1. I only speak a few languages......
BUT
in Every "Dialect" on the Planet.....
the Name...Names....for God and Good ( did I just add one letter ? )
IS...the SAME !!!
Tahiti.....Atu./ Atua Hawaii Aku / Aku...."Amakua" your "personal" spirit God...?
( NOW I have to TELL U a "real" specific story !!! )
2. God/Good IS a "concept" NOT an "entity" !!!!
even when "extended" to EVERY culture in the LAND.....
the "similarities" ARE "astonishing"
let me give YOU one "example"
we have NO "evidence" that ALL the "disparate" cultures in the WORL...ever MET
YET...each had a "legend" that......
a "Bearded White Faced GOd" would "arive" by Sea.....SO
what color WAS the Beard...???? .....did I mention...."Red" ?????
or Inca's....Aztecs....Pizarro......Eric the Red....Lief EricSON...????
( who came to NewFoundLand...but gave the natives....
his most "precious" gifts....let's see.....
MILK and HONEY ...yes Mead...was how they got tipsy..fermented Honey
BUT..."indigenous People...Blacks...even ALL of us as we age ARE...
'lactose intolerant" ....NO...what OTHER Mammal....continues...to Drink....
"Mother's Milk"....NONE...it becomes Poison...as our enzymes change !!!!
SO...we have NO "evidence" of Lief ErickSON" ever coming ashore....
EXCEPT in Florida !!! BECAUSE...
even THOUGH they did NOT speak the same language....
ALL NATIVE PEOPLE warned each other....
about THIS..."Bearded WHite Faced GOD".....
that tried to KILL/POISON them !!!
and as such...we ONLY ave evidence...that THEY were "repelled"
up and DOWN the Coast.....THEN
returned....to "Greenland" ....
which WAS a "masterful stroke of marketing...as it's ALL ICE
Where did Lief "recruit" FROM...."IceLand" which actually IS not ALL ICE !!!
SO...God/Good...Atu/Atua...Aku/Akua...Alu/Alla...in the Middle East !!!!
I once dated a girl...oops 2 girlz who went to Mills College.....
one from Nuuanu....but THIS story IS about...AmaKua's
given....to :Lani Leary's Dad....while his wife was pregnant with their Daughte
before he went on the TransPac race .... he was "worried" but not enough to stay HOME ? SO....the Duke...Kahanamoku....in a dugeout canoe.... with Lani's ( she's not born yet...Mom's pregnant BIG TIME !!!! ) the Duke...w/her Dad..paddles out of Diamond Head.... and "gives" him...his "AmaKua"....says ..."This....THEY...will protect you he then slits the throat of a suckling Pig....and of course... Sharks gather........he says to HIM......
Your AmaKua...IS the "Shark God"
SO ...even though his wife is Pregnant he sails the TransPAC BUT....his "Radio" fails........
3 days out from Honolulu.... his boat gets....."surrounded" by Sharks !!! that cointinue to surround the boat.... yet there is NO...thing..."nothing" he did to "atract" them....
once he pulls IN to Kewalo Basin... he learns...THAT....he has a new daughter....born three days earlier
BUT....
his wife...her Mother....DIED...in childbirth....
Lani Leary....IS..and WAS...THAT ...girl !!!!
