The Great Spirit of the Pomegranate
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.
Welcome, friends. This is your host, Tracy Shoolman, bringing you today's episode of Gaia Translate. One of my favorite fruits as a child was the Pomegranate. And every season, I would look forward to having a Pomegranate and opening up the fruit and just admiring its gorgeous ruby-hued seeds, like little jewels all in a row and then having the fun of popping them into my mouth where they burst open with this sweet, tart, tangy flavor. Well, as you've guessed, today's podcast features the delicious fruits of high wisdom and blessings from the Great Spirit of the Pomegranate. A transcript is available in the show notes for this episode at GaiaTranslate.com.
Great Spirit of the Pomegranate: We greet you, daughter. We are that which holds the vibratory field, the Great Spirit of Pomegranate, as we are known of late. We are aware that you delighted when the season was upon you in your youth and childhood to consume that which was the tart and sweet fruits of our expression.
Channel: Greetings and welcome, Great Spirit of the Pomegranate. That is accurate. I found you most delicious and beautiful.
Great Spirit of the Pomegranate: We appreciate that and we do not take offense, for have we not designed our fruiting to be exactly as you have described it, both enticing visually and encouraging in terms of what one has and tastes upon the tongue? For how else have we and would we know ourselves in the light of reproducing ourselves a bit further afield from the mother source, yes?
Channel: Yes, thank you. I am an admirer.
Great Spirit of the Pomegranate: We are aware. Yet that is not the purpose of our knocking on the door of your awareness, for we seek to sing a song of grace bestowed, the benefit of the greater clan of your collective, those of the human awareness, the sons and daughters of Eve.
We are aware of this is much as a little brick in the side for you, for you are afraid that those who receive these words of wisdom and of grace will conflate them with being served through the vessel of this or that religion, belief structure or construct. It is not so. Those who understand themselves as human have self-identified as born from that which is the intent of human.
One may acclaim it as coming from without. One may understand it as that which has been much as a fairy mother places the wand upon the land and poof, humans now populate and are scattered as seeds along the winds. And we would offer, as we perceive it in this current time and space, you have done quite well for yourselves.
You have and are quite efficient at picking yourselves up and redistributing yourselves wherever a small batch of land mass may remain. We are known as one of the characters in the myth that we would attribute to your society known as the Greek, wherein the energies of flow were perceived and understood through the various parsing out of frequency and element and that which was the container of this or that energy of deity known as god or goddess. And so, is it not that which was the story of one who has and mourned the separation from the sun, the light, the presence of informed life upon the surface of this earth plane, yes, Persephone, that is accurate, as you would describe it, and was not the mother most aggrieved when she has and learned that the light of her heart, the child of her flow, would be kept from her deep within the soils, and far away from the light of what has and offers life in the flow.
We will continue. We are aware you are somewhat familiar with this tale, yet we offer it for the benefit of those who are not so. As that youngness is called into a marriage, a union with that which is the being who lives within what is described as the Hades, the underworld, we would offer. It is the place where that which was informed is no longer held so tightly and remains in energetic and potential of flow. Is it not the metaphor for how and why there are seasons in this earth plane? Those who do not comprehend the shifting of the access and relation of the celestial body of the sun, your sun, our sun, and that of earth. And in this dance of relation is not that which has and is the cycle of life, regeneration, return, and rebirthing of flow, that which has and is the source, or if you will, the access upon which all turns in this particular expression of manifest existence that you know as your earth.
To return to the story, there was a lack of desire in the grieving as it was perceived of eternal separation from an embodied or enlightened expression. And to one who has and rests within means of potential, that which has and is, as you would understand it, returned into that which is the lack of light and flow. Until, of course, and this is where we come into the story and are always most joy-filled to hear it, the consumption of a mere six pomegranate seeds created that which was the requirement of season. For six seeds each holding the power of what is an earthly measurement of month, a moon cycle. So the earth itself would know itself in a particular access, access to the sun, offering that which is a period of restoration, of apparent death and lack of flow.
