9 October 1997 Letter- State of the World Forum Awa Service (PDF)

State Of The World Forum

The Presidio- Box 29434

San Francisco, California

94129, USA

9 Oct. 1997

Greetings return to you my lords, in the love and in the light of the ancestors, The Source of Life.

Greetings from the Spiritual Warriors, keepers of the flame, we greet you twice.

Greetings from the Chiefs and Elders of The Mound of The Whale, keepers of the receptacles of knowledge, the fruits of beauty, we greet you thrice.

We sing praises and blessings to the ancestors of Turtle Island who have passed this way a thousand generations ago and have become the earth itself. All that remain are the names that point the way to legends.

It was a way of life that had heart and communion of spirit. Songs that tell of heroic moments that have moved their people to find values true to their inner vision.

Their dance is one that is the beat of the earth itself. Their names are of nature. Their closeness to the land is deliberate.

Their wealth is determined by the integrity of their heart and the freedom of their soul.

They are not poor, they are the bounty of this land, they are the earth itself.

We sing praises and blessings to the ancestral house of Turtle Island, for the vision it seek is not for the eyes, it is for the inner spirit to receive this vision and speak of it to the ancestral house, their heart.

The ancestors ride past on memories that only the clouds can recall.

Know your place within this mystery and a true way to walk by opening your heart to the sighing of the wind that the grandfather’s voice that speak the truth that does not die; open to the earth and ready to fulfill a destiny.

We sing praises and blessings to Mother Earth who spins the web of creation, the eternal principle of truth; who weave the tapestry of life; awareness is her substance, the seeds of life.

We are the prayer spoken individually as consciousness. We create our beliefs and redefine their edges moment by moment and call this cascade of momentum, our life.

To attempt to define the unfathomable mystery that gives birth to the miracle of our being creates a stagnant atmosphere of conflicting philosophies that we have named religion.

So the dilemma arises that has bewildered all faiths, how to evolve in creative expression, seeking to grow past fear and into a heart sharing of meaningful activity while enclosed in a circle of spiritual speculation that speaks of inner truths yet bogs the soul in thought and ritual.

Life itself is the prayer, the prayer is not eternal or for show.

Spirit is the inner essence, the eternal principle that speaks of our life as its truths, but worship of it misses the point.

We are our God, The Creator living in the creation getting to know the Creator better, praying to ourself is useless, but living in light of our truth and applying it into a moment by moment joy of sharing expressive mastery is the enlightenment of our soul.

Self realization is mastery, not philosophy- it is joy, not effort- it is truth, not blind participation.

Our prayer is our joy, and each of us sings of the same truth.

the cordage, is symbolic of the lives we have completed and the result of the choices we have made throughout our many incarnations.

The occasional knots in the cordage are brought about at this tme, by the “Law of Attraction,” when life choices were taken away either by or from the weaver.

Where the braiding is taking place is the current

    point

in our life. The strands are of different lengths, substances and textures, and some tend to be more central to the cordage than others, but at each and every choice, the strands are braided in and out, depending on the ramifications of the choices made.
Each choice is made by the weaver, and each choice brings new form to bear on the cordage. All the strands are valid and some are likelier than others- until the choice is made. The tangling of the cordage strands is caused by choice.
Now: Our own nature, of course, is of the water; in that we as spiritual warriors, are easily impressed and moved.
This is the very fiber of the cordage and the nature of our physical journey and vigil in this three dimensional experience: To not only be move, but to instruct ourselves to the preferred manner of our movement in mind, body, and spirit; for we are the best teachers we will ever find.
Therefore, as each person enters the energy web of Papa hanau moku, Mother Earth, each experiences two major influxes, that of of the conception, which has to do with the physical manifestation of the incarnation, and that of the moment we call birth, when the divine breath, the Ha, is drawn into the body.
Thus those who know the stars and their configurations and influences, such as a navigator of the ancestral canoe, are able to see a rather broadly drawn map of the places through which a spiritual warrior, a bearer of light, has travelled, is travelling, or may be expected to travel, be it upon the physical, the mental, or the spiritual level, through the watery world of spirit, Hawai’i; our direct link, braided with the cordage of love. Aloha.
It is said that we are one link, one connection, in a millenium long cordage of spiritual warriors, activating the wisdom of persuasion and the mastery of the highest evolutionary development, the Chief, related to and the continuation of cognizant nature.
We change what we can and accept what we cannot change for those who can, the descendants of the next seven generations.
We ask that you remain seated until the awa service is completed. When your name is called, we ask that you, the recipient, clap your hands once for the awa servers recognition of the recipient. You may speak over your cup of awa. Upon the return of the awa cup to the server, a command of “Pa’i ka lima” will be given; everyone will applaud in unison “three times.”
Makaukau? Inu awa?
Awa Service
We the spiritual warriors with the bearers of light, leave you in the love and in the light of the ancestors, The Source of Life; rejoicing in the power and the peace braided with the cordage of love. Aloha.

25 OCT. 2001

Greetings return to you, Dr. Colorado, in the love and in the light of the ancestors, The Source of Life.

Aloha Kakou!

My apologies for the delay in responding to your request. My attention was toward a sacred site in Kona, Project Hokuli’a. All is well for the moment and maybe the ancestral bones would return to its place through the court order. Anyway, here is the information I received for your request.

