The Angelic Kingdom

My own notes taken at William’s seminar are in this Arial font.

William’s notes are in Times font.

This discussion about the Angelic kingdom is not a discussion about women
with wings! Nor is it about “Churchy stuff”. It is a discussion about the
“Mother line,” or Devic evolution, in contrast to the “Father line”, or Monadic
evolution.

PARABRAHMAN
The One Life is beyond word descriptions – the Great Mystery
How does the One become the Many?
First, the One becomes the Two:

PURUSHA MULAPRAKRITI

Spirit Root matter

“Father Line” “Mother line”
Will Undifferentiated intelligent substance
Purpose Intelligence + substance = the ‘devic,
Will and Purpose = the ‘human line’ or angelic line’.
All the planes are substance, or the
“BIG HER”
All planes are intelligent substance that
we must use to have a realization on
that plane, and as you do this, you
experience the intelligence of “The
Mother”
There are two categories of Deva:
“High” “Low”
Hierarchical Deva Elementals
Larger categories Smaller categories

The “Father line” is the Purpose/Will The “Mother line” is the Intelligence
stream (in both men and women) stream (in both men and women)
When Purpose and Intelligent Substance come together into relationship, then
Awareness, or Consciousness, the middle principle, or Soul, emerges.
This is “The Son” – product of the meeting of the Father and the Mother.
In this sense, what you call ‘you’ is the place where two great streams of
divinity meet and interact, physical, emotional, and mental forms in process of
becoming integrated and self aware – a “human”
We might say, the “Father” We might say, the “Mother” (intelligent
(Purpose/Will) line “knows what to substance) line “knows how to do it”
do”
Both lines are hierarchical. They in parallel evolution, two streams of the One
Life which interface, producing consciousness, the Soul, the “Son”
Consciousness is only possible because of this interaction, relationship

Consciousness is only possible because of this interaction, this relationship,

between Spirit and Matter, Purusha and Mulaprakriti, “Father Spirit” and
“Mother” intelligent substance.

Deva A word used for those higher than the elementals
Deva are on the evolutionary arc
Deva are evolving back to the One
Deva have a movement or preference towards

which the larger one is moving towards synthesis
Elementals Are on the involutionary arc

Involutionary life (elemental life) is not yet
individualized life
Elementals do not know themselves
They are just sparks of intelligence
Evolutionary Evolutionary life is movement towards self-realisation
Deva of a plane A whole plane is a Great Deva
e.g. Agni is the great overshadowing deva of the
mental plane, as is Varuna of the Astral plane, Kshiti of
the physical plane.
The whole field of human thought can be seen as one
entity
When ‘you’ have a thought, you are only able to do this
because you can assemble ‘your’ thought from the
elementals of the mental plane, which can be viewed
as ‘cells’ in the ‘body’ of the Great Deva, Agni
Your causal body, too, is assembled from the ‘cells’ of
the deva called the Solar Angel, which is a great devic
entity more evolved than the Christ

Deva as a Parallel Evolution

The Deva (angelic) Kingdom is said to be a parallel domain of life to our own. Just as with human
beings, angelic life is evolving, though its evolution is unseen to us. It is a domain of life that
permeates all aspects of creation, yet recognition of it is illusive at best. In the esoteric tradition we
are given to understand that the reason humanity does not see the deva kingdom is because its
juxtaposition is too close to us. Metaphorically, it is equivalent to a fish that does not know what
water is, due to its pervasive proximity to water. This is precisely the dilemma facing humanity
when considering our relationship to angelic life. Devic beings are intimately present within our
field of experience, yet human beings are unable to even recognize their existence due to their
nearness.

• The ‘purpose’ of the deva line is to enable consciousness to emerge.

• Spirit/Deva, or Will/intelligence, help each other.
• Deva grow and evolve through being ‘used’ by humans as the humans themselves
develop capacity to express in forms, such higher qualities as Love, Wisdom, etc
through incarnational experience.
• Humans grow and evolve through the use of the intelligence the deva give them.
• Both need each other and in a sense depend upon eachother
• The Purpose of Human life is to “uplift the lesser lives’, the elementals towards self-
realisation

A major problem for humans is that the devic kingdom is so close to us that we can
barely become aware of it.
It is so close, it resembles being a fish that does not know it is in water.
Your thoughts, your feelings, your sensations, are only experienced by ‘you’ because
the devs give you that experience.
Will + Deva produce everything you can be aware of – human, animal, mineral, plant,
and more – all the planes an d categories of experience.
Everything you experience is composed of devic forms - except your Essence, your
Core Being, your PURPOSE.
Even your capacity to experience yourself as an individual “I” is a gift of the Solar Angel.

Deva as the Carriers of Intelligence

The Deva Kingdom represents the great Mother force within Creation. It is the third aspect, which
means that it is the custodian for the divine intelligence of the One Life -God. As a force that
supports the intelligent evolution of all forms of life, the angelic kingdom's role in the drama of
creation cannot be underestimated. To understand this notion, it must be born in mind that all of
creation is an expression of Divine Substance being shaped and influence by Divine Purpose. As I
have said, the Mother Principle within the universe is intelligent substance itself, while the Father
Principle is the custodian of Beingness and Purpose. When these two forces interact, consciousness
inevitably emerges. Therefore, consciousness is the result of the interaction of angelic life with
Divine Purpose.

