How To Use The Pendulum

How To Use the Pendulum

By Max Freedom Long – [Mid-Summer 1951]

1. Make a pendulum or “bob” by tying a thread to a ring, button, wooden ball, medium size marble. A locket on a chain works well. Whatever you use should be about four inches from its end to where you hold it between thumb and lst and 2nd fingers. If right handed, use your right hand. Read more

Huna – The Workable Psycho-Religious System of the Polynesians

PART I

The Investigation of Huna and How It Came About

DURING THE past century investigations have been made of native magic in Africa, India and other parts of the world. Spiritualistic phenomena have been certified as genuine and studied painstakingly by over a hundred recognized scientists. Religions have been surveyed and the instant or nearly instant miraculous healing at Lourdes verified.

But from all these studies and efforts there has come nothing faintly resembling a definite basic system, philosophy, theory, or psycho-religious science which would explain, even in the most general terms, the phenomena of the various fields. In fact, investigations in these fields began to arrive at a stalemate several years ago. New discoveries have been conspicuously lacking. Read more

To Be Good or Not To Be Good

April 15, 1953

THE TESTING OF SIGNATURES, OLD PHOTOS, still older signatures, etc., for the new GROWTH-DEVELOPMENT project still goes on in all spare moments. I am sure I will get everyone processed for preliminary tests before the second set is due on June 1st. When the second set of signatures arrives, I will test them in turn and compare the readings with those of signatures made before the intensive effort period started. If there is no change in the reading, we will say that no progress was made. If there is a change, we will recheck all signatures and try to see the significance of pattern or brain radiation changes. Read more

Cleaning Up the Bodies

April 1, 1953

THE NEW BOOK WILL BE READY APRIL 10th, says a letter from Kingsport Press. I will ask that a number be sent at once to me here in California so that they can be autographed before being mailed on to those of you who wish copies and prefer to have them autographed. The price is $4 post paid, with sales tax to be added in California. (352 pages, and binding uniform with the first edition of SSBM. This book, as announced in an earlier Bulletin, will be called THE SECRET SCIENCE AT WORK.) Read more

The New Growth-Development Test Project

March 15, 1953

THE NEW GROWTH-DEVELOPMENT TEST PROJECT

The project is off to a flying start, with more signatures in by far than I had anticipated, and with the slow task of Biometric and pendulum testing and special experimental studies being worked on in all the free moments. Through the kindness of some of the English HRAs and friends, particularly those interested in the many uses of the Biometer and variations of the original Bovis instrument, I have been furnished with some excellent new handbooks and special information. In a short time the new “Aura Biometer” developed by a member of the ARCHER’S COURT RESEARCH GROUP, and with a handbook to go with it, will be placed on sale through an agent to be appointed here in U.S.A. A very excellent source of information has come by mail, authored by Mr. John J. Williamson, principal of the group. I am writing to ask whether or not it is available to all who wish it and at what price. (It seems, however, to be the mimeo instruction book to go with the new Aura Biometer developed by Dr. Benham.) The new instrument is calibrated for diagnosis of physical conditions primarily, but can be used in the extended form for the reading of the personality patterns and the mental radiations in a way very much like the Brunler-Bovis instrument but with a different type of reading.

SSBM and a New Project!

March 1, 1953

 

SSBM

THE REPRINT ON SSBM IS FINISHED and copies may now be ordered as before except that the price has been raised from $3 to $3.89. Printing prices having risen, paper having risen, and prices on small printings being higher than on large former ones. The gift book on sleep suggestion is still included in the package free if ordered through Kosmon Press. If ordered from HRA Gordon Collier, 72 Orchard St., Tarrytown, N.Y., the gift book will be one by Worth Smith on the pyramid prophesies.

AUTOGRAPHED COPIES OF SSBM with the sleep suggestion gift book in the package, and with the eight pages of illustrations to be tacked in, may be had by sending the order to me to get filled. Price for this is $4, as all books sent to me to be autographed and forwarded to you take 12 cents for the California sales tax and an extra 12 cents of postage to carry the book from the printer (who stores them and mails them from Tennessee directly to you) has to send them first out to me in response to the order of Kosmon Press. I have to pay the sales tax whether you live out here or not, then autograph the book as you request (to any friend you may name, or just by signing my name on the title page – please remember to say which you want), and put on another 12 cents in postage to get the book on its way to you. (If you want the combination offer with the pyramid prophesies gift book, send the $3.89 to HRA Collier for the book package and instruct him to mail it directly to me. Then write to me to tell me how you want it autographed, enclose 12 cents in stamps, and, if we do not get everything hopelessly mixed up, the Tarrytown package should eventually reach you or your friend to whom you may ask me to send it. The books are not insured against loss in the mails unless requested and enough for insurance is added. Hope you can make head and tail of all these complications.) Read more

Max’s Vacation Reading

Feb. 15, 1953

 

MY VACATION actually came and, thanks to all of you allowing me to skip a Bulletin issue. I had a grand period of rest, with time to enjoy the Arizona desert places, to meditate some, to pray and hold the TMHG periods, and to catch up with the reading of accumulated articles and books, many of which had been sent in through the kindness of one HRA or another. I also was able to get hold of a copy of the massive Strong’s Concordance of the Bible, and to do some checking in it to further verify the Huna-in-Bible finds and add to them in various ways, as well as to note down many things to be looked into later when time allows.

Voodoo & The “Elementals”

January 15, 1953

 

ABOUT VOODOO

More about Voodoo has been written in the year just past by Marcus Bach who won his doctorate in creative writing and dramatic art, and who teaches in the School of Religion at the University of Iowa. Dr. Bach specializes in investigating and reporting the “little-known religious groups of America,” and has now added the Voodoo of Haiti to his list. Part of his research was aided by a grant or fellowship from the Rockefeller Foundation, so he has been able to cover his chosen field rather well.

About two years ago Dr. Bach dropped in to call on me and to find out whether or not Huna and the HRA represented a “faith” and a cult organization worth writing up and including in his book, then in the writing THEY HAVE FOUND A FAITH. I explained that we were a research and experimental group and not at all in the class with Jehovah’s Witnesses, Father-Divine’s “kingdoms,” Psychiana, Unity and others of the same stripe. Some time later I was much pleased when HRA Mrs. Walter Grimm sent me a copy of the book. It was very interesting and the clay feet were not stressed greatly when the several founders were discussed. Dr. Bach feels that whenever there is found a faith by which people can live, and which fills their needs, that faith is worthwhile regardless of what it is or who invented or assembled it.

A Variety of “Bodies”

January 1, 1953

 

MANY THANKS for your greetings by letter and by Christmas cards this year. I was warmed by your friendship and made very happy because of you all. May I take this opportunity to express my wish that each and every one of you will find much growth, inner progress and happiness in the New Year which we are now entering.

CHANGES FOR HRA LIE AHEAD, I am sure, and I am certain that most of you who have been with HRA for some time agree with me that the time is coming rapidly when we will have enough information to enable us to lay it in orderly fashion before the world. The time is also arriving when we will be as ready as we may ever be to begin putting to full use the Huna and other findings which have accumulated since SSBM was published. Let us pray that the Service we perform together of increasing world knowledge will be expanded instead of remaining confined to our own numbers. Read more

SSBM and Freedom

December 15, 1952

 

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
