Video presentation in english: The tibetan book of Dead by the great Leonard Cohen (complete)

 

The Bardo Thodol (Tibetan: བར་དོ་ཐོས་གྲོལ, Wylie: bar do thos grol), Liberation Through Hearing During the Intermediate State, is a text from a larger corpus of teachings, the Profound Dharma of Self-Liberation through the Intention of the Peaceful and Wrathful Ones, revealed by Karma Lingpa (1326–1386). It is the best-known work of Nyingma literature,[3] and is known in the West as the Tibetan Book of the Dead.

The Tibetan text describes, and is intended to guide one through, the experiences that the consciousness has after death, in the bardo, the interval between death and the next rebirth. The text also includes chapters on the signs of death and rituals to undertake when death is closing in or has taken place.

IITs are showing Indian institutions how to become more LGBT friendly — Quartz

India remains among the least friendly countries for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people. This was clear to me as an engineering student in the late 2000s. In the hallowed halls of my alma mater, we debated and argued about everything under the sun. Most of the time I came out a better person…

To bring down the New World Order and prepare the New Era

« We are overwhelmed by the false values ​​and miles unnecessary items that distributes consumer economy to maintain and develop itself with the help of a few profiteers. But the true riches are not where you would have us believe. They are in nature and in ourselves; they are accessible to everyone; rediscover gives joy and peace. « 

Jean Giono,1936)

 

Nouvel Ordre Mondial 001

Inswinging against avalanches bad news coming daily, it may be nice to look to the future with realistic and positive.

Much better than criticism, the proposal is placed above the sterile debate and helps us stay upbeat and always believe in victory.

Although exercise may seem trivial, it is more constructive to support real activists than spend time describing the horrific plans of our elites. Codex Alimentarius in the vaccination campaign through the carbon tax and chemtrails, subjects abound.

« And now what do we do? » This recurring issue must be addressed and any proposal is welcome. I propose here a range of actions based

our commitments and skills.

Each of us can change the world in his own way, Internet still resistant to media control, it may allow us to

organize. The father with three children to join the two hawing course will not have the same availability as a young single thirsty for change and

financially alone. Here is a humorous illustrated however, a wide resistance versus tone:

* The supreme battle for all resistant New World Order is the écologie.Je return in another article on the fundamental importance of ecological struggle.

1) Information and personal culture, the first line of defense against lobotomization masses.

If you are happy to read my articles on this site, rather than reading store flyers,

Well done! the human mind that is left in you body and your sheep survival instinct

resurfaced. As 80% of people, you understand the inconsistencies of H1 N1 virus and vaccination suicidal. You rediscover the desire to educate you

correct way, to escape the propaganda and view documents that see

news from a different perspective.

Every day, you make a quick tour of the information, taking the trouble anyway

watch the press line, and then comparing it to the alternative information you

can find on the Internet or in some books.

You’re a consumer spectator of the world but you want to understand it,

to find faults and solutions, this is a very good starting point and you‘ve done the

challenging.

As we have all experienced discovering videos of Jimmy Guieu, reading Erik von Daniken Guy  Tarade or  reflecting on the words written by Albert Jacquard or

falling on a revealing book by Jacques Bergier, the clock is more or less brutal but turning back seems impossible.

The next step is to take your relatives to this information so that the

lie no longer reigns supreme.

2) The transmission of information, an essential step to the opposition media propaganda

What is striking with Internet is that it is ironic facility

a video comment, participate in forums or join groups but the huge

difficulty to tickle the curiosity of his neighbor, his colleague, his wife or his

relatives.

The distance that provides Internet avoids the errors discussed with the average zombie

that its panel of stock phrases to try to send a stroll « Should not

generalize, «  » Internet, there is everything and anything, «  » Yeah but that’s the theory

conspiracy. « And yet, there are those who are afraid of nothing and not lose courage

to go ask their banker, doctor, or accountant, who in turn will

confronted with issues they will floor.

Instead of going for a lit of conspiracy, you prefer to give good

references to books, videos, conferences and documents, it is in fact much more

effiface and less unpleasant. Those who act in their immediate environment deserve

the finest medals.

