Huna Groups and Vivaxis

 

NEWS OF GROUPS IS GOOD

EVEN WITH SUMMER HERE in USA, and the work of some groups recessed for the warm season, other groups have kept meeting and working. We now count TEN groups, with a few more  possible, but not reporting. The very active group in the San Diego, Calif. region had its address given wrong. It is William Boone, 0413 1/2 Lemon Ave, La Mesa, Ca., 92041. This correction is for those who would like to have a part in such group work, and for those who may have found the address as last given, lacking. (Cigbo says he will take the blame, bless him.)

A TAPE OF REPORTS FROM SEVERAL GROUPS was made up at the end of July and sent to the active groups. It is also available to those who are just interested in hearing what is going on in groups. On loan for a donation to cover postage and leave a bit for the Tape Fund. Full Reel Numbered Misc. #1. A direct report on the second side from the leaders of the Gulf Islands Group near Vancouver, Wash.

MY TAROT CARD PREDICTION OF THE OUTCOME OF THE MOON WALK was very close to the mark. You will recall that I cut two cards together for the success of the venture, the first card being THE THREE OF CUPS, showing three people holding cups high and rejoicing. This was, happily, the outcome. But with it I drew THE FALLING TOWER, in which the Tower is struck by lightning and two people fall from an opening in the side to their destruction. When one considers what happened, the second card came so close to being “true” that it is amazing. The men in the landing craft had to pilot the capsule by hand on a long leap over a crater filled with boulders and barely managed it, with 1% of their fuel left. Had they run out of fuel and fallen on the side of the crater, turned over and rolled to the bottom, this card would certainly have applied. By the way, John Cooke’s Tarot Cards, in new and beautiful color design to fit the description given via the Ouija Board spirit dictations, have been reduced to hand size, and the minors are being made up now to fill the deck. It is hoped that the beautiful new cards, together with a book and the instructions for their use in playing a “game”, will be ready shortly before Christmas at a price around $6.00. We will announce out loud and clear when all is ready.

NEW LIGHT ON MANA AND ITS NATURE is to be had from the recent work of two women, Frances Nixon and  Bettie O’Connor, who have given us a new book to tell of their remarkable findings. The book is titled VIVAXIS, The Spiral of Life, and is published in Toronto, Canada, by Abbey Book Publishers. (The price should be under $5 as it is a small book, but illustrated with plates and drawings.) The copy I have for the moment is one on loan from Riley Crabb, Editor of the BSRA journal (who, in passing, may I say, gave generously of space in his last issue to reproduce the material on the kahunas from the articles formerly published by the Hawaiian Historical Society, and with a page or so of comment on the statements by me. The quotes were from an article appearing [in] the “Theosophist” in 1897 and is from the pen of the French Consul in Hawaii who seems to have interested himself in native beliefs and practices.)

In VIVAXIS (for “Life Axis”), the writers tell of a long series of studies and experiments carried on over a period of time on Thetis Island, B.C., Canada. They do not call their discovery MANA, and we have to expand our own ideas of the force as used by the Aunihipili and the body to include the new angles. On the dust cover of the book we read, “VIVAXIS is the source of each individual’s magnetic energies.”

They explain later how this polarized magnetic pattern surrounds and fills us, and how, if it has been broken in part by X-rays or illness, it can be set right again by the method of re-polarizing it. The book is made to include case histories of the successful treatment of many ills, including a number of side ills caused by X-rays of body or feet or teeth. Reading the book makes one wonder if some of our Charley horses may not be left over from visits to dentist or doctor.

TO UNDERSTAND WHAT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED, we need to go back, FIRST, over what we know of mana from the accounts of the early writers who have reported on what they found that the Polynesians believed. I have gone back to a fine digest of this source material given by Werner Wolff in his 1948 book, Island of Death, which is all about the similarity of the strange Easter Island writings in glyphs resembling in many ways the early Egyptian, and suggesting some ancient tie between the Egyptians and the Easter Island branch of the Polynesians.

POLARITY of the mana, as a form of energy, is something basic to the new VIVAXIS, and so we look to early beliefs for more light, always keeping in mind the fact that the concepts of polarized mana were badly warped and changed as handed down, and that there was always an outer doctrine, but a secret one known to the kahunas. (In the coded Gospels we find the energy of mana extending beyond Jesus’ body when the hem of his garment was touched and he “felt the power leaving him” to heal a certain stranger. This suggests a protruding “energy field” or aka body which served to house the energy of polarized mana – to give it a “pattern”. Our terms are always apt to trip us up.) Be patient with me, and I will try to make a slow approach to the several parts of the question.

