#Monolithic #statues of #Marquesas-Islands are under explored. The alien looking statues are most likely the clue to their origin.

#Huna #Kupua
by Serge Kahili King
Huna is a Hawaiian word meaning " #secret," but it also refers to the #esoteric #wisdom of #Polynesia. Kupua is another Hawaiian word and it refers to a specialized #healer who works with the powers of the #mind and the forces of #nature. In that respect it is very similar to the #Siberian #Tungusic word "shaman."
The understanding of Huna described here comes from the kupua tradition of the Kahili family from the #island of #Kauai, through Serge Kahili King, who was adopted as the grandson of Joseph Kahili and trained in his tradition.
The #Seven #Principles
The basic assumptions of Huna are these:
The World Is What You Think It Is.
There are no limits.
Energy Flows Where Attention Goes.
Now Is The Moment Of Power.
To Love Is To Be Happy With (someone or
something).All Power Comes From Within.
Effectiveness Is The Measure Of Truth.
The Three Selves (or Four)
Another set of assumptions used in Huna is that #human #behavior and experience can be explained and changed through the interaction of three (sometimes four) selves, aspects or functions:
- The High Self (Kane, Aumakua), inspires.
- The Conscious Self (Lono) imagines.
- The Subconscious Self (Ku) remembers.
- The Core Self (Kanaloa) wills. The Four Levels of Reality
A third set of assumptions coming from the kupua tradition divides all experience into four levels or frameworks of beliefs about reality which can be summarized as follows:
- Everything is objective (Scientific reality).
- Everything is subjective (Psychic reality).
- Everything is symbolic (Shamanic reality).
- Everything is holistic (Mystical reality). The #kupua ( #Hawaiian #shaman) learns to move in and out of these realities in order to change experience more effectively.

Carte
« Une carte n’est pas le territoire », a dit Alfred Korzybski
Les civilisations inventent leur propre représentation du Monde. Support d’apprentissage de la navigation, les cartes à bâtonnets polynésiennes permettaient aux piroguiers de mémoriser les courants marins et les îles (représentées par les coquillages). Celle que j’ai dessiné s’en inspire, même si elle est totalement fantaisiste. Une navigateur océanien la trouverait probablement absurde, si tant est qu’il y ait encore de nos jours des gens qui sachent lire ce type de carte.
Et pourtant, en la dessinant, j’eus l’impression un moment de me perdre doucement dans le clapotement paisible des vagues, le chant envoûtant des piroguiers…
« Ho-e a-na… Ho-e a-na... »

"The peopling of Polynesia was a stunning achievement: Beginning around 800 CE, audacious Polynesian navigators in double-hulled sailing canoes used the stars and their knowledge of the waves to discover specks of land separated by thousands of kilometers of open ocean. Within just a few centuries, they had populated most of the Pacific Ocean's far-flung islands."
Geneticists "compared the DNA of 430 modern individuals from all across Polynesia, and then eliminated later genetic input from European people. Because the researchers knew Polynesians had journeyed stepwise from island to island, their genetic analysis utilized a genetic phenomenon known as a population bottleneck. When a few dozen to a few hundred individuals from already-isolated island populations settled a new island, and then a subset of that group left to settle an additional island, and so forth, their genetic diversity would have shrunk with each voyage."
"To estimate how many generations went by between each island discovery, the scientists measured the length of shared genomic sequences between founder populations. Together, the data showed who descended from whom. That made it possible to not only show that two populations were related, but which came first."
"Canoes set sail from the shores of Samoa -- more than 2000 kilometers north of New Zealand -- around 800 CE. The explorers arrived first on Rarotonga, the largest island in a chain now called the Cook Islands. Successive explorers moved in all directions, island hopping over the course of centuries and eventually reaching all the way to Rapa Nui, 6500 kilometers from Samoa and 3700 kilometers off the coast of Chile, by 1210 CE."
"Three island cultures known for carving massive stone statues -- Rapa Nui, Raivavae, and the North and South Marquesas -- shared a common founder population in the Tuamotu Islands, even though they are thousands of kilometers apart and geographically closer to other parts of the Pacific."
"Those three islands also hold the earliest genetic traces of Native American ancestry among Polynesians. That suggests ancient Polynesians first contacted the Americas around 1100 CE, when the seafarers were beginning their last, and longest, expeditions."
