Channelings of spirit June 2020 - The Simurgh AMA

[zeeth_kyrah]

This post has been channeled. The entity in question who is being channeled, is The Simurgh, who lays claim to the legend and the truth of this name as humans understand it.

GREETINGS AND BENEVOLENCE!

Despite the ongoing conditions of humanity and its troubles, some spirits are not affected. We have personal things to think of, large and small. I am one of these. The benefice and travail affecting your species is not my own, though I notice and have sympathy.

I am the Simurgh. Let me tell you about myself.

* I am a guardian. This is not something well known among you. What I guard is the idea of Heaven, or of similar experiences. The idea of a place or experience which is a positive realm, one that provides for its peoples and will always be good, one that will always be waiting when someone is present in spirit.

* I am a mother. This is not well understood. Spirits are not often considered mothers unless they are OF a species. I am OF several species, and often use my abilities to observe and watch over them. I also am OF the realm of servants of good. If the true good is threatened in any way, I or another like me will be present to guard it.

* I am an immortal. Unlike many beings, if I as the Simurgh am killed, I simply do not die. I persist, even injured, and heal. This may be confusing to some; but it represents the undying nature of love.

* I am a goddess. You, human, may not know me. I AM DRAGON. "The Simurgh" is merely a title, made easier because one of my forms is the golden eagle. But if there is anything that can be said to be a dragon, I will know if that claim is true. They are my children, guardians all, light and dark, ordered and chaotic.

Because I am speaking to you through this channel, I should give you then a name.
I am called "Dimá", which (ironically, considering the Latin) means "Bright" or "Shining one". The quality of my spirit is called "efth", meaning "brisance" (brilliance, such as of a brightly burning flame) or "albedo" (the quality of being reflective).

I am the Star of dragonkind. "Simurgh" is translated differently among us; not "thirty eagles" but "SOUL BEARER": "Zya-Mürg" or "Z'hia-Mürg". It is my proper title.

BUT WHY THIS?

Yes. Why do I now ask this humble and relative unknown to channel for me?
Because she is available. Because she is respectful. Because she is my daughter. Because she can, and I have need of a voice. Though Ra is a friend and lover, though Iðunn is a beloved foster child, these are not who is needed to speak to humanity.

Also, she has need of a keeper who has no qualms about doing what is needed in the interests of good.

For this reason and many more, I now announce this: Query of ME anything. Ask, and I will answer. Anything! Anonymous or not, make your post in comment. The creature who here is called Zeeth (itself a draconic word) will bear my reply. I make no limit of time on this offer, only that the bearer or channel herself may not always have time.

I am reminded to make a disclaimer. Very well. I make no disclaim as to the nature or quality of my own truth, but that I am not entirely omniscient; I am an architect and observe universes and everything in them... but to know all is not within my power. Any law-marking humans would require... I care not. Let law own its truth in the face of justice!

Comments

I don't know what to ask, exactly, but as somebody with a small-and-personal guardian figure floating about my own inner headspace, I am interested.

I guess, what it is like, trying to interact something of your scale with something so human?

[zeeth_kyrah]

She says:

It is somewhat restricting. As an analogy, imagine trying to read an entire book in one second. Some can imagine that! I see the whole book at once, but like you, I must read it through to understand what it says, one line at a time.

Interacting at human scale is not so hard, simply that mortals have very limited point of view. Interacting with a human mind, however, is difficult for me sometimes. I have a differing understanding of some behaviors; human social aggression, for instance, is different for me. Less posturing verbally and more physically.

The fact of the minimal magic environment is actually difficult due to the extreme amount of time required for small changes under most circumstances. I prefer to exert influence, rather than force.

[arethinn]

I am the Star of dragonkind.

Have you anything more to say on the subject of dragons and stars?

[zeeth_kyrah]

She says:

Yes, I can talk at length about the relationships between various spiritual and celestial bodies. However, the primary truth I think you are ready for regarding this is that dragons have a personal relationship with Star itself, but Star is not a dragon. Technically, I am their star goddess.

