As a native of Maui here are some thoughts I had related to the Maui fires in August. This is my perspective and my intention is to open a dialogue to navigate the emergent paradigm out of outdated systems, red tape bureaucracy, plantation politics, and put sourcing your divine destiny for instant gratification.

I love my community and island. As a local we must challenge coach and create with God rather than the status quo found in our human centric ways.

Hawaii, often referred to as paradise on Earth, is known for its stunning landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and warm hospitality. But what about its phone area code, 808? While it might not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about the Aloha State, it has its own unique charm and significance that makes it interesting to explore.

  1. Aloha Spirit: The 808 area code is more than just a number; it embodies the famous Aloha spirit. This code is a symbol of the warm, welcoming, and laid-back attitude that defines Hawaii. When you dial 808, you can expect a friendly and inviting response on the other end.

  2. Iconic Music: 808 has played a significant role in the world of music. The Roland TR-808 drum machine, produced in the 1980s, revolutionized the music industry and gave birth to a new era of electronic and hip-hop music. Artists from Hawaii have embraced this iconic instrument, infusing its beats with the rhythm of the islands.

  3. Unique Time Zone: Hawaii is the only U.S. state that operates on its own time zone, Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time (HST). When you see 808 on your phone, it's a subtle reminder that you're not just calling another state; you're connecting with the exotic world of the Pacific islands, where time slows down and life moves at a more relaxed pace.

  4. Diverse Culture: Area code 808 is a reflection of Hawaii's diverse cultural heritage. From native Hawaiians to immigrants from Asia, the Americas, and beyond, this region has a rich tapestry of cultures. When you dial 808, you're connecting with a place where traditions and customs from around the world coexist harmoniously.

  5. Natural Beauty: Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of 808 is its connection to Hawaii's breathtaking natural beauty. The area code covers all of Hawaii's islands, from the lush rainforests of Kauai to the volcanic landscapes of the Big Island. When you see 808 on your phone, it's a reminder of the paradise that awaits on the other end of the line.

The 808 area code in Hawaii is more than just a series of digits; it's a symbol of the Aloha spirit, cultural diversity, and the unique beauty that defines the islands. It's a reminder that when you call Hawaii, you're not just making a phone call, you're embarking on a journey to one of the most enchanting places on Earth.

“When Kamehameha I was ruler over only Hawaii Island, and not all of the islands were his, and while the eating kapu was still enforced, and while he was living in Kohala, Kona, Hawaii, it was there that a certain man lived named Kapihe (also called Kamaloihi) and his god was called Kaonohiokala.” (Hoku o ka Pakipika, March 20, 1862)

“This man named Kapihe went before Kamehameha I and before the alii of Kona, and he said …”

E hui ana na aina
E iho mai ana ko ka lani
E pii aku ana ko lalo nei
E iho mai ana ke Akua ilalo nei
E kamailio kamailio pu ana me kanaka
E pii mai ana o wekea dek iluna
E ohi aku ana o Milu ilalo
E noho pu ana ke Akua me kanaka

The lands shall be united
What is heaven’s shall descend
What is earth’s shall ascend
God shall descend
And converse with mankind
Wakea shall ascend up above
Milu shall descend below
God shall live with mankind
(Kapihe; Velasco)

Spoken about three years before Christian missionaries arrived in the Hawaiian Islands with bibles and scriptures, the prophecy of Kapihe seemed to foretell the abolishment of the kapu and transformation to Christianity and westernization.

“The chiefs and commoners were astounded at these shocking words spoken by Kapihe, and they called him crazy. This perhaps is the truth, for some of his predictions came true and others were denied.” (Hoku o ka Pakipika, March 20, 1862)

“(I)t might be thought that Kapihe’s was a riddle and the land would not literally join together … Perhaps his words were not his alone, but from God.”

In the realms of mythology and spirituality, there exists a concept that transcends the boundaries of the physical and the metaphysical - mana. This enigmatic force is often described as a mystical energy that courses through the fabric of existence, connecting everything in a harmonious dance of power and possibility.

Across cultures and throughout history, mana has taken on various forms and meanings. In Polynesian cultures, it symbolizes spiritual power and is attributed to objects, places, and even individuals. In some indigenous beliefs, it's the essence that imbues shamans and medicine people with their extraordinary abilities to heal and communicate with spirits. This shared understanding of mana underscores its universal relevance as a bridge between the seen and the unseen.

