Namaste, the indian word for hello means "The divine in me salutes the divine in you". 你好 Nǐ hǎo the Chinese word for hello means "Have you eaten rice today?" This from a culture where rice is like tortillas to a Mexican. We are taught that the Lacandones have no word for hello, or good bye, that when they meet they just start talking and when they depart they just leave, but when they greet each other what they say is "What did you dream last night?" The Hawain hello, Aloha, is the same word for love, affection, peace, compassion and mercy, and it means the "divine breath of life". The Mexican word for hello, hola, sounds like "Wave" and so we wave with our hands in the air sending you a wave of vibrations “Hello” in Arabic, عسلم عليكم, it is said “easlam ealaykum,” which means “Peace be upon you.” The Hebrew word, Shalom שלום, for hello, also means "peace." こんにちは “Konnichiwa,” in Japanese, back in the day, was actually the beginning of a sentence that went, “konnichi wa gokiken ikaga desu ka?,” or “How are you feeling today?” (今日はご機嫌いかがですか？）
What does Hello mean? We are seeing its meaning as the culture of hello expands through out the world. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, hello is an alteration of hallo, hollo, which came from Old High German, halâ, holâ, emphatic imperative of halôn, holôn to fetch, used especially in hailing a ferryman.
It also connects the development of hello to the influence of an earlier form, holla, whose origin is in the French holà (roughly, 'whoa there!', from French là 'there'). As in addition to hello, halloo, hallo, hollo, hullo and (rarely) hillo also exist as variants or related words, the word can be spelt using any of all five vowels.
Hello is alternatively thought to come from the word hallo (1840) via hollo (also holla, holloa, halloo, halloa). The definition of hollo is to shout, or an exclamation originally shouted in a hunt when the quarry was spotted. The point is...where is our intention? when we say our "Hola"? Where is our heart, our mind, our body? as we greet each other? What do our neighbors, friends, and strangers answer back when we say hello? To critique the past distracts us from the present, wasting our creative force to manifest a future; but to look into the past teaches us about how we got here, as the past is what happened to us, and how us happened to the past. In this light, to study our patterns, patterns are the daily habits that define our archetypes, to study our patterns allows us to understand how history is made; some of us remember it, some us forget it, but it is those of us who write about it who go through the therapeutic process of looking at the conciousness of things. Not because we, writers, are better, but because we go through the quantum exercise of transfering our thoughts into words, and then write them down. Hopefully we write, knowing that words are blown with the wind. Writing is something anybody can do, as it is in the constitution of a peaceful Republic, peaceful being the keyword : e.g. Bill of Rights, Article I, freedom of speech and of religion; furthermore, writing Truth requires a vow to a Universal practice of peace: noble speech; the art of speaking truthfully, timely, in a manner that it is easy to the ear, and only when what we say creates harmony when there is none. This because we all know by divinity, even if we are still in the process of understanding in comprehension of its full power, that the Universe is created with the WORD. Yes, from a privileged place of heart, mind, and body I can say that we live in a paradise, where, to start again, all is needed is to dive in the water of the salty ocean from one of our beautiful beaches and cleanse the hooks that are hooked on us, then you can climb a palm, crack open a coconut, drink its soma, and eat its coco meat; and you are ready to go again!
Poco a poco, se rompe el coco. A privilege place of heart, mind, and body, because it is a peaceful place on Earth; and a peaceful place on Earth needs to be cherished.
We live in a #Time when thousands of people try to reach each other just to tell their stories and say hello! Without awareness there is a dark force wanting to expand in the attempt to control the masses, in the attempt to corrupt the collective soul. Nothing to waste our focus on, as we are all part of the same collective experience. War, famine, abuse, violence, drama, it is all on TV; video games movies and any electronic that gives a magnetic frequency withou awareness Those of us who walk the earth for grounding are simply in the effort to, like it is colloquially said, "chase the potatoe". Everyone is looking for a way to bring bread to the table, and in the intensity of doing just that, we sometimes forget the importance of the sacred ritual of breaking bread together. This town seems to share a common phrase at the moment: "I just haven't had the money to pay for it, yet" when delayed in paying for veterinary expenses, clothes, car, gas, travel, rent, water, bread, coconut, you name it! Yes, what is different from other places? you might ask if you live in any other town, in any other part of the world, as this economy is a global one. Since "I" live here, "I" can tell you what "I" observed. "I" #sea a community who works for endless hours in service to the dreams of others, making sure it is joy what we sell relaxation and freedom. People from all over the world keep coming back to rest and forget about all negativities and the miseries of humanity, some in retreat into their spirituality, some in escape of life in their own addictions. No judgement, it is true that in the diversity and freedom to be, think, speak and do, We unite. The Sun is hard to darken with one finger tip though, or better said in Spanish, no se puede tapar al Sol con un dedo.
Now we know how we feel, it is time to ask what we are what will We do with that? When you travel, remember this, it is its people where the heart of the town beats. Those who wake up early to make your bed, those who go to sleep late to entertaining you, who sacrifice family time, time with their children, luxury moments in nature, to serve your dream. When you share your admiration with the world about this town, or that town, and say your experience was incredible admiring the fact that you can buy a cup of coffee for less, or that it is sooo "cheap" to travel to there or here, or even worse, that you can build your dream upon this "low town wages", do admire it not blind, better, question it! Why is it so cheap? Isn't it not also people who are behind the effort? Who do the same work that it takes anywhere else? Who produce your experience? Question it! Why is it so expensive? How is my money spent once I give it as pay? Does it reach the agriculturist that water the coffee bean? Who is under the sun everyday? Are people being treated fairly? If they are? is the budget being use in good balance? to sustain everyone's effort? Is it sustainability the motor behind it all? You know, sustainability it means simply that it sustains all those who make the effort, as much as it sustains you.
Question it, get educated get informed ask what you need to know Then put your money on it, choose wisely who you support with your affluence, must be based on the principle of integrity. karma is simple cause & effect Confused? Pay attention use your breath to focus observe your sensations How do you feel? listen If you are charging the equivalent of the dollar to the peso, if you are getting charged the equivalent of the dollar to the peso, but the servers waiters, musicians, guides, chefs, cooks, drivers, maids, janitors, trash engineers, gardeners, guards, entertainers, artisans, dancers, painters, artists, yoguis, laborers, managers, architects, photographers, designers, salesm@n, agents, entrepreneurs, the working people, those who are not on vacation when the servers are still getting paid the "cheap town wage" - there is where the problem lies, there is the nut, there is the but.
Like Einstein questioned problems, question this one!
Then meditate on it. How does it feel? How does it feel if it was You? Walking in the shoes of the other? Would you be able to sustain your family, in peace? Once the insight has arisen in your wisdom, in the observation of your breath, in the observation of your sensations, now you can act and balance, isn't that what we are looking for? Balance, in the order of the cosmos we give what we want to receive in true generosity in true friendship in true So the writer shows up, and writes to everyone, hey! what are we doing? Here we are again? Are we going to keep doing what others before we have done many times already? Until there is no more coconut? Until there is no more bread? Until friends are no more? If something "I" have learned from the natives is that survival is all about caring taking care of your friends. And so it is in the rest of the world. #Study your past, study the patterns, know your history.
Then, use your creative power
and build a future
one future that includes everyone,
in peace,
in harmony,
in happiness,
in true freedom.
Make sure
that your community shares
your merits.
How this?
Well
Observe the WORD around you.
