3 Part Series on the ancient Hawaiian philosophy of life, and how their beliefs then can

help us now.

Part 1: Hawaiian Philosophy of Life: The 7 Principles of Huna(this page)Part 2: Hawaiian Philosophy of Self

Part 3: Hawaiian Levels of Reality

My favorite part of the world is Hawaii.Any island. The scenery is incomparable.

The power of the elements, the water, the

wind, the earth, all combine to form this

awe-inspiring surreal experience thatmakes me feel so insignificant in the big

scheme of things. The people have a spirit

that is so free and loving and contagious

that one cant help feel at home here.

I can only imagine what it must have been

like to experience this great place so manyyears ago before millions of tourists per

year started visiting. I wish I could have seen Hawaii in the early 1900s when the likes

of Jack London was visiting and writing his, Tales of Hawaii stories. The culture, the

people, the pure base experience of being in Hawaii during that time is beyond myimagination. I can read (and have) Mr. Londons stories over and over and over each

time soaking in the magical words and producing incredible visuals in my head of the

characters and settings.

I lived in Hawaii, on the island of Oahu for 4 years while stationed in the U.S. Air Forceat Hickam Air Force Base from 1985-1988. Then again on Oahu and Maui in 2002 and

2003. Ive since returned as I cant come up with any other place Id rather spend the restof my life. It is a truly magical place. Though many of the old traditions have been

eroded through time one can still get in touch with those traditions through reading about

the history of the islands as well as visiting many historical places located throughout

our 50th state.

This is the first of a 3-part series focusing on the wisdom of Hawaiian people of long ago.

These secret ancient beliefs, Huna, are still of great value and importance for our lives

now, and though you may have heard of some of the ideas presented here, youve likely

not heard them presented quite like this. Some of the ideas are new concepts to us eventoday. Never before under another name have we seen these concepts grouped together as

a life philosophy or guide to knowledge about the world that we live in.

This fi rst part in the Hawaiian phi losophy of l if e ser ies is about the seven pr inciples of

Huna


2/13

Huna is said to have been developed tens of thousands of years ago by ancestors of

present-day Hawaiians in Polynesia. Hawaiian beliefs, religion, or philosophy are linkedstrongly with their observation of nature, human beings, and flora and fauna around them.

Through these observations they sought to make sense of themselves and the world

around them and eventually developed some basic truths that explained life. These

ideas, or this life philosophy one might call it, they named, Huna.

The word Huna means literally, secret and also it refers to the esoteric wisdom of

Polynesia. But, like many Hawaiian words, Huna means more than just secretit can

mean inner knowing or hidden knowledge it is sort of like the reason behind why

all things are as they are. It is the ultimate knowledge about life and this world.

The Seven Hawaiian Huna

Principles of Life:

IKE

KALAMAKIA

MANAWA

ALOHAMANA

PONO

IKE(ee-kay).What we believe is what is real for us. Our ideas create our reality. The world is exactly

what you think it is. Nothing more, nothing less. Another way of saying it is that our

experience of reality is coming from the inside from our experiences, our memories,

our thoughts, beliefs, ideas, our desires and ambitions. Everything that we experience isphenomenological - which means, specific to ourselves. IKE means that our reality that

we experience here during life is flavored by all that weve experienced in the past and

how the past has molded our minds and personalities to be the way that we are.

KALA.

No limits exist. That which we see as limiting, that which we fear we cannot overcome orsurpass exists in our minds only. If we want to accomplish something we can

accomplish it, but we must conquer the mind before the milestone. The limits of the mind

are created by the past environment the individual experienced while growing up as a

child and adult. All experience contributes to the state of the mind and personality, and itis through this mind that things are experienced and feared. The limits that we see are

limits imposed on us by our own minds and are not factual limits imposed by the

universe, or something outside of ourselves.

We can only create goals and make decisions related to goals by ignoring the limits that

we set for ourselves. If we dont change what we think are limits - then we never fully


3/13

enjoy life outside the confines of what our own minds limit us to. If we dont surpass the

limits we live a generic life that could not compare to a life without limits.

MAKIA(mah-kee-ah).

Energy flows where attention goes. Wherever there is a flow of energy and attention,events are created. This is a fundamental principle of creating results. Attention + Energy+ Ideas + Action = Results. Wherever your attention is, there is your life. If you focus on

your business with the majority of your time then your business is the area of life where

you will create the most events and results, both positive and negative. If your focus is

primarily on your family life, then that is where energy flows and events are born.

