Guest guest Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Renee---it is almost always better to stick with what you get in your own spirit. Samuel is Hebrew for " asked of God " . The " el " at the end is for " God " . Someone was obviously reaching when they told you that. Samuel was named that because his mother Hannah prayed to God with weeping and agony of soul for a son. She " asked " God for him. I'd love to hear what your vision was if you feel okay sharing it with me. You can email me if it is too personal to share on the forum. Or not, if you don't care to share.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Hi Jill. No, perhaps it wasn't Hebrew that he told me--I was mixed up. It was another language, though I can't remember now which--I'll have to look and see if I kept his post. It's been a while since he told me that. Someone else told me it's a word in one of the African languages too, though I can't remember what it meant. As I said, I just thought the other meanings interesting, but I stick with my vision. I don't mind sharing--I've done it before because other people have asked me what it means. I never really meditate so it's not like I experience this all the time. I was actually in a large group of people and we were all being "taken" on a meditative journey by the speaker. It was "we are going up hill. You see a beautiful tree that you go and sit under. The sky is so blue"--that kind of meditation. I was trying to follow it, but couldn't, and suddenly I found myself standing in the middle of a small village like place. Like I was standing to the side of a dirt "street". People were coming and going. I "knew" they were an ancient people, but didn't know what race. They all wore long tanish robes. It was dusty and brown everywhere. When a person would meet someone they sort of knew, or was introduced to a new person, they would each touch their own hearts and say "samala". But when a person would meet a family member, or someone they loved, they would each touch the other person's heart and say "samala". I was given to understand that the word meant "from my heart to yours". At that point I came out of my vision--the only one I've ever had in my life--so I thought "hmmm, this must be important to ME, though it has no meaning for anyone else. But I will keep this alive in my being" and so I have come to use it as my form of namaste. :-) Samala, Renee ---- I'd love to hear what your vision was if you feel okay sharing it with me.
