HUNA LIFE TRAINING & CLEARING CALL – 4/12/2009

Q/A between Manawanui and Rev. Jaymes V. Alexander, HLP.W. regarding the topic of this call …

Q: Jaymes, what is the single most asked question about HUNA other than what HUNA is?
A: What I hear repeatedly is, “I read all of Max Freedom Long’s books but I still don’t know how to do it.” Simply put, they have read his books and often many others and have no success in getting HUNA to work for them.

Q: What will participants get from the one-hour conference call?
A: I understand that most of the people who will be attending this training will have read Max or other books on HUNA which would have described the principles of the “Three Selves” and their relationship and energies. The purpose of this call will be to inform and clarify the Three Selves principles and to demystify them and then give specific techniques to overcome the most common difficulties:

1. How to heal oneself and others
2. How to pray effectively to get what is wanted for self and others (usually money or change in circumstance)
3. How to use Ho`oponopono to have the above two benefits

Further, what needs to be stated is that one, of if not the most, important purpose of learning HUNA is to be able to gain a more definite and certain communication with your Aunihipili and Aumakua. This is done by removing blocks that are within the individual. Much of this clearing can be accomplished quickly if the individual understands and knows how to use “Intentions.” I will be sharing how to do this in the training. We will also do this together. When you suggested this call I had to ask myself what can I communicate in an hour or less that would be of paramount value to the participant. Learning how to clear yourself and open your own personal gateway is the greatest gift of HUNA. What I will share in this call and do with the participants will go a long way to establishing that connection within them so that they will be able to continue work long after the call is over.

Manawani: Thanks

Teresa on Huna Clearing Call with Rev. Jaymes Alexander – 4/20/09

Huna is not a spectator sport! I have heard that said many times and yet sometimes you find yourself a spectator of you own life. Recently I was reminded by the clearing Jaymes Alexander gave in the huna call training.

I have had the privilege to see this man in action and just by listening to the call i felt the clearing take place. I backed this up with the relearning through the bulletins and realized that through a hurt from my own family that there was a hala hanging over me.

Now don’t get me wrong i love what Jaymes is all about but, and a big but here I have to take charge of my own clearing. Sometimes you need a little help from your friends and that is what happened. Thanks Jaymes

I am now back to a daily clearing, if no more. I feel my energy level increasing and check that with the use of my pendulum.

Huna is not a spectator sport!

EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION USING A PENDULUM – 4/29/2009

The the biggest question people have right now is how to communicate better with themselves. Additionally, we want people DO the work rather than talk about it. The goal of this call is:

* that you learn how to clear yourselves and to introduce yourself to yourself.
* to establish clear communication and to ask for and get assistance from your Aumakua.
* also to create a Mana reservoir for instant use in connection to create manifestation.

WHERE IS THE MAGIC? -  6/10 & 6/17/2009

According to Rev. Jaymes Alexander, there is little “magic” in Huna. In this call, we further explore the nature of the relationship of the 3-part self and how this awareness can help you get results. The content of this call will focus on “Why HUNA” and what it really means to practice HUNA, along with our sacred relationship of the three selves and ours to the Ke Akua or the Divine Force. How, by understanding these relationship, you can clear your communication paths which, as Manawanui says, creates “Get’er Done!”

CALLING INTO EXISTENCE THAT WHICH DID NOT EXIST BEFORE!- 9/27/2009
By Rev. Jaymes Alexander

I don’t know about you, but there is a lack of understanding about how to tie all the parts of HUNA together into a workable way of life. There is NO unity and here is where we, as HUNA people, need to learn how to embrace the HUNA way by learning how to call into existence that which did not exists before! This technique will not only assist you greatly in your practice but will reshape your life, assuming that is what you want, to not only be able to use your HUNA techniques but to also merge them into a way of living your life the HUNA WAY.

MP3 (Skip to 4:00 minutes for the start of the call.)

In HUNA LIFE CHURCH we selected October 26th as our Day of Remembrance primarily because it is the day that Max Freedom Long was born.

What is the Day of Remembrance? It is the day that we take out time to remember those that have made their transition before us. It is respect that we the living, pay to those that have gone before us. It is not necessarily about fallen heroes but rather about anyone and everyone that has made their transition. And for paying our respect to those that we were close to us. Giving thanks for their contributions to our lives.

There is another part of this day that we honor as well and that is being of service to the Ke Akua or Living Divine Force. It is on this day that we as a membership create our connection through our Aumakua to assist Poe Aumakua and the Ke Akua in calling those that are lost who have made their transitions but not into the Light.

