Colors of the World

Serge Kahili King (11)

(Posted by Janiah Melsom)

"Once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel: all claimed that they were the best, the most important, the most useful, the favorite.

GREEN said: "Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of life and of hope. I was chosen for grass, leaves, trees - without me, all animals would die. Look out over the countryside and you will see that I am in the majority."

BLUE interrupted: "You only think about the Earth, but consider the sky and sea. It is the water that is the basis of life and drawn up by the clouds from the deep sea. The sky gives space and peace and serenity. Without my peace, you would all be nothing."

YELLOW chuckled: "You are all so serious. I bring laughter, gaiety, and warmth to the world. The sun is yellow, the moon is yellow, the stars are yellow. Every time you look at a sunflower, the whole world starts to smile. Without me, there would be no fun."

ORANGE started next to blow her temper. "I am the color of health and strength. I may be scarce but I am precious for I serve the needs of human life. I carry the most important vitamins. Think of carrots, pumpkins, oranges, mangos, and pawpaws. I don't hang around all the time, but when I fill the sky at sunrise or sunset, my beauty is so striking that no one gives another thought to any of you".

RED could stand it no longer. He shouted out: "I am the ruler of all of you! I am blood! Life's blood! I am the color of danger and of bravery. I am willing to fight for a cause. I bring fire to the blood! I am the color of passion and of love, the red rose, the poppy and the poinsettia. Without me, the earth would be as empty as the moon!"

PURPLE rose up to his full height. He was very tall and spoke with great pomp: "I am the color of royalty and power. Kings, chiefs, and bishops have always chosen me for I am a sign of authority and wisdom. People do not question me, they listen and obey".

Finally, INDIGO spoke, much more quietly than all the others, but with just as much determination: "Think of me. I am the color of silence. You hardly notice me, but without me you all become superficial. I represent thought and reflection, twilight and deep water. You need me for balance and contrast, for prayer and inner peace."

And so all the colors went on boasting and quarreling, each convinced of their own superiority. Soon, their quarreling became louder and louder. Suddenly there was a startling flash of bright lightening! Thunder rolled and boomed! Rain started to pour down relentlessly. The colors crouched down in fear drawing close to one another for comfort.

In the midst of the clamor, RAIN began to speak: "You foolish colors, fighting amongst yourselves, each trying to dominate the rest. Don't you know you were each made for a special purpose, unique and different? Join hands with one another and come to me."

Doing as they were told, the colors united and joined hands.

The rain continued: "From now on, when it rains, each of you will stretch across the sky in a great bow of colors as a reminder that you can all live in peace. The rainbow is a sign of hope for tomorrow".

And so, whenever a good rain washes the world, and a rainbow appears in the sky, let us remember to appreciate one another. always ((¯`♥´¯)) ✰ One ✰ `*.¸.*´ UniVersaL ♥ ૐ ♡ℒℴve♡ Truth ૐ ♥

Huna And Hawaiians

Editied from an article by Serge Kahili King

There has been some controversy as to whether the ancient Hawaiians ever practiced Huna... So let's examine some Hawaiian and other sources to see what we can find out about this.

...The 1865 edition of "A Dictionary of the Hawaiian Language" by Lorrin Andrews, and in that dictionary we find the word "Huna" with the following definitions:

> to hide or conceal; to keep from the sight or knowledge of another.

> to conceal, as knowledge or wisdom

> that which is concealed (in conversation or written sentence this definition would be expressed as "ka huna."

But the question remains, did the Hawaiians themselves use the word Huna to refer to their esoteric knowledge? This is not easy to determine from an oral tradition, but a few knowledgeable Hawaiians wrote some things down about their own traditions after the introduction of written language, and perhaps we may find some clues there.

Many of the ancient heiau or temples of Hawaii held a tall, wooden framework called 'anu'u that was partially covered with kapa , or bark cloth, which was used for offerings and as a place for priests to reveal the words of the gods.

In announcing the revelation they would begin with the phrase, "Let that which is unknown become known." In Mary Kawena Pukui's book of Hawaiian proverbs and poetical sayings, Olelo No'eau , we find the same phrase in Hawaiian: Ahuwale ka nane huna . Pukui's own translation is "That which was a secret is no longer hidden."

On page 54 of Ka Po'e Kahiko - The People of Old by Samuel Kamakau, in an article published on October 13, 1870, he says that "In the old days in Hawaii, prophetic utterances and hidden sayings ( 'olelo huna , i.e., speech with secret meaning) were relied on."

In Chapter Six of Hawaiian Mythology by Martha Beckwith (University of Hawaii Press, 1970) she relates ideas that her Hawaiian informants told her of twelve sacred islands that in very ancient times lay close to Hawaii and with which there was frequent communication. These islands were inhabited by spirit beings, but humans used to travel back and forth to them (a very shamanic concept).

After the great political and religious changes around the middle of the thirteenth century these spirit islands are said to have been rarely seen. They are also said to have been able to move under the sea, on the horizon or into the air like a cloud according to the will of the spirit chief.