And then, as that which has and is the season of rebirthing, so the mother in reunion with the daughter, has and calls forth a season of rebirth, of renewal, of fruiting and of expressing in manifest form of flow. There are many fables and songs, stories and creation, myths, although they are simply and most beautifully the desire of the human heart to comprehend relation of that which has and is within and then apparently devoid of flow, of that which has and knows itself in the primacy of cyclical regeneration and the essential requirement of the return of energy wherein much has and is in hibernation, in resting in an uncontained manner of potential, yet without the grace of light that calls through its intent the expression of a manifest form that is and flows. The seasons are thusly explained.
And, of course, this is useful if one happens to reside in a point on the earth plane where the incoming and outgoing radius of the relation of the land mass to the sun is experienced in a manner that is extreme in sufficiency. To outpicture this, well, are there not also points on this earth that know very little shift from what you would call a season of knowing? We offer that there are points which are so close to the circumference of the plane that there is little variation and yet some. And there are points at either pole, as you would call them, where that which is the arc of destiny has and knows itself manifesting in greater extreme.
To find oneself in a physical form and yet with great periods without light has called forth many adaptations in service to the continuance of flow. Those who have and seek to simply sleep the winter away are most blessed, are they not, for they have determined how to manage their own physiologies such that they may also turn down the flow of their own requirement as they seek to hibernate or even to simply go into a state of waiting, wherein they are as stasis and yet not in dissolution. They are in a manner, if you will, held in the light of potential.
And for some, it matters not the number of cycles, years, if you will, that the earth has and encircles the sun. It simply takes the right combination to call forth that which was not devoid of life, yet that which had and dimmed itself to a point of maintaining the potential without the requirement of using up the fuel while awaiting a season in which the conditions are favorable enough to support the continuance of flow. Are you not one who has and understands that much can be preserved within the deep ice and not know itself as that which is returning its form and component elements into the recycling bin to be used in physical manner in other service to the light? Are there not those who have and appear to be quite inert? Was this not discovered in the desert wherein there are those who are and appear to be dehydrated and yet with the waters of life upon them, they spring back into animation and great joy for that which has and is the right combination of light, of resource, of water, and of opportunity is but upon them yet again.
It is a remarkable variety of life in this particular earth plane, is it not? And we are honored to be one. We offer that while we may appear to be a single fruit, much as the apple is one flesh or the berry or the melon, and yet what surprises you, daughter, when you have and open and peer inside that which is the seed pods of pomegranate, as you are willing to describe it for those few who have not entertained an intimate relation with that it is the consumption or simply the observation of our form.
Channel: Thank you, Great Spirit of the Pomegranate. When the skin is peeled back from your fruit, there are dozens and dozens of little seeds that are surrounded like jewels with ruby red or garnet colored fruitings and they are nestled together most efficiently, separated by fine membranes that have and I am not sure what they do serve to hold them in place. I don't really know. They are in clusters and groups, snugly fit together and quite beautiful to look at and to taste, I offer.
Great Spirit of the Pomegranate: We have suggested that it is designed such so do not feel guilty. Do not be embarrassed, daughter, at claiming that which we have and are delighted to feel is and serves as was intended. Your clan is but one of many who finds the fruit and seed of the pomegranate most tempting and serviceable to their nutritional requirement. Therefore, this has and serves us as well.
With regard to our nature and why we have chosen to step forward is not simply to offer a history of how, where one has and is in relation with flow, with light, with lack of light, with the season of growth or the season of rest, the season of fruiting, or the season of reclamation. These are required for that which is continuance of flow. Have you known in your human perspective of any flow of life as you understand it to be always in the season of its fruiting?
Channel: I have not.
