Ano 'Ano: The Seed has become a classic in Hawai'i and around the world. It tells of a group of seekers who are offered a "code of life": a way in which the suffering of mankind can be overcome. It's two sequels, The Mana Keepers and The Fire Lily are included in this volume. These collective works remind men and women of their oneness with nature and that they are "the Keepers of the Sacred Earth." Conflicting fires within us all are revealed, shadow-selves and ancient patterns are examined and understood, finally leading to the dawn of inner peace.
Made me feel so relaxed & at ease. I can tell this will be something I revisit. My favorite passage:
“It is then that you will hear a voice within yourself. It was there all the time, but you never listened before. Faintly it will speak to you at first, but it will gradually grow louder and clearer the more you take heed of its message until one day it thunders inside you and you will have come home.”
This is just pulchritudinous. In every way. The format of the book made it easy for me to read quickly. I was touched by her words and the relatability caused me to feel emotions that came up genuinely. Beautiful art. I loved it I even read it twice.