Many today have a webcam and a microphone,

a good video software, and you can improvise journalist, dethroning masterfully

Many journalists from traditional media, chained to their teleprompter.

But beware, it should set up your findings in your everyday life, such as avoiding aspartame, thinking reasonably about your problems

santé.et continue to help you.

Chine colère 017

3) From information to action, the step on which we must not stumble.

You do not fall into the trap of « Do as I say but not what I do. » Because criticism is easy but art is difficult. It’s a big win, you are released!

Reflexes look at the labels of your food starts coming, you look after your health and want to expand your skills. A little cure

Vitamin C (pure, not simmered Acerola) and a healthy diet have given you plumb

you begin to see the benefits of your research and instead of spending your time debating, it’s smarter to take the lead. It’s beautiful you

‘ve got it, you will make your family because your moral rebounded jealous.

Understanding is one thing, action is another, I have a special thought for our

Montreal police officers who may have been encouraged or forced to hit students in 2012 under stress

dismissal. and were faced with the choice: « Living or Surviving? ».

4) The distribution all media, or the pleasure of taking market share from Radio Canada or TF1

That’s it you are determined, ignorance around you pushes you to the limit and you started to pull, to make videos, write articles, take pictures, shoot

events and you post burning CDs, DVDs … you seek to contact those who have learned the truth, congratulations! You had nothing to envy to pianoteur who wrote

this hidden behind the screen section and you take example on militants coming label Israeli goods in Carrefour, activists who WeAreChange

towing an implement on the Bilderberg group or the protesters before the vaccination centers. You are an engine of revolution and your motivation is palpable.

Then you just full of good ideas as to distribute videos or pamphlets

for a local event, without claiming the gold palm documentary.

We come halfway, and yet the information alone is both the first and

the last step, because we are all in search of truth. The next step you

commit probably take some risks very moderate, but if revealing.

5) Promote more to earn more.

Like our French colleagues from Continental, employees who have « 

kidnapped « their boss and activists that lead to justice Roselyne Bachelot, you

decided to hit them where it hurts. You’re master of your own, and you can be

proud of your pair of c *******.

The government makes you repeatedly demonstrated its injustice and you have

intend to know and not to let you down.

Even if some damage is regrettable as this mayor of Montreal a little shaken up by

firefighters and police officers, it is insignificant compared to the number of broken lives and

shameless promises that you made.

The paper and informative approach is essential, but it is still possible to climb and

to make its voice heard, without unnecessary violence. Genes blood Quebec strain of French and First Nations regain their strength and you‘re not afraid to provoke and stand up against injustice, even to take a few hits and administrative pressures to be settled as all other woes you could cross.

6) The citizen lobbying, the return of the boomerang pressures and threats institutions.

While remaining polite but firm, it is possible to put pressure on institutions

that drive us, by making them realize that behind their customer number hides a

voice, group, ideas that are far more powerful than letters or strokes

phones.

Examples

Take the example of the residents of a neighborhood in Toulouse, France, who defended their neighbor

against exclusion, they simply informed the company of EDF and water if they were

cut the energy of their neighbor, it would be twenty to come and restore because it is forbidden to

coming off the water for a family of three children. There’s water for everyone here or not?

Desert the question is not the same, but in France there is water and cut

Food for a payment problem is unfair.

So you really have confidence in yourself, while remaining quiet but making

understand that you are not just anyone. There is nothing illegal or offensive to cause

just his banker saying, « 

Attention is my money at home, if it disappears I come see you, I do not care whether

Rockefeller or Greenspan, if one day my 10,000 euros I can take them off, it’s you

I come to see.

You are strong at heart and continue the struggle against the Zionist invasion as did

our ancestors against the Nazi invasion.

7) Hart

Here we are, the real fun is attacked.

You are driving without a license and you work in black, you withdrew your money from

bank, you set your TV and find a life in all its glory. you have

finally tasted freedom after 12 years of study and 25 years of work, and never someone

will not control your life, you are a true revolutionary.

After all, we are all proud of the American Revolution of 1776, the Patriotes Rebellion, Quebec, from 1836 to 1837 and especially the French Revolution of 1789, right?, It is taught in History, and is also truncated -there, this event marks the strong history of the world.