Great Spirit of the Pomegranate: Have you known in your human awareness of any that has or was of life that has and is not required to offer itself a short period of restoration such as an evening's rest and an awakening to the dawn, or such as the longer hibernation of many creatures who have and understand themselves simply in a point of attending to the requirements of the flesh, when the season of resource is thin or untenable?
We invite your clan to understand yourselves as you continue to multiply and to expand across this earth plane as that which has and may know itself in requirement of a bit of repackaging, if you do not mind us offering, and to turn to the geometry of that which is the pomegranate and its seeds to offer guidance as to the manner in which many individual expressions may know themselves able to be held in a place of sustainability within a smaller and smaller field of form.
There are points where your species has and fills a village, a town, a city, or an entire country where you have and approach that which may be the requirement of a new reconfiguring of your own physical, emotional, and energetic relation with one another. You do not see the seeds, the fruits that are held within the pomegranate as shoving each other out of the nest in order to have more elbow room. That is not what we are suggesting, although it is a common practice if you will accept the metaphor.
You have a tendency as a species, we would observe, to seek to push each other off of the place of coexistence, when there is in truth room to spare for all. You may perceive yourselves as so different, as so unique, and so, if you will, other-than. You may perceive those who are of different cultural origins, or raised with different belief systems, or perceptions, as those who have and are and live within the light, and those others you cast your dispersions, your distrust, your fear, your anger upon, for trespasses, real or imagined, as that which has and is in the dark. And this is a distortion in the field of your clan, daughter. It is understood as the plague of otherness.
We are stepping forward to acknowledge that there is grace, value, and useful intent in that which has and is a period of resting in a flow of enlived manifestation and restoration of that which is understood as upon the surface, held in the grace of light, or held within the womb, wherein much has and is called into the patience of hibernation or of, if you will, a re-designation in another form, or another manner of knowing.
We offer this for all has and is a part of the greater flow of that which you understand as the vital life force that is expressed in the design of this earth plane. For those who have and consider themselves unique, different, superior to, or sweeter than another clan or tribe, we would offer that you are perceived, and in truth you are, no more or less, in your very natures as those who have and are the seed communities that gather within the fruit of the pomegranate. It is so, it may be, that some may have and fall off and are ready for the picking, while others are still in their cycle of growing and ripening. That is no measurement of difference. It is a measurement of where in the season of flow one or another has and journeys.
We step forth to invite those of the human species to perceive yourselves as simply the same fruits held within these little seed packets that you call pomegranates. For within each pomegranate of culture, of country, or system, belief, or lack therein, each ethnicity, as you perceive it, each point of ripening, depending upon, of course, how you define ripening, it is simple with our expression. It is a point where a sufficient consumption of light, of moisture, of nutrient, has and will call us to that place of our peak potential, to know ourselves in continuance through the willing offering of ourselves to that which has and would carry on our flow. And for your species, you may consider what you call your technology for your first world countries who have ripened a bit more in their technological advancement, and also, we would gently offer, their consumption of vast quantities of the available resource what has and is sufficient for all.
How would it be if a pomegranate tree claimed all of the moisture for a single branch, a path of flow, rather than to allow all to consume and the entire construct and the vitality therein would know itself in continuance. You may also consider that there are those who are more or less ripe not from, if you will, external opinion or observation, but simply from a frame of reference that you have in claim. If those other pomegranates and the fruits within are not consuming this or that, facing this or that direction, or blooming in this or that manner, and ripening in same, you judge them as less than, as of lesser use or value as that which has and is in a manner deformed or lesser quality of life.
We find this both alarming and confusing, and at times amusing, as we imagine the various pomegranate fruits that have and are spread most beautifully across the branches of this or that pomegranate tree, considering themselves as better or worse than, as more useful or more valued or more highly evolved or superior, simply because they are held within one or another of our fruits. We are offering, yes, the analogy of the communities of the seeds and the fruited encasements that are snuggled so beautifully together in a great geometry of efficiency, we might offer, within each of our fruiting containers, which you understand as the Pomegranate itself. How amusing and honestly ridiculous would it be if the one that has and was to the upper right of a branch would judge as less worthy, valuable, or as other than a fruit of the Pomegranate tree, because another has or was ripening at a slightly different pace or resided in a slightly different part of the tree and its branchings.
