1. Ike - the world is what you "think" it is
Life is a "dream" which we share with everything and everyone. From our innermost thoughts comes our reality. We are responsible for the way we visualise the world because it springs from our every thought. If we want to change the world, we must first change ourselves. We must change violent thoughts to peaceful ones, guilt and hate to love, turn anger to empathy, ignorance into understanding, and fear to trust. Only when we have changed ourselves to be the way we prefer, in our intentions, our thoughts and our actions, can we change ANY thing else. We create our own reality, and the world, every second, first with the power of our thoughts.
2. Kala - there are no limits
We are all connected. The plants, animals, earth, and human. We are all ONE. Separation is an illusion, but because we create our own reality, we can also create separation. If we separate mind and body, we create sickness, and if we separate ourselves from the world connectedness, we also create sickness. And if we are sick, the world is sick. We must replace all actions of separation with connection. A freeing-up. Hang loose! When you create tension, you create separation. It is healthier to let things "flow". And sometimes, this means, Go with YOUR Flow. (and it is also easier to change things when you relax with them ;)). "Go with the flow!", which brings us to;
3. Makia - energy flows where attention goes
Keep up a positive energy flow to an idea, object or person, and you will get a return flow of positive energy. Consistent thoughts of abundance brings abundance into your life. Thoughts of joy and happiness will come back to you in joy and happiness. But understand that the reverse is equally powerful. The same energy works for consistent thoughts of revenge, violence, distrust and dislike. We have the choice of focusing our thoughts and our energy's attention and thereby their flow back.
4. Aloha - means love, which in turn means, "happy to be with"
To the degree that you are happy with everything and everyone around you, you are "In Love." And every degree that you don't like the things around you, you diminish love. Love is not pain, guilt or hate; love is the joy and pleasure in our relationships with others and the world. It is the true meaning of "Ecstasy."
5. Manaua - NOW is the moment of power
There is no power in the past or future, but NOW. The past has no power over you if you don't let it in. Unburden yourself and live in the present. You create your own reality and beauty, and increase it by appreciating the things around you. The more you take pleasure in the moment, the more you increase that beauty, reality and power. The future doesn't wait for you; you create it in every present moment with your seeds of thought. To use an analogy or metaphor, this is the concept of, "Pull out any weeds and replant with new seeds!" We have the "energy-power" to utilise every moment - to the best of our potential.
6. Mana - our divine creative power and energy
There is one source of all power which flows through everything. This mana is the inner power which gives everything its "essence", the power of the wind to blow, the power of the stone to be strong and stable, the power of the human to be creative. All power comes from within. There is really no power outside you that has power over you unless you give them that power. Mana allows a thing to be "itself" in its utmost potential. We have the power to claim it and match our highest potential.
7. Pono - effectiveness is the measure of "truth"
There is always another way to do anything. There is no ONE way to do anything, no ONE truth, no ONE technique, or ONE way to be happy. (If there was only one way to do a thing, there would only be ONE person on the planet!) That's how creative each and every one of us are! There are infinite ways to fulfil yourself and be happy in creating the reality you prefer. Plans are not sacred (although your purpose might be). But use your integrity - the "right" means to the end; to create peace you must use peaceful means. Violence begets violence. To understand the All-That-Is, we must become the All-That-Is.
