Your Aumakua or Higher Self
Your Aumakua is that part of the Great Higher Self which is with you from birth to death. It is that part which is personal. It is your “Spark of God.” It is your small part of the Universal Mind, which waits above you to be called upon, by you, for help whenever needed. If you don’t ask, It will not interfere in your life. There creates our free will! And we can continue to use to use free will until we decide we are ready to ask for help from the Higher Self.
The main reason to learn and practice Kahuna wisdom is to learn to bring the Higher Self into direct contact with the subconscious and the conscious self. That is, to bring the three selves into balance and teach them to work together for the good of the unit and for the good of the world.
This contact will have to be an intentional contact with the Higher Self. You have to consciously seek for the Higher Self and bring It into a working union with the other two selves. This sounds like other phrases you’ve heard, such as; “Seek ye the Father within.”
In the Hawaiian teachings this represented the Higher Self in Its dual aspect of male/female, or the Yin/Yang of the East, or even the positive/negative of science. The Hawaiians, and especially their Kahuna, recognized that the Universal Mind is, at one and the same time, both and yet neither!
Until Max Freedom Long began his intensive search in I920, very little was known of the ancient wisdom outside the secret world of Hawaii. IT is great that much of this wisdom is becoming available again, and that so many people today are showing an interest in becoming spiritual. I think is great, because a correct understanding of the three minds of man can and will do wonders for the world.
