The idea that belief is counterproductive to awareness is completely obvious, but very hard for most people to get because from an early age, people are programmed not to think that way.
It is a well-established principle of psychology that we see what we expect to see. If we expect to see "goodness" in something, we will see it no matter how evil it may be. A prime example are those who supported slavery prior to America's civil war or those who supported Hitler's death camps for Jews in Nazi Germany.
On the other hand if we expect to see "evil" in something we will see that as well - no matter how beautiful it may be.
The prime example here are the number of Real priests like Jesus who have been tortured and killed for delivering the message that we are ALL A PART OF GOD, and therefore, Divine.
What separates Ho'ala Huna from many other spiritual paths is that it is not a belief-based faith. Instead, Ho'ala Huna is a postulate-based system of wisdom that requires no belief.
