INTRODUCTION

Welcome friends, this is your host Tracy Shoolman with today’s episode of the Gaia Translate podcast. On occasion, I like to offer a little bit of an explanation about how a particular spirit of the natural world is brought to my attention. In this episode I channel the Great Spirit of the Sea Otter. While I have always found Sea Otters to be incredibly cute I had never thought to  consider how they interact with the environment until I came across a  BBC article titled published in September of 2021 titled: “How Sea Otters Help Fight Climate Change.” According to the article, Sea otters were hunted to the brink in the 19th Century fur trade, luckily their numbers have been slowly recovering. Research reveals the return of these playful creatures doesn't just transform their ecosystems, it can turn them into a powerful carbon sink.

TRANSCRIPTION

Great Spirit of The Sea Otter: [audio begins at 0:00:08] There is a point of greater attunement, is there not, daughter? 

Channel: Yes, thank you. 

Great Spirit of The Sea Otter: We are pleased to be held in the attunement of your awareness. We have and are that which is the Great Spirit of The Sea Otter. We appreciate your willingness to receive a little knock upon your door that we have offered of late, and we have and would seek a moment of your knowing, and that of those of your family, your fellow members of the community who know themselves as species of human, yes? 

Channel: Yes, thank you, Great Spirit of the Sea Otter. I am very grateful for your attunement. 

Great Spirit of The Sea Otter: That is understood, daughter. We have and would seek to acknowledge we have had an interesting relation, our species and your own. For have there not been points in our mutual history where you have and found that which was the pelt, the fur of our expression? That which you enjoyed in the exchange for other’s aspect rather of your own need state, and in such you have and claimed in great quantity those of our species. We are not unaware that there have been those of your species who have also consumed our flesh, and that is understood, daughter. For we have and are a part of a greater flow, are we not? Where one has and may know itself in the service of the nourishment of another. So it has and is. We are not, if you will, standing, nor are any, outside of that relation with those other members of the family of life that knows itself here in this dimension. 

We have and would further offer that there was that which was felt most deeply, if you will, when there were such a great member of our community claimed, over and again, by those of your own species to meet one or other need state through the sale of our physical pelts, if you will, or the consumption of our flesh that we had and knew ourselves standing at the doorway of our extinguishment in a physical form. However, we have and would offer we are most aware that there have been an awakening of sorts, an attunement of the heartplace of many of your species to that which has and is this great imbalance, this great, if you will, wobbling beneath the shores of our potential continuance, and you have, and members of your own tribe have sought to rectify, to replenish our stores, our own expression, and it is that which we have and are and profoundly grateful for. In this, we offer our gratitudes for your as -- [stammer - 0:03:56] awareness, attunement, and willing alignment to that which is the continuance of our expression. For as we all have and know ourselves as worthy neighbor, if not as friend, we have and are also aware, as you have and are calling yourselves into attunement that are we not that which has and consumes other. You would know them as sea urchin and other, such that we have and offer balance in a greater measure, a greater capacity, than has and was understood to be required for many other species and for that which is the balancing of a particular aspect of the ecological flow of this particular dimension. 

And in that, we are grateful and as you have and are calling yourselves [0:05:00] into greater and greater alignment, it is with great joy in our heart we have and serve you that which is commendation and accolade and gratitude. For you have and hold within your heart and your will great and unbounded capacity to have and call forth that which is the rebalancing, not simply of your relation and our own, but of your relation with many, many others. For even in the simple act through your will-based intent of calling forth that which is the repopulation of the depleted physical species, if you will, of our own nature, that of the sea otter, back into those environs which are our natural habitat, you have and serve in deep honor and respect, and in truth you serve many and much that may only be partially in the, if you will, window of your awareness. 

We are most grateful and we have and also feel that there is a great love in the heartplace of many of your species for what you have and perceive as that which is the pleasant out picturing of our physical form and that which you have and those who have and understand the bond of love and connection between that which is the Mother and that which is the Child. We have and are that which vibrates deeply with the sacred attunement and we have and appreciate that it is understood, accepted, admired and, if you will, a point of mutual awareness between our species. For while it has and we know ourselves as that which has and is so blessed to call forth that which is the new song of an embodied life through those of our own expression, so too we have and feel the vibration of awareness of that which has and is not simply through the act of biology, but through the act of an open and joy-filled heart, has and is a bond that is beyond that which is the limitation of either our language or your own, of our expression or your own. For it is not in requirement that we have and may sit down at a particular point and have great discourse for each and both of us to have and recognize most clearly that which is a song of a bonded heart. 