Speaking of the lifting of the great STONE IMAGES of Easter Island up over the rim of the crater of the volcano from which the images were cut, and letting them down again on the steep outer side, then transporting them for miles, (contrary to Thor Hyerdahl’s experiments in which smaller statutes were successfully handled with reed ropes) we have again the familiar “levitation” of spiritualism, or are reminded that there was a tradition that the great stones of the Egyptian Pyramids were lifted and set into place by the early kahunas. Wolff opens his discussion of mana with, “… a story which entirely satisfies the native mind and is repeated on every occasion. There was a certain old woman who lived on the southern corner of the mountain and filled the position of cook to the image makers. She was the most important person of the establishment, and moved the images by supernatural power mana – ordering them about by her will. (The word “kahuna” has for one of its several meanings that of “to cook”, so we may guess that this woman was a kahuna of much power.)

WE COUNT THREE GRADES OF MANA, one for use of each of three spirits who use the body. But the count must be enlarged to take in the Universe and its “energy fields” which overlap and react one on the other from the most vast to the microscopic field of the atom. Wolff makes these points concerning mana, beliefs:

  1. All mankind carries mana, but the great representatives of this force were the king, priest, the bird and the statues.
  2. Handy has compared mana energy with electricity. This is a pertinent comparison since it also involves other mana concepts which electricity has made familiar: the fluid force of energy common, in a greater or lesser degree, to all active, transference of contact, loading, discharging, and of positive and negative poles. (The underscores are mine as we go along and it is desirable to call attention to certain words or ideas. mfl.)
  3. MANA is not a flowing force, but the flowing force. It is not inherent and can be possessed by no person or object but, depending on the carrier’s development, can be partaken of, in a greater or lesser degree, for a long or short period. Human beings “borrow” their mana from the WORLD MANA; persons having a high degree can destroy it, but the world mana, passing as it does through the gods, cannot be destroyed. A human being can charge himself with mana, increasing or decreasing it, transferring it to other beings or to objects, and provoking transformations and mutations with this energy. This force, stored in beings and objects, remains only as long as they “live”. When death comes, mana leaves, taking the shadow image (aka body) of the being or object to which it was attached, keeping it until the shadow has been extinguished. (Here we see the original idea mixed with outer beliefs, such as the fact that the king was a special receptacle of mana, or that by eating a dead enemy, one could absorb his mana.)
  4. The organism of the man who is the receiver must correspond to the mana degree with which he is charged, otherwise short circuits win result, endangering the receiver as well as the transmitter. If a man of insufficient power provokes the cosmic mana, intentionally or unintentionally, great disturbances may overwhelm the whole people, producing explosions, earthquakes, etc. Mana energy was regulated and directed through rites and ceremonials and taboos.
  5. The objects from which mana emanated and those to which mana could be transmitted, as well as the means of transmission and reception, were not limited. Man could receive mana through each of his organs, from each of his manifestations: eyes, ears, taste, smell, etc. He could transmit mana by thinking, seeing, acting, dancing, etc., and every object could be used as a storehouse for this energy.
  6. The polarity manifestations of heaven and earth create the energy of life and destiny; polar manifestations of male/female create the child; the polarity of active and passive reception creates the soul. The Chinese have this polarity in their Yang/Yin. The mana concept is found in Easter Island in the “navel and uterus” that name the polar energy of life, which is indicated in the following: the navel for the Easter Islanders was turned outward as a button; this was the symbol of mana energy, leading outward, whereas the uterus was the symbol of mana energy turned inward. To the Maori the cho, or navel, means the “umbilical cord” and the “heart or kernel of anything”. The uterus was the symbol for the descending or negative pole of mana.
  7. The same concept existed in the Mayan civilization. It is the concept of the dual principle in the creation of man who, in the embryonic state, nourished by the umbilical cord, is born toward life, but because of this birth is also born toward death. Mana, the world energy with two  poles, finds its representation in the structure of man’s soul. (Keep in mind the belief that man and woman eventually unite as Auhanes to “graduate” to the level of the United Aumakuas.)
  8. In Easter Island the volcano from whose crater the images were carved and sent flying to their posts, was considered the great primeval mother, and each islander was connected with this “navel of the earth”. The stone images or embryos of the volcanic womb were a symbol of eternity, reassuring the islander in his fear of death. Death appears only as a long sleep from which the creature may again waken through the volcanic mana… The birds carved on statues and rocks were the magic seal of eternal life. (The bird was the secret symbol used for man as a spirit. A medium to whom spirits came and who spoke through the medium, was called “the roost”.)

