was perceived psychically and thus her work was easily discredited by both the sciences and religions of that age.â
âTypical!â Tory rolled her eyes in disgust and lookedback to the library spread out on the floor. âAt least we know better now. Is all this text theosophical?â
âI wish it was. Most of these books are ancient religious texts that I brought with me from Gaia, which are not anywhere near as coherent.â Noah gazed over the piles of books heâd pulled from his shelves, many of which were lying open for cross-reference. âMost of these references were employed when we first began delving into the origins of the Chosen Ones and the Nefilim. Iâve got a whole stack of additional material on CD-ROM if only I could find an old PC to play them on.â Noah scratched his head, bemused. âI spoke to Floyd, and he thinks thereâs a remote possibility that he might be able to resurrect one for me.â
âSo is this quest for information leading somewhere?â Tory teased, thoroughly suspecting that Noah had already begun delving into the subject she was here to discuss.
âItâs hopefully leading â¦â Noah paused as he considered that Tory might be disturbed by his interest in her celestial encounter. On the other hand, he wasnât going to lie to the Governess of the planet about what he was doing. âI was hoping to identify the species of the entity you encountered this afternoon.â
âIt was a Deva, I suspect,â Tory informed, plainly.
Noah was stunned by her words. âYes it was.â The scholar returned to his position amid his references. âFrom Candaceâs description of it, it couldnât have been anything else.â Then the thought struck him and Noah looked back to Tory. âThis is what youâve come to see me about?â
âIt is,â Tory granted, to assure Noah that heâd done the right thing. âHave you managed to discover much about them yet?â
Noah grinned confidently. âLoads.â
Tory raised her brow in excited expectation. âJust like old times ⦠I knew youâd be on the case.â
âAlways,â he winked to confirm. âBut wait!â He held high a finger, as he looked about him. âThereâs definitely something missing here.â
Tory looked about her and immediately figured what was lacking from the once familiar scene.
âTea!â they resolved, nodding to confirm that it was a must.
Noah instructed his novice to bring them some refreshments and as they awaited their brew, the scholar began sorting through the information heâd unearthed in search of a place to begin his tutorial.
âAll these texts confirm that Devas vary infinitely in their degree of consciousness and intelligence, and they are to be found on nearly every plane of existence. These celestial beings have become our own innermost selves, and thus are the link between the spiritual and the divine for all matter-bound intelligences. Devas embody thought and empower will with energy if the subjectâs intent is adequate to set his designs into motion.â
âThus, we do create our own reality.â Tory was pleased that at least one doctrine supported her proven theory.
âAnd Devas create the necessary circumstances to bring our desires into being without questioning theright or wrong of the souls in their charge. For indeed, they have no concept of negative or positive outcomes, only cause and effect ⦠which is, after all, the whole reason why our three-dimensional plane, bound by time, space and matter, was created. Devas are part of what is known as the Dhyani-Chahanic host, who are the great architects of life on all levels of existence and the divine servants of the Logos. They supervise our evolution, being agents of karmic and cosmic law. But in the fullest sense, the Dhyan-Chohans are actually ourselves, we are merely
