Three selves

The Huna people of Hawaii see each individual as comprising three selves. [Unihipili]

, the low self, is equivalent to the subconscious and functions through the action of [mana]

, the life force, in building the physical body. [Uhane]

, the middle self, is equivalent to the conscious level, and functions through [mana-mana]

, which could be termed creative willpower and which appears as thought and emotion. [Aumakua]

, the high self or superconscious, functions through [mana-loa]

which not only can be controlled for miraculous healing but is also the power of compassion.