So why not a second revolution (or rather first) the United States of America, in Quebec and France ..

There is no shame in refusing to pay taxes that go directly into the pockets of

Rockefeller to pay an infinite debt that will never be paid.

The New World Order is your enemy, you focused and you realized that

behind these few thousand conspirators, there are six billion revolutionaries who

waiting to break their chains, and you look for flaws and solutions, it is very

Well, do not panic and keep your energy, in due course you will get great

need.

8) Altruism and Utilities 2.0

That’s it, you put your skills to the service of humanity, you organize debates

conferences, you tinker with yourself and innovate constantly.

Creativity resurfaces, you become artist of the revolution, a future icon will

devoted his life to building a better world, while minimizing risks

to continue working and to share with your concrete research.

Your goal is to improve the lives of your loved ones and the entire planet, you are a

benefactor of mankind and heaven will welcome you with open arms, your soul is saved.

No way to corrupt you, no one will make you shut up!

How far will you take risks?

9) The world of the oppressed needs its heroes

They are so little but so brave. What about the heroic action of the great Vincent

Journal Canal +, interrupting the course of the live broadcast to announce before a

million people, « the financial crisis was intended to impose a world government

. « Followed closely by the young students in the same issue that came to dock

Valérie Pécresse live or Damien Saez who loose on the banksters on a platter

France Television.

What about even a Jean-Marie Bigard which was the value of the French nation

Articulate On September 11, setting in motion his career and

assuming all the risks that follow.

How to forget as Alex Jones, The American alternative information par excellence, with

very good guests, exciting exchanges and recently the involvement of Jesse Ventura.

A big thank you and hello also to hackers who attacked the IPCC to

Britons who flew vaccines there a while, and activists as reckless

Cotten and Marcel Vervloesem, who are not afraid of anything and will return perhaps in

history, if we come out winners for the rewrite.

10) tarred and feathered.

Nothing scares you, nothing holds you back, and you’ve decided to take the law

yourself, because nobody wants to do, and that Freemasonry has infiltrated all

courts.

Most of the actors operating in the shadows and work for justice rather than

glory.

Feel free to imagine how it will be possible one day to condemn the pognée

criminals who believe themselves authorized to do all in the name of money and research

absolute power.

Risk losing everything is not necessarily the right solution, survive the night is the first act of a conscientious good revolutionary Learn all survive the New World Order if you want to cut down and replace it with the…New  Era !

Le 22 juillet 2012,une foule gigantesque envahit les rues de Montréal,manifestant son vœu profond de vastes changements politiques et sociaux.Il est impensable que toutes ces personnes bien informées décident  le 7 avril 2014 de réélire Philippe Couillard et la mafia  du Parti libéral du Québec comme si on venait de renoncer à tous nos idéaux.
July 22, 2012, a huge crowd swarmed the streets of Montreal,Quebec, expressing his deep desire sweeping political changes and sociaux.It is unthinkable that all these knowledgeable people decide April 7, 2014 to re-elect Philippe Couillard and the Mafia of  Liberal Party Quebec as if we had to abandon our ideals in Quebec.

 

 

Conclusion:

Whether you are intimidated or reckless, it all something you can do,

the purpose of this article is not to recruit or to push them to revolt, only a few

additional lines that will encourage a few more activists, and will

one day straw.

Whether we are awake or‘re warriors first united the capabilities of each

will save this country become, Quebec, the main target of the New World Order to destroy her

desire for freedom. In France, the People understood that this is not a battle between left and right as in the United States between Republicans and incompetent Démocrates.Les globalists have lost much of their margin of error, a window offered us to turn things around.

To one and all, good fight, good luck, never lose hope, every win will give us a little more strength and one day or the other, the system will collapse.

Only a  World  Movement of Civil Disobedience can unite all individual actions in a common front!

Michel Duchaine

 

 

 

 

 

The organization of the World Movement for Civil Disobedience

Motre étendard,notre logo!
Our flag,our logo!

 

Any organization with enormous ambition to become world must begin at the beginning: find loans to disseminate information of this idea idea.A people to live to be true, reflect a reality and carries a long-term project .

