The Great Spirit of the Swallow

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, bringing you a gift of guidance from the Great Spirit of the Swallow in today's episode of Gaia Translate. I was drawn to channel the Great Spirit of the Swallow when I went to visit the barn in where a good friend of mine stables her horse. I was absolutely mesmerized upon my arrival when I walked out of my car and I saw hundreds, I'm not kidding you, hundreds of barn swallows swooping in and out of the stables, going back and forth to these little nests that they had managed to glue and attach to the roof beams that ran the entire length of the buildings. Amazingly, the horses didn't seem to mind sharing their accommodations with this rather large community of avians. 

My friend explained it was because the barn swallows are busy consuming all of the insects and the flies that have and agitate the heck out of the horses' flanks during the summer season. So this was a great exchange, a communal exchange of neighbors in the environ. The transcript is available in the show notes for this episode at GaiaTranslate.com.  

Great Spirit of the Swallow: There are those who appreciate our service to the well-being of other members of life in flow, are there not, daughter? We have and would announce ourselves. We are those who have and vibrate. As that which is understood as Swallow. You hold in your mind's eye the Barn Swallow, and that is a great example, if you will, of collaborative cohabitation of an environ which involves not simply those of your own species, human, those who have and are of the horse, as you would call them, and other members who would rest or reside within such structure as barn, being cow or pig or goat and other.  

We have and know ourselves as welcome members of the community. Are we not that which has and consumes those that have and would pester, or even some might describe as torment, the animals including your own, such as the fly and other insect forms who perceive you and those of the horse, the cattle, the hog, the goat, and other as foodstuff? And is it not that which has and as these beings have and would void, they have and offer mighty breeding ground for that which you have and would seek in truth to have completely removed from your environs and communities? We do not doubt the blessings of the fly or other insects, for is that not for us as they perceive your four-legged members of community at barn? That which you seek to take either the labor from, the milk from, the flesh from, or any other variation therein, and for whom you have and provide shelter and resource to fill their bellies until it is no longer efficient for you, yes?  

Channel: I greet you, Great Spirit of the Swallow, the Barn Swallow. Yes, thank you.  

Great Spirit of the Swallow: We step forward as that which has caught your attention, and yet not as that which has and is complete. We are a vast species, that which you have called the Swallow. We have great capacity of adaptation, great memory for safe harbor, if you will, and great willingness to have and serve in our manner as that which has and does not seek to cause a detriment only to fill our belly. And you have so kindly, as species in general we would offer, allowed us to avail ourselves of this wall or that timber or beam of this overhang or that for our little nests wherein we have and are grateful for that which is the offering of a form of construct upon which to build our shelter. And in return, do we not offer you the great blessing? We speak of your species, yes, not individually. That which is the grace of our hungry bellies and desire to consume that which has and you consider as do many of your beasts of burden as they have been described or companions for others, providers of great resource for many, those animals that have and live within your barns and structures. And for those who simply have and offer a bit or corner of this or that of their own physical home or domicile, we simply serve you to be that which has and removes the great number of insects and flies, yes, as member of that species, as we fill our belly and as it has and removes them from that which is the pestering, the bothering, and in truth the consumption of your flesh and that of those of your other fellow community members, those you keep in your barns and those who reside within your structures. For do not those that are the flies and other insects also seek to consume your own flesh and that of your companion animals, be they the horse, the equine, be they the dog or canine, be they the cat or feline and so forth?  

We step forward as an example of that which has been somewhat lost, we feel, for many of late, that which is the great collaboration and cooperation when various species as you perceive them of animal, of insect, of winged ones, of birds, yes, and even of those who reside within the waters have and cohabitate a particular environ. And while it may not seem clear or obvious, if you will, the benefit that one or another may reap from the presence of one or another in a communal environ that does not deny the potential for such return, if you will, such contribution by those of this or that clan or species to the greater well-being of all concerned. 

You have observed, we perceive, that there have been, and quite usefully we feel, threads of various links of tail or, if you will, mane of horse or other animals that we have and weave into our, of our … that we have and weave into our nest, if you will, along with the various other aspects of the environ, the mud, the soils, is that which has and is not a bother to those whom we have and would serve the great benefit of reducing in great measure, more than may be understood, the agitance [sic] and the constant bothersomeness of the flies that have and would seek to nip or nibble, to suck or suckle a bit from those members of your community who have and reside in such quarters.  

We are not limited to the barn. You have observed, we perceive, that which is the swooping grace of those who have and are of the Tree Swallow, who have and consume the insects that have and float upon the surface of the waters and fly within the air around your own domicile and that of the body of water you reside next to. While you may not perceive this as of great value or benefit to you personally, we offer you might be surprised if we were not so hungry and skilled as to the number of insects that might have and multiply rather quickly upon the waters of the pond or simply in the air of these environs.  

We do not suggest that we seek to completely eliminate those various communities of insects for that is, would not be efficient for us as we have and seek to have them multiply to a point to fill our bellies and the bellies of our young. It is simply that which has and is the honoring of greater or more vast, if you prefer, wisdom of the light of the mother source, the Gaia as you call it, to plant and seed to inspire and fertilize those who have and are of the various expression energetically and in manifest form physically to partake and participate as members of what might be understood as the web of life or the ecosystem or ecology of this or that environ. 

We have been admired by those who place themselves in the ships that sail across the oceans for the great distances we travel with no such assistance as we have and are blessed with the wings upon which to fly and with the ability to consume “on the fly” as it was, whilst we have and journey from one climb to another.  