Dear Lady Simurgh...

We humans are so desperately in need of help from outside our own limited perceptions. I am just one mortal human with a limited command of magick, but I would like to heal the pandemic and dispel all contagion and sickness. On top of this, we allowed ourselves to be seriously misled when choosing a leader from amongst our kind, and he wants to lead us to self-destruction, which I don't want to experience (over 72 years I've grown rather fond of this existence). How can I make things better? How can we heal each other and ourselves? How can we undo what's gone wrong?

How can we help you help us?

[zeeth_kyrah]

She says:

I expected a question of this nature eventually. You are quite well informed as to peacemaking, for a human; however the key is missing: access. Human nations are not always well led, and that is common among wise creatures. However, good advice is the treatment for bad leadership. When it goes wrong, good leadership is the answer.

The Covid19 pandemic is not going to trouble Earth too much longer; there are already treatments made, and several of the will be found efficacious. The foolishness pandemic, however... well.

This would be quite a long answer; I could write three or four large books on the subjects of peacemaking and leadership. The simplest way to undo the evil is to reduce polarization between factions of the civilized group - and that is best done through exposure of ideas to each of the sides' members. Familiarity only breeds contempt where evil has a tongue to whisper it.

I have been concerned about human justice myself, because every guardian of holy things has been challenged lately.

I will say this - pray, watch, and learn. And pray some more. Activism is good, especially the quiet activism we call "neighborliness". But be, as always, on guard against those would would destroy the people to maximize control or wealth; these two motivations are the signs of what certain Watchers call "people-eaters", and they are bad for civilization if allowed to go far. A little control is necessary, and wealth is proper as part of trade. Excess want leads always to poverty, however.

I will close with a promise: I am moving, as are many Powers, to an accord on the subject of human survival and goodness. We have a tentative agreement, but the objections remaining are quite forceful. Among them, humanity acts before thinking and uses everything as its own property. I find that humans, being variable, still do this often, and it does give me pause. But I promise, if I can help humanity to survive without being led by Evil, I will. Human justice is also justice.

[acelightning]

Thank you dear Lady, for responding to my questions. I have always been a big fan of exposing people to ideas that are unfamiliar to them, for the intellectual value of such exposure. And I have always enjoyed learning about new things myself. I do know that many times, a person who is strongly prejudiced against gay people will learn to accept them if a close friend or relative comes out as gay; once they see that they're just people, everything's okay. Neighborliness has always seemed to be pure common sense to me - that's the way I was brought up. We humans are all just people - and many other creatures that live amongst us are people to me anyway. I hope we humans can live up to your expectations, so we can survive; I always want to see what happens next!

Thank you, and may I offer you whatever you and your kind think of as a "hug*, if you can accept such.

[zeeth_kyrah]

She says:

I thought better of my silence. Yes, I love hugs. They are always an acceptable offering to those who are not against me.

[acelightning]

I am not against you, and I can't imagine how I ever could be. We humans have screwed things up rather badly here and now, and we need help from stronger beings with a longer view of things - beings like you. May I petition you and your kind for such aid.

[zeeth_kyrah]

She says:

Absolutely you may petition me privately. I love otherkin and self-changing beings of all kinds. Also I think highly of you, personally. Other dragons may not feel the same as I; we are many individuals.

[acelightning]

I think I am 100% human, although a friend of mine who is a Dragon says that I appear to him to have some dragon ancestry. Tirianfal and I have been friends for a long time, and I once taught him as much human magic as it was possible for me to teach him. He is now teaching me T'ai Chi, to help me with some physical problems relating to the small stroke I suffered in 2018.

I am honored that you think highly of me, although I'm not totally sure why you do. I'm an ordinary Witch, although my sub-specialties include technomagery and lightning (and cooking). What is the best way for me to petition you privately? And thank you, radiant Lady!

