     Q U O T A T I O N S   O F   V A L U E 
=================================================

"The Binary Qabalah is the basic division of the Tree of Life 
into Right and Left, Above and Below, and Front and Behind, 
where two basic correspondences are brought out: Right = Above 
= Positive = 1, Left = Below = Behind = 0.  From these two basic 
divisions the complete Universe can be classified, which in 
essence is the basis for the ten basic divisions of the Tree of 
Life (referred to as Sephiroth, circles, or numbers)."

David Allen Hulse (The Eastern Mysteries : An Encyclopedic Guide to 
the Sacred Languages & Magickal Systems of the World : The Key of It
All, Book 1)

"No sooner did I sit down than Grandfather began to speak, 'So, 
you wonder how you communicated with the deer and knew where 
they were even though there was no logical reason or physical 
evidence that they were there.  As I have told you so many times 
before, all things of the Earth are connected to each other.  It 
is this connection that we call the spirit-that-moves-through-all-
things.  You were able to communicate with that spirit through your 
Inner Vision.'"

Care2.com                          Featured Website(s)
EMagazine.com
Soundwaters.org
Bioneers.org
Enn.com
Envirolink.netforchange.com

I was reminded of several of these sites, and yes, they do need 
to be featured in any Earth Day newsletter, so I wanted to cap 
off the Earth Day issue of two weeks ago with a follow up.  I 
will review some of these in greater depth in the future.   Every 
one of the sites listed here is incredible in it's depth and 
content offered, or in it's mission.  I recommend that you spend 
some time at each of these sites at some point in the near future 
to familiarize yourself with the awesome power that can wielded 
with the Internet and it's worldwide reach.

Care2.com is a great place for connecting to other 'green 
people'.   The site has been available for many years and now 
claims to be the "largest global community on the Web for 
environmentally conscious consumers" featuring 1.4 million 
members!  The site started out as an online greeting card site, 
but changed to the environmental features with community, news 
and shopping in September 1999.  I remember visiting this site 
when it was still care-mail.  The site now features channels of 
information in Home, Pets, Garden and Money categories, free web-
based Email for anyone.  Check out the EcoInfo tab for a huge 
list of site information, links, and articles.  Find a park, or 
locate other local information for environmental groups near you.

Emagazine.com is the sister site to this print magazine which 
features well laid out online articles from this magazine which 
started publication in January 1990.  There is an archive of back 
issues, a marketplace for Green goods and even an Ask E form for 
submitting questions to the editors.  Sign up for a free trial 
issue to one of the longest running environmental magazines that 
still puts out a great magazine.

Soundwaters.org is a Long Island Sound education website focused 
on providing quality education and events for those in the North 
East.   I highly recommend it for anyone, and especially for 
teachers as the education ideas offered here are extraordinary.
They feature culture, history, conservation and wildlife issues 
through excellent lectures, quality music events, and inspiring 
programs.

Bioneers.org is run by the Collective Heritage Institute who has 
a mission that fits in perfectly with providing for a future 
of visionary interaction between the Earth and human culture.  I 
highly recommend membership in this group which features a yearly 
conference and is working strongly to revitalize the spiritual 
man/nature connection that is so vitally important in our modern 
industrial culture.  They also work to provide a resource for 
alternative agriculture and farming which brings together 
communities of people through economic models which support 
traditional and indigenous cultures.   Visit the site for a quick 
overview of what they are working on, then sign up for a 
membership.

Enn.com, Environmental News Network has been around for a long 
time - 1993, and since 1995 they've been hard at work alerting 
the world to environmental issues on the internet.  The site is 
a treasure trove of resources including in-depth topics on global 
warming, alternative energy and many other topics.  There is also 
multimedia features, forums, a marketplace of products, and up-to-
the-minute environmental news - highly recommended.

The Envirolink Network found at: Envirolink.netforchange.com
provides in depth articles, progressive career information and 
environmental products.  From the select box in the upper right 
you can choose from Animal Concerns, Envirolink, or Sustainable 
Business network.  Each of these provide for an incredible amount 
of information, links, discussion forums, news, actions, and 
event calendars.  They are also responsible for the 
GreenMarketplace, a huge list of Green products that is not to be 
missed. You will find anything you are looking for here, I promise!

Huna healing from Hawaii (pt. 3)          by Brett Simpson

This third and final article on huna philosophy from Polynesia 
will focus on comparing how the huna philosophy and healing 
methods are different, or similar to others.   I think that we should 
first think about where these teachings came from.   

The Hawaiians speak of passing down the information verbally, 
like many earlier cultures recommend.  It is important to note 
that this seems to be the only way that these traditions were 
passed on, yet why was that required?   Was it because the 
teacher was able to transmit more information when the lessons 
were taught by their own voice?   Is something passed on 'in 
person' that cannot be received from a book?

