TRANSCRIPT

Great Spirit of the Praying Mantis: It is not so complicated, daughter. Your species has and prides itself on taking the most simple of tasks and presenting them as quite challenging and this is of course, a choice. You have and seek to understand that it is most difficult to be in receivership of the great flow and bounty of the universe. It is the same as we perceive it as one who has the key to open the locked door of your home in your pocket, and yet you have and shake the door and forget, if you will, the ease with which you have and may enter.

And so, you rush about, trying each of your windows, trying that which has or may be your back door, and finally seeking to enter through the basement if possible, or perhaps even through the breaking of glass and slipping between the shards into that which is your home. And therefore, you have made it inside. Is it not simply more efficient and less stressful to take the key out of your pocket, put it in the lock, and enter?

What is this analogy that we have and carried forward with us? We will explain; however, we will announce ourselves. We are that which has and vibrates as the Spirit – or as you are like to call us – The Great Spirit of the Praying Mantis.

We have and often ponder what it is about the human nature that seeks to complicate the simple, that seeks to claim the challenge of that which has and would flow with ease if one was simply to open the arms of your expectation and to know that all that you have and need will be brought forward in service of your wellbeing as you have and know it so.

The analogy of one who holds within one’s pocket the key to calling forth that which you have and would manifest has and always was with you. You have not lost it; you may have forgotten where you have placed it. That is accurate. And yet, as you watch each and all of your friends and neighbors go through these same machinations not remembering they carry the keys of ease of flow within them, and always have and always will. If you prefer, you may perceive it as those combination locks that require a code. That too is worthwhile and you have simply forgotten it. You knew it once, and now in your current awareness as individuate and clan, you cannot recall what it is you set your keypad to. And so, you fret. And so, you fear. And so, you doubt.

Is it not simply that which has and would be most useful to have and to rest fully into your knowing that had you and do you know it once you have and will recall it as you know it so. And so, you will.

We step forward today to offer you that which has been wisdom we have bestowed at various points in your history. We speak of your species. There were those who had and received with great respect and joy, the wisdom of our flow. And then, much as with that key, it is that which you have and carry within your field as an awareness that you have and simply have forgotten which pocket you have placed it into.

So, we step forward once again at this beautiful place in the potential of your species’ evolution and offer you the grace of the mantle of your praying mantis nature. And what would that be, daughter? Are you able to venture a conjecture? We do not judge. We simply seek to use you as the student who has, if not raised your hand, yet been called upon, as we have and see you in our field.

Channel: Greetings and welcome, Great Spirit of the Praying Mantis. Thank you for your wisdom and your guidance. I perceive the nature of praying mantis as one who has and does not chase after that which would fill your belly, but as you have and remain in your stillness, in your surety that it will come to you, so the prey comes to you.

Great Spirit of the Praying Mantis: That is not inaccurate, and it is so. In our knowing, and in our stillness, the answers we seek, the wisdom we would consume, and yes, in our physical aspect that which has and would fill our belly, our physical expression of life force has and also comes to us. It is through our stillness, our expectation and our gratitude that all has and comes to those who wait. In a manner we are not speaking of the labors of the day, although some will most joyfully accept this as, if you will, a ticket to simply remain in statis of intent and flow. This is not the teaching. We are not offering that one sits back upon one’s couch, ah, with a bowl of popcorn and simply knowing that all you have and seek will be delivered to you. For you control the channel that you watch, yes? And you control that which has and would be the one who gets up from the couch to prepare what has and would nurture you, not only in the flesh but in the spirit and in the heart.

You are not in a physical life experience to simply think yourself through these creative expressions. You are and enjoy the blessing of a physical form as that which has and seeks the pleasures and the constraints of a flesh, the requirements, and the learning.

Why then, do we step forward when we may cause confusion within the field of some of the knowings? That is why we address it. There are many who have forgotten or, if you will, forgotten where they have placed this knowing in the pockets in their incarnate expression. And so, we step forward to remind with that which is our physical outpicturing and our nature. We have been described as an opportune predator. And while that may not be fully accurate, our willingness to know ourselves in a place where that which we have and require for our wellbeing, as we know and it has and will come to us, so it has and comes to us.

