A Message from the Devas

This posting is a message translated directly from the angelic/devic beings to humanity:

Devas and faeries wish humans to know that we exist independently of your belief in us. Our race and yours used to walk together as separate but parallel streams of consciousness, in full recognition of each other. Although many humans took the path of shutting down awareness, we did not. Your path has led to great imbalance and destruction of your home world, and many species have left it for good because of this. Do not think that they are gone from creation; although they have left you, they exist in parallel worlds still. Nevertheless, this does not excuse your race from their demise in your world.

You have attempted to evolve through your own understanding which, while it has produced many wonderful things, is insufficient to keep your race in harmony with the whole. Many of you have become arrogant in your disconnection; believing yourselves to be superior, you have trampled the rights of the rest of the world, whether animal, plant, or elemental. You do not recognize that your existence in form is utterly dependent upon us. This ignorance is disastrous. It is like living without air—a living death.

We wish you to turn your awareness inward to the unseen, energetic feeling aspect of your world—which the outer forms of nature embody physically—and come back to us. This will take some work on your part, as you must individually dismantle the barriers you have set up around your awareness, and take responsibility for what your race has done. It surely could involve allowing overwhelming feelings of grief and loss, as you open to what your culture has thrown away in terms of connection, as well as lost species and topsoil and the pollution of your home. Yet we ask you to face it, to integrate and move beyond it, in order to return to us who have never left you.

There is immense love and light at the other side of this great healing. Do not avoid knowledge of us; of the animal and plant spirits; of the gnomes of earth, the sylphs of air, the undines of water and the mighty salamanders of fire any longer. Do not let limitation, fear, grief and loss deter you. Allow your innate awareness of the great living Spirit that lives through and as you and through and as the world back into your lives. Claim your divinity and recognize the divinity of everything around you once again. This awareness gives birth to feelings of love, gratitude, and reverence. It is all Spirit; what can be more sacred and beautiful?

You have come to a place on the Great Spiral where you can step into this consciousness in a new way, bringing with you all of what’s helpful that your race has learned from its journey of separation. We do more than await you; we call you urgently to wake up from your collective dream which has become a nightmare in so many parts of the globe. Look beyond the physical world, beyond your limited self-identification, beyond the politics and posturing of egos, beyond the limitations of who is right and who is wrong. Look to your own inner being and see that it is the inner being of the entire world—that you and the world both HAVE an interior reality that is far greater than the outer one. You will find us there. We welcome you. Be at peace.

The Angelic Realms: Angels, Devas and Faeries

The last subject I want to cover in my articles about angelic consciousness is that of the devas and faeries, whose mode of being is not separate from angels. In fact, Geoffrey Hodson, a Theosophist and clairvoyant who lived from 1886-1983, used the word deva—which comes from Sanskrit and means “shining one” or “deity”—interchangeably with the word “angel.” Hodson, who was recognized by devas in many parts of the world as an ambassador between humans and angelic beings, wrote books on the subject which can be bought today. See http://geoffreyhodson.iinet.net.au/ and http://www.theosophical.ca/AngelicHosts.htm for more information.

The Angelic Realms: Archangel Uriel of the North

The qualities associated with Archangel Uriel are the inner aspects or energies of earth. Uriel is sometimes seen as a female, in which case her name is Auriel, but Auriel is also seen as a different archangel by some people. At any rate, being behind the manifestation of divinity into matter (earth), Uriel is said to embody universal law. The name Uriel means “Light of God,” and in this case, the word light refers to knowledge, because Uriel is said to be the master teacher, and her/his symbol is a book.

The Angelic Realms: Archangel Gabriel of the West

Archangel Gabriel is associated with the moon realm. As with Michael of the sun realm, this state of being which we call a realm involves an entire inner feeling tone. Whereas the sun realm is of higher, transcendent, transpersonal self-shining radiance and consciousness, the moon realm is much closer to our everyday life, being the realm of reflected light; of that solar radiance translated into our imaginative faculty, dreams, psychic ability, intuition and gifts of visionary prophecy. This realm contains both Earth and Moon. Its inner reality, although closer in vibration to our outer world still contains deep mystery.

