What if I lived as if “The Divine in Me sees the Divine in You?”

Namaste’

It is Sanskrit, meaning, “a reverent greeting.  To adorn, honor, celebrate or anoint.” The hands held in union signify the oneness of an apparently dual cosmos, it’s the bringing together of spirit and matter, or the self, meeting the Self.   When I make this as a conscious gesture to another person, I am literally experiencing “the Divine in me sees the Divine in you.”

 

If I am to live, in every conscious moment, in a Namaste’ state of being, it would first require me to know my wholeness.  Who my true self is, my true nature, and that I am confident and complete in knowing that I am a part of an energy that is alive, real, and ever evolving as greater expansion in my life.  As I know this in every moment and every part of me, my life is calm and I meet each experience from a serene, confident, and content place.

I am my own Best Friend.  I love and am gentle to myself as I create my experiences and live life as it happens around me.  I learn to accept everything without judgment. I am aware of my automatic reactions and emotions to “Life” and make the space to choose from the place of Wholeness, my true self, my divine nature. I listen and I am in tune with Divine Love energy, Spiritual Love, and make choices as that Energy in and as me.

Yet, as I grow into a deeper self-realization of Spiritual Love, it cannot be contained.  It compels me to extend that Love to other people and the Earth.  So when I see the Divine in others and the world, I know it is the exact same Love in me.  No exclusions.  It cannot be any other way.  It is all One.  If I am in judgment of what other people say and do or any external event, I am not living a life of integrity as my true Self.

 

What’s fun, well fun most of the time, is that I have unlimited opportunities in my waking hours to practice Divine Oneness, Spiritual Love.  All I have to do is check in with my thoughts.  Am I my own Best Friend?  Do I practice loving kindness, compassion, empathy and peace, or does my mind dwell on events of the past and want them to be different?  Or do I plan speeches and actions to the countless scenarios in the future that have not happened yet?

Pause, Breathe…. I am aware and go back to seeing the Divine in me.  When I am with other people and they are not showing up as Divine Love, my active awareness is to know that for them.  The Best Friend in me can now show up as loving kindness, compassion, empathy and peace.  This energy is powerful and brings calm and confidence.  Now I can make a different choice no matter the situation and circumstance.