HEALERS ORGANIZING A COUNCIL OF ELDERS

Here is the echo of the ancestral thoughts:

Here is Kanaka Lawelawe, the servant; this energy is all about do anything, be anything, try anything. It is typified by the “DOER”, a being who does, and does. The mana is that of EXPERIENCING, regardless of purpose, regardless of outcome, regardless. The energy is part “I AM” and  “I WANT”in the ancestral Sea of Time

In this place, The Sea of Time, we exist and experience. Duration leads to sequence, and we separate then from now, this from that, and you from me. Everybody wants to do something; we stir. Entered Na Po’ai Ali’i, The Circle of Kings (Round Table?)

The Circle of Kings is in the Ancestral House of The Spirit Incarnate and is the gift of  “I PROJECT”. It is the gift of togetherness. If I AM to project myself, there is nothing I would like more than to be in good company. The Circle is UNITY, the commonality of all things, all a part of a whole, and the gift’s achievement in the world is PARTICIPATION, every person acting like a part of a whole. Entered KAUILA NUI MA KE HA I KALANI: The Lourd Lightening of Kaihelani.

The ancestor, KAUILA NUI MA KE HA I KALANI, LIGHTNING, is a condition that is CRITICAL, one that seem to border on chaos, yet is loaded with energy. It is a condition that is unstable; something is bound to happen, but no one knows where the lightening (Lightning) will strike. It is a state in which great amounts of energy are unleashed. What may have been static before is now undeniably dynamic and powerful. Kauila nui ma ke ha i kalani dwells in the Ancestral House of the Matrix; the combination of the energies of IMPULSE and REACHING. Entered the counsel of the Ancestral Healing Stone, KALAMA ‘ULA.

The Ancestral Healing Stone, Kalama’ula, dwells in the Ancestral House of Perfect Form and in the realization of “I PERFECT”. The challenge on the alanui (Path) of perfection is dealing with all the things along the path that get in the way.

Kalama’ula perceived as a obstacle stands (6x6x6) in my way, stops my forward progress. If I look at the same block of stone in a slightly different light, it can appear as a PROBLEM. Now it is something that must be figured out, solved, before I can go on.

But I can cross the subtle line of perception and see the ancestor, KALAMA’ULA as KUMUPA’A (FOUNDATION), a solid foundation built and established with the strength of compassion, a footing, a stepping stone. Now, The Ancestor, KALAMA’ULA, is not in my way; Kalama’ula as building, something to build with, or blocks as stepping stones ahead of me. The question is: When is an impediment and impediment? The answer is: When I say so.

Kalama’ula is the realization for Na Maka o Kaha’i, her seas of LABYRINTHS (HO’O POHIHIHI) and the Southern sea of quiet flowers (KE KONA KAI OPUA I KALAI).

Here in this place, getting involved creates access and inner completion makes the way out of the sea of Labyrinths.

Over this sea shines the Star of Independence where spontaneity creates a way in and decisiveness makes the way out of the sea of quiet flowers.

PS:

We are all making drastic modifications in our lives. We are all re-connecting to the Source. And as we all endeavor to re-connect rest assured all our paths will go in different directions, but all knowing the destination will be one and the same.

For it is not what service you DO, it is the love (aloha) with which you do this service that makes all services equal. It is the quality of love with which you do it.

The being of doing needs to begin with being to respond to the call for service.

With the permission of the ancestors, I leave you, Dr. Colorado, in the love and in the light of the ancestors, The Source of Life; rejoicing in the power and the peace braided with the cords of patience, revealing the tapestry of aloha.

Sincerely in service,

18 June 1999 Letter- In Appreciation of Dr. Colorado (PDF)

APELA COLORADO

LAHAINA, MAUI, HI

18 JUNE 1999

Greetings return to you, Doctor Colorado, in the love and in the light of the ancestors, The Source of Life.

We of the ancestral tribal mind, dream our dreams and they are full of gentleness of the mind, the warmth of the heart and the humility of the soaring spirit; “Let peace prevail, enfold it with the red cloak”. If darkness comes persuade it to follow the way of peace. The ancestral bowl of light.

In appreciation and support of women of vision, like yourself, Doctor Colorado, there is a connection to the Universe where Kane retrieved from Lehua, the bowls of light and two red stones. Like the ancestors, you are connected to the Universe by your own visions as part of an inseparable aspect of creation- the merging of the ancestral tribal mind.

This sense, the intuitive avenue through the heart, opens the mind to the appropriate translation that it may enter the theoretical aspect of living and effectively integrate those feelings of the heart into usable theory of that ancestral tribal mind.

Since time on Mother Earth is so limited and time within the bosom of the Universe is so extensive, there is room for you to develop your own level of cosmic vision and give birth to it through the appropriate channels of physical reality.

The level of the material human mind is limited and grows slowly, but the level of the spiritual tribal heart is eternal, and as it becomes filled with aloha it changes the very nature of the material man into the vision he holds most dear: that of himself as an alive and integrated extension of the Universe- The Ancestral Grand Plan.