Where does our attention naturally focus? For some, it is the result of their past and all

that combined to create who they are. But, you know what? You can choose anytime tochange your focus! I can change my focus today from being a blogger that talks about

positive personal development issues to being an advocate for the homeless and never

touch another computer in my life. It is entirely possible. Our attention, when left alone -will naturally gravitate towards that which has influenced our minds as important to

pay attention to. For some this is a good thing because they naturally gravitate toward

areas that will bring them incredible success and fulfillment in their lives. For others, they

might gravitate toward alcohol or drugs and the short-lived pleasure they provide. Othersmight naturally put their attention on themselves and be withdrawn, anti-social, and

selfish. Others might want to help the world live better. Every one of us has a different

area our attention goes naturally. It is by choosing to focus our attention on what weWANT that we will break the natural flow of that process and snap us into a new focus

for our attention.

MANAWA.Now is the moment of power. The past and future hold no real power because there is

nothing we can do with either one of them. Think about it, what can we do with the past

right now? Nothing. What can we do with the future right now? Nothing. There is nocause and effect action we can take right now to change the past or future directly.

Impossible. So, what can we do?

Act now. All the power for changing your life exists only in the immediate present. There

is no other time. Its an abstract concept, and yet it shouldnt be. The reason it seems

foreign to us is that we are living in the past or the future for most of our lives. Id say99% of our lives is spent living in the past or future. Do you agree with that or no? Heres

why I think that. When you are eating your food at any meal where is your attention?

Where are your thoughts? You might guess that they are on your food, youd be wrong inmost cases. When we eat - our minds are on the future or past. When we talk on the

phone to someone, our minds are in the future or the past. We are rarely really present

with the person and listening and HEARING as they speak. Our thought runs off into thefuture as we formulate the next few sentences the speaker has inspired. We dont listen

and we dont DO in the present.


4/13

Try this simple exercise. Try to keep your attention in the present for just one minute.

Can you do that? No thoughts about the future, just experience what you are doing right

now - for one minute.

That is what the present looks like. We are so rarely there! Can you see that the present is

where we can perform action that matters for the future and maybe erases the past? Itactually becomes the past once weve done it - so we can positively affect the past andfuture by acting in the present - but not affect anything by being focused on the past or

present.

ALOHA!Aloha means many things, but in one word perhaps its best described as love. Love is

happiness. Aloha is a caring for others as well as or as much as for your own self. Its an

unselfish love, agape love its called by some. But in the spirit of Hawaii Aloha meansso many things. It is like an underlying tone for living life. In Thailand where I spent

some years they have an underlying tone of mai pen rai (may ba ly) which means, no

matter. The Australians say, no worries. The Hawaiians use the idea of Aloha to definetheir society, their relationship with each other and their philosophy of life. It is with

aloha spirit that all things are done. Not meant to harm and not meant to cause

unhappiness to others.

Aloha has so many meanings, Hawaiian historian Serge Kahili King says

The Aloha Spirit is a well known reference to the attitude of friendly

acceptance for which the Hawaiian Islands are so famous. However, it

also refers to a powerful way to resolve any problem, accomplish any

goal, and to achieve any state of mind or body that you desire.

In the Hawaiian language, aloha stands for much more than just

hello or goodbye or love. Its deeper meaning is the joyful (oha)

sharing (alo) of life energy (ha) in the present (alo).

MANA.

Mana is power or energy. All power comes from within. Hawaiian belief is that Mana isthe name for the one source of all the power that exists in the universe. This power is

universal and flows through not only us, but through animals and plants, the foundationof the earth, the skies and planets, and everything that we know exists. Its a life energy

so to speak. This Mana flows through us and gives us the power to do what we believe

we can do. The power to do anything that we decide to do and that we take action

towards.


5/13

Vipassana meditation can bring an individual to the point of knowing this universal

energy. After a couple months of practice I experienced some phenomena that wereextraordinary and impossible to describe with words. The essence of the experience, and

it recurred many times, is that I felt the connection between all things. I felt the energy

and had a knowledge of this energy that was flowing through all things - or perhaps

comprised all things. I wonder if there was some meditation type experience that theHawaiians practiced. I must research that a bit.

PONO.

