Recall

It has been a week since the Huna Retreat at Oceanstone. I am mindful of feeling fuller...more vibrant...and yet, at the same time, experience a sense of longing.

My time at Oceanstone with ohana during the retreat has left me eager to finish my next book. As much as it is not about Huna, Huna is essential to the book. The essentials of mana, Aloha and the Three Selves have created a gateway to what science can explain and yet could never have created.

January will see a focused and uninterrupted journey into my own thoughts, experiences and discoveries from Huna and its connection to the 21st Century. Even as I write this, I now there is so much more to be discovered in the next few months.

I am ready to discover.

Aloha!

Ohana gathers

The 4th Annual Huna Retreat at Oceanstone is completing itself. As much as my physical body is no longer by the Atlantic in Nova Scotia, waves of insight and discovery continue to flow. This is indeed, for me, 'ohana'...my family of choice.

Like the flow of water in the ocean, this wave has already begun to source the next. Momentum building. I know that April in Hawaii will be a flashpoint for the creation of something that has been calling to me for a long time. Kona will be the place where I meet, face-to-face, a part of my own Self-expressed 'destiny'.

Ohana...family of choice. All on a journey of Self-discovery, choosing to rest in the same place, at the same time, and explore what doing so awakens in each of us. We come together for three days; we engage in the Spirit of Aloha; and when it's time, we move out into our unique world's, an expression of the 'more' that we have become. Like the flow of energy through the body, we criss-cross at points of intersection and flow alone in the vast spaces of our own thoughts. It is all perfection, and we need but allow ourselves to be carried by its momentum.

Mana. Energy. It is not what I have, it is who I am. Mana in flow. The essence of energy is expression and the void of potential from which it comes. Are they really separate? Or is each expression but a sliver of the greater self? This time, at Oceanstone, the Higher Self Connection invited the collective Aumakua to be present with intention and engaged. In that moment, the 'pattern ehnancer' of this invitation left a deeper impression of potential. I can't think of any other way to say it. Perhaps it is not intended to be said at all, but only known in tissue. Hmmm....

Through it all, I was profoundly aware of the gift of the Hawaiian people of the Aloha Spirit to the world. In my words, the Aloha Spirit has become the notion of
"invite and allow'. An invitation as opposed to a command performance; an invitation rather than dogma or rules or expectations and the grace of allowing...of being without judgement and with the capacity to just 'be'. This simple notion has changed my life, profoundly and irrevocably. It saddens me deeply that so many of the Hawaiian people had to die that we might have this notion enter into our collective consciousness. They have not died in vain.

In reading the biography of the last Queen of Hawaii (Queen Liliuokalani), I was struck by this way of being that was free of currency and what it represents. The notion that we can live in a world view of abundance and trust that our lives will work. Perhaps the most poitnant moment for me was reading of Queen Liliuokalani's moment of insight that came too late: that as much as aloha was the essence of who she was, it was not so for these new beings in her Kingdom. Could it be that aloha has edges?

Emerging Futures is a way of living that has been inspired by The Three Selves of Huna. Combined with all that I've learned from the quantum sciences, this simple expression of 3 'islands' coming together in the flow of something greater has made magic and manifestation a possibility for us all. Such power in such simplicity. Not the power to do to, or power over anyone or anything...but power that allows us to access the full measure of the Life Force that we, all, already are. In that simple breath, we manifest our lives.

Mahalo to all who chose to be part of this ohana experience. As much as I have left Oceanstone, I know that you are all still with me. I welcome the thread of your life as it weaves with mine in the design of the life we share. And we all know - there is always more!

Aloha!

Upcoming Huna retreat

As the time draws closer to the Huna Retreat at Oceanstone, I am aware of an increasing intensity in my life. This seems to be a theme that repeats in many areas of my life, in many ways.

What is this 'intensity'? I experience is as a 'moving faster'...as 'density'...kind of like the difference between looking at a still picture in a frame, and watching as it turns into a full-color, panoramic moving picture! And all I was doing was looking...

"Think not that all wisdom is in your school." Ancient Hawaiian saying that keeps playing itself over and over again, in my thoughts. At this next Huna retreat, there will be others with their own 'truth' of Huna. People like Paul and Sheila...others who have wired into their body the experience of THEIR Huna and what it has called to them to discover about themeselves. I know that this time, the Higher Self Connection will have greater intensity than ever before.

I'm also aware of the theme of 'connection' - to Self, to the elements/world we create and to others in that world - and am curious about 'why this, why now'. Connection to Self...connection to Oceanstone and the Atlantic and the winds...and connection to all those who choose to manifest themselves into this experience.