Doctor Colorado, you have distinguished yourself by a consistent superior performance of the ancestral mind on the beach of Quida, Benin, West Africa, January of this year, 1999. Proof of the quality of your instruction can be seen by the fact of students’ dissertation, one that I witnessed, in Dakar, Senegal, West Africa, this last March, 1999. You have clearly demonstrated that you are eminently qualified as a Kumu- an Elder, a teacher, and a foundation built and established with the ancestral strength of compassion. I appreciate, respect, and support your good work and recommend its essence to those of interest.

May the spirit of the land and all its relations, with the ancestral tribal mind of the Oneida, create a sanctuary fully imbued with aloha. With the permission of the ancestors I leave you, Doctor Colorado, in the love and in the light of the ancestors, The Source of Life; rejoicing in the power and the peace braided with the cords of patience, revealing the tapestry of aloha.

Respectfully,

Hale Makua

24 July ’01

Greetings return to you, Dr. Colorado, in the love and in the light of the ancestors, The Source of Life.

Aloha Kakou!

I am responding to your latest request of the “Healers Circle,” and the ancestors replies to the query.

Now: Through the eighth and ninth gates we pass into the “Circle’s” most interior ring, “The rod and ring of divinity, measured justice,” the hall of signs (Hoailona); where KE AULI’I (The Rod) is about leadership, measurement, force, and impact the mind has on the world, when clear and purposeful, it carries the approach of COMMAND in the simplest and most direct sense: by my word, by y will.

A compelling thrust beyond debate, above criticism. Yet Ke Auli’i also mete out justice. So the balancing approach is one of discernment about how much command is used, utilizing DISCRETION. In combination, Ke Auli’i is the force of the empowered will tempered by a sense of fairness and justice; shared by the ninth and tenth ancestral houses of “I CARE”, and “I REALIZE,” in the sea of pyramids where COMMAND provides entry and DISCRETION makes an exit. Now entered the star of INDEPENDENCE.

KU OKO’A, independence is about non-attachment to things or to people. It is typified by “KAHO’OPAKELE” (The Deliverer), the being who releases ties and bonds. The mana FREEING, loosening, making space. The mana is part of “I PERFECT”, and “I EXPAND.” It also creates the light of Kona Kai Opua i ka lai (The Southern Sea of Quiet Flowers). Mana moving from a point, or consciousness removing itself from something. Now, entered Ka Po Kaka’a, The Wheel.

Ka Po Kaka’a is in the ancestral house of MANA, where the positive polarity is about AUTHORITY, the positive polarity of power (MANA), and its negative is OPPRESSION, and is the ancestral makana (gift) of “I CARE.” It is the gift of getting your feet wet, of going through with things; the gift of EXPERIENCE. It is the ability to go along with life and learn from it. The result of this APPLICATION, KNOWING BETTER WHAT TO DO NEXT TIME, having first hand knowledge that can be applied in new ways. And entered PUKA ANIANI

Na Puka Aniani (Windows) is about the side of ourselves that exhibits perspective. The window represent one’s PERSONAL VIEWPOINT that is expressed to others. It is a side that is OBSERVANT, trying to take it all in, in order to have PERSPECTIVE. The window also describes a SEPARATION from the rest of the world, and the SELF LIMITATION that can result from separateness. The window dwells in the ancestral house “THE PERFECT FORM,” expressing “I PERFECT” through the mana of FREEING and  PERCEIVING; and expression of kona kai o pua i ka lai.

The heart of the ancestral magic is the experience of the joy of union with the CREATOR. This joy will of necessity radiate throughout the life of the positive adept.

Any purpose which you may frame should, the ancestors suggest, take into consideration this basic union with the One Infinite Creator, for this union will result in service to others of necessity.

The principle behind any ritual of the white magical nature is to so configure the stimuli which reach down into the trunk of mind that this arrangement causes the generation of disciplined and purified emotion or aloha which then may be both protection and the key to the gateway to intelligent infinity.

Your rituals at your level of progress contain the concept of polarization and this is most central at your particular space/time. Your is the dance at this space/time in third density.

With the permission of the ancestors, I leave you, Dr. Colorado, in the love and in the light of the ancestors, The Source of Life; rejoicing in the power and the peace braided with the cords of patience, revealing the tapestry of aloha.

Sincerely in service.

4 December 1998 Letter: Hoailona for Africa Trip (PDF)

Apela Colorado

272-2 Pualai St.

Lahaina, Maui, HI.

96761

04 Dec. 1998

Greetings return to you, Apela, in the love and in the light of the ancestors, The Source of Life.

Aloha Kakou!

Allow me to introduce to you the hoailona for the trip to Africa. The underlined words are the emphasis on the word for the day. Here we go: Here is a key being offered to a gate that lies in the ancestral house of Perfect Union and the realization of how “I Interact.” The question of how you deal with

    opportunity

. You are being presented with the chance to go beyond where you are, you must deal with the not-yet-known, as well as the potential of leaving something behind. The gate is the challenge of interacting with the environment and with others. The question is this: Will you really go through the door?
Now: Encountering the gate, you know you have encountered

    opportunity

. But, you do not know what is on the other side or where it will lead. You do not know if it is positive or negative, or what you will gain or lose. Faced with such questions, you sit in

    indecision

, contemplating the pros and cons of what lie beyond.
The dilemma remains, and will always remain, until you take one deliberate step-

    entering

. You will never know until you do it, and once you do it, everything changes. You are no longer stuck; you are moving into something new and unknown. Beyond that is only

    discovery

, experiencing what you entered. You will always enlarge your landscape as a result of addressing the challenge of the gate.
Now: You are a “Doer” experiencing the ancestors “Star of Impulse,” a transmission of spirit. This star’s energy is all about do anything, be anything, try anything. “The Doer” is a being who does, and does, and does. The energy is that of

    experiencing

, regardless of purpose, regardless of outcome, regardless.
Here is a gift from Na POAI ALI’I, the circle of chiefs that urges

