INTRODUCTION

TRANSCRIPT

Great Spirit of the Woodpecker: As we have offered, if we were to consume your thoughts, rather than that which has and would be in this environment, those of the insect kingdom, we would certainly know ourselves well fed. For they scurry about, around and within the branches of your knowing, wherein we seek to perch. We have and are that which has offered you the grace of our awareness over the past several cycles of the day. And yet we understood it was a bit for you to hear the singular knock when so many of the winged ones have and avail themselves of your hospitality, yes?

Channel: Greetings and welcome, Great Spirit of the Woodpecker. I am honored to be in receivership of your light. 

Great Spirit of the Woodpecker: That's a bit better, daughter. We do not deny it. You wonder, do we seek to sing for your ears alone? Do we seek to serve the greater collective? We have and step forward as that which has and would bless your light, as well as that of your fellows.

What have you observed that has and is our nature that you peck into the bark of trees to open up an entrance to seek what has and rests within it in a manner that is accurate. And what is it we seek to find within that is not, if you will, so apparent from the external expression of a thing? Those who live within it, the insects that you have and would consume, there are points where that which has and is in a state of decay, while it may appear dead or of little use to those of your clan, in your great desire to sweep away all that has and does not appear to be in the season of its highest bloom.

We would invite this attunement and awareness for your species. That which has and appears from your perspective to be dead or dying, rotting or in one or another point of the cycle of return should not be equated with that which has and is not a thriving community of life that has and resides within. There is much that has taken from our expression, our resource, partially in service to the clearing away of all that has and would either be claimed and repurposed for the construct of your structures, buildings, homes, and residences, or simply as an aspect of that which has and would appear to you unpleasant to the eye, would appear to you of having served its useful purpose in a physical form and therefore, having no other reason to remain in its physical presence, such as that which appears to be the trunk of a tree that no longer throbs with the flow of life as it would know itself in expression.

We are not unwilling, nor in truth are we able to call a halt to that which appears to be an ever-hungry desire for expansion and the claiming of landmass, of forest, and of all manner of tree, or deeply rooted ones, as we know them. That which has and is of tree, is that which has and serves, not only as resource for our food stuff … you may consider it in a manner where we go to shop, where we go to hunt, where we go when we seek to nourish our flesh, and yet so much of that which has the outward appearance of a being, if you will, simply an aspect of detritus across the landscape, one that your species in its hurried nature seeks to remove, as you feel there is simply inefficiency upon the part of the greater ecosystem of flow that you have and participate within.

We are not seeking that all that have and are, that which is the shifting of the flow of life force out of a tree such that all that remains appears to be a dead hull and that which has and is as eyesore or simply inefficiently removed from this or that particular environ. And we would seek to invoke the blessing of the grace of your clan. There are many, many members of the community of the various ecologies, the systems, wherein that which has and knows itself in service through its decay, as host and home, because it has and offers opportunity to those who are not able to gain access in its season of flow as a deeply rooted one or tree. This should not be confused with lack of life and service of season of great usefulness and, if you will, required resource for those of our clan. And all we seek to consume, who have and know this environment, both as resource for their own bellies, as home and shelter and in service to the season of the deconstruction of which we both are a part.

That which is the spirit, the energy of the great light of this planet, is wise beyond measure. It may be that which has and is more challenging to perceive from those who are as short-lived as you and we are in our physical expression. And yet that which has and is the doubting of wisdom in the manner in which all has and flows in this plane is the gift we seek to extract from the field, or if you will, the interior of your own understanding as a clan. There is not that has or is wasted when it is allowed to follow along in its natural flow of deconstruction, reclamation, and rebirthing. Each season knows the song of its vitality in various expression.

What is confusing we feel for your clan is so often you do not seek to hunt within that which appears as this or that in its exterior presentation. And we would offer you are beginning to experience the great power and usefulness of taking a moment or two, a year or so, to work your way into that which holds a particular external appearance and therefore may be misunderstood, not to hold other secrets or from our understanding, great resource within. Your clan has a great reputation for the prowess of its consumption, and yet you are one, and we do not mean disrespect, we are simply seeking to offer the wisdom that we have and hold in our field, the blessing of the claiming of the mantle of your woodpecker nature, one that has and listens a bit with the ears of the heart, one that has and inquires what may lie within, what has and what treasures, what great resource has and may be available, has and may be claimed, has and may be harvested when one has and serves oneself the blessing of greater exploration into that which appears to be of little use or of value as it is measured by those designs of your own inculturation.

We appreciate that your clan has and is awakening, in great waves, and this is a joy-filled receivership for many, as you have and seek to take a second glance at so much that you have and would discard, once you have consumed a bit of this or that, once that which is the flower or bloom of that which has and pleases the eye, has and fades. So often there is so much that may not attract with such drama, and yet, that in truth holds great nourishment and great value. If not only for your own need-state has an ever-expanding clan or species in flow, yet for the need-state of many for those who seek to sit at the knee of the greatest wisdom. We would suggest, as we feel there are many who have and are awakening to this resource that one has and sits at the knee of what you call nature. Its systems, its processes, its very purposeful design. 

We have and would bestow upon you each and all who seek to claim it, the mantle of the woodpecker, and in so doing, as you have and will claim this, you will be that which no longer judges, if you will, that which appears to be expressed as without use or value, as you have understood it so. And to revisit, to explore with a bit more patience and openness of heart and expectation for all have and are in constant flow however it may appear there is no mistake there is nothing that has or is forgotten or abandoned that does not hold great purpose, great or greater than that which would appear to you as the season of its height of flow.