Effectiveness is the measure of truth. Amethod, a plan, certain actions, when put

in motion may work. If they work, that is

all you need to be concerned with. Thereare many ways to do most things. Dont

pigeon-hole yourself into thinking that you

can only accomplish something in one

way or that there is only one truth. Forinstance, how many ways are there that

someone could find happiness? A million? How many ways could someone cook a fish?

Create a pyramid? Make money to buy a car? Because you see someone accomplishsomething using one method, do not believe that there is just that one method. There are

likely many more ways to go about it. There are always alternatives to what youre doing

is the crux of Pono.

These 7 principles of life, these Huna, are so appropriate for living our lives even today,dont you think? Its a philosophy of life that is positive and helps us believe that there

are no limits to what might be accomplished. Personally I love the ideas presented here

and though Ive heard some of them before its particularly fun to know that people over30,000 years came up with these same ideas. It makes me think that the ideas have even

more truth to them because we still believe them now.

Id encourage you to research more into the ancient writings of Hawaiian culture. There

are some fascinating topics. Did you know that the Hawaiian people of the past practiced

human sacrifice? Yes, its true Look up Heiau on the internet. These were sacredareas where Hawaiians gathered for prayers to the gods and where sometimes human

sacrifices took place. Ive seen Heiaus on Oahu and Maui and they are quite eery places

if one remembers some of what was said to have gone on there.

Part 2 - Hawaiian Philosophy of Self

In Hawaiian Philosophy of Life Part 1 I covered a little bit about the Hawaiian

philosophy of Huna. The teachings of Huna came to western minds via the research andinvestigation of Max Freedom Long who learned them from William Tufts Brigham, a

man that had spent forty years living in Hawaii studying the secret Huna philosophy. Mr.Brigham found quickly that it wasnt so easy to study Hawaiian secrets.

Asking the few Kahunas (Hawaiian spiritual guides or sorcerers) that existed in Hawaii

about the Huna was not met with any success. The Kahuna would not speak with him

about it. Afterall, Huna means, secret. It wouldnt be Huna anymore if they told him!

The Huna were passed on from generation to generation of Kahunas (Hawaiian priests)by mouth and were never written down. However, there were many pieces found in

chants, prayers and songs that the researchers were able to find.

Eventually Mr. Brigham re-translated the chants and prayers that he was able to find in

ancient documents, basing his translation on the root Hawaiian words. This newtranslation opened the doors to Hunas true meanings.

The core idea of Huna philosophy is similar to what Freud revealed about our innerpsychology and yet the Hawaiian ideas were quite a bit more meta-physical The Huna

taught that we as humans are comprised of 3 selves, or 3 minds. An easy English

translation of these would be to name them: subconscious; conscious; and the

superconscious minds.

The subconscious mind is called the Unihipili or low self.

UNIHIPILI

Thought to be like a child. It needs to be loved, and it needs to be treated firmlyand in a disciplined manner

This part of mind brings the unconscious material to the awareness of theconscious mind so that the conscious mind may weigh it, and judge for or against

its importance to the issue(s) at hand.

The low self is the repository of all memory including those regarding emotionsand feelings. This is similar to the reasoning that an animal may possess. Base-

level memories and emotions.

The term low refers to the place in consciousness it resides and is not meant asa reference to where it lies in the hierarchy of the importance of the selves.

The low selfs center rests in the solar plexus, and not in the head.The Kahunas referred to the conscious mind as Uhane, or middle self.

UHANE

Conscious of itself and existence in reality as the individual knows it.


7/13

Ability to reason with logic. Has free will, along with the low self to create as it wishes. The middle self is like the parent of the low self Resides in the head.

The third self or mind is the high self, called the Aumakua by the Hawaiian Kahuna.

AUMAKUA

The high self appears to be comparable to Freuds super-ego in that it knows therules that were learned over time and is like the parent in that it looks at all the

selves or minds and takes into consideration all the information before acting or

making decisions.

This higher self lives at a higher plane of consciousness that is said to existoutside of the limitations of the physical body.

It will not intervene in the day to day life of the individual unless asked to do so.

Not interfering until being asked appears to be a cosmic law that the high selfmust follow.

This mind or self expresses all the divine qualities like compassion, patience,love, forgiveness

Considered to be a combined community of spirits Considered to be a perfect blending of masculine and feminine, an androgynous

self.

