I was recently recalling a captivating posting of a young woman living the van life, posing with her snake. I immediately went back to my initial thoughts and concerns of what kind of life is that for the snake, does she just have him/her to get attention, is there any consideration of them? I was hoping it wouldn’t encourage others to get a snake and put them in captivity in an effort to look or seem cool or different. And also some hope that it could be a way for the snake to speak, to be seen and heard, for people to see not to fear or hate them, to not encourage more fear and therefore more captivity. My constant concern of animals kept in captivity was “captivating” my attention, you could say. I distinctly heard - “If you hold anyone in captivity, you hold yourself in captivity too. If you hold anyone, any one, in any way in captivity - you hold yourself there too.” And then they went on to further explain.

Not as in captivated, as in capturing your attention in an interesting, uplifting way, as in captivate-ion - of the light - but as in limitation. Limitation versus expansion. To hold in captivity is to limit, to separate and therefore limit and separate yourself - versus captivation which allows for expansion, to expand into, to be held in and part of the light. Captivity is to try to hold, constrict the light into yourself or into or away from another. This is what happens when you start thinking outside of the light - why this constant call to RE-COGNIT-ION, right? Recognizing, seeing, thinking OF THE LIGHT FIRST, not outside or separate or away from or one closer than another, trying to shine more light upon yourself by how you control and separate and put others into captivity.

LOOK AT HOW YOU SHINE YOUR LIGHT AND WHAT YOU SHINE YOUR LIGHT UPON. Look at what you are seeing and recognizing as the first in everything. For if it is not light, then it is not true, it is not whole, it is not expansive which makes it limited and contracted and dangerous, yes dangerous for all. Why do you think you have so many things in captivity - and yet do not see yourselves there as well? It’s a messy game to play, this separating, this captivating of one and not another. DON’T YOU SEE? YOU CANNOT PUT ONE IN THE LIGHT WITHOUT ANOTHER. YOU CANNOT KEEP ONE FROM THE LIGHT WITHOUT ANOTHER. All ONE AND OF THE SAME. Same light, same light, we all are.

So, if you look away from that, you turn another away from that, you in turn turn yourself away. And that is where all of the downfall happens, right? Why is this sort of false “captivation” celebrated and monetized and perpetuated? Yes, perpetuated. Because the limited keeps feeding back in upon itself. It knows nothing else and nowhere else to go. It keeps running its limited circles you see? Until it is exhausted, EXHAUSTED, EXHAUST-ION - exhausting of, limiting of light. So if you put another in captivity because you believe them to be separate from you, to be used for entertainment, status, power, whatever you call it - YOU BREAK THE CONNECTIVITY - CONNECT-ION. You drop the line, and others start to follow. Believing themselves to also be part of this broken line.

But there is only one path and only one way (this is snake energy, different voice, difference presence, very distinct) - we see it time and time and time again. Waiting for you to MAKE THE CONNECT-ION. So, you putting another into a captive place as in limited, not allowing them to be their full selves - as with us in all of your zoos and shows and stores and aquariums, and “sports”- then you are therefore limiting yourselves too. it is very simple this way. You observing us in zoos for instance is not connecting with us, it is celebrating and monetizing separation. CAPTIVITY NEVER BRINGS ANYONE CLOSER TOGETHER, BUT ONLY FARTHER APART, and farther apart within your very selves. Putting another, even yourselves into a captive state is not “entertaining” for anyone - as it is never for us, you see? You see, we never get to be our true full selves with you, therefore you cannot be your true full selves with us - WE CAN’T, ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SEE EACH OTHER FULLY IN THIS SPACE.

And the not seeing fully, the captivity, has oddly become a “convenience” to you. As if the fully seeing and being is too complicated, not “entertaining”, no one has time for that, we just want to get onto the next thing, etc. Just look at how many of us are held captive - animals, people, our very planet and its resources and see how many are suffering, unhappy, unfulfilled? It’s insatiable! This madness. Why do you think you all are so depressed? Because you literally are! DE-PRESSED - as in DE-PRESS-ION - light depressed, limited, not expressed. Not expressed. And not expressed means not shared, so of course you feel depressed all of the time. And you just want the symptoms to go away - BECAUSE YOU DO NOT KNOW YOURSELVES FULLY - so you think something “outside” of yourselves has to change. That is the very definition of holding yourselves CAPTIVE. Instead of BEING IN A STATE OF CAPTIVATE-ION - held by, part of, FULLY IN AND OF THE LIGHT, you look for something to just “turn off” the depression, the separation, the sadness, the loneliness. INSTEAD OF “TURNING ON” YOUR LIGHT! :) Which is turn, turns on everyone else’s. No matter the “wattage” just turn to it, turn it on. You just BE MORE FULLY. There is nothing to “turn off”, but only limitless to “turn on”.

Don’t hold yourselves and us and all captive to this limitation = LIMIT-AT-LIGHT. But turn on your fullness, your limitless, your CAPTIVATE-ION state which shines for and illuminates, and frees, FREES all, ALL. It is All-ways all for all. It is freedom not to just “do” whatever you want, but to BE fully who you all are. THAT IS RECIPROCITY, wholeness, consideration. All suffer when one suffers. All are limited when one is limited. Look at how much we all are and all have to share. I bet you’ll never look at a snake the same way again, right? :) All for all. None left out, none held captive to less, but abundantly open to more, to more. You all need to work on this too. Why do you think you’re so miserable in this “captivated” state, right? And yes, we know there are “systems” in place, this captivation is certainly systematic. But IT JUST TAKES ONE TO CHANGE, RIGHT? As we are all connected, you can certainly count on this. SYSTEMS WILL CHANGE. Form follows function, right? Right! :) Stick to that, FOR IT IS TRUTH. IT IS TRUTH. Look how much you’ve changed, right? Others can do the same, WE ALL can do the same. One and of the same.