Intelligence (esoterically understood) is every attribute that is

This is because all rays of attribute are in a sense subdivisions of the third ray:

1 2 3
|_________________________________
| | | |
4, 5, 6, 7
Beauty Knowledge Idealism Organisation
These are all intelligence in action – the Divine Mother pervades all.

4
 5

All quality, all variability, is deva, is “Her”, the “Mother’: e.g. the ‘redness’, texture,
geometry of a carpet. The deva kingdom is so close to ‘you’ that you cannot see it.

Substance is the Manifestation of Divine Intelligence.

Examples: DNA is a manifestation of intelligence

So are cells, feelings, thoughts, all are expressions of different categories of intelligence

Elementals are “bits’ – the assemblage of which into patterns produces something that is
greater than the sum of the ‘parts’.
To ‘have a thought’, you attract certain elementals to assemble them as a ‘thought you
have’, an ‘idea you have’, ‘knowledge’.

Mutual service between the human and devic kingdoms

‘The elementals work together as something beyond themselves as separate parts, and
this is an uplifting experience for them, it serves them.
They served ‘you’ by giving you the chance to experience knowledge, feelings, life
experiences on different planes.
Thus evolutionary purpose is served too.
The distinction is not total, but proportional

Deva as the Transmitters of Prana

In addition to being the repository of universal intelligence, angelic life is also the carrier of prana
within and through creation. Prana is the life-giving force imbuing all things, large or small. Its
radiation sustains and animates all expressions of life, and there is nothing in creation that is not an
expression of Life. Prana is found everywhere, for Life is everywhere. This is an occult idea worthy
of pondering. On an atomic level, even inanimate things (so-called) are immersed in a sea of life
sustaining prana.

Prana

Prana is the Vital Life Force of the Mother, inherent in substance

Prana is the energy that gives sustenance to all forms of Life
Other terms for Prana: Pneuma, Thymos, Archaeus, Chi, Ki, Life Energy

Deva as the Bestowers of the Qualities and Attributes of Matter

All forms in the outer world have attributes and qualities associated with them. When we look at
our physical environment, we see that anything perceived has a variety of qualities innate within its
very nature. For example, when we examine a might oak tree we sense many attributes to it. It has
color, texture and design. In addition, it demonstrates endurance, strength, and the capacity to
radiate beauty. These are just a few of the attributes that we can easily identify when examining an
oak tree, and they are all expressions of devic life and intelligence. The fundamental designs and
patterns of all things in nature represent the livingness of devic substance. The same can be said of
a blade of grass, a mountain, or the attributes associated with a planet in the sky. Attribute is a
manifestation of divine intelligence, and intelligence is always an expression of angelic life.

“Mother” line
is the custodian of established quality – e.g. established love - and of the intelligence and
ability to sustain, or reproduce, that level

“Father” line
is custodian, source, or origin, of the potential for higher expressions of that quality, and of
the will and purpose to do so

“Son”
is a blend of these two, demonstrating a dual awareness, of the current established level
of expression achieved thus far, and also of the potential for higher expression, provided
will is brought into relationship with established patterns, and used to ‘upgrade’ the current
(established) level. Soul is thus a “middle principle”, the outcome of the interplay between
“Father” and “Mother”, and also with the power to unite the TWO – through LOVE

Different grades of devas will be involved in this process.

[See also Hawkins, Power versus Force, for grades of human patterns which show this
well]

Deva as the Healing Force in Creation

The art of healing is really the art of utilizing deva in support of human betterment. As we have
already stated, the angelic kingdom holds the treasury of knowledge within the universe.
Understanding how to heal the human body requires that one be given access to a level of angelic
life capable of revealing the needed knowledge to the mind of the healer. All knowledge is made
possible through the gifts conveyed by angelic life. In addition, deva is the life force within all
forms. It therefore is the energetic source that gives sustenance to all things. The function of healing
is to understand and manipulate the body's relationship to this life force in order to facilitate the
healing process. In short, the art of healing requires that the human body be rightly aligned with the
devic intelligence that underlies it. When right alignment occurs, and karmic conditions do not
demand otherwise, healing will most certainly occur.

HEALING can be seen as the process of creating better forms in place of the old ones,
and/or of adjusting old and or new forms to be more correctly related to each other.

Physical healing:
It is interesting how the body ‘knows’ how to heal itself to some extent, it ‘knows’ the
pattern and how to rebuild it – we might call this “the intelligence of the body”
This existing capacity for physical healing resides in the “Mother”, the deva, – the
custodian of established patterns.
However, some will and purposefulness (“Father aspect”) may still be needed – to diet or
exercise, or undertake rehabilitation, for example.

Psychological and mental healing:

It may be a question of restoring old patterns, but more often, pre-existing patterns
(“Mother”) may no longer be adequate to the purpose (“Father”) of the indwelling spirit.
This dismantling old beliefs and patterns of emotional reactivity may be essential – this too
will require that purposeful will be brought into the situation (“Father” aspect) – even to
decide and will to go to a therapist, for example!
Note that the only “things” that can be mended or upgraded are the pre-existing or
established substantial devic patterns, but we do not yet usually think about the healing
task in this way.

