Thank you for this- I am familiar with all of the experiential
dynamics you are describing here, but still don't get the context of
the devata-particles. Are they beings that become visible within the
localized body (Jim's two arms, legs, etc.), when we choose to look
for them there, or viewed in our consciousness, though appearing
external to ourselves?
