Images of Nature Spirits as they go about their business are rather elusive.
Those included in this book are either from my pictures taken or ones I have downloaded free from Pixabay.

A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe,
a part limited in time and space.
He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.
This delusion is a kind of prison for us,
restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us.
Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.

There are many other unseen energies and their inhabitants intertwined within our third dimensional reality. This section relates to some of the different types of inhabitants, the little people of the nature world; those who nurture and take care of all we see growing in our gardens, our forests, and all part of our present reality. They encompass the nature spirits of fairies, elves, gnomes, elementals and others who take care of the environment and its inhabitants but there are also others.
Discussions with the teachers will encompass some of those other energies who minister specifically to Mother Earth's needs. They are the energies whose domains take in the oceans, mountains and all that we see in this reality.
Sharing with you my various incidents might jog your memory enabling remembrance of similar ones you have experienced. It is also to encourage all readers to extend their perceptions past their normally functioning five senses and see and experience for themselves a wonderful, vibrant other reality with the tiny inhabitants going about their daily activities; living their life mostly in complete oblivion of us living ours.
26
It is one thing to hear about these other realities that coexist with us but how do we achieve going beyond our five senses way of seeing so we can see them for ourselves? And when an altered state of consciousness is mentioned, what does it mean? It is often suggested to soften our gaze or eyes but how is that achieved?
All questions are valid to attain our objectives and the answers are better understood if we realize that our normal sight is like a camera lens where we focus on an object to see it clearly. However it is not used to see other normally unseen realities and their inhabitants that coexist with us. It is when we focus intently that our eyes act like laser beams so the little nature spirits hide to avoid being burned.
They, the other unseen inhabitants, are noticed more often when we are in a daydream state. It is then our sight is less focused and we have activated and are using our third eye, or brow chakra and not our physical eyes or sight.
Because we are so used to seeing by using our physical sight to look outward at some object and our inner perception is similar that we may think we are still looking outward but it isn't so. It can even be better to connect with and see hidden realms with eyes closed.
We can achieve success in activating whichever of our five senses we use by first imagining a scene, something like we do in a meditation. In this way we initiate our brow charka or inner vision.
Any connection or seeing can be spontaneous; as we immerse our self and thoughts in the beauty of our inner surroundings. This changes our vibrations and sets the mood or stage for any connection we achieve. We have five senses to work with on this dimension but not all people connect to other realities in the same way and any of the five senses can be activated at any time.
As an example, when a friend and I would go for a country walk near our homes we would find a comfortable spot to sit quietly and absorb whatever was there in an attempt to shift our consciousness so we resonated to a different vibration, more receptive to seeing any nature spirits.
My friend used to sense/see while my inner vision, clairvoyance, was activated. At the time my understanding didn't encompass just how my friend could see in her way but when we relayed back our experiences it was the same image being seen. I still don't really understand my friend's way of seeing but think it must be somehow like vision impaired people are able to 'see'.
Others have mentioned intuitively 'feeling' what is there and it activates their inner vision in some way. They didn't know how it happens and perhaps it could be that it is somehow done through their aura. Perhaps it is a little like blind people are able to 'see' or 'feel' to navigate around objects like furniture. We are all diverse and function in different ways with our five senses.
Because my favorite scenery is of the rainforests that is what is activated many times. Friends prefer to be by the ocean.
Whatever is chosen at the time we need to remember that the little folk are ethereal while we, wearing a denser, third dimensional covering do not resonate to the same vibration or wave length.
People who have successfully activated their inner vision sometimes find it difficult to believe they are seeing into another dimension and think what they are seeing is 'just' their imagination. For this reason it is suggested not to automatically dismiss what is seen with eyes closed. If it hasn't been brought it into awareness by previous thinking it is unlikely to be creative imagination activating it.
A suggestion offered to help; try to change whatever you are seeing with your inner vision. Perhaps try to change the color of clothing being worn by one of the nature realm inhabitants, the size of trees, anything being seen. If you cannot make any changes then you are successfully activating your inner sight.
My awareness of seeing other normally unseen realities, is as stated, done by my inner vision but is often first noticed as if it is from my normal side vision. My attention then brings whatever is being seen forward and the images appear to the front as with normal vision.