How do we do this as followers of the HUNA Way?

In our remembrance of our loved ones we gather Mana and send to their Aumakua to be used as they so see fit. We do this by doing deep breathing and channeling the Mana to our Aunihipili and it will, in turn, send it to our Aumakua with our intentions. Our Aumakua knows what to do and will take that energy and direct it appropriately.

In our act of being of service to those in general who have made their transitions but have not joined the Light we create with our Aumakua the channel for them to join the Light. This is done by gathering Mana and sending it to our Aumakua with the intent of creating through our connection to the Ke Akua a gateway for these lost beings to join the Light. I first get permission from my Aumakua to do this. I do this by establishing the connection to my Aumakua through my Aunihipili, state my request to open this channel through it for this purpose. Once I have received this permission I visualize my Mana going to the Aunihipili and to the Aumakua and then I watch as the Aumakua establishes the communication to the Ke Akua and create the gateway. To me this has always appeared as a large column of Divine Light. It comes from above from where I know not but ends with me here or near me and I am the anchor here. I then do the Ha Rite or prayer by calling through the Column of Light to all beings that wish to join the Divine Light to enter the column. I am not in judgment but rather I am a facilitator of this action. Many times I have not watched to see what entered but I am aware that many beings do enter. I hold this column for about fifteen minutes or until I start getting tired and then I announce the closing and give thanks for those that have joined and state that I have hope for those that for whatever reasons were not able to join the Divine Light will do so in the future. With cooperation from my Aumakua we release the column.

It should be noted this action is not restricted to just the Day of Remembrance but we do it on this day as HUNA LIFE CHURCH members for sure. It is part of our duty to the Ke Akua as well as being a person of Light!

Aloha…
Malama…
Mahalo…

Vol. 1 / No. 2

REMEMBERING MAX FREEDOM LONG ~ October 26, 1890 – September 23, 1971

Our beloved Max has Graduated. Thursday at 11 P.M., September 23rd at his hilltop home in Vista, California. I shall tell the story as simply and factually as possible.

Considered by many to be the world’s greatest authority in the Polynesian religion, we HRAs will grieve because we knew him to be the greatest Kahuna of our era. He was always available, our teacher, guide, ‘secret friend’ and confidante. As a great philosopher, author and writer, he was never too busy to pray for us or to answer our long questions with a personal letter. We rejoice with him as he wings his way ever onward and upward.

He was ready and wanting to go. In a letter to me he said, “My face is clean. I have spent my life trying to introduce others to their High Selves. Don’t worry about me. You could worry if I were young and fighting to stay here, but now that I am old and so nicely finished up with my work and you have done such a wonderful job of making a home for my books and other treasures, I feel happy and contented. My thoughts have begun to turn to the Great Adventure and going across where I will have a new and good body of sorts. Tired and bothered by the leg as I am, it is going to be such a relief and deep pleasure.”

He actually lived his beliefs and teachings unlike so many who talk one way and live another. His gentleness, great patience and understanding tolerance made him a noble and unique man. These are the qualities needed to conquer the tedious challenges hurled each day at the basic researcher. He also applied, coordinated and printed his own research. Max is not gone. He is still here and always will be because the results of his great work is with us. The Talmud tells us that no monuments are erected for the righteous; their deeds perpetuate their memory. Our teacher was a “one of a kind” research scientist, information which helped man in a living way

Now, as a real schoolmaster to “the people,” his books are written as text books complete with exercises, questions and answers. He was always appealing to the greater majority rather than the small intellectual segment.

Someone has said that only one mind is needed to make a discovery … a skeptical, inquisitive mind … which sees the point which has been missed and brings Truth into the clear light of day. His was such a mind.

Our planet owes a great debt to him as he literally lived like a monk in a cell researching, writing and even sleeping in his study day after day and year after year. He called his work “digging” and unnoticed by the orthodox ‘great hierarchy,’ quietly and with dignity befitting wisdom, searched, researched and read comment upon comment as he unraveled the Huna code in all religions. How proud we should be for we are his chosen people, his faithful HRAs.

The late medium, Arthur Ford, once made this wise statement, “People live as if they lived to die, and not as if they lived to live again.”

Max lived to Graduate. This was his greatest and fondest desire. We can paraphrase his name and say, “He Longed for Maximum Freedom.” He considered so called death a triumphant surrender, surrendering the worn out body to triumphantly Graduate. Let us visualize him in a Circle of White Light protected and surrounded by the High Selves, the Great Company of Aumakuas who were so very real to him. He leaves a legacy of faith, strength, dedication, selflessness and inspiration for generations to come who will know him through his enduring works. Each life leaves an afterglow — Max’s leaves a Beacon Light.

