Very interesting, Mark - thank you! I know that Two Bears is definitely not a kahuna 'ana'ana . He knows better than to use Hawaiian energetic techniques (Huna) to interfere with others or cause harm - although obviously not all kahunas did!

Absolutely! What you send out comes back to you. I already walked out of the pits of hell on earth, and I am NOT going to manipulate others.

You can call this (the law of karma, the law of reciprocity, what goes around comes around, the young carpenter said "ye reap what ye sow", the Wiccan rede has "what ye send out comes back to thee; so ever mind the rule of three), etc.

Hawaiian sorcerers are still among the most powerful and feared the world over.

Quite right. when the kahuna 'ana'ana wanted someone dead; the victim did not have to know anything about the curse. They simply died in days.

but he's a healer alright, a wise and powerful one too. So that makes him a kahuna lapau'au. He's been oh-so-patiently training me,

Thank you for the kind words.

No. I am a kahuna nui (a kahuna in multiple skills (healing, modifying the weather, prayer, etc).

No I am not a kahuna lapa'au. I do not use herbs in healing. I only use lifeforce energy for healing.

The extraordinary mental feats of these kahuna are still legendary.
And their "secrets" - the powerful spiritual/psychic technology called HUNA - were closely guarded, passed on only to the next

Daylia: ahem. The Hawai'ians did not call this spiritual technology huna. They did not have an official name for this technology; but ho'omana (to make mana) comes close.

This spiritual technology was not named huna until Nax Freedom Long wrote his series of books. If I had done the research MFL did; I would have named this technology pule me mana (pray with lifeforce energy).

The kahuna strengthened their mind by memorizing the lineage of kings, prayers, extremely long chants; the kumulipo (chant about the creation of the earth, and everything on earth) is 1,210 lines long, and the kahuna had to be able to quote the entire chant from beginning to end without error.

the Kahuna Nui was a great man who had mastered all the various branches and passed all the tests. It is reported in their verbal history that there were times when no one was considered worthy of that title. The position would remain unfilled until someone sufficiently adept did come along".

Hmm ... is this what you aspire to, Two Bears?

Absolutely! To be the best human being that I can be, and make the most of my potential.
