More on the Psyche :

Sondra Ray explains the Hawaiian's understanding of how our psyche is constructed, which closely parallels what Freud determined [and makes me wonder if Freud had some input on this from a Hawaiian source.] This is the Hawaiian Huna philosophy which understood that each person had three souls, the Low Self, the Middle Self and the Higher Self. The Low Self is the equivalent of Freud's unconscious. In Serge King and Max Freedom Long, it is called the "subconscious." The relationship between the three souls of the human psyche is not straightforward according to the Hawaiians. This issue will give information about the Low Self, and the next issue the Middle and then later the Higher Self. This may bring understanding of the difficulty we have all lived with from a recalcitrant and childish subconscious running our lives from hidden past lives or childhood issues. One of the reasons I have been so excited about EFT is that it directly taps into the subconscious and clears it. Trying to do that from the conscious mind (Middle Self) is not at all easy as many people have found. Yes positive affirmations work for many people, but only if the subconscious is clear on that issue. If it holds guilt or shame or other beliefs, then nothing changes.

From Pele's Wish p. 33 " The Lower Self is called the "Unihipili".. ..

1. It is like a computer in that it simply follows orders.
2. It is comparable to a servant.
3. It maintains the integrity of the body and oversees its operation.
4. It can remember but has only elementary reasoning power..somewhat comparable to the reasoning capacity of an animal.
5. It accepts and responds to suggestions.
6. Also called the "Basic Self", it is the mind that never sleeps.
7. Its consciousness is like that of a child.
8. Because it follows orders, it is important to develop a loving relationship with it, according to Serge King (1983).
9. It must be freed of all complexes of guilt or sin so that it will do its part happily whenever it is asked to send our prayers.
10. It must be told by the Middle Self that it is forgiven, cleansed and greatly loved. Only when freed in this way can it express love. Where there is no love, there is no energy to make prayer work. It will be ineffective.
11. Communication and contact with the Higher Self is impossible when the Lower Self is in opposition to the Middle Self
12. Alone, it has no capacity for discernment and no discretion. For that reason, it requires guidance, love, caring and concern. Explain to your Unihipili that this new system is preferable to others already programmed, such as old rituals and ceremonies and especially those based in religion.
