I am another yourself (in Lak'ech Ala K'in)
In Mayan tradition, there is a greeting that many people working with Mayan wisdom know of. It is the law of In Lak'ech Ala K'in, which means I am another yourself (A modern day interpretation). It also means I am you, and you are me (A traditional Mayan interpretation). We have come to understand that this Mayan greeting is an honoring for each other. It is a statement of unity and oneness. In Lak'ech Ala K'in mirrors the same sentiment of other beautiful greetings such as Namaste for East India, Wiracocha for the Inca, and Mitakuye Oyasin for the Lakota. It doesn't matter which culture you come from. But when one of these sacred greetings is given, there is always an action of placing the hands over the heart.
To realize our oneness is a great advantage over knowing about it, we all started out the same. We are still what we were before our first thought (think very carefully about that), we just don't remember, most of us "think" we are just our body, memories likes and dislikes now. It is very nice seeing traditions and customs handed down through the centuries hearkening us to remember.... remember... what we truly are.