Of course, there is influence depending upon the relation with those which you understand as the directions and access to that which is an impeded flow of light or waters of nourishment in the soils and so forth. It is, we offer you this image, timely, and we would gently suggest that your family of humans in whatever pod you have and reside within, wherever upon the tree of this planet, and that whatever phase of understanding or relation of what you claim as superior through technology or at a point of knowing themselves, simply in a stage of development and not yet fully in the fruiting as of one family.
And how would it serve if all were have and to ripen in a singular moment and therefore fall into dissolution at that same point? Is it not better and more efficient, at least from the perspective of one who seeks to maximize the potential of continuance of flow, to have a varying of the season of ripening of our fruitings? And many of the plant kingdom wisely have and claim it so. For is it not useful to know oneself able to offer a meal to whatever has and would benefit that which is the redistribution and fertilization through the consumption and discharge of in the soils our little seedlings, and in this manner carry us with great efficiency upon the wings of expansion, yes?
We now speak of your clan and those generations, those seasons to come, of those who have and will be the human colonies of your fruiting, of your own tree of life, your own pomegranate tree of human destiny, as that which has and may not know itself, provided with adequate resource or temperate clime sufficient to sustain a season and another and another of useful fruiting and continuance of flow. We do not need to expand upon this concept, for we feel it has been served in many flavors. We simply offer that from our perspective, and that of many others, you are unable to perceive yourselves as you truly are, as that which is the same, whatever pod of culture or geography, ethnicity as you define yourselves, or variety of flow or form, all of you, every single being, is no more nor less another of the beautiful and glistening seed fruits that are held within you, that which is the container, the colony of each and all of the pomegranates that have and are placed upon the tree of life you call this earth plane.
Once one opens up, and those who have and would consume, there is no difference. That which is human is human. That which is pomegranate is pomegranate. That which has and rests within one or another seed container is no better nor worse, no smarter or more dim-witted than any other. We do not deny positioning upon the tree of geography has much to do with the kind of ripening in the season of your own potential.
This is an invitation to honor and accept the variation within you as that which has and is essential to your flow. And further, to observe from a greater vantage point than within your own little pomegranate pod just how beautiful all are and how required each and every pomegranate upon a tree has and is in the continuance and expansion of life in flow. So may it be.
This is a blessing of understanding that you are in your sense of singularity and otherness, simply a grouping, a community within that which is a small container of humans gathered here or there upon the tree of life that you know as this earth plane. Honor the source of your flow. Do not abuse as you are willing. Do not deny to other that they are other than what you are, beautiful, singular, yes, and yet also in vibration and attunement, the seeds of the same intent as human in expression of flow.
It is this wisdom teaching we have sought to bring forward, this greater perspective of all that you have and are, your potential, and then the greater expanse of understanding that has been a bit out of reach for some will play. It is complete, daughter. We appreciate your acceptance of our flow and we have and we take our leave as it is the season of our leaving, as you would know it so.
Channel: Thank you and blessings be Great Spirit of the Pomegranate. Thank you for your wisdom and your guidance and your wisdom teachings. I'm honored to be in receivership there.
Great Spirit of the Pomegranate: That is so, and so for the rest of those wherever you may reside on the Great Tree of Life that we have and use ourselves as example of. All are beloved. All are cherished. All have and vibrate in that which is the human light. You are individuate. You are in groupings and yet you are all the source of same and you have and may serve all well as you have and no longer from within containment of your smaller understandings and perspective perceive a foreignness and otherness in other members of your clan who simply fruit on a different branch of the tree the human expression. It is complete. We have and take our leave.
