Those who lived on this peaceful land understood the forces of the universe, they named this power mana. The manipulation and utilization of these forces were common place. Mana was known as the life giving force that emanated from Akua (God), it fills all of space, mana is that, which all things are made of. In time the residents of Mu began to abuse this great gift of knowledge, they used mana to selfishly obtain earthly things, they also used the power in harmful ways. This misuse affected the elements, polluted the land... this caused mother earth to respond, and after a time, the earth forces sank the motherland of mankind beneath the blue Pacific. Some of the "ancients" foresaw the signs of catastrophe to come, and sent men of wisdom to colonize in directions both east and west. Most of the remaining population perished, however, a few escaped to higher regions before the waters rolled in over the land. Those who made it to the mountain tops, now found themselves on islands cut off by thousands of miles of open ocean. Two tribes, the Menehune and the Mu survived on what is now called Hawai`i ..... ~ http://www.punawelewele.com/halepai/iulai/mana.htm

Featured Member's Choice Entertainment Digital Art 18 October 2007 ~ Western slopes of Haleakala, Maui Hawai'i gazing out over the isthmus of the island at sunset ~ "And upon the stillness of a cloud-filled afternoon, the child asked of the Mystic: "Where is God, the Creator, and how will I endeavor to find the sacredness of His Being?" And the Mystic answered: Once upon a thousand years ago did a man seek the answer to your very question. He searched the mountains for the One called God; But he only saw the green and yellow blanket of distant aspen trees. He walked along the ocean shore, to know the Creator of Life; But all he heard was the rhythmic roar of the tide's own song. He rode across the prairie, looking to find God at his journey's end; But all that came to him was the sweet fragrance of the wild flower's bloom. He reached out for the sky, pleading for a sign of His Presence; But he only felt the vastness and timelessness of the starlit night. Oh foolish man that he was, to search for God with the eyes of his mind; When He was forever with him, when seen through the eyes of his soul." ~ Listen close and you shall hear the whispering wind both far and near. Truths revealed while all alone that you might find the way back Home. ~ excerpt from The Prophet's Candle by Daniel
