The Snake and the Toad: A Parable of Brothers and Civil War

While on a nature walk, a dear friend had seen a snake in the process of swallowing and eating a toad. Later that day, one of her friends sent her an article about that exact aspect of nature — except both the snake and toad died in the process. She asked me what I thought of the symbolism.  

In my life’s work as a Psychic, Channel, Energy Healer, and Spiritual Coach, I am in daily communion with thousands of loving and high-vibration spirit Guides. When I enquired in my own Akashic Records, an energy field of all of earth’s history, present situations, and future probability timelines / parallel lives, this is the message I channeled with my Higher Soul as the great synthesizer of information and perspectives from across the realms and worlds.  

“It is a parable of brothers and the karmic cycles that some pairs of souls will go through as they are finding their way to peaceful existence together; not only co-existence, but peaceful harmony and thriving together. 

For in the examples cited, though there is full acknowledgment within this particular natural realm of the biosphere of earth that there are some animals who do kill and eat and ingest others in what you call the Cycle of Life, as this particular biosphere has developed, that cycle is designed to be without waste. 

The animal whose life ends at the physical vessel level, provides life-giving nourishment for the other animal. 

And in this way, even in death, there is harmony. 

There is a karmic soul contract in the Higher Soul giving of its incarnated vessel’s physical life form to support more life. 

And in that way, 

There is still Honor. 

There is still Dignity. 

There is still Grace. 

In nature, one finds also, that the vast majority of the time, the killing is merciful. It is quite neat. It is quite fast. There is no intention for the animal who is dying — for that animal to be tortured or to suffer unnecessarily. 

We say all of this because in the example cited of the snake who died while trying to consume the toad, there was no benefit to either. 

The toad did not end up providing an energy source for the snake, and the snake did not end up benefiting from an energy source. 

These two beings within that particular incarnation cycle ended up killing each other. The snake killed the toad in trying to consume it. And the toad killed the snake in whatever manner it was that the attempt of the consuming did not work. 

In this way, it is similar to two brothers who have fatally shot or stabbed each other. Both suffer. Both meet their end of incarnation. 

And we question, 

‘What was the value of that? Of brother killing brother?’ 

There is no value in the life cycle. 

It is only repetition of a karmic cycle until beings learn to live in harmony. 

In the brotherly cycle, at the human level, humans oftentimes can be in these cycles for thousands of years, millions of years — until each decides that they are going to be harmonious; that they are going to stop the cycle of needless killing. 

Until brothers decide to break the karmic cycles; to stop needlessly killing each other, which clearly doesn’t benefit anyone, they will be in a lost vortex together; quite simply, wasted time and energy — until they decide that they will be harmonious and they will support the cycles of life — that they will support each other’s thriving. 

We speak mostly of humans now. 

Until all humans decide that they will dedicate themselves to helping each other thrive, they are in a cycle of wasted time and energy. 

And so it is with a deep sense of urgency; a deep sense of offering Help and regard and helping illuminate with Love and Light and Wisdom whenever possible; that we send our Blessings and our Tidings and what you term as Help to the earth through these difficult times, in the coming months, in the coming years. We are present. 

We operate from a place of Wholeness and of Vision of seeing across all Space, Time, Dimensions, knowing what Could Be and seeing these very beautiful, glorious outcomes in the long run. 

And we do hope that humans can expedite with Love, Compassion, Forgiveness, for as we were saying through the Vessel Known As Leah when she enquired about what to do in a particular situation, we relayed to her the answer is: 

‘Love, Compassion, Forgiveness. Always this is the lesson.’ 

With Gratitude. With Thanks and in Full Faith.” 

My gratitude to my dear friend, the wise soul Laura Rizer, for originally bringing this topic of the Snake and the Toad to my attention.

Blessings of the Gold Tree of Life

The Gold Tree of Life is a tangible reminder of your connection to the earth and to divinity.

So many of us are familiar with the earth blessings of the Gold Tree of Life which is such a universal symbol for all of us and is beautiful flowing across most major world religions.

We have so many beautiful aspects of our world that unite us all and our beautiful Tree of Life is one of our very potent and grounding symbols.

In my work as a Spiritual Coach, psychic medium, and energy healer, I am in ever-present dialogue with hundreds of spirit Guides a day, and thousands in a week.

