"Kala Laie" for convenience literally translated "Sorry- Excuse me"; let's see its deeper meanings. First of all, the term could be translated into: "Sorry", in the sense:" Do you really mean that? Or:” with this meaning! (that of the term Kala)”. Let's immerse ourselves in the meanings of the Kala, the second principle of the Huma. In this ancient Hawaiian philosophy, Kala is its second principle. (trivially explained with: "there are no limits, everything is possible").

The Huna rests on seven pillars, namely: IKE: the world is as you think it is; KALA: there are no limits, everything is possible; MAKIA: energy goes where attention is directed; MANAWA: now is the moment of power; ALOHA: to love is to be happy with/together; MANA: all power comes from within; PONO: Effectiveness is the measure of truth.