The fairy spirits who are working in our gardens usually don't take any notice of humans as they work busily behind the scenes. However they will respond to harmonious and loving thoughts directed at them by those who appreciate the work being done.
A woman client previously unknown to me came for a consultation. We sat across from each other and, as we talked, chit chat to relax her and for me to connect to her energy, my inner vision was activated. The image shifted from my consulting room to my client's backyard and as the image was relayed to the woman, she was able to validate what was being said.
Her yard was small and everything growing looked healthy and verdant.
What was also been shown were the fairies, their beautiful little ethereal forms almost translucent in the sun. My client had no idea there were fairies in her garden but was happy to hear they were there. She said a lot of time was spent in her garden as she tended the plants. 'My happy place' she called it.
There is a misunderstanding that fairies shun places where crowds of humans are going about their daily lives; busy cities and favor the natural landscape more. The nature spirits are wherever their charges are and will respond to human thoughts.
It is said that they can be mischievous if provoked and some activities in a home thought of as poltergeist activities may well be caused by the nature spirits responding to disharmony in a home.
Nature spirits of the four elements are able to change their size and will do so to suit their needs. They can do almost anything within their own element but cannot change to another element. A gnome, for example, cannot change into a fairy or visa-versa.
Each country is said to have nature spirits who often like to look and clothe themselves as the people of the area. I have not seen any dressed in modern clothing and have never seen any country's indigenous nature spirits. Any seen by me were wearing in what we recognize such as leprechauns and from children's story books.
So as an overview: the nature spirits and those of the four elements are etheric, not of this third-dimension reality even though they look after the natural world here. For each one of the four elements of earth, air, fire and water are nature spirits and elementals that are created from and belong to the ether, an element finer than the air we breathe.
But there are others.

A Little Green Something.
Live in the sunshine,
swim the sea,
drink the wild air.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
o0o
I would like your opinion on what happened to me during a meditation. In the meditation I was wandering peacefully along a rain forest path. It had filtered light along the way and leaves had come off the trees and made that lovely earthy, compost smell.
Wandering by a small embankment, I sensed a little green something fall in just behind me and stay there. From out of the corner of my eyes it seemed to be about nine inches tall and, from memory, was dressed in green leaves. I continued on with this little energy seemingly walking somewhere behind me and finished my meditation.
I didn't think any more about it until weeks later when visiting an alternative healer friend to have some energy balancing done. It was she who mentioned this little earth energy, a nuisance she said that saps a human's energy and is very hard to get rid of. I had forgotten about the incident but part of the reason for my visit to my healer friend was because of depletion of energy. She managed to remove the little energy but it took her took some time.
Now, it was during a meditation when the little energy attached itself to me. I was in an altered state of consciousness so how was the little energy able to attach itself and affect my physical body?
Just because you were in an altered state of consciousness does not alter what we are about to say. These altered states of consciousness are very much a part of your existence here but your conscious, earthly sight mainly blocks them from your countenance. This is done because it would be too confusing to you to see all around and not function in the way you have become used to in this physical body.
These altered states are still 'you' and remain that way therefore even though you cannot see them with your present physical sight, they still exist and you can be attacked and have attachments as was the case you enquire about. It is through these 'altered states', if you like, that your healer friend was able to rid your countenance of the little 'hanger-on'
if that is the way you choose to see it.
And this is the way we can have other experiences that are not on this physical plane but have an effect on the physical body?
Yes, it is the right way to see it.
I will finish now but thank you for the information you have provided today.
It is our way, to offer service to those keen to learn and understand more of what is affecting them and why. You have a small taste of what is to come, what is to be felt, experienced along the way. We will speak more on this at a more convenient, to you, time.

The Happy Lavender Bush.
Everything you can imagine
is real.
Pablo Picasso.
o0o
Before we discuss the elves and gnomes I would appreciate your comment on another experience that occurred when attending a meeting at a friend's home at Southport, Queensland. Walking slowly past a lavender bush I could, with my inner hearing, (clairaudience), hear it dancing merrily in the breeze. It was happily singing as a child might. ' La, de da, de da' was coming from the bush as its top jigged to and fro. Possibly it thought no one could hear its happy little tune, because it stopped in apparent shock when I mentally spoke saying ' Hello little lavender. You seem happy today’. I waited for the bush to continue its happy song but it stayed quiet so I moved on.
You were able to contact the energy of the lavender bush and allow it to acknowledge your understanding of its way.
Unfortunately it was shocked, because never before has a human being responded to any gestures made by it, let alone its melody. You communicated one to one, but it was not able to respond because it didn't know how. You can and it can't.
Do you understand?
I think so. Thank you.

