TRANSCRIPT

Great Spirit of the Squirrel: We are close neighbors, are we not? I am one who sings the song of Squirrel. We have and are next-door neighbors, or if you will, those who live and share the same land. We have our home, and you have yours, or your nest, if you prefer. And while we have and go about our business, we thought to make it clear we are stepping forward with you little knot of wisdom we would serve to you and those of your greater collective. I speak as that which has and is The Greater Spirit of Squirrel who has tapped your awareness through that which is the one or the many who reside with you as neighbors, and companions of a sort in your field of awareness. What have you observed as the fall and winter season has and commences in this part of the Earth plane of our nature? We would ask you to offer a few most impressed understandings upon that which is the field of your awareness, as you would be so willing.

Channel: Greetings and welcome and Great Spirit of the Squirrel. Thank you for that clear knock. That was very clear, yes.

Great Spirit of the Squirrel: We had knocked a bit more subtly, we felt, and yet you perceived it simply as that which is the activities of one who is close neighbor, and some aspect, friend. And we felt it was timely to serve this little piece of wisdom to the greater clan of your awareness. And so we return. What have you observed of our nature, if you are so willing as to speak of this understanding. It will be useful to us.

Channel: I have and observed that you are quite busy, constantly collecting and then. digging and burying various acorns or I'm not sure what else but, I guess other foodstuff, but it seems to be primarily acorns in various parts of my property and the neighbors properties. 

Great Spirit of the Squirrel: That is accurate. Is there other? 

Channel: You have and enjoy playing with each other and chasing each other, running up and down the trees and along grounds. 

Great Spirit of the Squirrel: That is also accurate. We do enjoy companionship and that which is what you would call fun. Which also serves as we chase each other to strengthen our physical prowess, should those who we truly seek to get away from would find us a tantalizing morsel for their intent, yes? 

Channel: Yes, thank you. 

Great Spirit of the Squirrel: Is there other? 

Channel: I observe your, or members of your clan, seeking food from various resources, which has what looks to me like the berries on trees or the pine nuts from pinecones, and recently, the nuts and seeds being offered by our neighbors. 

Great Spirit of the Squirrel: All of this is accurate that we sit and simply watch the season turn without taking what we might in terms of your current vernacular, proactive action to fill our larders, if you will, for that point of clock time when there is less to fill our bellies or to support us in our flow. While we are not described as busy as the bee, we offer we are most prolific with it when it comes to the tending and the securing of what would be required is adequate resource for the season when much asleep, when much sleeps in the dormancy of winter. We do not sleep, yet we have and know ourselves well served to prepare for this cycle of lean opportunity, such that we may know ourselves able to sing the song of spring when it would arrive and greet it with open and joyful heart.

You may, and do we feel you have and are looking to understand what wisdom we seek to offer through these observations that you have made. And we would start with this one. Yes, it is useful and highly recommended. Those of your clan should not hoard resource, yet not to ignore the opportunities that are available for the gathering of adequate resource, the gathering of the nuts and seeds of possibilities and of potential with the growing of another season's repast. And not to simply, as some have and would be to play without also attending to the requirements of the oncoming season, where we would gently offer, there is a great winter, as you might understand it, that has and approaches with ever-increasing enthusiasm, blown by the winds of human activity. As these climatary shifts, and we do not only speak of physical winter, yes, but of a season where the great fruitings are rare, where the bloomings and the nourishment of that which calls forth the great flow of life and its replenishment is greatly diminished. And where those who have not looked about, passed about their own surroundings, and harvested, gathered, and squirreled away much that has and would sustain them for what you would call a rainy day, may find the bellies of your requirement filled only with the rumblings of empty larder.