    UNITY Participation

. The gift of the circle lies in the ancestral house of the SPIRIT INCARNATE and is a gift of “I PROJECT.” The gift of togetherness. If I am to project myself, there is nothing I would like more than to be in good company. The circle is

    unity

, the commonality of all things, all a part of a whole, and that gift’s achievement in the world is

    PARTICIPATION

, every person acting like part of the whole.
Now: Here is a key to the wind of change that dwells in the ancestral house of Mana, the realization of “I CARE.” The wind MAKAUKIU is the lesson of give and take. The challenge is one of dealing with exterior forces and energy. To meet the challenge you must learn to shape your caring to the way the world really is.
When NA MAKAUKIU energy rules and can blow away what I made, its effect is felt as

    DISPERSING

. When I, lear that its effect is not against me, I begin to see its effects as

    CHANGING

and respect the ebb and flow of things. The true changeover occurs when I alter my stance to the wind and begin

    ADAPTING

.
This force outside of me is not going away. I can Learn to get along with it, to adapt. Since it is a force, it can be harnessed. I can learn the art of

    DIRECTING

the wind, using its energy to take me where I want to go, remembering, though, that the essence of the force has not changed- only my approach to it. Understand they will grow stronger as they hear the song of joy that are the way of peace.
End of story!
I leave you, Apela, in the love and in the light of the ancestors, The Source of Life; rejoicing in the power and the peace braided with the cords of patience revealing the tapestry of aloha.
Hale Makua
PS.
The catalyst, and all catalyst, is designed to offer

    experience

. This experience may be loved and accepted or it may be controlled. These are the two paths. When neither path is chosen the catalyst fails in its design and the entity proceeds until catalyst strikes it which causes it to form a bias towards acceptance (APONO) and love or separation and control. There is no lack of space/time in which this catalyst may work.
Now: This is one instance and extrapolation may be made to other entities which are aware of the process of evolution.
Agreements: were made prior to incarnation; the first, with the so-called parents and siblings; this provided the experiential catalyst for the situation of offering radiance of being without expectation of return. The second program involved agreements with several entities. These agreements provided and will provide, in your time/space and space/time continuum,

    opportunities

for the experiential catalyst of work and comradeship.
There are events which were part of a program for this entity only in that they were possibility vortices having to do with your societal culture. These events include the nature of the living or standard of living, the type of relationship

    entered

into your legal framework, and the social climate during the incarnation. The incarnation was understood to be one which would take place at harvest.
These givens, shall we say, apply to millions of peoples. Those aware of evolution and desirous in the very extreme of attaining the heart of love and the radiance which gives understanding no matter what the lessons programmed; they have to do with other selves, not with events; they have to do with giving, not receiving, for the lessons of love are of this nature both for positive and negative. Those negatively harvestable will be found at this time endeavoring to share their love of self.
There are those whose lessons are more random due to their present inability to comprehend the nature and mechanism of the evolution of mind, body, and spirit. Of these we may say that the process is guarded by those who never cease their watchful expectation of being of service. There is no entity without help, either through self awareness of the

    unity

of creation or through the Kia’i (guardians) of the self which protect the less sophisticated mind/body/spirit from any permanent separation from unity while the lessons of your density continue.
This is the game: to know, to accept, to forgive, to balance, and to open the self in love. This cannot be done without the forgetting, for it would carry no weight in the life of the mind/body/spirit being-ness totality.

6 January 2002 Letter: What Guides WISN? (PDF)

Apela Colorado

272-2 Pualai St

Lahaina Maui, HI.

96761

6 Jan. ’02

Greetings return to you, Dr. colorado, in the love and in the light of the ancestors, The Source of Life.

Aloha Kakou!

The echo of the ancestors have resounded into these set of words:

The new world will be built upon the ruins of the old. The new structure will rise. Men of goodwill everywhere, under the guidance of WISN, will organize themselves into battalions of life, and their first major task must be the development of right human relations, through the education of the masses. This means the paralleling development of an enlightened public opinion, which is speaking esoterically right response to the sound which conveys the will of the CREATOR to the ears of the attentive. Then humanity will indeed move outward from the desert, leave the seas behind, and know that CREATOR is FIRE.

Kekaula, the SEER, is about that part of us that is ADEPT, knowing the world and how to work with forces in it. As such, ke kaula is a TRANSFORMER, able to bring about change, sometime surprisingly. Kekaula knows how to use his/her own ends and can be seen as a MANINPULATOR. In all, kekaula performs feats that few others can, and almost anyone would regard him/her as INGENIOUS.

Kekaula is composed primarily of the energy of PATIENCE and IMPULSE, and it dwells in the ancestral house of the FIRST CAUSE. Therefore, expressing “I AM” through the energies of IMAGINING and EXPERIENCING; and expression of the sea of dreams.