A Gathering of Gnomes.
There are only two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as though everything is
Albert Einstein
o0o
At one time our small group took part in a meditation at a cottage somewhere near the base of Mt Warning in New South Wales. It is lush country with mountains surrounding a deep valley. We had finished our meditation and our small group were standing on the verandah, having a break while drinking freshly made chai tea.
We were talking, nothing too intense, just enjoying the atmosphere and beauty of the area. We were very relaxed and without realizing it I was looking with my normal physical sight but also with my inner vision as well. Standing on the verandah with us and listening to our words of appreciation were maybe half a dozen gnomes. They were about four feet (1metre 20cm) and were dressed in belted deep green long shirts, over long pants that were tucked into boots. They came over to me and, curious, patted my energy body. Would you elaborate on this experience please?
Yes, what you saw was indeed a small band, gathering of gnomes. They are the instigators, the energies that look after the wild life as well as the vegetation. They were there and have existed there for a long time - in your sight we are meaning to say.
Thank you.

The Hinterland Gnome.
Change yourself and you have done your part
in changing the world.
Paramahansa Yogananda

Another experience that comes to mind happened during a visit to a mountain area in the Queensland Gold Coast hinterland. My partner and two friends we were with had decided to go for a walk with me choosing to stay behind with our picnic gear.
Other people were sharing the picnic area and, casually observing them, I must have drifted into an altered state of consciousness. My attention was drawn to something moving on my right. It was what appeared to be a gnome, but this one was dressed in a brown tunic and pants. He ignored everyone there and perhaps they didn't see him. He walked up to a nearby large tree and stepped into it. As he did, he elongated and became part of the trunk of the tree. Would you provide us with more information about that experience please?
We can furnish that. He was indeed the spirit of the tree. He did as you saw but he also does much more. He tends to nearby trees also, those who are in his care. He provides sustenance, of the type coming from the earth or the sky (rain?) but other sustenance - more of an energy power boost so to say.
In Australia, like other parts of our world, we have droughts, floods and bush fires. Trees, like us, have their allocated time here. How does this all fit in with what the gnome does and where does he go in times such as those mentioned?
It is all as you say; there is a time-frame allocation for all. But again, we speak of other issues here. He is there to minister to the trees' needs. He does not fuss when they are subject to invasion of the insect kind. He does not fret when his charges die for he knows the limits of earthly matter and is of accord. He goes on to other needs, other trees, ministering and issuing his charges with health and well-being.
Then if any of his charges are invaded by insects, he does not try to interfere?
No, that is not his way. He issues all he is able from the energy of the sun, moon and stars, but he does not interfere with the natural flow of life. Insects and their likes are part of the particular life cycle of some trees. It would be wrong for any other influence to intrude, no matter what the best intentions were.
32
So he does not play favourites and instead lets nature take its course?
That is what is meant to be and he follows through.
Thank you.

Do Nature Spirits Dress to Suit Their Charges?
Some infinities are bigger
than other infinities.
John Green.

At the same place where the lavender bush is growing is a huge fig tree. In it were little gnomes or elves peeking from the branches of some of the big limbs. Now, the hinterland gnome was dressed in brown, the gnomes from the lush forest were in deep green tunics and the little elves or gnomes in the fig tree were in a lighter green. My question then is, do nature spirits dress to suit the appearance or colour of their charges?
Yes, that is the way it is. They dress this way to accommodate the needs, the varieties of all their charges. So, if there was vegetation that was mottled, shall we say, they [the gnomes and elves] would dress of accord.
Is that as a camouflage?
It might go that way but we think not. It is more as an accommodation, an affinity, if you like that they dress this way.
So, when forests are cut down in the name of progress, how does that affect the nature spirits? Where do they go when their charges are gone?
Again, we are going to speak of other avenues you may not have considered. Their charges are gone, yes, yet they, the nature spirits as you refer to them, live on. They do not go away. To your sight they are gone, but it is now replacements of energies of other sorts that have existed in time but now come to the fore. They minister to their needs now.
I don't understand and would appreciate more information, please.
Then we go another way. There are other energies that are all around. Sometimes progress, by natural progression, brings them to the fore. It is this example we are referring to. Your Mother Earth is not static, nor is she unable to adapt to changes that are wrought upon her countenance. Sometimes, in the case you refer to, they are needed to move her on to her next stage of development.
We are stating, do not see all changes with progress a blight upon your Mother Earth, for it is not the way. Many times progress is needed for changes to take place for all, the human race included. It would be a sad day and world if everything, all energies, did not grow.
34
Do you not see this with your seasons? Your trees, plants, shuck off their leaves and go into hibernation of sorts. They then manifest again in the spring in all their glory to behold. It is the way it is meant to be and you, human beings, are a part of a glorious plan; a plan that moves all forward.
What about all the damage we, as humans, are doing to Mother Earth? What about the animals we displace? Some species we are told are now extinct, some dying out even and we, like them, are the losers? What about that?
Yes, you can see it that way but we show another way. We do not condone wanton slaughter upon your planet but what we do say is that necessary changes need to be. Your dinosaurs are an example of progress taking place. Many other species have been and gone the same way. It is all part of natural progression.
And you, humanity, are set to follow on one day. It is how it is with all. The nature world and their mentors are of the same kind. They, like you, are destined to come and go as a natural progression of all. They do not go away and are forgotten. They live on but in another way, just as you, earthlings, are the same kind. You go forward, progress naturally and it is the way it is all meant to flow.
Thank you.