You can not find better idea than to develop this vast World Civil Disobedience Movement because it  reflects truth, reality and social project.

« Being forced to fight against his instincts – that although the formula of decadence. « 

(Friedrich Nietzsche)

In the famous words of Nietzsche, I would add: Building society Human Earth by killing the Natural Order is the worst case of mass suicide known in the history of Earth.This  judgment seems harsh, but it reflects the reality that humanity is currently facing.

Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, humans on Earth have seen their numbers grow to one billion people in more than seven billion actuellement.More than 50% of the food produced is wasted and lost, which means that the Earth could feed more than ten billion people now, but could not withstand a 50% increase in the current fleet.

This is the wrong demographic and economic management of the current masters of the world, those who are at the top of the New World Order.

As these satanic beings they planned the extermination of more than forty percent of the world’s population, as they felt that over time they would lose control over too many people and that one day showcase their power and their wealth would cause a major global civil war, country by country, but with certainty.

This is from the control of food, energy and money that the Masters of the World seek to maintain our enslavement and extermination and our pure simple.Le programmed trigger a Third World War will surely improve their prospects shaving part of the Peoples of the scheduled end Terre.The scheduled end of humanity was halted by the discovery of their plot would have used vaccines derived from a biological weapon to sow in our bodies a viral bomb retardement.Je then speak dfe several people I’ve known who are now dead, following a vaccination.In  Quebec, simply replacing the Liberal government of Jean Charest, many obsolete for vaccines or saying, fight against H1N1 allowed to defraud more than $ 3.5 billion.

All current government and our politicians in the pay of neoliberalism are corrupt and controlled from within. Neither of them are the exception to the rule and they directly threaten the lives of all the peoples of the Earth.

This is just one small example among millions of others and I run out of time in my life, wanting to describe them all, but we will act immediately rather than continue to find and only react however parole.Je allow myself, to display a brief summary of many major crimes committed by defenders of neoliberal capitalism to support what they see as « their sacred right to make a profit. » It is yet to a privilege that they can take on the expense of the people.

Since it is clear that the whole of humanity and all life forms on Earth are threatened by a small elite from various unscrupulous criminal gangs linked to the Mafias in the world, we will unite citizens and citizens of all countries on all continents to stop the oppressors, put in prison and penalized.

We will proceed from this day, starting officially founded the Global Civil Disobedience Movement and creating National Movements to support a concerted global action.

Our actions will be peaceful, non-profit and lacks vision totalitaire.Nous just want to get rid of a dictatorship and not replace it with another.

The ultimate goal: the result

At the end, defeat the New World Order management should give us a decentralized world government with a mandate of all free and independent nations of the world to guide the People of Earth Humans in reasonable continuity the human adventure.

The abolition of the power of money should allow a new vision in the relations between humans and their relationship to their common environment.

We fundamentally believe that the restoration of the natural rights of all life forms, should provide a sustainable balance between population growth and respect for human life havens to help protect the diversity of animal species.

We believe that the United Nations is only exposure chamber for manufacturers of weapons and chemicals and pharmaceutiques.Nous believe that a large portion of the decisions of the New World Order are primarily from the oil industry, which then dictates laws to the UN. the UN has never fulfilled its primary mandate to maintain peace, but rather kept alive the murderous spirit of the Second World War, from which it originated . There has never been much of armed conflict on land that since the establishment of the UN itself!

We believe that abolishing wars between nations, we could focus our attention to the development of space exploration and the establishment of military bases and powerful settlements development in the solar system that is in place nôtre.We will put in place SETI (Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) program to come into direct contact with other civilisations.Nous believe a program for the establishment of settlements in all possible planets and moons in our solar system would perpetuate the human adventure for over a million years and that contact with an advanced civilization we open the doors of all Galaxie.Nous believe that if we leave to the New World Order, the human adventure will last longer than 100 or 200 years at the most, because we burn the candle at both ends.

We believe and are sure to be seen and our murderous habits, our lack of compassion for the poorest children in the world, our lack of love for the animal species diversity decreases and dangerously poor judgment of those who only see profits in all that is natural and free by birth, help us away from our Space Brothers who dare to officially our rencontre.Nous believe and are sure that the current World Masters have preferred to keep their secret alliances with demonic forces in order to maintain their power over human slavery Earth.

