The Pono Principle


Book Description

Imagine what the world would be like if people centered their thoughts and actions on doing the right thing—for themselves, others, and the planet? How would each of these entities benefit, both personally and mutually? In The Pono Principle, author Robert DeVinck offers basic, easy-to-follow steps on how to better the world by asking one simple question: “What is the next right thing I could be doing?” He introduces the Hawaiian principle of pono—the practice of doing the right thing in all things. DeVinck illustrates how this sacred practice is at the core of Hawaiian culture and the spirit of aloha. As a resident of Maui, he’s studied how the principle of pono has profoundly influenced and become central to his own life. DeVinck has learned that actions done for the common good prove to be far more rewarding than actions taken solely for personal gain. When that truth becomes apparent, lives change forever. In his inspirational guidebook, DeVinck has distilled the many life lessons he’s learned, along with the wisdom of the world’s great spiritual teachings, down to the pono principle. By living, eating, and being pono in your daily life, you’ll come to know who you truly are, the person you were created to be.

Blending ancient Hawaiian wisdom with modern practicality, Serge Kahili King imparts the philosophy behind the beliefs, history, and foundation of Huna. More important, King shows readers how to use Huna philosophy to attain both material and spiritual goals. To those who practice Huna, there is a deep understanding about the true nature of life—and the real meaning of personal power, intention, and belief.

Obama - President & Kahuna?


Book Description

This book is no political book. It explains in its first part the ancient Polynesian traditions of Huna and its Seven Principles, Ho´oponopono, Ohana, Talk-Story and Dragon-Dreaming and shows how to use them in our modern times. In its second part it raises the question if President Obama, can be seen as a Kahuna, an expert in his field. Not only because of his Hawaiian descent, but also because of using – consciously or unconsciously - many elements of the Polynesian traditions in his speeches and books. Kreutzer has analyzed Obama´s books and more than forty speeches by Barack Obama. He relates the results to the Seven Huna-Principles, Ho´oponopono, Ohana, Dragon-Dreaming and other Polynesian elements and shows that Barack Obama embodies a new type of leader. The book illustrates that words and messages, stripped bare of political meanings and brought into right context, are timeless and can better our lives, families, communities and our entire world – if we only would listen.




Czech Yearbook of International Law - Rights of Host States within the System of International Investment Protection - 2011


Book Description

With the successful introduction in 2010 of the Czech Yearbook of International Law, Professor Alexander J. Bělohlávek and Professor Naděžda Rozehnalová, the editors, present the 2011 volume of this ambitious project. The second volume focuses on the admittedly controversial topics relating to a shift from the investors’ viewpoints on investment protection to the contrasting viewpoints of the host states, which are facing growing numbers of alleged claims by investors. Volume II has set as its objective to plot the shift in the paradigm towards a new balance between investors and host states in the investment protection system. Such a shift can be observed in the rising number of counterclaims brought by host states against investors, by the introduction of new standards for evaluation of investments in light of the good faith of the investor at the time of an investment, and by the choice of an absolute means of protection of a host state's interest against investor claims by termination of an existing investment treaty. These topics represent pieces of the whole mosaic of this problem, to which the second volume of the Czech Yearbook of International Law is dedicated to a wide professional audience. The Czech Yearbook of International Law (CYIL) is a collective effort by the following persons and institutions

Originally practiced by the native Hawaiians, Ho'oponopono was primarily a group based ceremony, used to solve community based problems and disputes and it has ties and similarities to many indigenous shamanic practices found throughout the world.The Ancient Hawaiians understood the power of the mind. Centuries before mainstream science they identified the distinction between the Conscious, Subconscious, and Super-Conscious minds, and the part they play in forming our present day circumstances.This knowledge was considered so important that they built their whole belief system Huna (The Secret) around it...Huna's main focus was on resolving community based disputes and problems. They discovered the best way to accomplish this was by understanding and controlling the power of the Subconcious Mind- The Ho'oponopono process was one of the most powerful tools they had in achieving this. It was used to clean and 'reset' the mind, leaving it free and open to the positive influences that are constantly being sent to it from theDivine Universal Consciousness.It was updated by Morrnah Simeona in the late 90s to better reflect the demands of the modern world.

Principles of Government and Politics in the Middle Ages (Routledge Revivals)


Book Description

In many respects this book, first published in 1961, marked a somewhat radical departure from contemporary historical writings. It is neither a constitutional nor a political history, but a historical definition and explanation of the main features which characterised the three kinds of government which can be discerned in the Middle Ages – government by the Pope, the King, the People. The author’s enviable knowledge of the sources – clerical, secular, legal, constitutional, liturgical, literary – as well as of modern literature enables him to demonstrate the principles upon which the papal government, the royal government, and the government of the people rested. He shows how the traditional theocratic forms of government came to be supplanted by forms of government based on the will of the people. Although concerned with the Middle Ages, the book also contains much that is of topical interest to the discerning student of modern institutions. Medieval history is made understandable to modern man by modern methods.