How do the Nature People Produce Offspring?

Today we could continue with the nature world and have your comments on how gnomes and elves are created. As an example; surely a mother does not give birth to an old looking baby?
No, that is not the way at all. A human child, a newborn child will be as you say, young and in need of care and attention.
It is not the same way with a child gnome or elf. They are not produced as you and your progeny are. They come a different way. Their way is of the earth because they are of the earth and stay that way. Yours is of the stars, so to say, and you return that way. It is entirely different yet you are the same.
You are the same, united, different parents, different energy flows, but all are one. You balance each other out if you like to see it that way. You bring with you to Earth the elements of the stars, the galaxies and such: the earth elements offer more to your kind by way of 'earthiness', of balancing the two ratios, so to say. In this way, with this, the elements are served because each contributes what they are capable of and what they achieve is brought about by a communion of sorts; each contributing to the all.
It is understandable that the earth energy little people are not created as humans are and understandable that we each have what the other lacks, so we supply each other with what is needed or required. You also meant that we humans, because we come from the stars, that means our energy bodies are lighter than the nature spirits. We incarnate to other places than Earth while the nature people stay on Earth. Did I get that right?
Yes, succinctly.
Do they incarnate then?
In the right and proper way for them, but not necessarily as for you earthlings.
Not meaning to sound difficult, but you called us earthlings. Isn't that a bit confusing to have us, as light beings, being called that while the nature spirits could be considered more along the way? Am I being too pedantic today?
36
It is the way it is. You are earthlings whilst you are here on planet Earth. We see no problem with that, so it is so that you are being 'pedantic', as you say.
My apologies then. Just wanted to make sure I fully understood what you were saying.
You understand and comprehend perfectly at this juncture. We are trying to advance you on and understand that you want to start 'from scratch', as you say. We know and accept this, but do not become enamoured with staying with the earth energies, for we have much to learn, to teach, to get you up to speed. You only have so much time to complete this task and then you are gone. Do not shilly-shally with the precious time left to you to complete your mission.
Well, I was going to ask about fairies next. Should we abandon that idea?
No, complete the task you set for yourself, just do not become enamoured with the scenery of what is around, what you see with your inner sight and lose yourself there.
Okay, fairies, like the gnomes and elves tend to the nature world. I believe they tend to the flowers. Is that correct?
Yes, that is so. They also tend to other avenues too. The bees that tend the flowers come under their care, as do the other little insects you see connecting to the flowers. Their growth is paramount, tied to the flowers. It is the way all succeed and grow.
Thank you.

Do Gnomes and Elves Ever Grow Old?

The gnomes: I've seen ones that appear old, healthy, but old. A
younger group were the ones dressed in green in the rain
forest; let's say they were middle aged. Then there are the little
elves that are to me like children. Would you like to discuss the age factors? We grow old, what about the nature spirits?
Do they start out as elves and become gnomes as they grow older?
No, that is not the way. They start out along the lines you saw.
Older ones were along that line all along. They did not change
with age. The 'younger ones', as you say, were also along that
way. The elves are a different breed again. They do change over time but think, have you ever seen an older elf?
No, but there was never any thought about it until you mentioned it. What happens to them? Do they age?
We feel now we have you scratching your head, metaphorically speaking so we will leave it for another day.
Thank you.

Following A Path Little Understood.
Worry is like sand in an oyster;
a little produces a pearl,
too much kills the animal.
Marceline Cox.
o0o
Do all the insecticides and chemicals we have used over the
years and continue to use, have they decimated the nature
spirits of gnomes, elves and fairies as it has done to the bees,
the birds and insects who are so necessary for our survival?
No, it is not the way. You are thinking third dimensional and the little folk of the forests are not third dimensional although they take care of the nature world you inhabit. They are saddened by what they see but understand it is what you call progress and needs to follow a path you are little
understanding.
Your answer truly surprises me. Are you saying that while they are not condoning, they are accepting of what they see?
Yes, it follows a path they understand for they see how nature changes seasonally and to their mind they accept that this follows the same way.
They don't hold us responsible?
No, why would that be the way. They follow the laws of nature, of the seasons and this follows the same way.
Thank you. It is something I have long wondered about.
