INTRODUCTION
Welcome friends this is your host Tracy Shoolman with today’s episode of the Gaia translate podcast. Last week I drove into Boston for my annual check up. I had forgotten how many of the old brick buildings were covered in sprawling vines of Boston Ivy. It was a breezy afternoon and as I walked to my appointment and Boston Ivy rippled in green waves across the red brick buildings. Once inside I was directed into an exam room whose single window had a large vine of Boston Ivy climbing up the screen. No question it was time to channel the Great Spirit of Boston Ivy. A transcription of today’s channeling session is available in the show notes for this episode at gaiatranslate.com

The Great Spirit of the Boston Ivy
Great Spirit of the Boston Ivy: [audio begins at 0:00:09] We offer ourselves as worthy companions, sister, for are we not that which has and knows itself as well-habituated to the great forests of cement, or brick, or would, or other that you have and call forth in that which are your cities, that which are your communities where you know yourselves most thickly settled, yes? We have and would make formal introduction, we are that which has and is known by those of your clan as the Spirit of the Boston Ivy. The ivy in general, yes, but in particular the Spirit of the Boston Ivy that we have and knocked upon your awareness, and you have with most efficiency opened the gates of your will and this pleases us greatly, we would offer.
We have and are not unacquainted, although it is not that you had made a conscious awareness of, for were you not but a sapling when you also lived in a structure that was adorned by our light?
Channel: Welcome Great Spirit of the Boston Ivy. As you mentioned it, yes, that is accurate. I grew up in a building that was bedecked with your expression now that you bring it to my mind.
Great Spirit of the Boston Ivy: We are aware that those of your species when there is that which has and is so familiar, it has the potential of fading into that which is the background of your awareness. Is this not so?
Channel: That is accurate, yes.
Great Spirit of the Boston Ivy: And yet we offer, we are most willing companions and most efficient and we would feel served in a mutual and supportive manner, for while you have and provide through the structures that you create, that which would offer us the ladder upon which to climb, the trunk upon which to cling, such that we may avail ourselves of access to that which is the light that has and feeds us, that which is the song of the sun, yes? And in this as we have and seek to avail ourselves of that which is the vertical real estate, if you will, of those structures that you have and reside within that you have and function within in your various manner, are we not that which offers great beauty to the exterior?
Not that we do not understand the beauty inherent within the various architectures that you have called forth through your own will and intent, rather do we not offer a softness, a vitality, a wave of sorts when the winds have and tickle us, that we have and would offer, provide, although perhaps not in a manner that is deeply attuned to your awareness, yet nevertheless one that has and offers calming, that offers balance, that offers an embrace, such that you have and know yourselves steadied by our presence in these great forests of cement, of brick, of stone, of wood, and of other that you have and surround yourselves with, wherein that which has and is born [0:05:00]of the soil is at times more distant and therefore less able to offer a steadying and rejuvenating resource to those who have and reside within these great cities and other human communities.
We are most able and willing to claim the real estate that is, if you will, without tenant for much of your expression, such that we have and would insulate and cool a bit, as the heat of the summer and the warming seasons has and would increase the internal temperature of the various structures and [pause - 0:06:08] buildings that you have and reside within for the most part in these cities.
We further offer is it not timely and wise to reacquaint yourselves a bit with the relationship of all that has and is of the plant kingdom, as you have and would invite us in all of our various iteration and expression, back as welcome guests, as welcome neighbors, as welcome and powerful members of the community, such that you have and would know that which is the soil upon which you stand, held, rooted if you will, through that which is the claiming of our presence, as we hold strongly to that which has and might be known to wash away under current circumstance.
We further offer, as you have and are aware, there is much that pollutes and contaminates that which is the atmosphere at this point in our mutual history. Is it not wise, cousins, to have and to reacquaint yourselves with the benefits of those not simply of the vine, those of the tree, those of the shrub, those of the plant, those of the grasses who have and would support, stabilize and purify as we are able, that which has and knows itself in great imbalance.
You have and call and acknowledge the wisdom of this, for are you our institutions of higher learning as you would claim them, not understood as the “ivy leagues” and this is for you to bear witness to that we have and are most joy-filled to have and serve that which is the blooming of your own intellect, that which is the blooming of your greater nature of awareness with that which is the healing tune of our presence upon and holding and gracing these structures wherein all has and knows itself nurtured and called forth in mighty bloom.