We are not suggesting that those of the deeply-rooted ones, the trees, are only of use when they have known their season of, if you will, vitality in this plane. We simply offer that they serve and serve and serve through their creation, through their blooming and sprouting through their retreat and eventual reclamation. And even through that which has and is the merest shadow of what once was a mighty song of this or that species of tree. There are seasons, and they are that which are blessings, for there are many who perceive the only season of worth is the season of summer, wherein the weather is warm and growing of crop or other resource has and is quite apparent and very quick in its manifestation. And yet without adequate resource of that which has been reclaimed and returned to the soil in physical form and of potential to serve in its component elements as nutrient, as substrate, as that which has and knows itself anew, as that which contributes to a varying and ever-changing expression of the energy of life in flow.

The blessing of wisdom we seek to serve upon your species is the wisdom of one who seeks to drum with their respect upon that which is the great wisdom of nature, and to release from the distortion that what one has and is able or has been up to this point in your own evolution, to perceive is understood only. From that which is the compass point, if you will, of your own immediate need state, or that which has and is the low-hanging fruit that you perceive to be the entirety of the value or use of any physical expression in this plane. 

We offer that which you have and understand as the nature of woodpecker, as that which has and seeks to know and to drill deeply and with great intent, through the external structure of an object, to find that which has and resides within, as that which you have and would be well-served to apply, not only to those physical objects of the natural world that have and are a part of the great canvas of life in flow in this plane, yet to have and claim at your woodpecker nature as those who have and seek to drill, seek to explore and perhaps to reap the benefit of the deep knowing and revealing of what has and rests within your own systems, the great trees of your constructs, your beliefs, your cultural patternings, and so forth. For there is much that has and is held within, and there is also wisdom and great resource to be claimed in that which you have considered past its season in decay and decline.

There may be that which grows within old-knowing, season's past of wisdom, that which has and may be understood as the patternings of indigenous clans who have and honor all that has and rests within that which is the heart of interconnected flow. We are not suggesting that all of your discarded belief systems or wisdom teachings have as much to reap from within them as any other. However, prior to your full disposal, however, however old you may perceive that which is the trunk of a dead tree of wisdom in the field of your history, be it the trees that have and would appear to have decayed of your own civilizations, those of the Egyptian, those of the Mayan, and those of all other cultures and those wisdom keepers who have and served to be the woodpecker spirits of their clans, those who peck and peck and peck upon the appearance of things, how things work, what has and is the truth behind the facade, yes, and the facade or the external expression has its truth in this dimension and yet there is so much more that lies within. One may also seek to turn your woodpecker nature upon that which is the great trunk of your own heart, not in a manner to wound it, simply in a manner to seek access or egress to the great flow of wisdom that has and thrives within. 

It is the blessing of the woodpecker nature and the small request to have and honor as you are willing, that which is the lifting of the hand of the will of many in the careless removal of what appears to be decaying tree, or root decaying, or no longer fertile expression of the trees and of all other life in flow, for there is nothing that has and knows itself as an observer to that which is the biology of this plane. And there is no point In the process of bloom and fade that is less useful than any other. In this, we feel we offer the greatest blessing of our flow. It is timely, we would observe, to hold and stay the hand of your actions before you would remove or destroy various aspects of this or that environment without clear and deep understanding of what has and may be garnered when you have and look within.

There are those of your clan who have and study such things, who are awakening with greater and greater wisdom in this manner, and to those who are your scientists, whatever field they may endeavor to explore, to turn their awareness to the wisdom keepers that you may perceive of as simple or uneducated or lacking the ability to prove through scientific measure that which they have and have carried across many generations within the great resource of their own knowing. We speak of ancestral knowledge. There is much that was served to your clan through a great many seasons of blessing and of loss. Is it not wise to gather up all that has and may be collected and place it into the collective basket of wisdom and resource. For there is much that has and serves you that has and is cast aside as useless, or as born from that point wherein it is not as shiny and new as those who stand here at this tiny place of life flow may understand to be as useful or as nutritious as that which they have and peer in and through, the devices you hold that magnify, that separate, that analyze, that justify certain chemical reactions of flow. A final suggestion that we would add upon this feast of wisdom we have served you is that which has and would sing the song, there is nothing that has and exists, that has and decays, that has and transforms, that has and is reborn that is not in high service, not only in the period of their blushing youth, but in every single phase of their expression.

We would gently observe that in current clock time, your civilization as a whole has chosen to discard your elderly as that which has less use as that which because it does not shine with the strength of few seasons, may not hold within it incredible flow of wisdom bound. We understand this is not a universal distortion, for there are pockets of your societal constructs that honor and hold deep respect for that which has and carries great wisdom within it, although its external expression may be that which appears to be almost inert or lacking in any flow. This is great wisdom. You are guided as you are willing to receive it and to see with new eyes all that appears to be in this or that point of decay and to revisit it and to deeply know it holds within it a treasure that is worth mining. 

It is this blessing, this attunement, and this grace of our nature. We have sought to serve upon the plate of awareness of your clan, daughter, and of your own, and so we have, and would seek our leave, for there are others who seek to attune their light with our own, yes? 

Channel: I offer a prayer of deep and profound gratitude to you, Great Spirit of the Woodpecker. Thank you for your persistence knocking at the door of my will and awareness. I am grateful. And I receive the blessing of your grace with profound gratitude and joy. Thank you. 

Great Spirit of the Woodpecker: You are welcome. We have and would offer there is insufficient resource to meet the need state of many of your clan and therefore, as you have and are willing, we would be joy-filled to know you have and offer it in a matter of efficiency for the consumption of your clan. 

Channel: I have and will, blessings be. 

Great Spirit of the Woodpecker: And to you, daughter. It is complete.