Deva as Unified Field

Because the Deva Kingdom does not emphasize individualness (as compared to humans), their
nature is to act as the container for many variables within any situation. As such, deva unify the
field of experience that a human being has at any given moment. When we speak of the unity

7
 8

underlying all diversity in creation, we are pointing to the Deva Kingdom. In truth, it is they who
create cohesion in all aspects of creation, and this, whether tangibly or intangibly considered.

The basic unity underlying all of creation is founded upon deva

Any field of unity is founded upon deva

The building of a group causal body:

A group of people come together around a more or less shared common purpose, and
seek to create a group understanding.
These ‘devic patterns” that we call ‘people’ do not immediately have total group unity, or a
unified field. Their current ‘personalities’ are “lunar” devas of the physical, emotional, and
mental planes, or patterns drawn from substance of those planes – from the ‘bodies’ of
the great Devas called Kshiti, Varuna, and Agni.
The archetype of Unity, however, lives on the Buddhic plane – it is composed of the
substance of a higher deva, the Deva of that plane.
Devas of planes above the mental can be called “solar devas” as they are part of the
etheric planes of the solar system – planes 1-4 of our systemic plane.
As the group struggles towards developing more roup love, group understanding, group
cooperation, group unity etc., that higher Deva becomes attracted to the ‘cry’ or ‘sound’, or
‘vibration’ it is emitting as it “raises its vibration” – through the purposeful will or intention to
do so, of course.
That higher Deva then is attracted towards assisting a group soul or causal body.
The vibration that attracts such a high Deva is the Christ vibration – Love and Wisdom.

Important–distinguish between lunar elementals and angels and Higher Deva

or Solar Angels

We must distinguish between our experience with ELEMENTALS, and our experience with
DEVAS in support of elementals.
Our task in this evolutionary partnership is to connect the existing elemental patterns with a
higher or Solar Deva.
We can learn to ‘see’ the chart of the Human Constitution in terms of elementals and
devas.
We can learn to attract higher categories of Deva by raising our own vibration.
For example, by using higher, abstract thought processes, we attract higher categories of
deva – solar, not lunar.
This ‘uplifts’ the current lunar devic patterns, or ‘solarizes’ them.
Until we begin to think abstractly we have not yet built into our minds elementals of the
higher mental sub-planes.

We need a vocabulary (“sounds”) of the abstract, formless realms, to avoid making “forms”
of what we conceive devas to be (fairies, goblins, elves, etc). This is ‘particulate thinking’.

On the “Mother line”, ‘substance’ and ‘energy’ are synonymous, - ‘forms’ are only
‘assemblages’.

Deva as Phenomenal Experience

All categories of consciousness represent experiences occurring within planes of substance. For
example, thoughts and feelings are manifestations of categories of substance being experienced by
the Thinker (Self). When we have a thought, for example, we are experiencing forms contained
with the substance of the mental plane, and that substance is devic. Feelings and intuitions are
essentially devic as well. All experiences within consciousness manifest from the intelligence
inherent within various types and grades of devic substance. Thoughts and feelings are forms
contained within one's mind, and these forms represent the assemblage of atoms of intelligent
substance. These atoms are called elementals, and are considered the lowest level of angelic life.
This is more evidence why the deva kingdom is so difficult for human beings to perceive. It is
because the very act of perceiving IS an experience of deva. We do not recognize deva because we

8
 9

do not realize that our capacity to search and perceive is itself indication of our interaction with the
Deva Kingdom. In short, deva gives birth to all phenomenal experiences, and everything that occurs
in consciousness is phenomenon.

Phenomena are but categories of substance experienced by the Thinker (self).

The very act of perceiving is deva!

Humankind offer the deva kingdom a teaching of individualness.

“Father line” has the IDENTITY principle.
Every part of you that wants to understand “who you are” in essence, is “Father line”
The “Mother line” parts do not yet understand individualized identity, but is more holistic,
more universal.

Yet the goal is to realize IDENTITY and UNIVERSALITY.

We are both a part, and the Whole.

Important Note – control elementals and cooperate with Deva:

• A disciple learns to relate to devas differently than to elementals

• A disciple is one learning to master the elementals, yet seeking to cooperate with the
higher, solar, devas overseeing the elementals, for they represent the higher
intelligences.
• An elemental becomes a ‘deva’ when it becomes a ‘manipulating deva’ – see later.
• You control the elementals through the activity aspect – by doing
• You cooperate with the deva through Love-Wisdom – not by doing, but by holding in
your mind and heart the best love-wisdom of which you are capable. It is that “note”
which attracts the higher deva to the situation.
• You master a certain amount of elementals as a pre-requisite for a deva even to take
interest in cooperating with you.
• As you master some physical/emotional/mentals elementals, higher deva(s) get
attracted to you to support your higher purpose.
• As partial soul-personality infusion with love-wisdom progresses, at each higher level a
higher level of deva responds to the higher ‘note’ you sound, and this assists you
externalise your soul purpose.
• Such devas have been called the “Devas of Circumstance” or “Devas of Synchronicity”
• “God helps those that help themselves” is a phrase pointing to this natural law.
• Rays 2, 4, 6 and Planes 2, 4, 6 have a natural resonance and tendency towards unity
with the deva kingdom (see the diagramlater)

The Plan
Christ and the Masters are working with a vast category of high Deva – this we call “The
Plan”
The Plan is a vast category of high Devic life that has come in contact with the Ashramic
and Shamballic Purpose.

