Energy / Intuition / Feelings / Sixth Sense / Sensitive Perceptions / Divine Signals

  1. The state, quality, manner, or fact of being spiritual,
  2. Attachment to religious values,

     Spirit is defined as an animating or vital principle held to give life to physical organisms,

     Soul, immaterial intelligent or sentient part of a person, a special attitude or frame of mind, having a character or disposition of a specified nature, a mental disposition,

     Another definition is; any of various volatile liquids obtained by distillation or cracking (as an alcohol, ester, or hydrocarbon)

     General English Dictionary definition, include;

   Religion is a belief in a supernatural power regarded as Creator and Governor of the Universe,
 
   Institutionalized system in such belief, practices based on the teachings of a spiritual leader, an activity pursued with faith and devotion,
 
    Did you know the word "Religion" is akin to the word "religare", which means; to restrain, or tie back ?
 
 
 
 

     How frequently do we attempt to understand Spiritual wisdom with our Human intellect ?
 
     Trying to digest Spiritual food with our educated mentality leads to mental indigestion ?
 
   When we Conciously start Cultivating a Spiritual Sense, we Experience, in due Season, & in proportion to our Individual Efforts, those Realities we previously where not able to perceive from Divine Spirit of Truth & Mother of Life,
 
 
   Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional
 

The search for a spiritual path sometimes is born out of pains, disappointments, confusion and sufferings,

     However, for suffering to give birth to a genuine spiritual search, it must amount to more than something passively received from without. It has to trigger an inner realization, a perception which pierces through our usual encounter with the world,

 When this insight dawns, even if only momentarily, it can precipitate a profound Transformation described also as a Healing Crisis, overtuning goals, values & priorities, to a different perspective, & a more accurate perception in this Natural Evolution,

<> Aloha <>

Aloha is more than a word of greeting or farewell or a salutation,

Aloha means mutual regard and affection and extends warmth in caring with no obligation in return, 

Aloha is the essence of relationships in which each person is important to every other person for collective existence.

Aloha means to hear what is not said, to see what cannot be seen and to know the unknowable,

<> Aloha & Mahalo <>

In Hawaiian thinking, words have mana [pronounced: mah' nah], meaning spiritual or divine power], and aloha and mahalo are among the most sacred and powerful.

Say them often as they can be life-transforming and -enhancing. Be careful to use them ONLY if you truly feel mahalo or aloha within. Do not exploit these words for personal gain, and neither cheapen, nor trivialize their use by verbalizing them carelessly or without sincerity.

Aloha and mahalo are ineffable, indescribable, and undefinable with words alone; to be understood, they must be experienced.

Deeper meaning and sacredness is hinted at by the root words of these words. Linguists differ in their opinions as to the exact meanings and origins, but this is what was told to me by my kupuna (elder):

On a spiritual level, aloha is an invocation of the Divine and mahalo is a Divine blessing. Both are acknowledgments of the Divinity that dwells within and without.

Aloha
[Alo = presence, front, face] + [hâ = breath]
"The presence of (Divine) Breath."

Mahalo
[Ma = In] + [hâ = breath] + [alo = presence, front, face]
"(May you be) in (Divine) Breath."