We have and are most grateful that you have and offer us this attunement of your own fields, brothers and sisters, members of the great family of the human awareness, and we have and admire it and observe it more than you may imagine in that which is your own. We have and are not as blessed as you, for there are those of our own species who have and stay with us but a bit and then are able to know themselves independent and sovereign in their expression. You have a bit more clock-time, if you will, to bond, to teach, to hold close in your heart that which is the sacred attunement of one who has and is parent and one who has and is the parented. 

There is that which we also have and feel is, if you will, similar in our nature and your own. For we have and do not simply seek to trudge through our days with that which is the burden of requirement, the burden of necessity. There is in each moment the opportunity, the blessing and the delight in knowing ourselves in a physical form, in holding ourselves in the light of the blessing of being here in this beautiful and sacred song of life that has and is most unique in some aspect, most treasured in other, and most wounded in yet other that has and is of the great song [0:10:00], the creative light of intent that has and is born through that which is the will of Gaia. 

We have and marvel. We have and celebrate. We have and sing. For there is not that which has and is in truth more remarkable, more blessed, and more gratefully received than that which is the opportunity to know ourselves in this physical plane with each and all who have and are called forth in the sharing therein in the service of through that which is their nature, their design and that which has and knows itself through its own nature as that which is most essential to the continuance of unabated flow in and through the Gaia-light. 

It is this for we have come to the bend in the river a bit. For while we have and know ourselves held in the blessing of the awareness of your species in many aspects, that which has been the depletion of our own expression and your intent to have and replenish us, for which we are profoundly grateful. Yet, we have and offer there is other that has and would challenge us and those who have and are members of our community within the waters that have and blanket this plane. 

We have and speak of those who have and are fellow community members in the waters that we have and would dwell, for there is much that has and disturbs the equilibrium, the balance, and the sustainability of all who have and know themselves as what we would understand as water-breathers, yes? And it is in part we feel simply a lack of attunement in your own heartplaces that has, and much as you have done with us, and quite successfully so, we would offer, is timely, in truth our family of neighbors of the human tribe, of the human collective to have and open the eyes of your heart to the many other members of this particular attuned  alignment, this particular expression of life that has and would seek to know itself in some manner of continuance, wherein there is much that has and in truth, weeps deeply for there is much lost that may not be regained. 

It is – we use this word with great awareness – urgent should you seek as a species, as neighbors, as friends, as powerful and willing beings of the light to assist not only the recapturing, the reconfiguration, the cleansing, the transmutation of much that is tainted, despoiled, and if you will, toxic in its current relation in the environment that we have and would call our home that has and is simply a discharge, the waste product, that which has and is the offering from those which have and are your vessels that have and would cross not only upon the waters or within them, but within the air and upon the land. These have and discharge that which have and create a toxic and less than viable environment, and not simply for our own species and many others, but yet in truth for those of your own issue and yourselves. 

This is not, if you will, logical for us, and nor is it efficient, and nor is it sustainable. We simply seek to remind you, brothers and sisters of the human family, that you have and when you have and would seek, you may place that which is the finger of your intent [0:15:00] upon that which you seek to reconstruct, to cleanse, realign, to repopulate, to honor and to cherish. For while you have and bear witness to our cherishing, if you will, with our great hearts of those of our own species who know themselves as our issue, our children, we have and would offer there are many who would be most grateful to know themselves held in the light of your full awareness and in the light of the plight of all that has and befalls them with greater and greater urgency as little or less than that which is required is claimed into the reconfiguration by those of your own species, as you have and know yourselves and we offer you are an integral part of, not apart from, this environment, this Gaia, this home that has and is so intricate, so complex, and so beautifully attuned – or was. 

To seek an honored and respectful relation with those other aspects of all that you are, as we are, that which is the greater organism of flow that knows itself born from that which is the will of Gaia, is in truth, essential at this point in our mutual awareness. 

And we have and are aware, for we have and are that which is, if you will, living proof that where one has and sets the compass of one’s will, one has and may reclaim that which has and appears to be almost woefully lost. Do not doubt yourselves, brothers and sisters. You are most powerful, most able, should you simply have and, if you will, recalibrate a bit that which is the bearing of your own will such that it has and as you are so willing, points directly toward that which is the path of reclamation, of rebalancing, of cleansing, and of willing reattunement through your own actions, the cessation therein of many, many, many of your actions and, if you will, daily activities that you have grown a bit used to and in truth, a bit blind to how they have and would in truth, most potently effect your fellow neighbors and members of your communities, be they upon or within the land, be they within the air, be they upon or within the waters. 

We do not speak only of the waters that have and are our own natural habitat. In truth, we speak of all waters that have and know themselves as the scared source of our continuance and all others in this particular plane of awareness. 

Do not, if you will, continue to be confused, to be held in denial about that which has and is befallen all. It is unwise in truth, brothers and sisters, for we have and can feel the great grief within your own heartplace that has and would be born when those of your issue or your issue’s issue have no safe port in which to call themselves at home. For when one has and seeks to lay waste through perhaps, ignorance, perhaps denial, and in truth for some, willing intent to that which is the source of your own continuance. It is a confusion and confusing for those of our own species and other. 

