Reflections of Hope Episode 22: Mauna Kea-A message for the Lahui | Taj Pacleb

- Mauna Kea is the highest mountain in the world from the ocean floor. It is the peak and pinnacle of Hawaii. When the fierce and strong hurricane clashes with this mauna, the mauna remains ‘onipa’a (steadfast). The mauna overcomes the storm! In the same way, today the people of Hawaii are facing a terrible storm of oppression and injustice. This is a storm that has brought a fierce drug epidemic, crime, violence, homelessness, poverty, disease, pollution, brokenness, and desecration in our beloved land. The little of our island home that remains is slipping away. Our hearts are so heavy as we have seen our ‘aina trampled upon by greed, lust, and vanity. We have seen the aloha spirit commercialized for profit by those who know not what it is. But though our hearts are sore, like Mauna Kea, we must RISE above it. We must go higher in our thinking, our actions, and our reactions. This is the call of kapu aloha. But where is the source of this mana (power)? And what will be the outcome of this conflict? Listen, pause, reflect, internalize, and share with others the sacred life lessons from standing here on Mauna Kea.

Strong mesage ptr Taj!!!! SUper pawer GOd bless,, you are inspiration for me to do the ministry... Praying always
Much aloha brother; Watching your videos has reminded how far I’ve strayed from God and how much He wants to be my Father, Friend, Husband and God again in my life. Aloha always 🤍✨
Come to Jesus sis! He's waiting for you!
Thanks for showing the love of Jesus Christ even in our Hawiian language. Hope you can come to Trinidad and Tobago and to minister to the young people inside and outside of our church. Aloha and Maranatha
Amen....so blessed with the message....thank you...Praise God fot this...
Amen...powerful
Mahalo Kahu Pacleb.
Praise the Lord! Glad you were blessed!
Amen ❤️
Kahu Pacleb you know the right way. It seems the church you belong to does not. We all worship the one AKUA
the sole creator.All created beings have the same Creator. The name may be different but is One and Only the
same. Reading the criticism of your own church leaves me troubled. Do they not know that there is only one
that is the creator of all? Set them on the right pathway. Your ministry is divinely inspired obviously.
Aloha "Eye of the Hawk"! Thanks for your encouragement. I can assure you that the criticisms you read about do not reflect most people in my church. It is only the opinion of a relative few who seem to misunderstand the gospel of grace. This shouldn't surprise us because the church is not a rest home for saints, but rather a hospital for sinners. When we do God's will, we can always expect opposition both from within and without the church.
Amen❤️⛰

