The Great Spirit of Ivy

.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 Shoolman, 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. This is your host, Tracy Shoolman, with a new episode of Gaia Translate. I was guided to channel the Great Spirit of Ivy when I was starting to weed some overgrowth around the stairs that lead down to my pond, when my next-door neighbor rushed on over and really wanted to show me where this partially hidden patches of poison ivy were hiding in the brush near my stairs, and reminded me, “leaves of three, let them be.” At that point, I knew it was time to channel the Great Spirit of the Poison Ivy, but it turns out it was actually the larger over spirit of the Spirit of Ivy who has and is stepping forward with some wisdom and high attunement for our field. A transcript is available in the show notes for this episode at GaiaTranslate.com.  

Great Spirit of the Ivy: I am the Spirit of the Ivy, daughter. I will indulge you as you have and sought my attunement. We are aware that you have sought to reach out to that which is an aspect of my light, that which you call the poison ivy. It is a bit amusing to us, as there are several that have and would cause a reaction or rash upon the skin of your species, and yet that is how you have and refer to this particular child of my expression. 

We have and would serve you a slightly larger purview, if you will, from that which is the Ivy, the Spirit of the Ivy. What is it you understand that is a part of our own nature that you have and are aware of, daughter?  

Channel: Ivies have and are spreading across the grounds and also up onto objects like fences or trees or anything that is vertical.  

Great Spirit of the Ivy: Those are accurate observations, and there is much else that we have and would serve that has not been identified by you as yet. Are we not that which has and knows itself, while apparently unable to move, for our roots have and remain in one place, yet through our will and our intent we know ourselves most able to climb in far greater capacity than even those of the most nimble of your own species? Is this not so?  

Channel: I hadn't thought of it that way, but yes, it is.  

Great Spirit of the Ivy: And why is it you feel we have and would seek to climb and to know ourselves as that which has and embraces the life force of another with our own? We allow you the hazard of a guess and will not judge if you are incorrect.  

Channel: Thank you. Seeking light is what I would guess.  

Great Spirit of the Ivy: That is not inaccurate, daughter. We have and are also that which enjoys companionship. And in that manner, as we have and companion other beings, other forms, we have and know ourselves well entertained in truth. It may not be that which you have and are able to perceive, and yet there are many ivies that have and know themselves quite attuned to the nature of another being. It is so, as you have and are perceiving within your thought forms, that there are those ivies or other that have and, if you will, would push the head down beneath the waves of that life force that we have and would seek to leverage ourselves up upon in order to access, as you have offered, greater light and the nutrients that are found therein. 

And that is not the nature of all I would offer, much as there are those of your own species who have and might seek to use another being as a stepstool for their own intent or desire. And in that, we would offer, there are a few like that, and there are many who would never consider that which has and would be the willing, if you will, abuse of another living creature in order to serve their own need state. And we offer that there is a mutual relation that is not made public, if you will, between those who are the ivies and those who have and would host them. 

And it is with most relations, there are some who host more or less willingly and some who host with great joy and gratitude for that which has and is our mutual attunement. You had sought, daughter, to inquire about that which is the poison ivy, and there are others who have and are imbued with this particular form of protection. How do you understand that which is the poison ivy, daughter?  

Channel: I understand that that which causes the irritation or blistering or rash on some humans, say, form of protection or defense, that is part of the nature of the poison ivy. 

Great Spirit of the Ivy: That is accurate, daughter. And what have you observed?  

Channel: I guess I've learned that if you don't touch it, it will not harm you.  

Great Spirit of the Ivy: That is essential to the nature, for there is no malintent in truth to that which is the poison ivy or other that has and carries the similar constituent aspects of their nature. It is simply a form of defense, for there is no manner that has and is able to physically push away or resist that which has and would seek to challenge the life force of the particular vine or ivy that has and is being, if you will, trespassed upon in some aspect or manner. And that is simply a form of protection that has and is a blessing, is it not? For we have and would offer, we are not that which has and would seek to wound or harm, to have and be the aggressor in those aspects.  

We do not deny that there are points in our own history where we are a bit overzealous, if you will, in the climbing up or upon or in and through another being such as tree. And in that case, there may be a diminishment of the life force of the host being. And that is not our intent. It does not serve in truth for us to, if you will, choke out the life force of that which we have chosen to companion with yes? For it is that which we have and avail ourselves of that allows us to continue in our own expression of flow.  

Channel: Yes. Thank you. That makes sense.  

 
Great Spirit of the Ivy: We further offer that it is, if you will, that which has and may be known in another variation by those of your own species. For you have and are often ones who respond with a physical reaction to that which you perceive as threat to your physical form. And yet we offer there are other forms of protection, or if you will, poison that you have and offer most frequently and, if not willingly, simply as that which has and is a part of your own nature, yes?  

We speak of when you have and feel yourselves emotionally threatened or attacked in some manner. And is it not simply that which has and you respond with that which would be the poison intent, the poisoned word, the poisoned response, which has and wounds, which has and stings and burns and which has and calls forth that which energetically speaking has and creates that which is a imprint upon the energetic field of another. 

And it is that which as you each all have and we feel most are aware, there can be that which is a simple touch that has and creates the reaction that one has and would release in the desire to protect or in truth, wound another through one's poison of word or intent that has and would remain far longer than that which was the point of contact. And in truth, in some aspects that very point of contact and the response has and would fester, if you will, spread, if you will, and create distress for many, many clock hours or in truth even seasons in the heart place of those of your own species. Can you understand the analogy we have and would serve to you in a manner of illustrating that there are particular aspects of our own unique characteristics that while we may not manifest them in the same way, nevertheless, may have very similar consequence?  

