SSBM and Freedom

GOOD NEWS

It was recently arranged to bring out a reprint of SSBM, which I announced was on the verge of being out of print and which is out at this writing. The reprint will probably be ready at some time in January. New friend and HRA, Gordon Collier, son of the late Robert Collier, of book-selling fame, has leased the plates of SSBM and will have the new edition done, I am told, under his own imprint. He will soon begin a mail-selling campaign, offering SSBM with a gift book on the Great Pyramid by Worth Smith, the two packed together and sold at the price of $3.89 post paid. The address for those wishing to order this combination is, Robert Collier Publications, 72 Orchard St., Tarrytown, N. Y.  So far as I know,  it will be impossible to get SSBM separately. Under the plate lease contract, Mr. Collier is not allowed to sell at a discount to the book dealers. No word has been received as to whether or not the original publisher, Kosmon Press, 2208 West 11th St., Los Angeles 6, Calif., plans to continue selling SSBM at the old $3 postpaid price with the give-away book on Sleep Suggestion, or whether the book will be sold alone at the regular retail price of $4 – best to inquire as to the new price before ordering or to send $4 with the order. Books selling mainly through mail-ads are not handled as are the books published to be sold through dealers or book clubs it must be remembered. Please do not send to me for SSBM until I find out more about the situation and whether I can again arrange to supply autographed copies with the addition of Cigbo’s “Birthday present” set of eight full page photo illustrations to “tack” in as one finds time and glue for the purpose. This GOOD NEWS is most pleasing to me as it keeps SSBM in print and even spreads the word of the existence of Huna to more and more people. Read more

Discussion of Good & Bad Spirits

December 1, 1952

 

GOOD SPIRITS AND BAD need to be understood for what they are and what they do. “Birds of a feather flock together,” applies in the matter of evil spirits bent on feeding on the mana of the living and influencing them to evil, also to the good spirits who, while also helping themselves to the mana, exert what they consider to be a good and helpful influence. It is evident that we change little when we die because we take with us our full set of memories, complexes and attitudes, to say nothing of our hates, loves, hopes and fears. If, when we die and continue life in the aka bodies, we still hanker for the things of earth, we will stay on the earth level and fasten ourselves to the living who may be in a position to experience the earthly emotions and sensations which we still crave. We become what na kahuna called “eating companions.” On the other hand, if we have come to see that the better things in life are of the Auhane (or Aumakua), we will no longer try to share the animal actions and satisfactions and sufferings of the living na Aunihipili, but will strive to help the living – either that or let the living take care of themselves while we enter into the new kind of life on the other side of things.
