THE MISSION OF ALOHA
Aunty Aka ~ “It is our innate sense to love things unconditionally…It’s a symbiotic relationship and the acknowledgement of that symbiotic relationship that you have with everything in the universe around you and recognizing exactly your space within it.”
Aloha awakea a ma Hau’oli aloha Lapule oukou … Mahalo Ke Akua no keia nani la.
Good morning and Happy Aloha Sunday, everyone. Thank God for this beautiful day!
I am at peace with all that has happened, is happening, and will happen.
Aloha kakahiaka a ma Hauʻoli aloha Poʻaono. I lā āwaiwa nou oukou
Good morning and Happy Aloha Saturday … Have a fantastic day everyone!
E ho’omana’o na la a pau, I launa aloha pu, E lulu lima aloha no, Ka ho’aloha o’u.
“Remember every day to gather with Aloha, to shake hands with Aloha, my beloved friends.”
On this first day of the New Year, handwrite a letter to a loved one (perhaps to yourself) to be opened at a later date.
It occurs to me that we allow ourselves to imagine only such messages as we need to survive. When was the last time you received a hand-written letter? Write a letter to yourself, perhaps full of your hopes and dreams as well as memories of people who have since passed away.
Here’s an idea: ask a young person to write a 10-page letter like that and keep it, sealed, to be sent to that person in, say, ten years from today. What a time capsule experience that would be for the young writer!
I am Thine in Mine before I am ever anyone else’s. Walk away from anything or anyone who takes away your joy. Life is too short to put up with fools.
All that I need will come to me at the right time and place in this life.

Appampi ce saṃhita bhāsamāno,
dhammassa hoti anudhammacārī,
rāgañca, dosañca, pahāya mohaṃ,
sammappajāno suvimuttacitto,
anupādiyāno idha vā huraṃ vā,
sa bhāgavā sāmaññassa hoti.
Little though one recites the sacred texts,
but puts the Teaching into practice,
forsaking lust, hatred, and delusion,
with true wisdom and emancipated mind,
clinging to nothing of this or any other world —
one indeed partakes of the blessings of a holy life.

The Double Yod Key (next chart) indicates, again, that we are facing a number of important decisions. For many people individually, this will involve whether or not to maintain resolutions and whether or not to keep projects from last year or drop them. Collectively, we are still working through the issues that began last August / September and continued through December. Some of the ones that stand out the most involve conflicts between the populace and police authorities. With the movement of Saturn into Sagittarius, a major change is afoot regarding these issues.
(Why? Because the mutual reception between Saturn / Pluto…

“I le`a ka hula i ka ho`opa`a.” — ʻOlelo Noʻeau Hula
THE HULA IS PLEASING BECAUSE OF THE DRUMMER — Hula Proverb
Although the attention is given to the dancer, the drummer and chanter play an important role in the dance.
Slow down. This moment is full of wonder, why not take the time to cherish it?
Grace has the capacity to transcend even our darkest of spaces. It is a sudden miracle, basked in the light of loving-kindness. And, grace has the capacity to heal. These moments of grace teach us that there is always more to life than we can imagine. In those wondrous moments, we realize there is more to life than we can possibly imagine.
It is a whisper of feeling, almost intangible. Yet, it is powerful. Suddenly, you are in a different space. You feel almost weightless. The air is still, your breathing is slow, but what you are experiencing is clean and clear.
But, how do we open our hearts to grace?
I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief… For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free. — Wendell Berry

