Devic Energies

snowhite [no longer around] said Jul 14, 2006, 12:28 PM:

 

My sister was having her home fumigated through her town home association and had no choice in the matter.  She was concerned, for they were tenting her beautiful garden.

I made a conscious decision to connect with her garden to warn them of the poisons coming. I instructed all flowers and plants to retreat to the base of the their roots into the earth and not to re-emerge until the process was complete.  I also warned all wildlife and insects to leave the premises.

I prayed for her garden during those three days.

After the process, I was delighted by a call from my sister saying that her garden was uneffected by the poisons. It was in perfect condition.

I was overjoyed!  Connecting with the Devic Energies worked!  They are magnificent!

What a wonderful story.

It inspired me to try to be more sensitive to these intelligent little creatures who tend our gardens and nature areas. And also to know that our prayers do make a difference.

Have you heard about Dr. Masaru’s Emoto’s book “Messages From Water.” He is a Japanese researcher who has taken photographs of water crystals and shown how prayers, words and thoughts can change the structure of water.

I skimmed that book and was really startled to see the photos of water in different settings – after that I stopped microwaving my tea water – microwaved water looks completely dead!

and on the topic of water, did you all know that many commercial water bottles are very unsafe? read this for more info – my partner, Bill, is a fitness trainer, nutritional consultant, and science researcher who has a blog on health and fitness called Integral Fitness Solutions – that article is one of his posts – it seems that reusing Aquafina or Dasani bottles is dangerous, as is using those cool-looking brightly colored bottles that are sold everywhere – the safest plastic bottles to use are #2, #4, and #5

I know this is off the topic of devas, etc., but I wanted to spread the word – also, microwaving anything plastic is dangerous (plastic containers and plastic wrap)

Yes, I know about reusing plastic water bottles and the dangers of bacteria growing in that water. Thanks for the info and the links.

True Encounters with Real Fairies

joanholman said Jul 17, 2006, 11:23 AM:

 

Hi Everyone,

Please feel free to share your encounters with Nature Spirits. And I would like to recommend a great book:

Real Fairies: True Accounts of Meetings with Nature Spirits by David Tame

Book Description
Outside of the prevailing western culture and its largely reductionist-materialistic scientific worldview, there may be no other society on earth that has not accepted the reality of fairies or nature spirits. This book relates the experiences of many people, some famou, some clairvoyant, some everyday, who have seen and met members of the Fairy Kingdom. It appears that our world and their are drawing closer together again and it is possible for more people to see what we have been told by some for generations does not exist.

New Groundbreaking Photos of Nature Spirits

joanholman said Jul 17, 2006, 2:28 PM:

 

Recently I began working with a photographer who has taken some amazing photographs of Nature Spirits.

Her name is Joan Solomon and you can get a preview of the photos at

http://www.spiritsinthegarden.com

Joan is a very credible and very established photographer and artist whose original artwork is in the collections of many notable people including Bob Dylan, Horst (the founder of Aveda) and Michael Dell (founder of Dell Computer).

She had painted nature spirits for years, but then started to notice that the nature spirits were showing up in her unretouched photographs.

This Fall her book Spirits in the Garden will come out with over 100+ photographs of nature spirits.

Recently one of her photos was featured in the Utne Reader magazine and she was inundated with requests to purchase her upcoming book.

Green Hope Farm & Work with Angelic & Elemental Kingdoms

My new Zaadz friend Sharon Baller in Michigan turned me on to a wonderful place called Green Hope Farm.

http://www.greenhopeessences.com/WhatAre/index.html 

 here's a little bit of info from the Green Hope Farm Web site: 

A VERY LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY
From the beginning, the Angelic Kingdom has served as the architects of all form and the Elemental Kingdom has served as the manifestors of all form. Together they bring all creation into manifestation and hold it in physical form. When humans first incarnated on Earth, the Angelic and Elemental Kingdoms made an agreement with the Human Kingdom to serve us by creating and manifesting plants and minerals in the natural world that would help the evolution of each human's Divine self.

