There is a natural connection that all human beings share. Hawaiian Kahuna magic, known as ho’omanamana or concentrated thought power, may play a part in the presence of Barack Obama on the world’s stage. That natural connection is being touched and activated.
A Kahuna High Priest or puhiokaoka, is able to invoke the blessings of the gods for the people.
Even watered-down western versions of Huna note that "You are the agent of change and empowerment in your life".
Barack Obama embodies the principle of ha’a ha’a, to be humble. He has called forth the people, his summons a hoala: to awaken, bestir into action. Ho’ala: to call upon the gods, invite the blessings of Divinity.
Julius Rodman in his book The Kahuna Sorcerers mentions fishermen ‘calling up his guardian shark’ before paddling out to sea for the day’s catch. Many Hawaiians still have the shark as aumakua: family or personal god. It may be time for Obama to call up the shark.
Barack Obama, while not a native Hawaiian, was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii. He graduated from Punahou School, after 9 years, from 5th thru 12th grade. These formative years would give him a respect for Hawaiian traditions; Punahou’s curriculum covers Hawaiian traditional ethical teachings today, much as Kwanzaa gives an opportunity to teach African traditional ethical teachings.
It was not always so. Punahou has evolved to include more grounding in Hawaiian tradition, especially since the advent of Punahou’s President Jim Scott, a Punahou alumni a few years older than Obama, who is part native Hawaiian. There has been a natural rivalry with Kamehameha School, for those of Hawaiian descent, and Punahou, which was built by Congregationalist missionaries in 1841. These differences pale though, as we are deeply affected by the bad news swirling around us. The Kahuna High Priests - pea, to measure out justice in keeping with what is deserved.
The god who warns humanity with his love: Ke Akua pa mahana.
Something must be done. One who is at the root of our spreading misery has risen up from the same pond as Obama: Wendy Lee Gramm, Punahou graduate more than a decade before Barack Obama. Yes, former Director of Regulatory Studies at George Mason University, with her PhD from Northwestern, is at the heart of the undoing of the American economy, Punahou 1962. Author of the ‘Enron Loophole’, wife of Sen. Phil Gramm, Wendy Lee’s pernicious influence must be balanced out.
Yes, it may be time for Obama to call up the shark.