It is easier to deny truths and promote lies to keep control as it is known that threatened to tell the truth and risk losing that control the world.

Therefore, We the People of Earth Humans demand that justice be done about the millions of unnecessary deaths perpetrated in the name of capitalism and privilege to make a profit on the misfortune of 99% of the inhabitants of this planet.

We condemn the current leaders of the world, those who claim to be « real » Masters of the World, to undergo Justice of the People, once you are identified and placed under arrest.

We acknowledge the guilty ones of heinous crimes against all of humanity that is placed in self-defense against you.We consider getting rid of your despicable people, become one of the most important moments in Recent History of Liberation « Real » Peoples and Empowerment of Humanity as a whole!

You, the parasites on Earth, members of many secret societies, bound together and organized crime wars manufacturers, we condemn, on behalf of all peoples, and all forms of life on Earth, the death penalty .

The World of Civil Disobedience Movement therefore gives the mandate to disobey you, you stop, you judge and condemn you to the most radical sentence exists.

We Power Amount of Justice of the People and you are what this planet has produced more contemptuous of most criminal and most dangerous in his existence.You  are raptors that feed on the blood of life in you capturing the natural right to make a profit financier.You  do not even deserve to be considered part of this planet « called Intelligent Species » one more minute!

All of you who are part of the cult of the Illuminati and have greater control over international high finance, arms factories, oil and pharmaceutical industries, corrupt bankers of the West, and you, the members of the Triads Chinese, associated for generations to Asian organized crime, as well as all other criminally responsible for millions of deaths and misery of the 99% of the inhabitants of this planet companies, we will banish from the human race! Animals have a thousand times more respect to me that your life dedicated to the accumulation of wealth stolen.

The New Era in which all of us live recently announced not only a great cleaning in the political sense, but also a major spiritual renewal, as humans of Earth will increasingly feel connected to the Earth Mère.Nous will learn to love being part of the Earth, without wanting to appropriate it.

Earth, Gaia, is free, and they prefer to remain rather than become the prison of a small elite of unscrupulous profiteers.

We sing now and forever, First Notes Song of Liberation of Human Nature and their love for the Earth, our great Motherland, our only island in the ocean of space now.

Let us unite in our beautiful diversity

I invite all those who feel called to make history and make a better world!

I invite you to take center stage and create National Movements Disobedience Civile.Je introduce you to each other in each of your pays.C is nationalism that will save the planet and not globalism.

You choose a guide, a spokesperson, a leader among you and together we will be part of a global movement of civil disobedience that one day will make the biggest revolution in human history, changing individualism, the spirit of domination and the need to kill humans on Earth into a collective need to work together for everyone’s well-being and development of generations venir.Nous will do because it will take collective means to survive against the poisoning of the atmosphere, facing desertification land, facing the energy crisis facing the food crisis and the major problem that will eventually kill more and more humans, the lack of drinking water.

By dint send every day, a small brick in the wall of the corrupt and false system, one day the wall will fall with all his weight.At this moment, I’ll probably be long dead, but I think we all as the heirs of the New Era and among us and our descendants will one day a Great legislator that will change the face of the earth, because we are born to change the world and preserve life.

In the name of life of our children and generations to come that I present this great project.

Long live the world revolution!

Long live the Global Civil Disobedience Movement!

Enter the New Era!

Rewriting history: the four Great Gods Tiki of Hawaï

The Four Major Tiki Gods
Hawaiian Forces of Nature Personified

ku1
Ku – Ancient Tiki God of War
In Hawaiian mythology Ku is one of the four great gods along with the ancient tiki gods, Kanaloa, Kane, and Lono. He was the husband of the goddess Hina (Beckwith 1970:12), suggesting a complementary dualism as the word ku in the Hawaiian language means « standing up » while one meaning of ‘hina’ is ‘fallen down.’

Ku is worshipped under many names, including Ku-ka-ili-moku, the « Seizer of Land » (a feather-god, the guardian of Kamehameha). Rituals included human sacrifice, which was not part of the worship of the other gods. Ku, Kane, and Lono caused light to shine in upon the world. They are uncreated gods who have existed from eternity (Tregear 1891:540).