We would further use that which is the behavior patterns in our physical expression of gathering and burying and marking in our manner for future claiming the nuts of your own thought forms, for there are many. And as one may understand oneself as both the acorn tree and that which has and would consume it, you have and drop the acorns of your thoughts all over the grounds of your property. We speak of the property of your mind, where your thought forms have and fall. You have not only thought which would be the acorn, but the mighty pinecones of great concerns and worries have and blanket that which is the soil of your intellect. There are so many, and while this may feel a blessing, they have and trip you a bit as you have and are unable to discern which way to look first or which thought form or concern you have and would claim and consume. Is it not useful to acknowledge their potential and to find a place where you may bury them a bit into the soils and to know that that they will be waiting for you when you truly hunger for their light.

We would offer this more plainly. Many of you have and are constantly shedding much that holds potential for great growth. And yet, you do not seek to clear a pathway for yourselves such that you may know yourselves well prepared for those points when that which clutters your mind may be stored until it is truly in requirement of reclamation and consumption for the well-being of your flow. We are not suggesting that you simply consider all that has fallen from the limbs of your intellect and gathers and piles up with the leaves of other concerns upon your lawns as worthy of completely disposing of. That would be less than discerning. And yet, to move away that which no longer serves your highest potential or that which you seek to cultivate into this manifest plane is useful, yes? You will observe, as we feel you have, that in a period where there are storms or inclement weather that approaches, have you not observed us claiming that which at one point might have been considered detritus and gathering it up to fill our nest, to add an additional layer of insulation from that which approaches as we perceive so?

For those of human, the manner in which one might take your thought forms, your worries, your concerns, your distractions, your memories, and your fears, and to place them where you will be able to retrieve them should they be that which is required in the soils of your neighborhood. This is achieved, not through the physical digging and marking, yet through that which is the act of a meditation, the act of burying your thought, your fear, your worry, your concern, and your distractions. Not in a manner of discarding all, but in a manner that has and offers you the blessing of a clear pathway, such that you may choose, rather than have it chosen for you, the direction of your own intent.

To honor that which is the clearing of a pathway for that which is your greater knowing, the knowing of your squirrel nature, one who has and is quite busy with the requirements of the day, and yet one who also honors the essential nature of the burying that has and is not required at the present moment, such that there is clear egress to that which is the destination of one’s intent, is quite useful. We are not suggesting that you have and bury all that has and has fallen from the tree of your awareness, yet is it not useful to consume what is required to fill the belly of one’s immediate need state and not to trip over, if you will, that which could be potential, which would serve most efficiently an upcoming opportunity of alignment in flow.

To put it simply, and we feel most have and grasp our little analogy, you have and are distracted to point of inaction by all that has and falls, those which have and are the leaves of past memories, those which have and are the pinecones and acorns of present thoughts and concerns, and that which has and is the branches of fear of what might be, and this gathers with great rapidity, offering a bit of a challenge to navigate your way through towards that which has and would be the destination of one’s deepest intent, a little bit of clearing and of claiming. We do not suggest one is not able to use a certain amount of the leaves of that which has past occurred to feather one’s nest, if you will. They may serve to keep you warm on a cold night. And is it not also useful to determine what has and serves the belly of your requirement in the point of great power, which is the present moment, rather than to simply expect that this great clutter without tending to your need state, now and in future points of your requirement, by securing and yet not tripping over what might feed your belly at a place when it has and sings a song of requirement. To call forth the power of that which has and allows a clearing away a bit, a releasing and a securing, and to know that your thought forms and worries and concerns, they will be there for you. They will not need to be that which has and obstructs a clear passage towards the requirements that have and are in high discernment of claiming in the present moment.

