Are fairies part of the Nature Spirit Kingdom?
Q: Are fairies part of the Nature Spirit Kingdom?
A: The answer to this is never easy for many expect them to be, but in truth they are not. As we have stated before, they are the Spirits from ages past left here to roam our world, helping us in total agreement of the tasks they must perform. They move silently through your world and can be seen by many that believe. They appear where and if one that seeks truly believes that they exist, not just as figments that fly through the night granting wishes to all that encounter them but as working examples of a team in action and added members of all societies that dwell within our world.
They appear as you speculate for this is part of the vision expressed through the minds you possess. Yet all are and shall ever be just a total awareness of all things lost so long ago. Once these beings lived as you and I and were free to roam the Earth. They lived in light and moved where and when desired, attempting to do what was needed to assist all in their quest for truth. They dwelled where some could not see and in places well known for they were of different types, as they are now. They worked and they learned but were put upon by those that would destroy their powers for their own worth. Like we, Nature, they were driven from the world we knew and have gone in shelter since. We alone can and shall ever know what suffering they have incurred by men such as you, yet still they exist. They seek out the light and those that believe and strive to help all of mankind but mostly those that know that Nature and your world are one. Through the existence of both shall we live together in peace. One day they hope to return again to the distant time when all were one, when the Great Mother ruled this place in peace and love. Until then they shall live in darkness, existing only when those that believe understand their truth; That all are one in Nature and life evolves through time in every way. Only through the acceptance of working together can we all attain peace and then can we truly all become what we were before. It is so.
Is global warming a real concern?
Q: Is global warming a real concern? (Mike in San Jose)
A: Do you not thirst? Of course! Why would man not understand that destroying everything that is needed to protect him shall make it better. We do not see the logic in such but then again we have been hard pressed for many years to understand all that your species expends.
Do you not realize that all of the world is connected? Be it the sun or the moon or the stars or the earth herself. If one is misaligned or disturbed then all are affected. If all of Nature is destroyed does it not seem that mankind will indeed follow? How shall the crops grow or the fish swim in a sea that boils with its touch?
We do not think that you comprehend what shall be, but history has written this upon her pages of time and if asked she will surely reveal that once, long ago, the earth was a place that was green and lush and wanted for nothing. Man was free to enjoy all that it offered. These days have changed and what lies ahead is not promising. Avoidance shall begin if the ones in power will let all of Nature repair what has been taken.
The time will come, and it will mark our words, when the sun will no longer contain itself. The mist that lights your way will be so strong that those who venture through it will cease to be. As in the past, towns and villages shall spread under the earth and all will become darkness once more. Nature will, as she has done in the past, adapt and will return again as before. You will not until the sun again joins with a new beginning of growth needed to break its glare from your Earth.
Doom comes to the greedy. It has always been that way. It shall never change.
Why did you let the dinosaurs die?
Q: Jack Frost would like to know why you let the dinosaurs die.
A: Though vastly under rated the great beasts lived for millions of years. Each was in tune with Nature and each chose this existence to survive. Within reason they were given this Earth span in which to attain what was needed to move forward.
As each beast mutates it moves either forward or destroys its being depending on its situation and the temperament of its being.
As man evolves he has chosen to do things that have changed his existence on this plane, thusly his decision to continue or not shall be one that we no longer abide by.
All chose the path they have taken and thus the lowly dinosaur is no more, but they exist still in other worlds for each in their own time finds their place and their time and invariably their goal to come.
As you search for yours you must realize that like the rose that blooms in the spring it must eventually pass away, but the seeds that are left shall bloom again; sometimes brighter and bolder than before.
All things, even beings such as we, depart their home and become one again with the Mother and this is called Renewal. With this the lessons learned or not are resolved and the plight or happenstance of the past is left behind. Often, as in the case of the great dinosaur, they evolve to become more.
This has and will happen countless time in worlds unseen by those such as you. But eventually all become what they must to attain the oneness with the Creator that leads them towards the path that they must follow.
We did not allow the dinosaur to die, the earth changed and with it the interpretation of such. They evolved and moved on just as you have done and will again.
Do plants have emotional shadows?
Cheryl wants to know:
Q: Do plants have emotional shadows? Are they there to add comfort to us while we reflect on ours?
A: Emotional shadows dwell within all realms for the darkness comes but emits light when it ceases, is this not right?
Within the lifetime of each being each faces challenges in that time. Whether they are you or we, we all have challenges. Accepting these brings forth growth but only if acceptance of these is attained. When the shadow side of a being, which is in particular not that different that the lightened side, appears it accepts what it must to seek this light. But all can neither live nor survive always in the light for the darkness brings what is also needed.
All beings encompass both a light and dark side, this is true, and the Dark Goddess rules as does our Earth Mother that rests in the heart of your planet. All choose and all grow but only when acceptance of each problem presented draws them closer to the solution that will increase their growth upon this world and the ones to come.