There are ways, variations, and seasons wherein it may require a repositioning, so to speak. How may you understand this and not lose track completely of the key of your deep knowingness of the benevolent nature of the universe, and as that which has and will hold you in the arms of your requirements and meet them most joyfully? If you had and were sitting outside on a lovely spring day, enjoying the feeling of the sun as it warms your skin, and as the hours pass by, you find yourself no longer in the direct line of receivership of these rays and a little bit cooled, is it not wise to simply lift up your chair and reposition it such that as you will it, you once again face the light and receive the warmth that you had sought.

This is what is required should you find that you are in an environment that once held the great warmth of sun, which was what you had desired. And it therefore has moved as all have and do with the evolution and endless flow that is the nature of all life expressed within and outside of this plane, and you simply seek to continue to be in receivership. There is that which is required for you to realign yourselves with your knowing, your expectation, and your gratitudes. 

We invite and offer the blessing of your praying mantis nature as that which is a mantle that you may call to yourselves to great efficiency. It is not a struggle, nor are we proposing a stasis of your own flow. Rather it is a balancing wherein you hold and know yourself held as you have and offer prayers of joy-filled gratitude, not only those sounds you make through your mouth, but that which is the song of your knowing heart.

And in this you are not required to scurry around that which would be the house of your desires and to see and to struggle and to look and feel where is it that I may enter? Why are all the doors locked? Why are all the windows tightly shut? But rather to simply still yourself and to settle your thinking and your feeling such that much that two beings who have not seen each other for a while know themselves in the joy of a reunion as one has and perhaps arrives at the train station or disembarks from the airplane after a trip and you have and acknowledge each other, and you have and embrace each other. And in that is your alignment, your reunification of your deeper knowing with that which are the current circumstances that you have and know yourself held within in this physical plane.

When one has and perceives a praying mantis, many of your species feel the blessing of grace bestowed. We are still. We are in a point of joy-filled receivership. We do not struggle. We do not tear about. We have and consume the great wisdom that has and is within. One has and calls us “praying” because you have observed that we hold our energy field in alignment. We do not allow as it is not our nature the great expelling of our frenetic life source in service to that which we have and hold within us. We simply steady ourselves and turn our awareness into our stillness where much as that which is the water kicked up by the crashing of the waves and filled with the sand of confusion as it has, and the winds settle that which has been clouded is clear and offers ease of perceiving to the guidance that has always rested on the seabed of our knowing.

We acknowledge we speak in metaphor. And yet we also offer ourselves in the physical manner such that our nature, which is yours as you seek to claim it, has and is so easily forgotten or mislaid, may be called forward in reminding you, guiding you, in our quiet way of that which is the great power of your internal light.

There are many who have and revere the vibratory field of the praying mantis and that is understood. For we have and serve as that key that you have and need reminding of. Not the key that opens your door, the key that unlocks the greater awareness of your heart. You need not from us that which is outside of yourself. It is the blessing we serve this rather frantic generation who has and has become so easily manipulated by the external claiming that all you have and would desire does not nor has it ever been found at the bottom of the clear waters of your listening and your – and we use this word gently, for it will shake some – your deep faith, your knowingness, your expectation, and gratitudes, your relationship energetically with the great energetic field of flow that you perceive as universe, as the unified field, as the god or gods, and as many other descriptives, none of which in truth are large enough, nor could ever be to contain that which has no boundary, and is in truth ever expanding as each and all have and contribute to its ever-increasing light.

It is a worthy season to call to yourselves, each and all, for this is a blessing for your entire clan, daughter, the mantle of your praying mantis nature. Not in that which has and prays from fear or doubt, destress at what has and seems to be topsy-turvy in that which has and would appear in some ways the frantic emptying out of every pocket possibility to find the key that you have and always knew was there. ‘Tis not required. We invite you to allow the silt, the dust, the sands that are kicked up by your frantic motions as you dash here and there in the sequence of your daily lives, and to just still yourselves as you are willing and slowly and clearly once the sands, the dirt, the dust has been offered the blessing of a little settling, all that you have and seek to find will be very clearly made present, not because it was elsewhere; it was always right there, right below your feet. It is simply that you had kicked up too much confusion in your field. The sands of fear, distraction, distrust, the sands that you have and call forth in your own cultures that have and hide all you seek, which simply rests within arms’ reach when you have and still your field when you have and, if you will, you turn and walk with great joy towards that which is the stilling of your worried heads.

The allowing of all that has and is the sand of confusion, of distraction, and in truth the sands that have and are through other’s intent tossed directly into the field of your present existence. For there are those who have and are most pleased when you turn yourselves around, lift your hearts in a panic, or great fear that you can never find the key, and they in truth find this most amusing and nourishing as an energetic.

