Aloha Ke 'Ākua! Māhālo nūi lōa for visiting Nā Hālau ʻĀha Hūi Lanakila! We established our Sanctuary for the exploration and awakening of consciousness, the unfolding of our collective creative and healing potential and realisation of our essential Unity. Our teachings arise out of direct experience of awakened awareness and emanates the untamable fragrance of freedom whilst radically embracing the mystery and mess of human existence. Our invitation is for you to open to the fullness of life, to say YES to the totality of your experience and to meet reality with radical compassion. Our doors are an open invitation to all who seek authentic freedom and are willing to meet heart to heart in honest and open inquiry. We were taught that the goal of life is to move through life walking up the mountain of experiences with your Aloha, your Bowl of Light. Life is filled with lessons to learn and teaching moments along the way. When you become angry or jealous, you drop those stones into your bowl of light and those rocks cause leaks in your Mana-sacred power. When your bowl becomes filled with stones, you become a stone that cannot grow. No Aloha! The solution is that at any moment, you can turn your bowl upside down emptying these stones out of your bowl to naturally refill it with YOUR golden light -- your natural Aware and Awakened state of Aloha, your natural state of Divinity. This is the power of Pure Aloha: an Awakened Heart Awakens the Mind. Awakening hinges on your genuine desire for the discovery of your true nature. If it is to flower in you, you must truly want liberation from everything that is false in you, you must want to give yourself totally to the inquiry into what is true beyond all inherited concepts, ideas and beliefs. The purpose of our teachings is to ignite this wanting in you. When the flame of this desire becomes an untamable fire, it flips a switch inside of you and the direction of your destiny is irrevocably altered. It’s like turning on the light only to discover that you are this light. This in itself is extra-ordinary: even though you may have heard the words a thousand times, nothing can prepare you for the naked reality that is revealed. And yet the living experience of this revelation is very ordinary: you have simply re-discovered the innocent wholeness of your essential nature. It’s the you that never was and never will be separate from anything at all. This discovery is the end of suffering and the beginning of freedom. But awakening is just the beginning. The adventure begins, not in the rarified atmosphere of transcendence, but in the midst of the chaos of life. And living the truth of awakening has perhaps never been more of an imperative than in today’s rapidly changing world. The invitation is for you to awaken to the pristine perfection of your inner light and then to fully embody and express this light amidst the mystery and mess of human existence. Come join us!

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

Full Moon blessings to all! Today is the Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse in Leo, and it looks as though the Universe has decided to step in with a bit of Divine Intervention. This is a positive eclipse, and the Ace of Wands is prepared to light the fire of change for you. The Winter Olympics begin in nine days, and whenever I see the Olympic torch, it always reminds me of the Ace of Wands. In this clever depiction, the Ace is a paintbrush, and you my friends, are the artist, creating the masterpiece which is your life. You have the ability to paint the canvas any way you desire.

We still have the entire month of February ahead of us with zero retrograde planets. The potential for change over the next few months in your life is massive, and the Universe is passing the torch to you. What

Karaṇīyamatthakusalena

Sakko ujū ca suhujū ca,

santindriyo ca nipako ca,
appagabbho kulesvananugiddho.
Na ca khuddamācare kiñci

This is to be done by one skilled in aims
who wants to break through to the state of peace:
Be capable, upright, & straightforward,
easy to instruct, gentle, & not conceited,
content & easy to support,
with few duties, living lightly,
with peaceful faculties, masterful,
modest, & no greed for supporters.
Do not do the slightest thing
that the wise would later censure.

Card of the Day – 7 of Wands – Tuesday, January 30, 2018

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

Change is in the air, and you are not willing to give up an inch with any progress you have made. This card is a defensive type of position, wherein one does not back down, no matter what anyone else may think of your changes. I think I would have preferred to see this card with Tom Petty, rather than Alice Cooper. I love them both, but ‘I Won’t Back Down’ is the anthem of the 7 of Wands.