For you to claim your squirrel nature as we would offer is to claim the mantle of one who has and lives most joyfully in that which is the grace of a present embodied moment while also attending to preparation for what has in the season that is approaching, and one who also knows the power of releasing leaves of what no longer serves, yes? It is not the nature of flow for a tree of which we live in, yes, that holds on to its leaves and of course we speak of those who have the cycle of the leaf that has and releases and grows anew. Where there is statis, there is no continuance of flow. If you were to look at a deeply rooted one, an oak tree, or maple, perhaps, and you observe there was no growth, no bloom, no flowering, no leafing, and no releasing of that which has served its flow, such that there is room for the new cycle to commence, we would offer this would be a being that no longer holds the vitality of flow. And while we do not deny that greater cycle as that which has and is a part of all greater seasons, is it not useful to acknowledge that when the season of great and required shift in the relation to the oncoming circumstance has and is perhaps not that which walks hand-in-hand with the greatest wellbeing of your clan or any other.

There are required shifts in behavior that we invite your clan to claim. While you have grown quite used to and habitualized to certain measures of consumption, certain measures of – we mean no offense – despoiling and discharging of much that has and may be usefully employed. This is not what has and may serve the heartplace of those who have and seek to know themselves in a warm nest and with ample resource in the winter of this imbalance.

To claim that which is the power of stilling the mind from the thought that chase around like squirrels is to offer yourselves a great blessing that is yours for the choosing. And in this, the path of right relation is most clearly laid ahead and the path of reclamation, preservation, healing, and rebalancing also knows itself available and calling to those who seek to walk in the power of your unfolding light.

We offer you this blessing of the claiming of that which is a part of you that has and may be impowered through the reunion of its ability to clear a path of highest attunement and wellbeing, and that is to claim the aspect of your squirrel nature that has and acknowledges your thought forms and your requirements and places some safely within the soils to access when need arises. And yet, that does not suggest that one foregoes the pleasures of an embodied expression, that which is a play and joy of relation, the exploration that is so resonant, as we are curious and constantly exploring our environ and our relation with it. So too are you, yes? In this, that which is the attunement to the stilling and clearing of all that has fallen into the yard of your thought forms, your minds. You will find it most useful and far simpler than the struggle many of you will go through to rake away all that has fallen as the seasons turn in this physical plane.

It is this blessing, the blessing of the power, however counterintuitive it may feel, the part of the power of your squirrel nature is the power to willingly place what is and may be in requirement for your wellbeing out of sight, such that, and yet not forgotten, such that you have and may attend to the matters of the day without stumbling over what either has fallen from the leaves of your past or what falls presently in the thought-forms of your moment to moment expression. It is useful and it is a blessing of great power we offer to your clan.

Do not distress yourselves as you have and would seek to embrace that which is the meditative practice, which is a most powerful gateway, if you will, to your higher attunement. Simply gather your thought by thought from the ground where it has fallen, dig a little hole, place it in, and pull the earth of your present requirements over and, no, it has and waits. You will be able to unearth it when the need arises, and that will offer you a great and expanded flow.

It is this little blessing we sought to offer and we appreciate your willingness to receive the knock of our awareness in this season that has and would require the burying of so many thought forms, and the clearing up a bit of the leaves of past and the branches of fear that have and clutter the pathways of your intent.

We have and are grateful to serve this little blessing to those who have and would seek to know themselves in alignment with the season that has and approaches as you have and seek to know yourselves most able to weather these ships in a place of high discernment and grace of flow.

We have and would take our leave, as you are willing to grant it, daughter.

Channel: Blessings be, Great Spirit of the Squirrel. Thank you for the blessing of your attunement. I am honored to be in receivership therein.

Great Spirit of the Squirrel: Do not turn away from that which captures your awareness with yes, amusement, yes, curiosity, and then that other aspect where your truly feel there is more than simply the passing along the street of awareness of one member of the neighborhood with other. If we seek to stop and say hello, it is useful for you to have and stay a bit to receive that which is the song of our light, yes?

Channel: Yes, thank you. I apologize. I am very grateful for your companionship and your presence in physical form those members of your community. They are a delight.

Great Spirit of the Squirrel: We appreciate that, daughter. They are also most willing servants, and as you are aware they serve most adequately when that which is a true knock of our awareness is placed in the acorn of your flow.

It is complete. We have and take our leave, as you grant it so.