We do not seek to cause you fear. We seek to calm it. For you are not required to shiver in the corner in fear, to perceive yourselves as never able to enter the greater home of your knowing. And yet there are those who have and would not mind if you had and never found that pocket in which your key, the key of your alignment with your higher knowing, your praying mantis nature has always been, yes?

There is a pace that has and fills this physical plane, an energy of the need to rush, and yet not to really arrive anywhere other than the next point of rushing. This is inefficient and in truth, perhaps not in highest discernment. We do not hunger. We do not doubt as we have and know in our heart that we will be well cared for as we trust in what we would describe as the benevolent nature, however it may appear, of the universe to bring to us that which is in our requirement, and yes, as we have and move ourselves to another branch on occasion should we find we are in the shadow of the day. So we have and know ourselves as a species that has predated your own by many, many millennia and one that has and perhaps will continue without that which you have and struggle so dearly with in the frenzy of the current field of the energetic that has and kicks the sands of confusion up, creating great clouds of distortion.

If one has and seeks to perceive through what one may understand as fog or haze, one can understand that oftentimes the increase of the light and the warmth has and will burn it off and that which was so unclear has and is made clear, has and is obvious, if you like, in that which has and we hope and perceive all have and will breathe great sighs of realignment as you have and say, oh, that’s where it is. I had it with me all along. You many understand this feeling for those who have and are so attached to your cell phones, your devices when you have and place it in another room, or it falls beneath your bed, under your chair, or even under the seat of your car and you have a moment – we feel is often it is of sheer panic – where did I place that? My attunement, my connection, that which guides me, that through which I am required to receive and to discharge my field. And then you rest as you rediscover, oh, it is here. I have and never lost it to begin with.

That great sense of relief is what we call to your awareness now. You have never lost the vibratory field of your praying mantis nature. You have simply lost sight of what you have and know in your heart.

To call to yourselves this blessing, the mantle and power of great stillness and the knowing that your needs have and are met as you have and know them so. A trust not in what lies outside of yourself, but in the great clearing of all that has and would obstruct the clarity of your vision – we speak of the eyes of the heart – you have and will be well-pleased. We offer that which is our guidance. We offer that which is the power of our field, one that has and is able to remain in the stillness of our intent and in the knowing that that which require in this particular field is that which we will receive in service to our need state.

We have and appreciate the opportunity to sing this small reminder and once again, place that which is the blessing for those who seek to claim it of your praying mantis nature. It is this as you have and claim it for yourselves, you have and will find much that you have and are not even aware you have misplaced, has and will appear where you had placed it to begin with.

You all have this and it is simply a slight realignment and an allowing of the settling of the many distortions of fear and that which has and would be the dust or the detritus that has and is placed all around you by those who perceive game that may be achieved for their own need state through your sense of lack or that which has and would be the desire to feel your own heart filled with what you have and understand as the vibratory field of love. As you may find that word laughable, it is the best we can come up with. It is eternal and it is your birthright to know yourselves held in the great light of love, full and total and joy-filled, celebration of all that you have and are. And yet, you have and through your free will are powerful beings, not simply as that which has and is opposed upon you, but through your own claiming and your aligning with what has deep meaning to you and the knowing that you do not lack anything or are less than in full possession of the key to your own wellbeing, as you have and shift your fear of all that may be brought down upon you, as the roof falling in, as the threats of the day.

We do not deny that you have created quite a dust storm in your current social relations with one another and the planet. And yet, within each of you there is the power and what you may understand as your birthright to have and claim your alignment with the great field of the praying mantis.

We are not suggesting that as you claim this that you will blink your eyes and vast amounts of physical resource will appear, much as the Amazon driver delivering whatever you have clicked upon and chosen. There is always an exchange of energy, yes? And yet it is not always required to be that which you have and are or do not have available to you. The universe is not limited to the Amazon warehouse, we would gently observe. As you have and release this rather tunnel vision of the manner in which your needs may be met, you will find the universe is quite creative and endlessly resourceful, not in lack as you know it so.

It is this blessing and reminder that we have and seek to bestow upon you, each and all, to claim that which is your high alignment with your praying mantis nature. We have and are joy-filled to serve it to the heartplace of all members of your clan, daughter.

It is this blessing we sought to serve and we are aware we have and wandered a bit as we sought to gather up the many keys of understanding and hold them clearly out to those of your species for their claiming.

It is complete. As you have and will it, so we have and take our leave.