In this place, one experiences the beginning and ending of things- the spark, the idea. It is the NORTH, the unknowable, the MYSTERY. It is where all things come from, the unlimited potential of THE DREAMER. We swirl in all that can be, before and after it is real.

The expressions of the crossroads are Kekaula and keihoiho kukui (candle)

The keys to realization are in the hoailona of Ke komo kula (ring) and kaapu (the cup). The gateway to heaven is the lele (tower), where REFLECTION provides access and FOCUSING ATTENTION makes a way out.

Now: Kalua (hole, pit) is about being receptive. The approach is one of Openness to all that is around you, receptive life, ALLOWING PERCEPTION OF OTHER REALITIES beyond the everyday and normal.

These approaches in combination lead to seeing the simultaneity of life, the intermingling of cause and effect, the wholeness of the moment and the universe at large. Kalua symbolizes the gateways of “I FEEL” and “I PROJECT”. It is also the gate to and from the SEA OF MAGIC.

Here the mystery comes forth, just beneath the fabric of LIFE, a buoyant undercoat woven by the “FEELER”. Through the energy of INTERNALIZING, that which is latent congeals. We are not powerless and simply placed on earth; we feel the wonder within.

The crossroad of expressions are “MAHEALANI MOON” an “KEANIANI” (glass).

The keys to realization are in the MO’O and KEKAULA HAO (Chain). We are as strong as the weakest link.

The gate of the “HOLE” provide access through PERCEPTION OF OTHER REALITIES and exit through OPENNESS.

Now: No Ka Pua Loke La Kealoha- the ROSE, the flower of aloha, dwells in the ancestral house of the MATRIX and in the realization of “I WANT”. It represent the dilemma between what I want, how I want it and the way things just are. The challenge of the warriors is to realize the beauty of what is, and to be in step with the process of becoming.

Ka Pua Loke, the flower rose, is the question about perfection, about my inner sense of how things are supposed to be. When I a idealizing, I am in a fantasy  world of letter- perfection- according to me-. I can be a little more realistic.

Now, I am only PERFECTING. You could be better. Allow me to show you what is wrong. The trouble is inside me, I am not perfect. So, everything that is not perfect in me, I end up seeing as imperfection in the world, and in you.

I can choose to see all this another way. I can see the whole thing as UN-FOLDING, never quite perfect but always getting better. I can even see you in this new light. After all, you are dealing with your sense of perfection too.

Better yet, I can let go of the idea of my being perfect and relax into EXPRESSING who I am and how I like things to be. Just being can be its own perfection, even if it is beyond me. This way you get to be right too; within the sea of time and innocence.

In this sea, of time, we exist and experience. Duration leads to sequence, and we separate then from now, this from that, and you from me. Everybody wants to do something; we stir.

Here shines IMPULSE, “THE DOER.” He fills this place with the desire to experience. The crossroad of expressions are the PA KUKUI (WANDERER) and KE IPOAHI (THE LOVER). The keys to REALIZATIONS are in the APU (CUP) and KA PUA LOKE. The way in and out is through the GATE of the MIKILIMA (GLOVE) where PROJECTING IDENTITIES gains access and ACCEPTING ASSISTANCE creates an exit.

In this place, INNOCENCE, we still hear the voice of “THE SPEAKER”, that which sent us forth and which beckons us onward. Under the star of REACHING, we GROW and pursue living.

The crossroad of EXPRESSIONS are KE KEIKI (THE CHILD) and KE KUMU LA’AU (THE TREE). The keys of realization are through KA PUA LOKE (THE ROSE) and PAUKA (POWDER). Access and exit are through the gate of WAIPA’a (ICE), where clarity gets one in and CHANGEABILITY lets one out. Here we recall our inner guidance. The sea of Innocence is shared between the ancestral houses of “THE MATRIX” and “THE MOTION.”

Now: KOLOA, the DUCK, describes the part of ourselves that is CONVENTIONAL, going along with the way things are. To do so is to go with the grain, not against it, and so KOLOA symbolizes a kind of NATURALNESS, being in step.

It shows a SENSE OF HUMOR, that life does not have to be all seriousness. this same part of us can show SELF DOUBTS, a nagging about one’s own originality. It can also be SELF-EFFACING, doing things more for the sake of the team than for itself.

KOLOA is composed principally of the energy of LAUGH and INWARDNESS, and it dwells in the ancestral house of IMAIKALANI, the blind ali’i of Ka’u, THE SPIRIT INCARNATE. Therefore, KOLOA is expressing “I PROJECT” through the mana of EXTERNALIZING and INTERNALIZING; and expression of the sea of laughing hats.

In this sea are all lifes actors, each with permission to act out his or her role. “THE PLAYER”eggs us on. He encourages us to enjoy being on stage with his energy of EXTERNALIZING. We can be anything we choose, at least for a moment.

The crossroad of expressions are the LUA’APANA (JESTER) and KOLOA (DUCK). The keys of realization are through KE KAULA HAO (THE CHAIN) and the KIHEI (ROBE). Entry and exit are through the gateway of the IHE (SPEAR), where SELF EXPRESSION makes a way out. THE SEA OF LAUGHING HATS are shared with the ancestral houses, THE SPIRIT INCARNATE and THE ANCESTRAL GRAND PLAN.

