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

LETTER BULLETIN

This is a “letter bulletin” to a large extent, even if only a few of your letters can be used in our limited space. I have on hand, with special parts marked with my red pencil, enough letter material to make a book of excellent comments on Huna, on experiments with its use and with reports on healing attempts and results. Personal experiences which would be fascinating reading, have reluctantly been put aside because they do not bear directly on our testing of Huna as a philosophy and as a set of methods not yet fully understood.

MY VACATION WAS A GREAT SUCCESS

We had three days camping in Oak Creek Canyon south of Flagstaff, Ariz., in the cozy bottom of a deep canyon with red walls, a rushing stream and trees of many kinds. Three more days were spent on the rim of the Grand Canyon, high up, and looking down into the great depths. The sight of moonlight filling the canyon with misty forms was an unforgettable experience with the sensing of a strange pervading personality. One realizes why the Indians believed in gods of many kinds presiding over mountains, canyons and rivers. Huna would say that entities of the Aumakua level presided over “nature” in its various aspects, perhaps non-human, perhaps na Aumakua in the apprentice stage learning to become “Utterly Trustworthy.” Read more

THANKS AND MORE THANKS for all the good letters of the past two weeks and the continued response to the call to support the fire-walking booklet publication project with orders – also for the help sent for Cigbo and his cigar box.

THE LETTERS have been unusually fine and the reports and comments in them would make several good Bulletins. Despite vacation time and the heat, the experimentation has gone steadily forward. Some HRAs who have been delayed in starting the box or pendulum tests have come in belatedly with significant findings. Much of this Bulletin will be given over to parts of these letters. Read more

FIRE-WALKING FROM THE INSIDE

FIREWALKING FROM THE INSIDE, by Arii-Peu Tama-Iti (our own HRA Charles W. Kenn) came through with flying colors, thanks to the fine rush of last minute response for advance payment for previous orders, and your copy, if you sent in for one, should now be in your hands. Extra copies are available at the price of $1.10 post paid, ($1.13 in California. In fact the 32 tax has been paid through our HRA printer on the edition because delivery was taken in Los Angeles), The stiff backs will cost about $0.65 additional, and will be announced later for those wishing to give copies to libraries.

FIRE-WALKING

PROGRESS REPORT ON THE FIRE-WALKING BOOKLET: My warmest and heartiest thanks to all of you who have so quickly responded to the call in the last Bulletin for help by way of sending your payment in advance for the booklet ordered earlier. It was ALL my fault. I let Cigbo say on his order form sent out weeks ago, “… about. $1.10 contribution (per copy) … when they are ready.” Read more

THE PROGRESS OF THE FIRE-WALKING BOOKLET

The type is all set and it ran 44 pages. Our booklet is to be 5×3 inches in size, and our printer, HRA Franklin Thomas, is waiting until Cigbo can supply enough money from advance payments on the orders to allow the cuts for the illustrations to be ordered.

Less than $100 has come in although 278 booklets have been ordered. If the response by way of advance payments does not pick up immediately after this Bulletin is sent out, plans will be radically changed. Only enough copies will be printed for those who have sent in their payment, and the plan to have half-tone cuts and a larger edition to give extras for HRAs still to come, will have to be dropped. For illustrations for such a small edition I will borrow the original negatives from Mr. Hu, the photographer who made the pictures of the firewalk, and rig up a darkroom so that I can print photographs to go with the books as illustrations. My face is very red. Mr. Kenn’s is pink, and CIGBO’S is almost purple from trying to scratch up the missing $200 from his splinter-bottomed cigar box. Read more

THE REPORTS ON BOX AND PENDULUM EXPERIMENTS

The reports on box and pendulum experiments have been coming in steadily and it is increasingly evident that we are opening up a new part of the amazing field of pendology and supra-normal sensory mechanisms.

It is to be hoped that we may be able to develop a test with the pendulum for charges of the middle voltage of mana used by the conscious Auhane and even for the voltage used by the na Aumakua. We may even find a way to test for the return flow of Mana Loa. Let’s keep these possibilities in mind and see what we can do to invent such tests. Read more

CHARLES W. KENN

Charles W. Kenn arrived in Los Angeles on May 23rd, as planned, and brought with him the copy for the firewalking report booklet – also a mass of fascinating material that fairly cries to be included but for which there is no room. With a simple directness that is far more impressive than any effort to impress, he has laid before us the findings of the testing of the fire-magic. He has offered no fancy theories, but what he has to tell, after being initiated into the art, leaves one gasping mentally. Read more
