IA

Description
IA for Julie Notes for the client:
"I am (or we are) IA (pronounced ee-uh, like the ending of Olivia). I speak through my own name, but we are many together. Me as elder. Me as family. You as scribe. You as family. We share."
I was going to continue writing word for word, but IA was not used to channeling with words alone. They use telepathy in their communication always, as well as senses we do not have like sonar and vibratory sound transmission. This is also why they haven't developed a spectrum of facial expressions like we have, and like we need in order to communicate with each other. Their senses are attuned elsewhere and do not read another deeply by looking at their face or eyes. They do have micro expressions, but it would take us a while to learn to notice and read them.
So, I am going to translate to the best of my ability what I received and understood.
IA says they are aquatic mammals, cannot breathe underwater but can stay under for very long, and this is when they shut their nostrils like in the image. The way IA spoke to me was in a very different language construction than what we are used to. IA was transmitting words and their many meanings and layers. They said they are speaking from the perspective of an elder in their group, as well as the perspective of your galactic family. And that they see you as some kind of a record keeper, as a soul purpose that you carry through lifetimes. Sacred scribe is one of your roles in the parallel lifetime you have within this aquatic race. This is the sharing space, the point of connection where you two meet.
IA also transmitted through those same words, that should you wish to communicate-- automatic writing would be the best way to start. But that doesn't mean it wouldn't be a back and forth exchange. They are a very direct, no nonsense, huge energy presence. They felt very serious but not heavy. This race does not exist in a certain specified location like a planet or a star system. They feel very widespread, not just in systems that have large bodies of water, but also present in space on their and various other craft. They are very ancient, and have been around long before this iteration of humans. They say there are aquatic races in our oceans and underground cave systems as well, not like IA's race, but more similar to them than to humans in appearance.
IA's race is a proud tribal-like massive group of individuals, who live a very (seemingly) simple life in nature. I feel that they have extremely advanced hubs like domed cities underwater, but I did not feel like I should pry about that without having developed any significant rapport with this race. I did, however, get a very clear picture of them having and using weapons for defense. They looked like some kind of advanced technology in the shape of harpoons or even similar to tridents, but they were not meant to be used for any type of melee. They were emitting energy that could be directed in a form of a shield, or repelling barrier and alike. They could also control water flow as well by some kind of electromagnetic routing. So this was not a weapon per se, but more of a multi use device. I was not shown the details of it, just a rough idea, so I did not implement it into the portrait.
IA does not have a merfolk tail or anything similar. They have legs like humans do. But their hands and feet are oversized and elongated. And both arms and legs are quite long (think of really tall and lanky basketball players).
I did not get any other specific messages, and I believe that this connection will feel much more direct and open to you as this is your galactic family, and ultimately a lifetime you also have in that race that you can connect to!
