January, 1960

“THE MEN WHO RIDE IN SAUCERS” article by Max B. Miller in the February, 1960, issue of FATE magazine, will supply us with the pictures this month on which to make psychometric analysis practice and comparison readings. The article in question is on page 32 for the start, and runs through page 38. Allowing for the transfer of aka threads and the possible psychometric contact with the wrong person when using the photo reproductions as the basis for the reading, check tests may be made. It must always be kept in mind that the reading I give is possibly wrong and for this reason calls for checking by all hands, and reports on variations. Recently, by the way, I  made a reading on two people who crashed in a small plane and were, no one seems to doubt, killed a few months back. I could get no counterclockwise circle of the pendulum over the picture of the woman, although I got one at once over the picture of the man. In all honesty I had to report what my Aunihipili gave me, but ventured the opinion that my “George” was feeling too gallant to report such a tragic happening where a lady was concerned. Not only had you HRAs who are making P.A. readings better watch your step, BUT you had better help me watch mine as well.

THE FIRST reading to check is for Mr. Daniel W. Fry, who is described as the vice president of an engineering and manufacturing company in El Monte, California. He reports that he made contact in 1950 with saucer people who took him for a ride to New York and back in about thirty minutes. He has written a book about his experiences and lectures on Flying Saucers betimes. His reading, as I get it, is:

Pictured also on the same page is Kelvin Rowe, described as a “contactee” who operates a bulldozer and claims to have been to outer space more than 350 times. He says most of the others who report such experiences are liars. For his reading I get:

THE NEXT READING is for the gentleman on page 35, Orfeo Angelucci, who also writes and lectures about his experiences with saucer people and their saucers. I make his reading:

GOING BACK TO PAGE 33, we find the organizer of a Saucer Study group, Richard T. Miller, said to distribute tapes of messages from the saucer people received from various “contactees.” I read:

ON PAGE 37 we find a young woman, Angel McCall, who attended the saucer convention as “Miss Venus.” Just to what extent she goes in for saucers and space travel was not stated. At any rate she was given a P.A. reading, and the outcome was surprising:  (no circle reading at all!)

To sum up and compare the readings, the first thing that stands out is the trident “will pattern” for all but the lady. In our code, this indicates probable response to spirits of the Auhane level. This influence could be anything from good to bad or show great “will” and determination in sticking with a story despite all doubters.

The second similarity is to be found in a comparison of the personality circle or reading for the Aunihipili. Daniel Frey gives me a circle which slowly changes its axis and which is not normally round, however, it is clockwise and so indicates constructive or good drives. I would expect him to be a man of many changes of moods.

Kelvin Rowe, in sharp contrast with Mr. Fry, has a very small and weak “personality circle” which is counter clockwise and, if we follow our code, this would indicate a destructive tendency on the part of the Aunihipili. In accusing others of being liars, his reading would indicate that he may not have his own skirts clean.

Orfeo Angelucci has a “personality circle” which, like that of Mr. Fry, changes axis during my reading, but remains clockwise and so constructive.

Richard T. Miller gives a “personality circle” which is also very small and weak, but it is clockwise and constructive.

Angel McCall gives no “personality circle” at all and her “will pattern” is not a trident, just a very wide “V” indicating one very easily influenced for either good or evil. With such a strange reading, she would seem the most likely one to be from Venus. She is to appear in a musical called “From Venus With Love” we are told in the article. It will be interesting to follow her career and see what she accomplishes.

The degree readings are most interesting, ranging from 294 for Mr Angelucci to 326 for Mr. Rowe, 325 for Mr. Fry, 321 for Mr. Miller and 312 for “Miss Venus.” It would seem that this gives us the general degree range or level for those who ride in saucers, make contacts with saucer people or otherwise take part in the fun and write and lecture about their experiences. On the other hand, the readings I have made of a few of the writers who have claimed no actual meetings with the saucer folk, but who studiously try to analyze the current reports and make some sense of the many contradictory claims, have all been much higher, usually of the degree level of the good reporters, from 360 to 370.

My general conclusion is that there may be spirits(or saucer entities) strongly influencing (at least at times) the people who claim contacts with the visitors from outer space or to have ridden in saucers. What do you get in your readings?

