INTRODUCTION

Welcome friends this is your host Tracy Shoolman with today’s episode of Gaia Translate. I was guided to channel the Great Spirit of the Grouse while driving  in Vermont a few weeks back We spotted what I discovered later was a  ruffled Grouse standing absolutely still in the middle of the road. As we slowed to a stop several yards away the Grouse tentatively raised one leg paused for several seconds and placed it down only to repeat this slow motion ambulation over and over.

Having never seen a Grouse in person I wasn’t sure if something was seriously amiss.  Just as we were about to get out of the car to shoo the Grouse the rest of the way across the road it jutted its head like a runner on a starting line propelling itself across the final stretch of road with remarkable speed and agility. The stark contrast between its’ locomotion took me a bit by surprise.

TRANSCRIPT

Great Spirit of the Grouse: We have and greet you, daughter. We are that which has and vibrates with the Great Spirit of the Grouse. We appreciate your willingness to search a bit until you had and landed upon that which has and is as your species categorized us as Grouse, such that you receive the attuned grace of our flow.

We are aware that we are not that which you have and are commonly in exchange with in your physical form, and nor, we would observe, are many others, even those who have and live in the environs that we have and reside within. As you are willing, we would appreciate that which is your descriptive of our little engagement in the physical plane as it serves as a metaphor of sorts, yes?

Channel: Greetings and welcome, Great Spirit of the Grouse. You are accurate. I had never, as I recall, been in the physical presence of one of your clan.

Great Spirit of the Grouse: We do not seek to disagree. And what was it you had and observed? As you are willing, daughter, as we have offered, it would be a boon to us, your descriptive.

Channel: Thank you, Great Spirit of the Grouse. We were driving on the road, and all of a sudden, we saw one of your clan frozen in the road on the other side of the road from where I was driving with my friends. And you weren't moving, and so we pulled to a stop, waiting for you to cross in front of us, onto the other side and into the woods. And you just stood there. And then a car came in the other direction, and we flagged it down to stop it. And it also stood there. And you still stood still. And very slowly, as if you were in slow motion, or as if that being was in slow motion, it lifted its leg and slowly placed it down. Lifted its other leg and slowly placed it down. Having never perceived one of your physical form, I was unaware that there was any other way you could move.

Great Spirit of the Grouse: That is accurate, daughter. 

Channel: As we had continued to wait, I acknowledge I was getting impatient and thought it might be useful to get out of the car and scoot you across the road a bit. And yet, once you had reached the point of the halfway mark, all of a sudden, you leaned forward, and you went with such speed and dashed into the bushes on the other side. I was quite surprised, honestly, that you had that speed within you, as you were going so slowly.

Great Spirit of the Grouse: And what is it your friend had and described as she perceived this from our perspective?

Channel: Ah, my friend observed that it was as though you were being faced with two dragons on either side, and you were kind of paralyzed in indecision.

Great Spirit of the Grouse: That is accurate. And yet, once we had and felt it was, if you will, prudent to increase our speed, what did you observe?

Channel: As I've offered, you were really fast. You just tucked your head down and ran off of the road.

Great Spirit of the Grouse: And what does that tell you about the nature of a being who, when faced with great danger, has and freezes in position rather than taking swift action in service to their own well-being?

Channel: I guess, partially, it tells me that there was some useful caution in not seeking to run right in front of moving vehicles. And then, once you had determined that they weren't going to run you over, you then completed your crossing of the road very efficiently.

Great Spirit of the Grouse: It is, for the most part, accurate. And we would offer this as a useful outpicturing, as we perceive it, of the behavior of your clan. At this, wherein the great dragons of that which has and would mow your species down quite efficiently have and face you, and that which is the slow or perhaps lacking therein pace of your forward progress may or may not serve you when that which has and becomes impatient no longer seeks to be held in abeyance when you have and would dawdle about a bit in the crossing. Of course, we speak of the great climate that you have perceived as waiting until you are willing to step a bit more, to consider, to perhaps take another step in the direction of your requirement. And yet, even one such as you grew impatient. And while we understand you are not seeking to mow us down, yet you were motivated a bit, we feel, to shoo us along. 

And so, we would seek to take that place, that which was your desire to shoo along that which has and would remain in stasis, perhaps longer than would suit, and to shoo it along. And so, we have and do and offer that we step forward with great encouragement to claim that which is the aspect of your Grouse nature that has and, when required, knows itself able to traverse across the road of requirement with great speed of flow.

It is not a perfect metaphor or analogy, if you prefer, and yet we felt that the energy of the great and, if you will, painstakingly slow progress that you perceived was so slow you were not sure if there was something not quite right with our energy field as we had and expressed it. This is not accurate?

Channel: It is completely accurate. Although not knowing your nature, I wasn't sure.