We are a sea of grace in the deserts that have and are the great cities of your current expression, and we invite you to reintroduce us in greater measure, not simply in the individual Boston Ivy, although that is who has and was available to you in your perception, and so therefore offers as willing emissary to the awareness of the greater collective in this reattunement and rebalancing of our relation. To know yourselves as welcome [10:00] and welcoming to those of our own expression who have and seek to be as joy-filled neighbors who have and are willing to serve the blessing of our grace and rebalancing in concert with that of your own, rather than to be considered as pest, as that which is to be removed, and while we offer there are members of our species who have and may hold so firmly to that which is your own structure that we have and might cause a bit of, if you will, imbalance in that which is the facing, there are many of us who have and are not in the need of such a strong hold that we have and would cause that which would be any disrepair to that which is the structures, the constructs, the buildings that you have created to hold and house, to contain those great citadels of learning, those great places you have and hold deep and meaningful discourse, those structures that have and encase you as you have and would seek to be held in a gentle rest and to nourish yourselves and to grow and cultivate your family unit.
We would offer it is more than timely to embrace with great enthusiasm, as you are willing, the reintroduction of those of the plant kingdom in far greater measure than is currently in place, if you will, in that which you understand as your thickly settled communities, the cities, the towns, and other aspects of your own residency, as you have and are so willing to see the beauty in all that we have and offer in that which is unused real estate, if you will, is to understand the power of communal and collaborative co-existence. Is this not a joy-filled song to have and sing together?
We have and are most willing and invite you to harness our power, our grace, and our nature as deep and intimate companions in all aspects of your daily existence. You have and will find yourselves greatly soothed in your emotional framework, greatly blessed in that which is the rebalancing of much that has and is polluted, if you do not mind us offering, and tainted with discharge of your own waste product through that which is your manufacture, or that which is of your flesh. While we cannot claim that the increased presence in large measure of our expression and those of our cousins in the plant kingdom will mitigate in full all that has been leeched from the environment or habitat that you have and seek to remain within, nevertheless it is a place of hopeful beginnings, is it not? And there is no season that has and is more ripe for the planting of the seeds of this potential than that [15:00] which we have and stand in together at this place in our mutual history.
Invite us as you will, hold us close to your heart as we will and have and are more [stammer - 0:15:17] most willing to hold you, for we have known each other, jolly companions as that which has and wraps our light around that which is the structures, the domiciles, and the other that have and hold the individuate beings, and in truth the spirit of the institution or organization in our own as steadying, healing, and blessed light.
Do not underestimate the power of that which is the willing relationship between those of the plant kingdom and those of your own in this manner, as we have and seek to know ourselves served and in so serving who have and willingly serve those of your own species in manners that are little understood in truth at this point in our mutual history. Is it not a deep longing within the heartplace of many to have and to know themselves restored, rejuvenated and rebalanced a bit in the heartplace by the presence of that which is of the natural world.
We do not speak of all aspects, rather we are somewhat particular at this point, or have you not heard there are cultures who understand most wisely so the power of a forest bath and those who have and understand and embrace the power of resting by the great waters and those who have and seek to be rejuvenated as they have been through that which is the power of a natural expression of all that has and is of the plant kingdom.
We have and are most willing to have and serve and we would invite you to consider with great discernment whether or not it is within truth wise to continue to uproot many of our relations from that which is your neighborhood. You may find that while you have perhaps a little less square footage, if you will, upon which to create yet another structure, another building, another place to have and hold you within it, that even if it has and is a little smaller or takes up a little less area upon the breast of Gaia, simply enough to accommodate those members of plant kingdom who have and would companion, who have and would share the community with you in great service to that which is your own health and well-being, and of course in service to our own need state to have and know ourselves in a position to have and receive that which is the song of our own nutrient source, that of Grandfather Sun, that of deep and rich soil, that of the rains that have and call to us our own flourishment. Have you not been offered that there is that which is a loosening, an instability, if you will, to the soils that have and surround that which is these particular cities and other [20:00] structures that have and know themselves as, if you will, thickly settled points of community for your species?
Are you not wise to invite those of us back with great joy and gratitude, to have and surround you, to have and protect you, and to have and to soften, if you will, that point of interaction that has and occurs when there is nothing that stands between you and the greater forces that have and blow across this plane of existence at this place in our mutual history?