Thus the Christ and the Masters have been called the Manasadevas.
On the Second (monadic) Plane the fusion between the “Father” and the “Mother” lines is
extensive. Unity is established and approaches synthesis.

On the lower plane – the plane of emotions and desire for example, the “Desire for Unity”
or “Astral Allurement” is not actual unity, but rather, a sense of a higher but future unity,
and a great yearning for it.
Question: At what initiation are you no longer victimized by the intelligence of feelings
(elementals of the astral plane)?
Answer: The second. Mastery of the emotional nature implies no longer being used by
ones feelings, by expectations and reactions to their disappointment, for example.

9
 10

Question: Consider Nazism. This is a great devic life with intelligence, is it not? So, are
deva always in support of the good?
Answer: The members of the “Black Lodge” also manipulate deva. Deva do not inherently
have as clear an idea of Purpose, but they are responsive to Will. The “Dark Lodge”
emphasizes elitist separativeness, and is no a vibration from the Past. What is “evil” but
attachment to the good that has outlived its usefulness? The “Black Lodge” builds forms
that are devoid of love. This is Intelligence WITHOUT Love, which can especially
demonstrate through Ray 5 + Ray 1 without the others.

Therefore, seek only to cooperate with Deva that are in support of the Ashram and the
Plan. Ask yourself as a test, does this support unity or fragmentation? And remember that
“repulse” is not always negative, especially if it supports a higher unity. The “White Lodge”
works through Intelligence AND Love.

The Masters are constantly involved in dispersing archaic past patterns of intelligence, and
to liberate it, so that it becomes a positive force for the future.
The Masters perforce have to work through Their disciples and initiates.
As a disciple you are an agent the Hierarchy can use to dispense new patterns to
transform the old.

A Summary so far

Deva are the “Mother line”, “Intelligence” (occultly understood), meaning anything that is
“Attribute”.
Anything that is “Attribute” is a manifestation of Intelligence (Deva).
All phenomena are Deva and elementals.
We are too close for easy perceiving of the devic realm, yet it is “all you percieve” –
nothing you perceive is not deva.
Even the capacity to perceive and know that you as an individual are perceiving is
because of devic forms.

Deva and Elementals

- Distinctions -

Deva and Elementals are terms often used interchangeably. Yet, technically speaking, there are
differences worthy of note. There are three major distinctions to keep in mind. They are:

Magnitude of Life:

It must be understood that the angelic kingdom is hierarchical, just as are all domains of life. As
such, elementals are lesser expressions of life as compared to deva. They are essentially reduced
expressions of life contained within a deva being. That is to say that elementals represent the minute
particles of intelligent substance (as found on all planes), and are the cells within some greater deva.
Just as a human being is a cell within the life of the planetary logos (the entity that ensouls our
planet), so too do elementals represent the substance contained within the body of a vaster deva
entity. They are called "elementals" in that they have categorical relationship (and correspondence)
to the four sacred elements - fire, air, water and earth.

Evolutionary versus Involutionary:

Generally speaking, deva are on the evolutionary arc of development, while elementals are
involutionary. When life is evolutionary, it means that the general trend of its development is
expansion and movement toward unity and synthesis. Evolutionary life is moving away from
density and toward the subtle essence of things. Involutionary life, on the other hand, is tending
toward fragmentation and separation. When something is "involving" it means that its nature favors
complexity and differentiation. Elementals are attracted to form-bound existence, and they are best
able to express themselves within the density of matter. All categories of life are understood as
either developing toward matter and multiplicity (involution) or away from it (evolution).

Individualization:

Deva are angelic entities that have individualized, while elementals have not. By this is meant that
deva have evolved to the point where they know themselves as individualized beings. Just as with a
human being, a deva is able to realize itself, which means that it has the capacity to be aware of
awareness. This is indication that individualization has occurred, for to know one's individualness
requires the capacity to introspect. On the other hand, this cannot be said of elementals. Essentially,
they are blind to their individualness. Instead, they are swept up by the current of larger energetic
forces and simply move in accordance with those forces. They are therefore incapable of
deliberation and individual choice. They respond to vibration, and this in an instinctual manner.
There is also a category of devic life that is in transition from elemental life to that of individualized
existence. Some nature spirits (so-called) fit into this transitional category. Such entities as fairies,
leprechauns, and elves are examples of this.

The Deva Kingdom

- The Five Postulates Given by the Tibetan -

Treatise on Cosmic Fire, pages 488 - 490

Postulate I All matter is living matter, or is the vital substance of deva entities.
For instance, a plane, and forms built of that particular plane
substance, is the material form or sheath of a great deva, who is the
essence back of manifestation and the soul of the plane.

Postulate II All forms, vibrating to any keynote, are fabricated by the building
devas out of the matter of their own bodies. Hence they are called
the great Mother aspect, for they produce the form out of their own
substance.

