Nameste

Nameste is a simple word - a greeting spoken by millions the world over every day.

I has a number of translations but the most relevant one here is remarkably simple.

The spirit that is with in me greets and recognizes the spirit that is within you.

In it's translation then it is not just a word by a practice that occurs every time you meet someone.

When you are awake it is impossible not to do this

My soul salutes your soul...

My heart loves your heart

My Awareness sees your awareness and sees the lack of separation between the two.

Two waves looking for water...

Seeing they are part of an ocean...

Nameste

 

The reality of waking in the marketplace

Sometimes it can be hard....
It's called the hero's journey for a reason.
It's dangerous, there are lots of obstacles
and there is a pot of gold at the end

I'm not sure anyone who hasn't done this can get how hard it can be

Ironically it can also be incredibly easy.(see instant awakening)

In my own personal journey I may have decided to do a bit much at once...

Start a new company....
Start a new family....
Wake up.....
All at the same time....

I think that one would be enough for most people...

On the plus side the family and business are going great....

The waking up....hmm

I feel a bit like a guy who has spent a lot of time being in the land of awake and I've even lived there periodically but now I am camping on the outskirts and walk in and out of the land pretty regularly.

So I can see it all the time... I'm just not experiencing it all the time...

Or am I...

Isaac would say this is also an illusion and that we are always ever there....
The thing is I can remember being able to see that ...

So clearly...

6 billion waves.. Searching for water...
