Pre Paao Hawaii Spirituality, Beliefs and Practice with Kauila Clark

Host Hong Jiang speaks with Certified Traditional Hawaiian Practitioner Kauila Clark about Pre Paao Hawaiian beliefs, spirituality and practice.

[@alohauniversal5083]

Mahalo Ke Akua ! Mahalo for interviewing Kahu Kauilua Clark (RIP -rest in peace). I had the privilege of meeting Kahu Kauilua at the 5/25/12 - 5/28/12 Life changing Conference: “Voyage of Aloha”! (It was filmed, portions of Voyage of Aloha are available on Vimeo). Kahu Kauila’s sharing then & now not only touches my heart & reminds me of the truth I resonate with.... his words reach my soul at a deep level. May all beings be at peace, receive food, shelter, medical treatment & social services.... May the aloha spirit abound within Hawái’i, heal these islands, & spread throughout the world, healing all. Mahalo Ke Akua for naming Hawai’i, the State of Aloha, as the Piko for humanity’s healing. May we live up to this kuleana. Mahalo for your patience with us & our egos. Mahalo for the gift of life, for teaching us about “Wahine & Kane” (sacred Goddess & God, Divine Feminine & Divine Masculine). Mahalo I’o. Mahalo Mau’i. Mahalo. May all beings be whole, living in abundance, inner peace & inner joy , contributing & receiving.... very consciously experiencing Personal Sacred Sovereignty. It all starts inside. Let us be instruments of peace, loving ourselves, our families, our communities, our island, our island nation.... Mahalp now!

Oh this is beautiful ❤❤❤

Beautiful interview. Many gems of Hawaiian wisdom are shared. Mahalo and Aloha.

[@richardnelson8787]

Interesting. I took a DNA test and have always known I was Kanaka Maoli (Hawaiian) as my mother was 1/5 Hawaiian and my father was 3/4 Hawaiian and we can trace our Hawaiian family back a few hundred years but something that surprised me is how many DNA relatives I have in New Zealand. So many Maoris, with Maori names whom I’ve never met nor knew of. I believe this somewhat validates the connection between Hawaiians and Maoris at least in my mind it does. But I’m no scientist lol

[@omggiiirl2077]

Lucky you, my Hawaiian ancestry is from my paternal grandmother, so it doesn't even show up in my ancestry test. Crazy yeah?

[@pirateofthepacific9687]

Hawaiians are the ancestors to the Maori people so yes we are very much related. All polynesians are related

[@waxman96]

i think Hawaiians and many Polynesians are connected or related to ancient Mu people of pacific islands from Samoa, Hawaii, NZ to Rapa Nui aka Easter Island

[@goukhanakul]

My dna is similar kanaka maoli born and raised but many of my close relatives are of maori decent. In my liniage i decent from a legend of tawhaki or kaha’i. Even our names are similar kanaka maoli in hawaiian or tanghata maori in maori have similarities in meaning as we say ali’i for chief they say ariki chief. Our k is replaced with t in maori as is our l replacing r in maori our names okina or gutteral pause the backwards apostrophe is replaced with k as described earlier with aliʻi and ariki. We are all ohana in the end

[@jomama_808]

Same for me! I was wondering why I had more Maori connections than Hawaiian.

[@omggiiirl2077]

If you think the similarities between Hawaiian beliefs and Asian beliefs are amazing, look up the Igbo and Yoruba indigenous spirituality. I'm part kanaka Māoli, Korean and Black among other things, and it always amazes me the similarities and the deep understandings that both West African and Hawaiian spirituality, we both eat pounded starch, and believe that they were born from a child's corpse. We also believe in a form of spiritual energy be it mana or chi etc. We all believed originally in one supreme being and the importance of ancestors, and that everything in natural existence from the rocks the earth and you and i come from the supreme being, and a spark of that divine resides even in the trees and even in worms just as it resides within you and i. There's more but as much differences there were, there were more commonalities. It's why I've left Christian mythology and now rely on the wisdom of my ancestors and take the good only from Christianity.

[@infinite5795]

It also bears some similarities to Hindu myths, but Hindu myths predate all them together.

Thank you Hong Jiang and Kauila Clarki, this gave me so many insights about the things that I have been wondering lately!

[@noemamamaka3368]

U should seek better sources of information Like reading "Ua Mau" by Dr. Keanu Sai. Be wary anytime a Hawaiian comes forward without any authorities, references etc. It's so sickening. I am Hawaiian who speaks ANCIENT Hawaiian, an all but dead practice. Would you contribute further to the killing off of truth? Don't buy the bag, because make no mistake YOU DO HAVE TO BUY IT.