Below: Dui — Open, Free, unhindered
The Wisdom:
Inner truth is your beacon.
Like the wind it
Guides you, through
Inspiration, to tranquility
And abundance.
Your connection to Spirit is made solid
The wind is unseen as it stirs the waters of your heart and soul. Invisible forces are at work to bring you abundance, health, and success. This is a very favorable time. Your situation has in some cases seemed untenable. You have tried to influence others with words and common sense, and it hasn’t worked. You have perceived your situation incorrectly. Examine your truth, your inner wisdom. Hear the calling birds song … hear it with you open heart. Love is a sweet song
Though it appears that associates, old stale influences of family, church and state or your relationships may be blocking your progress, they will soon be moved toward your favor. This is assured. In the teaching offered by this hexagram, this can be achieved gently and without words. It will be done by means of the invisible forces of gentleness, compassion, kindness and joyfulness. Look for and embrace your passion be it for the clover in the field or for the love that is yours to embrace.
Your heart knows the truth.
Limit your words;
They have no effect.
Your actions and thoughts
Are benefits of all and for the greater good.
To correctly have influence over others, you must walk a mile in their moccasins. This will allow you to know their position and their thoughts. With this knowing you can access your intuition, which will counsel you on correct thoughts and actions. This is the way: The way of compassion
At this time move forward with no prejudice or hidden agenda. This will create openness, which is the wordless, gentle joy of which this hexagram speaks.
Thoughts have great influence.
Correct thoughts free of prejudice
Bring a bountiful outcome.
Negative thoughts will undo
The good you have accomplished.
Change your way of thinking.
No Blame, no guilt, no shame
Only change.
Exerting influence can be a tricky business. Thoughts and actions that attempt to manipulate or gain power over others leave nothing but hate and animosity in their tracks and will not achieve your goals. Look to your motives in exerting influence. When you are confident that you are coming from your highest good, for the good of all, you will find that your influence, though apparently invisible, is as powerful as the wind that stirs the waters.
You stand on the brink of success and release from bondage, and are now challenged as never before. It is not that you have done anything incorrectly; far from it: it is rather a law of the universe that we are challenged to rise to our greatest good.
The teaching in this hexagram says to go inward and begin the task of gentle self-correction. Where it may be easy to control the words you say, it is more difficult to shift your thoughts so that they are without prejudice, divisiveness, retaliation, or anger.
There are times when you must move stubborn or obstinate people, whether in your work or in your personal lives, toward the greater good. Such an approach must be well considered. Be gentle, with no judgment or preconceived notions. Try to understand where they are coming from and then adjust your thoughts, not your words, toward a more beneficial outcome for all involved. In this way influence is directed by compassion.
Having compassion for those who are slowing or blocking progress leads us to a deeper understanding of others and ultimately ourselves.
Outwardly, communicate directly and be honest and sincere. Inwardly, correct any negative or judgmental thoughts. This will release your untapped life force, or prana, which in turn will have a profound beneficial effect on your relationships, your health, and your business, these actions will deepen your spiritual journey—all toward the greater good.
It is well documented that we can heal many illnesses through right thought and meditation. You can apply this truth to your present situation. You are the healer. Look to the words that come to you; discard the negative ones and replace them with right action and compassionate thoughts, which will influence all aspects of the self to move toward a higher, more compassionate understanding. In this way you will change the situation; it will move toward the highest, most beneficial good for all.
You will not gain the trust of others until you trust yourself. This hexagram gives us a teaching on how to gain the kind of trust that comes from knowing your inner truth. Consciously look to your highest good. To be loved, you must love yourself. To be heard, you must hear yourself. To correct a situation, you must correct yourself and your inner thoughts.
Open your heart and let yourself be loved
The outcome of this process is rich, but the process itself is even richer. At this time, this process is not about choice: it is about necessity. Love, compassion, and knowing your inner truth are necessary to bring about the grand success that awaits you.
This week be the gentle wind and feel the strength of Gaia, the earth, as she beckons you home. Do not talk of love, be love. Do less, be more.
You are the sentient being at the center of your world, you embrace the frequency called God, yet have seen it as outside yourself. Know well it is in a part of you. Make the choice to know yourself with out judgment or fear. Choose to step silently into that frequency. As you do all is possible, all is in the correct place and you are in the right place at the right time. Not too early nor late. By understanding and excepting who you truly are this frequency of Universal love and light will be your wing man.
All men are your brothers; all women are your sisters.
Be love and teach peace … you are magnificent.
Without embarrassment or judgment say now out loud, “I am Magnificent.”
This writer sends you love.