Don’t lose your way, Taj. I don’t think we are to become involved with any temporal political issues. We are to trust the Lord and stay committed to the eternal issues of salvation - not the temporal issue of man. This is not the first ‘worry’ sign I’ve seen from your ministry. Be so careful who you associate with and give your allegiance to. Our Creator must have our total allegiance. The odds of us having any positive influence in this demonically controlled & temporal world is nil. God is in control, but must allow Satan to show how evil he really is via the last remaining chess moves he makes. He will be completely unveiled (motives no longer hidden) for the entire universe to see. There will be no justice on this earth for those that are bound for the highest summit, which is citizenship in the eternal Kingdom of God. This world is run by Satan thru elitist occultist bloodlines who are controlled by the system that Satan gave his authority and power to - Papal Rome. It is sicker and more vile that’s any of us can imagine, but the universe will see it clearly. We are veiled from seeing all of the hidden wickedness, but the universe is not. They see all of the hidden things that Satan is up to in the spiritual dimension which we cannot see.
Wow , good stuff brother !
Hello "The Way". I'm hoping that you will take the time to respond to my last comment either publicly or privately. I'm still waiting. Aloha!
Tallest not highest
I HEARD HIM SAY TALLEST
Eloquent piece of propaganda here.
Very curious to know which part of the video you though was propaganda and not facts.
@@alohaexposure No problem..
1.) You're only telling one side of the story. There are many good reasons to build the TMT on Mauna Kea. The community benefits package, lease rent that goes to OHA and Mauna Kea Support Services, the mitigation efforts that will require more land be restored than what will be developed.
2.) Lumping this project in with past oppression when it's not even close to that.
3.) Implying that those who want this project are corrupted by greed and are willing to oppress people as they have historically been oppressed to get this done. By doing this you are are assigning collective guilt at the level of the individual.
4.) You mention the mauna being sacred as a reason why this shouldn't happen on Mauna Kea and saying those of us who do want to desecrate the aina. Except history contradicts you on this. Ancient Hawaiians established and maintained the largest primitive rock quarry in the world at the 12,000 ft level of Mauna Kea which was responsible for excavating tons of rock out of the Mauna until western contact. Were ancient Hawaiians guilty of desecration for this? No, they used the mauna as a resource for the collective good of the people. Just like the TMT will.
5.) Since the 1960s Hawaiian culture has made a significant comeback. Proliferation of the language, DHHL, Kamehameha Schools, and OHA are evidence of that. Your claims of oppression are at least a mild exaggeration of the reality.
For all the reasons I explained above you have settled for and oversimplified low resolution view of this issue and are using historical ignorance and philosophical slight of hand to try and push us into a future most of us don't want.
And that analysis is only from the first 2:30 of your video.
@@Champstarrable Aloha! Mahalo for taking the time to share. I appreciate you're five points! Please notice that nowhere in this video did I mentioned TMT. There are enough people debating on both sides of the issue of the telescope. Because of that, my burden was not to add to that specific debate. When creating this video, I did my best to try to be as non-political as possible and not to assign blame to anyone. When describing the oppression of the people of Hawaii, I did not point to a specific thing or person as the cause. I simply pointed out the fact that the people of Hawai'i are hurting due various reasons. Reasons that are far bigger than anything happening on Mauna Kea. Real issues like drugs, sickness, homelessness, pollution, cultural appropriation, stolen lands, etc. It was this hurt I was seeking to address. Not the issue of whether or not TMT should be built. This video was not a message to rebuke or assign blame to an "oppressor". But simply to minister to those who FEEL oppressed on both sides. The goal of this video was to help people on BOTH SIDES of the issue to look higher than the physical land and look further than the temporal political issues that we deal with. It is a call to recognize the greater reality of the eternal kingdom of Akua and His Son Iesu; A reminder that this temporal world is not our permanent home; An encouragement me to acknowledge, just like many of the kupuna and kings and queens of Hawai'i did, that despite the difficulties of this world of sin that we live in, Akua has a pure permanent paradise that is waiting for us. This was the main emphasis of the video. Perhaps I fell short of communicating that clearly. But I did my best. And if there is a perceived "oversimplification" than perhaps it's because there only so much you can say in a 10-minute video. I would encourage you to listen to it again carefully. To listen not only with your ears but also with your heart. Much love and aloha Adventuresome Braddah!
@Adventuresome Braddah Also, I would love to hear your analysis of the main points of the video beyond the first 2 minutes that you commented upon. The main message is found in the last 8 minutes, not the first 2. Aloha!
@@alohaexposure In the first 2:30 you setup the balance of the video with the distortions I already mentioned. In the remaining 8 minutes you drive home the message that this is the way god (Akua) wants it. Implying that god doesn't want the TMT built on Mauna Kea for the reasons you open the video with and you interpret biblical scripture to support this claim. You are only able to do this because you're misrepresenting the motives of the TIO and it's supporters. That's an example of philosophical slight of hand. I just wish you, other local leaders and celebrities would make a video or dialogue with supporters of the TMT directly. PUEO would be a good place start as they are a native Hawaiian group that supports the project and based on Big Island. If you do then you may find that greed and corruption aren't driving support for the TMT which is what you presume in your video.