It is in truth not only wise, if you do not mind us offering, but of high discernment to have and to embrace the great light, the mastery and wisdom of the Gaia, and that which she has and calls forth in her own intent and construct such that all have and know themselves able to serve without being subsumed, able to support without being washed away, able to coexist in a manner that has and [pause - 0:21:52] calls forth the vitality, the expansion, and the blessing of our inter-relational flow.
We felt the leap of your heart as you bore witness to the waving song of our ivy when you walked in that which is the quarters of the great city that you have and know as neighbor to your own environ, and it was that which turned our head to your awareness, daughter, and we had and were grateful to take advantage of your attunement and to invite you to share our invitation to each and all of those of your species wherever they have and may know themselves in their own native habitat or environ on this, the breast of Gaia. For while we have and are native, if you will, to that which is the northeast as you understand it, of America the North, yet we have many, many cousins and other relatives who have and serve in similar fashion in a particular attunement that has and is designed to flourish in one or other particular place upon this geographic plane.
To turn away from the removal, the clearing away, the pulling off, the striping down of that which has and is by its nature of the plant kingdom, that which has and offers you the cleansing of the atmosphere, that which has and holds through our own nature the soils rooted within our grasp such that they have and do not wash away with that which is the storm of current circumstance. It is in truth that which has and, we feel, would be most mutually beneficial, would it not?
It is timely, brothers and sisters of the human clan to embrace as you are willing with great and open heart that which is our own joy-filled [25:00] and willing co-relation, co-habitation, and collaboration as together and with many of our own cousins and other members of the plant kingdom would seek to aid and assist in the mighty and required rebalancing of that which is the atmosphere, deeply wounded, and most contaminated of this plane of expression.
It is that we have and sought to serve and we have and offer prayers of profound gratitude for the blessing of the opening of the eyes of your heart place. We speak of the greater you that is the collective awareness as you have and with a tender and open heart, open the arms of your will to have and embrace again a long and valued companion, one who has and is most willing to work together to call forth that which is the required rebalancing and reattunement, such that all may know themselves held in the light of steadying and of beautiful flow.
We have and acknowledge that we are not often known to reach out and to connect our awareness in this manner with those of your collective, daughter, and yet we are most grateful for we have and hear that which is the great heaving sobs of the Gaia and those of our own relatives, all who have and are of the plant kingdom who know themselves so [pause - 0:27:33] desperately hoping to assist in that which is the required rebalancing of this field, and yet placed beneath that which is the hand of your own intent where [stammer - 0:27:56] which has and pulls up by the roots in great and powerful measure, so very many of those who have and are in truth the healing tonic that has and is required for consumption by all, such that all may know themselves healed, held, blessed, and steadied.
For those who have and bear witness to our physical out picturing in whatever form is native to that point of geography that they have and call their home, we have and invite you when you have and bear witness with the eyes of the flesh that which has and shares and has partnered as we have and know ourselves climbing and residing in connection with those structures that are born of your own will. May you have and appreciate and seek to cultivate and to grow this mutual beneficial relation with great efficiency and joy. We have and offer our will and we offer our skill in that which has and is the required rebalancing [30:00] to those who have and share this plane of existence and in service to the Gaia, and those who have and we hold dearly in our hearts of the human collective, for we have and admire all that you have and call forth. We simply seek to know ourselves in a place of joy-filled acceptance as worthy, valued, and respected members of the same community of life that we have and all are a part of, yes?
Channel: Thank you, Great Spirit of the Boston Ivy. Your song is beautiful and I am honored to be in receivership of it.
Great Spirit of the Boston Ivy: We appreciate that daughter. We have offered the blessing of our attunement, and our small wisdom, and our great desire upon the plate of your awareness and we appreciate your sharing this meal with all who have opened the eyes and ears of their heart, and joyfully and gratefully consumed. We have and offer prayers of deep and profound gratitude for the blessing of our enhanced and powerful collaboration and increased relation as beloved members of the same community of life force that has and is blessed to know itself born of the Gaia’s intent. So it has. So may it be.
It is sufficient, daughter. We appreciate your attunement. We have and would take our leave, as you have and are so willing to release us, yes?
Channel: Blessings be, Great Spirit of the Boston Ivy. Thank you for your wisdom and your light.
Great Spirit of the Boston Ivy: You are welcome, daughter. It is complete.
