The Ikon

The ikon has been completed and has arrived from HRA George Sandwith who mailed it from Australia before leaving for England, where he will remain for a time before returning to Australia to head a scientific expedition into the hinterlands to make further studies of the magic of the Australian Aboriginals. (I am greatly pleased to be invited to go along, even if I cannot accept for various reasons.)

THE IKON is the outcome of a project which was discussed at some length over a year ago in the Bulletins – the investigation of the nature of ikons and the rediscovery of the art of making them. HRA Sandwith, then in Tonga, was fortunate enough to own an ikon over four centuries old and still potent. It is in the form of a 10×13 inch carved and painted wooden plaque – a carved figure of Jesus on the cross with Mary and John standing at either side below. It was presented to him by an artist in Ethiopia, and through it as a contact center, he has been able to converse psychically with a spirit which seems to preside over the ikon – the spirit of an Ethiopian woman.

IS THERE A BEST TIME TO MAKE THE PRAYER-ACTION?

We have been making Huna studies and have been carrying on experiments now for some time in order to learn HOW to make a prayer-action most effectively. We have come upon many most significant things, such as the need for building up a good mana surcharge, of making contact with na Aumakua, and presenting the pictures of desired conditions on the flow of the mana which we offer as the true form of sacrifice – the thing in all sacrifices that can matter. Now comes the question of whether one time is better than another in which to pray in the Huna fashion or in any other way, be it by rote, by ritual or by surreptitiously reaching into a pocket to rub a rabbit’s foot.

NEWS FROM THE STUDY

THE BOOK which I have been writing on for the past six months as a means of making a living, has been completed, but, for unforeseen reasons, will probably NOT BE PUBLISHED. I wish to express my deep appreciation to all of you who kindly asked me in advance to reserve a copy for you. Should plans change later, and the book be printed, I will announce it.

HRA Dr. Nandor Fodor offers consolation for all HRA book worms, however, in a letter just in. Any of you who like to buy new books bearing on the mysteries and puzzles of the submerged part of our consciousness, may have a copy of his book, THE SEARCH FOR THE BELOVED for $3, or, as a combination offer, with the NEW APPROACHES TO DREAM INTERPRETATION, for $7. Add 12 cents postage for each book and tell Dr. Fodor to whom you wish him to inscribe the books. His address is, The Park Central Hotel, 7th Ave. at 56th St., New York, N.Y. Both books have been reviewed in the Bulletin, and either one is a delight to one with a love of the newest information on the psychological puzzle of the subliminal. Dr. Fodor deserves warm thanks for making it possible for the HRAs to get his books at special prices through him. (By the way, if any of you have a copy of his ENCYCLOPEDIA OF PSYCHIC SCIENCE from which you could be coaxed to part, will you let me know, and set your price? Two HRAs desire very much to get copies. Last quotation on them was $15, only there weren’t any.) Read more

A SIMPLER ADDRESS has been adopted for your use in addressing your letters, cards or packages to me. However, in using it, be very sure you put in the 28, e.g. Hollywood 28, or the letter might go the rounds of the Hollywood postal substations. Hollywood is part of Los Angeles, and the Los Angeles 28, is still o.k. to use, but needs the notation “Hollywood Station” to make sure.

THE NEWS HERE AT THE STUDY IS MORE OF THE SAME

The book I am writing for my present living is getting on slowly. As you will have observed, my correspondence is very Quaker – “Yea and nay” variety. More extended correspondence comes when there are things important to our Huna studies and experiments that must be discussed. Some very interesting foreign mail of late bearing on the subjects of radionics, dowsing and general work with the pendulum. Read more

THE QUARTERLY HRA REPORT

The quarterly report to the dozen or so HRAs needs to cover the findings of HRA Verne Cameron and their significance. All through the quarter, new information has been presented by way of the Bulletin. ROUND ROBIN and BSRA have carried additional accounts and Editor-Director, N. Meade Layne, (MA, FHF and HRA) has added the considerable weight of his opinion to the probable validity and great importance of the series of tests and measurements. With an instrument which I have called a horizontal-swing pendulum and which has also been called a water compass because it was invented to use in locating sites for wells, HRA Verne Cameron of Elsinore, California has been able to measure the radiations which come from objects, people, thought-forms and signatures – to mention only a part of the objects.

