1000 Word Excerpt
for Essential Huna


Aka means shadow in Hawai'ian and the Kahuna used this word to describe the substance out of which the etheric doubles or the auric bodies of the subconscious and conscious are made. Actually, everything has an aka body, including thoughts.

Aka also means a luminous extension away from the body; or a halo of light around the moon or sun; or a circle of light extending from the moon or sun before it rises above the horizon. It also means transparent, reflection, mirror or essence.

Recently, scientists mathematically confirmed a theory, called the strings theory, that states everything in the universe is connected by strings. The ancient Kahuna knew of these strings, which they called aka threads, centuries ago. The aka substance has the characteristic of being sticky and stringy. It can attach itself to other objects or people like chewing gum that can be stretched out. It can also be pulled very thin, much like a strand of spider silk. It is the spider that symbolizes this aka substance in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. Spider Woman is an important Native American deity. It is this aka substance of which the Silver Cord is made. (The Silver Cord is the name for the connecting cord between the ?Unihipili and the 'Aumakua).

Aka has certain qualities. It can attach and stick to something. It can be pulled out like threads. Aka threads carry chemical substances from one person to another. They are also used to send and receive telepathic messages and impressions. Aka acts as the container for mana or energy. Aka cords or threads are great conductors of mana.

Does this mean that prayers sent to the 'Aumakua along the aka cord are telepathic? Yes, indeed! In fact, all prayers are telepathic! This may seem like a strange idea, but when you pray you project your thoughts and your desires outward towards the Divine. This is communication between consciousnesses and you dont use any of the five physical senses to accomplish it. It can best be described as telepathic.

The three Selves remain in their aka bodies after the death of the kino. Together they either reincarnate or move onward to graduate. Graduation means to move into the next level of consciousness. The ?Unihipili is promoted to a 'Uhane, the 'Uhane is promoted to an 'Aumakua and the 'Aumakua graduates to a higher level of consciousness. A new 'Unihipili emerges from the animal kingdom to take its beginning position in the human trinity and in the continuum of your life stream.

THE AKA BODY OF THE (UNIHIPILI)

The aka body of the 'Unihipili is the most versatile. It is denser than that of the ?Uhane. It interpenetrates the physical body, molecule for molecule and cell for cell, making an exact replica or pattern of the kino. All healing is accomplished through this pattern. It extends about 1/2 inch outside the kino and is seen by some aura readers. The aka body of the 'Unihipili exists in the same space as the kino. Aka is a conductor of low vital force energy or mana.

The 'Unihipili can extend a finger of its aka substance and locate and read information about an object or a person. This extension is also accomplished by looking through the eyes, hearing a sound, smelling, or feeling something.

Aka also extends by thinking about a person or an object. The full awareness of the five physical senses can be projected with this aka finger or the entire aka body can be disconnected from the physical body, during astral travel, except for an anchoring cord of aka substance.

Analyzing and measuring another persons character, personality or intelligence is another ability the 'Unihipili uses via the aka threads. It also measures relationships to surrounding objects, texture, temperature, etc. It is the 'Unihipili in its aka body that makes dowsing and remote viewing possible. It is the substance used for all psychic abilities.

The 'Unihipili sends and receives telepathic messages along the aka threads. Every time we touch or think about an object or a person we attach an aka thread. The more contact we have with an object or person the more aka threads we attach. These eventually become braided into aka cords. As the aka threads strengthen, they become excellent conductors of vital force or mana.

The 'Unihipili uses aka to store bits of information and memories in its body/cell-library. Memories and complexes are carried over into the spirit life after death in the aka body of the 'Unihipili. Therefore, it is important to rid the 'Unihipili of the guilt complexes before death.

THE AKA BODY OF THE (UHANE)

The aka body of the 'Uhane is lighter or less dense than that of the ?Unihipili. It interpenetrates the body also, but concentrates around the brain or head area. The 'Uhane cannot extend any portion of its aka body outward. The 'Uhane exerts the energy or mana of its Will through its aka body. The entire aka body of the 'Uhane can disconnect from the physical body and go astral traveling. Some people believe that the 'Uhane travels to the land of Spirit in its aka body when we dream. Both Selves that reside in the physical body travel outside the physical body using their aka bodies leaving a connecting aka cord attached so they can easily return to the physical body or kino. The aka bodies of the (Uhane) and the (Unihipili) are the luminous energies captured on film by Kirlian and aura photography.

THE LIGHT BODY OF THE (AUMAKUA)

The body of the 'Aumakua is not made of aka substance, which only functions on the physical plane. We do not know what kind of body the 'Aumakua actually has, but it has been described as a body made of light that our human eyes cannot penetrate. Often people report seeing their Guardian Angel or 'Aumakua as a magnificent ball of blue-white light, surrounded by a brilliant yellow-white light that radiates a great feeling of love. People, who have had near-death experiences, also describe these Light Beings. The halos extending around the heads of saints and other religious figures in early paintings are symbolic of the light body of the 'Aumakua hovering around its charge.
