Travel & Tourism Futures

The Spirituality of Land & Sea in Hawai’i

A Hawaiian spirit guide talks about how to experience the “Heart of the Pacific”.

[This is an edited version of a channeling I received from on a beach on the north shore of Oahu from a spirit guide named Ali’i Kai in March 2020. This was just before the pandemic closed all tourism to the Hawaiian islands.]

This is A Special Place

Ali’i Kai: Hello, Alan. Welcome to Hawai’i.

This is a special place. Because it is so far from the mainlands that are on the edges of this single most important and largest entity on the planet Earth: the Pacific Ocean.

This present spot is not quite in the center, but it is close to the upper left side of the ocean body. It is like where the heart is located in the human body. That is where Hawai’i is in this ocean.

And just as the heart has that special meaning in the human body, so does Hawai’i in the Pacific Ocean. People come here because they know that this is a unique place.

The Spiritual Reality of The Pacific Ocean

THE land is very diverse on the different Hawaiian islands. Each island has its own personality.

The land is also very powerful on each of the islands. Together they form a complex and complete family of environment and culture. It is a physical reality as well as a spiritual reality. They come together in a very powerful way here in Hawai’i.

This is, of course, like many special places on the mainlands that surround the Pacific Ocean. But different, as well, because it is “the ocean” that these Hawaiian physical landforms represent. They are manifestations of the ocean.

The Pacific Ocean itself is an entity with consciousness, with intentions, with reasons for doing what it does. It has an internal organizational structure within physical time-space reality. It is as Gaia is, which is a self-organizing principle for the entire planet.

The ocean has its own self-guiding principles and organization that contribute to the entire planet. It contributes to, and interacts with, the humans and animals that are in any way connected to the ocean. This means pretty much all the animals that are in the ocean and the land areas surrounding the ocean.

So, when you are in this place, you have access to that type of power. People come to Hawai’i to appreciate, to learn, and to experience the full range of physical reality that is the Pacific Ocean.

But they also come for the spiritual reality that is associated with this ocean. Most do not have awareness of that spiritual reality in their consciousness. But they are still experiencing it. They are getting to know it to varying degrees and in one way or another.

Why We Travel

AS you have speculated in the past, this is one of the reasons why travel and tourism exist. It is so that people can, as humans, go to other places and experience the spiritual reality of those places.

Each new place gives them a different perspective on reality. Through multiple perspectives, we increase our awareness of reality, and ourselves.

There is no right perspective — there is only my perspective, which we tend to think is right. We take for granted that our perspective is right. We tend to forget that our current perspective is not the only perspective. Seeing other perspectives helps this.

They are driven by the physical reality — by that external experience that is sold through the travel and tourism industry. And they are driven by superficial motivations for leisure and recreation. They are superficial because people are disconnected from the deeper meanings of their travel experiences.

Sometimes these deeper meanings are discussed in the tourism studies literature that you are familiar with. [Examples include “liminal” and “transformational” tourism experiences.]

For the most part, people who travel are not aware that there are these deeper meanings to the travel experience. That does not mean that they do not experience those deeper meanings.

Those deeper meanings can come out of any experience, in any place, and at any time. And it does not matter what that experience is. It does not matter if it is thought of as good (positive and loving) or as bad (negative or hurtful).

All those experiences have a spiritually corresponding activation of some kind.

So, even though you and other humans are having experiences on a superficial physical level, they are not superficial in their meaning. They are still meaningful at a deeper level. You may only be experiencing them on that physical reality level. But they still reach deep down into a more spiritual and more multi-dimensional level of your being.

Most people are not aware of that level. That is not a problem because over time people will evolve.

(Of course, “time” does not exist. Everything exists in the moment, and time is simply an expansion of your beliefs into the future and into the past. For now, though, we are setting aside that idea and talking about “time” from your 3rd Dimensional perspective.)

Planetary & Human Awakening

PEOPLE will evolve their inner being over time. Their inner consciousness expands. This is happening very rapidly these days.

