This is my perspective and my intention is to open a dialogue to navigate the emergent paradigm out of outdated systems, red tape bureaucracy, plantation politics, and put sourcing your divine destiny for instant gratification.  I love my community and island.

    The Intriguing Charms of Our Area Code 808 in Hawaii

    Hawaii, often referred to as paradise on Earth, is known for its stunning landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and warm hospitality. But what about its phone area code, 808? While it might not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about the Aloha State, it has its own unique charm and significance that makes it interesting to explore. 1. Aloha Spirit: The 808 area code is more than just a number; it embodies the famous Aloha spirit. This code is a symbol of the warm, welcoming, and laid-back attitude that defines Hawaii.

When you see 808 on your phone, it's a reminder of the paradise that awaits on the other end of the line.

    Kapihe’s Prophecy/ Hermetic Laws

    “When Kamehameha I was ruler over only Hawaii Island, and not all of the islands were his, and while the eating kapu was still enforced, and while he was living in Kohala, Kona, Hawaii, it was there that a certain man lived named Kapihe (also called Kamaloihi) and his god was called Kaonohiokala.” (Hoku o ka Pakipika, March 20, 1862) “This man named Kapihe went before Kamehameha I and before the alii of Kona, and he said …” E hui ana na aina E iho mai ana ko ka lani E pii aku ana ko lalo nei E iho mai ana ke Akua ilalo nei E kamailio kamailio pu ana me kanaka E pii mai ana o wekea dek iluna E ohi aku ana o Milu ilalo E noho pu ana ke Akua me kanaka The lands shall be united What is heaven’s shall descend What is earth’s shall ascend God shall descend And converse with mankind Wakea shall ascend up above Milu shall descend below God shall live with mankind (Kapihe; Velasco) Spoken about three years before Christian missionaries arrived in the Hawaiian Islands with bibles and scriptures, the prophecy of Kapihe seemed to foretell the abolishment of the kapu and transformation to Christianity and westernization. “The chiefs and commoners were astounded at these shocking words spoken by Kapihe, and they called him crazy. This perhaps is the truth, for some of his predictions came true and others were denied.” (Hoku o ka Pakipika, March 20, 1862) “(I)t might be thought that Kapihe’s was a riddle and the land would not literally join together … Perhaps his words were not his alone, but from God.” Elevate your understanding, enrich your spirit, and join a community of seekers on a transformative journey through the heart and soul of Hawaii.
