📝 Description: Deva: Our Relationship with the Subtle World

An in-depth introduction to the Deva Kingdom and our relationship with Deva - Explores how we partner with Deva in our everyday lives to evolve both our kingdom and theirs - Explains the hierarchy of the Deva kingdom, from elementals and nature spirits to higher angelic Deva and every level in between - Offers suggestions on how to communicate with the Deva of trees and plants as well as the angelic kingdom - Shares the author's personal experiences with Deva around the world Nature spirits, faeries, gnomes, and their higher angelic counterparts who overlight landscapes, mountains, rivers, and plants have held a fascination for people worldwide for countless generations. The Deva kingdom is essentially the world's form builders, the symphony at the heart of Creation, yet Deva is so much more than the joyful beings that animate what we call Nature. We each have a very personal and direct relationship with Deva via our physical, astral, emotional, and mental elementals, but this connection has been forgotten or, at the very least, overlooked. When we partner with Deva in our everyday lives, we can help evolve both our kingdom and aspects of theirs. Exploring the realm of Deva and our relationship with them, Jacquelyn E. Lane introduces us to the hierarchy of the Deva kingdom, from elementals and nature spirits to higher Deva and the levels in between. She examines the metaphysics that underlie their existence and how the energy of Deva is intrinsic to all that we experience. Deva is a Sanskrit word meaning "Being of Light," an appropriate name as Deva sing light out of the primordial darkness to create forms for Being. Sharing her personal experiences with Deva in many lands over four decades, the author investigates our relationship with Deva, in particular via the elementals of our human constitution, and how we can communicate with the Deva of trees and plants as well as the angelic kingdom. Through scientific discoveries and cultural traditions, we discover the impact we have on Deva and how we use and even "create" new forms of Deva via our inventions and collective activity. Jacquelyn also looks at the orchestrating function of higher Deva and the wider implications of our understanding of Deva, including the role of Deva in Pan consciousness--our increasing realization of the intricate matrix of life within and between all the kingdoms on Earth. Offering not only an in-depth introduction to the world of Deva but also a glimpse of their wisdom, humor, and joy, this book reveals how we can begin to hear their complex song, find our own song, and work with the appropriate subtle layers of the Deva kingdom to grow and evolve.

Esoterica Books editorial team
Occult literature desk
Lane’s text serves as a sincere invitation to engage with the subtle world, grounding ethereal concepts in relatable anecdotes and clear hierarchies. However, readers seeking rigorous academic analysis or skeptical empirical evidence may find the content too speculative or unscientific. It is not suited for those who prefer hard materialist philosophies or who are uncomfortable with anthropomorphic interpretations of spiritual entities. The book shines for its warm, encouraging tone, but it demands an openness to esoteric worldviews that some modern readers might reject as naive. Ultimately, it is a niche resource for those already committed to the path of subtle energy work.
