The wisdom of Mu is alive, carried in our bodies and passed through generations, waiting to be remembered.   In this second part of their conversation, Ke’oni Hanalei shares the purpose and origin of his work with host Abby Starr, revealing the depth of Mu culture and its connection to human consciousness. He explains how knowledge was preserved without written language, why the spinal cord holds ancestral memory, and how this wisdom offers more than history—it offers a way of being.    Can detaching from possession truly bring greater peace? Could gold stabilize our energy in ways we don’t realize? Ke’oni’s journey from Western education to ancestral custodian challenges how we define leadership, happiness, and contentment, leaving listeners with a beautiful perspective on integrating ancient wisdom into daily life.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Introduction  00:57 Writing a Book on Mu Culture 02:18 The Ancient Mu Language and Genealogy 03:15 Spinal Cord as an Archive 04:29 Genealogical Chants in Hawaiian Culture 06:11 Belief in Afterlife and Non-Possession 08:22 Resolving War Culture through Non-Possession 09:54 Significance of Gold as a Superconductor 11:04 Transition from Teaching to Wellness 13:28 Education and Personal Journey 16:27 Finding Natural Happiness 18:21 Sustainability and Contentment 20:01 Closing 21:02 Quickfire Questions   Links Connect with Ke’oni Hanalei: Website: https://www.pohala.net/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pohala_hawaiian_botanicals/   Source & Self: Website: https://source-self.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sourceandself Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sourceandself TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sourceandselfboxes Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
