Huna Principle #2

Leave a reply

One more post. I’m doing my best to be more attentive to this blog. 🙂

Our second principle is the boldest statement of the bunch:

There Are No Limits

Let me start an explanation by quoting Serge Kahili King again:

“There are no real boundaries between you and your body, you and other people, you and the world, or you and God. Any divisions used for discussion are terms of function and convenience. In other words, Separation is only a useful Illusion. An additional meaning of this principle is that there are unlimited potentials for creativity. You can create, in some form or another, anything you can conceive.”

This explanation gets into some of the other Huna principles, such as the ideas that everything is connected and part of a greater whole. Because everything is connected and part of a greater whole, you have vast reserves of spiritual power flowing through you.

So does this mean you can jump off a building and fly? The best answer to that, in my opinion would be found in an old episode of Star Trek: The Original Series. The bridge officers were trapped on yet another alien world and they were facing off against re-creations of the Clanton gang at the OK corral. Spock realized that everything was all some sort of illusion, but real enough that believing in it even in the slightest would mean it could kill you. When he used the Vulcan Mind Meld to completely remove any doubts that the experience was an illusion, the crew was immune to the gunfire.

What I meant by that anecdote is that it may very well be possible to fly IF we could go through and put all those factors mentioned in the last post into absolutely flawless alignment and eliminate even the slightest doubt that we could. That’s a herculean task. Even the best hypnotist or worst drug trip is going to leave some part of your mind with rational doubt. It would take achieving a Buddha’s level of mental development.

Now if even that possibility sounds at all far fetched… Consider that until 1954, the four minute mile was considered an unbreakable barrier. It was common medical belief that a person’s heart couldn’t even take the strain of running that fast that far. After that barrier was finally broken, it quickly became routine. The current world record is down to 3 minutes and 43 seconds (and change). So much of what we do is limited by self doubt and societal scoffing. We may eventually get there (unaided flight) as a species, but it will likely be the far future.

Continuing that analogy, it’s far better in my opinion to use that principle of energy taking the path of least resistance and seeing what invention you can come up with to get the job done. Jet packs were thought to be impossible 10 years ago. We have prototypes making the news now. 😉 That’s the “some form or another” aspect of the quote above.

I guess what my sleep deprived mind is saying is to believe you’re capable of far more than you think, and don’t be afraid to reach for more, or manifest big dreams. Just also remember the last principle of Huna: Effectiveness is the Measure of Truth. More there later, but for the sake of this discussion it means take anything a step at a time, prove to yourself you can do that much and then proceed a bit further.

That’s the manifestation and spiritual end of things. From a living and psychology point, no limits means accepting that life can be as good as you want it. Faith and a positive attitude (supported by the other Huna principles) will help make it so.

Huna Principles, Pt 1

Or number 2, since I already did “Energy Flows Where Attention Goes”

Either way, I promised (sort of) to cover the other six core principles of Hawaiian Huna. The first one is:

The World Is What You Think It Is

Right away, I’m going to eliminate the elephant in the room; those of you familiar with the Law of Attraction are going to notice these seven principles sound alot like LOA teachings. I prefer to think of it as similar but more clearly explained. It’s more than mind tricks for manifesting material goodies though. Read and reasoned through carefully, it’s a philosophy for living life happily and in harmony with the universe.

OK, so let’s get back to “The World Is What You Think It Is”. To quote Serge Kahili King; “This is the cornerstone principle of Huna, and it means that you create your own personal experience of reality through your beliefs, expectations, attitudes, desires, fears, judgements, feelings, and consistent or persistent thoughts and actions. This principle also contains the idea that by changing your thinking you can change your world.”

This has been said in many different ways among many cultures. It’s EASY to gloss over and ignore. There are powerful truths here however. First, let’s look at all the things that can impact your reality:

Beliefs, expectations, attitudes, desires, fears, judgments, feelings and consistent or persistent thoughts

To put it concisely, there are several ways to trip yourself up. To truly get the life and manifestations you want, ALL those things need to be in alignment. As an easy example, it doesn’t matter how much you want and wish for a million dollars. If your beliefs are that life is stacked against you and that you’re actually unworthy of the money, or that money is evil, or rich people are evil, you’ll never get it.