“This morning couldn’t get any worse, and I’m hangry!” my friend texted on the plane. She sat on an already-delayed flight to see her in-laws, the plane had been taxiing for takeoff over an hour, a baby was screaming in the row behind her, and a traffic delay to the airport meant she had missed breakfast.
“Somebody needs to whip out her gratitude journal ASAP,” I texted back playfully, but I understood her frustration.
Thankfully, most mornings aren’t quite so hectic, but everyone knows that sinking “there goes my day” mentality.
You can’t control the weather, traffic, or your irate boss, but you can develop a morning ritual that keeps you resilient to whatever life throws your way.
One thing I’ve discovered about fitness and nutrition professionals: We almost all keep a specific morning routine that focuses, motivates, and connects us with our higher purpose. I took an informal poll among my healthcare friends. These five things make our mornings — really, our entire days — more sane and productive.
We note, first, that the astrological new year (as well as a number of other new years) occurs at the time of the Vernal Equinox, often called “the first day of Spring.” That said, here are charts for the turn of the calendar from 2014 to 2015. We start with Plano (local to the astrologer) and proceed through London, New York City, and Los Angeles.
We note that ascendant and lunar position only vary slightly, and positions of other heavenly bodies vary little at all. Nevertheless, here are the charts:

who only counts the cows of others —
one does not partake of the blessings of the holy life.