FATE magazine, which we will use for our check P.A. readings of photo reproductions, is seldom found on smaller news stands, but may be subscribed to at the rate of $3.50 the year for U.S.A. or $4.00 for other countries. The address is, Clark Publishing Co., 845 Chicago Ave., Evanston, Ill., U.S.A. Several have written to object to the use of TIME magazine as a source of test pictures. The main objection is that the writers do not read TIME because they dislike its political slant. FATE may not be perfect, but so far as I can see, it has no political ax to grind. It is a very interesting journal and one of the chief outlets for information which the Press of the land does not consider as having news value. I particularly like the monthly report headed “I SEE BY THE PAPERS,” in which items from far and wide are passed on to the reader. In the February issue, for example, I find a very interesting report on experiments being conducted to see if hypnotic suggestion can really cause warts to vanish. At the University of Aberdeen in Scotland, subjects were hunted out who had similar warts on both sides of the body. One side was treated with suggestion, but not the other. The warts on the treated side vanished while the ones on the opposite side remained as they were. These tests are most significant, and had it not been for FATE, I might never have learned of them. If, as is believed, a virus causes warts, then the next step is to see what other diseases caused in a similar way may be cured by suggestion.

The next item was a comment on an article in the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, in which a recognized authority on tidal waves has reported finding that down the years, about once each century, a great tidal wave strikes at some place in the world and kills a large number of people. He does not say what he thinks causes such waves, but suspects movements in the ocean floor. The last such tidal wave came in 1876 and killed some 200,000 persons on the shores of the Bay of Bengal.

Next is a report that our newest nuclear submarine, the SEA DRAGON, hit some unidentified object on her trial run and caused considerable damage to the propeller and possibly the hull. It seems that the first guess that a whale had been hit was later given up. The damage was too great to be caused by any known kind of whale.

A study is reported of the effects of certain mushrooms which cause mental disturbances. (There is a growing list of drugs and chemicals which produce conditions which resemble in some ways the various conditions which have come to be associated with different types of insanity.)

A Catholic church is mentioned in Warsaw where a halo was said to have appeared around the head of a statue of the Virgin and a strange glow of light now appears around the steeple. Gov. Williams of Michigan was traveling there and went with his wife to see what might be seen. In a letter he reported that the glow was easy to see but not to explain.

Three most interesting and provocative items have to do with what appears to be Aunihipili spirit activities — that of “poltergeists.” In one instance, long investigation failed to show a reason for the explosion of milk bottles in a home refrigerator. If the paper milk bottles were used to replace those of glass, they were ripped explosively from top to bottom. One investigator saw a temperature rise of five degrees in a bottle of milk in five minutes, when the rise should have been nil. The temperature then dropped to normal. (Reminds one of fire immunity.)

IT SEEMS that PREDICTION is the order of the day, now that a new year has arrived. Several of the HRAs have written in to comment upon the prediction made in the last issue of HUNA VISTAS accomplished via a laying out of the Tarot Cards in my special manner. I appear to have competition. My card reading indicated that all would be rather good for U.S.A. in 1960, and that business activities were to be to the fore, while many of the past fears and difficulties would cease to worry us so much. I have been reminded:

THAT WITHIN FIVE YEARS all would go to the demnation bow wows on planet Earth and that the Saucer People would have to come in great swarms to pick up those of us worth the saving and take us to some safer place, supposedly on some planet with an exact duplication of our temperature, atmosphere and atmospheric pressures, to say nothing of gravitational pull. While I would not think of contradicting all the great prophets of the day who tell us these things, I may be excused if I mutter “Nuts!” in my beard and wonder why in Sam Hill the all-knowing prophets and profits do not get together on their predictions instead of contradicting what the other fellow writes.

THAT BY 1962 the Millennium or its equal will be here.

THAT BY 1961 we will have a revolution in U.S.A in which Big Business will have the final battle with Big Labor, and all the unorganized “little people” will get it in the neck as bystanders.

THAT RED RUSSIA will soon take over and that we will see a dictatorship in U.S.A. which will last three years. (What Russia could possibly want that would cause her to shoulder our political and economic mess, even for three years, no one seems to have said out loud.) THAT SOMEONE UNNAMED will suddenly become dictator in U.S.A. and begin a strange effort to get the nation to unite for one great effort to survive.