His very stature and appearance commanded respect He was tall, six feet three. “Oversize” as he called himself and very handsome, quite British looking with his well trimmed mustache, dark head of hair and lively brown eyes. But always surrounded by an aura of gentle humor, great dignity and utter compassion — a gentleman and a scholar in every sense of the word. I never called him Max, for he was the same age as my father who passed away while I was in college, but always “Dr. Max,” doctor of my soul.

His modern views on many subjects are nothing new to us. You will remember he mentioned his beliefs concerning Euthanasia in the last bulletin which he wrote, and agreed wholeheartedly with Dr. Leslie Weatherhead on voluntary Euthanasia who said, “I have come to regard even suicide as justifiable in certain cases, and am glad that at last it is no longer a crime in England to take one’s own life. To do so might be selfish and cowardly. It might be committed in a temporary mood of depression and this would be wrong. But it might also be an act of courage and self-sacrifice.”

Max emphatically endorsed this philosophy and wrote, “Some fine day, people will come to their senses about forcing the very sick and old and sufferers to hang on and suffer it out when they could be so easily helped across into the bright world of Spirit. Our concept of a vindictive Jehovah is so bad and untrue with the judgment and Karmas and all those utterly useless things. If we have our faces clean well beforehand we can cross safely ahead of time.”

The greatly swollen left leg along with bladder complications left him miserable and suffering constantly. On March 13th, he took an overdose of sleeping pills, was found in time by his neighbor and taken to the hospital. Great thanks are due Dr. John Country who worked a miracle, treating the leg until it was back to normal size and operating on the prostate. The May 1st newsletter tells of his happy and interesting time in the hospital and Convalescent Center. Max said it was like a rebirth, having the many fine cards, calls and letters from his HRAs and with his sense of humor, said it was like reading his own obituary.

In between my numerous visits, Tom Langan took care of him for awhile. Heartfelt thanks goes to Alice Madden Dashiell, HRA and friend of many years. It was Alice whom Max had picked to come and care for him and tend to his business and books. With her already full business life and own home to run she still went every day taking the mail, keeping the books, even cooking many delicious meals. Thanks to Helen Bangs too, HRA from San Diego, who drove up several times each week even bringing a chiropractor to give him treatments.

He spent happy days in his home. Many of you heard from him. He was never free from pain but able to be out in the car even visiting Miss Doherty in the rest home. On July 31st he felt well enough to make the hour’s drive to Laguna Beach and give the closing prayer at the wedding of Alice and George Dashiell. The prayer was given in the Polynesian language with translations. The wedding guests felt the power of it as he paused, building the thought-form and giving it power ,seeing their happy life together and closing with the words, Light – Light – Light.

I have been an HRA for eighteen years, writing often to Max concerning my various projects in ESP but had never met him personally until the last of October in 1968. At that time I spent a busy ten days with a schedule arranged for me by Mr. & Mrs. Riley Crabb, director of Borderland Research Foundation, studying radionics with Dr. Leonard Chapman and visiting other notables in California and Mexico. Most of my time however was spent with Max and Ethel. Since then I have been many times staying in the nearby motel, helping with the meals, but dedicated to the task of getting all his work together and loose ends tied up.

We accomplished much together which I believe gave him great satisfaction.

1. Instead of writing letters to me,I asked that he do the story of his colorful life complete with pictures of family, relatives and friends.

2. He finished the children’s book, How Everything Was Made, complete with cunning illustrations.

3. He completed the Long Lecture Tapes and printed them.

4. He completed the Short Lecture Tapes and printed them.

5. He finished a new, unpublished paperback book, What Jesus Taught in Secret with illustrations

And last but not least,

6. He saw the new paperback by Award Books by the famous Brad Steiger, Secrets of Kahuna Magic selling on the news stands.

How delighted he was to see it in print. The new book arrived on the very day he went home from the Convalescent Center, June 26th. He had a double celebration happily sitting in his own big chair by the picture window in the living room reading Brad’s well done book. Here is his delighted letter to him.

June 28, 1971

Dear Brad:

The book came Saturday shortly after Dolly arrived, and we had come home from the Golden Age to my house, and as the head nurse phoned that a package from Iowa had come, we ran down delightedly to pick it up.

