Huna is Love

Huna is the knowledge of how to love. Hawaii takes love seriously, it is considered action as well as feeling. Its society is based on the infrastructure of love, as described by the Professor Emeritus of Anthropology at the University of Chicago, Marshall Sahlins (1985).

Aloha (or Love), is the most famous word in Hawaiian. It can be understood in terms of its different elements. Like other sacred languages, it contains a secret code.

A		Aha		[Glowing cord]		Creation happens with essence and intent
L		Loa		[Length]		Moving outwards, touching, lengthening
O		O		[Root Foundation]		Building on a strong foundation
H		Ha		[Breath, Life]		Imbued with the sacred breath of life
A		Ao		[Light, World]		You recreate the light in your new world

Notice that the letters of each of the 'root words' are contained in the word 'Aloha'. Word games were very popular in Polynesia, and in traditional times were played with a gourd filled with small objects. The gourd was the outer structure of the word, and the objects represented the Kaona or 'hidden meanings'. The gourd is symbolically the gourd of knowledge, believed to be a form of the god of consciousness. Lono. Lono also represents the conscious mind, and the Kaona ways of reaching the other minds, the Higher Self and the subconscious, through your interpretation of the word. Huna is ultimately the knowledge of how to grow towards love through increasing consciousness.
