Did You Notice It Too?

Today when I awoke I immediately knew that it is a better world than it was yesterday.

NOW THAT THE UNITED STATES HAS ELECTED A HAWI'IAN AS PRESIDENT The Spirit of Aloha will spread

Visiting Hawai'i is still the very best available "Movement Toward Happiness" however.

THIS IS VERSE TWO OF A BLOG POST THAT BEGAN TODAY ON MY OTHER BLOG ON THIS SITE

While we are talking and thinking about Paradise here are some of my thoughts today:

SAME SONG SECOND VERSE

There is no bragging in heaven – and never any thought of bragging
In heaven the mind is relieved of all earthly motives and goals
Charity in heaven is not goal oriented
In heaven love ‘rules’ by acclamation – and truth is inherent in love

Perceptions and Perspectives ye will have with you always
In heaven they are benign and free of attachment
Maybe in heaven our mind becomes some form of pure love

I believe that anyone who wants to find a way to heaven will be there
I also expect that some, who never really thought about it, will be there
True friendship is a form of love on this earth, and love will find the way
Selflessness is a form of love, and God is love - That is the key to Paradise

THE SPIRIT OF ALOHA IS INEFFABLE

In Nature's infinite book of secrecy
A little I can read.
- Shakespeare

The wisdom of aloha is a current of conscious and subconscious awareness in the mind.

–Without any future oriented mental commitment, it is based on an inferred database, which includes a realization that no one ever really knows the future.

ILLUSTRATIONS MIGHT INCLUDE:

A lesson cannot be ‘taught’. Lessons must be ‘taken.’

Example is always an adult’s function for the benefit of children.

A teacher creates opportunities. A successful Student takes those opportunities.

The duty for creating opportunities for others ultimately lies with the teacher.

No matter what anyone else does; it is the Student who must discover revelations; And the teacher who must create each opportunity.

Each day holds the potential for Revelation(s) for both teacher and student.

“Carpe’ Diem” is a Student’s motto. And can also motivate teachers.

The body’s version of SEIZING THE DAY is often obviously active;
Action by the mind usually looks passive, but really is more enlightened laissez- faire.

This is The Spirit of Aloha

For we, which now behold...
Have eyes to wonder, but lack tongues to praise.
- Shakespeare

The Spirit of Aloha begins early in the life of a Hawai'ian child

When I was young I learned, and believed, that when you have faith the size of a mustard seed you can move mountains.

Now, I think I understand the way it works -- you must be willing to voluntarily align yourself with the "spheres" - "universe" - "the all mighty" - "whatever" (i.e. do not judge for yourself, faith is trust in something beyond yourself) - and then you will be the final particle completing the "picture" as the mountains ‘move’.

LITTLE GIRLS ARE THE BEST!

CHILDREN AND ADULTS IN PARADISE

This is Not in Hawaii - Hawaii has taller palm trees.

Many Pacific Island societies have a cultural recognition that (all) adults have a responsibility for (all) children.
This springs partly from the intuitive recognition that on a small island it is destructive to everyone when there are direct disagreements and confrontations - because any such dispute disturbs the tranquility of the island.

The Pacific islanders would not tolerate, or in any way foster, plotting and violence over parental cheerleader rivalry, for example.
Any such thoughts are ‘unthinkable.’
Most childrens’ games in the islands of the Pacific are not about winning.
They do focus on developing a high degree of skill; and the level of skill is a source of recognition, but without ‘winners’ or ‘losers,’ per se.