Channel: Yes, thank you. It is accurate. And I had never understood it so. 

Great Spirit of the Ivy: There are few who have and understand it so, daughter, and that is part of what we have come to offer. For while you have and have learned a bit of respect and wariness around those of our nature, that is as it needs to be. For we have and through our nature are simply designed to have and protect ourselves and our life force through that which is negative consequence to those who have and would seek to disrupt, to consume, to disturb or in truth to extinguish our life force through removal or other. We are a peaceable sort. We do not seek to wound. We are not running out with great armies and seeking to slay or impregnate those with our poisons in that which is their epidermis, yes, and yet we have and would offer we are perceived as so. We are perceived as that which is, if you will, of malintent. It is not our nature. 

And we have and would offer there are those of your own nature who have and do seek to wound with the word or the physical blow. And that is a matter of intent, is it not? We offer that there is that which is the high perception of source, of that which is called forth through the physical manifestation or the energetic emotional manifestation of that which would be spear or barb through word, intent and deed that has and is quite common to your species. 

And is it not timely, cousins, to have and become a bit more, if you will, vibrationally aware of that which has and is a part of your own nature? We do not deny that one is as one is through one's nature. We simply offer that while you have and may perceive others as that which has and holds malintent, that is not always the case. In this situation, it is simply a matter of protecting our own life force, our own expression in the manner we have been blessed to. 

And as you have and seek wide berth, as you have and seek not to put your hand against the flesh of our expression, all has and is peaceful, yes? All has and is that which is a coexistence where we have and know ourselves in a joy-filled, balanced relation. We are not unaware that there are times when we have and would seek to be closer neighbor than you have or might desire. And it is understood that at that point, as you have and seek to claim your own boundaries, that has and may result in the diminishment in a particular environment of that which is those of our nature or the nature of a vine that has and carries within it this form of protection, yes? 

Channel: Yes, thank you.  

Great Spirit of the Ivy: We do not seek to insult. We simply seek to offer you that which is the perspective that many, many other beings have and hold in their own fields when they have and perceive those of the human species. And that is as one who has and may know oneself as great and open-hearted, great and deep compassionate beings with great wisdom and finesse of manifestation into that which is the form that you have and would seek to call forth through your intent. And these are great and admired qualities, yes? However, there is also that which has and is your nature, not simply to react with that which has and is your own native protection or defense mechanism that you have been imbued with, such as that which has and would block or stop or seek to remove that which would threaten you in a physical manner. 

You also have and may know yourselves with that which is the tool or the nature to have and seek to wound, to harm, and in truth to defend using other than that which is your physical expression in and through that which is the word that carries the intent to do so, that has and is the act that carries the intent to do so, that has and is the intent, that has and is that which is, if you will, the bow that has and pulls back the arrow of your action, your intention, in a manner that has and would deliver it. And we offer, there are those of you who are expert marksmen, it is not a judgment, if you will, of good or bad. It is simply an observation that we have and are aware of, for we have and feel that there is much that is weighed on either this or that side of the coin of judgment, this is good, this behaves in this manner and therefore it is bad, this has and is evil or carries negative intent and we would offer it is timely in truth for those of your species to discern between that which is the nature of a being that has and is imbued with to protect or defend itself and to continue in its honored expression in a life form from that which has and is sent through malintent. Can you taste the difference, daughter?  

Channel: Yes, I can, deeply.  

Great Spirit of the Ivy: And it is simply that we had and would offer, for we offer that even within your own species you have and would judge through that which is the old labeling that has and would confuse in truth, would cover or would mask the nature of a being, one of your own in truth, a, if you will, subspecies of human. We offer this not to suggest any are “sub” in any way other than there are many varieties of human in terms of how you have and would gather yourselves in terms of your own cultures, your own variations, those particular environments you have adapted to such as we have and it is that that I have and would seek to offer as the blessing of wisdom upon the plate of your consumption as you have and are so willing to receive it and to offer it, daughter, to those who have and are of your collective, for we have and have known ourselves willing and able neighbors and yet we have and would offer this particular distortion for the clarity of your own attunement. 

Channel: Thank you, Great Spirit of the Ivies, for your wisdom and your observations of those perhaps less than claimed or understood aspects of our own nature as born through that which is our intent.  

Great Spirit of the Ivy: You are welcome, daughter. We see you have and are willing to consume that which we have placed upon your plate. We have and would simply offer as a final morsel, if you will, that all are well served to honor, to respect and to acknowledge that which is the discernment between a being's nature for its own self-continuance and the intent or will behind that which is in some way a wounding or, if you will, damaging intent, yes?  

Channel: Yes, thank you.  

Great Spirit of the Ivy: That is all we sought to serve. As you have invoked our awareness, we thought it would be of value to bring that which would be, if you will, a worthy dish to set upon that which is the plate of the awareness of those of the human family, such that we have and as we have and would know ourselves in continuance in this particular blessing of a physical out-picturing, we would know ourselves as respectful and honoring neighbors and ones who have and do not seek to judge that as good or bad simply because it has and is an integral part of another life-form's nature.  

We are grateful for your awareness and attunement to our light and we have and feel it is sufficient and would seek to take our leave as you have and are so willing to grant it.  

Channel: I have and I am. Thank you so much, Great Spirit of the Ivies, who have bestowed deep wisdom and I have and receive it with gratitude. Blessings be. 

Great Spirit of the Ivy: And to you, daughter, and all of your human family. We have and take our leave.
