Namaste
-
Namaste used to mean something in ancient India, it is a sincere acknowledgement that one is really God and the person you're saying it to is also. It's become a mere greeting.
Does Thelema have an equivalent to the authentic Namaste? Ra Hoor Khuit? Love is the Law?

"Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law."

"I suppose so, "Namaste" seems more effective to me as I'm spreading out myself into all living things when I do it."
I totally get that. I love the word "Namaste," as when I say it, I am honoring the divine in myself, and in others--including those who aren't human.
Additionally, when I greet humans with "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law," I am reminded that I have a Will, and they have a Will, and I feel encouraged to both do my Will and support them on their journey as they do theirs. It's just a different flavor.

As as Southern Californian by birth, I like, "Namaste, muthafucka!"

Word up. Yeah plants get a Namaste too, even moss in the cracks in the pavement.

"I heard that there is a north south divide, generally."
Within California, the north/side divide is fairly pronounced.
But when you compare both to, oh, anywhere else in the universe, northern and southern California seem pretty much the same.
