Huna Principles Part 1

[kelii777]

Hidden knowledge is translated has ʻike huna. My tutu taught me Hawaiian so I am positive that my translations are correct. I did not say that my way is the only way. My ʻohana hail from two different islands, with two different styles of language, and two different creation stories, but; they are traditional views, not something made in the last century. One of the biggest aspect of Hawaiian spirituality is "hoʻomana i ke akua, pela no e loaʻa ka mana ia kakou."

@kelii777

You must know that practically anything in Hawaiian can be said in different ways, so "'ike huna" can mean "hidden knowledge" in general terms, and "no'eau huna" can related to "hidden knowledge in terms of "skill" or "wisdom." I also respect and agree with your viewpoint in Hawaiian as it relates to spiritual mana. And, just for the record, I do not charge for my healing work or for 99% of my teaching. When I do charge for teaching it's for my teaching skill, and not the knowledge.

I respect everyoneʻs freedom of religion; but I am angered when new age concepts are taken from native peoples and then labeled as, the "traditional way."

And I am angered when someone things that their way is the only correct way. I share freely what I was given.

[kelii777]

The kāhuna that I grew up around never charged for doing their practice, they did it out of aloha. When King learns the true meaning of that, maybe he has then gained more Hawaiian insight. Another interesting thing is that in all of these videos, nearly everyone at his hui are not maoli. If we, the indigenous, donʻt even approve of his practice, then can it be Hawaiian. How he prays in this video is not even the correct Hawaiian format, so what gives?

No wai lā kāna ʻike? Where does this knowledge come from if it is esoteric? My kumu are the Kanakaʻole, and they have never mentioned "seven principles" of Huna. The Hawaiian religion is not about self-healing, it is about our interaction with nature and the honor of it. The proper way we say the chant is "huna noʻeau." How can one know of the spirituality, if one knows so little of the language, since the language is spiritual.

@kelii777

The "seven principles" were taught to me by my adoptive Hawaiian uncle as seven Hawaiian words that I translated into English. Different families carry on different traditions. And the proper way to say "hidden knowledge" in Hawaiian is "no'eau huna," the way Edith Kanaka'ole did in her chant.

[kelii777]

Huna is not Hawaiian! Not once has the the practices of "Huna" been mentioned in the Hawaiian newspapers of the 19th century. My kūpuna have never even heard of it. Also, donʻt use the whole "hidden" meaning, because if my kūpuna who were kāhuna never heard of it, why was this guy privy to our practices?

me ke aloha,

@kelii777

Of course it wasn't in the newspapers. This is esoteric knowledge. The word "huna" meaning "hidden" or "(hard to see like) fine dust or sea spray" appears in the Lorrin Andrews Hawaiian dictionary of 1865 and in the Pukui-Elbert dictionary. The use of the word "Huna" to describe the esoteric knowledge of Hawaii is modern. In the past it was referred to as "no'eau huna," as used by Edith Kanaka'ole.

Why is the colour and/or the "power animal" important?

Symbolism-wise or is it something else?

[kanaloa7]

@SubzeroedMind You are right, it is symbolic.

[SubzeroedMind]

@Barbarian216 I like him and I find his books to be interessting both from the psychological and "spiritual" point of view. I wonder why you're so angry about him?

Did you found the book to be full of lies and "BS" orrr?

[oscie1]

@Barbarian216 i never got any results from reading his stuff so i have to agree with you

[SubzeroedMind]

@oscie1 What did you try to do and how did you do it?

[haumea11]

Hey, Huna IS Hawaiian. Look at Serge's article "Huna and Hawaiians on the huna.org website.

[imaginator]

[hawaiihypnosis]

I'm reading the book, "Urban Shaman", and applying the principles taught here with profound effect. May the world learn and benefit from this wisdom.

Thank you! My husband is from Maui. Visited Kahuai two years ago.

Read most of your books and found one about Huna Teachings in a library in Honolulu.