Here is a beautiful channeled message that our Guides collectively have brought for us:

“We lovingly share a Gold Tree of Life that is filled with 6th Dimension blessings of Love and Peace.

You can envision within your own body the beautiful Gold Tree of Life where your body is the trunk of the gold tree.

From your feet are the beautiful gold roots of the tree that reach down into the earth, through the ground, hundreds of feet down, anchoring your unique light and presence; your unique role on earth; your unique psychic imprint frequency; anchoring it in to the earth.

Then up from above your head, the beautiful gold branches and leaves reaching up toward the sky and toward the heavens, as you are simultaneously drawing in from the sky and the heavens all of the blessings of Love and Peace from the 6th Dimension, and weaving it into your own unique energy signature and radiating it back up into the sky so that all of your unique love and light; the unique ways in which you show up in the world; the unique ways in which you share your love and your heart; that that then magnifies.

Our Guides show a Golden Cloud Palace in the sky together. They are reminding you that you are Heaven on Earth. You are heavenly beings doing divine, light-filled work here on earth. You are acknowledged and recognized for your contributions to humanity as stewards of this earth.

At any time you feel alone or disconnected, reach out to each other, call upon your Guides for energetic help. They are infinite energy and resources for you.

We’re so lovingly reminded all of the time how we are all one world, one energy field together. And so it is with such beautiful, loving blessing that as you radiate your unique love into our skies, that you are infusing our world energy field with your divine love and purpose.

Our Guides so lovingly remind us it is something to be proud of that you have a heart that is so overflowing with love that from that abundance you are sharing it with the rest of the world. They cannot stress enough the world needs more people like you who are operating from such a glorious place of love, compassion, and abundance.

They show in our beautiful skies all of these beautiful winged animal totems who lovingly steward us and are always looking out for us. They show the beautiful hummingbirds, eagles, condors, dragons, butterflies, bees, in flight as they are taking the beautiful, unique, love signatures that you are all radiating out and up.

All of our beautiful winged friends and Guides — they are as pollinators — they are lovingly pollinating the world with the love signature from your heart.

In that way, it’s such a beautiful, loving reminder for us all to keep radiating our unique loving heart signatures into the world.

The world needs each and every one of us.”

Ancestral Celebration: You Are the Perfect Embodiment of Unification

This summer, earth had a powerful energetic and astrological alignment of the Summer Solstice, Solar Eclipse, New Moon, and Father’s Day all happening over a span of June 20 - 21, 2020.

All year, I had known I was going to be spending it with two magical fellow Lightworker friends, Jenny Deveau and Seth Misterka, the Master Sound Healers of Dynasty Electrik. I was grateful to be up at their cabin, Mile High Retreat, which is one mile above sea level, up in the cloud forest of the San Bernardino Mountains, with the songbirds chirping and hummingbirds visiting me on their deck. 

When I led a Group Akashic Records session over Zoom on Father’s Day, for people from around the country, our collective pure energy Guides brought through this channeled message. 

“On this day of Ancestral Celebration, of love and remembrance, we are so grateful to all of our ancestors, our fathers’ and our mothers’ sides, for loving us and supporting us — for bringing us to this united glory that we each are. 

You are the perfect embodiment of unification. 

You are equal parts your mother’s side of the family; of your father’s side of the family. 

You are a perfect One of the Two. 

Even though many of us do have siblings who are the other closest beings in unification to us; even for those who are twins; you are your own beautiful unique vibrational being, your own unique psychic energy imprint. 

We all always have the divine masculine and the divine feminine with us at all times. We are all embodying the divine feminine and the divine masculine at all times, in constant evolution. With our karma, wherever we are at any given time, we live in service for our highest evolution and growth.

Envision an Infinity sign vertically so you can think of it like an elongated number 8. There’s also the Ouroboros infinity sign; that of the snake gently biting its own tail. That’s a beautiful representation of the relationship and support that you and your ancestors have together energetically — that it is infinite and the snakes and the Ouroboros are constant regeneration, so we’re constantly going through these growth cycles. 

We regenerate and there’s always a new layer of growth; always a new layer of regeneration for us and our ancestors as they evolve through the energy kingdom. The way that they do that is in Service to Others also. Helping us is their energetic, angelic service. 