NOTE: We have in the Easter Island and other Polynesian beliefs, the idea of the mana on a universal scale as well as a scale small enough to enliven even the tiny things. Always there is polarity. In the book of VIVAXIS the authors found that one retained a definite relationship with the place of birth. It was the same idea as of the umbilical cord (or aka thread) which ever contacts the earth. In the work of correcting the polarity of a person, he must locate the direction from him of his place of birth and align himself with it as with the positive pole of his very being. There is a “channel” lying in the direction of the birth place, and one walks back and forth only in this during the restoring process. The flow and movement of the polarized or non-polarized mana or force is not to be measured by an instrument, for it is NOT electromagnetic. It is measured with a pendulum or a dowser’s “angle wire”. These things are sensitive enough to tell what is needed to know about the force and its lines of force or direction of its poles.

NOW CONSIDER WHAT MODERN SCIENCE SUGGESTS that may help us. It offers the energy field, very definitely pattern to hold the created basic elements and their related groups together in related and intermingled patterns.

I am indebted to M. Wayne Brown, B.A. D.C., of Los Angeles, Calif., for a very fine article in which he shows how the Huna concepts link up with the field theory. I would like to give the whole article, but space limits me, so I will pick up parts and try to string them together. I will now quote.

With the advent of Einstein’s physics and quantum theory, our understanding of the world in which we live has undergone a tremendous transformation. From a world of dead, inert matter on the one hand and a world of mind – which was suspiciously regarded as hardly more than an epiphenomenon of cell function in the brain – we have arrived at a world in which all phenomena are regarded as parts of each other. Instead of a world of dead, inert matter, we are confronted with a world of motion in the form of energy. What we have called matter is seen to be the structural arrangement of energy fields – ranging from the simple hydrogen molecule to the most complex protein molecules. We ourselves are a living field encompassing lesser living fields within still lesser living fields.

In this scheme of Creative Evolution we behold a process of expansion and increasing complexity of structure – along a continuum which  starts with the atom, proceeds to the molecule, the inorganic substances and compounds, on to the cell with its colloidal structure, to multicellular organisms, to increasingly specialized structures within organisms until we finally arrive at homo sapiens.

At each step of the way we see energy fields manifesting according to known laws as their complexity of structure increases more and more. Four factors which modern physics holds to be true relative to fields are:

  1. Fields, if undisturbed, will remain permanently in one of a number of possible stationary states.
  2. Any two fields may, under the proper circumstances, interact and exchange their energy in keeping with the laws of the conservation of energy.
  3. Under certain circumstances bound states may exist between any two fields.
  4. Fields may arrange themselves in such a way as to produce isomorphic duplications of themselves.

To clarify the above for those to whom the concept of the field is not a working concept, we can define a field as: AN EXTENT  OF SPACE in which LINES OF MAGNETIC OR ELECTRICAL FORCE ARE IN OPERATION.

Einstein was telling us that the universe is one vast electromagnetic field encompassing uncounted lesser electromagnetic fields within itself. Thus, every aspect of the universe is in constant relation to every other aspect in some fashion.

An example with which we are readily familiar is our own solar system. Here we find a vast field centered around the sun, with lesser fields rotating around the center in the form of planets. Some of the planets possess other lesser fields rotating around them in the form of moons. Each of the planets is in turn the center of a field which encompasses countless fields within itself in the form of water, atmosphere, land, plants, animals, etc. We have now sophisticated electrical devices with which we can map these fields,   indeed, to the point of mapping fields in the human body. Were it not for our understanding of the nature of fields, our present ventures into space would be impossible.

Our continuance as a species of life is totally dependent upon a particular kind of field – that which comprises our chromosomes and genes. In these cases we have fields which possess the property of isomorphic duplication, hence the phenomenon of heredity. In most cases, these fields remain in a stationary state until cell division takes place or conception occurs. However, due to outside forces, there are times when these states are disturbed and their characteristic structure is disturbed. The result of these disturbances may be a mutation, a loss of function – or cancer!

