Oracle of Divine Grace

There may be some thoughts I share today that some people find a bit “out there,” but sometimes we simply need to remain open. When we do, we often discover a nugget of gold hidden among the rocks.

My husband and I have spent the last few weeks doing our spring yard cleanup. We have finally diverged from our shared projects, and now I am focused on one particular goal.

Those who have followed my blog have heard me speak of Oscar, my Tree of Light.

Oscar is the last tree standing on our homesite. Although our backyard overlooks a beautiful natural area, the soil erodes easily. Most of the trees once grew along the edge of the slope, and over time they have fallen, succumbed to disease, or simply declined. Long before we moved here, someone planted ice plant in an attempt to stop the erosion. Unfortunately, ice plant is highly invasive in California. Rather than helping, it overtakes native plants and trees, depriving them of water, nutrients, and space to thrive.

When I began working with the Hope Corridor, an energy corridor connected to the Earth’s grids, Oscar came into my awareness as the spirit, or deva, who embodies the tree. I knew that if I wished to honor that connection, I needed to help preserve his physical form.

Last year, I cut a path through the waist-high ice plant and cleared space around Oscar. I watered and fed him, and soon he began putting out leaves again. Life was returning.

Over the winter, however, the ice plant came back. The clearing also allowed Queen Anne’s lace to flourish around him. Yet Oscar had grown stronger. His branches had extended upward, and I knew that if I continued helping him, he could survive and thrive.

The challenge is that I will probably never eliminate the ice plant completely. There is simply too much of it. All I can realistically do is keep cutting it back.

For those who do not care much about gardening, trees, or outdoor work, this may sound rather boring. Yet there is something important to understand.

Trimming back the ice plant and Queen Anne’s lace around Oscar will likely take me at least five days. The many layers of ice plant are nearly three feet thick in places, and the area stretches roughly thirty feet by fifteen feet. Removing it entirely is beyond my physical ability, and hiring someone is both difficult and beyond my budget.

Still, because I have come to know the energy and presence that are Oscar, I willingly do the work.

Trees are connected. The closer they grow, the stronger the energetic and physical connections they share. Their root systems often intertwine, so when one suffers, the surrounding community is affected as well.

Oscar brings light into the Hope Corridor and into the Earth. Through the living grid of the aquifer, plants, animals, elemental forces, and unseen beings, he serves as a point of connection. He maintains relationships with the nearby hills and mountains, and through the greater web of life, he connects to the ocean and its inhabitants as well.

To me, Oscar is like the coordinator of the home node of the Hope Corridor.

The Hope Corridor itself connects to grids, ley lines, dragon lines, serpent lines, megalithic sites, portals, gateways, and ancient libraries around the world. It all began with establishing my own personal corridor of light and gently expanding it outward. As I did so, I became increasingly aware of the many forms of life and consciousness that surround us.

I even connected with a wonderful guide, a Yeti whom I call Lars. Later, as my work with the unseen realms deepened, another Yeti presence arrived here whom I call Thomas.

When we open ourselves to the unseen realms, we often discover they have been waiting for us all along. If we never open, they are still there. They simply whisper through the wind, offer signs, and patiently hope that one day we will listen.

All life is One within Source. That includes the elements, rocks, soil, plants, trees, animals, insects, and even beings we may not physically see.

You may not hear them or see them, but perhaps you feel them. Perhaps you sense that they need something, or that they are trying to show you something.

The key is not to immediately doubt yourself.

Go into your stillness. Say, “I AM HERE.” Open your heart and allow yourself to trust what you genuinely sense, feel, or perceive. The more you learn to trust those quiet impressions, the more your awareness expands.

That teaching could be an entire story unto itself, and perhaps I have drifted somewhat from my original tale.

Oscar is important.

In truth, all trees are important.

I am clearing the way for Oscar to live and thrive. I do not use chemicals near him, nor do I wish to contaminate the soil and groundwater with poisons. Natural methods are my preference.

If I cannot eradicate the ice plant, then perhaps we are learning how to coexist.

I had to learn how to live alongside the raccoons so they would not destroy everything around the house, overturn the garbage cans, and completely take over the cats’ food. We eventually found a workable balance. Perhaps the same is true here.

I have never particularly enjoyed the hard work of weeding, but I love the results when everything is clear, healthy, and thriving.

The same can be said for removing the personal weeds we call limiting beliefs.

The process is not always easy, but the results are freeing.

That does not mean those beliefs disappear from the world. They still exist within mass consciousness, waiting for an opportunity to resurface. Yet once we have tasted freedom, we recognize them when they appear.

When we remain diligent in our peace, mindfulness, and inner alignment, there are fewer openings through which they can affect us.

The same is true of my work around Oscar.

If I cannot eliminate every weed, I can still maintain a healthy boundary that allows him to thrive. The weeds may exist, just as the raccoons exist, but they do not need to take over.

And so I continue my chore with as much ease and gratitude as I can muster, knowing that I am helping another Being of Light survive and flourish.

Perhaps that is one of life’s great lessons.

We may not be able to remove every challenge from the world, but we can lovingly tend the places entrusted to our care. In doing so, we create space for life, light, and beauty to grow.

I AM HERE.
