TRANSCRIPT

Great Spirit of the Burr Oak: We greet you. You are accurate. We are a branch of the tree of the greater wisdom that has and is known as the Great Spirit of Oak. We step forward as a particular key in the Song of Oak, as it were. We are that which has and holds the vibratory field of the Burr Oak, as you have named us. We are not unwilling to receive that moniker, as your species identifies us in this manner. 

There is much afoot in this dimension. There is much that has and threaten the well-being of all life in flow. We step forward to offer the service of our bounty in a manner that once and now may again serve the well-being, not only of many other members of the community that have and are in flow here, yet also as your own, daughter.

We have and hold great nutrient and power in that which you understand as our acorn, that which is the fruit of our possible continuance. And while one has and is prudent in the consumption of that which is required to continue the flow or repopulate that which is a particular brand of embodied light, yet we encourage those of your clan, in particular, to seek, to call forth your wit, your ingenuity, and to, if you will, consider the power of our particular strain of that which is the energy of Oak as you seek to replant and to rebuild the forests of rebalancing that have and are so greatly felled at this point of our mutual understanding.

We are most hearty and able, we feel, beyond the capacity of others, to withstand what which we perceive is approaching, much as the hot winds of potential have and blow more and more eagerly upon our field. As such, we have and are great providers and we have and require a certain amount of nurturance ourselves in the growing. It would not be unadvised to begin in the present moment to have and seek to call forth the seedlings and the saplings of many of our flow and to distribute them not only where you have and perceive they have and would take root, as current environmental circumstances might suggest, and yet a bit further north, if you will, from where you have and might consider it be an appropriate environ. As there is that which has and shifts with great rapidity, that which is the window of our most fertile potential northward and northward again. To prepare yourselves and to plant the seeds of our blessing in this which is a great season of undoing and perhaps of redoing as you call it to yourselves will be quite useful.

While that which is the consumption of our seed is not that which is presently as popular or as depended upon as it has been by certain members of your cultures and clans, yet may find that we offer what is able to withstand in greater measure and to produce beyond what many others might serve. We do seek this as you have and would call forth, and it is not inadvisable to call forth great forests of our expression. For you are not the only species that has and will be in requirement, that which has and offers generous nourishment through that which is its nature. And while we are not that which you consider your traditional fruiting tree, such as apple, or citrus, or pear, or other, yet there is quantity of certain nutrients that are available within our flow that are not so in the flow of others. And in truth, we are not in requirement once we have been established to look towards that which is the external tending, the watering and such. We are quite able, in more circumstances than we would offer your species may be, to attend to our own need state. However, we, along with all others, are not impervious to extremes of climate and to the full, if you will, dispersion of groundwaters or nourishing rains and flow.

We further would suggest that there are many forests – and we mean no offense – that have and are quite populated with the pine, and the pine is a beautiful sister and cousin in the light. Yet, they have and are not those who hold deep roots, and this is a season where deeply rooting is most efficacious in the service to that which is in truth the survivorship of one's physical life force. 

As we have offered, it has and is most timely and a blessing of grace we do bestow. It may appear self-serving, yet in truth we seek as we have always done to serve as a guide, as wisdom keeper, and as that which has and offer ourselves in all manners to your requirement as a species and to a multitude of others who have and know us as that which is their homestead, that which is their food source, that which offers shade, that which offers protection, and that which has and allows other life forms to reside within, and we accept this as part of our flow.

Beyond your imagining as a clan, daughter, these great waves of shift have and are gathering with greater and greater efficiency of flow. And yet we feel, particularly as you have and seek to seed our saplings seeding our saplings in climes that are further north than might be traditionally understood as feasible, will offer us the opportunity to grow and deeply root ourselves in a manner that with that which is not in replacement of your timely and great enthusiastic reduction of all that contributes to the dissolution of this plane. We have and would be there with the open arms of heart as that which will companion in these times of shift and to serve as that which is a grace bestowed, as you have and consider not only your own immediate need state, but the well-being and continuance of the greater flow of all through this, the planting of our particular expression, and we are not seeking to diminish the value or use , if you will, or presence energetically of other forms of our expression. Simply that we have and are, if you will, that which would offer the greatest benefit for the investment, as your species is so fond of weighing, energetically, we speak of. 

And in this, as you have and with intention, we might suggest, seek to set aside, perhaps no less than half of all you plant as that which is a gift of rebalancing and of retribution, that has and is required as that which you offer to other forms of life – those of the winged ones, those of the four-legged, those of the insects, and those who have and live within the soils as that which has and is the reaching out of the arms of your heart in acknowledgment that they too are not only other members of the community with whom you nod as you pass by, yet essential members of the family without which there is not that which has and is sustainable for all in this beautiful song of manifest life in flow.

It is this great blessing of serving in an essential manner, that which is and has been considered and available resource for what you seek to construct, seek to warm yourselves with, seek to clear away in great swaths when you desire to plant a building, a structure, or other aspects of your expansion as a clan, and to consider, and if we were to offer that which is advice above all others, the great disservice you serve to yourselves when you have and uproot any of our clan or other of the trees that have and are  the deeply rooted ones that have and hold beyond your understanding that which is the steadying of the Earth itself, of the soils we speak of, such that when that which is great rains and floods would seek with ease to carry away much, including your own structures and yourselves, your livestock, your friends. We have and hold steady and in so doing, we have and anchor with the roots of our will, that which is the opportunity for a steadying hand upon that which has and would seek to uproot all that we have known and you, in service to our mutual continuance in this field.

It is this blessing and invitation, both to seek with great joy in heart, the cultivation – and you are quite efficient at it, we feel – when you set your intention to walk in concert with your will, that which is the harvesting and the calling forth of the seeding and the sprouting of that which is the sapling of our expression, and the gift of inserting us across greater swaths of your land mass, as you perceive it, wherein we have and are joy filled to serve the next season of our intertwined flow. 

It is this great blessing we would offer, blessing of our will to collaborate and work in partnership for the well-being of your clan, daughter, and that of all, and to offer gently that that which you have and would seek to cut down for various uses is that which as you cut may be that which slices deep into your own potential. And to honor and hold in deep regard as has been and is and will be again the grace, the wisdom, the power, and the steadying light of the deeply rooted ones. You may understand us as what which is the ancestral forests, the grandfather or grandmother trees. You have and feel us, and for those who seek to exchange our flesh, our trunk, for that which is the energy of recompense, and to simply use us to construct your domiciles or other, is less than the highest discernment of right action. The cost of this aspect of claiming our physicality is far beyond that which if you knew it you would ever be willing to pay. 

It is this blessing of wisdom and the grace of our willing collaboration, partnership and, if you will, prescient guidance that we have and seek to place in the forefront of your clan’s knowing. For it is more than timely to commence that which has and will serve as a blessing beyond measure for those who have and are your saplings and theirs to follow, yes?

Channel: Thank you, Great Spirit of the Burr Oak. Thank you for that beautiful blessing. I am in honored receivership therein. 

Great Spirit of the Burr Oak: We appreciate your serving as rain barrel of sorts and now that you have gathered the rain of our wisdom and our offer, is it not useful to that that which we have filled and to pour it with eagerness on your own part into the heart place of all who have and seek to know themselves well-watered in the soil of their continuance, yes?

Channel: Yes, thank you, Great Spirit. 

Great Spirit of the Burr Oak: You are welcome, daughter. It is what we sought to serve, and it is most timely to offer this into the public square in all aspects that have and are available in the currents of your flow. It is complete. As you have and would, so we would take our leave.