Several universities are now conducting serious experiments with regard to the kind of perception which occurs from plants to plants, plants to animals, animals to plants. As a result of the discovery of this phenomena in February, 1966, by Cleve Backster, we have evidence that plants respond to our thoughts in an electrical way which can be recorded, just as human emotional reactions can be recorded for a psycho-galvanic reflex reading. In other words, there is now evidence that there is communication between the living fields – communication by means of a frequency which CANNOT be shielded by ordinary means. The signals have been recorded even though every kind of cage has surrounded the plant – even to enclosing it within lead.

Thus we arrive at the point where we can see that fields can exchange energy and influence each other no matter whether the field be physical, chemical or biological in nature.

Suppose then, with this extremely compact context as our field of effort, we look at Huna concepts with an eye to the rationalizing of them for the individual who insists that he “can’t believe anything that isn’t scientific.”

The Huna understanding of man has maintained that he is comprised of three selves, three bodies, three energies and a physical body. The three selves are designated as the Auhane, Aunihipili and Aumakua. Each of these three selves occupies its own (shadowy) body. Each of these bodies utilizes its own kind of energy or life force. These energies or life forces may be exchanged between these bodies and selves in certain specified ways.

From this understanding of man there is then developed a system by which these elements in man may be made to function cooperatively. There is the concept of sticky threads which link one Aunihipili with another. There is the concept of the aka (or shadowy) finger which may be extended by the Aunihipili to function in a number of ways which we would think of as “extra  sensory”. There is  the concept of “eating companions” which may adversely affect the Aunihipili in its attempts to cooperate with the middle of Aumakuas……………….

These thing were understandable in terms of the kahunas’ world. Their concepts would take on the nature of “constructs” –  tools for thinking and understanding AS THOUGH this were the structure and function of man.

With this assumption behind us, let us see whether the basic elements within Huna cannot be placed within the framework of modern terminology and be made meaningful.

We would begin with the assumption that man is a living bio-electric field. This field encompasses all other lesser fields within it, yet is in definite structural relationship to each and all such. One such lesser field would be designated as the Conscious Field – corresponding to the Auhane. This field would include within itself a Neural Field which we recognize as the Central Nervous System – itself a very complex field.

Another lesser field would be designated the Sub-Liminal Field – corresponding to the Aunihipili. This field would include within itself another Neural Field which we would recognize as the Autonomic Nervous System with its seat in the Diencephalon – another extremely complex field.

While the two fields can be identified as separate for analytical purposes, yet they comprise a unity. Each field may influence the other and in that influencing there are exchanges of energy. These exchanges may include hormonal fields, neural fields, metabolic fields – fields which may be physical, chemical, electrical in nature depending upon the structural requirements for the transfer of energy.

Now a leap of faith is required to posit the third field. This third field might be considered like the field of the galaxy in which our solar system is a lesser field. This field would be designated as the Aumakua. Although it is outside the lesser selves in a spacial sense, it is also inside the fields in a spacial sense. We live and move and have our being within this greater field but we can more or less ignore it when it comes to mundane affairs. Certainly, if we follow our analogy, we would concede that the energy represented by the galaxy far exceeds that of the solar system, just as we posit that the energy represented by the Aumakua far exceeds that of the Auhane and Aunihipili.

According to the kahunas, the total self is so structured that energy exchanges do not occur directly between the Conscious Field and the Super Conscious Field, our term for the Aumakua. Such a conception is not necessarily difficult to consider for we find similar indirect transactions taking place within a total field by way of intermediary lesser fields. For example, should the Conscious Self evaluate a situation as threatening, it can not communicate with the fields which might take care of such an emergency. Instead, a signal goes from the Central Nervous System to the Autonomic by way of the Pituitary Gland, which in turn secretes a hormone which is carried by way of the blood stream which reaches its destination to produce a release of blood sugar for emergency energy. Of course, there are many other pathways by which these signals reach other fields at the same time, but none of them directly from the Conscious to the eventually functioning field or fields.

Thus, according to the Huna structuring, the Conscious Field effects an energy accumulation   transformation in the Sub-Liminal Field and by a further expression of energy directs this energy from the Sub-Liminal to the Super Conscious. Deep breathing is seen to be the ordinary method employed for such an energy exchange. However, a strong emotional state may also result in a similar exchange  particularly where an emergency exists or strong religious overtones are superimposed. Many “healings” have been recorded under such circumstances – all such instances following the structuring of middle to low to high, although no conscious effort was made to do so. Such an energy flow appears to be almost automatic in such cases.

