The Great Spirit of the Cattail

Introduction: If you have ever wondered what it would be like to understand the thoughts and feelings of nature, welcome to the Gaia Translate Podcast. My name is Tracy Schoolman, and I am a nature mystic, a sound healer, and a channel. The Gaia Translate Podcast offers you direct access to channeled conversations with the sentient beings and spirits of the natural world. They are most grateful and excited to reach out to our human family and seek to know themselves held in the light of awareness and respect. Access to the transcript for this episode's channeling is available at GaiaTranslate.com.  

Greetings, friends, and welcome to Gaia Translate. The Great Spirit of the Cattail, their medicine and their wisdom, offers us a call to the awakening of the heart, such that we have and know ourselves as worthy and as powerful and as able to knock the glass of toxic waters from the hands of our children rather than to simply stand by and watch them drink. They're inviting a greater level of awareness into our heart places, which they feel we are most willing to rectify all that has and would poison not only what they seek to eat or drink, but all that we have and are dependent upon ourselves. The transcript is available in the show notes for this episode at GaiaTranslate.com.  

Great Spirit of the Cattail: There are few who have and are willing to serve in the manner that we do and have done. We are great benefactors for your species and have been and have been understood so for many seasons. We are that which is understood by many names, and yet we vibrate with a similar attunement to all. We are understood as bulrush, as cattail, and for some as cat o' nine tail in current vernacular. We have served as foodstuff, as medicinal, as that which has and offers the gentle touch of our flower to cushion those of your own species and yourselves in your clothing or your constructs that have and would gently carry your young or have and would offer that which is an opportunity to keep your young in a place of balance, protection, and cleanliness as we have and perceive it. 

While it is so, but at this particular point in our mutual history, we are less serving of your own species as foodstuff, as that which is material from which to weave those containers or other constructs that serve your day-to-day needs. Nevertheless, there are many of the natural world who still seek and hold close an intimate relation with us, as we have known ourselves to be in service to them, and as we serve the other, they have and serve our own continuance. Is this not the way of things?  

We have and would observe that one is only able to serve if one has and is constructed of serviceable elements, yes? In this, while in most points where we know ourselves in relation in the waters that have and border the wetlands across this plain, we are still able to call forth a new generation of our expression. 

There are those points where that which has been placed within the waters, that is, as we understand it, pollutant, contaminant, toxic, injections, or disposals, or that which has and is truth simply watered down as carried by what you understand as the rains, has and now requires a warning sign, if you will, that we no longer are that which we have and were, for we can only be and express that which we have consumed through the ingestion of what has and is of the soils, through the ingestion of what has and is of the waters that have and are our own foodstuff, that have and are in requirement for our own continuance and expansion.  

There are many of your waterways, of your ponds, of your marsh, of your wetland, that bear those little signs that say, do not eat the fish, do not drink the water, it has been contaminated, and yet there are no such signs that are available or even plausible for those other members of the community of life that have and share these waters, that have and seek to consume and to be consumed by other members of the community of ecological flow in one or another environment.  

And so, there are those such as the muskrat, such as other that have and know themselves as dependent in a manner upon certain plant or other resource, and as they consume what is and has only been available, they are consuming that which has and carries the toxic signature of the disposal of, or the runoff of, or the infusion or dumping of chemical compounds and other that have and despoil, contaminate, and toxify all that has and grows within, upon, and abutting these areas of flow. 

It is a great grief in our heart to know ourselves and those other members of the community of life in flow that are required for us and so many others as that which has and is toxic, not through any intent of our own, and when we have and bear witness, not only to the stresses that it has and puts on our own biological expression, but to that which is the damage, the wounding, in truth, the decimation of our fellow life forms, as we have and simply seek to know ourselves to be a part of the continuance of flow. It is a deep and painful wounding in our heart. We have enjoyed what we would identify as, at points, a profound relationship, and one which has and is acknowledged most gratefully, we would offer, by certain communities across the span of what you understand as clock time of humans, and certainly of other and now, when those of your own species and other life forms would seek to engage in long-established relations that have and served, if you will, in a symbiotic manner for many, the continuance and balance of our expression. 

We have and would shy away and would hide our head in shame, for we understand we are filled with toxin, and to consume us is to consume that which causes damage, and in truth, the destruction of much that knows itself and other forms of life. This is a painful truth, and one we sought to carry with us and to place upon the plate of awareness of those of your clan, daughter, who are so willing to be wakened, if you will, or called to awakening, of all that has and carries the consequence of this action, by perhaps a few, and yet, if you were to observe another being scooping up a cup of the waters that are contaminated and offering it to one of your own offspring without warning for them to drink and quench their thirst, how would you feel? What would you do? That is how we have and receive what has and occurs, and while we do not offer blame, we simply invite a greater, if you will, level of awareness into the heart places which we feel are most willing to rectify that which has and would poison not only all you have or would seek to drink or eat, but all you have or would know yourselves dependent upon, and that of your children and your children's children, as you have and are so willing to walk hand in hand in the light of awareness of this sad truth.  

There are many who have and are aware. There are those who feel there is nothing that they can or will do, in terms of claiming action, will-based and with intent, that will, if you will, be that which is the staying hand upon the broken dam of contamination that is generated by many. And we simply would invite you to know yourselves as worthy, as powerful, and as able to have and to knock the glass of toxic waters from the hand of your children, rather than to simply stand by and watch them drink. We would seek most deeply to return to the light of healthy and balanced flow with all members of our community, in all points of our physical expression across this plane, and so we have and turn our hopes in the direction of the light that shines within your own heart place and we encourage you that you have and are able and should not feel you cannot seek to remove that glass of toxic flow as it is lifted to the lips of those you have and love. Of course, we too will benefit, we do not deny it, and so will all who have and understand that there is only the environment they have and know that has and will either sustain them or cause that which is the cessation of their flow. 

We are greatly appreciative of your willingness to walk with us while we offer what we would call our medicine, also understood by those as our wisdom and that which is our open and willing heart to have and know ourselves returning to that which is a mutual and beneficial relation. We are not unwilling to serve as we have done or in other manners that have yet to be discovered. We simply invite you not to consume us or anything else that knows itself born in the waters of contaminant, of pollution, of toxic flow.  

Do not consider this a song without hope. We would not bother to sing it if there was no hope left to guide us in the direction of our intent. And too, we have and invite you to claim that hope as your own birthright, if you will, and to align it with that which is the great power of your intent. To remove, to knock away, and to reclaim, to cleanse, purify, and if nothing else, to cease to offer contaminant again and again into that which is a source of life for so many, including we would offer your own species, yes?  

We feel we have been more than plain and we have and would take our leave as our heart is heavy with grief and also with that which is the light of hope for that which is a new era, a new beginning where we re-know ourselves as great, respectful, and welcoming members of this small community of life that has and flows across this plane. 

It is complete, daughter. We appreciate your open and willing heart. We have and take our leave as you have and are so willing to grant it.