There is a gathering taking shape. It will not be a soft one or a hard one; a safe one or a dangerous one. It will be an intense one, with density of pixelation that makes it impossible to NOT see what we have created. Perhaps in this soon-to-be moment in time, time itself will somehow shift and with it, so will my world.

Aloha!

21st Century Huna

I keep thinking of the poster on the wall of the Program Room. The one of the Three Selves and the correlations to other things that we speak so loosely about in our vocabulary of the day - things like conscious/unconsciousness/higher conscious mind; like past, present and future; like body, mind, spirit. These are but a few.

As I move through this week, with so many challenges that touch the people that I love the most, I keep thinking about that image.

It is not about the image - it is about the context within which that image sits. It is about the 'aloha spirit'. It is about 'ohana'.

It is a reminder to me that I do not have to do it alone. Sometimes I forget that and need to be spoken to softly; and sometimes I need to be screamed at to awaken me to remember.

This week, I am feeling the impact of being screamed at! I hear. I listen. I ask. And I trust - that it is all unfolding exactly as it should.

Aloha! I speak it and I hear it for myself. In that 'invite and allow', I am surrounded by what I need to be whole.

'Ohana' of choice

'Ohana' holds meaning for me at many levels.

My physical 'ohana' is my family of origin - Mom and Dad, my brother, perhaps going so far as to include aunts and uncles and cousins that I spent time with on a regular and frequent basis.

My 'ohana' includes people who come into my life through the program experiences that I create on the holodeck of my experience and into which I invite others to play with me.

My 'ohana' of choice includes all those to whom and with whom I am connected, at levels that defy explanation in the domain of the physical.

The 'aumakua' that I am, engages with the 'aumakua' that you are and in that moment, the level at which I choose to play in the great and majestic game of living becomes breathtaking in its magnificence, its potential and its joy!

A simple word - 'ohana' - means what I experience it to be to me, for me, at multiple levels of expression through 7 Logical Levels of Thinking. And through it all, I choose. Through it all, I AM at cause in the creation of my own Universe.

Imagine if we were all to choose 'ohana' and its expression. My 'ohana' is one of godforces engaged in the game of living! However did I get to be so lucky???!?!?!?

Aloha!

Redesigning the architects

It's been a powerful conversation (the one that introduces what I'm calling 21st Century Huna) that startles people into a different awareness.

I wonder : what would our world be like if we all knew that we ARE the godforce we fight over? Does a godforce need to be right? Does a godforce want what other godforces have? Why would s/he...when as a godfoce s/he can create at will.

I wonder what the world would be like if we did not have religion to fight over? If we did not have a frightening, punitive 'god' watching our every move?

I've read the books on Huna I've experienced with some of the 'best and brightest' teachers of Huna. And I know taht what has changed my life is the Huna that seeps from my cells. I wonder how that happened.....

I'm discovering that the new Huna book is not about Huna as I learned it. It is not about practice and technique and ritual. It is about context. It is about offering a framework for consideration that when examined next to today's quantum science, a door opens to a way of profoundly knowing ourSelves in a different way.

The world will not redesign itself. As the architects of what we have, it is we as architects who must awaken to a new design for ourselves and THAT will be the light that shows us the way home.

Aloha!

April in the Kingdom of Hawaii

It has been a Huna kind of day for me.

I realized that what I want for myself in April 2008 is to create the Space within which people who have long been in my world will be able to 'know' the Hawaii that I know. What I am now thinking of as 'The Mauna Lani Experience' is my way of creating a play-date with all those I draw to me! I had never thought about it that way before - and today, it just popped into my awareness.

Not an hour later, I get the comment from Anne of her experience in reading my earlier blog entry on 'Huna: Calling me Home". In the moment of reading her note, I knew what I both want and need to do for April 2008.

It is not about Huna as a retreat, since it has never been about Huna as a thing. It is about an experience of the Kingdom of Hawaii that lights up my soul and welcomes me home. And Huna will indeed, be part of this.

I know that the Space that is the Mauna Lani - with its grace and beauty; with its raw and elegant power; with its sweeping winds, ocean's roar and breakers crashing along the shoreline; with its views of sunrises over the mountains and sunsets over the ocean, all visible from my balcony - these are what let me know that I'm home. I want to share this with others. I want to create the opportunity - the invitation - for them to know 'home', deep in the cells of their being.

To create this, I know that I must be both the attractor for it and be willing to be the one who shapes 'matter' for it to happen. It needs to matter more to me and from there, beckon to others.

Once there...once in that magical place...the rest will flow easily. Huna will 'be' as it is intended : a Space within which Invite and Allow comes to life; within which easy and effortless is the key; and an experience of the flow moving through each of us, awakened to the smells and the sounds and the sensations, both outside and inside. And in truth, they are all the same.

Aloha!