The Elemental kingdom strives to undertake work that is needed to maintain the growth of this and all worlds. We maintain all things in an orderly manner and assist the Great Earth mother in her quest for peace and tranquility while assisting all on their path to the higher realms. You also try to encompass growth likewise but assistance is often curtailed by lack of tolerance for all beings. Thusly things that were are no more. Reflection of all kinds is duly noted but reflection alone will not conquer all things. Lack of tolerance and grief can only cause more while patience brings growth.
Four Questions
Shannon asks four very interesting questions…Q: Are Dragons Nature Spirits?
A: No, this is not fact for each being whether they are plant or animal has a Spirit. The Dragons of yore were such but not of the Spirit that exists in Nature. Though they existed well within this realm unknown to you, they were different. They lived and died, each with a purpose of renewal as do all beings but unlike the plants and trees which are included in these messages they did not exist as such. Later you may ask of other beings. They are not of our type.
Q: Are Nature Spirits born?
A: Renewal is given to all beings, even those such as you are given such; so to say, “Are they born?” is exacting this truth. Thusly they attain what they desire and choose what they desire. As each being such as you, chooses to become what he has, so do we here. Thusly as stated in many messages we too become what is needed to further our growth within our world. Thusly we choose to become what we have become. We return again and again but only with the realization of what must be accomplished to further our being in this and all future beings to come.
Q: Does every seed come with its own spirit it can grow into?
A: Every being, whether it be a Nature seed or a Human seed has its own being and such begins and ends its existence in this knowledge. It accepts what it must to attain what is needed for growth whether it is in the garden that you see or the garden that is humanity. All are equal and each has a spark that alights with the growth attained in each lifetime.
Thus it is that all are endowed with this seed and grow towards the light that will guide them towards these goals that they have chosen. Thus it is so.
Q: Do Nature Spirits reside in a plant or rock or breeze or can they jump from one plant to another?
A: A Nature Spirit, an Elemental being exists to become what he has chosen. In accepting this form he becomes this until he becomes something different. This can be decided when and if his acceptance of this form does not meet with the growth needed to attain the goals set for each lifetime. The assessment of such is rare and thusly most Elemental beings continue to evolve throughout this or future lifetimes, each accepting more than before. Often others may offer exchanges to become another but this is rarely done but if accepted this may be chosen. For some the lack of adventure dampens them and they must attain more. Thus it is so.
In the event of a large fire, how do the plant spirits “view” that event?
Q: In the event of a large fire, how do the plant spirits “view” that event? Are they frightened by it, accepting of it and how do they cope with the end results?
A: When events such as fire occur in Nature it begins and finishes like before. All things exist and perish. That is truth and can not be denied and thus in acceptance of this the pain in never intended not endured. For all of life begins and ends… some sooner and some not so, but in each the Spirit continues and begins once more refreshed with information attained in the beingness before. Thusly when a “fire” which in its sense is a living being doing what it must to attain the results needed throughout this world, begins her walk through space she attends to what must be destroyed, yet in death is rebirth and the renewal of what lies ahead.
Each plant has a Spirit, that has been explained and each Spirit endues. Thusly each being, whether it is a tree or flower, a rock or the storm at sea, each has a destiny and a plan and an acceptance. Thus it is so and the acceptance is so. Thus it is.
How interactive with human Spirits are the Nature Spirits?
Q: How interactive with human Spirits are the Nature Spirits? How do they view their human counterparts? Do they get frustrated trying to communicate with us sometimes, or are they on a whole not aware?
A: All of Nature exists on a level equal to that of the human mind and thus the recognition of such is available to all beings but only through the communication and understanding of each species and the acceptance of such can each begin to understand each world. Thusly when presented, each in their own time shall accept or not the existence of other beings others than the ones they encounter within their world. We as the Spirits of Nature exist as stated before and communicate on a daily level with all beings. The acceptance of this is attainable and thusly open to all that would enjoy this.
As noted we do accept that others unlike yourself do not accept that we exist but it does not matter for all beings are as they are and the acceptance of each world is only a guideline to others. Knowing that what we attain is necessary we accept that the rejection of ones such as your kind will become inevitable but the continuance of all things relies on this truth, Nature alone rules this place and she guides all things. The honor given her shall begin and end with all beings and the reliance of all things exists in her power. She accepts the fact that all of Nature works hand in hand with her and also hopes for the time when all the world recognizes that without her influence all would perish.
Acceptance is not necessary but if seen is appreciated. Thus it is so.
In the web of Nature/Plant Spirits, how does the information of a large event travel?
"Silentruneii" wonders about how information of a major event travels and the human spirit. She offers 3 questions for our friends:Q: In the web of Nature/Plant Spirits, how does the information of a large event travel?A. In the event of a large occurrence such as an earthquake, tidal wave, volcanic
eruption, etc. are the Earth Spirits or other species aware of the event before it occurs?
B. How does that information travel?
C. If they are aware, are they trying to communicate that information to us? (Ex.
Before an earthquake there is a sense of restless energy, animals acting strangely, stillness in the air.)A: All of life is connected, be it a single rose or the forest at the edge of dawn all begin and end with one purpose. The purpose to be all to all beings here and forever more. Each in their own place awaits what is needed and thus expands on causes in times of need. As you search for this answer know that all things are as they have been for all times and thus in ensuing such things on this planet all are taken as given and accepted as such.
