Never take some one for granted, Hold every person Close to your Heart
because you might wake up one day and realize that you have lost a diamond
while you were too busy collecting stones. Remember this always in life.
You are a Spirit being here to live the human experience, not a human being here
to live the occasional spiritual experience.
Spirit greatness is who you really are. This is your true identity. We are Spirit
(‘uhane), first and foremost, and we have three aspects of human existence -
mana’o (intellect), pu’uwai (emotions) and na’au (gut instincts).
Pono is automatically achieved when we identify with ‘uhane, then align the
human aspects with it. The easiest way to do this is to remember this simple
formula:
Never, ever attach a temporary human
condition to your spirit greatness.
For example, it’s never, “I am confused, I am angry.” It’s “I am spirit greatness.”
Then identify which of the three aspects are running amok, andattribute those
temporary conditions accordingly - thoughts to mana’o, emotions to pu’uwai.
As in:
“Mana’o is confused right now,” or “Pu’uwai is feeling angry right now.”
This creates a little neutral zone between you and whatever human conditions
you are temporarily feeling, and allows you to identify at all times with who you
really are.
That neutral zone is your kapu space, your sacred place, wherein you recognize
yourself only as you truly are - spirit greatness.
When you find yourself out of the canoe, listen to what you’re saying. If it’s a lot
of, “I am this and that and the other,” ask yourself, “Does this, that and the other
represent spirit greatness?” If it doesn’t, don’t attach the word “I” to it.
Identify whether “this, that and the other” is an emotion or a thought, then
attribute it to the appropriate aspect. “Mana’o is thinking this,” or “Pu’uwai is
feeling that,” right now.”
Identify only with spirit greatness. ‘Uhane nui au - anything else is a temporary
human condition. All the hana - the work - starts from here, after you have
consciously connected back into your own spiritual place of being.
