Ho'oponopono- A Gift To The Planet From The Hawaiian People

Recently, Joe Vitale wrote about a simple Forgiveness technique that rocked his world (Zero Limits, Wiley, 2007). He actually said to Dr. Len, his co-author, that after learning this technique, everything he had written up until then became obsolete. Dr. Len assured him there was still value for some in what he had written previously, but Joe knew something completely different and new had happened.

In the ancient Hawaiian culture, whenever a member of the community fell into any kind of misfortune, whether through illness, accident, or even willful crime, the entire population sat in a circle around the person, silently searching their own hearts for how they may have contributed, even in some seemingly minor way, to the person's suffering. Perhaps they held a judgement against this person or their family or maybe felt a secret envy or jealousy. Whatever the case, after they recognized their part and silently asked for the subject's forgiveness, they quietly left the circle. No words were shared. In the end, when all had made their own peace, the individual sitting in the middle was healed.

As simple as this practice sounds, it works based on what we now call quantum principles- that we are all entangled or connected and therefore we cannot escape the effects of one person on the collective, or of the collective on one person. It also works on the metaphysical level we have been discussing, that of the One Mind asleep in a dream of suffering. All minds, then, are joined as One, even in the dream.