Considered to have individual identity and be a blending of all other high selves atthe same time. Interconnected consciousness.

The Aumakua is rather fascinating when examined at some depth. It is the self that

directs non-physical matters like dreams and intuitions through using the subconsciousself or low self. Hawaiian Kahunas tell us that it is the high self that forms your life by

influencing your thoughts, hopes, desires, wants, needs, and fears in the layers of the

middle and low selves.

The Aumakua is believed to have the capability to foresee the future. As ones thoughts

change in the low and middle selves from one day to the next, so to does the future of the

person change. Huna teaches that the low and middle self communicate with the high selfduring the sleep process. Getting enough rest is a good idea. The Kahuna believe that

during sleep the thoughts that you had during the day, the ideas, the feelings, the

experiences that you had are all reviewed at night time as you sleep and are somehow

manifested to become your future through some unexplained, magical way.

To help us live an optimal life each of the 3 selves plays a vital role in our physical,

mental, and spiritual health.

Another belief, (2nd) in the Hawaiian philosophy of our selves or minds is the belief that

there is a vital force, or an energy force within the body. This energy can be said to have3 levels. The lowest level corresponds with the low self, the Unihipili. When the energy


8/13

is there it is a certain level. When the energy or force moves to the middle self, Uhane, it

is believed to be raised to a higher level. Likewise, when the energy is located in the areaof the high self, Aumakua, it is said to be at its most powerful level. This basic energy

flow changes constantly as the needs of the body and mind change.

Thirdly there is the matter of matter. Huna tells us that the 3 selves each have a shadowbody. These are bodies that exist beyond the physical plane, and yet are very real. Theseshadow bodies exist not only for each of the selves, but for absolutely everything that

exists in the material world as we know it: rocks, trees, fish, and boar. These shadow

bodies are like exact duplicates of everything. They are like copies of the physical thing

in energy form. They bind all physical things together through their energy bonds.

The shadow body of the low self is believed to be an energy formed replica of every

tissue and system in our physical bodies. The low selfs shadow body, if we could see it,would look just like our physical body. Kahunas teach that all memory is stored in this

shadow body of the lower self, including emotions and feelings. Huna teaches that all

memory is stored in this shadow body of the low self. The shadow bodies for the low selfand middle selves are said to penetrate the physical body and reside there.

The high self, Aumakua has a shadow body also. It does not reside within the body at all

but is said to be connected to the Unihipili by means of a silver cord, an energy cord.

For the 3 selves to communicate - to work with each other in a dynamic fashion they

must be connected by some method. Kahunas tell us that there is a sticky and elasticenergy substance they term, aka that does this. Aka is a perfect conductor of the energy

needed for the 3 selves to communicate with each other.

The lower self is said to be able to morph into the shape of a connective thread betweenthe middle and high selves.

When one uses the threads often and has a continuous interaction between the low,middle and high selves these threads are said to develop into thicker cords. eloped these

aka threads into aka cords. Thoughts, ideas, emotions in the form of energy travel along

these threads and cords seamlessly between the layers.

In your daily life every time you are interacting with others in the world you are sendingout - and they are sending out, aka threads that connect you. These long sticky threads

enable communication, and if reinforced with a lot of contact and communication the

threads can also become thick cords. I imagine husband and wife have quite an aka cordbetween them!

Communication between people that are not physically together in close proximity is

possible according to Huna and is explained by saying that the communication is enabled

by these long aka cords or threads.


9/13

So, up to this point we understand that shadow bodies exist for all the 3 selves and for

every physical thing in the universe. But, theres more. Every thought in your mind hasits own shadow body around it! Each thought that forms is connected with threads

between the thoughts that came prior to that thought and after it.

Did you ever notice how your thoughts are connected along the same line? I used to do apsychology experiment on my own and ask people to write down a word and then thenext word that comes to mind. I know youve heard of something like this, but this is

more like a chain. Its not that I give you one word and you write down a word and I give

you another word. I give you one word and you write the whole list - triggering each

successive word from the one before.

Its interesting. Invariably you come back full-circle. Try it. Start with the word love and

write the next word for me it would be family. Then, look at family and write thenext word that comes to mind Follow this word link process by writing them all down

with a dash between them - like an aka thread holding them all together. You can almost

imagine the aka holding these words together in a chain. If you watch your thoughts youcan see the same thing. When I meditate I see how one thought is linked to the one that

came before it. They can be linked in the smallest way, but still its enough to generate

the next thought cool to watch.