Postulate III The devas are the life which produces form-cohesion. They are the
third and second aspects blended, and might be considered as the life
of all forms that are subhuman. A magician, therefore, who
transmutes in the mineral kingdom works practically with deva
essence in its earliest form on the upward arc of evolution, and has
to remember three things:
a. The effect of the backward pull of the involutionary lives
which lie back of the mineral, or, in effect, its heredity.
b. The sevenfold nature of the peculiar group of devas which
constitute its being in an occult sense.
c. The next transition stage ahead into the vegetable kingdom, or
the occult effect of the second kingdom on the first.

Postulate IV All deva essences and builders on the physical plane are peculiarly
dangerous to man, for they work on the etheric levels and are-as I
have earlier pointed out-the transmitters of prana, or the vital,
animating substance, and hence they set loose upon the ignorant and
the unwary, fiery essence which burns and destroys.

Postulate V The devas do not work as individualized conscious units through

self-initiating purposes as does a man, a Heavenly Man or a solar
Logos (viewed as Egos) but they work in groups subject to:
a. Inherent impulse, or latent active intelligence.
b. Orders issued by the greater Builders.
c. Ritual, or compulsion induced through color and sound.

Solar and Lunar Angels

- An Introductory Comparison -

B: William Meader

In the Esoteric tradition, there is much emphasis on the importance of the Solar and Lunar Angels.
In some sense, these two categories of angelic life are quite similar. Their similarity comes from the
fact that they both provide human beings with the substance needed in order to facilitate human
evolution. By this is meant that each provides a person with the essential containers that s/he needs
in order to experience human life, and to outwardly express that life. Incarnation and spiritual
development would not exist but for the amazing contribution that these two types of angelic forces
play in our lives. Because angelic life is an expression of the Mother Principle in creation, its
fundamental role (with regards to the human kingdom) is to design and build the forms needed in
order that consciousness can evolve through those forms. This is the fundamental purpose behind all
angelic force in creation. Consciousness only exists because the Spirit within is expressing itself
through layers of angelic substance. Though both solar and lunar deva represent categories of
intelligent substance, they are nonetheless quite different in their stages of development and
influence on humanity. Let us examine their differences:

Lunar Angels:
Lunar Angels are angelic beings that provide the design and substance required for the creation of
our personality forms. Specifically, they give to us the intelligent substance that composes our
physical, emotional and concrete mental bodies. These angelic beings hold the design for the
human physical body, as well as the blueprint for the development of the subtler vehicles of the
persona - mental and emotional containers.

To highlight this we need only look at our physical bodies. Lunar Angels give to the human body
an amazing intelligence. For example, our body has its own innate knowledge. It knows how to heal
itself when we feel physically ill, or are injured in some way. In addition, the human body is
intricately well designed. The interactive relationship between the many systems of the body is
sometimes baffling in its complexity. Even the dynamics occurring within a single cell, and the
DNA information it contains, gives clear evidence of profound intelligence. In addition, the systems
of the body are holistic in their functioning, therefore making it possible for the human body to
function as an integrated whole. Even with today's vast scientific understanding of the body, there is
much that still remains a mystery to medical science. Importantly, the design and intelligence of the
human body comes forth from the radiation of lunar angelic life overshadowing each of us. The
elemental substance used in the construction of the physical body is intelligent in its own right.
However, it is the supervising Lunar Angel that coordinates these elementals, and provides the
holistic blueprint and pattern for the construction and maintenance of the human form. Such is the
great gift given to us by the Lunar Angels.

It is important to keep in mind that lunar angelic life also provides the intelligence and functional
capacities to one's emotions and concrete mind. Remember always that our emotional and mental
bodies are containers of substance as well. This substance is of a much finer state of existence than
is the substance of our physical bodies. Herein lies the reason why we cannot directly see these
vehicles. They exist in substance far subtler than matter as we typically consider it. Every emotion
or concrete thought is the product of the intelligence inherent within these two subtler personality
vehicles. We can therefore see that lunar angelic life provides human beings with the opportunity
for their souls to incarnate into outer forms (physical, emotional and mental). By so doing, the soul
is able to evolve itself. The reason this category of angelic life is referred to as "lunar" is that it
provides us with our outer shell of substance, which occultly corresponds to the symbolism of the
moon, the mother of dense form.

13
 14

Solar Angels:
As with lunar angels, Solar Angels also provide substance for the construction of a container for the
evolution of human consciousness. However, the difference is that a Solar Angel is more evolved
than a lunar angel. As such, it is able to provide human beings with a vehicle of experience
(container of substance) of a higher order. Specifically, Solar Angels give to each human being an
individual causal body. The causal body is the container used by the soul itself. As such, the
evolution of the soul is really the evolution of the soul as it relates to the causal body.

What is important to understand is that, unlike a lunar angel, a Solar Angel can provide a human
being with a vehicle that can facilitate his/her individualization. To individualize means to discover
one's individual identity. Before entering into the human kingdom, we each lived millions of years
within the animal kingdom. Yet, animal life is not individualized. Animals are largely governed by
the consciousness of the species to which they are a part. This we call instinct. An animal is not
overshadowed by solar angelic life. Rather, its consciousness is completely dominated by the
consciousness offered it by the lunar angels that shape and condition its outer form. This is another
useful distinction when we consider lunar angels. They themselves have not developed to the point
where they can give to an evolving entity a container to individualize. However, Solar Angels can,
and they are first encountered when life enters the human kingdom. What makes a human being able
to know him/herself as something separate from his/her animal nature is the power of independent
thought and introspection. Both these attributes (individual thought, and introspective analysis) are
only possible because we each have a Solar Angel overshadowing us, providing a container that
makes such capacities possible. The reason this category of devic life is called "solar" is that the sun
is the occult symbol of individualized identity, which is precisely what the intervention of the solar
angels gives to humankind.

