1. "Working as Members of The Spiritual Hierarchy are a great number of Beings called Angels by the Christian and Devas by the oriental. Many of Them have passed through the human stage long ages ago and work now in the ranks of The Great Evolution parallel to The Human and which is called The Deva Evolution. This Evolution comprises, among other factors, The Builders of the objective planet and the forces which produce, through those Builders, every form familiar or unfamiliar. The Devas Who cooperate with The Hierarchical effort concern Themselves, therefore, with the form aspect, whilst the other Members of The Hierarchy are occupied with the developement of consciousness within the form."
2. "The Devas, with the exception of those Greater Devas Who have in earlier Cycles passed through The Human Kingdom and Who are now cooperating in the evolution of Man, are not yet self-conscious. They grow and develope through feeling and not through the power of conscious thought. The Devas seek to feel, whilst Man seeks to know."
3. "There are certain large groups of Devas, called 'The Devas of The Shadows' or The Violet Devas, Who are closely allied with the evolutionary developement of man's aetheric body (vital body) and Who transmit to Him solar and planetary radiation."
4. "The Devas are the qualities and attributes of matter, the active Builders, Who work consciously or unconsciously upon The Plane. Here I would point out that all The Devas of the higher levels of The Mental Plane, for instance, and of the systemic Planes from there on to The Center (The Plane of The Logos, sometimes called Adi) cooperate consciously and are of High Rank in The System and of position equal to all The Ranks and Grades of The Hierarchy, from a 1st Degree Initiate up to but not including The Lord of The World Himself (Sanat Kumara)."
5. "Much that might be imparted anent The Deva Evolution is perforce withheld owing to the danger arising from superficial knowledge unaccompanied by wisdom and the inner vision. The Devas are The Mother of form, but the self-conscious unit, Man, should realize his independence of the form and should follow The Path of Self-expression. Man, while functioning in material, substantial forms in The 3 Worlds (Physical, Emotional, and Mental), may not trespass across the separating line between the 2 Evolutions."
6. "All matter is living matter or is the vital substance of Deva Entities. For instance, a Plane and the 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."
7. "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."
"All Deva Essences and Builders on The Physical Plane are peculiarly dangerous to Man, for They work on The Aetheric Levels and are 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."
8. "The goal of The Devas below the rank of Solar Pitris (Souls) is individualization, and their objective is to become men in some future Cycle."
9. "In connection with manifestation on The Physical Plane, The Devas may be divided into 3 groups:
a. The Transmitters of The Will of God (1st Ray or Aspect), The Originators of activity in Deva substance. These are The Greater Builders in their various groups.
b. The Manipulators of the initiated energy. These are the myriads of Workers with force Who transmit the impulse, in their turn, to the elemental essence (the elementals). They are The Builders of lesser degree but are on the evolutionary arc as are the first group.
c. The Recipients of force, the sumtotal of the living substance of a Plane. These Lives are passive in the hands of The Builders of Greater Degree."
10. "All dense physical forms, whether a tree, an animal, a mineral, a drop of water, or a precious stone, are in themselves elemental lives constructed of living substance by the aid of living Manipulators (Lesser Devas) acting under the direction of Intelligent Architects (Greater Devas)."
11. "The Devas of water find for Themselves the path of service in their great work of nourishing all the plant and animal life upon the planet. The goal for Them is to enter into that Higher Group of Devas which we call the gaseous or Fire Devas."
12. "As conditions of harmony gradually evolve out of the present world chaos, Devas and human beings will meet as friends. At the beginning of this period of recognition, men will principally contact The Violet Devas, for those of the higher ranks amongst Them are definitely making the attempt to contact the human."
"Some of the groups of Devas to be contacted on The Physical Plane are as follows:
a. Four groups of Violet Devas associated with the aetheric doubles (aetheric bodies) of all that exists on The Physical Plane.
b. The Green Devas of The Plant Kingdom. They are of high developement and will be contacted principally along the lines of magnetization. The Greater Devas of this Order preside over the magnetic spots of The Earth, guard the solitude of the forests, and reserve intact spaces on the planet which are required to be kept inviolate. Just as The Masters are endeavoring to prepare Humanity for service when The World Teacher comes, so these Raja Lords are working along similar lines in connection with The Devas. They are arduous in their work, intense in their zeal, but much obstructed by Man.
c. The White Devas of the air and water Who preside over the atmosphere work with certain aspects of electrical phenomena and control the seas, rivers, and streams. From among Them, at a certain stage in their evolution, are gathered The Guardian Angels of The Race when in physical plane incarnation. Each unit (human) of The Human Family has his Guardian Angel. For The White Devas, the path of service lies in the guarding of the individuals of The Human Family."
13. "The lowest types of Devas or Builders on The Evolutionary Path are Violet Devas. Next come The Green and last of all The White Devas. These are all dominated by a fourth and Special Group. These control the exoteric processes of physical plane existence."