The echo of the ancestors is complete, therefore, I leave you, Dr. Colorado, in the love and in the light of the ancestors, The Source of Life; rejoicing in the power and the peace braided with the cords of patience, revealing the power of the universe, your aloha.

Sincerely in service,

Hale Makua

Why Global Elders? Ver. 30/04/07 (PDF)

Dr. Sekagya Working draft 1 (30.04.07)

Questions for Indigenous Elders:

1. What could a group of global Elders do for the world?

a. The world includes the elders. While in the same boat, you participate in protecting the boat from sinking. The elders have a role of;

i. preparing the incoming and future elders

ii. preparing for their next destinations as ancestors

iii. Acting as a reference knowledge base (reference to other wise difficult, inaccesible and rate indigenous knowledge that can not be valued until accessed.

iv. It is very difficult to value what one does not know. It is equally difficult to know what you do not value. But it is very logical to know what others value and to value what others know.

v. Future values are the presently preserved non-values to the present common mind and eyes.

2. Who should global Elders they be?

a. Who is an elder?

b. What qualifies one to be an elder?

c. Who recognizes and elder?

i. Elders are people recognized by their communities and have extrasensory perceptions

ii. Elders are traced back to the manner of their origin, the transformation of their inner structure, their material and non-material elements and their characteristics.

iii. Elders are formed through a transformation processes them from inside out.

iv. there is a real connection between a non-material structure and human lifestyles of an elder.

v. Elders are always chosen by certain people with particular traits.

d. This call for development of a culture of discipline, learning and devotion to elders.

3. What do we need to do to fully respect the Earth?

a. Like most world elders know, everything is energy. The elders have a role to educate the world the ways to nurture the intuitive abilities to the feel of an environment (the Earth). Since this is a dynamic effect, we can change the energy of your environment by learning how to give thanks to all our insights and consider the values of divine inspiration, collective unconsciousness, strengths and deepen our will and understanding, and encourage linkage into a tremendous, interdependent system.

4. How may we best communicate to the large world of humanity what needs to be done to reach world harmony?

a. Elders are communicated to in various ways. These ways may not make sense to the common mind; neither does it need to make sense for it to be true anyway!! It is when these communication channels are unblocked and cleared should the larger world of humanity benefit and harmony be restored.

b. To give an example; Elders have the secrets of how to understand and affect the energy in order to better predict and direct a persons current life and the future, the powers and potential of human body, mind and spirit to manifest the future one might desire.

c. Elders have harmonized human senses of Intuition, Feeling and Senses of Touch, Smell, Sight, Hearing and Test. Senses of intuition and feelings are the basics of knowing. Elders take the first heed of a Muscle twitch and Pay attention, take Notice of their feelings and act on their feelings. Some information can be given in a flash, which information is at times difficult to be put in words

d. It is not unusual for statesmen to be guided by their own intuition of the intuitive powers of others1.

e. We all do not learn our knowledge from the books. Some people, seems like, they plug into a mystical computer and down-load the secrets of the universe

f. We all have intuition (we may or may not use it)

5. What do our young people most need to know?

a. Need to develop a culture of discipline, learning and devotion to elders.

b. We all do not learn our knowledge from the books. Some people, seems

like, they plug into a mystical computer and down-load the secrets of the

universe

6. How may men and women best understand each other?

a. Understand the indigenous values of marriage, its process, legitimates,

symbolism and consequences

b. An example of Bride wealth or (brideprice)

i. A token of appreciation to the parents and a bridge of new

relationship between families, the public proclamation of man and

woman, a symbolism of love and formal agreement of everlasting

friendship and identity. It legitimize, sex, the children, woman and

man rights, security, respect, … its moral values, a sign of

commitment

ii. However, modern times has abused bridewealth (bride price) by;

commercializing it, as an avenue of getting rich quickly and

making it as a personal commitment rather than a family or

community affair. Is interpreted as a payment for the bride.

iii. This abuse has resulted in increased cohabiting and divorce rates

c. It is the role and responsibilities of the Council of Elders to restore the

order of trends.

8. How do we increase respect for each other, tribe, and people?

bring world harmony and healing?

a. This calls for people, like the elders, to harmonize their understanding of

Language of symbolism. (This urgently calls for a meeting of the

council of elders)

i. This language of symbolism is a universal language symbolism,

numbers, and metaphysical allegory. They have hidden meanings

that Can be misinterpreted and manipulated

ii. Such symbolism include; Fire, Sacrifice and are expressed in many

arts forms of dance, music, art, carving, and so forth- that are used

to bring world harmony and healing?

contained in Symbolic thoughts, Understandings, Ancient symbols and

formation and pattern making are part of our survival”. In any case,

sometimes irrationality has its own rationale2

10. How do we find out the most important needs of people(s) without a voice

and assist them?

a. How can we find answers when we are not sure what the questions are?

b. And how can we find answers when we are not sure who to ask the

questions?

i. These are two important issues to look out for and it is people with

extrasensory perceptions that will take the lead. These are mainly

the elders

ii. Since Extra-sensory perceptions are defined as the apparent

reception of information through means other than the known

sensory channels. The individuals having these experiences are

said to be psychic and such people see beyond the limits of our

present understanding.