Solar angels give substance/intelligence to house your developing wisdom

They are the ‘library and the books’. For example, a wise thought, selfless love, a sense of
unity, are all a result the Solar Angel containing and helping you to shape the perceptions
of your individual consciousness.

Dividing your thoughts into two categories:

1. Concrete These are Lunar angelic substance
2. Abstract understanding These are Solar angelic substance (Causal body)

As a generalization:
1. The Solar angel gives you your experiences of your higher nature and Identity – you
capacity to conceive of “I”, of your “I-ness”
2. The Lunar Angels give you your experiences of your personality

You cannot conceive of “I-ness” of your individual identity (that is separate from your
animal instinctual nature) without a Causal body, which is built out of the substance of the
Solar Angel.

The Solar Angel has been with you, providing a little piece of itself encasing “you” with a
container of substance so that it is possible for “you” to discover your Identity through
Wisdom.

The Solar Angel is a very, very, very advanced Deva (of a 6th-9th degree initiate level) on
the “Mother line”
It is a very, very, very advanced category of Intelligence.

Regarding the so-called “Petals” of the Egoic Lotus or causal body:

These are symbols, of course, for various aspects of the unfolding soul consciousness.
The whole Causal body is from the whole Solar Angel
Within that
The “tiers of petals” are of lesser solar angels
The “petals” are of lesser solar angels still.

14
 15

These are metaphors for categories of living intelligence.

Right here, right now, (but in a different dimension) is your Solar Angel; and you don’t know
it because you are thinking as an “I”.
The Solar Angel gives you higher consciousness.
The Lunar Angels give you consciousness of form.

One Lunar Angel is responsible for the integrity of the physical body; this is one united
category of intelligence. It makes the whole body work together as a system.
There are lesser ‘lunar angels’ for each cell, making up the ‘intelligence of the cell’.
There are lesser physical elementals making up the substance underlying the body cells.
This sum total is the ‘intelligence of the body’ and largely responsible for its day to day
healing.

There is a Lunar Angel for the substance of your emotional intelligence – what you call
your feelings.
(Note how you cannot get away from the devic realm!)

There is a Lunar Angel for building the thought-forms you call your mind.

There is an encompassing Lunar Angel that holds the three together, linking your
emotions, body and thoughts – this is what makes possible the Integrated Personality.
The Integrated Personality is the consciousness of all four Lunar Angels.
While you are in incarnation, you usually and for lifetimes believe yourself to be them.

There is nothing that is not deva except the very root of your Identity – Pure,
formless radiation of Purpose.

Anytime you describe this you use deva to give it form.

And it is Deva all the way up to the highest Cosmic Planes too…

The Solar Angel advocates the future

It pulls towards subtlety, greater unity, the synthesizing formless abstract and archetypal
realms, towards the highest potential, towards higher, abstract, sacred principles
(“hierarchy”).
[See the “I can!” translation of phrase “malkutha d’shmeya” in Aramaic as used by Jesus
Christ – Neil Douglas-Klotz’s books]

The Lunar Angel tends to be conservative, attracted to preserving the past

It pulls towards density, fragmentation (particularity), and form-boundedness.

It gives the experience of “the facts I know”, “the thoughts I have”, “the feelings I have”, “the
sensations I have”.

So – you are a battleground between two categories of experience.

15
 16

As you reach into the Buddhic plane, you encounter buddhi or buddhic substance – the
Deva of that plane. This is pristine, very, very fine and subtle. It holds the Christ vibration.
Eventually you build a vehicle of that substance – a buddhic vehicle.
At the 4th initiation your monadic point in the Causal body can rise up into that new “home”
in the Buddhic vehicle, and the Solar Angel is no longer required to build the Causal body,
so can leave.
And so on…this will be repeated at the Atmic and Monadic levels. You will always have a
“sheath”, even if you are a Solar Logos, with your centre of focus on the Cosmic mental
Plane!
But at those levels, the Self is experienced as a “Self” by the immersion in the Devic life of
a plane.
At the 6th (Monadic) level or degree, you are enabled to realize the consciousness of a
whole planet, you can understand all planetary phenomena, existences and lives.

The “I” is in a blade of grass, and in a planet or solar system… You will always have a
‘sheath’, even if you become a Solar Logos, with you centre of focus on the Cosmic Mental
plane.

Every entity has aspects of both Being (Father line, Spirit, “He”) and Attribute (Mother line,
Deva, “She”)

Why do we have a Solar Angel?

The reason given in this system of thought is as follows. It is because of the “Moon Chain
Disaster”. The incarnating Planetary Entity abandoned the Moon Chain and moved onto
the Earth Chain prematurely. This left a gap in consciousness in the human kingdom,
between the Mental Permanent Atom, and the Mental Unit. If the disaster had not
happened, this gap would not be there.