One of the most famous of these spirit islands is called "Kanehunamoku," usually translated as "The hidden island of Kane."

"Kane" in this sense was a kind of creator spirit.

As for the translation, "The hidden island of Kane" would normally be translated as "MokuhunaoKane" or even "Kanemokuhuna."

The phrase as it appears in ancient chants, "Kanehunamoku," would be better translated as "Land of the invisible creative spirit."

In Pukui and Elbert's Hawaiian Dictionary the phrase po'o huna is translated as "mysterious, hidden, invisible, as the gods," so rendering "Kanehuna" as "invisible Kane" is a valid translation.

All of this is significant because there are many tales of "Kanehunamoku" in which humans travel there, learn esoteric knowledge (i.e., knowledge of arts and crafts unknown to humans before then) and return to share that knowledge with the rest of humanity.

The following chant by Edith Kanaka'ole is very clear in its use of the word huna:


E ho mai i ka 'ike mai luna mai e

O na mea huna no'eau o na mele e

E ho mai, e ho mai, e ho mai e


Grant us knowledge from above

The things of knowledge hidden in the chants

Grant us these things

Further intensive research could probably turn up more instances in which the word "Huna" was actually used by Hawaiians in reference to secret or esoteric knowledge, even without resorting to the word kahuna with all its roots and implications.

That "ka 'ike huna," the esoteric knowledge of using the power of the mind to influence nature and events was practiced by the Hawaiians there is no doubt. References to it are abundant in a great deal of written records. However, this is only a simple article intended to show that Huna was a part of ancient Hawaiian culture. I will end by listing seven proverbs from the book by Pukui mentioned above which also show that the ancient Hawaiians were aware of the Seven Principles.

1. 'A'ohe pau ka 'ike i ka halau ho'okahi , "All knowledge is not taught in one school," a variation on the idea that there are many sources of knowledge and many ways to think about things. Therefore, "The world is what you think it is."

2. 'A'ohe pu'u ki'eki'e ke ho'a'o 'ia e pi'i , "No hill is too high to be climbed," a way of saying that nothing is impossible and that "There are no limits."

3. He makau hala 'ole , "A fishhook that never fails to catch," said of one who always gets what he wants. The fishhook was a primary symbol of concentrated attention, and a good fishhook could attract fish even without bait. So, "Energy flows where attention goes."

4. Wela ka hao! , "Do it now!" In other words, "Now is the moment of power."

5. He 'olina leo ka ke aloha , "Joy is in the voice of love." Or, "To love is to be happy with..."

6. Aia no i ka mea e mele ana , "Let the singer select the song," a poetic way of acknowledging that "All ppower comes from within.

7. 'Ike 'ia no ka loea i ke kuahu , "An expert is recognized by the altar he builds." As Pukui puts it, "It is what one does and how well he does it that shows whether he is an expert." Put a different way, "Effectiveness is the measure of truth."

Aloha in the Hawaiian sense actually refers to “a sharing of joyful energy within the present moment.” In other words, it’s about being “happy with” yourself and others. And the degree to which you can do this is the degree that you are able to share love.

Here, love is considered an active thing – a joyful energy that is passed between the participants.

Certainly the energy that is shared between ourselves and others is influenced by the focus of our thoughts.

So, how exactly, can we focus our thoughts to support loving relationships?

Here are 5 ways that were shared with me some time ago through the teachings of Serge King:

1. Focus on the positive qualities in yourself and others. That increases confidence. Focus on the positive benefits of the relationship(s). That increases harmony.

2. When your focus is continually drawn to past events (especially if they were unhappy,) or future events, the love is diminished. Know that love is created anew, each moment, every day. Focus your attention in the moment.

3. By blessing – that is, giving and receiving praise, acknowledgement and appreciation – love is increased. Love is decreased by the separation caused from judgment and criticism. Remember to bless often.

4. When you regularly focus to acknowledge your own source of power, your Spirit, you generate more confidence and harmony from within. That increases your loving interactions with others. Choose to focus on Spirit more often.

5. When you use loving means, such as loving combinations of words, images, feelings and actions that bring harmony within your relationships, love is increased. If you want a loving outcome, use loving means.

There you have it. It’s so very simple and yet so powerfully effective. Yet, I must admit that it’s not always easy. I’m sure you often catch yourself, like I do, acting from old negative programming rather than from these concepts…

However, as Loving Relationships become more and more a priority, our focus makes it possible for us to adopt these as a “way of life” rather than as tools we happen to use when we remember.

