TO INSPIRE A WORLD WHERE
A.L.O.H.A
IS THE HEARTBEAT OF HUMANITY THROUGH
CONNECTING TO SPIRIT
UNIFYING CULTURES
RAISING THE GLOBAL CONSCIOUSNESS
I: SPIRIT
pilina i ke kumu ola
AWAKENED ALOHA is empowered to promote healthy, balanced, and aligned connection with Spirit. Known by many names across many generations and cultures, the Source, God, or Great Spirit has been the foundation of all harmony, morality, and humanity with us all.
In Hawai'i, this Source is known as 'Ī or 'Īo by ka po'e kahiko (the ancient ones). 'Ī is the Supreme God likened to global monotheistic cultures. Yet, we know that the common teaching is that this Source / Spirit lives within us all. It (non-gender) is represented by the breath of life, the spirit within us that is one with the One.
"The One is manifested in the many as the many are manifested in The One"
Our inspiration with this pillar is to promote ones personal spiritual connection to 'Ī, uphold spiritual principle in our communities, and foster deeper collective practice in communing with Spirit in the Way of Aloha.
II: CULTURE
ho'omau nā mo'omeheu kūpuna
AWAKENED ALOHA is inspired to perpetuate Hawaiian culture & build positive, long-lasting bridges between Hawai'i and the world. For millennia, our ancestors from across the world have developed unique cultures that encompassed distinct values, principles, practices, & ways of being that directly connected humans to place.
In Hawai'i, our culture has remained intact for over a thousand years developing from a greater oceanic culture spanning across Moananuiākea (the great Pacific ocean). This culture, although threatened by westernization in the 19th century & colonial systems by Americanization in the 20th century, has maintained grounded in our unique cultural consciousness & has remained steadfast as the kāhua (foundation) for our people.
"a nation without the knowledge of its past, origins, and culture is like a tree without roots"
- Marcus Garvey
Our inspiration with this pillar is to co-create the pathways to reinvigorate cultural connection in the western society, who has for the most part, been de-cultured over generations. Our inspiration is also to share the fundamental human values within our cultures that amplify collective unity, while harmonizing the many colors of our one human family.
III: CONSCIOUSNESS
ho'āla ka mana'o pono me ka no'ono'o lōkahi
AWAKENED ALOHA has been called to the work of raising the human consciousness through the Way of Aloha. For much of our existence, humans have lived with ideologies that have divided our species, separated us from our inherent way of being, and brought almost irreversible harm upon our home planet. We must heal our relationships to one another and return to our natural God-state to foster the love we all look for.
In our work, we strive to provide education, materials, and experiences that re-connect humans to their God-center, by the unification of the 3 piko (energy centers). We have learned through our work in Hawai'i and beyond, that a heart centered humanity is where peace, unity, and harmony will be attained for us all. WE must choose to live it and create a society that builds upon the unification of mind, heart, and spirit.
"The world will come to Hawai'i in its search for world peace because Hawai'i has the key, and that key is Aloha." - Kumu Pilahi Paki
Our inspiration in this third pillar is to contribute to the collective Great Awakening of humanity today. Many believe that we are living in unprecedented times where humans will experience a global shift of consciousness. Our goal here is to gather the warriors of the rainbow (Hopi Prophecy) & share the light in a pono, positive, and purposeful manner.
