Kaulike ʻehā ola or Balance Four Life

I am of Hawaiian descent.  Actually, I'm 37.5% Hawaiian according to OHA/Office of Hawaiian Affairs - 42% according to Me&23, the rest is Scandinavian, Chinese, Irish and I think that's pretty much it.  If you see me in person - I've got that Samoan/Hawaiian look, but I'm basically a mutt.  There's a bit more in my profile if you're interested, so feel free to learn more about me on Facebook as well.

Well, this mutt favors his Polynesian side a bit more than all the others, because of something that I found very intriguing in my early twenties.  Back in the day, my mom informed me that your Hawaiian ancestors practiced, used, and believed in a different dogma or rather a different way of dealing with their lives and how they were able to shape their world in a more positive way - day by day.  She handed me a book titled "Huna the Ancient Religion of Positive Thinking."  I immediately started on it, and found that in ancient times my Hawaiian culture depended, used, and practiced Huna, which is a Hawaiian word adopted and brought about by a brilliant and diligent researcher named Max Freedom Long (1890–1971). 

Max brought forth this amazing secret (Huna) before any other around 1936. Max described his theory of metaphysics which he linked to the ancient Hawaiian kahuna's (Huna priests or Huna experts) to a new and powerful world of managing and altering oneself life in the direction they so desire. I found it very surprising that my ancient ancestors practiced Huna for thousands of years prior to other more common dogma's that were [in a sense] forced or influenced modern beliefs such as Christianity, Judaism, Islamism, Buddhism etc. My ancient people lived and thrived happily for a good long while.  Again, please note that the Hawaiian's used Huna long before these common religions arrived on the Islands of Hawaii back in 800 BCE, which anthropologists to this day are still trying to determine when, where, and how Huna came about or began. The good news is is that it is here!  This ancient "secret" is now a part of the new thought movement that is beginning to grow and take an amazing shape as more of the actual formula to gain access to a more prosperous and fruitful livelihood is here, again.  Many have dissected Hawaii's ancient culture for decades, and have found beneficial info for all to use. I believe Max was very close to uncovering a key element and wasn't quite able to find or obtain an important element before he passed (1890 - 1971), which I think I have identified.  As you move forward you notice how I feel and believe that I've uncovered a key element to Huna that may have been lost or forgotten.

If you could use a geometrical shape to describe life in general and all of its complexities, what would that shape be? Maybe, you see your life as a two dimensional shape such as a square, a triangle or a three dimensional shape such as a cube, sphere, cylinder, I believe our existence can actually be better understood, managed, and controlled by a three dimensional shape… The best shape that I found that works well with my research is known as a tetrahedron (see pic "A" below) or a four sided triangle. "Eha," meaning four (4), Ola meaning life and the balance or Kaulike in the Hawaiian language.  There is not really a word for "tetrahedron" in the Hawaiian language, so I left it at Kaulike ʻehā ola or Balance Four Life. If you actually held this object/tetrahedron in your hands, you'd be very impressed with this very simple and very sturdy object.  Geometrically, this is known as one of thee most perfect shapes besides a sphere in our known universe. I added one more side to Max Freedom Longs findings of the 3 sides of Huna and added one more.

Huna's 3 sides or "selves" used by ancient Hawaiian's...

Low-self: instinct, nature, fear, anger, joy, pain, stimulus, offense and defensive primal triggers.

*The Low-self can only speak to the High-self 

Middle-self: the relationship to what is happening in front of you now or your current senses working and operating at this very moment.

*The Middle-self through affirmation's, willingness & desire can only speak to the Low-self. 

Important note: You must be mindful of what you continue to say to your Lower-self, so be careful to stay as positive, encouraging and respectful as possible and use basic or simple words inside & out.

High-self: Your superconscious or a transcending human state of physical or mental consciousness.

*This self begins to point you in the direction of your goals after it has been heard by the Low-self, then you begin to witness the instructions you've given to the Low-self as things start to come to fruition.

Here is the side that could have been used by my ancestors that I believe would have been very helpful to their practice of Huna and to ours, now...

Non-self: Uncontrollable, out of our reach or unable manipulate

The Totem below depicts all the selves and the forth is there, but you'll never find it, and you have to be okay with that fact, you have to be at peace with the fact that there is only so much one can do to determine certain desired outcome or their future. This is that side where you have to [as they say] "let it go," "give it to god" or my favorite "you can do what you can do when you can do it." The rest will be sorted out, the rest will find its place and the future will unfold in whatever way it comes. Wait, I'm not saying to just sit there and do nothing and everything is going to be peachy perfect - noooo. Do your very best, give it everything you possibly can and let the chips fall where they may. You have to let go. This is where to balance and inner peace begins to flush through you selves. 

New Zealand Totem

In Huna, it is said that you can actually alter external occurrences with the use of the 3 selves aka mind, body, and spirit. I've actually applied what I've put together here to task on many particular issues, problems and dilemmas of my life and it all actually helps me to make better sense of all those deformed pieces of my life, and that with a little mental effort on my part - all that was distorted eventually started to flow effortlessly in a serene way. The balance of Eha Ole of Huna gave me peace of mind like I've never had before and it still does to this day. 

There’s a bit more to this and how it makes an amazingly positive difference in your life, but please remember, this is not a religion, not a dogma, not a myth, not a theism, not a blind-faith or some idolized theology.  What I will admit and I'm very proud of is that it is a self-help system/program/process that I believe will put your life in a far better perspective, so that you can be a better, greater, nicer, funnier, happier, etc. you!  

If you have any questions regarding the exact processes that I have used to better enhance my life in wonderful ways - please contact me.

Mahalo nui loah,