We got into it eagerly and I was so very pleased with the masterful job you had done in condensing and simplifying the very complicated subject of HUNA to make it easy to grasp and readable at the same time.

It seems to me that this little paperback will reach more people who are ready for Huna and arouse more interest than the subject has known in all these years. I am ordering a hundred copies from Award and will send them to select HRAs and local friends.

Dolly joins me in her best delighted praise and our congratulations to a job remarkably well done and most satisfactory in every way.

I am getting settled, thanks to Dolly, and she is restocking the larder, cooking me fabulous meals and helping me entertain the friends and HRAs who have already started to come to see me, now that I am out of the nursing home. Yesterday, being a Sunday, we had invited two good friends, and another 12 assorted friends and strangers dropped in. It was like “Old home week” and we enjoyed it all while I sat in my easy chair and pontificated in so far as Huna is concerned.

Thanks no end for the big help with the spreading of the good word of Huna, and for the inscribed copy for my own library. I value the book.

Our aloha,

Max and Dolly

Trio by a Titan

In the new December 1971 issue of Fate magazine, page 107 is the review of the book by David Techter which I quote:

I have remarked in the past on the volume of material produced by various popular writers in the psychic field. (In all seriousness, of course, this is an economic necessity if one hopes to make one’s living through writing.) Perhaps the most prolific of them all is Brad Steiger who also is my choice as the best of the popular authors. Happily, he is kind enough to keep me supplied with copies of his latest publications. This month there are three paperbacks, rather a lot even for Brad. Two of them display the boast (adopted from one of my columns) that he is “one of the titans of the psychic field.” While in general I find cover blurbs inversely related to the book’s true quality, the three volumes discussed here fully measure up to the billing.

The first, Minds Through Space and Time. The second, Haunted Lovers and the third titled, Long, Shortened.

The third paperback, Secrets of Kahuna Magic (Award Books, New York, N.Y., 1 971, 157 pages, 75c), is quite unlike the first two. For the unenlightened, a kahuna is an adept in Huna, the ancient religious system of the Hawaiian Islands, now almost forced into extinction by Christianity. Those who have heard of Huna will immediately associate it with Max Freedom Long and wonder where Steiger got his information. The answer is obvious: Brad has abridged the material from Long’s six books into a popular account.

One is kept in the dark as to who initiated this effort. Did Steiger feel Huna was being neglected and wish to present Long’s findings to a wider public? Or did Max Freedom Long himself, now elderly and in poor health, ask Steiger to do the popularization? Long’s books have been sporadically available and never aggressively publicized. None has appeared in paperback to my knowledge. Thus about 90 percent of the readers of this volume will be hearing of Huna for the first time from Steiger.

Brad stresses the do-it-yourself aspect and suggests that Huna magic can be employed by anyone. Whoever perpetrated the jacket blurbs has outdistanced my credulity with the claim that “the ancient rites of kahuna magic” will enable the reader to heal the sick, control the weather, raise the dead and develop a superior intellect. Steiger’s material makes no such extravagant claims and some copywriter at Award should have his knuckles rapped.

Actually, Brad presents a fairly straightforward account of Long’s findings. The most intriguing part of Huna is the theoretical material on the three spirits which make up a human being and how they operate. Huna’s high, middle and low selves will remind many of Freud’s superego, ego and id. But the analogy is inexact, for Huna seems to combine both id and super-ego in the lower self, while the Huna higher self seems more akin to Jung’s collective unconscious. There are similarities too, to the occult theories involving the various bodies of’ man and I only wish Brad had discussed this problem. The lower self, like the occult etheric double, possesses memory but lacks the ability to reason. The middle self, unlike the occult astral body, can reason but lacks memory. This inability to remember, it seems to me, presents insuperable difficulties in explaining various spiritualistic phenomena.

Unlike occultism, Huna does not require reincarnation except to state that a lower self eventually will progress to being the middle self of a later human personality. What happens to a progressing middle self is not made clear. Huna’s mechanisms for explaining psychic occurrences, on the other hand, seem quite consonant with occult theories and the facts of psychic research. Clearly, the Huna system deserves more attention than it has received and Steiger’s introductory paperback may considerably increase public awareness of kahuna lore.”

Aren’t we happy?! Happy for Brad as well as Max. I predict Huna will at last have the recognition it has long deserved and that we will be ready with our loved teacher’s work well in order.