ETC., ETC. and ETC. I refuse to give an inch. Others may stick to their guns, but I will stick to my cards, even if some of my good friends make no bones about NOT liking Tarot Cards or much of anything connected with them. One thing about ME and MY predictions via the cards, which gives me the edge on all of the other predictors is that I always have it understood before I even make the first shuffle of the pack that if what I predict does not come true, I WILL RUN THE CARDS AND PREDICT ALL OVER AGAIN. Ever hear of any of those other predictors taking back a prediction or offering to refund on them as defective in material or workmanship? By the way, perhaps some of you who do not like the Tarot might like the ancient Chinese “I King” (or Ging or Ching, or however you prefer). I have it in two books, each filled with double talk type of passages. One tosses the sticks or three pennies to calculate from the fall which of the many passages must be turned to and read to give a basis for interpreting the message relating to the future. For instance, one takes a passage like the following to work out the answer to a question, “contemplation of my life decides my choice between advance and retreat.” Or you might get this one, “His feet are fastened in the stocks so that his toes disappear. No blame.” (Gazing into a crystal ball may have more appeal. Simplest approach is to carry a rabbit’s foot.)

YOU WERE RIGHT!

The prediction you made when reading the end of the preceding page came true almost instantly! Cigbo DID discover almost at once that “predictor” was not right. He lectures me and says, “All Peedictions has gota be and/or, not and/er, not even and/if.” Now we are all prophets in our own rights. Cigbo takes the blame as usual, and takes this opportunity to make his New Years prediction, which is, “A kat will be the frist to land on the moon and be able to live there because there will be milk in his saucer every time the COW JUMPS OVER THE MOON.” He bases his prediction on probabilities, the “COW” being a proven fact that even the children accept, regardless of the fact that we adults refuse to believe anything that comes from behind the Iron Curtain about such silly ideas as rockets reaching the moon.

WHAT EVER BECAME OF DIANETICS?

asks an Australian HRA who has just come into the Huna fold and who has been going through a set of the bound books of the HRA Bulletins, (which have been re-run and are again available, all 128 of them).

I must confess that I really do not know. Dianetics became tied up when a financial backer took over, so the originator, L. Ron Hubbard, invented a new set of “techniques” and changed the name to “SCIENTOLOGY.” This was at least five years back. Every year or so Mr. Hubbard announced a new and vital discovery which would change the methods used to “clear” subjects or patients, and offered to teach the new “techniques” to all and sundry who would pay a fee ranging from $450 to $500. He gave degrees to those who took his new courses of instruction, and then, at a later time, seems to have canceled the degrees and disowned the former students when they did not take the new courses.

A December 11, 1959 circular letter (copyrighted) is on my desk announcing still another “technique” and course, this time to be had at the bargain price of $450.00. The course seems to be offered in England and Australia as well as at Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles. Where L. Ron is not present to give the lectures to accompany the new instructions, tapes of his lectures are run.

Frankly, I have not kept up with all the changes in the invented vocabulary used to tell one how to get to be a “clear” or to make one, or to rise to the great heights at which one does something important about the “Thetan.” I do not know whether or not something of practical value has come out of the years of “fuss and feathers.” In the sheet before me, L. Ron says that he has taken nearly ten years to build this “bridge” and that now he is sure that it will stand all loads and stresses.

What do I think? I think that next year we will see a brand new set of “techniques” announced and offered at the usual price of around $450 to all who have the money and are willing to go along. From the Huna point of view, L. Ron’s basic theories are partly right and partly absurd, as to a kahuna his “Thetan” would certainly appear in trying to take the place of the Father Mother Aumakua.

COSMOPOLITAN magazine for January is largely given over to articles covering all facets of “the UNKNOWN.” Most entertaining discussions of spirits, dreams, ghosts, ESP, astrology, the effect of drugs on the mind, Lost Atlantis, mysterious monsters and modern searchers into the tangled field. The issue makes a good introduction to the “occult” when handed to a doubting friend.

TARO CARD SYMBOLOGY – Initiatory Units Five & Six

THE LODGE OF A.O. HRA TARO WILL NOW BE OPENED. The pack is laid upon the central altar. The Lighter of the Lamp has given up trying. All members in good standing have managed to get through the door by whispering the password to the Doorkeeper, who is Cigbo, and who responds proudly with a meow. Only a few seats are vacant. The costumes which the members have put on for the session are very colorful and many a robe is decorated by a set of symbols so ancient and mysteriously mystical that no one now living has the slightest idea of their meaning. The Exalted, Worshipful, Rev. Dr. Ph.D., Grand Past and Present and Future Master for the evening is again Old High Card. He is resplendent in a silvery robe trimmed with plastic moonbeams. He comes to stand before the altar and bows deeply in reverence before the pack, hands clasped low before him, his lips moving silently as he whispers the unspeakable Word.