While we may not be able to have and take a seat at the table, to have and create that which would be a social media campaign, if you will [20:00], such that it has and draws the attention or in truth, that which has and would be the resistance by some who have and cannot see beyond their own personal need state to that which is their own continuance through that which is the respectful honoring of limited resource that has and is the Gaia. 

We have and would offer we are most grateful and pleased that you have turned into an alignment with your awareness, not simply with your own species, but of many who have and are a part of this great family, this great song of physical informed flow that we have and are so joy-filled to be a part of. It is simply a matter of feeling the urgency of this season as it has and bears down upon us, each and all, and there are many who have and turn. And while the word “stewardship” has been at times served upon the heartplace of your species, we have and would offer, as you have and are so willing, to return to that understanding and that, if you will, blessing that you are in particular. We speak of all, able to embrace through your own will and the action that you have and seek to call forth in honoring of that which is your deep intent. 

This is not that which is out of the reach of possibility. It is that which most in the reach at this very point in our history, although it is delicately balanced and it is that which we have and would offer there is a season of birthing, brothers and sisters, as there is a season of dying or passing out of physical form, and you have and are at that place of choosing. We would hope, and we would offer gratitudes for, and hold our heartplace in joy-filled anticipation of your choosing the rebirthing, the reattunement, the re – if you will – alignment of much that has and known itself so out of balance through that which has been the activity called forth by those of your species. 

You have and are mighty and powerful and beautiful expression in physical form of a collective awareness, and we have and feel that you have and would seek to know yourselves in a higher vibratory mode of alignment and that has and is what we have and offer gratitudes for and sing most joyfully to have and offer our small song of attunement in service to this intent of your own heartplace. 

And we have and would suggest it is most timely and efficient to have and to not seek to put away “for the rainy day” that which has and will no longer be of use as you have and watch that which is the drought of your current circumstance claim much that might know itself able to be, in a manner, salvaged, in a manner, reborn through your timely and efficient action. 

We have and are joy-filled to know our song of concern and of gratitude being in receivership and being served to those of your species who have and honor us with your awareness and your willingness to have and bear witness to our grief and to have and to seek as you are willing, to claim that which is the reconfiguration and the rebuilding of much that has been [0:25:00], if you will, cast aside for that which may be convenience, that which may be the need to claim to yourselves more and more and more of that which you have and perceive as in requirement for your own comforts and need-states. 

Is it not timely to have and to be with that which has and is in truth a song of what has and is required, a song of what has and is not required, a song of what has and may be extraneous or in excess. For there is and has been sufficiency for all; however, that is no longer how things have and are unfolding. For one has and is, if you will, able through each and every act of your own will to rebalance that which has fallen out of balance and which has and continues. And we offer, much as we understood ourselves at that point where the lack of continuance was very close, if you will, to our hearts. It has and does not need to be so. It has and is still, albeit for a brief point of clock time, that which has and holds itself in the shimmering light of possibility, for reclamation, and for reconstruction and rebalancing, such that each and all have and serve not simply as their nature, but within their environ in a manner that has and supports, has and expands, has and is in balance with that which is the greater continuance of flow of life and of this beautiful song that has and is so wounded and so weary, that which is the Gaia, for we have and feel her grief as though it were our own. 

We have and have offered that which is the song of our heart, and it is with great gratitude we have and would take our leave. For we feel those who have and resonates so deeply with the open heart of love that you have and observe through that which is our own mothering, own parenting, our own desire to share the great light of life in form with those of our own issue, we feel deeply has and resonates within your own simply call and turn to this which has and is your own awareness and your own heart as it has and opens most beautifully as that which is a spectacular and sacred flower of light. For it has and is within each and all. We have bear [stammer - 0:28:41] we have and bear witness to it, for we have felt its light in the reclamation and rebuilding of our own expression through your own willing intent. 

You have and are powerful and beautiful beings. It is simply a matter of seeking to attune yourselves to that which has and is a sacred part of each and all of your own field of awareness. We have and encourage it, we have and sing gratitudes for it, and we have and offer blessings for the song of realignment with those our neighbors, and we would offer, friends of the human collective at this point in our mutual history. 

We have and would take our leave, daughter, and we appreciate your willingness to have and return to that which is our hearthfire for our own attunement in service to the flow of this discourse from our heart to those of your own [0:30:00] kind. 

It is sufficient, and with gratitude, we take our leave. 

Channel: Thank you, Great Spirit of the Sea Otter, for your wisdom and your light. I have and am honored to share it. Blessings be. 

Great Spirit of The Sea Otter: And to you, daughter. It is sufficient.