iii. It is presently commonly believed that humans possess more than

five senses. Some additional faculty enables the elders sense

occurrences before they happened, or apprehend what is in

someone else’s mind, or be aware of an event taking place far

away. This faculty permits a glimpse into another plane of time or

space, unreachable by the ordinary senses of hearing, seeing ,

touching, tasting or smelling.

iv. Attempt have been made to categorise these abilities into

Clairvoyance Telepathy; Precognition; Retro-cognition and so

on. Much as these attempts may not be true, they are credited by

most Elders as a way towards understanding and respecting their

inherent potentials.

c. Human belief in psychic powers has been with us always and it remains

strong. In the book Psychic Powers 1987, Mary Craig believed that while

some people are especially gifted, psychic talents can be cultivated by

anyone.

our personal suffering and our discontent

11. What rituals or ways are appropriate for this work? Fire ceremony?

Libations? (How do we bring the Great Spirit into the vision of all to be

honored loved and followed?)

a. Whatever the form of rituals, rituals are rituals. Most elders look and

consider rituals for its place in the community, its prescription and desired

results, its scope (individual, family, group, community?)

b. Preparation for the ritual is at times more significant than the ritual itself.

It involved psychological, intellectual and physical preparations.

12. Does dogma work?

a. Integrates transmission of value and education

b. Dogma is complex, you can only find in it what you want.

Please let us take note that all in all is about Self-empowerment, and human reality. The

variable interpretation of the values of the Sun, the Planets in motion, are all in each of

us and our own realities.

This reality which is defined by ourselves, will create mutual bonds with other humans or

form boundaries between us and others. If you have shared experiences with someone,

you will have the same reality. If you have someone who shares the same knowledge as

you , you also share the same reality. Two experts in the same field will soon begin to

exchange technical knowledge even if they have only just met five minutes earlier.

People who have the same traditional knowledge views will quickly gravitate towards

each other. Reality is something completely subjective, yet the individual experiences it

as absolute and valid.3

In healing, it is very important to know the patients reality: a healer will not be able to

help the patient if he/she attacks the patients’ reality, deny it or devalue it. Only if we

accept another reality as given will be able to help someone to change, if that person is

having problems or difficulties and wishes to overcome them.

Introduction

Until the present time, we have had to stretch Western science so far that knowledge about Indian culture seems unreal. Research has been perceived and presented as monocultural, thus not accepted by the Indian community. All peoples including Native Americans have science or a way of coming to knowledge; each tribe has its specific methods, but for the purposes of introducing the concept of Native science, we will deal in generalization about “Native” metaphysics.

Reflecting on the implications of “sciences”, it is clear that a bicultural research model recognizing both Indian science and Western science needs to emerge. Newly evolved Western research methods such as ethnographic research, content/issue analysis, and the framework of Participatory Research can be drawn upon to complement or meet Indian science and culture.

Traditional Indian science must be articulated in contemporary terms to permit scholarly exchange growth and to empower Indian people in the scientific arena. further, an integration of Western and Indian ways of thinking must occur if we are to develop research strategies and outcomes which are acceptable and respected by both cultures. (“Integration” refers to a blending of research findings, not the domination or extension of ideological control by one culture’s science).

A bi-cultural research model must be both valid and reliable; strengthen traditional Indian science and enhance cross-cultural communication and understanding, and simultaneously promote the growth of both sciences. This paper will present an epistemological foundation of Indian science and will explore the possibility of creating a scientific, intercultural, infrastructure.

Uli: Mirrors and Horned Beings (PDF)

Conversation with Kapi’ioho November 19, 20, 22, 2008

Mohai, sacrifice, to be of higher plane.

  • Horns symbolizes, ‘what sacrifices itself for us.’
  • We use the horn to call that spirit.
  • It is the reminder. The Aumakua remind us to remember the sacrifice.
  • Some chiefs wear the horn (on the head) to show/strengthen the connection to the animal but may forget the sacrifice and say, ‘I’m as great as this God/Animal and‘I’ sacrifice and feed you, like this animal.”
  • Its spirituality in its purest form, created in the center of the universe; created between things. That gigantic atom in the sky is in us also. The space between two heavenly bodies is not as big as the space between the atoms in us. In that space is Uli, darkness, not Po which is the lack of light. In between is the energy and the harmony. The Black Hole, eats; the White Hole puts out.
  • Spiritual perfection; the yin-yang in interaction – power and harmony blending together to create spiritual perfection. Kahuna contact and remain in contact with Uli to help people.
  •  Spirituality is based upon the blending between power and harmony. Power is the uncontrollable force and harmony is actually like a blob! They need each other and must go together.
  • Medicine People go into Uli; become Uli and then come back out. Religious people can’t get close. They are not supposed to. You meet the Aumakua and things that sacrifice self for physical existence and then become that – those Horns or symbols of what they represent. We come back and draw the true figures.
  • When you look in a mirror, when do you see it? Sometimes not. Depends on the person, moment.
  • Dimensions may move around.
    ~

Uli, look into Uli the place of perfection; it comes back into us.

Ma uli, In the place of darkness it’s the space between things where enormous spirit energy and harmony comes to us. This is not the spirit of the Ancestors. Energy plus harmony equals, spirituality.