The HRA Bulletin resumes publication after skipping one issue

My sincere thanks to you all for your kindly understanding of the need to skip a Bulletin issue. It allowed me a vacation, even if it was necessary to spend it here at the study to work out a considerable number of rather intricate problems connected with the writing job presently in hand. However, the job (and the kindness of my friends) did include a bus trip up the coast to Santa Barbara and a delightful visit, some new friends, a stay over night, and some necessary consultations on the script.

THIS IS A LETTER BULLETIN FOR THE MOST PART

Cigbo starts it off. He writes “Dear Aunties and Uncles: Terrible BIG, BEST thanks for remembering ME and send in those extra stamps and dimes for my compo sink stick type fund! I sell the stamps to my cigar box for dimes, and you should see the types ME and boss got marked to buy in the type CAT-a-log! Wunnerful!

“I’ll let you all in on a sekrut. I got the idea from watching boss these days. He is righting a brook – you know, ‘babble, babble, babble’ – that kind. And IF he can get away with it, just think what I could do, what with being so espert a purrrrrrer. Besides I am a great hand as a scratcher, and I could scratch out lines and pair-o-graffs and even whole pages lots faster and better as boss. Read more

A new issue of the ROUND ROBIN is out!

This is always delightful news, and it is deserving of the exclamation point for several reasons.

First, because each issue is a major event in the lives of those of us with metaphysically-shaped heads who revel in the things HRA Meade Layne amazingly seems ever able to find and spread before us as prize fare for hungry minds and spirits.

A second reason for the exclamation point is that the scant dollars we furnish to help set the table can be stretched so miraculously far as to provide an office, an editorial staff and means of producing and mailing the ROBIN. The picture always rises in my mind of a robin on my lawn holding to one end of an earthworm, bracing his feet rather desperately, and pulling until the worm is stretched to the utter breaking point.

The “fantastic” beliefs mentioned in a recent Bulletin …

I did not mean to be tiresome and guilty of baiting the hook of interest with mystery when I said that in due time I would tell of my experiences with HRA V.L. Cameron. I know how much I dislike things being withheld after mentioning them as something mysterious and wonderful.

In this case, it was something which, to me, is more fantastic than usual – and in a part of the research field that is filled with findings difficult to accept. What seems still so fantastic to me is that the human aura – or call it the etheric body, astral body, or the body made up of the aka bodies of the Aumakua and Auhane, interblended – has extensions from the shoulders which for all the world resemble wings.

In addition, there is an aura like a large thick doughnut, with a small hole in the center – this aura always remaining above the head. Read more

HOO`LA

A Polynesian spirit HOO`LA, is the name given by a healing returned via the medium-spirit who made contact recently with the ship of Jessie Curl… well-known English psychic, Jessie Curl, when she was stopping over in Pago Pago, Samoa. Elsie A. Keithe, good friend of Huna, via Meade Layne and ROUND ROBIN magazine, got into touch with us and is supplying the information worked with great speed through Jessie Curl, healing as she pointed to one after another in the hall. In her case she had been in pain for three weeks from lumbago, but the pain left her instantly when the healing was sent in her direction and did not return. (This was in February of 1949, so Hoo-la must have been found and taken on as a healing guide before that date.)

Hoo-la (translation: “to cause life or cause light, the symbol of life and health”) claims to have been both healer and warrior in physical life in Samoa. When the medium is in deep trance, he takes over and touches the person to be healed with her hands, causing the sensation of rain drops pattering down on various parts of the body which are being treated (recalling the symbol in the prayers of na kahuna when they said, “Let the rain of blessings fall,” asking for the down-flow of the high mana, supposedly). There is wide scope in the healing. A case is mentioned in which a serious abdominal hernia was about to be operated on, but which responded to treatment and in three weeks was completely gone.