When the energy flow is reversed, it will be seen that again the Aumakua does not communicate directly with the Auhane. Instead, the pathway is by way of the Aunihipili – thus, high to low to middle. When this structuring is understood, it serves to lift a warning finger to all communications that are purportedly from “on high”. Such communications may very well indeed be from on high, but they are always filtered through the channels of an intermediary self, the Aunihipili. Hence, there will always be some distortion.

If we turn our attention to the ability of the Aunihipili to extend an aka finger, if such a construct seems too primitive, then we have only to call to mind the capacity even of plants to communicate with each other on frequencies outside our known electromagnetic frequencies to recognize that a similar phenomenon should be possible between more highly developed living fields such as two Aunihipilis. Indeed, for all those who do not have a closed mind to such occurrences, there is more than abundant data existing to confirm this phenomenon in the files of parapsychological research. And serious researchers have utilized field theory to explain these events although admitting that such events occur without reference to the law of inverse squares which applies to the known electromagnetic fields. Plant research has demonstrated this fact within the last three years. There is nothing but confirmation for the possibility of the accuracy of Huna. When Huna constructs are cast in the context of Field Theory, there is abundant data to suggest the validity of the Huna concepts and procedures.

(Our thanks to HRA Wayne Brown for giving us Huna in terms of Field Theory and helping us on to the next step. mfl.)

VIVAXIS discoveries depend almost entirely on the measuring ability of the Aunihipili to identify and understand the human energy field and its polarization. None of the things studied can be registered on electromagnetic measuring instruments. We appear to be dealing with some force or energy just a little different. Here the angle wire and pendulum are king. The authors of the book telling of the discoveries call the waves and circuits of the Vivaxis electromagnetic, and they may be, but they admit that no instruments other than the angle rods and pendulum will measure them and allow one to work with their own polarized field or pattern. However, in our discussion, as in theirs, the usual terms applied to electromagnetic forces will be used. In any event, the radiating lines of force, whatever they may be, come to points of sorts and are polarized there for a permanent pattern or field, the point of interest to us is the fetus and the place the birth. (Although every living thing seems equally endowed with its fixed pattern and placement.) It is suggested that our bones, being crystalline in structure, hold the polarization and pattern for us, always harking back to the birthplace. The kahunas had the shadowy bodies and they looked upon the umbilical cord as the tie connecting one with the birthplace.

WE SEEM TO HAVE BEFORE US FOR CONSIDERATION several kinds of energy or force. Or, it may be the same force doing different things in different ways. The classification of the forces is impossible at the present stage of the research, but we can perhaps understand things better if we try to divide the forces or energies as we know them at this time.

  1. We have the mana. It fills the body and the surrounding aura of the aka body, while at times it moves off along the aka threads to other people and to the Aumakua. This is the force in a static or stay put form. It takes on the natural polarization of the body, or it mingles with the force radiating from other places and also filling the body. The pendulum shows polarization with the circles it makes over the hand, counterclockwise for negative, and clockwise for positive. Test your left hand and you may get a negative circling of the pendulum over the palm and a positive over the back of the hand.
  2. We have the magnetic field that seems to spring into being automatically around man or stone or leaf the moment it becomes polarized, and practically all things are found in the polarized state. Water seems ideal as a material to hold the static mana and also to hold the polarized magnetic force. When frozen, it forms crystals aimed at the magnetic north and Mrs. Nixon says in her book that a needle placed between to blocks of ice frozen to 15 degrees below zero was magnetized. She supposes it was the ice that did it. (Riley Crabb, in the BSRA journal, tells of magnetizing plain water by running it from the tap slowly over a magnet, and of drinking the water with confidence that it was magnetized and bettered in several ways. This, of course, without the crystallization of ice.) How this field or charge differs from the electromagnetic force or from mana remains a mystery.
  3. Here we come to something else again. It seems to be force radiating from the earth and coming up through our feet, moving along the nerves, perhaps, and reaching various parts of the body to vitalize them. For some years we have been aware of such a force and a regular system called “Zone Therapy” has been worked out. The feet are examined for sore or tender spots, these said to show places where the life force rising from the earth to vitalize the body is blocked. Charts were made up to show where different sore spots caused different organs to suffer. The idea was to massage any sore spot and open the channel to a normal flow of force. Other people advocated walking with bare feet in the dewy grass of morning to get filled with the earth force.
  4. Add to the list of forces the one or two of Mrs. Nixon. First she tells us that she has learned to know the force she calls VIVAXIS, and then the force in some way connected with it and flowing from the direction of the place of birth. Unfortunately, her book is slightly confusing on the difference. She says that the Vivaxis is a something that may be vertical to us, running from Earth to sky through our bodies, but that to contact it and get it to re-polarize us, we have to find the horizontal direction of what seems to be the same Vivaxis and walk back and forth for ten feet several times, keeping the head and shoulders up and the right hand held away from the chest at about the height of the breast bone, feet well apart. The Vivaxis force, I gather, flows in a channel to and from one’s place of birth, but must be located with pendulum or angle rod first, before one can do the remedial walking and correct one’s polarization. X-rays are said to leave spots on the bones (which are of crystalline structure) where the Vivaxis is cut off and where a multitude of ills may develop. The Vivaxis is said to be below one if the birth place is at a lower altitude, and above one if higher. She tells of a young girl who has the distinction of having been the first to stand over her Vivaxis. She was born not far away and located her Vivaxis with an angle rod held in either hand. Hunting for her Vivaxis, she located it in a shed, for there the two rods crossed as she held them. I cannot decide, after studying the book, whether one is supposed to stand on one’s Vivaxis, or just face it when standing in the channel where the radiations flow.

