Aloha Kakou, The best minds will tell you that when a man has begotten a child he is morally bound to tenderly care for it, protect it from hurt, shield it from disease, clothe it, feed it, bear with its waywardness, lay no hand upon it save in kindness and for its own good, and never in any case inflict upon it a wanton cruelty. Mark Twain Hawaiian sacred teachings of Huna: The Great Mystery teaches me how to trust my heart, my mind, my intuition, my inner knowing, the senses of my body, and the blessings of my spirit. Teach me to trust these things so that I may enter my Sacred Space and love beyond my fear, and thus walk in balance with the passing of each glorious Sun. I come from a worldview that begins ‘before there was time’. Why would you take by force what you may obtain by love? Why would you destroy the mother (earth) who gives us life? The Human experience on our sacred earth is a mere drop in the bucket compared to the life of a rock. The easiest act is to kill. It has been demonstrated for over thousands of years. To live in harmony takes respect, patience, acceptance, compassion and love. It has been said by our ancestors, Old Men and Mothers know the folly of war. Leaders are bestowed with the responsibility of making decisions based on sustaining a minimum of the next seven generations. We are at a fragile time in our human experience. With wise leadership great things can emerge for all of humanity and our earth. Let history recount this time as a great time of change, hope and a time of evolution. As allies and world leaders, we have the strength to do what is right and noble for our nations, neighbors, the entire human family, and the natural world. Standing alone we will perish. Huna Sacred Moral values of ‘ohana’ family: 1. Treat the earth and all that dwells upon her with respect. 2. Remain close to the Great Spirit – Akua. 3. Show great respect for your fellow beings and the natural world.

Work together for the benefit of all humankind and the natural world. 5. Give assistance and kindness wherever needed and do it with unconditional love. 6. Do what you know to be right all the time, even if you’re standing alone. 7. Look after the well-being of mind and body so that you are not corruptible. 8. Dedicate a share of your efforts to the greater good of all. 9. Be truthful and honest at all times. It is better to hear an uncomfortable truth than a lie. 10. Take full responsibility for your actions with courage and respect for self. Gentlemen, your nation are family that we call ‘Ohana: There are no citizens, subjects or friends… We are ‘Ohana family. ‘Ohana is family. Our ‘Ohana includes those we have always known as our family, surrounding us with love at the time of our birth. However ‘Ohana also includes those we choose to call our family, for the connection we share with them enriches our life. ‘Ohana becomes a sacred form for sharing our lives with Aloha, for it gives us the unconditional gifts of love, understanding, forgiving, and acceptance. ‘Ohana is the most secure and comfort-filled support we have for facing truth, for ‘Ohana never loses hope. The bonds of ‘Ohana are strong yet supple: They flex with giving and with the love and acceptance of Aloha, yet they are made rigidly secure by those same supports. These bonds may be tested, but they cannot be broken. ‘Ohana is a human circle of complete Aloha. The reports are multiplying about nations preparing for war, including the United States, European countries, and Middle East countries. Emotionally immature members of the Human species are being manipulated into destroying themselves, millions of innocent Humans, and much of the Natural World the species inhabits. The Puppeteers believe that they can initiate a large-scale war and manage the outcome to their benefit. These puppeteers deceive themselves in thinking they represent the entire planet, how arrogant, for they walk in foolish pride without honor. Ka Pu’uhonua O Na Wahi Pana O Hawai’i Nei Nou Ke Akua Ke Aupuni O Hawai’i kingdomofhawaii.info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bilateral_treaties_signed_by_the_Kingdom_of_Hawaii The United Nations Charter provides the rest of the authority to do it.” An autonomous independent sovereign nation-state contemplated under Article 1 of the 1933 Montevideo Convention on Rights and Duties of States requiring the state as a person of international law possessing the four qualifications of (a) a permanent population, (b) a defined territory, c) government; and (d) capacity to enter into relations with the other states. What they ignore is the Human morph created by all the fear, hatred, anger, and other negative emotions that are being generated. That morph is a conscious force that is nearing saturation level and capable of a violent spasm that will tear a hole in the fabric of creation. The issue is no longer one of religion, ethnicity, greed, or other points of division within the Human Family that can be leveraged into war. The issue is restoring sanity to Humanity and preventing Humanity from inflicting damage on itself and on the rest of creation. We call upon the elders of the species, who should be speaking out against the haters and warning of the dire consequences of passively watching the destruction unfold, to speak out. We call upon the religious and spiritual leaders, who preach peace and brotherly/sisterly love, to speak truth to power. We call upon the peace movements that previously mobilized millions of people to take to the streets and share their dreams of a peaceful future on social media, to come together again. This generation of Humans has reached a pinnacle of existence, the proverbial Crown of Creation. There is free