The Huna Cheatsheet – an Overview of the Principles of Huna

by Travis Wright - Curator on December 16, 2008

The first trick on Huna, is to see the Blue Feather.

Huna & the Blue Feather.

Huna is an ancient philosophy that originated in the polynesian islands including Hawaii.  It is a “secret knowledge”.  I have had the very unique opportunity to participate in Huna learning under the tutelage of Pohaku at HunaTrainer.com who is a 20+ year understudy of Serge Kahili King.  His podcast is available on iTunes, and well worth going through the complete podcast series.

The key to Huna is the concept of the Three Selves – the low self, middle self and higher self; or unconscious, conscious and super-conscious, which he called the unihipili, the uhane and the aumakua. Other Huna teachers also refer to the Three Selves but give them the alternate names of KuLono and Aumakua, or simply refer to them as high, middle and low without Hawaiian terms.

Serge King has articulated seven principles of Huna, the color associated to that principle, the day of the week that it is most prevalent, what the principle means and the animal associated with the Huna Principle.

The 3 Selves

Attributes of the Ku:

 ▪    It’s primary function is memory.

   It controls the entire operation of the physical body, though some of this control is shared by the conscious mind (lono).

   It is the source of all emotions and feelings.

   It is the source of all mental and physical habits and behavior.

   It is the means by which the conscious mind perceives experience and acts upon it.

   It is the receiver and transmitter of all psychic phenomena.

   It’s prime directive is to grow.

   It reasons logically (Programmers and techies, TAKE NOTE!)

   It obeys orders

Attributes of the Lono or conscious mind:

   The ability to direct awareness and attention

   Will power

   Making a conscious decision or choice

Attributes of the Aumakua or Superconscious self:

   The ancestral spirit – the collection of spirits that “watch over you”

   The manifesting spirit – the part of you that creates reality

    The divine spirit – that part of you which is directly connected to God, or the Infinite Consciousness, or the Universe (pick the one that resonates best with you)

First Level of Reality: Physical

 1st level of reality is just your “plain” physical world, subject to all physical laws.

Second Level or Reality: Psychic

The 2nd level of reality is subjective. Everything is alive, aware, and responsive. In this level you can talk (and listen) to animals, places, and things.

Third Level of Reality: Symbolic

 In the 3rd level of reality, everything is a dream. Everything is a symbol which in some way reflects yourself. Third level activities include:

   Interpreting a sleeping dream

   Interpreting a physical event as if it was a dream

   Interpreting events or things as “signs”

Fourth Level of Reality: Holistic

 Fourth level of reality sees everything as perfect in every way, regardless of it’s physical or short-term appearance. 4th level characteristics are:

   “Everything is working out perfectly”

   “Thing always work themselves out better than we could ever plan them”

    “Everything happens for a perfect reason and is all part of a perfect universe.