Hewa, The curse we put on ourselves. When we leave work; leave the work there, don’t bring business back to the home or the home concerns to work.

Bring Hawaiian language into the work business, in memos, in greetings, even in simple ways it will help to bring forth our thinking.

We have to be at peace. When we’re around someone who is at peace with the past, future and self and each other, it’s contagious. Barack Obama is at peace with himself.

Hamo…..to breathe through the spine; to deal with stress. Ie. Some meals are high stress meals!

I don’t go to ULI with a question, maybe I have them in my mind somewhere but I don’t think about them (in this moment). I go to Uli and certain things are revealed. Maybe and issue you had or something Spirits decide you need.
I go with an empty cup and fill it with whatever is given.

It brings a bunch of clarity. That’s what is given.
When you go there, you don’t want to come back but to stay as long as you can and then come back as soon as you can.

Po is where the Ancestors are at.
Uli is where the higher forces are. The Kahuna can go back and forth to Uli where you meet particular teachers. Their teaching becomes clear. Sometimes clarity makes me more confused in a human way which has to make sense (of it).
When we meditate, we start to put it together.

I meditate before I drive with no objective; then I drive. Aumakua appear. Now I am in another dimension and at the end I come up with fantastic thoughts.

I never went in with an intention of soloving one thing but came out with it. I’m looking for answers in there (Uli) but not consciously. When I come out, I’ll know I was with someone but in there, I’m gone. Out of it, in this clarity, I’ll know if it was an Ancestor.

I’ve worked on helping others to allow others to go to a deeper place. Hewa, allow things to control you.

Help them find peace from with in. Bring peace in and Heva has to get out but it’s a fight because its been comfortable in there (in the psyche or heart). The body nearly stops. Work on the senses to get going.

11 June 2007 Personal Correspondence to Mr. McLeod (PDF)

Mahalo. Thank you very much for buying my sculptured vase. Kathy, the sales

June 11, 2007

Aloha Mr. McLeod,

woman said that you were drawn to the piece. It makes me wonder when a person is
attracted to a piece because as an artist, I also have had an experience in creating it.

Note that your piece is the first of it’s kind. The design is new and has evolved
over the years of making vases, exploring and trying to discover new expressions. The
wood is of ‘Cook Pine’, a species brought to Hawaii over one hundred years ago. It
looks like a tall Christmas tree. Although the wood is not interesting when first cut, after
letting it ‘spelt,’ the dark shades start to appear. This is what gives the piece so much
character.

The wood is then turned and checked for thickness with a caliper; however, I take

the process one step further. I do a second check with a light. When I see light shining through the wood, I know that I’m close to its finished quality. The wood is then dried and soaked in an oil solution of my own making. After drying fully, I coat it with five coats of epoxy.

I had a wonderful adoptive family who cultivated my talent with wood and

When I heard that this piece was going all the way to Scotland, I was deeply

.

I’ve been doing wood working all of my life and I do it because I enjoy creating

works of art that people appreciate. On my tool box is a sign stating, “To honor the tree
Spirit.’ I believe that if I produce a work of art that people treasure, I have truly honored
the Spirit of the tree. For me, creating in wood is also an experience of shared inspiration
with the essence of the tree itself. To capture the beauty of the living wood in a piece of
sculpture that moves people in a good way is indeed a very rewarding experience.

moved for I am half Scot. I was adopted into a Hawaiian family at three days of birth and
had the gift of carving since age five but it was not until a dozen years ago that I found
my Japanese birth mother and learned that my father who was a U.S. Navy man named
Clifford Willis whose ship stopped in Honolulu where he met my mother. They were
never married. He went off to fight the Japanese in the South pacific and my mother’s
family, first generation Japanese in Hawaii, made her give me up for adoption.

provided a deep education in the culture and ways of old time Hawaii. Because of this
and because of my gratitude to them, I went on to re-create the double hulled Hawaiian
voyaging canoes, the images and all of the other cultural icons. This in turn helped
trigger the Hawaiian renaissance of the 1970s and was written up in National Geographic.
Oddly enough, when I did find my birth mother, I met an Uncle, who was 95 at the time
and had also appeared in National Geographic because of his artistry with wood and
design!

My wife and I tried numerous ways to find Clifford Willis but so were not able to.
In an attempt to connect with my Scot ancestry, I took up fly-fishing and dreamt of a trip
to Scotland. I studied maps of your lakes and noticed a loch ‘Leven’- my English name
is, ‘Levan’ given me by an Aunty as Hawaiian culture dictates. Usually a lot of thought
and meaning goes into a Hawaiian child’s name so I asked her what the name means.

So, the story of your attraction to this piece and all the difficulties you’ve

Much to my shock, she said she did not know – it just came to her! Now I wonder if there
is a connection to Scotland – if something was breaking through?

experienced in getting it home, touched me. In fact this is the first direct contact I’ve
ever had with this side of my heritage. I feel really good to know that a part of my
creation, and life is there in Scotland with you and hope you and your wife get years of
pleasure from this Kanoa or bowl of Light.

If by chance, you should come across any connection or information about the
Willis Clan (from Southwestern Scotland) please let me know. I still hope to find my
family, there.