will to choose to proceed to the next level of consciously designing and implementing a sustainable future. There is also free will to choose destructive behavior where the negative results are already demonstrated over and over again. Please stop looking for enemies outside of yourself. If you want to find the enemy simply look at yourself. Challenge yourself to be the leader that is righteous, good, strong and wise. Be the leader that demonstrates compassion and sound leadership in all adversities. Be the leader that is humble, honest and listens to his heart beat for there you can hear the heartbeat of your people and mother (earth). In the last several months there have been rumors of war. Then rumors became reality in the minds of those desiring war. War makes money and thins out the population and to the victor goes the spoils. The question is… Where is this war going to be? What country is going to host this evil act of senseless aggressions that serves not the good but the evil? Nations lying to each other is no secret. Neither the United States of America nor any nation is innocent of this. Today’s leaders may pronounce and agree. Will their word bind those that come after? Will limiting Iran’s development of nuclear weapons prevent Iran from pursuing the development of missiles that can eventually carry such weapons? Ka Pu’uhonua O Na Wahi Pana O Hawai’i Nei Nou Ke Akua Ke Aupuni O Hawai’i kingdomofhawaii.info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bilateral_treaties_signed_by_the_Kingdom_of_Hawaii The United Nations Charter provides the rest of the authority to do it.” An autonomous independent sovereign nation-state contemplated under Article 1 of the 1933 Montevideo Convention on Rights and Duties of States requiring the state as a person of international law possessing the four qualifications of (a) a permanent population, (b) a defined territory, c) government; and (d) capacity to enter into relations with the other states. Will Israel pursue missile capabilities to carry the weapons they already possess and, thereby, further destabilize the Middle East? No one knows the answers to these questions. Until such time as the denuclearization of the Middle East takes place, these questions will hang over the Human future. Sometimes the simplest truths are the most profound… Before the hour is late, I’d like each of you to go back to a time when you were children and how safe you felt knowing that your parents were nearby to protect you, feed you, teach you, guide you, cloth you and most of all love you. Now, you are all grown up and yourself parents. Even more so, you are world leaders. As world leaders, you have the power to affect many, many lives. Your role as world leaders is not any different from the role of being a father, provider and nurturer. Except now your family of hundreds of thousands and millions is depending upon you to make wise and loving decision for them and your household, which is your nation. Your nation is your family and so are your neighbors. Imagine throwing a pebble into a lake and watching the ripples grow and grow and grow. This is the world of nations that are your neighbors. Your actions are like dominos with far reaching affects impacting all our lives and the natural world. We must think about tomorrow while we still have a tomorrow. Many across the earth are fasting, meditating and praying that we will stop our fighting and bickering and act to resolve the threats that we could leave as their legacy. Do we not see that they would like to live in harmony and not be burdened with our legacy of conflict? Do we not see that they would like to have a world at least as healthy and livable as the world we were born into? The Kingdom of Hawai’i stands for the truth that we are one Human Family living on one planet. We stand for the proposition that there are only two real issues that face us -- how to achieve peace and reconciliation within the Human Family and how to achieve peace and reconciliation between the Human Family and the rest of the natural world. The Kingdom stands ready to contribute to realizing both those goals. We have an ancient conflict resolution technique called ho’oponopono. We offer that process to all nations in conflict. We offer our islands as a neutral, non-aligned nation with no agenda other than achieving peace. We offer to host a gathering of spiritual and political leaders from around the world to engage in a process that produces that peace. Ka Pu’uhonua O Na Wahi Pana O Hawai’i Nei Nou Ke Akua Ke Aupuni O Hawai’i kingdomofhawaii.info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bilateral_treaties_signed_by_the_Kingdom_of_Hawaii The United Nations Charter provides the rest of the authority to do it.” An autonomous independent sovereign nation-state contemplated under Article 1 of the 1933 Montevideo Convention on Rights and Duties of States requiring the state as a person of international law possessing the four qualifications of (a) a permanent population, (b) a defined territory, c) government; and (d) capacity to enter into relations with the other states. We can surely see that we can no longer simply let events drift. The drum beat of war among nations grows too loud. The destabilization of our planetary support system grows more obvious each day. We can continue the same patterns of thinking that brought us to the brink of the abyss. Or we can look to new pathways which assemble conscious, thoughtful, and moral people to guide our community to a new future. The Kingdom of Hawai’i chooses peace and invites the other nations of the world to do the same. Put down your swords and let us resolve our differences. Me ke aloha pumehana, Edmund K.
