Brad Kornegay
Brad Kornegay serves as founder and primary guide of Numen Lumen. His work draws from a 28-generation unbroken Hawaiian Hoʻomana lineage, rooted in practices of wisdom and spiritual precision passed through direct transmission.
Alongside the lineage work, Brad is a practicing psychotherapist and addictions specialist, with a clinical focus on the treatment of psychological trauma. The two streams — clinical and traditional — inform each other in everything he teaches.
His approach integrates rigorous training in Neurolinguistic Programming, mental-emotional clearing, hypnotic linguistics, and organizational dynamics. Years in executive coaching and clinical practice have shaped a methodology that honors both the depth of traditional Hawaiian practice and the practical needs of those seeking genuine transformation.
At Numen Lumen, the intent is clear: to offer teaching that meets people where they are, without pretense or excessive persuasion. The work proceeds quietly, with the understanding that real change requires both knowledge and integration over time.
The Hoʻomana Lineage
A 28-generation transmission of Hawaiian wisdom and spiritual practice, maintained through direct teaching and lived example.
The teachings carried at Numen Lumen come through the Bray–James lineage — a 28-generation Hawaiian tradition carefully guarded through suppression and entrusted forward to those who would carry it. This is a direct transmission of energy work, healing, and spiritual development, not a modernized repackaging.
Brad was trained directly in this lineage under Tad and Matt James, with significant influences from Uncle George Na'ope, John Kaimikaua, Morrnah Simeona, and Tano Sands. The work continues here, in the same form it has been transmitted: in person, in practice, and at the pace the tradition requires.
