Wisdom from the Animals

“Each one of us has a gift to give in changing the collective consciousness. No matter how strange or insignificant it may seem, there is purpose in all beings. We don’t have to understand it, just be it. Be your authentic self…be your purpose”.

“We know how hard (our person) is trying, but it would benefit us all if you would find more time for yourself…a quiet time for inner reflection.  There is much to find inside that can help one find peace throughout the day.  I especially feel what you are feeling, but please know that what you do is important work, just as mine is.”

 ”Allowing the stresses of others to invade your being can only bring harm and perpetuate more stress.  Know that  all that is occurring around you is exactly how it must be.  Trust that your part, as all parts, are more important to the ‘big picture’ than you can imagine.  Play your part to the best of your ability and let others play theirs.  It may not look like you want it to, but it is playing out perfectly and for a higher purpose.”

 ”Hold this information in your heart every waking moment, and it will ease your worries to nothingness and turn them into peace, joy and happiness.”

“The power of self resides within your heart center and can only truly be used from that place.”  

“Giving your power to another is a false belief…it can never be removed from your heart center, only masked by false beliefs that another can take it.”

(I asked Baba what is it that manifests the mysterious sores on his body…) 

“It has to do with the life that is now, nothing from my past.  When [my person] is happy, I’m  happy…when she is less-than-happy, I feel that too.  She chooses to live a life that is less-than-happy and this is very taxing on her physical body.  If I did not help with her emotional strain, she would be very ill and her life would be even less-than-less-than-happy.  This I must do or she may die, and it is not her time.  She has yet to find her really joyful place in the world, but she has not chosen to find it yet.” 

“When [my person] is feeling her emotional strain the strongest is when I take it from her, and allow my body to release it.  It is done in this way so it is obvious to the eye. Now [my person] knows why and she will be forced to notice what is happening within her more fully.” 

“Maybe now she will choose to find her joyful place, and maybe she won’t.  Either choice is for her to make.  As for me, I continue my quest to assist [my person] in this life…no matter how she chooses to live it.  And when she is ready for living in her joyful place, that is when our best work will begin, for as we lift up ourselves, we lift up the whole planet.  Every moment we live in joy we are vibrationally ‘lightening the load’; the burdens that each being carries weighs down the planet.  It is soon time for her [Earth] to be lifted to a place of enlightenment and joy and we will be part of that. Whenever you are ready [his person's name]…we can begin.”

(Shuma is speaking of her cat companion Sophie, who does not get along with Shuma, therefore creating disharmony in the house.)

“I come from a place of peacefulness and wish only to live this way, but it is a very difficult place to be in this environment.  It is much like the outer world…we must learn to always be in a state of peacefulness even amongst the chaos in order to create a peaceful world.  This is my lesson and my teaching.” 

“It is important for me to be here to not only learn how to harmonize with the chaos and turn it into love, but to teach the same to others who will see it, including Sophie.  I do nothing to instigate conflict and yet she perceives me as a threat, just by my presence.  It feels unfamiliar to her and therefore creates feelings of fear and anxiety.  I cannot help her with this…she must work it out for herself.” 

[Sophie] represents how many in the world are…set and safe in their conformity to certain rules and what is familiar.  Experiencing [anything] outside their comfort zone feels threatening and therefore they sense the need to resist or be angry towards it, even if their heart is trying to tell them that this new path is the way to travel.”

 ”I represent the ways of peace and that harmony among all must be achieved in order to bring health back to the planet.  Those who wish to create this find battlegrounds, no matter how peacefully they exist, from those full of fear of change and those who no longer think for themselves but instead follow ones who they trust as wiser and all knowing.  They have forgotten that what is within each one of them is wiser than [anything] outside of themselves.”

 ”We each play a role in the manifestation of what lies ahead.  We can choose to live in a place of fear and hate, therefore feeding more of that thinking into the world, or we can choose to look within and listen to our hearts which are trying so hard to harmonize with all beings.  The latter is our true nature and does not require a fight, but only requires that we allow it to exist.”

“The Buffalo People were strong in their numbers in times past and for a purpose, as all things have purpose. We helped to sustain two-legged peoples who lived by the old ways. We were respected and acknowledged for our powers of survival, as we respected and acknowledged those that we helped to survive.”

“There was an agreement long ago amongst all beings to use only what was needed and to waste nothing. This way of living supported all creatures in the cycle of life and death, and there was much honor in it. It was a good agreement. But, eventually that changed and there was waste in the name of greed across the lands. The ways of harmony failed to be understood by those that ravaged the hills and took the two-legged peoples who held all things sacred.”

“This sadness was not just brought into the Great Time of the Buffalo, but has evolved in some form all over the Earth at different times. It continues at its worst today.”

“The misunderstanding of purpose in all things cannot continue. The survival of all requires that all survive. As different species of creatures and plant life disappear, a hole forms in the Great Weave, weakening it and causing instability. Nature is strong and manages to make adjustments, but as the holes increase in numbers so must nature compensate in bigger ways.”

“Man must regain the understanding that all things have purpose to all other things. We are woven together in such intricate ways that for many it is impossible to see the connection, but that is truly where the problem lies…man has forgotten to FEEL the fabric connecting his brothers of land, sea and air. He has forgotten to feel what they feel by his every action. It would benefit all for man to stop the desecration and return to the old agreement. It was a good agreement.”

(One of his family members could not be there to say goodbye and she needed some closure.  This was his message) 

“You have your reality and I have mine now, but this is when being together becomes possible. You only need think of me and I will be there. Breathe me into your heart…just think of me and take a gentle deep breath and you will feel me there with you, as part of you. It’s really as simple as that.”

“There is only need to say goodbye to the physical part of me…I have already done so with ease, for I understand my beingness now. It is important for all of you to say goodbye to my physical presence in your planned ritual, for it is difficult to understand what I am now…Oneness and Love in everything and everywhere. You are this too, but it is so difficult to see through the veils you wear. But, that is part of the physical experience. It keeps things interesting, doesn’t it?”

“I ask of you two things: At the ritual, together, please breathe me into your hearts in the manner that I mentioned before. You will find it very powerful and you will all be able to feel me there with you…together as Oneness and Love. I ask you to do this again as you release my ashes back to the Earth as she greets the morning.”

“Do not think of our parting as goodbye, but as a new beginning…the rest of my journey is just starting and so is yours.”

“We most appreciate the opportunity to be with [our person] and to serve her, just as she serves us. We cannot walk through this life and not realize how we all touch each other, back and forth, give and take, give and take.”

All beings have boundaries. This demands respect of those boundaries. Some are not clear about where their boundaries lie. Get clear! Knowing when to say no - stop, is a healthy way to live. “

“Knowing and expressing your boundaries lets others know what your boundaries are. It gives them the opportunity to know how far they can go with you. It commands a respect that we all deserve [for ourselves and from others].”

“Humans put so much importance on where they are and who they are instead of  why they are and how they are being.”
