Devas, Spirits and Guardians
The Spiritual Hierarchy
Every area on the face of Mother Earth has a local guardian or deva. Each deva is a member of a hierarchy of invisible beings who work the energy of the area, including trees, bushes, rocks, land formations, flowers, and water. At the bottom of the totem pole are elementals, otherwise known as “little people,” “fairies,” or “gnomes.” If you are clairvoyant, they appear to be balls of light in a variety of colors. Elementals work with all the above, moving energy where needed and keeping everything in balance within their local area. While not normally visible, it is possible to sense their presence. Sometimes you may hear laughter nearby, and no one is there, or you may feel like the eyes of a “crowd” are watching you; or you may feel giddy, happy, or unusually high and hopeful.
Mountains, Mountain Spirits & their Guardians
Other spirit guardians work on an entirely different level. For example, an apu (mountain spirit) always has a guardian who helps them by being a gatekeeper of sorts for the mountain itself (Chapter 7). Every mountain possesses a spirit. Every mountain has a guardian. The spirit of a mountain is powerful because mountains are at the top of the land hierarchy. Without mountains, we would not have the global grid of energy we need to keep this planet in balance and harmony. They are the “Atlas” or “Titans” of our Earth.
In the hierarchy of energy beings, humans are indeed at the bottom of the totem pole. Therefore, when approaching a mountain, give cornmeal, state your name and explain why you are there. Then, ask for the guardian to appear to help guide you. Ask humbly for its permission to tread on the slopes of a mountain, or to receive other vital information you should have before beginning your trek. If you are denied entrance, give another gift of cornmeal and leave.
Local Devas
In the hierarchy, we have what is known as the local deva. This being is a guardian for the locale in which you live, whether it’s a quarter of an acre or six acres. It’s always a small area in the scheme of things. The local deva can be male, female, or androgynous. It doesn’t have to be in human form—it can be an animal, bird, reptile or a mythological being. You just never know what you’re going to run into, so “expect nothing, receive everything.”
You need to get to know your local deva because it knows everything about the area. Most important, it’s in charge of the energy of that given area and its job is to keep it in harmony and working correctly. It works with the grid lines, whether local, regional , or global ley lines. They work to keep the lines clean of etheric debris. The deva will work with all rocks, bodies of water, trees, bushes, flowers, or anything else growing where it has a responsibility to keep the energy flowing. You might consider your local deva like a local energy manager, whether it is visible or not. Local devas, like managers in business, have “worker bees” that perform certain tasks. These are the elementals we mentioned earlier.
A deva ensures the constancy of energy going through a specific area. These beings are charged with removing blockages of energy that get snarled for any number of reasons. The elementals know every tree, every rock, and any discarnate being there as well.
Discarnate beings are people who have died, but their spirits refuse to move on from that plot of land for various reasons. If you can communicate with a discarnate being, you can learn a lot about who they were, what they did when they were living, and the history that occurred when they were alive. You can also learn about any trauma done to the land, local historical activity, and the movement of local energy lines (Chapter 4) that may affect this deva’s small area of responsibility.
Discarnates are there by choice, or because they are trapped by a traumatic circumstance. In the case of trauma, these beings are still in shock, not realizing they can move on to the Light (Heaven) and continue to pursue their soul education. To release them to the Light, a ceremony must be held to create a “rainbow bridge” between where they are trapped and where they are linked up with the Light World. This ceremony, known only to metaphysically trained people, can make this opening occur so that discarnates are free to resume their spiritual journey.
Back to the deva! He, she, or it will have a name and will appear in some form, usually not a human one, although some do. Usually, they are an animal, insect or something else from the fabric of nature. This is someone you want to know and know well. They love to work with humans and are eager to make contact with you.
