The Science of Happiness

Ike Kala Makia Manawa Aloha Mana Pono

I am as the Moon
Our Light is everchanging
Healing, gathering



INVOKATION

I invoke the Atlantis of my soul
Sunk ages ago
In the deep unconscious
Waiting to be found

The hidden powers lost by mankind
Resting on ledges
And in rocky chasms
On our ocean's floor

Benign giants of that deep hidden place
Huge beings swimming
Strangely in the darkness
Eager to be used

Great denizens of the superconscious
Unsensed, slow moving
Faster than the speed of light
BECOME CONSCIOUS NOW

Enter into my life in ecstacy
Return the powers
Lost to my consciousness
In ancient ages

Teach me to use these powers from my depths
In the light of day
Let the dolphin's voice sing
Let the great whales roar

Open the soft eye of the octopus
Flood me with power
All you wonderful beasts
Let the strange come through

These powers now come with healing balance
Giving foundation
To my strong balanced life
Rooted deep in THAT

Resplendantly robed in powers most strange
From my shadowed throne
I bless the world with light
With subtle-strong bliss



ALOHA

The World is what you think it is! Ah, yes!
There are no limits!
And energy follows...
Attention! Got it?

Energy follows attention! Right on!
Aloha is love!
It's being happy with!
Let's be happy with!

NOW is the moment of power! Got that?
The next question is:
Where does Power come from
From within! Of course!

All power comes from within! We know that!
And effectiveness?
It is the measure of...
What? Of Truth! What else!

Effectiveness is the measure of Truth!
Let's give attention to
ALOHA (smile!) ALOHA
And measure THAT truth!

(...can't help yourself, can you...you smiled...gotcha!)


ALOHA



Hip-hip Hoorah, for the Self Esteem Team!
Who love what we are!
Who are happy with Self
Who enjoy our Selves

We enjoy each other with Self Esteem
We give and take Love
On the Self Esteem Team
Our Mana expands

(Mana is more than energy, you know
It is bigger than life
And nourishes our Souls
With Great Self Esteem

Mana is POWER, determination
And is confidence
To feel good about you
So others can too!)

Plug into those trees and get Self Esteem
And gather it in
From sturdy tree beauties
Who have Self Esteem

For Nature knows how to enjoy herself
With great Self Esteem
With pure wholesome beauty
With Love and with Joy

The Self Esteem Team welcomes you now
With Great Self Esteem
We like being with you
Because you are you!



Feel good about yourself...others will, too
They feel about you
As you feel about you
Feel good about your self!

"There is a sweet wind blowing through me now
Good things are coming
Happy expectations
Dance deep in my heart."

Whisper these words to your deep inner Self
Whisper them, hum them
Soft-sing them to your soul
Know them in your heart

There is a soft wind blowing through me now
Good things are coming
Happy expectations
Dance deep in my heart



I get this Mana Feeling when I wake
Full of jolly smiles
It makes me feel so good
And so strong and wise

That when I open up my eyes I see
Beauty, strong Beauty
Wise Beauty smiling too
Starting out my day

With wonder and I say, Good things are coming
(...and I know they are!!!)
Happy expectations
Sparkle in my eyes

I get this Mana Feeling when I wake
When my day begins
Mana surges through me
And I always share

The gentle fruits of Beauty that I find
With all whom I meet
Sharing is receiving
Sharing my delight!



This is a place for beauty, not despair
What you think comes true
And what you say comes true
Please think beauty thoughts

Then happy thoughts of light, love and beauty
Fill your heart with joy
And fill you full of bliss
And wisdom grows in you

With a soft, rich, gentle, pure, strong, sweet love
That will trickle through
This Great World we live in
With healing powers

So let us all together sing strong songs
Of old-new beauty
Old and yet very new
That will never die



Yes, I am just an old Kukui Nut
Fallen from a tree
I have a lot to say
Someone harvest me

And put me together with those other nuts
Hung around your neck
I will tell you secrets
No one ever knew

Oh, I am just an old Kukui Nut
From a sacred tree
I hide a holy light
That will make you see

It hides beneath my surface silently
And smiles deep inside
Waiting for you to see
That old Nut that's me!



