Christ.

4. See the column of light anchored to the Earth with a six-pointed Star of David at the bottom.

5. Invoke or picture a standing vortex of energy (an upside-down tornado-type of whirlwind) that transmutes any of the lower vibrations and carries them up and into the five-pointed star of the Christ.

6. We do this under the guidance and direction of Archangel Michael and the Mother. Turn the result over to Spirit and do not try and direct or control what happens.

7. Offer a prayer of thanks and disconnect energetically from the session.

May God bless you as you continue with this rewarding work.