THE HRA IN THE CHAIR OF TREMENDOUS GRAND MISTRESS rises with a frown. “WHAT did you say?” she demands. “Aren’t we all being initiated, and aren’t we all entitled to know what the unspeakable Word is? I think we should be told.”

Ol’ High Card looks worried. “I quite agree,” he admits.

T.G.M. “Then out with it! What are you hesitating for?”

O.H.C. “As a matter of fact, I don’t know the unspeakable Word. But every Lodge and Religion is supposed to have one, I am sure of that. When you saw my lips move, I was, really just saying to myself, “I wonder where the HRAs are who went off to become chelas last month under the guidance of the ‘Council of Masters!’”

THERE IS A COMMOTION at the outer door. Cigbo is heard answering as the password is given. The missing members march somberly in.

Cigbo grabs his box and begins rushing around to make a quick collection, explaining that a fatted calf must be supplied instantly before the Prodigal Sons and Daughters can be properly welcomed home to the Lodge. His project meets a cool reception. He inspects a button and three Green Trading Stamps as he retreats, muttering in his beard.

The HRA who is filling the chair of THISANDTHAT for the evening, rises. “I move that we toss them out as Huna heretics instead of treating them as Prodigal Sons.”

The HRA filling the chair of GRAND UNDER AND OVER DOG, rises. “Just a moment. Isn’t Huna a religion? At least, wasn’t it the only religion they had in Polynesia? Sure it was and is. And, I wish to ask, HOW CAN ANY RELIGION be given proper respect unless it has at least a few heretics? I vote that we welcome them back.”

There is a glad murmur of agreement. Hands are shaken and the seats are filled. One of the Heretics explains, “Something went wrong. The ads have stopped running and I imagine none of us was sincere enough to meet the qualifications.”

Another HRA rises and holds up a copy of the January FATE. “I saw this ad for a book all about the GREAT FLOOD which is about to come when the poles flip. I answered and my letter came back stamped by the postal inspector or someone, ‘out of business.’ In the ad it said some government people had been asking a lot of questions, but that the author of the book thought he had them quieted. Perhaps the Council of Masters had that happen to them. A letter from the ABERREE suggests they might have even suffered demise.”

THE FIFTH AND SIXTH DEGREE of the Taro presentation is now undertaken by Ol’ High Card, no one else being in the mood for the task at the moment. He produces a small sign and hangs it on the front of the central altar. It reads, YOUR GUESS IS AS GOOD AS MINE.” A member rises and says, “I can’t accept the dogma you promulgated without authority that kalo, in Hawaiian, equates with Tarot — that is, the name of the cards. I feel rather certain that the Polynesians, even if they once did live in North Africa, never knew about the Tarot Cards or had anything to do with the pictures or symbols.”

O.H.C. “We’ll never get anywhere in creating a Lodge if we are not allowed a few dogmas. However, we cannot get along without having members who will make the careful and suspicious examination which is needed as every smallest item of possible information is offered. I suggest that beside the Heretics we place chairs for any who wish to join what we might call, THE A.O. HRA TARO LOYAL OPPOSITION. I further suggest that the Heretics be awarded sole possession of the 33rd degree, and these of the Opposition the possession of the 34th degree, with authority to add to their official signatures their degree in order to identify themselves.”

ENGLISH MEMBERS, “HEAR, HEAR!” Doorkeeper, “MEOW!”

C.H.C. “As we are all agreed, so be it. And now, as Cigbo gave us all the 5th Degree as a Christmas present, let us consider its work as a part of the 6th Degree. If all members will produce the illustrations of the cards, we will consider the possible initiatory significance of the symbols of the last row of three cards as they fall when the majors are spread according to the secret numerical addition of values method. It will be remembered that this method and this way of laying out the majors was part of the work of the earlier degrees. All members who have forgotten, or who failed to read their copies of HUNA VISTAS, may have their choice of pretending to remember or of going to the foot of the class.” (No one moves, but several members seem to be struggling to recall where they had placed their copies of the official organ of the Lodge, planning to take time to read them when several had accumulated.)

