The name of this blog is actually a brand new word. If you do a search for haumanadao, ALL of the results will be related to me. For Haumana Dao the results are same when these two words appear together. This is a conjunction of two actual words, Haumana and Dao. Dao is an alternate spelling to Tao. I am not sure but I believe the difference in spelling is “regional” because the two appear together much of the time when searching for the meaning. The most famous use of this word is in the title of a well known book called Tao Te Ching (or Dao De Jing ) written by Lao Tzu. Many assume that this is the author of this work but if you dig around a little bit you will find that this word means “old master” and that the real author of this work has been said to be Lao Dan who was supposedly the teacher of Confucius (source). The word “supposedly” being the most important as there is no definitive proof. Dao is normally translated as the Way but also ” “path,” or “route,” or sometimes more loosely as “doctrine” or “principle,” it is used philosophically to signify the fundamental or true nature of the world” (source). I have always personally viewed it as “The Way” and as a result it is how I’m using it here. The Hawaiian translation of Haumana on the other hand has absolutely nothing to do with how this word came to me. A Hawaiian dictionary basically translates it as “student”. My meaning of this word can come to this in more of an abstract way. Doing a search for “Haumana” you will not only find the student references but also it is the name of a Hawaiian cruise line, a road in Maui, and a bay in Hawaii but the cruise line and student are the most common. So how did this word “come” to me? The answer to that question starts with the name of a man, Max Freedom Long, and a series of books he wrote around what he called Huna or “The Secret Science”. Interestingly enough this is where I first heard the word “The Secret” long before the now famous book/movie and the phenomenon that followed because per Max’s books, Huna translates into “Secret” and Kahuna into “Keepers of the Secret”.
One of the most frequent questions I’m asked at Twitter is the meaning of my avatar. If you’re reading this blog and have no idea what that is, it’s the symbol on the right side of my blog header. Twitter’s 140 character limitation does not allow me to fully explain it. Even when I do it takes about 6 tweets to do so and even then it’s only just the bare basics. By explaining it here I can go into greater detail in what the base symbology is, what it means to me and how and why I designed this customized version. I have not officially studied any Eastern religion or philosophy. The following comes from a base understanding in conjunction with research, observation and meditation. Essentially it is a triple Yin-Yan. Alternate versions are Ying-Yang, Yin-Yang, and less frequently Ying-Yan. Personally I prefer the smallest version Yin-Yan as it is also the simplest. In numerology, the vowels represent the gender of the word so when you remove them from either Yin-Yan or Ying-Yang you cannot tell which word is being referred to (Yn or Yng). The other versions do not contain this distinction and for me lose the purity of the basic symbology of this ancient Oriental symbol. When the “i” is added to these letters it becomes feminine and when the “a” is added it becomes masculine. Hence this word and its ensuing symbology represent the ultimate dualities of the feminine and masculine principles. This represents the concept of duality so let’s explore that for a moment. Duality in and of itself appears to be a widely used term. Wikipedia says that Duality may refer to philosophy, logic, psychology, mathematics, science, film, music, and electronics . This implies to me that such broad use would indicate it is foundational so let’s explore its definition.