Lono – Ancient Tiki God of Fertility and Peace
In Hawaiian mythology, Lono is a fertility and music god who descended to Earth on a rainbow to marry Laka. In agricultural and planting traditions, Lono was identified with rain and food plants. He was one of the four gods (with Ku, Kane, and his twin brother Kanaloa) who existed before the world was created. Lono was also the god of peace. In his honor, the great annual festival of the Makahiki was held. During this period (from October through February), all unnecessary work and war was kapu (taboo). This is also the season of taxes, olympic like games and when chiefs regrouped their forces (and organized campaigns ironically).

Lono and the death of Captain Cook
Some Hawaiians believed that Captain James Cook was Lono returned and indeed this fact may have ultimately contributed to Capt. Cook’s death (see James Cook – Third voyage (1776-1779)). However, it is uncertain whether Captian Cook was taken for the god Lono or one of several historical or legendary figures who were also referred to as Lono-i-ka-Makahiki. According to Beckwith, there was indeed a tradition that such a human manifestation of the god [Lono] had actually appeared, established games and perhaps the annual taxing, and then departed to « Kahiki, » promising to return « by sea on the canoes ‘Auwa’alalua » according to the prose note. « A Spanish man of war » translates the queen, remembering a tradition of arrival of a Spanish galleon beaten out of its course in the early days of exploration of the Pacific; « a very large double canoe » is Mrs. Pukui’s more literal rendering, from ‘Au[hau]-wa’a-l[o]a-lua. The blue-sailed jellyfish we call « Portuguese man-of-war » Hawaiians speak of, perhaps half in derision, as ‘Auwa’alalua. The mother honored Keawe’s son, perhaps born propitiously during the period of the Makahiki, by giving him the name of Lono-i-ka-Makahiki, seeing perhaps in the child a symbol of the tiki god’s promised return.” (Beckwith 1951).

Kane– Ancient Tiki God of Light and Life
In Hawaiian mythology, Kane Milohai is the father of the tiki gods Ka-moho-ali’i, Pele (whom he exiled to Hawaii), Kapo, Namaka and Hi’iaka by Haumea. He created the sky, earth and upper heaven and gave Kumu-Honua the garden. He owned a tiny seashell that, when placed on the ocean’s waves, turned into a huge sailboat. The user of the boat had merely to state his destination and the boat took him there. In agricultural and planting traditions, Kane was identified with the sun.

The word Kane alone means « man ». As a creative force, Kane was the heavenly father of all men. As he was the father of all living things, he was a symbol of life in nature.

In many chants and legends of Ancient Hawaii, Kane is paired with the god Kanaloa, and is considered one of the four great Hawaiian divinities along with Kanaloa, Ku, and Lono.

Alternatively known as Kane, Kane-Hekili (« thunderer » or « lightning breaking through the sky »), Kane Hoalani.

Kanaloa – Ancient Tiki God the Sea
Kanaloa is one of the four great gods of Hawaiian mythology, along with Kane, Ku, and Lono. He is the local form of a Polynesian deity generally connected with the sea. Roughly equivalent deities are known as Tangaroa in New Zealand, Tagaloa in Samoa, and Ta’aroa in Tahiti.

In the traditions of Ancient Hawaii, Kanaloa is symbolized by the squid, and is typically associated with Kane in legends and chants where they are portrayed as complementary powers (Beckwith 1970:62-65). For example: Kane was called upon during the building of a canoe, Kanaloa during the sailing of it; Kane governed the northern edge of the ecliptic, Kanaloa the southern; Kanaloa points to hidden springs, and Kane then taps them out. In this way, they represent a divine duality of wild and taming forces like those observed (by Georges Dumezil, et al.) in Indo-European chief god-pairs like Odin-Tyr and Mitra-Varuna, and like the popular yin-yang of Chinese Taoism.

Interpretations of Kanaloa as a god of evil opposing the good Kane (a reading that defies their paired invocations and shared devotees in Ancient Hawaii) is likely the result of European missionary efforts to recast the four major divinities of Hawaii in the image of the Christian Trinity plus Satan.