That seems to account for all the types of force with which we are at this time working. The electromagnetic proper can be measured by sensitive instruments. The other life or earth forces are measured with angle rods or the pendulum.

In the book we are warned that many things can cause the angle rod to give the wrong reading – transformers nearby, large trees, houses, machines etc. We are also told that in searching for the “channel” in which the Vivaxis force flows back and forth from the place of birth, there is another earth force which flows east and west and which may be mistaken for the Vivaxis. One is advised to use a map and a compass to locate accurately the direction away from one of one’s birthplace. In my tests, according to a map, my birthplace north of Denver, Colorado seems to lie almost east, but just a little north. Here in August the sun is rising north of east, so it was quite natural that my channel would fall in a line to fit the east-west radiation, but just a little to the north, and that is what I seem to have  found.

I used two measuring devices, one a welding rod bent at right angles and cut so that the top or free swing part was about 8 1/2 inches long, while the part gripped by the hand and held with a sharpened point down, measured about 7 inches. In addition I used a ball swivel chain as instructed, taken from a bathroom basin, but removed the stopper, it being heavy and sluggish. As the chain was rather long, I tied a knot in the end to give it the proper pendulum form.

The book says one must wear nothing that restricts the body, no spectacles or hat, and not a bit of tight clothing. One touched the bare side of one’s thigh to “ground” oneself and carried pendulum or angle rod at high chest level before one, back straight and head up.

I went at 9:30 into my lower garden, fairly well away from the main house, but not too far from a wooden storehouse. It was level and no trees were nearer than 40 feet on my right, but one avocado tree of fair size was within 20 feet on my left. Hatless and without my glasses, I tried the pendulum, allowing about 40 seconds for the “time lag” to which I am accustomed, and getting s strong pendulum swing exactly back and forth in the direction of the sun. I tried the angle rod, and got a similar reaction. Turning slowly around the rod and chain both continued to turn to follow the sun. I moved fifty feet out into the garden, well away from a tree or building, and got the same swings.

Next, I put on my old straw hat, which is light and my glasses. I continued to “ground” myself through one layer of cloth – my light trousers. No change in the results was noted. I had received a letter from Jim Egan, of Thetis Island, up in Canada, telling me he knew Mrs. Nixon and her methods, and advising me that instead of grounding oneself with the free left hand, one could lift it also to chest level and hold it palm up under the sharpened point of the angle rod. (The swinging end was cut off square but the lower end ground to a dull point.) Testing this way of handling the dowsing rod, I was pleased to find that it seemed to work a trifle better than the “grounding” method. I walked back and forth, turning around at the end of the 10 to 12 foot walk, and always holding the rod before me. It tried to follow the east-west force flow as I slowly turned. I walked about 10 times.

Ten turns back and forth in the channel walk are mentioned in the book, but one is warned that the force of the Vivaxis kills germs and may kill good bacteria in the body, so a diet of yogurt is advised. Care is also urged, with the statement that we still know too little of the forces in use.