The Solar Angels of which we speak are unique in that they do not come from the Earth
system – they come from the Venus Chain, Earth’s “elder Sister”. Once upon a time the
Earth and Venus were equally evolved. Bu the “Earth stumbled”, love was unleashed too
quickly. Unintelligent love was unleashed – the whole Earth Planetary Entity made that
error.

So out of necessity, the Planetary Entity abandoned its incarnation and was forced into a
new one. The site of that previous incarnation was the Moon. Now that it has been
abandoned it is now a dead planet, a shell (Past). It has usefulness as a symbol of cycles.
In the horoscope chart, the Moon symbolizes the Lunar Angels – the patterns from the
instinctual past, the old patterns that must be risen above or matured. As increasing
physical perfection is achieved, the Moon can then be said to have “veiled Vulcan”. As
more emotional perfection and maturity is achieved, the Moon can then be said to have
“veiled Neptune”. As more mental perfection is achieved, the Moon can be said to have
“veiled Uranus”. (G: The sub-personalities are in fact the very place where Higher Self
qualities will manifest as they mature)

Had this series of events not happened, human monads would have slowly gathered
substance to build its vehicles progressively. But because it happened the way it did, the
Manasic substance needed for the mental vehicle was not quite adequate. There was a
measure of immaturity in it. So Causal Bodies could not be built.

The Solar Angels were needed and had to come. Venus had progressed normally, and
there Manasic Substance was developed to an adequate stage. She feels an obligation to
help her ‘younger brother”, it seems. It is her “loving gaze” towards the Earth, her brother,
that is the stream of substance that is the Solar Angels.

Devas relate to
Colour
Ritual
Symbol
Vibration
They are attracted to these.

Ritual done with love and done well, with pure intention and precision, will automatically
attract Deva.

A well-lived, well-organised life IS a ritual, and well done, it will invoke Deva.

What about the Devas of the Buddhic Plane?

How are they to be contacted? How can we cooperate with them?

The phrase “cooperate with the Deva” suggests that they know what is going on. In fact
they are the Plan, for Plan is the formulation of the Purpose…

“Deva delight in opportunity to serve the Christ”.

This phrase gives us a clue. If what we do is with right will and intention, and imbued with
the Love of the Christ, the Devas will be attracted to the endeavour as an opportunity to
serve the Christ, Who is the “Teacher alike of Angels and Men”.

To the extent that you can embody Christ-like Love and Purpose, the Deva will respond,
indeed they must, for that is the occult Law.

PURPOSE INTELLIGENCE
Father Mother, Deva

Purpose is the Custodian of the Devas of planes higher than the mental

They are “Solar Deva” which will build

course

Established Levels of Love

PERSONALITY Lunar Angels of the Mental body

Lunar Angels of the Astral body

Lunar Angels of the Physical/Etheric body

Devas of the Buddhic Plane understand higher love because they are linked to higher
levels of Purpose

Insofar as you try to imbue lower levels with higher Love, you attract the higher Devas to
the situation.

Devas of the Buddhic plane and higher are referred to as “Inner Builders” in the Treatise on
White Magic and elsewhere in the esoteric literature. Lunar devas and elementals are
referred to as the “Outer Builders”.

17
 18

When you touch higher purpose you invoke higher Deva.

The higher the purpose you invoke, the more higher Deva are invoked and attracted.

In the Magical Process:

“Let the outer builders cease…” = Let the Lunar elementals cease…
“Let the Inner Builders enter on their cycle” = Let the higher Deva become involved.
They are then called the “Deva of Circumstance”, or “Deva of Appearance”

When Buddhic Deva recognize that you are seeking to extend monadic and soul purpose
into the lower worlds, they begin to shape circumstances to favour that endeavour.

The Buddhic Deva represent a larger field of energy – the Buddhic Plane. The Lunar
Angels feel that presence and rejoice to join in with them. The ‘fall out’ or resultant effects
from this larger field will benefit a wider field, will endure for longer, and be more group
conscious in quality.

Now, until the 3rd Initiation, the “High Point” of consciousness that may have been
achieved, say in meditation, may tend to drop down as the process of creation proceeds.
Whenever this happens the lower categories of deva (Lunar Angelic Life) get involved and
does not turn out so well, it is less aligned with the Plan. In this case the endeavour has
less power, less favourable shaping of circumstances, and benefits only a lesser field,
endure less long, and be less group conscious in quality.

The thought-form a group is working for is Deva, necessarily.

Take the Blue Books, for example. The physical forms, their colours, words, symbols,
texture, design… not to mention the wisdom they hold, and the Plan they serve is all
Deva… (Mother)

There is also Purpose behind them (Father).

This Purpose has manifested other related Devic forms too. The Arcane School, the
School for Esoteric Studies, the University of the Seven Rays, the International Network for
Esoteric healing, the Aquarian Foundation, and many more in the last few years…

Insofar as you read them with Christ-like Love and Purpose, you will attract higher Deva,
which will help to shape beneficial outcomes from the endeavour. You must have Christ-
like Love and intention, or the Purpose cannot be achieved correctly. Remember, the
Christ has leadership of both Angels and Men. Then Love + Will + Intelligence work
together.

It is Love which is attractive and magnetic to higher Deva.

Without love you risk creating with only a combination only of Will and Intelligence, with
many attendant dangers.

How can I meditate in such a way as to do this?