We are admired and tolerated, we feel, and by some quite enchanting and loved as is the case with the being who has and is the steward of that farm, that barn, you have and visit on occasion. He has and is one who appreciates our collaboration and our contribution to this little point of interface cross species, if you will. 

We step forward as a willing and joy-filled example of the benefits that may not appear so obvious to some that have and are quite efficient for many, not simply your own species yet to those who have and reside for you with you or as part of the structure of farm or barn or other that you and your intent have and create. To broaden one's perspective a bit is the guidance we have and seek to offer those of your clan, daughter. To accept that the presence of this or that be it one who spreads their wings and rides upon the currents of the atmosphere, be it those who have and are burdened to simply walk upon the earth, the land, or those who live within it or such as yourselves those who claim parts of that which are the natural world to build structure of your own nest, if you will, and the nest for those you seek have held within your communities your farmland and even just your own personal structures as home or other environ of community gathering and to accept that there may be that which has and may cause you distress or joy, perceived benefit or perceived detriment, and yet to jump to conclusion and to seek to eliminate that which has and may end up being that which serves a greater web of interconnected flow is less than in high discernment, we might gently observe.  

And so we step forward as willing and joy-filled example and guide to accept and encourage that there are many mutually beneficial interrelationships between species that are little understood although some are being, if you will, explored and these are useful. These are not random. They are to be acknowledged and honored and observed carefully before the application of that which has or may completely unweave the great and complex web of the culture, the ecology of this or that point of land mass, this or that environ, be it that upon which those of your collective field of human have sought to either clear, or command, manipulate, or contaminate the manner you have and perceive as unaffecting of your own well-being, while perhaps amplifying yield while perhaps simply as that which is to be moved out of the way without careful consideration as to what purpose for the greater flow of the natural environ it may or has or serves.  

There are many examples. We do not need to dredge them up for we feel they are quite numerous that have and are the choices made with only one or two small intents as that which guides the spade, the shovel, backhoe, or even greater measures of the redistribution and reconfiguration of land mass and resource your species has and reclaim for its own use. And we are at a place where even we, who are quite facile and able to adapt, have and would acknowledge that our patterns of migration are required at this point to adapt rather rapidly to the shifting of the climate as it has and warms this earth plane and has and will dissolve certain beneficial environs, those that have and help us on our way from here to there, those that have and house great numbers of life forms, those that have and are no less than required for the continuance of balance in flow as those who have and migrate. 

We perceive such things perhaps with greater accuracy as to the influence of those shifting climates beyond your own measurements were tools of measurement, for we have and hear and chat along the way other members of life as they have and sing us the songs of their losses, of their diminished resource, and in truth of their grief as they perceive there may not be a season of continuance as they continue to experience the demolition or evaporation of that which is required to sustain them and the greater ecosystem of this or that point of geography on this earth plane. 

We do not step forward only to make these somber observations but rather to offer those of your clan the opportunity to claim one's Swallow nature, that which has and most willingly seeks to participate as member of community, not as that which dominates but as that which is willing and, if you will, useful and joy-filled contributor through our nature and our desire to cohabitate in service to our own need state and that of other. There are those of your clan who invite us with open and joy-filled hearts to roost, to nest, if you will, and to call forth our young. For as we have and live in neighborly relations with your species and those you harbor, we have and serve that which has and would hold balance, and perhaps not in all ways, yet in manner that has and is discernible serves to eliminate that which you consider pests without causing the contamination or destruction of an entire species through your pesticides or insecticides or that which has and then soaks into the soil, and in truth is consumed by your clan and those you seek to feed your foodstuff with in service to your desire to feed upon their flesh or to simply drink the lactation of this or that female. 

We do not judge; we simply observe that this is a season where a shift from that which has and would be, if you will, a knee-jerk reaction to anything that has or would initially appear as irritant, or aggravate, or simply in the way of your desire to build or rebuild or expand or cut down various forests or areas of other ecologies in service to that which you perceive of as your own benefit or need state. There is a tipping point, you know, whereas you have and claim yet that and that and that. While we do not deny we appreciate open land, yet to eliminate those other communities may call forth a greater imbalance and therefore, if you will, an ecological cost whose interest you will be paying as will all for season upon season upon season to come.  

To claim one's Swallow nature is to claim one's nature as one who has and is most graceful and accurate when one spreads the wings of one's will upon the currents of one's intent and one who has and is most willing and joy-filled to be a member of a contributing member of a greater community of life within which each and all has their part and each and all contributes in their way to the greater well-being of the whole. We are swift, we are adaptable, and we are willing. We honor the relationship of various species of life forms without the need to deny the needs of others in service to our own as in truth when one has and turns away from that which sustains or maintains the life force and the continuance, if you will, generation and generation of the entire environ as an ecological community, one has and very truthfully slices off the nose to spite the face as some have said in your culture.  

We appreciate your taking the time, daughter, to invoke our awareness as we have felt it was efficient to offer with small guidance as a gift from our heart to those of your clan and to offer them the blessing of claiming that which is high attunement with one's Swallow nature a collaborative and joy-filled member who has and serves willingly, openly, most efficiently to contribute to the greater well-being while also seeking to serve our own need state through our natures. Is it not a beautiful relation? We feel many have and appreciate it and we invite the application of one's Swallow nature, one whose nature it is to be a willing member of community whatever the shape or form of the other members and to understand that through our nature we have and serve, we have and offer benefit, and so we reap it, not through the domination, yet through the cohabitation. Can you taste the difference? 

Channel: I can, yes, thank you very much.  

Great Spirit of the Swallow: You're welcome daughter. It is sufficient. We have and take our leave.