O.H.C. TURNS TO THE ALTAR AND SELECTS FROM THE PACK: THE EMPRESS III,
THE HANGED MAN XII, THE WORLD XXI

He holds them up for all to see. “These cards are from the pack designed by Waite and drawn by Pamela Smith. We have elected to use this pack for the time being. Please note that the numbers of these cards, when changed to Arabic, and when the figures of each number are added together, give us the number 3, causing us to lay these cards together in the order of their added number values. This close association of the three cards suggests a sequence of secret meanings and, as we read usually from left to right, we expect the EMPRESS to start the parade of meanings as from the low point of growth and the HANGED MAN to carry the progress a step farther, while the WORLD should give us the end of the growth or evolution in terms of wider knowledge, and of the sequence. We also watch to see whether or not the originators of the symbols, as they are placed together on these cards, are repeating truths or such dogmas as they believed to embody truths.

“AS YOU ALL SHOULD NOW KNOW, this sequence or order of these three cards does not seem to be known by any of the many writers of books who try to explain what the symbolic meaning of the majors may be. A study of the layout indicated by the numbering of the cards with the Roman numerals, will show no sequence of hidden meaning,  although such a sequence has often been pulled and hauled into a semblance of form and order by relating the several cards to Astrology, Numerology and the Cabala of the Jews. For instance, there is, on the face of the association, no relationship between the HIGH PRIESTESS II, and the EMPRESS III, which follows. The very natural and apparent relationship of the Empress and the following Emperor IV, on the other hand, seems what one would expect to find. But, following the Emperor IV, comes THE HIEROPHANT V who is the high priest one would expect to be placed following the High Priestess II. In the order as given in the card numbering, there is no sequence to be seen. But in the secret order which we use in our Lodge, the sequence is not only a repetition of the evolutionary progress of the top line of three cards, (The Magician I, the Wheel of Fortune X and The Sun XIX) but is a clear presentation which seems to have been planned to prevent initiates (such as we hope to become) from missing the hidden meaning. Let us now look for the hidden meanings in relation to the sequence.

“The EMPRESS III: Here we have a woman wearing a crown of stars and holding a scepter said to embody the symbol of Venus, the Goddess of Love. The symbol is unmistakably duplicated in the heart by the side of her throne, the heart enclosing the symbol of Venus, which is also one of the union of the sexes for creative purposes on the PHYSICAL LEVEL ONLY. On the robe of the woman we see pictured fruit, and at her feet we see ripe grain. This gives us the symbol of the creative activity of the human being on the physical level, the picture of it in its highest and most perfect physical stage of growth or evolution. The Empress insures the fact that this is the highest growth level for this stage.

“The HANGED MAN XII (giving a 3 value): “To the uninitiated there would seem no possible relation between the idea of an empress and a man oddly suspended on a strange “T” cross by one foot. In the outer or natural numerical order of the cards, the Hanged Man follows the card of JUSTICE XI, and this appears to be a placing planned by the Taro originators to fool the outsider. In all truth, it has fooled practically every writer on the meanings of the card. They happily decide that Justice is the judge who has tried the culprit and had him hung up by one foot to punish him. As the following card is DEATH XIII, many conclude that the association of the three cards in the ordinary order indicates that death must result from the punishment unless the culprit reforms and comes to realize the necessity of developing a sense of spiritual values.

“Much has been said and written about the crossed legs of the Hanged Man forming a triangle point down, and standing, supposedly for the culprit’s deep immersion in sinful physical level matter. The triangle formed by the arms, of his own volition, is point up, and this, together with the halo of light around the head, is said to indicate that the punished man has awakened to spiritual values. Oddly enough, this explanation of the symbols fits very nicely the version we budding initiates must give if we consider the card one of a sequence or series in which orderly evolution is depicted. We see in the Empress the stage in which physical perfection is reached. In Huna terms we would say that in this stage the man is not yet aware of the existence of the Aumakua. He may have his many gods and saviors, but he does not yet know the Aumakua as a very part of his composition. He functions under Mother Nature as a good Aunihipili-Auhane unit. But, in the course of growth, he finds that physical things are not enough. His mind begins to function, as the halo around the head in the symbol suggests, and he realizes that there must be something higher and very much worth finding out about. He begins to grow, and in the second stage of the upward journey on the ‘path’ (la or ala, in the Hawaiian) at last, perhaps at the cost of sacrifice of some physical pleasures (such as might be found in indulging in hates and doing hurts to others, greedily taking from others, and the like), he comes to be fully aware of the verity of the Aumakua.