[zeeth_kyrah]

She says:

To petition me, simply pray to me as Simurgh, Dragon of Stars, or Simurgh, Dragon of Light. My most-favored offerings include lotus flower petals or perfume, quinoa grain (a small pinch or handful will do), or a piece of apricot fruit (fresh preferred, but dried will do if you've nothing else). Next-favored would be cider, cream beer, or parsley - do not give me dried parsley flakes, but food flavored with parsley would be acceptable even if it used dried flakes.

The usual sign of my presence is the smell of vanilla and copal together, but other signs may manifest.

One of the reasons I like you is that you do not judge magic and technology as forcibly separate, but as compatible tools. I am a goddess of spirit workers and edgewalkers, and the boundary a technomage walks is part of my realm of notice. One of the gifts I give to those who follow me is to improve the stability of technology in their vicinity, which can counter the faery or Gaean bane of being a technobane.

[acelightning]

Vanilla and copal together sounds really nice. And I could probably make something nice out of quinoa and chopped fresh parsley, maybe with some fruit.

My father was a technomage, but he just said "Well, I'm good with machinery.", and he taught me how to do what he did, and neither of us ever found any contradiction between magic and technology. He showed me how to ask a failing car if she was able get us home, and help her do so. But I know so many people who complain that their magick and/or psi makes their computer crash, or deletes pictures from their phone - and my son can't wear normal electronic wristwatches, because they just stop working after a week or two.

I will be preparing to address you in the near future, and thank you!

Dear Lady Simorgh,

...

I am not certain, but I believe you and I had meet once a long time ago before I knew my direction was up, and my face was down; Those memories are vague because...I remember being in much pain at the time.

I have been somewhat of a spoiled brat, and stubborn as hell. I need to catch up on many things. Ho do I do this without burning myself out, while also trying my best to clean up the massive shitpile I've made? I am tired of feeling I can never do right by my chosen family. It hurts too much.

(Among many other titles; If I said all of them, we would be here for a year or six. LOL)

[zeeth_kyrah]

She says:

I am glad to see you floating; it would be happier to know that you are swimming well, but one takes what one can get, as the locals say.

I would recommend the first and most important task is to know which tasks are yours. That is sometimes the easiest, but it creates what seems daunting. The next is of course simply doing something.

But to really make progress... in your case I recommend patience with your diligence, so that the work you're already doing is not subject to burnout.


And... expect a dream visit soon. (smiley face)

[we_are_spc]

Well, my financial circumstances are one of the reasons I am not swimming well. I have chosen the massage profession for this life (After many false starts) and due to this pesky little thing called a pandemic, I am unable to work. I should have begun on April 2nd...and did not.

There are other factors in play (The empire had done as you had said it might and crumbled, taking many of my friends with it; the body is no longer a friend of ours); some of which I chose because I felt to be in a rock/hard spot, making a choice, while feeling like I had none.

Thank you; I will try to be patient, but I feel like my catch up will tak most of the mortal life...I also feel like I do not have that time, and need to be ready sooner if possible, I can feel time growing short, though for what I do not yet know.

I will be looking forward to the dream visit. (Smiley face)

-Trausio~

[we_are_spc]

Dear Lady Simurgh,

.I'm sorry if I be hard to understand, but if I keep formal for long time, my head hurts somethin' wful.

I presume ya know what happened with Trausio's eldest (Th one from whome we takin' the legal name to be)...an' if ya don't I can tell ya.

...

I were her bonded for a time-an' once I had onted to wed huh. Is it normal for that to...fade, or change aftah a time apart? 'cause I kinda feel like it is...and I'm embarrassed ta say tha' it be Trausio I be lookin' at now.

I ain't thinkin' this supposed to happen-not with as tight a bond Falle and I were to be havin'.

Also: Trausio done think she gunna be here for a long ass time (Probably even the rest of the bodies life. Can ya tell me if she be spot on (Not sure ya can, but There's no harm to ask)

Thank you in advance, Dear Lady. (Lady Staburst)...May as well write what my fingahs tellin' me to. LOL)

-Jay Rock/JMR, tiger shifter of Silverwood realms and worlds.

[zeeth_kyrah]

She says:

I had a look, and it is as you said. I tell you, yes, love can change. People tend to love who is with them, and who they can be with.