Mr. Techter asks how the book came to be written. After my visit to California three years ago I stopped in Las Vegas to attend a seminar held by the late Paul Twitchell of astral traveling fame. Brad Steiger was one of the speakers. While having dinner with Brad and his lovely wife, Marilyn, I suggested he consider doing a book on Huna and Max Freedom Long. A set of books was sent to him and the new paperback is the happy result.

Brad has been asked to speak in Honolulu, February 2 thru 9, 1972 at the First Annual Aquarian Age International Conference on Kahuna Magic and Psi Phenomena. How Max would rejoice and laugh heartily since his work had little acceptance in Hawaii because of the missionaries there. We glory with you Brad as a crusader for Huna. Congratulations from all grateful HRAs.

Rest assured that all was done in our combined power during the summer months and until Max’s death to keep him as comfortable as possible. He took every vitamin and tonic sent by interested HRAs and was kept supplied with a special melon grown expressly for its potassium content by Alice Dashiell. We spent one day at the health farm of Dr. Bernard Jensen in Escondido receiving a diet of special foods and combinations.

Those who want further information may write to me. There were many happy days with letters to answer, friends visiting, one day driving over the countryside in George Dashiell’s fabulous Rolls Royce Bentley car. Another day we had dinner at the beautiful showplace home of Alice and George. George is a retired engineer who breeds Arabian race horses in Escondido.

But always there was the growing pain. Dr. Country had found cancer in the leg bone and another spot in the ribs. Max showed great patience. I left the middle of’ August after having found a full-time practical nurse. She did not work out, but was replaced by Mary Brennan who was excellent and was with him until the end. Mary said that though in pain he was always grateful and appreciative of’ the smallest kindness.

Instead of’ writing, I called every third day the last time being the morning of’ September 23rd. Mary was off for the day, returning for dinner, but the Dashiells came at noon with the mail to check on him and visit. Having prepared for bed with his usual routine, Mary heard him up a little before 11 P.M. She called in to ask if he was all right. He answered, “Fine, Just Fine.” Then she heard the shot. A shot gun fired into the mouth. Oddly enough there was no mark, no bruise, no visible sign. Isn’t this strange?

He had made arrangements with the funeral director years before, stating he wanted no casket, no service and that he was to be cremated and the ashes strewn over the Pacific Ocean.

I spent many hours in his library from Thursday until Monday meditating, praying for him and asking the High Selves to watch over him as he adjusted to his new life on the other side. In the picture are the three red roses signifying the Three Selves with a candle lighted at all times. Our teen-age son took the picture and I was amazed to find the reflection of the flash bulb right over his heart! Isn’t this strange

OBITUARY

In early March Max wrote this Obituary and sent it to me. We reproduce it here exactly as he typed it.

“Remembering Max Freedom Long, October, 1890 -

He advocated and practiced Euthanasia when faced with an incurable leg condition.

His experience included time spent as a printer, photographer, school teacher and in 1917 he began a search for the secret of the Kahunas of old Hawaii – a search that lasted as a hobby for the rest of his days.

He wrote four Detective novels then followed with six hooks on Huna or related subjects He also wrote and sent out research bulletins in an early and late series, numbering over 200.

From about 1936 he gave most of his time to organizing the research work and carried on with the help of an average of’ about 500 Huna Research Associates, leading the experimental work that eventually led to the tracing of the Huna lore back to Egypt in the time of the Fourth Dynasty, finding the ten elements of Huna named in the glyphs of the writing of those days.

The Four Gospels were found to contain almost the whole of Huna in coded form, and his last book, THE HUNA CODE IN RELIGION, reviewed the findings up to the late date of the research effort.

He helped himself over the last hurdle, happily and expectant of being able to Graduate into the Aumakua level rather than return in another incarnation.

In going, the modern way which he suggested to his friends as best, he regretted only leaving his many and dear friends of the years, but anticipated meeting the many who had gone over ahead of him and perhaps finding the time for more research work on the other levels.

He left with much aloha to his many friends and HRAs.”

On Saturday afternoon, I ran the Tarot Cards asking expressly for Guidance and if possible for him to pick the cards.

Here are the seven cards.

The Lovers, Knight of Swords, Page of Pentacles, Wheel of Fortune, 8 of Swords, 5 of Cups and last, his well-loved Temperance card.

What is your interpretation of these cards? Write your views.

Wanting to leave no stone unturned, I flew to Vista and spent the first week in October there. Alice and George were godsends to me, having me for dinner each night. I talked to the doctor who felt his life would have been very brief anyway, the lawyers, the nurse, the funeral director and friends and visited with Miss Ethel.