A little later in the day I again tried to find my channel, this time on a higher level and on the driveway in front of the house. There, with hat and glasses on, and with palm held under the point of the dowsing rod I found my channel still east and west. There was a very large pine tree close the the drive, and I found that it attracted the dowsing rod from about 10 feet away, and that the pull was stronger the nearer I got to the tree. Smaller avocado trees around seemed to make no difference, nor did my car, parked within 10 feet.

The book warns that a spectator can spoil the tests, and I had a chalice to test this. While I was working, my neighbor, and man of forty, dressed in hat and  shorts came up past the end of the drive and I went out to pass the time of day, also to explain that I was testing a dowsing rod. I tested it on him,  and found that at about four feet the rod swung in his direction. I had him turn away and got about the same result.

In the book we read that one watching the hunt for the Vivaxis or the walk in the channel may cause the test to fail. But we also read that the experiments of Mrs. Nixon were such that she helped others find their Vivaxis by placing a finger in the exact middle of the head, then using the dowsing rod to see which way the flow of force went for them. She warns one not to think concentrated thoughts while working with the Vivaxis, so it may be that with idle thoughts one can watch or come close to or even touch the one who is being lined up in the force channel.

Some people, so we are told, can hold up their hands at the level of the chest and feel the force, knowing from the “feel” when it is strongest and they are lined up with the Vivaxis.

Now we come to the important part   the beneficial uses of walking in the channel or Vivaxis flow to get one’s POLARIZATION restored if it is out of order or has been disrupted by X-ray treatment, which affects bones. One first gets lined up in the proper channel, then, to correct the X-ray effect, must put bending stress on the bone suspected of causing trouble.

In the book it is explained that because of its crystalline structure, a bone, when bent ever so slightly makes a tiny electromagnetic current. All bones are naturally polarized in the direction of the Vivaxis or birthplace. X-rays break up the natural polarization and ill health of many kinds in the neighborhood of the unbalanced part can result. Presto, walk in your channel, put bending stress on the X-rayed bone, and the Vivaxis restores the natural polarity … and soon, health.

Putting bending stress on bones was a problem which was solved with a pound bag of beans, named a “Betty Boonger” after the co-author of the book who hit on the idea of standing off a few feet (so as not to interfere with the flow of the Vivaxis) and swinging the bean bag on the end of a string, “bonging” the one under treatment on the bones in need of re-polarizing. It was explained that ribs were hard, especially with a heavy breasted woman. Nothing was said of bonging the jaw or cheek bones where X-rays of teeth had caused sinus and other troubles, but I suppose something was done. My idea is that, once one is lined up with a landmark or has stretched a line between two posts to follow, one need not keep the hands before one at chest level (or one hand touching the thigh to ground one). With the hands free, ribs could be pressed slightly and jaws and other bones pressed to put them under bending pressure. Also pelvis bones. Below that, the feet could be pressed with bending action on feet, ankles and legs.

The number of times one must take the ten turns back and forth in one’s channel to get re-polarized seems to vary. Sometimes the healing is accomplished in one or two sessions, sometimes after a long series of treatments.

On page 107 the author speaks of “chomping your teeth together while breathing deeply” or if the chest has been X-rayed instead of the jaw, “pressing on the breast bone” – all in connection with getting the polarization set right again. From this I surmise that the use of the bean bag on the string to strike the bones is not always in order.

There are many stories in the book of remarkable healings, and HRA Jim Egan, in his letter, tells me that the cures have been many and remarkable. My tentative opinion is that Mrs. Nixon and her friends have made some valuable discoveries. I suggest that you get the book, and can now give you the price. It is $5.25 and you can buy that amount in Canadian money if you go to your post office for a money order (speaking for USA) Send to Abbey Book Publishers, Box 32, Station J, 685 Danforth Ave, Toronto 6, Canada. The book tide is Vivaxis.

Not everyone can use a pendulum or angle rod, but we can help others, and in groups especially, by having those good with the instruments assist others who can not find their channel and Vivaxis. I have barely begun my own experiments, but will continue testing. I have had chest X-rays and numerous X-rays for dental purposes in the past, some dental pictures quite recently. By taking a short walk in my channel daily, I may find that I am getting some of my Charley horses fixed up. If you join in the testing, let me know how you make out. I will report again later. Meantime, may I tender our thanks to the originators of the system for what seems to be a unique and carefully carried out program of exploration.

