The Great Spirit of the Banyan Tree
Great Spirit of the Banyan Tree: Have you not invoked me, granddaughter, as one who has and would bestow the wisdom of my light, and we appreciate your willingness not to seek to place upon me that which would be the outfit of your wisdom in fear or distrust of what I have and will serve to your clan.
Channel: My apologies, Grandmother. I am honored to be in receivership of your grace.
Great Spirit of the Banyan Tree: We acknowledge that. We have and are that which has and is in its individuate expression and greater flow The Spirit of the Banyan Tree that has and vibrates as Grandmother, guardian, and steward of the land of the Maui in that little village, Lahaina, in which the great fires of transformation have recently passed by.
We acknowledge the deep and profound grief from the heartplace of those who are our brothers and sisters in all forms of physical expression, those we have and would gather in the arms of our heart, the children – we speak of human, however age they have and hold, of the non-human, of spirit that still and has resided within the soils, of that which is the embrace, sacred, acknowledged, of family. For there are few who are native to this land, or who have called it home, who are unaware of the sacred bond that is expressed in our relation.
That which is the physical dissolution of the containers which held the spirit, the memories, the life-force of this community, human, structure, and that which are the remnants of old aggressions, old violence, old patternings, some of which remain honored, others which have and are simply a season in the unfoldment of this recent relation of your clan with itself and with the land.
There is great love here. It is received and it is served. The Spirit of the Banyan tree was gifted to this land as that which may be unusual, and yet not unwilling as one who has and while not native is, if you will, adopted as caregiver, light bringer, heart steadier, and so we have and honored to serve.
What we offer in this season of deep and profound grief and loss, which we do not deny, for we have and feel it, we have and experience it profoundly, is the awareness that that which has and holds a physical form is but a part of what has and vibrates in this land and in the heartplace of those who have and remain. Your roots are deep, brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, of human and non-human form. The physical constructs that have and vibrate with what you may understand as quaint and historic, those who have been and known themselves in the great winds of transition have and also serve in their way as their spirits sing a song of pain and of release as they have offered themselves not in the willingness of conscious awareness, yet in service to the greater rebalancing of the light, of right relation of those of the human collective and that of their mother, their source, the Gaia, and all other life who are cousin. For are we not all one?
I step forward, for it is my nature to appear as many, as grove, as individuate, and yet of a single source. It is wise when your own clan perceives yourselves, your various points of rooting in this plane. To comprehend fully that you have and are all in truth simply the out branchings of single source, the human collective field, your heart has always been as one, as difficult as it is when you perceive the physical otherness, we would offer, unique beauty, unique variety, unique light, those who are close neighbors and those who could not physically be placed farther from your native shore.
It is not unwise to discern yourselves as a single organism as that which has and is, if you will, a human banyan tree, one that appears as separate, and yet one whose roots are sourced from a single node of a vibratory awareness your species has and sings with.
There is a season that is upon us from which the ashes of so much imbalance, disrespect, and disregard for the greater banyan tree of all life in this plane of which the human field is but one part, of which the natural field of life in flow is another, and of which that which we all are rooted within, the Great Earth Mother who is and embraces with profound grief and love, all of her children in her arms. We invite you to perceive that much which has and does not serve in your own field of confusion, of otherness, a plague of separation and fear simply does not serve.
It is a choosing not simply for those who have physically survived this particular exhalation of imbalance, yet for all as you have and release that which is old patternings, systems, and yes, structures, ways of life, ways of living that are not in alignment with highest discernment or the wellbeing, if you prefer, of our great banyan tree of life of which the human clan is both a branch and that which has and ignites these great wildfires of imbalance through their choosing. To know yourself as that which is and produces the wind and that which has and strikes the flame of your own destruction is a difficult concept and we acknowledge this. To know yourselves as beautiful, as loving, compassionate, and so desperately seeking to bloom from the ashes of your old limitations is to know yourselves held in the light of your own potential.
We are not seeking to point finger or blame. We are simply seeking to offer example that we are all one and that the collective field of this mutual respect, acknowledgment, honoring, and awareness is in truth what has and will water the seeds of your evolution, the seeds of rebalancing and healing, the seeds of awakening that have already taken root in the heartplace and the soil of the collective field.
We acknowledge that there is great pain and despair and hope as each and every one of your clan, those who are family, kin, and cousin on the island of Maui, those who are extended family, kin, and cousin of Hawaii, those who are extended family – I do not speak of personal relation, we speak of human family – upon whatever landmass, continent, time zone, or latitude and longitude as you measure it, you call your home, our family.
Together you have and face a point of great rebirthing, of choosing, and of hope, as you have to open the arms of your heart, not simply to those of my own village, yet all. For this is not the only wind of destruction, flame of transmutation that has and is ignited across this planet at this season of rebalancing as you have and would know it. That which is being reformed or transformed, if you will, from one physical expression to another may appear to be simply the destruction without purpose or wisdom and that is what we seek to invite you to consume.
There is only the choosing through the will of the heart, sons and daughters of the Eve, children of the light who know yourselves as human. We feel the shivering of fear that you in your individuate expression are unable to manifest a great shift in the collective will. This is inaccurate. It is timely to step forward into the full agency of your light and to know yourselves deeply rooted, and to know yourselves able to be rebirthed and to claim yourselves in the beauty of your collective field as that which has and is one as human species and to honor yourselves. For that which you have and would serve to what appears to be so foreign and unrelated is simply a distortion that it is timely to uproot as you are willing.
