Hawai'i 2024 Vision

---

We, who are blessed to live in these Sacred Hawaiian Islands are dedicated to helping preserve nature, the sacred Aina, our host Hawai’ian culture and its essence, The Spirit of Aloha. 

We are a living evolving culture. As with most traditional cultures, ancient Hawaiian nutrition was over 90 percent plant-based and they were very fit and healthy. We embrace this aspect of our heritage and are expanding upon it to become a thriving plant-based society. By doing so, we are enhancing our health and the health of the Aina. We are also extending our Spirit of Aloha to the birds, fish and animals — through our food choices.

We are a Culture committed to Living in The Spirit of Aloha which means an alignment with nature and its 12 Organizing Principles: 

Ha’aha’a- Humility

Ahonui – Gratitude

Ihi – Respect

Laulima – Cooperation

Ma’alahi – Simplicity 

Pono – Honesty 

Hauoli – Happiness 

Aloha – Love 

Kuleana -Responsibility 

Noa – Freedom 

Maluhia – Peace 

Lokahi – Unity

As a culture, we celebrate one of these principles each month, starting with January, which is dedicated to understanding the wisdom of: Ha’aha’a- Humility. This quality is discussed in the media and in schools and religious groups for the month. And so forth for each month throughout the year. Thus we renew and deepen our connection to The Spirit of Aloha.

As an Island Chain, we are a Well Being Capitol. Hawai’i is like the Pineal Gland of the Earth body. What we do here is copied all over the world. We will soon be the first modern culture in the world to attain sustainable carbon neutral energy independence. Virtually, all of our energy, will be generated by Geothermal Electric Plants on the Big Island. Most of our liquid fuels will be made through bio- technology on the Big Island. We will export much more food and clean energy than we import. Most of our vehicles and machines will be electric. 

On Earth, there is one source of energy that is renewable, reliable, sustainable, and virtually inexhaustible and that source is the heat in the core of the earth. This is in fact the most valuable fuel on planet earth. The Big Island is one of the world’s most stable access points to the earth’s inner core. We have the Access for the easiest, safest and most stable tapping of thermal energy. With thermal energy, water is heated into steam. The steam drives turbine electric generators with one plant for each island. An undersea cable conducts the current to each island. If one plant has mechanical difficulty, all the plants can hook into a common grid for mutual support when needed. 

The cost of our electricity is less than 10 cents/ kilowatt, which is 25% of what we are now paying with 83% Oil fueled generating plants. These Geothermal Electric plants could be a stable renewable source of energy for hundreds of thousands of years, with minimal harm to nature. Because of Geothermal Energy, it is very affordable and ecological to desalinate water. In this way the dry sides of the island becomes beautiful fruit orchards and Bird Sanctuaries.

The people of the Hawaiian Islands recognize their duty to the Birds who were the inhabitants of these islands for millions of years before man first arrived. These birds, and the many plant species that are indigenous to Hawai’i, are honored by providing them with habitats and vast nature refuges within the State. Vast areas have become nature sanctuaries that are well-maintained and available and open to well managed eco tourism. 

Hawaiian Culture and language are thriving and many other languages are adopting its terms, such as Aloha, Mahalo, Aina, Pono, Kahuna as well as the Hawaiian names for the 12 Principles of Nature. In many ways the Spirit of Aloha is spreading around the world and Hawaii is its Beacon. The Aloha Law that is Hawaii’s gift to the world is ratified in The United Nations and in most countries of the world, and has become the inspiration for a Global Renaissance of living in The Spirit of Aloha.

Every year more land is purchased to become Nature sanctuaries that are maintained as orchards and bird sanctuaries. The Native Birds and Plants are thriving and Hawaii is fulfilling its mission of sharing with the world, a civilization that lives in harmony with the Aina.

Working with kindred organizations, The Gardens are assisting in Maui’s shift towards 20% Plant Based Nutrition by 2020. The Gardens’ team is focusing their mission to preserve for this and future generations The Spirit of Aloha Botanical Gardens in the Oceanfront Valley of the Keali’I Stream on Maui’s north shore.  We are restoring the historic Taro Lo’i , and promoting Hawaiian plant based horticulture and nutrition. We are dedicated to being a model of how a small group can work together to accomplish beautiful and brilliant results. Our vision includes doing our part in averting climate change and the health care crises. Hawaiian Schools and students are participating in the stewardship of The Garden’s Historic Taro Lo’i. The Gardens goal is to be food and energy independent, as well as being financially sustainable by providing services that fulfill its mission. The Gardens entire 11 acre valley is maintained organically, with no pesticides herbicides or poisons used.

The Gardens host programs that promote Hawaiian Plant Based Horticulture and Nutrition. These programs also share tools for living in The Spirit of Aloha by aligning with Natures Organizing Principles. Delicious meals include homegrown organic ingredient for: taro burgers, breadfuit French fries, vegetable and fruit salads, and homegrown coconut/banana/pineapple ice cream. Some of The Gardens programs are digitally recorded for sharing on Public Television Networks, and on their educational website: www.TheGardens.org

The Gardens are stewarded by a volunteer team of Nature Guardians. Nature Guardians choose to dedicate their lives to preserving Nature and the biodiversity of its ecosystems. They see God as Nature and their service to Nature as worship. This gives them deep experience that inspires their hard work.

Nature Guardians choose to live simply and close to Nature. They choose Plant based Nutrition. Nature Guardians choose a life of nonviolence and service. Their goal is to leave Planet Earth in better condition than when they found it. 

Regularly practiced are nature-based arts such as Meditation, Yoga, Tai Chi, Chi Gong, and Hula. These are integrated into their service through mindful living. Nature Guardians generally embrace a lifestyle that is joyously free of: Dairy, eggs, fish, poultry, meat, tobacco, alcohol, and harmful drugs.

Nature Guardians are dedicated to preserving balance in Nature. As such they are concerned with the consequences of overpopulation and climate change. Often, Nature Guardians choose to dedicate themselves to a nature mission rather than choosing to bring forth their own children.

Nature Guardians derive inspiration from the accomplishments of varied traditions such as: 

•  The Hawaiian Tradition of The Spriit of Aloha in its full spectrum,
  as expressed in the wisdom of Kumu Serge Kahili King.
  • The Hindu Missions of The Holy Sannyas Order, the world’s most ancient Monastic Tradition. These Sannyasis dedicate their lives to the service of humanity, as in the ecumenical missions of Swami Vivekananda, Swami Sivananda and Swami Satchidananda.
  • The Jewish Missions of the Essenes.
  • The Christian missions of Saint Francis, Saint Damian, Saint Teresa, Thomas Mertin and the Shaker Communities.
  • The Islamic Missions of the Sufis.
  • The Buddhist Missions of The Dalai Lama and the Tibetan Monasteries.
  • The missions of many who lived dedicated lives outside of any order such as the non violent wisdom leaders Mahatma Gandhi, Rev. Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela, women’s rights leader, Susan B. Anthony and many more whose service for human, animal & ecological rights are an inspiration of the Nature Guardians.