(Your guides have told you this before. We, the spirit guides in Hawai’i, are very familiar with your guides. We have some overlaps with them. But we, of course, are existing in a very separate time-space location on your planet. We are exhibiting more of the properties and values of this time-place called Hawai’i.)

Consciousness is expanding extremely rapidly for people in the pandemic year 2020 [and 2021] because this is the time for the planet Earth to do that.

Humans are part of the planet. That knowledge is beyond their full comprehension. It is also beyond their control as to how this is going to take place.

What you see on television and in news articles is a human-ego level of interpretation of the state of your planet. At that human level, the best they can do is to respond to the changes taking place. That is what they are doing.

Nobody knows exactly what is going on with the planet. They are doing their best to try to come up with solutions using traditional scientific methods. And to some degree, those will have somewhat of an impact.

But it is a retroactive response; “We see this, and this is how we responded in the past, using models of the past, and this is how we are going to respond now.” Even though, it is somewhat unprecedented in how all this pandemic is taking place.

The planet is changing. People are opening up, becoming more aware, very rapidly. That opening is taking place at a greater level every day. And that opening is what the planetary awakening is all about.

That opening comes from the awareness that the human ego is not in absolute control.

The human ego is a partner in all this. It has to recognize the greater, deeper, spiritual motivations and structural organizations of the planet. This includes things like the oceans. It includes the entire planet Gaia and what Gaia is going through, which is the decision to achieve awakening.

Hawai’i as the ‘Heart of the Pacific’

THINK of Hawai’i as the heart of the Pacific Ocean. How can a visitor experience that by coming to this small but significant landmass in the middle of the ocean?

To make the most of that type of a visit, of that type of travel experience, one needs to find time and space within themselves and within their visit to open their heart and mind to the connections that are taking place through their very presence on the islands.

This requires an expansion of one’s awareness, which is different for each individual. By doing this, the experience is more meaningful. It is more ingrained in the normal physical reality of the individual’s ego.

But this is going beyond the ego. That can be done through meditation. The meditation should have an awareness, an intention, to connect to the ocean. It should connect to the depths and the significance of this great ocean being.

This great ocean is part of the personality of this planet. The Pacific Ocean is a huge part of the planet that most people are not aware of. That is because so much of that ocean entity is hidden from view in the daily experience of most humans, who of course live above the surface of the ocean.

The dolphins, whales, fish, and other creatures who live in the ocean are much more connected to it. In some ways, by experiencing or imagining the personalities of these creatures, you can get a better feel for the personality of the ocean. So, meditation in this way is one way to achieve this.

Another way is contemplation, which can be done while lying on a beach, sitting on some rocks, or climbing a mountain. Just sitting and connecting with nature.

It can also be done by actually engaging with the ocean, or engaging with the land of the islands. This involves doing some activities in which one gets completely absorbed in that activity. This includes things like snorkeling, swimming, and hiking. Do these with the hopeful expectation, because you cannot force these things. You cannot force transcending the ego and transcending the self.

There are other things that one can do, such as breathwork and taking part in traditional Hawaiian and Polynesian ceremonies. The traditional ones have the goal of connecting with that spiritual reality. The spiritual reality is always present and is always just as important as the physical reality that you experience.

These are my suggestions for how you and others can best visit and experience this special, unique place of Hawai’i in this time of planetary awakening.

UNTIL next time — hope you come back to Hawai’i soon.

Love you. This is Ali’i Kai.

Aloha. Goodbye.

Notes

• Ali’i means “of Hawaiian royal lineage” and Kai means “of or near the sea” in the Hawaiian language. I looked up after the channeled message came through.
• This message was channeled on 14 March 2020 at Hale’iwa Ali’i Beach, on Oahu’s North Shore. Wind noise resulted in poor audio quality for much of this channeling. The recording about a week before most of the US, including Hawai’i, was shut down by the COVID-19 pandemic.)
