Symbol explanation of \u00a0the Dance of Sacred Interconnection or in Pilipino “Sayaw ng Pakikipagkapwa.”\"pakikipagkapwa<\/a><\/p>\n

The first concentric circle around the BA-HA-LA Tree of Life is about Pakikipagkapwa<\/em>\u00a0or Sacred Interconnection of all Cosmos and Existence, in many levels, dimensions and universes.<\/p>\n

Kapwa<\/em> means “other” but it’s deeper meaning is kindred or “self in other.”<\/p>\n

Pakikipagkapwa<\/em><\/a> can mean compassion and can also have the same meaning as Namaste—the light in me sees and honors the light in you…<\/p>\n

Pakikipagkapwa<\/em><\/a> is all-encompassing that it recognizes a human’s connection to each and every living creature, all of Life, all of Creation… it also encompasses a connection beyond the veil, into the dimensions of Light and Spirit unencumbered by 3D-4D Space and Time. (also see pakikipagkapwa.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Pakikipagkapwa<\/em><\/a> is represented in not just this circle alone but throughout the whole of the Babaylan Mandala — YOU, as the Bahala tree of life, are connected to everything throughout the cosmos, beyond space and time, and throughout dimensions of material and non-material existence.<\/p>\n

The main symbol in the pakikipagkapwa<\/em> circle is the baybayin<\/em> writing symbol of KA.<\/p>\n

\"KA<\/a>

baybayin symbol of KA<\/p><\/div>\n

KA is written by drawing two curving lines horizontally, like waves, one on top of the other in a parallel way. The two wavy lines each can represent a river of water, a current of wind, or a spirit or soul. The two entities are connected with a line running vertically down the center, just touching each one. This central line is the Connection between the two rivers, winds or souls.<\/p>\n

\n

The baybayin<\/em> symbol or syllable of KA is spelled\/found in many Philippine words that indicate relation or connection:
\nKapatid<\/em> = sibling (tagalog)
\nkauturan<\/em>=siblings (visayan)
\nkapwa<\/em> = kin, kindred, fellow (tagalog)
\nkasama<\/em> = partner or companion (tagalog)
\nka-klase<\/em> = (classmate tagalog)
\nkapid<\/em> = twin (visayan)
\nkambal<\/em>= twin (tagalog)
\nkadkaduha<\/em> = twin or sibling soul (visayan)
\nkalakbay<\/em> = companion in a journey (tagalog)
\nkakilala<\/em> = acquaintance (tagalog)
\nkaibigan<\/em> = friend (tagalog)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"pakikipagkapwa\"<\/a>Looking closely at the KA symbols in the circle, they have been stylized to represent women and men dancing for joy around the BA-HA-LA Tree of Life in a dynamic circle. Between every set pair of man and woman, there is balanced a spinning orb of energy, little balls from the River of Life, whirling spheres of prana<\/em> and Life force. This indicates many things \u2014 free will, creativity, ability to have control over one’s life, dharma, destiny, and many other things.<\/p>\n
