Ho’oponopono: Beyond The Mantra, Into The Cosmos
Discover the ancient Hawaiian spiritual practice that offers a profound understanding of self, existence, and the universe.
An Invitation to Curiosity
Picture this: A universe where problems can be seamlessly addressed without complete understanding. Sounds liberating, doesn’t it? Welcome to the world of Ho’oponopono—a realm where one can experience sheer joy and relief by realizing that solving life’s mysteries doesn’t necessarily require decoding them.
Unraveling the Essence of Ho’oponopono
Dive deep into the ethos of Ho’oponopono, and you’ll find it rooted in the pursuit of understanding our true identity and rectifying the common misconceptions about ourselves. It beckons the seeker with two core questions: Who am I? and Who’s in charge?
Drawing parallels with Socratic wisdom, the journey begins with “Know thyself.” It’s a call to introspection and recognizing the true nature of existence.
Reality: Not as Physical as We Believe
A prevalent misconception today is viewing the world strictly from a physical lens. Many in the scientific community, with their laudable research on DNA, search for answers to maladies like heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. But are we overlooking something profound?
The Law of Cause and Effect illustrates that while physical or environmental problems (like heart disease) are often blamed on factors like faulty DNA, it omits a vital aspect: addressing the ancestral experiences that might have contributed to such conditions. All ailments, physical or mental, might be pointing towards karmic issues, silently whispering tales of our ancestors, which our subconscious carries within.
The Illusion of Control: Who’s Really in Charge?
The conscious mind, our intellect, often perceives itself as the maestro, orchestrating our experiences and decisions. Contrarily, research, like that highlighted in Tor Norretranders’ User Illusion, suggests that decisions occur before our conscious mind even registers them. Surprisingly, the conscious mind processes merely fifteen to twenty bits of information per second from millions that bubble underneath its awareness.
So, if our conscious intellect isn’t truly in control, who is? Memories. Both our conscious and subconscious minds are directed by memories replaying, influencing our perceptions, emotions, and actions.
Ho’oponopono & The Cosmic Law of Cause and Effect
The intriguing concept in Ho’oponopono is viewing the body and world as manifestations within the subconscious. These manifestations are typically echoes of memories, with rare instances of divine inspirations shining through.
It’s vital to understand that our soul doesn’t create these experiences. Rather, it’s either reliving past memories or, occasionally, acting on divine inspirations. The real challenge lies in recognizing that worldly issues aren’t the root problems. They are mere manifestations of memories replaying in our subconscious.
The Profound Embrace of infinite Void
Beneath our perceptions lies Void— the foundational bedrock of our self-identity, mind, and the cosmos. This concept aligns with scientific understanding, where the universe emerges from nothing and eventually returns to this state of zero.
These constantly replaying memories displace our connection with this Void. To reconnect, these memories must undergo transmutation by the Divine Intelligence, returning us to our foundational state.
Practicing Ho’oponopono: A Confluence of Divine Components
Diving into the modern adaptation of Ho’oponopono, we find a process deeply rooted in repentance, forgiveness, and transmutation. It’s a dance of four integral components: the Divine Intelligence, Super Conscious Mind, Conscious Mind, and the Subconscious Mind—all harmoniously working as one.
The Super Conscious Mind remains untainted by memories, perpetually in sync with Divine Intelligence. At any given moment, only one—either memory or inspiration—can command our subconscious. Essentially, our inner self serves a singular master at a time.
Every entity, animate or inanimate, finds commonality in the Void. It remains the indestructible foundation of all that exists and doesn’t.