Mana's association with magic is prevalent in fantasy literature and role-playing games. It's the source of power that mages draw upon to cast spells and perform miraculous feats. This portrayal aligns with the concept of tapping into an unseen force to manifest change in the world, a reflection of how mana has been perceived across diverse cultural narratives.

Moreover, mana encapsulates the notion of inner strength and the human capacity to influence the world around us. Just as a wizard channels mana to create magic, individuals can harness their own "mana" by tapping into their potential, beliefs, and intentions. This idea serves as a reminder that we possess a wellspring of untapped energy and possibilities within us, waiting to be harnessed for positive change.

Intriguingly, mana's essence remains as mysterious and elusive as ever, a testament to the allure of the unknown that continues to captivate human imagination. Whether seen as a spiritual force, a magical reservoir, or a representation of inner power, mana unites cultures and generations, inviting us to explore the interconnectedness of all things and to embrace the wonder that lies beyond our comprehension.

For those who are fortunate enough to live in Hawai'i, it is customary to utilize the term Aloha. It is used in greetings, farewells, and expressions of love. However, Aloha encompasses even more than that; it represents a way of life.

In addition to its common meanings, the word Aloha encapsulates all the necessary knowledge for righteous interaction with the natural world. These insights describe an attitude or way of life often referred to as "The Aloha Spirit" or "The Way of Aloha."

The spirit of Aloha was an important lesson imparted to the children of the past because it concerned the world of which they were a part. One early teaching goes as follows:

Aloha is about being connected to all, and all being connected to me. When there is pain, it is my pain. When there is joy, it is also mine. I hold deep respect for all that exists, as it is part of the Creator and part of me. I will not intentionally harm anyone or anything. When sustenance is required, I will only take what is necessary and explain why it is being taken. The earth, the sky, the sea are entrusted to my care, to be cherished and safeguarded. This is Hawaiian - this is Aloha!

Emotions shape our perceptions and relationships, especially love. Emotional tuning is essential for maintaining love's harmony. We can align our frequencies through practices like sound therapy, meditation, and connecting with nature. Love, like a musical instrument string, requires proper tuning to resonate harmoniously. Emotional tuning involves the HUNA principles: awareness (IKE), flexibility (KALA), focus on harmony (MAKIA), tuning in the present (MANAWA), and the manifestation of harmony (ALOHA). Emotional tuning is a personal responsibility (MANA) that requires regular attention. When two notes resonate, they create overtones, just like harmonious connections between individuals. By continuously fine-tuning ourselves, embracing HUNA principles, and taking responsibility, we create a symphony of love, compassion, and harmony.

The ocean, with its vastness and enigmatic depths, holds secrets that continue to captivate scientists and nature enthusiasts alike. In this blog post, we delve into the interconnectedness of various topics, ranging from the marvels of photosynthesis to the wisdom encapsulated in the ancient Hawaiian creation chant, the Kumulipo. Join us as we explore the fascinating world beneath the waves and unravel the hidden mysteries that connect us to the ocean and its abundant life forms.

Photosynthesis: The Sunlit Energy Conversion
Photosynthesis, a remarkable process utilized by plants, transforms sunlight into usable energy. Through the power of chlorophyll in their chloroplasts, plants capture sunlight and convert it into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. This energy is then utilized in the Calvin cycle to convert carbon dioxide into glucose, providing the essential fuel for plant growth and vitality.

The Kumulipo: Weaving the Tapestry of Life
The Kumulipo, an ancient Hawaiian creation chant, is a rich tapestry of knowledge that weaves together the origins and interconnectedness of all life forms. Its principles align with the timeline of Earth's history, including the emergence of marine invertebrates and shell-bearing animals during the Cambrian period. The Kumulipo's themes of unity and evolution resonate with the development of diverse marine life forms, highlighting the significance of diversity and the intricate web of life in shaping the marine ecosystem.

Energizing the Ocean: The Power of Light
The ocean, a vast reservoir of natural energy, is charged with vitality through various mechanisms. Solar energy warms the ocean's surface, while temperature differences create thermal energy gradients and generate ocean currents. Wind transfers its kinetic energy to the water, forming waves, while gravitational forces from the moon and the sun cause tides. Geothermal activity and biological processes also contribute to the ocean's energy balance, supporting the intricate dynamics of marine ecosystems.

