Initiations

As our friendship continued to deepen across the years, Makua took great delight in offering his knowledge to us, and on another occasion in Kona on Hawai‘i Island, Makua chose to share something with us that I found quite startling—something that fell more within the realm of “lore.” Yet I include it here because many who feel a sense of kinship with the dolphins and the whales of the water world will find it more than just meaningful. I myself found this story to be a mind-blower, as it reveals why the killing of these extraordinary creatures for any reason is simply unthinkable.

THE DOLPHINS AND THE WHALES AND THE STAR PEOPLE

Over dinner with the chief at a sumptuous buffet in a large hotel one evening, I brought up the Hawaiian concept of Haloa—the immortal divine fire that you feed with your breath. We have mentioned previously that in Polynesian thought, each of us receives our Ha, our divine breath of life, from our ‘Aumakua, our immortal Oversoul self, at the beginning of life. When we release our Ha with our last breath at the end of life, our soul cluster (composed of body soul, mental soul, and the Oversoul seed) returns to our personal ‘Aumakua Source self.

Here are Makua’s words, written down almost verbatim about this wonderful piece of knowledge, a story that may be taken literally or not, yet an account that may contain eternal truths from which there are no escape:

“The dolphins represent Haloa, the divine fire and the breath of life. It is a fire, an action, an intelligence. The dolphins were the first to come from ‘A‘A [the star Sirius]. Their name was Vava‘u according to the people of Bora-Bora. The last to come were the whales Kohola—the record keepers,” Makua began.

The chief looked at me with deliberation.

“We have to speak about the star people now,” he added. “It is known among the Polynesians that humanity originally came from the stars, from out of another dimension, from out there.” Makua pointed his brown finger at the sky.

“We originally came from across the universe in celestial canoes made of light. We came as individual souls, as seeds of light, and we were accompanied by high spiritual guardians who held the knowledge of our purpose, our destiny.”

He looked as though he were drifting back in space and time. He was both there and here when he spoke. “I remember which seat I held. I came in the first canoe, and I remember who sat on my right, on my left, above me, and below me.” He watched me carefully, as if he were monitoring my scientist’s response. I smiled and made a reassuring gesture.

“The first who came was actually Kanaloa with his wife Malei‘ula.” Makua glanced down at his walking stick. “As I mentioned, they came from the star ‘A‘A. They came before us and found this water world to be acceptable. So they dove deep and remained here as water beings. They sent their celestial canoe back to ‘A‘A and the rest of us then followed.