The seven principals of HUNA

1) IKE - the world is what you think it is - BE AWARE

2) KALA - there are no limits - BE FREE

3) MAKIA - energy goes where attention goes - BE FOCUSED

4) MANAWA - now is the moment of power - BE HERE

5) ALOHA - to love is to be happy with - BE HAPPY

6) MANA - all power comes from within - BE CONFIDENT

7) PONO - its all about attitude - BE POSITIVE

The spirit of love, the aloha spirit, is embedded within the cultural and spiritual traditions of the Hawaiian islands and distinguishes them uniquely on the planet."
...
"The Hawaiian masters were very aware of the significance of energy exchange. Knowing that the Universe works through a harmonious interaction of giving and receiving, they understood that the sharing of loving energy was a way to come into attunement with divine power.
...
Invariably their lives open up to a new flow of abundance, and they notice more instances of beauty everywhere around them. They are often able to feel joy in every cell of their bodies for the first time in their lives. As a result, they also experience more love, health and abundance through unexpected channels."

KA LEI ALOHA
Ho’oponopono
CIRCLE OF LOVE
This is a blessing and a prayer of forgiveness that I have humbly adapted from ancient Kanaka Maoli wisdom.

KA LEI ALOHA CIRCLE OF LOVE KA LEI ALOHA
Ho’oponopono recognizes the negative situation and then moves past it to the positive benefit of the lesson learned from the experience, re-establishing health and balance. Balance is restored to the individual first and then throughout all of creation.

Ho’o means ‘to cause’ in Hawaiian and ponopono means ‘perfection’.
Pono means to ‘make right’, to ‘rectify an error’ or to ‘restore balance and harmony to all’.
Being restored to pono means being right with ourselves, each other and all things.
In, pono au, we all have the capacity, to create for ourselves anything we desire.
Pule means ‘prayer’ or ‘blessing’. Be encircled with Aloha blessings.

Let’s start easy.
A ke mele ahua a pu’u (I connect with you in the song of my heart).

Visualize clear blue sky to allow your mind to settle and rest…..or just allow relaxation to spread throughout your body. As you relax……. move the energy in your body into harmony, happiness, and gratitude.

Imagine breathing slowly and easily ……….in and out through your heart………imagine your breath glows with white light……and fills your body with each inhale………radiating out from each and every cell……… containing all the colors of the rainbow …….

Be relaxed centered and peaceful. Release and dissolve any holding or tension. Allow this sense of relaxation to wash over you……… allowing love and joy and laughter to flow freely………… learn easily…… know what you know.

Ho – pay attention.

Aloha…aloha…___...___...Nui…Nui…___...___.

Now creating space to breathe….. inhale for the count of 4….. hold it to the bottom of your lungs for a count of 4..... exhale out to the sound of HA.....UH …… the breath begins and gathers power in the solar plexus…the belly….echoes and moves through the heart, then into the throat where it becomes spoken….HA..UH ….exhale to the count of 4………and hold for 4 counts.

PIKO PIKO…inhale in through your naval…na’au …..exhale out through your heart…pu’uwai….allow light to move through your body….
Inhale in through the top of your head… …and exhale out through the bottom of your feet.

And as you breathe... release any tension... any stress from any part of your body...heart… mind... any thoughts, memories and feelings... just let them go....dissolve and disappear… ......exhale with complete relaxation….. Perhaps even making a gentle “ha-a-a-a” sound, releasing all your muscles in a big sigh………… HAAAA……UHHHH….

Allow your awareness to rise above your head into your creative resourceful state above……….

As you breathe allow yourself to begin to experience a deep state of relaxation and …… begin experiencing your own internal power.

Experience how the energy in your body seemingly slows down while you exhale.

Now, as you inhale slowly, send your awareness deep down into the Earth below you, as if you have grown roots, down to the center of the Earth. Allow the power and resources you find there to travel up your roots. Allow this energy to enter through the bottom of your feet, easily moving up through your legs; up through your tailbone, filling your belly, moving through your heart, up through your throat, filling your whole head….front…..back ….and center………Take a moment to imagine every cell of your body completely filled with this energy,…….. opening easily and effortlessly, Again inhale slowly, and think of the sky above you and send your awareness high above your head – as if you have sprouted wings and now can fly far out into the universe………….

Imagine you follow a ray of light back…….. and allow yourself to be filled with this beautiful light through the top of your head……. now......

……Inhale in through the top of your head… …and exhale out through the bottom of your feet………. allowing light to move through your body.. warm energy that sends out rays of warmth and healing that penetrates every fiber of your being. …….. It is warming, relaxing, and healing at the deepest level of your being. ……

Feel the warmth spreading throughout ….. These rays are warming you, healing you, penetrating and joining with all that is you...Now imagine that these deeply warmly relaxing rays are tapping the powers of the universe and are healing and soothing your spirit, mind, and body. ….

experience it, see it, feel it flowing through your body and mind….literally cleaning house…re-arranging your thoughts into a pattern that allows you to become a part of your new future that is light and joyful…

Move that white light down through your body….filling your entire body with that bright white light….feel the energy come all the way down through your body until all of your parts….. mental, emotional and physical…. are aligned…..

Experience and feel that sense of peace flow through you... and sense of well being… and enjoy these positive feelings and keep them with you as long as you like....

Continue to be aware, ala, of your breath.

Kupono, to move straight towards a goal.
Your questions will be answered as the waves of understanding flow in.