THE GROUPS ARE GRADUALLY GROWING IN NUMBER so that we now have 12 in all. Some are small, but they count. We also have the promise of another group or two to be set going when the summer is over. HRA Faith Johnson, in Johannesburg, So. Africa, cheers me greatly with her enthusiastic reception of the Short Talk tapes. She writes, “The lectures are absolutely INSPIRED, so clear, so excitingly practical, and – to me – overwhelming, that I was completely silenced, and did not know how to knock out a letter to thank you and your Aumakua who must have been behind you every step of the way.”

WILLIAM GLOVER, of the Glendale, Calif. two groups, has reported by tape on his group and how it is carrying on the healing circle. If I can get a master tape copy from his cassette, I’ll dub off additional copies to send around. He also recorded for me his rendition of the story of the little Adams and Eves which I wrote for children a year ago, and which he tells about once a week to his small daughter. He tells the story well. He suggests that I make and mimeograph a list of the leaders of the several groups and send the list around so that they can get acquainted, and if possible, visit back and.forth. I will try to do this, but unless he has better luck getting letters and reports of activities than I do, he may be corresponding on a one way track.

BEYOND MAGAZINE, similar to Fate, but a little farther out and more open, has given Huna and the Groups nice notice and a few inquiries have resulted. The editor is Keith Ayling, and he promises an illustrated article on Huna soon. ($5.00 a year. Address, BEYOND, 3 Kuhl Avenue, Hicksville, NY, 11801. A frequent news letter is also sent out, giving late news of flying saucers and other exciting items.) Mr. Ayling has attended some of Mrs. Jack Becker’s group meetings in Long Beach, NY, and reports a very mixed assortment of people attending. She ran ads.

THE PSYCHOMETRIC ANALYSIS EXCHANGE CLUB is temporarily held up in its activities, sorry to have to say. Jack Ezratty (1600 Howard Ave., San Carlos, Calif. 94070, if you need to know again) who makes the readings for comparison with other HRAs, had an accident in which his elbow was injured so that his pendulum does not function. He reports that they had a few calls for reading comparisons. Later on, when the elbow is healed, they plan to continue the work. Shirley corresponds and reports some response.

THE TELEPATHIC MUTUAL HEALING GROUP work has got out of hand, with so many strangers asking for the help of the group in Huna type prayer that the older names on the list have had to be dropped. The rule of a report every 30 days is going to have to be stayed with to prevent overcrowding. Fresh requests from those who are not members of the HRA or the new tape groups and their healing circles will have to be turned away.

HRA WILLIAM BOONE, who has been specializing on psychic treatment for the removal of blocks and eating companions, has had much success but cannot be imposed on for help for other than members of our own organization. Moreover, correspondence covering these outsiders will have to be curtailed. There are many other places where requests may be placed for prayers. Sit in at 3 and 7 PM if you can and send mana to the Great Company. The power runs strong I feel. Daylight saving time is due for its change in no long time. We adjust to fit it. By the way, HRA Boone may be reached during most business hours at phone 463-4122. A new group is beginning or is rather well along for Sunday nights, but still another running of the tapes probably will follow for those interested San Diego, (Calif.) residents.

BOOK REVIEW

The Manifestations of Christ Universal by Francis Rolt Wheeler, PhD, of England, but written in French in the form of a series of lessons, and translated by Robert W. Wilson, LL.B, is of especial value to the student who prefers to believe in the historicity of Jesus, and that the worship accorded to him over the centuries has made him “Universal Christ”, or a spiritual force in its own right. The lessons range back and forth over the Old and New Testaments and eventually enter the field of Comparative Religion. The book is run from typed sheets but is well done. This very scholarly and helpful work is in 14 lessons and one medium size paperback. If this sounds to be up your alley and you wish a copy, let me know. The price is $3.

TAPE GROUP LEADERS are urgently requested to report so that a list of active groups can be made up. Please tell me what is being done, whether you have a healing circle started, what your phone number is, and when you meet, also if your group is open to new members now or whether a new group will be started to accommodate those desiring to join. Give any added details which may be of interest. If yours is a study group or the tapes have been played to members of some other group and is not meeting on its own, this will be of interest also. Tapes are in hand and may be had on loan if there is an opening. Many with only one or two friends have asked for the tapes, then dub off copies and return them. It is all excellent as it spreads the knowledge of Huna, and one never knows when such a small group may develop into a larger one. Try finding members’ Vivaxis for interest. Use compass and map to point to places of birth and try to see if pendulum or angle rod will tell you where it is. (I just found mine was well north of the east-west swing, and adjusted.) MFL
