Rocky n' I 'looked into' Ho'oponopono a few years back, and as we've grown spiritually it makes SO much more sense now than it did then. I'm glad you posted about it :)
'Tis our opinion, the biggest "sin" against humankind from the Powers That Be (that have indeed, been enacting their plans for centuries) is that the majority of all Belief Systems somehow have imbedded in their tenets (and hence, our 'being-ness') that we are somehow separate from "God" (or "God" somehow separated from us). And this "lie of the Powers That Be" is what is truly at the root of all the problems on this planet.
If we all k-n-e-w KNEW that the spirit/energy that animates our being is TRULY "God" and that we SHOULD utilize that powers for right-use-ness sakes (righteousness :) then the 'Powers That Be' wouldn't stand a chance!