Gout is a type of arthritis that can affect different body parts like the ears, small joints on the hands, wrists, ankles or knees. Symptoms frequently include acute pain, swelling, intense tenderness and inflammation in the joints.
The exact cause is unknown, but a high amount of uric acid in the body is one of the reasons. Some other possible causes are genetics, excessive consumption of alcohol, lack of physical exercise, excessive protein intake and too much stress.
Gout is linked to other types of health problems, such as hypertension, diabetes, and uric acid kidney stones, so it is important to get proper medical treatment. In addition, some easy-to-follow home treatments can promote healing and provide symptom relief.
Aloha kakahiaka a ma Hau’oli la Po’alua oukou. I la nani no’u.
Good morning and Happy Tuesday, everyone. Have a beautiful day!
“To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
It has been said that
Life only gives us what we can handle.
In reality, this is not the case.
Life often kills us,
And that’s the truth …
But, that’s how Phoenixes are born.
I can feel how beautiful I am.
Blind faith is intellect’s most deadliest foe. Intellect that would surrender to faith has forfeited its very nature.
True faith is intellect’s most vital partner. To travel beyond its boundaries, intellect must find a vision that transcends itself.
That is the meaning of true faith: A perspective that surpasses the field of intellect’s vision, a sense that there is something not only unknown, but unknowable; something before which all our knowledge is an infinitesimal point of nothingness.
And so, the mind that fears faith will choose a truth with which it is most comfortable, while the mind that has found a partner in faith will choose truth that is absolute.
Blind faith cannot grasp Truth, because it does not grasp anything at all.
Intellect cannot grasp Truth, because intellect is finite and Truth is infinite.
Only the eye of the soul, its inner wisdom, can grasp Truth and know it as she knows her own self.
For she is Truth.
Aloha kakahiaka a ma Hau’oli la Po’akahi oukou. I la nani nou.
Good morning and Happy Monday, everyone. Have a beautiful day!
We are all so blessed to share this precious gift called LIFE! Ola I ka makana ma ke Akua, life is a gift from God! As we head into 2015, always remember the gift we have been given; that we are blessed in so many ways and that the greatest gift of all is Aloha (Love).
Wishing all of the Ohana a very peaceful and blessed day! E pili mau na po’maika’i ia oe – May blessings ever be with you!
Numerology is a method of divination that uses numbers as symbols of the different vibrational patterns which make up our human experience. The ancient Chaldeans understood that all things are composed of energy at varying states of vibration, and modern science is just catching up with this concept. Through Numerology, you’ve got a system that allows you to understand the qualities of the universal and personal vibrational patterns that make up your life. You can also calculate the changes in your relationships throughout the years.
Some teachers of the Yogic wisdom tradition say that we have 6 physical senses and 108 astral senses. In everyday life, we filter most of what we receive so that we can focus on matters of immediate importance. A Person who has acquired some psychic ability or skill at divination learns to filter less information than most, and can read the information coming to others through the use of symbolic tools like Numerology.
While it doesn’t take much of a leap to imagine the mystical diagrams used in Astrology or the mythic images of Tarot as symbols containing many meanings, it’s a lot harder for most people to imagine those same attributes being “held” by common numbers or letters of the alphabet. We have a hard time seeing numbers as anything other than ciphers for quantities and measurement, because that’s how we use them every day.
Numerology’s 2 ‘Schools’
There are two major schools of Numerology practiced today, the Modern system and the Chaldean system. Modern Numerology claims a lineage going back to Pythagoras, but the story of his invention of a “new number system” was made by Philolaus who was born 25 years after Pythagoras’ death, and after the original mystery school burned down.
The Chaldean system, on the other hand, can verify its antiquity through cuneiform tablets dating back thousands of years before the birth of Pythagoras. The chief difference is that the Chaldean method is based on the vibrations that numbers represented, while the “Pythagorean” system considered the alphabets in a strict, linear sequence.
Another difference between the Chaldean and Modern methods is that the Chaldean system places more emphasis on the name, while the Modern system is more concerned with permutations of the birth date.
“The Science of Numbers”
The term Numerology was coined by Dr. Julia Seton, and first seen in a book published around 1937. Before then, this type of divination was referred to as the Science of Numbers, Arithmancy, or sometimes erroneously, Kabbalah.
There are other schools of Numerology which have their origin in ancient Taoist cosmologies that follow the theory of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. It is believed that these methods, (developed into what’s known as 9 Ki or Kyusei in Japan), along with the Yijing (I-Ching) are older than the origin of numbers.
Eastern Traditions
It’s also interesting to note that the more modern and very popular system of Chinese Astrology, known as the Four Pillars, is really a numerological method based on the calendar, rather than the movements of the stars.
In India, many methods of astrological divination are based on numerological techniques such as harmonics and magic squares. Some of them use only approximate positions of the planets, a preset sequence of positions in the Zodiac signs, or sequences and cycles of time that have no relationship to planetary position at all. These are actually numerological methods, based on the symbolic value of number, rather than observations of the sky.
The 3 Facets of Numerology
We could say that Numerology has three different facets. None of these facets can operate on their own, because they are the three legs of the tripod upon which Numerology stands.
The first would be Numerology itself; the understanding of the numbers as symbols for vibrational patterns. There are advanced aspects to the study, of interest only to metaphysical researchers and divination professionals concerned with the nature of symbol, myth and consciousness.
The second facet has been recently and brilliantly rediscovered by the famous author J.K. Rowling – Arithmancy. Arithmancy is the set of techniques used for manipulating the numbers and extracting the meaning from their various relationships. Arithmancy gives us the ability to find the definitions we need and the information we seek.
The third facet of Numerology is usually called Kabbalah. This term is borrowed from the system of mystic cosmology developed by ancient Babylonian and Hebrew sages. It’s most commonly used to describe the assignment of letters of an alphabet, or phonemes of a language, to the numbers. These methods help a practitioner to understand the numeric values of words, and to define the way that names are converted to complex vibrational patterns.
Using Numerology to Navigate your Life
Numerology is a profound and reliable way to examine your inner nature, and look at the various psychological, physical and spiritual processes that make up your life experience. It can give you deep insight into what makes you “tick”, and provides an excellent way for navigating the currents of daily life.
Whether your goals are romantic, material or spiritual, it can help you reach them with less difficulty and fewer delays. Numerology can help you learn how to emphasize your strengths and overcome your weaknesses – almost anything you need to know can be found within the vibrational patterns and their cycles defined “by the numbers.”
Aloha kakahiaka oukou a ma Hau’oli la Lapule. I lā āwaiwa nou
Good morning and Happy Sunday, everyone. Have a fantastic day!
Pāṇaṃ na hane na ca ghātayeyya,
na cānujaññā hanataṃ paresaṃ,
sabbesu bhūtesu nidhāya daṇḍaṃ.
Ye thāvarā ye ca tasā santi loke.
One should not kill a living being,
nor cause it to be killed,
nor should one incite another to kill.
Do not injure any being, either strong or weak, in the world.