Manifestation and just living a happy life is all about aligning your thoughts.

Something else that needs to be addressed here is the word “experience” that was used. Spiritual energy shares a few traits with physical energy. One of them is that energy takes the path of least resistance. Hence the world “experience” instead of “reality”. So if you spend all your time wanting the world to be the best place possible and truly think the best of people, that is what you’re going to see and notice out in the world. A pessimist, or somebody that believes in a specific cause, etc… is going to notice things that support their world view also. The world is what you think it is. This little tidbit is true enough to make the vast majority of people also tune out things contrary to their views.

SO, you really do create your own reality. The universe simply works smart and instead of using vast amounts of energy to rewrite reality to everyone’s individual whim, it simply helps them focus on the aspects of our shared reality that they want or expect to see.

That pretty much covers the last line also; “This principle also contains the idea that by changing your thinking you can change your world.” Like everything in Huna, this sentence has multiple levels of meaning. Changing your attitude will change your world view and emotional state. On a higher level, manipulation of spiritual energy requires a changing and unification or focus of thought patterns and beliefs.

The Biggest Trick to Survival as an Empath

A post here is LONG overdue.  That said, let me just get straight to things so I avoid rambling.

This is one of those things that’s soooo simple I’m afraid it will get overlooked and discounted, much like God telling the Isrealites to look at Moses’ staff to be healed in the wilderness.  I see empaths making this mistake over and over again though, even when they should know better.

So what is the “trick”?  Do NOT be a slave to your feelings.  I know this runs contrary to popular culture, and much teaching (or talk at least) about empathic ability.  Feelings are sacred!  Feelings are power to shape the universe!  I understand getting caught up in that mess too.  I’ve had friends literally half a world away that I could sense everything going on in their lives.

Feelings are irrational and can lead you down dangerous paths sometimes.  The classic, hell stereotypical example of falling in love with a physically and emotionally abusive bad boy (or girl), for example.  Your heart can lead you astray when dealing with con artists and “players” also.  Then there’s just getting sucked into other peoples’ hate also.  Those kind of people feed on the negative energy you send them.

If you learn to pay attention to feelings without worshiping them…  Use your intellect to explore if they’re yours, somebody else’s or even rational, you can do ALOT to take back control of your emotional well being as well as your mental and physical health.

The alternative is becoming a person who is always consumed by sadness and drama, and attracting even more of it to you.  Remember, Energy Flows Where Attention Goes.  Optionally, you could get angry, bitter and withdraw from much of life.  That’s an even bigger hell for an empath.  No matter how much we think we’re introverts, we need other people around us.

Sadly, most empaths are so dependent upon their empathy as a radar and interpersonal communication guide, they don’t even realize that you can shield yourself from emotional energy just like any other form of spiritual energy.  You may have to cut spiritual attachment “cords” though to be truly effective.

One trick here that I’ve only recently figured out (there’s ALWAYS room to learn and grow) is to use a bubble shield and then “feel” the emotions hitting the shield without letting them through.  It’s been a godsend technique for me.

A Lesson From Hawaiian Huna

I had another article that I was going to do first, BUT I think this is important for laying the groundwork for the other post.  Heck, maybe I’ll cover more about Huna after this, as I’ve been fascinated by it for ages.  For those NOT in the know, Huna is a Hawaiian spiritual philosophy (not a religion).  There’s not a ton written about it.  That’s largely because it’s made up of 7 simple precepts.  However, the more you practice and think about them, the more you’ll realize how they connect and the deeper meanings and possibilities.

This isn’t the first precept, but it’s the one I’m going to talk about today.  Maybe I’ll do the others in future posts.  This one is a key concept for Empaths and anybody with spiritual gifts to grasp though:

Energy Flows Where Attention Goes

Odd but true story; I was reciting this one on my own (the exact wording) since I was 7 or 8 years old.  That was long before I’d heard of spirituality in any form beyond organized Christian religion.  Then again, I’ve been told I’m reincarnated from Mu (Lemuria); the mythical Polynesian ancestral home also.

If you think about it, nearly every school of spiritual teaching has SOME variation on this idea.  It’s a key principle in the Law of Attraction.  It’s a basic psychology concept too.  I think Huna puts it most concisely however.