“The ‘T’ shaped cross or tree from which the Hanged Man is suspended has come in for much learned discussion and much leading of the blind by the blind leaders of their choice. The Cabala is dragged in by picturing several knots or hacked off branches on the ‘tree.’ The leaves on the tree are likewise numbered and used, and some say the leaves are of a vine, indicating the fact that the man suspended by the foot must overcome, first of all, the urges of sex, these often being considered as the very essence of sin. The Huna explanation of the ‘cross’ as a symbol used in secret orders, is that one is hampered in his growth by the complex or by inviting the influence of  ‘eating companions.’ One is symbolically crucified by the complexes and by tolerated evil spirits. One must come to recognize these hampering things before one can come down from the cross. If he dies while not yet freed, he must be ‘resurrected’ in a new body to continue the process of growth in which more and more insight is gained, until full contact is made with the Aumakua.

“As to the repetition of information already given by the cards as laid out above in our illustration, the most striking example is probably that of the meaning of reincarnation in the JUDGMENT XX card on the line preceding. Less striking is the repetition in the card, JUSTICE XI, in which a balancing of good and evil can very well stand for the bad complexed or spirit-influenced state as against the good condition in which the individual is able to see clearly and act in keeping with the rational decisions he may reach. Only when such a ’saved’ condition has been attained, can one become ready to meet and blend with the ’soul mate’ to form an Aumakua PARENTAL PAIR,  a state symbolized in the black and white pillars behind the HIGH PRIESTESS II, and in the SUN XIX of the top line where the sun has the male and female rays and the child on the white horse (of the freed lesser selves) is often depicted as a pair of children. In the MAGICIAN I, we see the candle which is lighted at both ends held high, and this symbolizes the conjoined male and female units of consciousness united in the guiding Aumakua who stands as guardian over the Aunihipili-Auhane pair to help and to wait as they evolve and grow in experience and understanding. The WHEEL OF FORTUNE X, in the top line lays stress on the whole of the evolutionary process from the animal world of the Aunihipili through the growth of the Auhane and the final step upward to the Aumakua level. It is check and double check.

THE WORLD XXI. “This last of the three cards in the third line of threes of our secret layout is also the last card of the majors of the pack when we follow the order indicated by the Roman numbers. Most writers tend to feel that it must indicate a finishing point for a series of symbolized teachings, but they do a very poor job of making the card sum up and round off a great body of truths. Many are content to give it an astrological meaning and to let it go at that. Others stretch the necessary points to make it fit their idea of the Cabala. A.E. Waite, who originated this design, either purposely quotes a jumble of contradictory ideas from earlier French writers to hide the real secret meaning from the uninitiated, or he shows that he was not, himself, an initiate as we of our Lodge would describe one. He makes one wonder just how he could have designed this pack and kept the symbols so nearly correct. (At least correct to those of us who have a knowledge of the ancient Huna system to bring to bear on the matter.)

“The four animal or bird or human heads around the oval wreath, supposedly standing for the final and ultimate victory of growth, have been given no end of explanations. Some say they are the four symbols of the Apocalypse and Ezekiel’s vision. Some try to fit them in with signs of the zodiac and an astrological significance. Some count the card as numbered XXII and give the FOOL the place of Number XXI, explaining that this makes the card meaning fit the Cabalistic scheme much better. A few look upon the figure of the woman inside the wreath as Mother Nature at her best, and some assign to the symbol the meaning of a higher spiritual development. The older cards showed but one double-flamed candle in the left hand of the woman, and that would do very well to stand for the combination of male and female elements which we learn via Huna is the final step in making an Aumakua Pair. But our pack gives us the candle symbol in both hands suggesting that a multiple union of males and females takes place which is not so clear. If we look to Huna, we find the evolution of the Aunihipili makes of it, given time, a Auhane. It is only the Auhane which steps up a level to become an Aumakua. Perhaps Mr. Waite did not see this clearly, if at all, in designing the deck.

“In any event, the female figure floating in air in the center of the great wreath of triumph should be neither male nor female to fit the deeper significance. The two small children with hands joined in union of the early SUN XIX card would better give the symbol of the union of male and female to make the Aumakua Pair. The crossed legs of the figure on old and new cards alike, may be the symbol of a mixing of the two selves, but it is a poor one. The winding scarf dressing the figure in our cards can stand for the spiral of growth which has three stages, one for each step upward taken by the Aunihipili as it becomes a Auhane and, finally, one half of a Aumakua.

