In HUNA LIFE CHURCH we selected October 26th as our Day of Remembrance primarily because it is the day that Max Freedom Long was born.
What is the Day of Remembrance? It is the day that we take out time to remember those that have made their transition before us. It is respect that we the living, pay to those that have gone before us. It is not necessarily about fallen heroes but rather about anyone and everyone that has made their transition. And for paying our respect to those that we were close to us. Giving thanks for their contributions to our lives.
There is another part of this day that we honor as well and that is being of service to the Ke Akua or Living Divine Force. It is on this day that we as a membership create our connection through our Aumakua to assist Poe Aumakua and the Ke Akua in calling those that are lost who have made their transitions but not into the Light.
How do we do this as followers of the HUNA Way?
In our remembrance of our loved ones we gather Mana and send to their Aumakua to be used as they so see fit. We do this by doing deep breathing and channeling the Mana to our Aunihipili and it will, in turn, send it to our Aumakua with our intentions. Our Aumakua knows what to do and will take that energy and direct it appropriately.
In our act of being of service to those in general who have made their transitions but have not joined the Light we create with our Aumakua the channel for them to join the Light. This is done by gathering Mana and sending it to our Aumakua with the intent of creating through our connection to the Ke Akua a gateway for these lost beings to join the Light. I first get permission from my Aumakua to do this. I do this by establishing the connection to my Aumakua through my Aunihipili, state my request to open this channel through it for this purpose. Once I have received this permission I visualize my Mana going to the Aunihipili and to the Aumakua and then I watch as the Aumakua establishes the communication to the Ke Akua and create the gateway. To me this has always appeared as a large column of Divine Light. It comes from above from where I know not but ends with me here or near me and I am the anchor here. I then do the Ha Rite or prayer by calling through the Column of Light to all beings that wish to join the Divine Light to enter the column. I am not in judgment but rather I am a facilitator of this action. Many times I have not watched to see what entered but I am aware that many beings do enter. I hold this column for about fifteen minutes or until I start getting tired and then I announce the closing and give thanks for those that have joined and state that I have hope for those that for whatever reasons were not able to join the Divine Light will do so in the future. With cooperation from my Aumakua we release the column.
It should be noted this action is not restricted to just the Day of Remembrance but we do it on this day as HUNA LIFE CHURCH members for sure. It is part of our duty to the Ke Akua as well as being a person of Light!