Minor Tiki Gods and Legends

Kauhuhu – The Shark God of Molokai
Kauhuhu lives in a cave on the side of a high ocean cliff that is protected by two ancient Hawaiian dragons. He arrives to his cave by riding the eighth wave in a set of giant waves. He devoured any man the saw him and his dragons killed anyone who entered his cave. Once however he found a man in his cave and quickly pounced on him and had him halfway in his mouth when he took pity on him. The man, Kamalo, was able to explain quickly enough that his sons had been murdered for playing a powerful chiefs tiki drums. The chief, Kapu, was very powerful and everyone feared him so Kamalo had to seek Kauhuhu, the shark god.

The shark god instructed Kamalo to return to his village in the Mapulehu Valley and to prepare a sanctuary with many sacred animals and surrounded by sacred white tapa kapu staffs. Then he would wait the arrival of the shark god. A giant cloud would float against the wind over from the Lanai island. It would grow in size and cover the mountains above Mapulehu Valley. From it a rainbow would appear and Kamalo would know the shark god had arriaved.

Kamalo returned to his home and took care of the shark gods old priest (kahuna) who he carried up a cliff, he then placed the kapu staffs in a large ring on the cliff, fencing in the sacred animals. Kamalo called all those close to him together to live within the enclosure. Then he waited with his eyes toward Lanai.

Months past until the cloud appeared, it traveled against the wind and came to rest above the mountains that loomed over the Mapulehu Valley. A rainbow appeared and the winds began to pick up force. Towering dark Storm clouds soon blew in and a great storm began to rage. Lightning broke the sky and torrential rains poured forth in quantities the island had never known. The water rushed down the mountains into the valley in a flash flood. The torrent rushed from the mountain with such force everything before it was swept up into it. The only area that was not devastated was the sanctuary with in the kapu staffs where Kamalo and his followers watched in awe. The storm ravaged the land and the waters flooded the valley, washing everything before it away. Kupa, his home, all of his followers and possessions were washed into the sea where the people of Kauhuhu’s sharks awaited to deliver Kamalo’s final revenge. The bay waters were soon stained red with the blood of Kupa and his followers.

After this day the bay was known as Aikanaka, meaning ‘man-eater’, and everyone learned a great respect for the power of clouds in the peaks above their village. Everyone that heard the story also learned great respect for the power of the Shark God, Kauhuhu.

Kaupe – The Cannibal Dog Man
In ancient Hawaii, there was a class of people called Olohe who were hairless and often specialized in wrestling and bone breaking. Unfortunately, they were also known to be cannibals and robbers. Their leader was Kaupe and he had the power to turn into a giant dog. He used these powers to stalk and kill men until his death. Now he hunts hawaiians as a ghost dog.

Nightmarchers
In Hawaiian legend, Nightmarchers (huaka’i po or « Spirit Ranks, » ‘oi’o) are the ghosts of ancient Hawaiian warriors. On certain nights, they are said come forth from their burial sites to march out, weapons in hand, to past battles or to other sacred places. Anyone living near their path may hear chanting and marching, and must go inside to avoid notice. They might appear during the day if coming to escort a dying relative to the spirit world. Anyone looking upon or seen by the marchers will die unless a relative is within the marcher’s ranks- some people maintain that if you lie face down on the ground they will not see you. Others say that this only works if you are naked. Still others say that you should be naked, lie face up and feign sleep. Placing leaves of the ti (Cordyline sp.) around one’s home is said to keep away all evil spirits, and will cause the huaka’i po to avoid the area. Another  spiritual  creature will coming for help.

Once a shark king noticed a beautiful princess on a Hawaiian beach. He approached her in the form of a great human chief and they fell in love. They were married and she became pregnant. However, on the night before she gave birth to her son, Nanaue, the Shark King departed. He warned her to never let the boy eat meat and returned to the sea.
When the boy was born the princess noticed a slit on his back, she kept it covered and hid it from the village. As he grew this slit became a large shark mouth upon his back that he kept covered from all. When the boy grew to be a man she could not eat with him because of a strict taboo against women and men eating together. One day the boy ate meat and developed a ravenous taste for it. From then on he would follow people to the beach when they went swimming, he would then turn to the form of a giant shark and eat them as they returned to the shore. However, after many died the village became suspicious and tore Nanaue’s shirt off revealing the large shark mouth on his back.