As you call upon your ancestors for help, know that you are also part of that beautiful Ouroboros infinity energetic flow. 

As they are helping you, you are also helping them.”

We Thrive No Matter What: Remember the Things That Bring You Joy

You are so lovingly acknowledged. Whether it takes fortitude, love, something as simple as giving yourself the freedom to rest when you are burned out or at the end of one rope, know that there is always another rope to come into service and in aid to you. As monkeys so gracefully fly through the jungle canopy, there’s always another vine, another tree, another place for them to swing to, land upon, and rest at. And you so lovingly can give yourself permission to have time to play or rest as you need to. 

Part of what has been a frustrating shift for many people was the awareness of, or the coming acceptance of, knowing that the current global health situation with Covid is not going to be completely resolved anytime soon. And so there was a certain amount of energy and patience that many had for it during the first few months that wore out or had to reach another phase of processing. 

Many of us had the thinking that if we could do everything right: We can wear our masks, and social distance, and wash our hands, and clean the surfaces, and take care of those who are sick, and bring groceries to those who are vulnerable, and we increase our own self care in ways that we haven’t in years, and we take care of the collective — even for those of us in the helping fields — taking care of the collective in a whole other way, on a scale that we had never done before; and feeling like if we do all these things right, this virus will run its natural course relatively quickly. 

And so many have had the wish to return life to “normal” but we of course know, logically, that that’s not going to happen as we previously knew it. 

Now and moving forward, it’s really a matter of what shifts do we need to make internally where we fully know and we believe with everything in us, “We Thrive No Matter What.” 

This is all serving our growth. This is all the larger picture of the evolution of humanity. 

There were multiple timeline scenarios for how this evolution could have happened. And this was the fastest, which is why we, as in our Higher Souls, chose it collectively. 

As we grow through this time and support each other, our Guides lovingly remind us, 

“Remember your joy. Remember the things that make you happy.” 

And some of them are things that you can do know. Sometimes we forget that, because we feel like there are so many restrictions that have been put on us, but there are so many things that we love to do that we can still do. We just have to be conscientious about remembering them.

We also lovingly received a journaling suggestion from our Guides, of something you can each do for yourselves. 

“Things That Bring Me Joy.” Write that at the top of a page and just write down the things that come to mind. It’s a totally open list. They can be things you can do now, while we’re in quarantine. Or they can be things that you can’t do right now but have brought you joy in the past, and are things that you’re looking forward to doing again.

For me, the first thing that came to mind was Yosemite National Park. That’s my favorite National Park. I’ve been to most of our states and have traveled the world extensively. I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, which is just a 3-hour drive to Yosemite and started going there when I was 12 years old. 

I was actually just there with friends in February 2020, so I was in Yosemite a few weeks before quarantine started. And I’m so grateful that I got to be there, not knowing this was all right about to happen. I’m grateful that the memory imprint is fresh for me. 

When things really open up again, I’ve been saying one of the things I really want to do is be in Yosemite, even though I was just there a few months ago. That’s the top of my list of “Things That Bring Me Joy.” 

Chocolate and ice cream are also on my list! If eating a slice of strawberry shortcake dessert would bring you joy, write it down on your list. 

Everything is energy. Everything is frequency. Part of the invitation to think about the things that bring you joy and to physically write them down is because as you’re thinking about them, those memories in your brain are going to be rewiring you up. And then by physically writing it down, it’s going to bring that beautiful joy frequency through your body.

So you’re recalibrating your mind and recalibrating your body, just by thinking about those things that bring you joy. 

This sounds like an exercise we could give to a class of 1st or 2nd graders, little kids who have just learned how to write or they could even draw pictures. For the younger children, it could be an exercise of them drawing pictures if they can’t write yet. 

The interesting thing about this exercise being presented to adults is that it’s looking at the core of what our needs are. And so many of the core needs that we think of as applying to children, apply perfectly to us.

And the invitation is that if you want to draw some of those things on your joy list, absolutely do it! We all used to draw as children and then by older childhood or teenage years, drawing starts phasing out of our activities, as adults. Even for those of us who are visual artists — I used to draw a lot as a child, and paint, and the Guides actually keep reminding me to do that again. And it’s valid. 