Of one thing I am most certain. Max is not earthbound. Alice and I both agreed he is not there in his home, and I personally have a peaceful, good feeling about him and that the Temperance card is an omen.

Many letters have come from HRAs who knew of his passing, expressing their love and deep devotion to him. I will quote only a few.

From Mrs. Kiraley of Fresno, Cal.

“This is a natural result of his belief about graduating by one’s own way. The low self always accommodates and helps us follow through on our beliefs. He never felt it was something he had to clear out from his thinking. He was really well integrated with all his three selves. He was certainly a great Kahuna. I bless him and cover him with white light. I believe he will help many of’ us from his new home. Right now he is resting, as he well deserves and basking in the Great White Light of Love and Life.

From Dotty Stanforth, a long time HRA and close friend.

“Max was an educated and devoted man, and I always felt that he was head and shoulders above the majority of so-called advanced students. He was so open minded and gentle. He never hurt any opponent. He was kind and superior. My admiration was unbounded and my greatest regret was that I could do so little to advance the distribution of his books. I knew that the reading of any one of them meant a bigger view for any reader.”

From his niece, Betty Rae Marshall of’ Denver, Colorado.

“It is very hard to believe Uncle Max is really gone. I keep thinking of things I wanted to tell him. I guess it’s always that way when someone goes very suddenly, always so many regrets, so many leftover thoughts. He was always interested, always understanding, always cheerful and full of humor even when he was in such pain, and he was the personification of serenity and gentleness. I’m so glad and grateful for our two recent visits with him, brief as they were. I only wish we’d been able to be with him more — and sooner. He was a wonderful man, truly unique.”

From Isabel Johnson of’ Wenatchee, Washington.

“Is it any wonder that I venerate Max? Using his life to bring understanding of knowledge that would, in all probability, have passed into limbo if he hadn’t persisted against the vicissitudes of writing and publishing a concept so new and different from the orthodox. He has presented it with dignity, without hocus-pocus, flowing robes and temples or the Madison Avenue treatment which would have made him a very wealthy man with proper promotion.”

From Fernand Delarue, a foreign HRA who lives in France:

‘‘I must say to you how joyful and grateful I am when thinking all the work is now preserved from going to dust. Many times I wondered what would happen when Max goes to a higher place. Now I am quiet. Everything can go on. If I happened to be afraid, it was not only because Huna is close to my heart as an idea, but also because of Max himself’. He is so courageous. persevering, open-minded, never peremptory, never dogmatic, always seeking for truth with great goodness and fine smiling. Please excuse my bad English and mistakes. Awkward is the outside, but the inside is True.”

These fine examples speak for all of’ us of the veneration, pride and gratitude we all felt for our Max Freedom Long.

On October 26th Max would have been 81. Mrs. Long’s birthday was October 15th. He asked if I would have each year a Memorial Birthday Party in their honor. On Tuesday, October 19th, I invited fifty young matrons, members of the Junior Woman’s Club Literature Section, for lunch and to visit the library. Many called it “a day of learning.” Interestingly, a group was formed from them to study Huna more thoroughly. I considered it my party too since I was 53 on October 24th.

I pledge my time, effort and best talents to the continuation of Huna Research. Preserving the papers, books, manuscripts and treasures of Max Freedom Long. I will continue the newsletter from time to time for all who write in and are interested, publishing your thoughts on new books, your ideas of Huna and any other related material. There is a warm welcome awaiting each of you here. Mr. Henry Niles of Baltimore visited the library and said, “It is a holy place. I felt I should take off my shoes before entering.”

ANNOUNCEMENTS

6. Above all don’t forget our new Huna Address.

Dolly Ware, 1501 Thomas Place, Fort Worth, Texas 76107

If this letter is too long, too detailed or too personal as a historian would view it I am sorry. I feel I have been reporting to Max’s family, for he considered his HRAs just that. Also, with his famous tinned letters keeping us well posted as to the condition of the avocado crop, the pheasants nesting in the trees and his personal day-to-day life, it did not seem in keeping not to tell the whole story.

We are 500 strong and with Huna strength, we will be able to carry his work forward.

We bless you Max. We love you and know you are safely on your long, anticipated journey. God speed as you are guarded by the High Selves.

It seems fitting and proper to close by quoting the MFL Christmas letter to HRAs of 1948 and ending with a little prayer for HRAs by MFL in Huna Vistas 88, page 10.