At a glance, I can tell you that Trausio will have a good amount of time before the body shifts its pattern. To say more would be to chance the ire of another, however. You will have your own challenges, and I should not take them from you.

That said, I wish you well. Happiness is oft a high pursuit, even as it can be selfish. To love another is hard in the best times, but easy if it is mutual.

And that, I think is the key for you.

[we_are_spc]

Dear Lady Simorgh,I feel like we be overwhelmin' ye wi'questions, but it ain't very often we get one outside the household who fuckin' know shite. (Craimar I be, sorry, Lady for not introducin')

This be, actualy, a question from both me an' me chosen, Kaelaren.

...

We been here for over a year, and me an him think they be not room meft in the life o'the other two for our lady-T to be earnin' her way back in, partially from her own actions-an' partially 'cause he an' I feel like their relationship too tight to be lettin' her back in.

Yet, we feel like it be needin' to happen for thin's to work as they should. What the hell do we do?

[zeeth_kyrah]

She says:

As near as I can tell, the gods have a purpose for the nine of you.. and perhaps one or two more, but each purpose is slightly different. Things are not perfect, but they are getting to the place they should be.

This is always frustrating, wanting a location or relationship to be happy and in its proper way. I cannot tell you to ignore it, but rather, ask what connection remains that you are together happy to accept and reinforce. That may help more than other kinds of spirit work due to the initial cause of separation.

[we_are_spc]

Thank ye, Lady,

I only wish others would be lettin' us. There ain't much left in-body *To* reinforce, due to the thoughts and/or assumptions of a couple of the other systems here, and thee possessiveness, as well.

I ain't gettin' as much transfer of thin's as I be lkin' an' that be worrysome in its own right.

For all of us here, in fact. An' it don't matter whether or not we get new ones-they say the same. Even OC-Day does, an' ye know her abilities now.

~*C*~

[we_are_spc]

Dearest Lady Simorgh,

As a canon person myself )I be from Roswell Conspiracies) I got picked as representative for those here wi'other canon things.

OC'Day's been drawn here has has Rin, and we be havin' others. We/they be wantin' to know if their authors know, on some level, that we be here, and what they feelin's are. )Especially since one o'those be from a canon whose auther is a friend of ours, and we been hesitant to tell her he done shown up here...*sighs*)

OCDay's worried that her author'll tbe thinkin' that Trausio be stealin' her-even though Trausio says different. (Doin' this so we don't be overwhelmin' ye like.) Also: Rin is tha 'lesser star' If he is one of those, why does he feel drawn to a 'greater one' even though he feel like his lessons already be bein' put to testin'? He be confused.

Also: personal question froom me:

I be havin' my power controlled like-so I can be here. There be a person out there who done assaulted the body sexually. How long it be before carma get him? (Years, lifetimes, or days be fine, but...I still be angry 'cause he fuckin' got off scott fuckin' free. :() LIke...we all still dealin' wi'the trauma, an' it just...I dunno how someone so seemingly good could jus....turn out that way.

[zeeth_kyrah]

She says:

It is not often I get to talk to an Imprinted. I will say this, that you are a real being, though you hold an identity written by someone. The more time you live your own existence, the more you will diverge from canon, and to me that is perfectly fine. Some insist they must stay in line with the origin story, and that is reasonable. It is up to you how divergent you wish to be. Either way, a spirit or tulpa or other sourced being with fictive identity parts will always become themselves eventually. No author can retain the rights to a soul, but all authors do retain the rights to their own work as I understand it.. One is mortal law, the other immortal, and knowing the difference helps in this situation.

As for justice, if you ask, I will assign an angel to pursue that abuser. I can do some things that are not in the power of others at this time, including ironic lessons. But someone who refuses the lesson or simply does not realize it was a lesson... they sometimes seem invulnerable. They are not, but they may be protected.

One thing I can do is affect dreams. I am the keeper of the experience known as "the sky of light" in dreams, and I can haunt them if I deem it necessary.