I like to think that both of these are true.  Part of the 
importance of the huna philosophy is the nature of sound and how 
it is used - there are many Hawaiian chants that are known for 
there powerful and great healing powers, so it seems quite clear 
to me that the importance of vibrational healing was very highly 
regarded by the Polynesian people.   

The roots of the huna wisdom were reportedly passed down from 812 
generations - an incredible 26,000 years!  While searching for a 
root race, it seems that this one, along with the aboriginal 
teachings are some of the original teachings to appear on the 
planet.   As I like to go back to the beginning to find the 
source of all things. 

Many westerners speak of similar principles such as the 
collective unconscious that we have discussed in previous 
articles, and the connection to the mind/body aspect of healing.
But those teachings must have been learned or recognized from 
before, perhaps from the huna abilities that we all hold within 
our DNA?   

The word huna has as it's root a word that means peaceful unity, 
in a cooperative sense.  If we can achieve this unity with all 
living things, then certainly we would be at peace, for we would 
truly understand and empathize with every living thing on the 
planet.

The kahuna teaches of an instant healing, one that happens 
instantaneously and that allows the shadow body to recreate or 
heal the part of the body that is diseased or broken.    Before 
this type of healing can take place though, it is important that 
there is no doubt or sin, and that all guilt has been cleared 
away.  The kahuna refers to these elements as a complex or 
fixation which must be healed.  This may be at work when other creatures such as 
salamanders or frogs are able to grow new limbs, or tails if they 
have been injured.   Are the animals pure in their thoughts and 
knowledge of truth to facilitate the healing easier than humans!  

Remember from the first article in this series that it is 
necessary to have the correct attitude of joy and appreciation to 
communicate or have a connection to the Aumakua (over-soul or God 
spirit).   The kahuna believes that any complex, or fixation at 
the lowest level (the Unihipili or heart self), prevents the 
higher self or over-soul from activating the healing.  Certainly 
in modern psychology we can see this same definition and 
explanation of lower self complexes, neuroses or illnesses as 
preventing us from growing, or healing ourselves at higher 
levels.

The higher level healings are those which seem to be more 
permanent, effective and powerful.   If we can learn to remove 
the lower level complexes we will eventually be able to heal 
ourselves at all levels and allow our souls to go back into 
alignment with the higher soul or God spirit that watches over 
each of us.   Again, we see a strong connection here to modern 
religion and spirituality.  Have the ancient traditions passed 
down from Polynesian culture, and others such as Aboriginal 
Australia, and Egyptian been part of our own genetic makeup?

The connection from huna philosophy and the beliefs of the 
trinity (lower, middle, higher self), or the four worlds of 
experience (objective, subjective, symbolic, holistic) as well 
as the seven principles of huna seem to reflect a deeper 
awareness that is similar to modern religions and philosophies.  
Perhaps some of the aspects of the principles of the teachings 
were lost as they were passed to those who did not respect them 
in the same way.

Spirit of the Forest            1993 by Baka Beyond                  
Review by Brett Simpson

There is not enough good words I can say about this recording.  
It is simply incredible and needs to be heard to understand.  
Martin Cradick a guitarist with the group Outback went into South 
East Cameroon, Africa to live for a while with the Baka Pygmy 
people of the region.  What resulted was several CD's of recorded 
material which Martin later re-worked back home in the studio.  

Follow up trips and collaborations have resulted in the 
indigenous people creating their own record label, side musician 
recordings and even 'bootlegs' of some of the original Baka 
material and concerts.  Certainly Martin's guitar work adds 
tremendously to the music here, but it is the rhythmic patterns, 
flutes, talking drums, limbindi and voices of the Baka people 
which hold my attention throughout the entire CD.  

Each song has a unique style to it, that is hard to describe. I 
would say the sound is somewhere between steel drum music from 
Jamaica, Celtic reels and jigs and the distinctive rhythms of 
Africa that many have heard on later Paul Simon albums.   Overall 
though it's a joyful sound, one of inspiration, happiness, and 
one that wants you to get up and dance:  the Baka do not have a 
different word for song/music and dance.  It means the same thing 
to them; you will soon hear why.   

The CD begins with sounds of the crickets in the forest and 
quickly leads into the voice of a Baka woman singing deep in the 
forest which repeats throughout the track.   The songs are quite 
long (5, 6, 7 minutes each), uplifting and fascinating to hear at 
first.  After the first play though, I'll bet you get just as 
hooked as I did, and it seems like you could leave this one run 
all night without growing tired of what you are hearing.

I recommend that you visit the Baka website to make your purchase 
as the sales/profits go directly to help the Baka people 
establish an education center and to further guitar music and 
song recording in the rainforest.  You will also be treated to 
some great pictures of the people and the life in the rainforest.

RATING: 5/5 - Magnificent Baka Pygmy recordings with guitar, 
flute and sampled sounds added to create a truly unique and 
inspirational CD.