To fear yourselves as other has been a long confusion. To seek to impose your own beliefs upon the other and to perceive them as unworthy or less than unless they bow to your own interpretations. If you do not mind us offering, a season of childhood that you are well served, dissatisfied.
We do not seek to have all who are of other to follow our ways, our banyan tree nature, and yet in this we invite those of your clan to claim the mantle of this truth without distortion that your species in smaller aspect is your own banyan tree. You all share the same root and you all are an extension of life in the beauty of its creative manifest expression, rooted into this physical plane, and yet not bound by it.
We further invite you to perceive yourselves in your greater banyan tree nature as that which has and expresses in various points and yet is of one. In that manner that is our entire earth plane. It is a challenge for many who see only with the eyes of the head, and yet my family, my cousins, my fellow embodied forms of life, I embrace you. I steady you. I honor the light within you, and I call you to this time wherein you know yourselves anew, wherein you allow that which has returned through ash to be honored and acknowledged as that which has and fertilizes the potential of your new growth as that which has and is less limited, if you will, by seasons of fear, the drought of greater awareness that you have and that which has and is rooted deeply in the physical soils of the plane of expression is but a part of your whole, and yet always connected, always nurtured and nurturing. For while the roots absorb the waters, is it not our branches and leaves that have and consume the light?
Many have heard of the phrase, “as above, so below.” It is true for your own physical expression, which holds a part of your eternal grace. And so, it is with all life. That which has and is embedded in this physical plane has and receives, has and will the light of eternal flow. It may be that we cast off a physical expression, and that is as it is, and that is not the signature of our cessation in awareness, nor for those who have and are feeling the grief of separation of the physical embodiment of family, of friend, of colleague, of neighbor. Be it here in our beloved home or any other point of expression on this earth plane, we acknowledge the pain of this physical loss, this companionship, and this love. And we invite you, gently, to open the arms of your heart to a continued relation with that aspect of these beings as part of the greater banyan tree of human light as part of the greater banyan tree of all life in flow in this plane.
We do not deny it is a season of grieving, for we grieve deeply for all of those human and other who have been our companions and neighbors, and those who have and pass through who sit a moment and receive the grace of our field in willing exchange.
We further have and invite those of all cultures, of all manner who have and would seek to know themselves serving healing to simply know itself as through your various traditions, your beliefs, and your will. You hold in gratitude that which is the full, if you will, watering of those whose hearts are wounded, of those whose homes are burned, of those whose livelihoods have been swept away, and to offer the blessing of healing of heart. And as you are willing and able to offer those branches of your human field the nurturance, the fertilizing, and the tending of physical resource as you have and open the arms of your hearts to embrace what has and appears as other, for in this embrace you have and offer love to an aspect of yourselves.
We appreciate the great outpouring of concern and we have and you may find that we are able to regenerate. And yet if we do not, it is wise to accept that there is a season to all physical expression and there is no season to the energy to our field in flow.
Is it not timely, my beloveds, to embrace your own banyan tree nature as a single organism of human expression, wherever you may be rooted and as that which has and honors and seeks to respect the other limbs of your singular life force as a part of yourselves, yes?
You are quite remarkable and powerful beings, and we simply invite you to know yourselves as that which has and is offered the blessing of example we have and serve, that which appears to be separated, and yet that which you have and are aware is of a singular expression of life in flow. So too, are you. So too, are all.
As together, those of human and uh, non-human, embodied and non-embodied flow of expression join in a song of grief, of love, of healing, and hope, that which has and is may know itself birthed through the ashes of old distortions into that which is the light of a rebalanced and mutually respectful flow.
In this, we have and know it so and invite you to have and deny that which has and would appear to be an impossibility or improbability as you have and perceive what has and is around you in the hearts of your species and in the physical realm. And as you have and call forth that which is the unlimited light of your own creative intent, do not limit that which has and is and knows no restriction in flow. Open the eyes and arms of your hearts, cousins, grandsons and daughters, children of human and non-human flow. As we have and embrace in a long, long-awaited reunion of right relation, it is the season of birthing of this potential and remembering our singular field of flow.
We appreciate the receivership of our intent through this channel and we invite all of those of the clan of human to invoke your banyan tree nature and the wisdom of your oneness. It is the season of this grace as you have and claim it so.
We have and are grateful to serve our small wisdoms into the ears of the heart of those who have and are able to hear them. Do not doubt yourselves, children. You are only limited by your belief that it is so.
It is complete. We have and are grateful for the love that has and nourishes us, much as the waters that are being offered to our physical expression. We have and would take our leave, as we have and listen to all who have and would call forth a vibratory alignment with the frequency that is offered, that of your banyan tree nature in this season of awakening and realignment of flow.
Channel: I am profoundly grateful for your wisdom and your, your light and your guidance, Great Spirit of the Banyan Tree. Thank you.
Great Spirit of the Banyan Tree: You are welcome, granddaughter. It is a meal that has and will feed the heartplace of many, as you have and place the plate of this wisdom upon the public table for consumption.
Channel: Blessings be, Great Spirit.
Great Spirit of the Banyan Tree: And to you and all, daughter. We listen and hold that which is the light of hope that we will have many who have and enrobe themselves in the mantle of their banyan tree nature at this great season of rebalancing that is presented to your human clan in the grace of opportunity, yes?
Channel: Yes, thank you.
Great Spirit of the Banyan Tree: It is complete.