“We crisscross the world as we braid the strands of fellowship and love, of’ peace and understanding, of’ brotherhood with all its kindly qualities. We know that one individual alone cannot move far toward brightening the world with Light. But we are swiftly coming to know that when we unite to work together, and to open the doors of heaven to the help of the High Selves, we multiply our strength from one power to the next and the next. My weak thread is easily broken when standing alone, but when it is braided with yours, and ours with those of’ our fellows, it can resist the Nth power of breaking strain and perhaps lift the world from darkness.

This is a hope that may well warm our hearts. Shining vistas open before our longing eyes. We may not be able to bring about great changes for the weary world next year, or even the next, but still we grow. We will continue to grow, and ever faster, because we have a tie to bind us together which is clear and clean and strong. Huna will not be the source of internal strife because of’ conflicting dogmas. Its very lack of’ dogma is its strength and its binding force. Its single command, that of non-hurt, and its single challenge, that of learning to work in unison with the High Selves, give us a new banner under which men of all creeds and nations may march side by side.

On this Christmas night of 1948, let us join each other in our telepathic healing time and send out our love and greetings, riot only to each other but to our High Selves and the Great Po`e Aumakua. I will act with you here at the Center in the usual way, and do all I can to braid the threads and direct the flow. Let us give thanks that we have been brought together, and dedicate ourselves anew to such Service as may be entrusted to us to fit the strength given our hearts and hands.”

“Parental Spirits whom I love, and whom I know love me, reach through the door I open wide. Make clear my path to thee.”

Bless you Max, as you have blessed us.

Serge King is reported to have studied Huna with Huna Research organization in his early career. He ended up being a Kahuna through another tradition. Though he doesn’t represent the Max Freedom Long lineage, he is certainly one of the most well known Huna teachers today.

Part 1

Part 2

Answer: That is a great “selfish” question if you understand how far you can go with Huna.

1. First, decide what you want for yourself. You must be very specific. That was the very thing Max said in his first Huna Bulletin in 1948. You must decide what you want and stick to it. Lani says, “Pray as if you can’t get out of bed without the help of your Aumakua, and live your life as if your Aumakua doesn’t exist.”

2. The second step is to improve your ability to be Self Sourcing in your life and to do the TMHG.

If you are Self Sourcing you take complete ownership and responsibility for your actions and their consequences. If you want to be happy, decide to be happy. If you want a friend, be a friend. You don’t need anything external to yourself in order to be happy, for example, for you are the source of your happiness, and the fulfillment of all your needs

3. The third step though would be to stop and ask yourself what is the most important thing that you want. Max said that the most important thing you can seek in life is to Graduate into an Aumakua. I know this may be hard to fathom. What if you made your agenda in life to spiritually grow and evolve as much as possible and still enjoy your life? That is probably the most important thing you can strive for.

There are things you can do right now to cause growth.

Spiritual growth occurs naturally by being alive. Daily challenges cause a person to grow even if the person lives poorly. By waking up in the morning there is some evolution. Challenge polishes a person’s soul. Image the friction of life causing spiritual growth similar to how oysters create pearls because of the grain of sand rubbing against it.

You have a choice in the challenges you take on for yourself. What if the concerns you handle are in the service of other people, not just your own well being? Isn’t this something that we all long for? To make a difference for other people?

Service to other people puts a person on an accelerated spiritual growth path. You still get the struggles for the growth, but the lesson come quicker because you have chosen this rather than having it forced upon you.

Answer: The secret is in who and what you are affiliated with, not just your personal capabilities to heal and be powerful. Huna is not merely a set of techniques to apply for yourself. Rather, it is a living and breathing tradition of people working together to help each other live better lives and evolve throughout this life and even through death. Huna is a lifestyle choice.

To summarize, your power can come from these main sources:

1. Power comes from the Po`e Aumakua which is the collection of individual na Aumakua (High Selves) that works on the behalf of the group. This is enhanced with the TMHG, the prayer created by Max and still continuing today. It works by sending mana (energy) and prayers (‘ano’ano) for manifesting into reality. Some Huna groups have their own prayer groups for members. It is very important to know how the prayer group or TMHG is led before you begin to participate.

2. Power comes from your own Aumakua. You can develop this power by improving the relationship within yourself and properly seeking its support. Your Aumakua opens the way as you pursue what you choose in life.

3. Power comes from your Ohana, or chosen Huna community. In the West we have lost the family-oriented and tribal way of life. The culture emphasizes independence and self-reliance. A person can accomplish much more in connection with like minded people.

4. Power comes from your own personal ability to decide what you want and to use tenacity and intention to make it so. Many techniques are available in Huna to support this.

