Our human recognition of this interconnectivity is exemplified in numerous international greetings: “Namaste” in India means, “The divinity in me recognizes the divinity in you.” The Mayans declare, “In’ Lakesh” which means, “I am another you”. An African greeting, “Eh-ti-zain” asks, “How is your soul perceiving the world?” The Lakota Native Americans welcome each other with this phrase, “Mitakeye Oaysin”, meaning “All My Relations”. The familiar Hawaiian hello, “Aloha” translates to “I recognize the Presence of the Divine Breath in you.” And the German salutation, “Gruss Grott” proclaims, “Greetings, God.” was paraphrased from “The Evolution of Consciousness” by Rob Williams. Watch his entire presentation here on YouTube.