Pleiades: Celestial Guides and Cultural Significance
The Pleiades, also known as Makali'i in Hawaiian culture, hold significant importance in Hawaiian traditions. These stars served as celestial guides for ancient Polynesian voyagers and are associated with agricultural activities, marking the beginning of the harvest season. The Pleiades' visibility or invisibility helps determine seasonal changes in Hawaii. With mythological connections to goddess Hina and demigod Maui, the Pleiades are honored through cultural festivals and ceremonies, such as the Makahiki festival.

As we reflect on the wonders of the ocean, from the intricate process of photosynthesis to the wisdom embedded in the Kumulipo and the cultural significance of the Pleiades, we begin to grasp the profound interconnectedness of our world. The ocean, with its vast energy and biodiversity, continues to inspire and amaze us. Let us embrace the importance of preserving and understanding these precious ecosystems, and recognize our role as stewards of the ocean's treasures. Through ongoing exploration and appreciation, we can deepen our connection to the ocean and ensure its vitality for generations to come.

Max Freedom Long, through his research and experiences, identified several core principles or "laws" that he believed underpinned the Huna philosophy. While these laws are not part of traditional Native Hawaiian teachings, they have gained recognition and resonance among certain individuals and communities.

The three core laws of Huna are:

  1. The Law of Belief: This law suggests that our beliefs shape our reality. It emphasizes the power of the mind and the importance of holding positive and empowering beliefs. By aligning our beliefs with our desires, we can manifest our intentions and create a more harmonious existence.

  2. The Law of Connection: This law emphasizes the interconnectedness of all things. It suggests that everything in the universe is interconnected and that we have the ability to establish and utilize connections for healing, guidance, and manifestation. It encourages us to cultivate a sense of unity and to recognize our interconnectedness with others and the natural world.

  3. The Law of Energy: This law recognizes the presence of energy or "mana" and its influence on our lives. It suggests that we can harness and direct this energy for various purposes, including healing, personal growth, and spiritual development. It emphasizes the importance of understanding and utilizing energy in our daily lives.

These laws of Huna provide a framework for personal transformation, spiritual exploration, and alternative healing practices. While their origins may not be universally accepted within Native Hawaiian culture, they have offered insights and tools for individuals seeking to incorporate ancient wisdom into their modern lives.

When you’re in Hawaii, you won’t go long without hearing the Hawaiian words aina and pono. You might recognize it in a passing discussion, read it on a sign or spot it on a bumper sticker. The word aina is even in the Hawaii state motto:

“Ua mau ke ea o ka aina i ka pono.”

English Translation: “The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness.”

As you can see from the motto, aina translates as “land,” but its meaning goes much deeper than a simple definition.

To really understand all the layers of meaning of the word, you also need to understand the unique relationship that native Hawaiians have with the land. One Hawaiian proverb hints at its importance:

“He alii ka aina; he kauwa ke kanaka.”

“The land is the chief; man is its servant.”

Ancient Hawaiians both revered their land and respected the need to care for it.They worked to strike a balance between the needs of the land and the needs of the creatures living on that land, including humans. The land was believed to have its own mana—spiritual energy and power. In short, the land was sacred to the native Hawaiians, whose descendants carry these beliefs forward today.

Given the importance of aina to the Hawaiians, it’s not surprising that the words they used to describe nature come with similarly fascinating layers of meaning.

We’ll explore five more of these Hawaiian words in this article. By taking a close look at these words, you’ll start to understand the lens with which Hawaiians viewed the land and all that comes from it. You might even find yourself looking at the natural beauty of the Hawaiian islands in a different light.

Living in Hawaii is a unique experience, one that’s shaped by so many factors, including the island you choose to call home, the friends and family you’re surrounded with and the ways you decide to spend your day. By taking a brief tour of these Hawaiian words, ideals, concepts and beliefs around nature, you might now have a new perspective on the environment you’re surrounded by on a daily basis. (And you might have a few new words to describe what you encounter!)

Snaring the Sun
Maui was the son of Hina-lau-ae and Hina, and they dwelt at a place called Makalia, above Kahakuloa, on West Maui. Now, his mother Hina made kapas. And as she spread them out to dry, the days were so short that she was put to great trouble and labor in hanging them, out and taking them in day after day until they were dry. Maui, seeing this, was filled with pity for her, for the days were so short that, no sooner had she got her kapas all spread out to dry, than the Sun went down, and she had to take them in again. So he determined to make the Sun go slower.