So, how can you use the wisdom of the ancient Hawaiians and their Huna beliefs to help

you in everyday life? For me it helps by giving me a different way to picture things that Icant see. I know there are parts of the mind - or areas of the mind that are different. I

know that! I cant see them - so its nice to see alternative explanations than just the

western ones that have been presented to me growing up in middle America.

The idea about each thing, thought, and part of our minds having shadow selves isinteresting because, again, when Ive meditated Ive felt this energy force that seems to

pervade the entire universe. Ive felt that its all interconnected and not separate entities.

Its as if I am not separate from it either - I am part of the same life-force, or energyforce I guess would be more appropriate since rocks dont have life - but they are

included in the feeling about the energy that pervades everything.

Part 3: Hawaiian Levels of Reality

This is the last in a 3-part series about different parts of ancient Hawaiian Philosophy ofLife. We went over a small part of what ancient Hawaiian people came to believe through

the teaching of their Kahuna or priests. We have already covered the 7 Principles of

Huna, The 3 Selves or Minds, and today we will cover briefly the 4 levels of Reality

ancient Hawaiians believed in.

The levels themselves are simple in meaning, though

not all that simple to say and they categorize all


10/13

experience into these four levels or categories of belief:

Ike Papakahi covers Objective reality.

Ike Papalua covers Subjective reality

Ike Papakolu covers Symbolic reality

Ike Papaha covers Wholistic reality

The kupua (Hawaiian priest, shaman, or sorcerer) learned to move between these realities

to change experience more definitively.

Ike Papakahi - Objective reality (facts)

This level is taken to mean our conscious and physical state of the body. This level is anobjective state of being that is outside the context of being interconnected with the world.

This view extends to other life forms as well. The plants are separate from each other. Abanana tree is separate from a coconut or Durian tree. The fruit of the tree is separate

from the roots and branches and trunk of the tree which are all separate from each other.

In this reality everything is separate and can be looked at in a different and unique way.

In the case of the trees for instance the leaves might be used to create some medicine. Thetrunk for wood to build something. The roots to steep tea. The fruit - to be eaten by

hungry Hawaiians that have been surfing or hunting all day!

When we look at the organism in terms of it being a combination of all the elements that

make it up and each of the elements as having completely different uses and functionsthen we can expand our knowledge about that organism. In the same way we can look at

ourselves Our minds have different parts. We have a logical part of our mind, a

realistic part, a common sense part, an emotional part, an inquisitive part, and so many

more different parts that we can say comprise the one mind. Each part respondsdifferently to stimuli and thought. Each one contributes MUCH to our lives. We have a

foot that is different from our neck which is different from our hair which is different

from our gonads. Yet, taken together - they form a piece of the puzzle creating one thing,

us. Separately - they perform very different functions.

In this level of reality if you trip over your shoe-string there is an objective reason for it.

Your shoe string is too long, or it became untied because it wasnt tied tightly enough tostart with or some other variables entered the equation like maybe it began to rain and

that loosened the knot.

Ike Papalua - Subjective reality (psychic)This view of reality is where intuition, psychic or telepathic experiences, and all otherinput outside of the objective facts is taken into account. It is a reality that differs with

each individual.


11/13

All things are connected in this realm of reality. We are not separate from anything - not

as a hand to the body and not as our whole self in relation to the table, computer, wall,tree, flower, and other people. We feel a connection with things at times like we feel a

connection with people that cannot be explained, it is just there.

When we are alone with an animal or with our garden we might feel connected to themon some level. When we are affected by something that we believe has power - a cross,an image of Buddha, a Pentagram, these are subjective reality influences that are specific

to you and that mean something to you. There is a connection between you and the things

that you feel connected with.

This level of reality would include other ways to access and collect information from

sources that are outside of the factual arena things like tarot cards, crystal balls, goodluck charms, a deceased persons cremation ashes, crystals, stones, types of metals are all

used to give us a different take on objective reality.

In this level of reality if your shoestring became untied you might reason that it was adead-relative or a ghost that untied it - either to do you harm, or to do you good so you

slow down and dont forget something.

Ike Papakolu - Symbolic reality (shamanic)In this level of reality all of our experience is seen as a dream. Everything is dreaming its

own dream. If we look at another person - they are part of our dream. If we interact with

that person - that too - is part of the dream.