Tomorrow is the Full Moon. It will be a Supermoon, a Blue Moon, and a Total Lunar Eclipse. How can there not be change? Today’s 7 of Wands really feels as though you are ready, ready to defend your beliefs and your changes, ready for any challenges which eclipse season may bring. You have grown stronger in recent months, so while you may feel as though you are bracing yourself against…

Health and Homeopathy:  FDA Declares All Homeopathic Drugs Illegal Threatening Remedies for Millions of Americans

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

In one fell swoop, the FDA has declared that virtually every single homeopathic drug on the market is being sold illegally. The FDA says that it does not intend to take action against such products at this time, but the writing is on the wall. If it wants to, the FDA could go after any homeopathic drug currently on the market. FDA’s process started two years ago, when the agency held a public hearing to evaluate its enforcement policies for homeopathic products. We suspected the agency was planning to tighten its grip on homeopathy, which, after all, competes with the pharmaceutical drugs that fund the FDA. We cannot let the FDA eliminate consumer access to homeopathy.  […]

When Love Beckons … by Khalil Gibran

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams
as the north wind lays waste the garden.

For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,
So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.

Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself.
He threshes you to make you naked.
He sifts you to free you from your husks.
He grinds you to whiteness.
He kneads you until you are pliant;
And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God’s sacred feast.

All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life’s heart.

But if in your fear you would seek only love’s peace and love’s pleasure,
Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love’s threshing-floor,
Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.
Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;
For love is sufficient unto love.

When you love you should not say, “God is in my heart,” but rather, “I am in the heart of God.”
And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.

Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love’s ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.

~ Kahlil Gibran

Who Is Sophia?

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

Sophia ends up being the giver of wisdom in so many forms: She isShakti in Sanskrit, the powerful Hindu personification of feminine wisdom, and the personal and collective linking soul as atman, realized in the transcendent state of samadhi(Gnosis). She is the compassionate boddhisatva (Avalokiteshvara) in Buddhism, returning to light the path to nirvana (Gnosis); personified by the deity Guanyin. She is both Mother Mary, in her ascendant form, and Mary Magdalene, as the earthly companion of the Christ potential in Christian Gnosticism. In Jungian psychology, she is the unifying power (“individuation”) of both the feminine and masculine archetypes, anima and animus, and of the lower self of the psyche with the higher spiritual self (Gnosis).

 

“She is the Sophia of wisdom, the Maria of compassion, the Persephone of destruction, compelling Necessity and Fate, and the Muse.”

~ James Hillman

 

“Son of Man consented with Sophia, his consort, and revealed a great androgynous light. His male name is designated ‘Savior, Begetter of All Things’. His female name is designated ‘All-Begettress Sophia’. Some call her ‘Pistis.”

~ The Nag Hammadi Library; The Sophia of Jesus Christ – Translated by: Douglas M. Parrott

Grand Water Trine let all the feelings out

The Moon is in Cancer on Monday which is the day dedicated to the Moon which governs the sign of Cancer. 

A beautiful emotionally flowing GRAND WATER TRINE is created over the course of the day culminating at night.

Moon inconjuncts SUN and VENUS  in AQUARIUS 

Our feelings and our ideas are out of whack. If you can achieve some AQUARIAN detachment it may help.

Things are getting intense as we lead up to that big ULL MOON LUNAR ECLIPSES being overhyped in true LEO fashion as A Super blue blood eclipse. The term Blue Moon has absolutely no astrology or astronomical meaning and in Australia, the eclipse occurs on Feb 1st so is not a Blue Moon at all.

Here we are, only two days away from the Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse in Leo. It is also a Supermoon and a Blue Moon, so expect this one to be rather profound. Your hopes and dreams are right in front of you now, and the options available to you may possibly be overwhelming. Be sure to take a realistic approach, because not everything may be as it seems. If your choices are involving another, be sure to seek the facts, so as not to have anyone pull the wool over your eyes. It helps to remember that most people wear masks and do not readily show their true selves.

You are on the precipice of new and great changes entering your life. The choosingwhich you need to do is very much a part of it. Today feels a bit more like a daydreaming and sorting out your options…

European Black Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) is a large plant that is commonly found across Europe, central and western Asia, and northern Africa, with subspecies all over North America. There are several different species of Elderberry.

Pāli Word a Day for January 28, 2018 — obhāsa — shine, splendour, light, lustre, effulgence

Māvamaññetha puññassa, “Na mantaṃ āgamissati.”
Udabindunipātena udakumbhopi pūrati.
Dhīro pūrati puññassa, thokaṃ thokampi ācinaṃ.

Think not lightly of good, saying, “It will not come to me.”
Drop by drop is the water pot filled.
Likewise, the wise one, gathering it little by little,
fills oneself with good.