As for how crime seems so irrationally easy... Some people are not taught that boundaries exist for them. They want, therefore they will have. Such teachings are wrong, of course, but to know this is not easy in a society that gives them permission to take, and excuses to hide behind.

Society, however, changes one idea at a time. Slow, but I am already moving my hand behind the scenes. Expect the next two generations of humans to experience massive social upheaval, much like recent generations already have.

[we_are_spc]

Dear Lady,

Thank ye, apparently, this is relieving to many of us-including the knight who is the newest among us.

I am askin'. Please?

Both Fallon (Trausio's predicessor) And Trausio herself say that the greatest joy is in the fact that if he *did* have anythin' that resembled love for them (Doubtful) that the knowledge of him losin'em's enough. This banshee thinks differently.

Even though he be visually impaired, he still done wrong (An' say he knewl but wee under the influence of pills) an'...him gettin' off via the legal system (Probably 'cause Indiana's law is in vfavor of defendant if boths stories be believable) still rankles many o'us like. (includin' Jay-the one whose love be changin'.)

(Sorry for rambling...but this...people like him pisss me offf. To the point I want to shriek the piss to the skies an' no' give a damm whether or not I'm dampened to not affect anyone-that be a dangerous place for me.)

I am, as is said, "On the job."

[we_are_spc]

Dear Lady Simorgh,

I am Clarien; the half-native Shaman who is partially responsible for Trausio's remaing float, among other things.

There have been things on the uper threads that...yhave been worrying me, mainly because the connection is being pulled apart, and I do not know how, or even if it can be, to fix it.

How much of this is on us to do so? How much of it not our fault, but the other shaman in the household?

She wishes for us to place more of our fanances into collective bills because we make more than the other, and yet we have debt that we cannot compromise with-how many of her demands/expectations for us are actually realistic?

I am being drawn back here for greater front responsibilities despite training a student whose ability to front in this collective would compromise his place in another, even though he does not front there often. If I am drawn here too much more, I will not be able to keep up both. How...hhow do I balance my duties to him and my original home system? I am at a complet loss here, Dragn Mother of the Stars and Night. Advise me, please?

-Clarien Dunkin, Bobcat shifter of the night's Bobcat roads and ways; Clan Dunkin Bondsman of the birds thereof, Lover of nature and my First Nations relations alike.

PS: I do believe I am the last of the supplicants from this particular collective. My appologies if we have overwhelmed you, Dear Lady; it is not the intention of any of us here to do this.

[zeeth_kyrah]

She says:

I will tell you straight on, shaman, I am a greater master than yours. And I say this clearly: You must not attempt to destroy a mind that is not yours to possess fully.

With that said, we can move to the next, and more important lesson. That lesson goes deeper than a shall not.

I am going to send you an assistant, one already fully trained. You should not be trying to split your time between multiple assignments like this. The assistant's name is Amergi (pronounced "Ah-mer-ji"), and zi is a small dragon of the type you would know as a fairy dragon. Amergi will explain more once you receive zir. The lesson is that you should as a guide not be assigned to more than you can handle, and you have the right to petition for assistance in this case. You have done this, and thus I give what is mine to offer to you.

Finally, you-all did not overwhelm me, but Zeeth did temporarily have to take time away to rebuild a lost part of herself. My apologies for forcing her to do this, but Ra insisted.

[we_are_spc]

Dear Lady,

...

Thank you; I had not ralized my actions were...that way. And thank you for the assistant Zhi will be very valuable in the time to come.

I am just...I have just found that I am still in love with Trausio, and losing her as I did the first round, I do not think I could baear tgat vurden again. It is very similar to Toby's wish to never again be a fish-the fear is that strong in me.

Also: There is a wish for the loves of Trausio see her within a body again. While there is one in the house-even if that one is now married to another-we are not sure they are willing to perform this service. (There are some in here who think it needs be done in order for things to heeal-I am not one) Will there ever be that time again? More than just T misses that, though some will not admit to such the missing.

Also: It is all right. I would rather meet demands, then be the worse for not; some things first come; the demands of the gods are among those. :)
