The Three Selves
The definitions of the three selves used here are
not
complete
explanations. Evolving understanding of the High self includes
more of what in
Euro-Western
tradition is considered external Spiritual elements such gods and
spiritual
forces sometimes called the fourth self.
The Lower self:
The unconscious, subconscious self
where the
emotions reside.This is the shadow and is the part that gathers
the sacred Mana the power which is used to create. The
lower self
is where the emotions and memory are, it is not logical it forms, or
literal
deductive conclusions. The lower self depends on the 5
physical
senses and is able to use telepathy.
The Middle self:
The conscious reasoning rational self. This self is
fully conscious
and reasoning but is not the seat of memory in the Huna View. It has
imagination
and will and instructs the conscience. The middle self is the
ordinary
part the day to day mundane self. It is also the only part that
can do
wrong
(sin). The only wrong Huna acknowledges is to willfully cause pain
or
hurt to a person, being, another including one's self.
The High self :
The Super conscious the God self or soul.
The
High
self brings
all desired things into reality. The high self is trustworthy and
wise. It has intuitive Knowing of the past, present and the fixed
part of the
future and future possibilities. The High self communicates with the
Higher
powers
and other High selves.
The most important thing is that the three parts
work
together
in harmony. They must be strongly connected and able to
communicate with
each other. When the three selves are in perfect harmony that is
when
our lives go beautifully and when seeming miracles happen .
Our goal then, from our conscious thinking
middle
self
is to become aware of and harmonize our higher and lower selves with
our
middle self. This is at the center of many Huna
practices. This
union of the selves results in an incredibly alive and energized
participation
in daily life. The more traditional and ancient practices
do not spend as much time on this as has been needed now. We are
usually less integrated then would have been the norm for people
brought up with these teachings.
You may want to take a few minutes in the morning to
visualize
or just to invite the harmonization of the selves.
This will have a positive
effect
on your well being. Spend one to three minutes intending that
each of
your
selves be harmonized with the other parts. Harmonize low self to
middle self, middle self to high self
,high
self to low self. You may feel
energy
movement internally as you do this. Jst let it happen. This does
work
even
without the attunements some schools use. When you become aware
of the harmonies within and conflicts among your three selves you
will know where your internal conflicts are. This will give you
insight
into the ways you interfere with your own dreams goals and
highest good.
Qualities of Heart
Huna does a great deal of work on developing
qualities of heart and
character important Goals are Enthusiasm , saying yes to
life,Courage
and the ability to give and receive unconditional love. The Huna
practitioner
becomes more and more aware of the the nurturing and loving
aspects
of the Earth. They come to know that they are loved and supported
by nature, connected to
all of life and able to direct energy to assist the Earth in
return
for that support .