If we are dreaming at night and we are seeing whole scenes of life playing out before us -

the whole point of the dream is the symbolic meaning of the scenes playing out. In this

view, even our experiences during our 16 hours were awake everyday are experiencesthat are put into symbols as they enter the storage of our minds. They are recalled as

symbols, no the real experience.

I can remember my sisters 1 year old birthday party when I was just 3 years old. Doesthat mean that I can recall objectively what happened at the party? No. I remember the

feelings - the basic symbols that were stored in my mind about that time. Everyone was

happy and asking me about my sister and if I loved her. I remember that they talked moreto me than my sister because she couldnt speak - just eat. I remember how they were so

gentle with her and took care of her like a precious doll. The security, the safety, the

warm loving feeling, the happiness of a celebration. These are the things I remember, not

the objective facts.

In this way, our whole lives can be said to play out. We interpret everything going on

around us as symbolic in nature - and its phenomenological. It means, specific to each

person. So, here already we have 2 realities to one that deal with experiences speicifc to

the individual and not necessarily shared between people as objective facts are.


12/13

When we look at a tree, we recall what a tree is. The symbol

for a tree is what we see - not the tree in front of us. The treebecomes a reflection of - a mirror of the symbols in our mind

about the tree.

There is not any sense of believing in the idea of coincidence in this level of reality.Everything is a symbol for something. If you trip over your shoe string, it has a deepermeaning. If you mean to say, societal and you say, sexual. It is no accident - there is

a meaning as to why it happened as it did. Freud liked this same idea, and attributed

things to the unconscious mind giving us a message.

If you kill a dog as you drive your new Lexus SUV it means something. The type of dog

or color of dog may mean something.

Carl Jung and Alan Watts produced some outstanding work on symbols if you want to

dig into it a little deeper.

Ike Papaha - Holistic reality (mystical)This level of reality is the holistic or mystical level. The reality is that everything in the

universe is as one.

You, your friend, your CD Player, your mp3 player, your table, bed, bottled water andbra are all made of the same stuff. Everything is made up of the same energy, the same

underlying building blocks of matter.

There are no dichotomies of this vs. that in this level. Since it is all the same in the big

picture, it is all the same in the small picture - in the details, as well.

In this view of reality if you trip on your too-long shoelaces it is nothing to become upsetat. There is no difference between you and the shoelaces. Everything is one - and your

shoelaces are undone or they are tied, no matter. If you hit a dog in the road you might

feel the pain of that dog dying on the side of the street and you might know that thatdog is you and that you are also that dog. You are interconnected with everything so as a

result you take care of everything, not just yourself. There can be no selfishness or

preferential treatment towards something instead of another thing. You cannot treat other

people badly because you realize that were all in this game together and that you dont

want your actions to hurt others in any way.

Ultimately, reality is what you think it isThere is good reason that the molecular biologist, the Roman Catholic Pope, Alan Watts,and a fully-conscious Zen monk will not agree on WHY things happen as they do in this

life.

People today tend to live as believing one of the realities above, or maybe two - ablending of two. Everything that we experience is interpreted according to our own

reality. A person that engages in swinging or polyamory has a different mindset than


13/13

myself. A person that attends a Christian church, Buddhist Temple or other religious

service regularly and believes in their religion has a different reality than I do.

I tend to identify with the scientific based fact reality since its what I feel good with.

There are 2 other realities that strongly conflict with mine - and the holistic reality is

somewhat comfortable to me because Ive meditated in the past and felt that oneness orconnectivity between all things - all matter and organisms Yet it isnt something that

base many decisions on.

Each of us interprets in our own way and live our lives according to our beliefs about

reality. None of us is correct absolutely - meaning that our interpretation cannot be goodfor others - but, its good for us because thats all we have. There is no universal reality

that people share. Thats one thing that separates us all - we are profoundly different in

this area as its very hard to find even 2 people that believe exactly the same about reality

and interpreting experiences.

The Kahuna, or the Hawaiian priest, practiced traveling in all these realms of reality togain a greater more holistic understanding not only for himself, but for others so that he

might share what he experienced and learned. If we can also do this - take the role of

examining other realities away from the one or two that we traditionally live our entirelives in - we may become more rounded, operating from a higher plane or a more

grounded center than we would without experimenting with other realities.

Best of Life!
