The Banyan Tree:: The New Moon

The story behind the Banyan Tree and New Moon Gatherings for new readers....

I, Lauren, was laying down in a hotel in Saigon, Vietnam one afternoon in late September, when I found myself simultaneously elsewhere. El Morya, my beloved friend of lifetimes, was making his usual visit, yet we were meeting in a different place, or so I thought.

Awake in my physical reality and aware of the simultaneous reality, I saw the dark-eyed magus levitating cross-legged in the lotus position beneath the canopy of a grand Banyan Tree. The branches hung down low and golden glittering consciousness - not energy, pure consciousness - flowed from each branch into the ground and then back up through the tree trunk in the movement of the dynamic infinity symbol. 

"Won't you join me?" El Morya gestured toward me without making a sound.

As I moved beneath the Banyon's branches, I found I too levitated in the crossed-leg, lotus position. 
I have been there ever since simultaneous to the reality in which I write. Perhaps I have been there all along.

After the experience, the Banyan Tree began to represent - to myself and the group of embodied masters I write for - a gathering place in the space beyond the noise. Some might call it Theos. You may call it what you like, but it does not exist in the physical form most humans consider real. You cannot get on a plane to find it. Perhaps it holds a similar quality of Avalon in the mists of Britaine - the home of King Arthur, another name by which El Morya was called - a lifetime we shared together. 

As the Banyan Tree was adopted by the group eagerly as our new gathering space, one of the members marked the flow of life in the Banyan is a lot like the flow of divine will in the Universe of You, of SELF. Truly, I sense this intensely. 

Every New Moon, we gather under the glittering gold consciousness of the grand Banyan. 
You are welcome to leave all the human mentality behind and levitate with us, if it is your soul's will, also called passion.