When the Human Kingdom began its long journey in ego illusion, our growing negativity created disease and disharmony. The Angelic and Elemental Kingdoms then agreed to provide the plants and minerals needed to heal these diseases. Thus, the Angelic and Elemental Kingdoms serve humankind by filling our natural environment with trees, flowers, rocks, and waters that have the ability to help us evolve spiritually and also cure our various ills. Flower Essences have long been an essential part of this healing package. They have been available to humankind for millennia, all because of the generosity of the Angelic and Elemental Kingdoms.

If you feel an affinity with Flower Essences, it may be because you have worked with them before in ancient Lemuria, in Atlantis, or some other earlier Earth civilization. In Lemuria, many flowers were created cooperatively by humans, Angels and Elementals for specific spiritual and healing purposes. These flowers later became important Flower Essences.

 

Calling Up Fairies

Journeys [no longer around] said Jul 26, 2006, 3:19 PM:

 

Hi Joan and All!

I'm currently reading a section in Serge King's book “Urban Shaman” about “shapechanging” or communication with plants that I thought you would all appreciate. Serge writes about how a guy named George Washington Carver was able to do “incredible things with plants.” These words speak volumes. :)

Quote from Urban Shaman:

“He, (GWC), derived hundreds of separate, economically important products from plants he worked with, not by scientific study, analysis, or experimentation, but by deep communication. When asked how he performed his miracles he said that all plants and living things talked to him, and that  “I Learn What I know By Watching And Loving Everything.” Much of his work was done in a private laboratory in which no books were allowed, where he would spend hours communicating with plants to learn what they had to teach. Not long before his death he said that in touching a flower, “I am touching infinity. Through the flower I talk to the Infinite. It is that still small voice that calls up the fairies.”

Peace and love,

Journeys

Hi Journeys,

I had heard about George Washington Carver before, but not in detail.

That is a great quote from Urban Shaman.

I looked up more about Carver online and it appears he was quite a spiritual and exemplary person, dedicated to service above all. He “choose instead to work for the improvement of the quality of life for the disenfranchised.”

http://inventors.about.com/library/weekly/aa041897.htm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Washington_Carver

“He could have added fortune to fame, but caring for neither, he found happiness and honor in being helpful to the world.” - Epitaph on the grave of George Washington Carver.

ABOUT GEORGE WASHINGTON CARVER - Born a slave in Mississippi, Carver earned a high school diploma after the Civil War while working as a farmhand. He attended Iowa Agricultural College while working as the school janitor. He received his Master’s degree from Iowa as well and became the first Black person to serve on its faculty. Shortly thereafter he joined the faculty at Booker T Washington’s Tuskegee. Above all, Carver was a spiritual person: “How do I talk to a little flower? Through it I talk to the Infinite…. I refer to the unseen Spirit that defies the power of human reproduction, that challenges the power of human expression…. When you look into the heart of the rose, there you experience it.” Carver never patented most of his discoveries while at Tuskegee: “God gave them to me; how can I sell them to someone else?” Though he was offered large salaries to work for Thomas Edison and Henry Ford, Carver choose instead to work for the improvement of the quality of life for the disenfranchised: “If I took that money, I might forget my people.”

GEORGE WASHINGTON CARVER QUOTES
“It is not the style of clothes one wears, neither the kind of automobile one drives, nor the amount of money one has in the bank, that counts. These mean nothing. It is simply service that measures success.”

“Look about you. Take hold of the things that are here. Let them talk to you. You learn to talk to them.”

“There is no short cut to achievement. Life requires thorough preparation – veneer isn’t worth anything.”

“Learn to do common things uncommonly well; we must always keep in mind that anything that helps fill the dinner pail is valuable.”

Hi Joan!

Thanks for the links, references and quotes about GWC. :)

I'm just added him to my profile “heros” list.

Here is a Zaadz Quote link for more of his quotes - http://www.zaadz.com/quotes/George_Washington_Carver

One of my favorite quotes by him -  “Anything will give up its secrets if you love it enough.”

And to further expand this thought - “Not only have I found that when I talk to the little flower or to the little peanut they will give up their secrets, but I have found that when I silently commune with people they give up their secrets also - if you love them enough.”

Peace and love,

Journeys