1. Embody Christ-like love right at the outset. That is why we focus attention on
enlivening the Heart Centre first – the twelve virtues of the heart resonate with the
twelve petals of the Causal Body.
2. GO to the Causal body, and meditate there, not in the lower mind.
3. Recollect the pure pristine Purpose. You need a clear picture of this if you are to
attract the higher Deva. Even though you cannot be fully and accurately aware of
your soul purpose until the 3rd initiation, you can still do your best. This can be done
by focusing on the Plan, for the Plan is and Agent of the Purpose.

18
 19

4. Ponder, what part of the Plan are you part of? You may be able to get clearer about
this by knowing your Soul ray, by noting your service work, by recognizing what is
meaningful to you. What attracts you, what interests you? Note the trend of your
thinking when it seems to be at its most lofty. These can all be clues to your role in
the Work as your higher mind wants to engage in the Plan.
The Plan is a reservoir of energy and a category of intelligences, a stream of
Purpose that wants to push through you. It lies behind your sense of responsibility.
5. [If all else fails, think of the things you think other people ought to do! You may be
projecting what is your own part in the work out onto others and expecting them to
do it for you!]

Summary

1. Link with the Christ in you

2. Sense the Plan as you conceive it
3. What is your interest within it?
4. What is the Purpose behind it?
5. Shape your thoughts in a way that is invitational to higher Deva.
6. Consider invoking the higher Deva of cities or countries where you are.
7. Use no pressure, only invitation. The only pressure is to be the Will behind the
Plan “Not my will, but Thine…’

A 4th degree initiate can do this. At our stage, all we can do is experiment and learn.

Dangers of Working with Angelic Life

If you have not yet mastered enought of the elementals of your own lower nature and you
invoke higher Deva, through yearning too much to do so, you run the risk of over-
stimulation.

Thus Purification is vital – physical, emotional, and mental.

If you become over-stimulated, stop meditating for a while.

Carefuly designed methods of occult meditation act as safeguards.

Symptoms of over-stimulation:
Becoming obsessive
Cannot stop thinking
Restless
Insomnia
Increased emotional over-sensitivity
Egotism
Fanaticism ...

Elementals are involutionary. If you invite higher intelliggences to infuse your lower
categories of intelligence, you are responsible... Thus, you must hold the will of the higher
Purpose, but not direct it in an egotistical way.

Remember, Christ-love first, for love is ever a safeguard. Beware of “personality force”.

When we weave lines of common intelligence, and the Christ field is sufficient, then a higher Deva will overshadow the
group endeavours, we will build a Group Causal body and increase our wisdom. It seems, “God helps those who help
themselves” When humanity becomes interconnected in Christ-love, then an even greater Deva will be attracted.

Are there cross-over bridges between the Two Lines?

A Curious Note about the Bird kingdom

There are monads on both Father and Mother lines. It is hinted in the Teaching that the
bird kingdom can occasionally be a “cross-over” bridge between the Father and the Mother
lines - that certain deva monad categories may choose to move to the human line via the
bird kingdom. The bird kingdom represents the category of devic life that makes it easy
enough for to accustom themselves to a denser vibration.
Of course at the 6th level, that of a Chohan facing the seven Paths, a Chohan may choose
to cross the other way, over to the Deva kingdom, but that is a stage far ahead...
Between the stages of elementals (cellular structure, say) and Deva, there is an
intermediate stage called “manipulating deva”. It is just prior to this stage being reached
that some few monads may choose to move into the bird kingdom.

Manipulating Deva

These have been symbolised by the terms fairies, elves, leprechauns, salamanders,
brownies, nature spirits, goblins, etc of fairie stories. They are no longer plain elementals,
but not yet fully fledged deva.

It seems that they develop a taste for individualisation. They become intrigued by the
human kingdom and choose to mimic humans. They then try to understand what it is like
to be human, and try to act “as if” they were. Hence they appear humanoid to those who
sense their presence, and the reason why “angels” are so often presented in human form
as woman with birds wings.

Fairies are connected to the ‘air’ and ‘life in air’ – hence the wings
Sylphs are also connected to air and wind – it is said that the sound of the wind is their
‘group chant’

Note: Wind and rain expressions are occultly understood as the language of the
manipulating deva. Note also how scientists are now turning to Mother Nature for ideas for
better engineering principles – they wish to learn from the devas! Examples are legion. For
example: ideas for the Stealth bomber’s silent wings were drawn from study of owls’ and
bats’ wings; insect legs are the blueprints for the new generation of Mars explorers
vehicles, new systems of colour engineering are being developed from the wings of insects
and plumage of birds.

“Guardian Angel”

This is the lowest aspect of the Solar Angel you can sense, your causal body – it is a small
fragment of the Solar Angel, which has been with you for 18 milion years! What does
“guarding” signify? It is a category of intelligence that enables you to live with greater
wisdom.

“Trusted disciples” may also be under the guardianship of the Ashram – i.e. there are
angelic agents who protect them and their work.

Archangels

These are Deva of equivalent status to a Ray Lord.

20
 21

Numbers

Even Numbers and number-ness , e.g. Fiveness, can be viewed as a vast category of
Intelligent life, a Deva (as too might Zero and Infinity?)

All the Five Planes of human and superhuman evolution are outpicturings of Intelligence of
Brahma, at the will of Sanat Kumara.
