Is it? Arguably yes. In my opinion, definitely yes. But is that healthy? Allows for everyone to be running around in their own little worlds? Think about that.

And is this the definition of ‘ike? No. Even if this was not intended as a definition, the first of the seven principles of Huna is contradictory.

‘ike
1. nvt. To see, know, feel, greet, recognize, perceive, experience, be aware, understand; to know sexually.

To know. Not to think.

Think about how the entire business of Huna is based in misinformation.

thanks a lot for writing so clearly and inspiring about the huna philosophy. It sure is the best article we found on the web about it. Somehow the huna -thinking feels as a a philosohy right from the heart and the truth of it can therefore not only be reasoned by also be felt.

Thanks for sharing this and a great Aloha from Holland.

Thank you for letting me know – it’s good to hear it! Have you ever read any of Jack London’s books about Hawaii? Brings me back to a time I’ll never know, but wish I had… Thanks again Steve.