5. Do you need power after you have died? The teaching of Kahuna Max and Kahuna Oscar Brunler is that there is almost no mana in Po (The Void) and land of the dead.

As you have very little mana after you die, your physical power is limited as well. But in Huna, the duty of the living is to support the deceased on their journey and while they’re in the Dreamworld. This is done through an offering of mana-infused `Awa (kava kava) during a formal `Awa ceremony held on the Holy Day of Remembrance.

Answer: Well, from my perspective, that would be the TMHG and Firewalk of course. Both require initiation to do.

The Firewalk has been a sacred ceremony for thousands of years in many tribes. The Huna Firewalk Ceremony that has emerged in Huna is tribal with roots in Polynesia.

In fact, Huna was born in the Fire. It was in 1872 when William Tufts Brigham walked over hot lava with the last three Volcano Kahunas on the Big Island, Hawaii. This was his initiation to direct contact with the spiritual forces that evolved through his life and Max’s into Huna.

It is kind of ironic that Max never firewalked ,since he spoke so much about it and unraveled so many other mysteries in Huna. But nobody was available in his day to initiate him. This was long before the Firewalk movement of the 1980s. At one point he almost had somebody to initiate him but the Firewalk Priest died before his Firewalk Initiation could occur.

But Max did lay down the groundwork for firewalking in Huna as a ceremony. In Huna, the Firewalk Ceremony is proof that a person has faith and becomes the model for how to live with the 3-part self in lokahi (unity and harmony).

The TMHG (pronounced: tim-hug) is the other critical Huna practice. You can access the TMHG by submitting a Prayer Request to a Prayer Kahuna. All 3 organizations in Max Freedom Long’s lineage have an active TMHG for joining on a regular basis or submitting requests for prayer support.

Answer: There most certainly are. Na Kahuna (Priests, Ministers, and Experts) are still in Polynesia and they are in Huna as well.

But your question needs to be re-stated to avoid confusion.

First of all, I assume that you mean a kahuna that teaches the religious or spiritual side of things. There are na kahuna who are experts in many different areas such as wood carving, canoe making, etc.

Further still, there are religious na kahuna of Hawaiian and Polynesian tradition and of the tradition of Huna. The term “huna” is a word in the Hawaiian language that means “secret” or “dust.” But it didn’t refer to a system of spirituality like it means to many people now. The teachings of Huna are actually not Hawaiian, though have many roots and links to Hawaiian spiritual traditions.

Max Freedom Long wanted to give a name to the system of teachings and practices he had learned from his kumu (teacher) Kahuna Ha`ole Nui (Great White Priest) William Tufts Brigham, other religious na kahunas or inferred from his own research. This system he called “Huna.” So from here on, when we refer to “Huna,” we mean the religious and psychological system created by Max Freedom Long and continuing until this day.

So you ask, are there religious na Kahuna of Huna? There most certainly are.

There are a couple of people who learned directly from Max and many other people who have spent their lives studying the writing and recordings he has made and trained under these mamo or “descendents” of Kahuna Max. These na Kahuna of Huna function as religious priests and ministers to people who need help or as teachers for people who want to learn about Huna for themselves.

There are Kahunas of 3 main organizations that originated from Max Freedom Long.

• Huna Ohana (Huna Research, Inc) – This is an extension of the original HRA organization founded by Max Freedom Long. It focuses mostly on the psychological systems taught by Max. Lots of techniques have been integrated and added, such as hypnosis, NLP and other techniques. http://www.huna-ohana.com
• Huna Heiau - This is a religious organization that has focused on creating a Huna Priesthood. Na kahuna of this organization have specialized training in areas originally laid out by Max Freedom Long. Examples are Haku Pule (Prayer), Kalo (Tarot), Ho`ola (Healing), Firewalking, Koa (Exorcists). Na kahuna offer service to people with problems that may be helped by the application of those particular Lores. http://www.hunaheiau.org
• Huna Life – This is a religious organization which is a moderate balance between the psychological focus of the HRI and the religious/ceremonial focus of the Huna Heiau. Bottom Line: Use only what works the best. http://www.hunalife.org

Back to your original question… were you wanting to know if there are na kahuna in Polynesia or people trained in these traditions to teach you? Well we are certain that there are. But we don’t know much about those things since the Huna tradition is now only loosely linked to Hawaii. It has some important ties that you will learn about if you continue to explore MaxFreedomLong.com, but not enough that we would know who na kahuna are at this time. But if you want to discover maybe a search online or a trip to Hawaii would help.