After much struggle and vicious bites from the mouth on Shark Man’s back the villagers tied him up. The high chief then ordered that a great oven be built and everyone dug a pit and placed stones in it. They then attempted to heave the Shark Man into the oven, but he then turned himself into shark form, snapping the ropes that bound him. Nanaue flopped, snapped at people and eventually tumbled down a hill into a river that flowed from the Waipio falls. The warriors of the valley ran along the side of the river, throwing spears and stones at the giant shark, but none dared enter and before they could get their nets Nanaue swam into the sea.

Nanaue swam far from Waipio valley and was not sighted again until he resurfaced in Maui were they had not yet heard about the Shark Man. He resided near Hana and married their chief, a beautiful women. There, he secretly fed on the people of Maui until he became careless and was seen changing shape and attacking a victim. The villagers then launched canoes and hunted Nanaue out of their waters.

Nanaue later surfaced in Maui where he settled near Hana. Unfortunately though, he hadn’t lost his taste for human flesh and he began feeding on innocent villagers. One day he became careless though and was spotted changing into shark form to pursue a swimmer. The warriors of Maui then lunched their canoes and pursued him instead! Using spears and nets they attempted to capture and kill the Shark Man, but he slipped away into the wide ocean.

Once again the Shark Man remerged onto a Hawaiian island. This time it was Molokai where he began a new life. Swimmers began disappearing again though and suspicion was raised. The network of Hawaiian Kahunas had by this time spread the word about the dangerous Shark Man and kahunas of Molokai placed everyone on alert.

The fishermen, who were a crucial part of the effort to find the Shark Man, noticed a man slip into the water and then a giant shark in the sea. They cautiously angled their boats toward him then threw out their nets. The Shark Man was entangled, but he would soon escape; however the warriors of Molokai were ready and launched their canoe and joined the struggle. The great shark form of Nanaue was stabbed with spears and repeatedly netted. Kahunas chanted and used all of their magic to sap the shark of his great strength. The terrible struggle stained the sea red but the might of the Molokai fishermen, warriors and kahunas proved to be too much for Nanaue. He was eventually dragged to the shore where he was beaten with war clubs, slashed with sharktoothed weapons and stabbed with spears. Finally the form of the great shark reverted back to that of a man with a shark mouth on his back, bleeding from dozens of wounds in the shallow red stained surf.

The high chief of Molokai then ordered Nanaue’s body to be chopped up and the pieces thrown into an oven. The villagers were happy to oblige and such was the end of the Nanaue. Soon the word about his death spread like smoke from the oven, and all Hawaiians breathed easier knowing the Shark Man had been vanquished. (for a longer version see Hawaiian-Mythology)
Lua-o-Milu – Land of the Dead
In Hawaiian mythology, Lua-o-Milu is the land of the dead, ruled by Milu. Dead souls enter Lua-o-Milu through a trail called Mahiki. The spirits of the dead can watch what the living do and turn them to stone by staring at them.

Other Ancient Hawaiian Tiki Gods
In a famous creation story, the demigod Maui fished the islands of Hawaii from the sea after a little mistake he made on a fishing trip. From Haleakala, Maui ensnared the sun in another story, forcing him to slow down so there was equal periods of darkness and light each day. Pele is another famous deity, the fiery (in more then one way) daughter of Kane who brought the sea to Hawaii and causes lava flows.

Ancient Hawaiian Lava Sledding
Hawaiian lava sledding (Hawaiian: he‘e holua, « mountain surfing ») is a traditional sport of Native Hawaiians. Similar to wave surfing, he‘e holua involves the use of a narrow 12 foot long, 6 inch wide wooden sled (papaholua) made from native wood like Kau‘ila or Ohia. The sled is used standing up, lying down, or kneeling, to ride down man-made courses of lava rock, often reaching speeds of 50 mph or greater. In the past, Hawaiian lava sledding was considered both a sport and a religious ritual for honoring the gods.
