- "I read this book from
cover to cover and it is excellent. I would recommend it to anyone
interested in metaphysical and psychological interests. If you
are just going to sit around sipping on drinks with umbrellas
in them while you watch lifeguards or thongs going by on your
next trip to Hawaii you probably will want to pass. But if you
want to be drawn into the mysteries of paradise then you will
want to read this book. Even if you are not going to Hawaii,
this book is an excellent study of spirituality. I am super critical
and I think it is worth a read. In fact I am planning on reading
it a second time. Pila is a friend of mine and a fellow Truth
student who studied under the same Fourth Way Master who lived
in Hawaii. Despite this I paid for my copy of this book and it
was worth every dime. It will be worth it to you too. In fact,
if you are one of my students, consider it required reading.
Aloha nui loa." ~ Dr. Derek Lamar
Amazon.com Interview:
- How did you begin writing? Did you
intend to become an author, or do you have a specific reason
or reasons for writing each book?
- P.C.(Pila of Hawaii aka Pila Chiles):
I am a Vietnam survivor of an experimental Marine combat unit
who had a vision in heavy combat. I am also dyslexic and only
recently learned to read properly. Writing has never been easy
for me but this book and 2 others had to be written. I have had
incredible "soul" response from people worldwide who
have been touched by my book. Hopefully, with your exquisite
Website it will reach more. (My thanks to Gunthy Ranker Corp.
for highly recommending you.) Amazon.com: What authors do you
like to read? What book or books have had a strong influence
on you or your writing?
- P.C.: Since the recent conquering of
my reading disability, I have become an avid reader, starting
with all of Stephen King's works, then Vonnegut and now I am
working my way into the classics of Steinbeck and Hemingway.
Amazon.com: Could you describe the mundane details of writing:
How many hours a day do you devote to writing? Do you write a
draft on paper or at a keyboard (typewriter or computer)? Do
you have a favorite location or time of day (or night) for writing?
What do you do to avoid--or seek!--distractions?
- P.C.: Although writing, still for me,
is at times like Van Gough wrestling with his ear, I find my
most creative time is early morning, usually around 4 a.m. Initially,
although my soul was burning with a desire to become a writer,
I did not believe I had what it took. Because of my learning
disability I was also a college dropout. Then, in my travels,
a writer of travel guides gave me my slogan to live by. He said
that the definition of a writer is not someone who is necessarily
learned or one who has completely devoted his life to it. He
said the full definition of a writer is "one who writes
a little every day". I have never forgotten that and, after
writing a little each day, bingo! I now am a published author
with 2 more manuscripts. Also, as you may have noticed, it helps
to be a little long winded!
- Amazon.com: Do you meet your readers
at book signings, conventions, or similar events? Do you interact
with your readers electronically through e-mail or other online
forums?
- P.C.: Yes.
- Amazon.com: When and how did you get
started on the Net? Do you read any newsgroups such as rec.arts.books
and rec.arts.sf.written, mailing lists, or other on-line forums?
Do you use the Net for research--or is it just another time sink?
Are you able to communicate with other writers or people you
work with over the Net?
- P.C.: I first "body-boarded"
the net as a reluctant dinosaur sometime last year. Now, with
water wings and a snorkel I am researching my books, building
my third Website to advertise my new health beverage company
(http://idt.net/~kombuch1/ ..thanks for asking!) and prospecting
a health resort in Hawaii (the subject of my book and my vision
from Vietnam). I believe the Internet to be the neurological
network that will transform the planet. It is possibly the truth
behind Biblical Prophecy and "the Rapture". Far out,
huh? (No, I don't drop acid!)

Customer Reviews of Book
"The Secrets and Mysteries of Hawaii" is a wonderful
journey for the mind and spirit. It gives not only the Aloha
flavor, but touches the soul. If you want to visit Hawaii, this
little book is a MUST! ~ M.L.M. Stillwater, OK
Reviewer: A reader from New York, NY USA This book came into
my life as a most timely coincidence. Now I know why I have been
drawn to Hawaii for so long. Everyone who has ever had an inkling
to visit the islands of paradise should read this wonderful book
beforehand. Searching for answers? This is more than just a great
vacation. C. M.

- "Secrets & Mysteries of Hawaii" leaped off the shelf into my hands. Once I started to read it I found I couldn't put it down. The book is a "guide" book to the many worlds--both inner and outer--of Big Island, whereby Chiles explores his vision of Hawaii as spiritual metaphor for our contemporary times. Hawaiian culture, language, myth, gods, people and sacred places are brought to life by Chiles' vivid narrative and autobiographical perspective. It reads like an adventure story, is a veritable Hawaiian "bouillabaisse", often wild and woolly stuff --complete with material on UFO's and angels. I had the feeling I was being given 'the inside story'-- told with humor, knowledge and self revelation as Chiles shares the continuing odyssey of his love and experience of Hawaii. I found myself very moved by passages in this unusual book, written with what I do believe is true 'aloha spirit'. Aspects of Hawaiian history are underscored by Chiles' passion for and commitment to the recent renaissance of Hawaiian culture and the growing Sovereignty movement. ~ Reader in N.Y.
This is a book to savor and let the information and feeling of
real aloha sink in. After living in Hawaii for seven years this
is the first book I've come across that catches the the magical,
mystical essence of Hawaii accurately, and in true island style
- with a balance of respect and humor. Pila has his information
down through study, homage to his teachers and direct experience.
This is a book about much more than Hawaii for those that have
eyes to see and perception to perceive beyond the words. Pila
brings the hidden stories of creation - ancient Hawaiian style
- out for us to experience. Reader in Kirkland, WA

- I bought this book months
ago when I was researching HUNA. This book did not aid me that
much on my spiritual path but I enjoyed this book very much.
~ T.B., Tennessee
This book touches a very special place in you. It fills a void, not only for the vacationer and the person who dreams of paradise, but the spiritual seeker. Whether you are traveling to the islands, have been there or are searching for the mystical, this book is for you. The inferences to the paranormal and the wisdom of the ancient Hawaiians pose incredible questions for science, at this, our defining moment in all history. ~ Dr. L.E.B., New York
In his beautiful narrative, author Pila Chiles, gifted seer and healer, speaks honestly to the hearts of all those in search of Truth and Light. The magical island of Hawaii serves as the enchanting backdrop of this important spiritual work, but the message belongs to every human soul who has ever craved True Contentment. This book should be included on the top ten list of spiritually important books for the new millennium. ~ L.W., New York
- I purchased this book a few
weeks before I traveled to Hawaii, in 1997, and I felt as if
reading it, prepared me for the energies and gifts of Hawaii.
I knew when I arrived that I had arrived HOME, and I referred
to the book, while I was there, for inspiration ,and confirmation.
It is well written, and I recommend it highly, especially if
you are planning a trip to any of the Hawaiian islands. I am
returning there this summer, and am so glad I have it on my bookshelf
to read once more. I know it will once again speak to my soul,
just as Hawaii does. Aloha ~ C. B., Connecticut
- "The Secrets and Mysteries
of Hawaii by Pila of Hawaii I wish everybody would be able to
read and do the chants Pila presents in his book. They have certainly
changed my life, and They will do the same for anyone who use
them. I only wish I was able to get hold a recording of them,
since I believe they will be even more powerful with the right
music or tones. ~ Reader in Stockholm, Sweden