When an event as stated is slated to begin all are given heeded warning for each in their own place must bring about occurrences either pro or con depending on what the Great mother desires in her wake. As the earth trembles each being be they below or above is awakened to this fact and thus knowing what may ensue begins what he must to attune within his being the wishes of she that rules all. As a hurricane flows ever over the sea or a tornado sweeps across the land the waves that are emitted are brought into focus and thusly relayed to all that would encounter within their path this destruction. Though in keeping with this thought, nothing is destroyed but changed and begins again always anew.
It is fact that the web that exists in all things is converged and the planets that align in your sky are also faulted at this time but all things are as they should be and all are given a choice in what shall commence.
As Spirits of Nature we give and we take and thus is the path of all beings. When an act of nature occurs it is because it is what is needed at this time. All of Nature exists and within itself it abides. Owing to this logic we give you this.
When the Great One elects… it is followed, for only She decides when and where each event occurs. Other beings may abide in her decision but it is always hers alone.
You speak of great occurrences, "acts of God" as they are called but in truth they are Hers alone.
Yes many beings other than those that serve feel the presence of this event before (the) time and electing to attain protection will travel away from this. Many others will choose to stay because what they experience is what is needed for their progression in this and future lifetimes. When an event occurs the reasons differ. Not only for the dispensation of energy, which is often needed to regulate the flow of energy in the web that exists between worlds but also to counterbalance the destruction called by outside influences in this and other worlds. Other beings also help with these projects and thus they exchange energies in the aftermath and thus seek out reassurance in these matters.
The traveling of information exists as stated before, through the great web that encircles the earth. This energy field exists in all worlds and only through this can distances be measured and events calculated. For this provides all beings with what is needed to sustain its survival upon this plane and through it all things exist. In the instance of a major event this web is open in certain areas and the energy released through different means. Thusly in the release of energies the planetary balance is alerted, elevated, and atoned for once more. Often the counterbalance of this world is upset and through the propagation of such events, can it be eradicated. Thusly when seen on this scale it can be assessed with greater oneness than in other ways. So it is and the exacting presence of these events leads to the reposition of this plane on which we rest. Understand?
As stated, the information is passed throughout this Kingdom and thus each NS knows how and why it is instigated, the outcome, and the exacting measures needed by each in exacting said event. Others that are not involved may sense the urgency in the planetary balance and thus comply but this is only possible with species that exist in another form. Thusly they abide within this framework and dissolve into what is needed to sustain, or not, their being upon this plane. Exact specifications are granted, this is true and destruction is noted by all, but necessity dictates that the balance of earthy influences must be met to continue the growth and existence of this place that you call earth. At times others debate such occurrences but the Mother alone declines and accepts what she needs and thusly must all that reside upon this place.

Is irradiating our food destroying or altering it in any way?
The Apple In The Field I was visiting Findhorn last year, staying at a lovely B&B called 'Rainbow Lodge'. One of the guests who was leaving the community and moving back to Australia had just been to the local Safeway market. While there she had picked up a few very large red apples. Though they said they were organically grown, she still wondered how they remained so fresh when the ones in the Park Store (the little store run by Findhorn Foundation that provides all organic, non altered food) weren’t as appealing and seemed to 'fade' in a shorter time. She had read about the new trend of radiating food to keep it fresher longer. Since she didn’t really want to eat apple that wasn’t all natural she wondered if I would ask it if it had been radiated and if so what that did to it. This is the answer I received. Q: Is radiating our food destroying or altering it in any way?A: The apple presented has changed in the fact that what it was is indeed not what it was. The facts given to you are not what is needed by any being on this or any other world because what changes you or I or anything that is not known as natural will change eventually everything that is. In the case of the apple presented. Once it grew free in the field. True the pesticides or other implements were alleviated and all went as planned but with the incoming annoyances offered and the disappointments of others came the induction of things as these. This apple such as it is will change the chemistry of all that injest it, because it was not grown where it was free. This would (not only) also alter all that ingested it but shall also alter ones that desire to become one with Nature. For to remove that spark that connects you with this kingdom, one must ingest it with this intent. If that intent is removed then the connection is lost and the connection between man and Nature no longer survives. Nature is giving and in her wisdom has offered you all that is needed to sustain your race. It has provided through the years everything needed to become what was needed to survive and sustain all on their quest in your world. Yet in your haste to change things, you accept that changing what we have given shall bring you more. (But instead) shall become again what shall change you into something far different than what you assume today.
Nature is a gift and what she provides should be taken as such. To reject such is to challenge her. This is not possible and thus this must be said. All will and shall become what is not desired unless ones realize that what they desire is not what shall be. For Nature speaks in ways that shall challenge all that upset their ways.
We ask that you abide by her rules and submit only to what she provides. To resist will only cause you and all you love to become something different. Release the perfection and realize that all things are as they should be. We alone rule this place and others may change this but in the end we shall survive. Shall you? We do not know but we ask that you honor the gift that she has given and the life that she has provided. For to alter anything is to change their path and with that yours. Each has chosen their course and this is not what Nature has chosen.
