it can take long for one to find out that we can be guided by people
and one can understand that one likes to have masters who teach, and
we tend to find those masters who seem to fulfill our dreams, and
still is being connected to that "Intelligence" which we can
feel, hear in ourselves, the answer to all our questions, and the support
to all our undertakings. So, there is no one Huna. I was myself once very
frustrated by the fact that, during my visits in Hawaii, no hawaiian knew about
those three selves(max freedom long), in fact max was definetely wrong in his naming
aumakua is not the high self in hawaii. But it doesn't matter, his teachings are interesting,
except for the fact that it has little to do with hawaiian teachings. In Hawaii many Kahuna
spread rumours about eachother, deny eachothers teachings, and even fight eachother, so if you're
looking for a paradise-teaching in hawaii, be prepared for some nice "surprises".
I was very frustrated and confused in the beginning, until I found out that hawaii
IS a very special place, where one can learn much about
being connected to nature, life, the elements and yes: God.
In my experience everything is alive, like rocks, the clouds, the mountains, a road,the sea,
and one can really talk to them and they talk to you, even places call you, to come to them
and have important experiences, nature teaches you to go out of the way, that is, to let go many
beliefs and ideas that hinder to be in contact with that one source(which has many different manifestations)
Certainly one can experience that everywhere, but in hawaii it's easier and
so teachers do help, but eventually one can drop them and
be alarmed when teachers (or books) promise you to fulfill your dreams. Max Freedom Long's method to get what you want
works and it can really confuse you because it doesn't work, and then you're trapped, because you
go like:oops, I have read another book and I have to go to another seminar,
deadendstreet yeah! like The Kinks sang in the sixties.
Just go, for instance, to pu'u onua o honaunau(big island)be there at least till half an hour after sunset
and experience the most beautifull place in the world,
the weather and the whole scenery will reflect your mood, and hidden
state and remembers you what to pay attention to next in your life,
And then there is Spirit of Aloha: people are very nice,
friendly, and sometimes they reveal there way of life, if you're modest enough
to hear what they say, then you know that everything is alive,
that there is no difference between religion and your "normal" life,
and that you can certainly ask the rain to stop or to pour, if
you align yourself, if you (with all your unnatural wishes) go out of the
way. You are not in control, not with huna techniques, not with
max freedom long methods, not with serge king's/tad james'/papa henry's (etc. etc.)techniques,
All we have to do is:NOTHING. The chinese call it: wei wu wei: act by not acting.
That doesn't mean that we get what we want, and it certainly doesn't mean
that we can be lazy, it means that we let go of many of our ideas that tell
us we are in charge and be ready for surprises, things you never ever could have
imagined (good for me that I didn't plan my life with
nlp/huna/magical-techniques).
Actually I wanted in this e-mail tell everybody about an interesting url,
but I got inspired to share this. But the url is:
