In old Hawaii, where the flow of primal energies created unparalleled natural beauty, one of the world’s most highly advanced spiritual cultures developed. Before his passing, Kahuna elder Hale Makua granted Dr. Hank Wesselman permission to share the sacred spiritual knowledge he had gathered from working with this revered wisdom keeper for eight years. Here he talks about such insights as: the three directives of a spiritual warrior, the seven life roles and how they are expressed in both positive form and negative forms, the difference between a shaman and a medicine person, and the ancestral grand plan.
