My brother moved to Hawaii in 2001. He tells many stories of people and friends who moved there, including his own ventures. He says that Pelé has a way of initiating newcomers through a deeply intense spiritual transformation process. Most don't last. He said of all his friends who moved there, only one actually stayed, most left within months, all lasted less than a year. He also says that going through that initiation was the greatest spiritual process of his life, and he wouldn't trade it for anything.
