A New Chapter

As always has been, the universe evolves from now to now, presenting new circumstances at an appropriate time. I’ve been easing into being self-employed since November due to a slow-down in business at work, and Friday last week was my last day.  Under the guise of “retirement” I intend to embark on my most creative chapter yet, increase exercise, eat wisely, open some doors and let energy flow though, guided by principles of Huna, my inner promptings and my training thus far.

Of course, if you want to move forward, you get to leave something behind, though our culture loves to keep things beyond the time they’re needed, and, indeed, promotes it.  One of the recurring themes in my study of “what is” and “what could be” is that every cycle naturally ends in release.  Keeping something beyond its appropriateness results in an accumulation of “stuff”, on physical, mental and emotional levels — and that slows you down on your journey.  In fact, it’s been said that our evolution to other realms depends on our being able to move on as soon as you have learned what was to be learned. You wouldn’t want to stay in the 8th grade if you had mastered all the necessary skills to graduate.

I heard a minister once say that when people want to change their life in some manner, she counsels that the first thing to do is to clean your closets, i.e. get rid of the things that are no longer needed, and the things that are not an appropriate part of the new life to be created. Sell or give things away that haven’t been touched in two years, recycle what can be, and junk what can’t.

And here it is, the beginning of Spring. It’s time to choose seeds, cultivate the soil appropriately in a place with the right amount of sun and space for the plant to grow to maturity. Do the same with projects: create/choose the appropriate environment, add the necessary functional components and support systems, and guide their growth with a loose rein.

Choose the destination, but allow the universe to present the vehicle, route and timeline as things progress. Too many expectations can lengthen the process according the beliefs about the steps involved. Things can be complex or can happen in a snap if Huna is used properly. Taoism calls it “Wei Wu Wei”, “Doing Without Doing”, or using minimum effort.

The Most Significant Things I’ve Learned

There are lots of “The Most Important Things I’ve Learned” articles out and about.  I’m taking a slightly different approach. The “most significant things”, as I define them, have a built in focus and direction toward human effectiveness. That is to say, they can serve as tools to make you more effective and get you to your goal sooner in an enhanced state. They can make life better by releasing your talents, the functionalities you have built within you, many of which are “gathering dust” but fully available.

One of these “most significant things” is that our nature is that of a creator.  As creations ourselves, we have the DNA of the creator, which includes the functionalities of awareness and the ability to create. We each experience things and use our mind, body and emotions to do things. We create our present, which is the seed or foundation of our future, by choosing, ideally, to enhance the world, to benefit ourselves and others, which is the essence of “God’s Will”.

Another significant thing is that every “thing” can be seen to be a composite of functionalities.  For instance, the physical body has multiple organs and special-purpose cells with singular functionalities.  Similarly, Huna (see Huna – the Secret), describes tools in our human tool belt for crafting an ideal life and supporting a positive and progressing evolution.  Our subconscious mind has full and direct access to our superconscious faculties, making all information available and any situation producible. That being said, two questions arise:

1) what are the “programs” (memories, attitudes, definitions, categorizations, beliefs, expectations) that are currently stored in our subconscious minds being sent to the creative faculties to produce and reproduce? And

2) what is an effective, efficient way to change the programs that drive the created output, namely, what we experience?

The answer to the first question is highly individual and requires self-examination, observation and analysis. To make this an efficient process, it behooves one to request and expect guidance, and learn to observe and listen to one’s thoughts. The ones that are not reactions may just well be your inner guidance.

As for the methodology, during your daily quiet time, pick a belief, categorization, attitude or expectation that that you have adopted. Is it still appropriate, sensible, loving and beneficial? If not, tell your subconscious mind that this is no longer appropriate and give it a positive, loving alternative to pass on to one’s creative faculty to create and out-picture. That’s it in a nutshell, but of course, since the subconscious loves to repeat things, you will have to be persistent and understanding.

Ready? Go.

Huna – The Secret

Of course there have been many who have said that they have “The Secret”.  Some may, and some may not. What I’m saying is the definition of the word “Huna” in Hawaiian is “Secret”. What kind of secret is it? It’s not a secret that isn’t told. The information is available.  For instance, the Evergreens website has recordings of channeled information about Huna that give the whole rundown. And there are books by Max Freedom Long that give good insight to Huna. But what is it?

Huna is a functionality built into each one of us which we can use to optimize our life, to manifest our intentions in a most efficient way. As a functionality it can be used to help ourselves and others and it could be used to hurt others, but because of the way it works, using it to hurt others backfires and seriously hurts and eventually eliminates the hurter.

We’ve all heard of the conscious mind and the subconscious mind, and there’s also a superconscious mind. Huna calls them the “mid self”, the “lower self, and the “higher self”. The higher self is unlimited in its ability to create and manifest, but the “secret” is that access to the higher self is through the lower self under direction of the mid self. And, as my guru has said, “It’s simple, but it’s not that easy”.

The subconscious mind, as a good servant, takes whatever concepts you give it and does its best to replicate the world you expect and take you where you think you want to go, but “where you think you want to go” is based on everything you’ve been told and everything you’ve experienced, regardless of its validity or truth. Add to that complexes created by the intermingling of experiences and emotions tied to experiences. If the subconscious mind is filled with “garbage”, that’s what you will get in your life.

So, in order to effectively use the subconscious mind to access the superconscious mind, you need to do a lot of “housecleaning”.  For instance, we often do things or react to things in ways that may have been appropriate long ago, but are no longer appropriate because we’ve grown older or our circumstances have changed. It takes self-examination to see why we do things and react the way we do, and it takes will power and guidance to change the way we respond to things.  This is why “It’s simple, but it’s not that easy.”

The beauty of “the system”, if you will, is that an experience is an experience is an experience, i.e. if you use your imaging faculties to create images and tie to them positive thoughts and emotions, you can rewrite the meaning of an incident and, with your conscious mind, tell your subconscious mind, “This is the new meaning and it’s much better for us. Thank you for letting go of the old meaning, and letting the new one persist. Now, whenever ‘this thing happens’ you will respond in the new way.”

So, work with your subconscious mind. See what responses you have that are no longer appropriate. Re-interpret the past, respond in a manner that helps you and others. Create a new world, one step and one smile at a time.