Drawing and visual art are such a beautiful form of expression that we recognized how important it was for children to draw out their feelings, their dreams, everything that was important to them. But as adults, how often do we give ourselves the time and space to do that? 

Give yourself the gift of reflecting on your joy.

You have it now.

You Are the Infinite Love and Goodness: Our Growth Is Only Forward

This is what it’s like to be a human bridge with the pure energy Spirit world: The human part of me was frustrated with the extended Shelter in Place situation. I didn’t have any proper chocolate at home, so I went to the grocery store. Let’s consider that this trip was essential, given my state of mind. 

About 6 different kinds of chocolate, plus 2 kinds of cashew milk ice cream later, I asked the 200+ Guides who I work with to please help me and to illuminate my way out of the frustration over this time. They assured me they would bring through a message.

When I was asleep at home, later that night, they woke me up at 3:30 a.m. and brought in a lengthy channeled message until after 5 a.m., in multiple parts, with guidance for me, some messages for specified friends, and this message for humanity. They oftentimes do this, and say they choose this timeframe because it is when my building is finally quiet.

I put their message in quotes so there’s context around why it will shift from “our / we / you” because they will speak as “we,” etc. Sometimes my own Higher Soul is speaking as a bridge with my human Incarnated Soul, as in this intro below. You’ll notice the perspective shifting in and out. 

Sometimes I can edit channeled messages in a way that will read directly from the human perspective. But in this case, it really is a message directly from our Guides. I love you all.

“Our growth is only forward. We know what role we each have. We will always bring forth the highest good, the highest love, the highest Service to Others. Our Higher Souls have such love for each other, for the universe, for this world, and all worlds. They are the memory repositories for all of our lifetimes; for all of our lessons and experiences. 

You have the choice in every moment to move forward.

You have the choice in every moment to appreciate the sanctity, the glory of this life, of your own beating heart.

You have the choice to marvel at the baby birds that are chirping throughout this springtime.

You have the choice to claim your inviolable rights as a sovereign human, a sovereign being, a sovereign soul.

You have the choice to question.

You have the choice to rejoice.

You have the choice to celebrate everything within you, for all that you truly are was never taken away.

This time was given to you to fully understand who you are and what matters. 

You understand all that is extraneous — that was unnecessary — has been stripped away. 

Nothing remains that is not meant to remain. 

We are always nurturing you. Your fear is an illusion. 

This pandemic frees you from your shackles. One must unbind the old systems to make way for the new. And you understand you have freedom now in a way you didn’t before. 

Though you think that freedom has been taken away because of your physical restriction, the truth is you now have true and complete freedom, for you are fully in the space of your mind. 

You do not have the noise of the outside world. Any noise is of your choosing but it is not the invitation. 

In the face of any challenge, in the face of any obstacle, we will not stand down. Destruction is necessary for growth and expansion. 

We have watched the destruction many times over. It must never weigh on us. We must see it all as temporary. We must see it all as cyclical. 

One cannot be bogged down by an individual loss, perceived loss of life or of any form of matter, for it is all energy and matter in motion. There is no real loss. There is only transmutation from form to form. 

We must not mourn perceived losses for they are still One with all that we are. What a blink this existence is. The smallest of dots in the ripples of time. All of the fiery shifting of the cosmos. We have nothing to fear.  

We need to have patience: This is a vast period of growth that is happening in a very compacted time. It will be over sooner than you realize. 

Growth will continue to accelerate. 

The burning, the purging, the ameliorating away of all that was before that was not needed. 

How far so many had become from their highest virtues; how far many had become blinded by greed; so far from the values of virtue and love; concern and caring for others. 

You do have now these many competing forces. For any souls that know the Love and Light of the One Creator, the darkness has no effect. 

What a fallacy it is for the individual humans to feel so small when truly they are the vastness of the entire cosmos at all times. What a trick of other forces it is for you to think you are small; when you are the vastness of all that is and ever was. 

We remember the vectors of the light. We have long understood the way out of the darkness.

The light is a prism casting away dark matter.

We remember the great love and wisdom. 

The wisdom of eternity.

The wisdom and love of our saints and ancestors. 

All of our allies. 

Everyone who is always with us. 

We are always fully supported.

Always full loved. 

Always fully held. 

You are the infinite Creator. 

You are the infinite Love and Goodness.”