It is a good one of a kind guide for using the secrets of ho oponopono to master gratitude and forgivness without the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my cousin at last got astronomical results with it.

[@tunui1]

migrations has always been a part of history, so also ours. But our roots as Polynesians lies in the old continent of Mu, or also known as Ta Rua, or Tahiti Na, or Havai'i what originally referred to the enormous continent that existed in prehistoric time in the pacific ocean. The mountaintops which survived the earthquakes and tsunamis are now what we know as Polynesia. The Mu who lived there were defined by the kahuna as predecessors who composed this worlds earliest civilization, a race of people who dwelt in Hawaii a very long time ago. The first race of human beings to occupy this earth, according to ancient creation chants.

[@goukhanakul]

Yes that is why i think we have the distinction in kanaka maoli meaning the original people as same with tanghata maori because within our lineage lies both the warrior lineage that came after along with the original inhabitants that were here pre paao. Uncle alex pua’a has a video on youtube that speaks on this

[@katrussell6819]

Thank you.

[@pamela-rose]

Thank you this brings confirmatiin on what I'm seeing in the spiritual. I'm also feeling Maui was a Race not a being?

[@themakuachronicles]

4 years ago, (right before covid hit) I had several “encounters” with some kind of guardian, or he was letting me know he was guardian, I heard chanting in Hawaiian, and could remember Eo being mentioned several times and haire mai chanting Māori… in a flash I suddenly found myself being escorted to some kind of place or knowledge, and they were speaking in ancient language. For some reason I understood it I don’t speak this language of course I don’t know how I can explain what I knew, and something in me was translating in English in my mind. I wanted to ask my dad about what these words meant and this guardian he was very large. We arrived by canoe place we arrived at was a beautiful island with that was majority red. This guy was pink, it was beautiful but the animals look different as well. There were animals in the sky resembled a prehistoric time when the night fell there was no moon it was just pink sky and the Earth was very sharp. There were sharp mountains. I thought I was going crazy. I didn’t know where I was, but it seemed familiar to me, when I started translating, this guardian said in a very frightening, loud and loud kind of, but it was in English. He said “NOT YOUR Language, CONQUER ER!!” he then I felt myself flying out of the canoe straight and high in the air feeling afraid of drowning at the rate I was going up I knew it would be a devastating landing in the water no way I could survive! Another flash, backyard looking up at the stars I don’t know how much time I was there how long I was there, but it seems like our have gone by my neighbors saw me and asked me if I was OK and I thought wow that was some kind of daydream or something and I spoke with A tremble in my voice and I responded yeah I’m OK why my neighbor said because it looked like I was fighting something they saw me doing some kind of what they said some kind of Cappetta type of movements like someone was there, but no one was there they said I look like I was fighting no one! This was very frightening so I called my dad and asked him if he knew anything about Maori in Hawaii or maybe what the chant was saying, and I was talking real fast and telling him about how we are not really Hawaiian that we are Tahitian because the Guardian showed me exactly where he was taking me and I knew where it was on the map it was south Pacific, almost a different dimension part of the Tahitian islands they call. Arerau enua arerau enua this is all I knew this is all I know I guess I violated some kind of when I tried to translate in English and was knocked off the canoe. My dad said he did not know, but he will ask and he told me he met another lost line of McClure on the big island, he is my uncle and he said they are shaman and one even does the tattoo he knows of the ancient knowledge and has to meditate on the mountains for the designs. His name is Kaleaokalani Makua, and then my dad told me what he said before he could ask. He said he told him we are from Tahiti and that we learned from the Maori since then, I have been on a quest to find truth of who I am, and where I am truly from not ever really fitting in anywhere😢

As well as it is the pathway I am currently being guided through mediation to follow. Wow, I am Hawaiian and I will be aloha!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@glol8086]

Mahalo Kauila Clark for sharing your mana'o

[@jahjah525]

I really appreciate listening to this man because I learned from everything that people share with me but he needs to understand that there were ages that happened and that the gods have a larger plan for his teeth are people Through the Ages so when that age of war came the most high is going to make the best out of that war so we are speaking about ages happening there's a time for love and a Time For Peace there's a time for war and a time for hate there's a time for reconciliation and there's a time for everything in its due season that's why we used to look at the stars because they told the story so this man needs to realize that it can't always be peaceful when there is a bigger master plan going on. Ku who United the island also there are lineages that are made from the gods that's why we have genealogies so there is always going to be an Elite Class no matter what and the most high wanted and set up the lineages just wore that and he's going to see very soon what I'm talking about