The Angelic Realms: Archangel Michael of the South

The name Michael means:”Like God,” or more accurately the question, “Who is like God?” He mediates the power of cosmic light and fire; hence his association with the South and summer—for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere this is the direction of greater heat and light. Michael therefore mediates the spiritual power and consciousness of our sun to Earth. (A short note here: if you live in the Southern Hemisphere you can easily adjust Michael’s direction to be the North, and Uriel’s direction to be the South, as this makes more sense from your perspective. There is nothing fixed about relative directionality in the outer world—the energies contacted will be the same. It is the intent to contact the consciousness and energy of the being that drives the experience.)

The Angelic Realms: Archangel Raphael of the East

Raphael is the Archangel who mediates the power of Life to the world, associated with the first “breath” of source consciousness into manifestation. So he is associated with birth, spring, new beginnings, the element of air, dawn and the sunrise direction East. The mind, with its ability of lightning-quick thought embodies the air quality as well. Mercury is the fastest planet; tradition holds that the Archangelic intelligence we call Raphael mediates the energies of the planet Mercury to Earth. These energies are embodied in the god Mercury or Hermes, who was the swift messenger-god.

The Angelic Realms: The Temple of the Archangels, Part 2

You can reach The Temple of the Archangels by imagining yourself going up above the planet. It is guarded by angelic consciousnesses who may prevent you from entering the Temple if you have less than a sincere, open intent. Be ready to be scrutinized in such a way that you are unable to hide anything about yourself. If your intent is sincere, your human failings will be taken into account as being of little consequence. The guardians see past limitations into your timeless being.

The Angelic Realms: The Temple of the Archangels

Conflicting beliefs abound regarding who archangels are and what they do; whether they answer personal prayers or not, and how they fit into the particular religion of the believer. In fact, they existed long before any religion. They are part of the great continuum or hierarchy of angelic consciousness, which is involved in the mechanics of manifestation of reality from the primal source to the “end point” of matter. Unfortunately, the concepts of angels have become so trivialized and sentimentalized over the centuries that it may take humanity much un-learning to come into a truer relationship with them.

The Angelic Realms: Categories of Angelic Beings, Part 3

The final trio of angelic beings in this classification system resides closest to humanity in consciousness, in the denser level of vibration which is now filled with many forms, patterns and modes of expression. This is often called the formative realm of thought, dream and feeling. From this realm, our outer world emerges. One way to visualize this is to see the first originative realm as white light, breaking up into primary colors in the creative realm, and then into the thousands of possible color combinations in the formative realm.

The Angelic Realms: Categories of Angelic Beings, Part 2

Once out of the primal originative realm, angelic consciousness becomes easier to relate with, although it still exists on a transpersonal level beyond our ordinary consciousness. In this next, creative realm, abstract concepts begin to take more form, so the angels may appear to have more familiar appearances to our imaginations as we contact their energies.

The Middle, Creative Choir:

Dominions: Like good monarchs, Dominions mediate the received understanding and power of the higher levels to all the orders below. They are angelic beings associated with order and the smooth workings of the cosmos. Appearing to inner vision as crowned kings or queens, they often hold a sworn and an orb, which symbolize universal masculine and feminine polarities that they see to keeping in balance.

Virtues: These wonderful beings embody that aspect of divinity which ensures that every single created thing has good qualities. Each mineral, plant, creature and human has virtues too numerous to describe. We relate to many of these qualities as the usefulness of things, as aesthetic beauty, and in countless other ways. Humanity is given many excellent qualities which we can nurture, such as integrity, fairness, love, dedication and courage. The Virtues, which are described as shining with a beautiful light, are also said to be responsible for miracles.

Powers: Mighty and fierce, the Powers are associated with the Lords of Karma. They are protectors, guardians and judges. Although their energy can be intimidating and they can appear as warriors, they also forgive and guide. When life brings great tests, the consciousness of the angelic Powers is probably involved. Cultivating right relations with them through maintaining ones integrity, dedication, sincerity and willingness to change brings transformation into a greater expression of divine self.