Great Spirit of the Grouse: We accept that. And now we have and would offer those of your human species have certainly taken their time in the assessment, in the analysis, and the judgment of that which has and approaches, and that which has and could cause great harm. And yet, is there not a point where the speedy completion of what is required for your own well-being is, in truth, highest discernment of right action, yes?

Channel: Yes. Thank you, Great Spirit of the Grouse. 

Great Spirit of the Grouse: We have known ourselves as that which has filled your bellies, not only as nourishment or foodstuff, yet that which, in truth, has filled the bellies of your entertainment simply in the joy of hunting, whether or not it was that which was required as necessity for the well-being of your family or your young. We are grateful, not for the most part that season has abated sufficiently that it has allowed us the opportunity to repopulate a bit where we once had been, if you will, vast communities of our own expression in concert with other energies of flow.

We are not immune to that which has and grows impatient and seeks to simply continue, whether or not those of your or our clan remain in the stasis of our flow. And so we invite you to claim that aspect not only of your Grouse nature, which has, and perhaps to a point of extremity, assesses the present possibilities, and yet, at a point, fully claims that which is required in terms of speedy action of willing intent. And while we would expand this analogy, perhaps beyond its boundaries, we would offer that there is the road which has and narrows, wherein you have and will be offered the opportunity – we speak of your collective daughter – to increase your speed with great intent and to cross into that which is great choosing of highest discernment of right action. For are you not both the grouse and the vehicle that has and would easily destroy you? Are you not both the one that has and sits behind the wheel and the one that has and seeks to continue  while you have and put your foot on the accelerator rather than the brake of your intent.

It is a simple analogy, and yet it is one we felt it would be remiss of us not to offer. There is no season like the present. Much as if you had and found us still pondering in the middle of the road after an hour or two, a day or two, a season or many had passed, we feel even you would be compelled to continue on your forward trajectory as it would be your nature not to harm, yet to flow, yes?

Channel: Yes, thank you, Great Spirit of the Grouse. It is a very clear analogy. Thank you.

Great Spirit of the Grouse: Do not doubt that which is the claiming of the nature or the mantle, if you will, of our energy field. For while we were a bit dramatic, we don't deny we have and are able to move with great speed when it has and truly serves what we perceive of as the well-being of our continuance in flow. You have blessings of intellect, of wherewithal, of ingenuity, and, in truth, adaptability that is the envy of many as an energy of observation. Your clan has known itself quite able to adapt with great speed and efficiency of flow when it is required, and we would offer it is required. And it is that which you hold within your fields. We simply seek to amplify its light, such that all those of your own clan and so many other life forms may know themselves to be at the other side of the road of this climate imbalance, this great shift that is barreling down and without, in truth, the brakes being applied. For is it not your will that applies them?

If we were to offer a rather unpleasant example, perhaps it was a child, a young one. It may not be known to you, or it may be, who also stood in the road and was frozen and, in truth, unable to retreat, for that is as it is in a linear dimension, and only able to go forward. As such, we feel you will appreciate this small example in a manner that resonates deeply in your heart. You are not aware of what has and was behind me for that energy of my expression that might keep one such as myself from returning. Or perhaps it was what lay before me that I was aware of. Perhaps there was a nest, and I had sought to nourish myself a bit as I had and returned to sit upon the nest of the eggs of my potential for continuance. 

And so, we invite you to join us and to seek with great speed of will to take your seat as a member who would brood the next generation of your clan. And had it been that this little scenario had played out otherwise, one can only imagine what an untended nest of the next generation would have and know itself most quickly reclaimed by that whose nature it is to feed themselves under the circumstance of opportunity, yes?

Channel: Yes, thank you, Great Spirit of the Grouse. 

Great Spirit of the Grouse: We sing a song of high guidance and the blessing to claim the full complement, if you will, that which is both the nature to proceed with caution and the complement to then continue with surprising alacrity and speed of will in flow. 

It is this little blessing and this large invitation, for you have already claimed a part, and we invite you to claim the full attunement with one who is the energy field of grouse, that which has and remains in the balance of prudence and the prudence of timely right action when circumstances have and demanded so.

It is complete. It is this little offering we felt it would be remiss of us not to offer, as we too have and seek to know those who have and are and would carry on our lineage in a place of opportunity to know themselves in flow. As you have and are willing, we have and would take our leave, and we would be grateful for you to share this little story with those of your clan. In truth, there is no longer the opportunity to stand in the middle of the road of oncoming circumstance and know oneself ever able to arrive safely at the other side of a rebalanced flow.

It is complete. We are grateful for your receivership, and we have and will continue our own journey of flow.

Channel: Blessings be, Great Spirit of the Grouse. Thank you for your light.

Great Spirit of the Grouse: You are welcome, daughter. We feel this is a meal that has and would fill the bellies of requirement most efficiently, those of your clan. And so, we take our leave.