There is a little space between the place
You wake and you sleep
That could be called a Void
Or an Emptiness

It holds a secret I have not yet found
Let's ask for it now
Let's ask together now
The answer will come

I think it is a little door, myself,
To a special place
That is called Sunyata
The Great Emptiness

But that is only what I think, you know,
That might not be it
It might be something else
So let's ask and see



Love decreases as judgement increases
Praise is a prayer
Of unqualified love
Thinking is praying

So build your thoughts out of love not judgement
Let your love expand
Let your power increase
Fill the world with joy

Criticism is a curse that shrinks us
I criticise you
I shrink...and you shrink too
Thinking is praying

So build your thoughts out of love not judgement
For we are all one
And think your thoughts loving
Fill the world with joy



The here and now is where power lives
Leaves bobbing in wind
Birds whistling and cheeping
From branch to branch

The cool after feel of the cold shower
And my hair still damp
The computer humming
White letters on black

And the click of the disk storing all this
Breakfast hunger pangs
And dry mouth full of thirst
The hum of a car

The here and now is where power lives
Dripping with that joy
That comes with my knowing
Power is here, now



It's variety that keeps the brain juicey
A color, a sound
And a body feeling
Let the juices flow

And bring you down to Earth, sweet Earth, old Earth
To suck Earth power
Into your hungry bones
To let you have life

A scent in the air, the rustle of wind
Cool breeze on your face
The taste of an orange
Look of a flower

Your senses bring you down to Earth alive
To bring your power
Like a cool mountain stream
To your bone and blood

Enjoy the sensual variety
Timeless peaceful space
Will open in your heart
In the here and now



There is a timeless space when sleep awakes
After you have slept
There is a timeless space
Before you awake

It is not sleeping, it is not waking
But it is a space
It is a timeless space
Like Eternity



Hello, there! Aloha meets Alohim
Well! Greetings, Old Friend!
Another Kabbalah
Opens up her Eye

I sense hidden rigour in Aloha
Love that may be tough
Limits, though there are none
And subtle constraint

From another dimension of Power
Alohim IS tough
An instrument of war
Is Aloha Peace



Now, let us look at Mana. Who is she?
Chi? No, not likely
One accesses Chi
Get's in to Chi's flow

Mana seems to be closer to the Earth
She is gathered in
Mana is a substance
Chi is energy



Aloha...Mana: the pico-pico
Might try, Tao...Te
Or, might try I AM...Light
From Crown to Belly

I have breathed the Pico-Pico these ways
Each one breathes quite well
And quite differently
Others powers rise

I have tried, I am Mana, and listened
Thick, rich power juice
That refines into mind
That will become wise

Here is a Jewel of another order
That comes from Tibet
Om mani padme hum
Mana jewel grown wise



Cosmic consciousness is all that there is
At least on this plane
The tiger won't eat you
You will share wisdom

And you will be tiger-wise forever
Standing in a door
Ready for something new
On another plane

The here and now is every where and time
There are little doors
Like cosmic consciousness
To other spaces



To overvalue where we live and die:
Error number one!
Survival illusion:
Error number two!

To overvalue anything at all:
Error number three!
Listen to the Buddha
IT is all equal

I wonder who the Huna Buddha is



All things are different, no thing the same
Mana, prana, chi
Not the same! Not the same!
May be similar

No-thing subsists and is always the same
Mana different
Not the same! Not the same!
Error number four

May be like ice cream has many flavours
Better candy, gum
Alike but different
Not just in flavour

ALL things are different, no thing the same
What ever it is
Not the same! Not the same!
Error number four



Mana is the Magic of the One Thing
Store it and it grows
And gets rich with wisdom
Like a great jewel

It grows inside you in a hidden place
It grows in beauty
With its own sure wisdom
Elixer of Life

Mana ages in you like fine old wine
Always gets stronger
As it flows deep in you
Teaching you all things

Ask for more Mana, learn how to get it
Learn to increase it
Learn to let it alone
And grow old and wise



The time draws near when I will leave here
For the far Islands
Of ancient Huna craft
Gentle Paradise

Rich with ancient Powers and ancient Bliss
Which I will bring home
To the hard, rough North
To the heat and cold

Though never the same, yet always the same
I will return, Me,
Enriched and bewildered
And wonderfully wise



The old fool, with hope in his heart
Departs once again
Pursue the butterfly
And capture the light

His eternal goals not battered to death
By the world's logic
He limps and sighs and weeps
Yet stumbles onward

Bearing as scars moments of pure beauty
In the dark battle
To capture the great light
They say is not there

I have seen it, he says, that flash of light
Yes, I have seen it,
Flash by me in a dream
I know it exists

He sighs and gathers himself together
The light has been seen
On an ancient island
Once again. He goes.
