INTRODUCTION

Welcome friends this is your host tracy shoolman with today’s episode of Gaia Translate I was drawn to channel the Great spirit of the Magpie after hearing a fascinating  report  on NPR  in which researchers had attached  GPS tracking devices to a number of  magpies  to study the species  and how other magpies quickly set about helping the birds equipped with the  tracking devices by pecking at them to remove them.

“Researchers tried to attach tracking devices to magpies for a study. But the magpies helped each other to remove them — a possible sign, the scientists say, of altruism in the birds.”

TRANSCRIPT

Great Spirit of the Magpie:  It is wise not to conflate the physical structure of a being with the measure of their intellectual capacity, yes?

We are that which has and in your neck of the woods is identified as “magpie.” We are related to others who are also those who have and would claim powerful intellect, such as crow and raven. We have learned and invite your species to embrace with greater willingness that the comprehension of another species’ intellectual abilities is usually far underestimated by your clan. 

There are many sorts of wisdom, yes? There is the wisdom of one who has and may decipher lines and symbology that has been placed on an external tablet or other, and that is a wisdom. There is the wisdom that has and feels the heartbreak or the joy of another and is able to read as clearly the story upon the heart. And that is also a wisdom. There is the wisdom of those who have and do not seek to be distracted, if you will, by the vessel another life form has and is residing within, be it of the animal kingdom, of the plant kingdom, of the insect kingdom, of the mycelia, the mineral, the winged ones, or other.

That which as and serves as the attunement of awareness, as the attunement of that which has and is the power of continuance in a species, whatever it may out picture as, may not always be measured using the tools of human designation. When you as a species, we would observe, seek to measure what you consider the intellectual capacity or ability the species that is not your own, we find it amusing that you seek to use that which has and may have value to you, and yet be of little use to them, and therefore, not brought into the forefront of their awareness with any efficiency.

We are aware that we have impressed those who have and study such things with our ability to understand that that which is a reflection in the waters of the mirror has and is simply that, not another being and we have and acknowledge it. For many, their wisdom is not through the eyes as primary source. Their wisdom may be through sense of smell, touch, or feeling, and this is actually also true of some of your own species, is it not? As such, when you have or would observe a, an animal or other form of life who does not seem particularly intrigued or distracted by that which is their own reflection, perhaps it is simply not of great importance, or they have and simply acknowledge it is their own reflection, and therefore there is not much to assess through the claiming therein.

We would invite your species to much as those who are “dog” or other, identify and are informed through scent primarily to try and maneuver your way through that which would be the scent markings of another across a piece of land or in your lavatory, scent or your sense of smell. While it is better than some, is in truth far more limited than those of the canine expression, and many other species. And yet, this does not deny that you have and are blessed with resource that have and serve your own need state and that have and offer the gateways of perception and integration of information most efficiently.

We offer these small examples as that which has and is a bit of distortion, if you do not mind us pointing out, in the field of your clan. For when one has and seeks to claim the yardstick of value and measurement, is it not wise to consider what you have and are using and how it has and may in truth truly assess that which is independent of certain sensory systems that are so important and at the forefront of your own.

We are not here to simply point out, if you will, a few tender spots in your own process of evaluative theory, simply to offer that it is wise as you are willing to claim it to seek to measure from within that which has and is the perspective of another species and to measure what you would claim as intellectual prowess or superiority, not in the ability – if you do not mind us suggesting – of that which is the magpie’s capacity to reach of a piece of food through the unlatching or moving of this or that constraint. While that may be on occasion the manner in which we are required to call our foodstuff to ourselves, if it is not that which has and is efficient, if it is not that which has and is useful, it is perhaps, underdeveloped or not claimed in that which would be the efficiency of our flow.

There are many examples and we do not deny there is some discernment that is gleaned through these studies of what you claim as intellect or intellectual prowess in species that are not your own. It is simply that there is, if you will, a bias, is there not? For you have and seek to use the measuring stick of how you have and what you have as a species find useful in your own circumstance. And we do not deny you have many useful traits and you have applied them most effectively. It is simply that we offer this, for there is great flow of awareness in this plane. There is great intellect and knowing that is beyond the ability to verbally or in your thought forms receive information through the symbology in a book or across one of your devices or simply in the exchange of your language with one another.

It is the blessing of an expansion of what you have and would seek to identify as those who have and hold deep wisdom, deep attunement, and wit, if you will, however they may seek or find it efficient to manifest it, a skill set that has and may seek to serve your own validation as a measure of independent intellect is of some use, we do not deny, and yet primarily it is a measure of the capacity of adaptation or problem solving in a manner that has and reaches across our awareness such that we have and are guided to sift through a bit what it is you have and seek to discern through this or that experiment.

It is polite to seek to inquire, we would offer, the willingness of a candidate to be a part, a participant of this or that experiment or study, as has been drawn to the Channel’s attention. There were those who sought to track us and place devices around our neck that was not in a place of attunement with our desire. You have learned far more from our capacity to remove these devices, with some efficiency we would offer, as much as you have or would have learned from that which is the constant tracking of our flow.

We do not seek to control. We do not seek to sublimate. We do not seek to judge. We simply seek to know ourselves as respected member of the greater clan of life that has and flows within this plane. It is not a great indulgence, we would offer, upon the part of your own expression to turn the eyes of your awareness towards that which is a bit of rebalancing. Not only with our own small species in this plane, but with all species of life, however they may out picture or manifest, such that each and all are offered due respect, yes, and the acknowledgment that what has and is a great blessing of attunement to the wisdom required by this or that life form may not always fit so nicely into those small studies that have been and are continuing to be created by those who study such things and would seek to categorize that which is understood as magpie or any other by virtue of the measurement of the success, if you will, at accomplishing this or that task.

We are not suggesting that there is malintent by those who study these things. Simply that it is useful and discerning to accept the inherent limitations of any study that knows itself based outside of the awareness of another, rather than within.

This shift a bit in the general approach to that which is the engagement in very level with beings who are not sourced of the human collective is highly guided to embrace at this point in our mutual history. For there you have and will know yourselves well-served and great doorways and gateways of flow, of amplification of attunement between that of the human species and those of the multifarious other life forms in this plane has and serves mightily.

It is this point of discernment we seek to call again and again into the forefront of your field, and so we have and served it. We are not unwilling to continue the relation of our communications with those of your species. We simply thought to offer this small clarification as to the power of your own discernment as sourced from without the distortion at the highest measure of intellect in this plane has and is the capacity to behave, to think, to act as human.

We are pleased to have had this opportunity to bestow this awareness upon the plate of your knowing, brothers and sisters of the light. And so, we have and would gratefully seek our leave, as you have and are so willing to grant it, daughter.

Channel: Thank you, Great Spirit of the Magpie. Thank you for your wisdom, your awareness, and your grace.