So why is the concept important?  Because like energies attract.  That means you get more of what you focus on.  This is doubly dangerous for an empath.  Get caught up in negative emotions (usually not even your own), focus on them, and what you’re doing is drawing even more negative energy towards you (and into your system).  This is a common trap for emapths.  Its why so many of us stay miserable until some big event that’s charged with positive emotional energy shocks the empath out of their pattern.

The drivel nowadays that feelings are sacred and we should wallow in them endlessly only helps to deepen the trap.  Feelings are many things, but first and foremost they’re tools and meant to be balanced by the tool of intellect.

From any spiritual standpoint, never focus on the problem.  All you’ll do is feed it and make it bigger.  Acknowledge the problem, but put your focus on all the possible solutions.  You’ll draw positive energy to you and open the doors to a solution instead of perpetuating the problem.

As I mentioned earlier, this idea even carries over to psychology.  So whether you believe it’s a matter of spiritual energy or simple mindset, it holds true.

If you’re curious about the Law of Attraction aspect of this and why the LOA never seems to work for most poeople…  There’s a trick there also.  You don’t get what you want; you get what you believe you deserve.  That’s why egomaniacs and sociopaths always seem to to so well in life until karma catches up with them.  What you believe you deserve is always where the majority of your energy will go though.

If you REALLY want to change your life; learn to think positive, believe in your self worth (without becoming a narcissist) and remember that Energy Flows Where Attention Goes.

A Few Tricks

It’s been about a week since I posted anything here.  Mainly because I’ve been feeling a bit lost for lack of a better term.  It feels like a dark night of the soul is trying to take hold but ain’t quite making it.  I’ve been too tempted to write complaining posts that wouldn’t be productive.

Keeping in mind that I need to write SOMETHING here though…  Here’s a few theoretical how-tos.  Note the theoretical also.  I’ve never gotten either to really work.

 

First is the easier one: Telekinesis.  I’ve had only the barest hint of success here, making a towel on a rack move just slightly, etc…  The trick here is not to move the object.  The idea is the sense the object’s energy or aura and to move that.  The object HAS to stay with it’s aura.  It’s kind of like the old judo maxim of where the head goes the body has to follow.  This is also why Yoda said the size of an object being moved didn’t matter (except as a mental block).  The trickiest part for some will be the sensing of an inanimate object’s energy

 

The second is the holy grail of spiritual gifts for some; Teleportation.  NO luck here, not even the slightest.  The supposed trick is to mentally move part of YOUR energy somewhere else and anchor it there, then let go of the remainder of your energy’s anchor where you’re at.  Theoretically you and your energy poof to the location where you put the other part of your energy.

Again, sounds possible in theory since it’s similar in idea to how quantum entanglement works.  If it is at all, I’d say it takes a solid ability to sense spiritual energy on that quantum level.

 

Anyway, not saying it’ll work for anybody, BUT there yah go.  🙂

An Important Update

I squeezed in another page today, as so many people seem to be struggling with letting go of drama, or having self-doubt hold them back.  I needed to remind myself about the exercise described in this post also.

So what does this exercise do and who does it benefit?  It’s for people who feel really beat down by an issue.  If you’re the type who watches these Navy SEAL-esque “Just Do It” videos that so many gurus seem to be putting out, and only get annoyed by them and feel you can’t do it, this might be for you.  The trouble with those rah-rah videos and blog posts is that they don’t take into account that you have to see the possibility of success for them to be motivated.

If you’ve been so beat down for years by a problem that you can’t see that possibility…  That defeat is actually ingrained in your system, this can help.  The only other option I’ve seen work is when a person hits rock bottom and gets sick and tired of being sick and tired.  Really though, who wants to go THAT route?

The principle behind the exercise is that issues so big have a dual nature.  There’s the energy or emotional component and the mental processes (memories and thought patterns) as well.  The mental processes are what most self improvement and psychology focus on.  What they miss is that the spiritual and emotional energy can and do act as an anchor to keep those memories and beliefs stuck in your head.

Cut out the energetic component and the thought patterns lose their reinforcement.  THEN, you actually CAN just do it.

Here’s the exercise:
