Huna Bulletin 123

Answers to Prayers & Is God Perfect?

August 1, 1957

HRA Edw. O. of San Francisco writes telling of an interesting use of the Huna prayer method: “I left home in 1929, and was home once in 1939, this being the last time I had seen my father in 17 years. About four months ago I began a series of Huna-type prayers in an effort to get to see my father again. He is now 73. I left it up to the Aumakua as to how this should be brought about.

“Last Sunday my father came to the house and rang the bell. I had absolutely no knowledge that he was coming to visit me. He said the trip was planned some three or four months earlier, but that he did not write because he wanted his arrival to be a complete surprise. While I have no doubt that a prayer of this type would have been answered under many other explanations, the Huna-type prayer is the most logical of them all to me. The one thing that I can’t understand is the claim that increased breathing is needed. While I know that it will increase the perception (for some HRAs who report in the Bulletin) I, myself, have never practiced breathing in any special way, and my contact with the Aumakua is easily made. Also, I can’t seem to find any suggestion that Jesus used or advocated these exercises.” Read more