For our purposes, we have here the deep significance of the Huna belief that each of us must grow to be ready, eventually, to qualify as an ‘utterly trustworthy’ half of a Parental Pair. We are allowed to glimpse the shining goal in which can be seen the perfect and ideal love for which all yearn, and which we must learn to offer if we are to receive it in turn. On the long upward path of growth we strive so often to find and to express this perfect love which allows no sword to lie between to cause a cutting apart into separateness. We suffer and give up the quest, only to find that it never dies within us. We must go on.”

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.

WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR MIDDLE NAME?

This question has come to me so often that it may be of interest to others to know. When I was an infant, I was to be named after a grandfather, always known to his friends as “Mac” for MacCoy Long, but as a nickname was not very elegant. Also as I might be confused with my grandfather, I was called “Max.” The middle name, “Freedom,” was given to me as a heritage from an uncle of that name – on the Diffendarfer, my mother’s, side of the family. Uncle Freedom had been born in Civil War times and had been given his name in honor of the freeing of the slaves which was done by proclamation by President Lincoln at about the time of my uncle’s birth. Many years later, when I tried my hand at writing murder mysteries, I signed them “Max Long,” and, when I came to write about na kahuna, not wanting to get the two lines of writing mixed up, I signed the Huna books Max Freedom Long.

Perhaps, now that we have found Huna hidden in the teachings of Jesus, the middle name can assume a bit of significance in so far as a new freedom from the present churchly mass of dogmatic beliefs may be offered. Personally, the freedom from the old dogmas was long since attained simply by refusing to accept them. However, there are many still held and hampered by the ideas that were injected into Christianity, and who would be much more clear-seeing if they could be freed and given back the teachings as they were originally presented. Slogan: “Freedom through Huna” what?

THE TEST FOR DOGMA has been lacking for centuries. Men have been unable to decide what belonged in Christianity and what did not. Now that we have Huna for our criterion of truth, we have but to look at the translation of the New Testament into the language of na kahuna to see whether or not certain passages are in keeping with Huna or have been added at a later date by those who knew nothing of Huna.

FOR INSTANCE, take the dogma of the virgin birth of Jesus. We know that virgin birth was assigned to many of the sacred teachers in ancient times, and for this reason conclude that it was, even if true to fact, no proof that Jesus was the only teacher to be born of a virgin and a paternal divine being. The Huna test is simple. The basic word for virgin, in the language of the Secret, is puupaa (from the Hawaiian translation of the book of Matthew, 2:23). The meaning is simple and direct, it being that of a woman whose generative organs are still “closed.” There are no secondary meanings in the roots of the word to indicate that this matter of virginity has anything to do with the truths of Huna.

THE HOLY GHOST, said to have fathered Jesus, was unknown in the Old Testament, and it is highly improbable that it would have come into the picture before the birth of Jesus. In any event, it was the Holy Spirit which was mentioned later in the New Testament, and the word “ghost” is borrowed from the Germanic languages and is not to be found in the Huna vocabularies where even Holy Spirit is a term that must be made up instead of taken from the language of na kahuna. The only holy Spirit or “self” in Huna is the Aumakua, and it is certainly not a male angel such as appears in the account given by Luke of the events which took place before the birth of John and Jesus.

WE CONCLUDE that, regardless of the truth of the virgin birth, there is no Huna or SECRET meaning hidden there for us to understand and to use in our efforts to free ourselves from sins, complexes and obsessional influences so that we can make better contact with the Aumakua. The word for “holy” is hemo`lele, however, and this will tell us what the Aumakua, as the Holy Spirit or Self, does as its significant part in our lives. It loosens (hemo) and it lets something rise upward, (lele). The thing to be loosened is the blocking in the path, in other words, the complex, fixation or obsessional influence, or the sense of guilt – anything that prevents the Aunihipili from making contact along the aka cord of connection – the “path” – with the Aumakua or Holy Spirit. From the word for “holy” we see that the Aumakua has something very definite to do about unblocking the path, and in the foot-washing rite established by Jesus (already discussed in detail in earlier Bulletins), we have the explanation of HOW the path is opened by the Aumakua after being supplied with mana by the one doing the foot-washing and presenting the request for the opening.

I am working steadily on these many meanings and will, in time, be able to give you a more full report on the changes which are to be made by checking Christian dogmas with Huna originals. The whole picture of the teachings and ministry of Jesus changes when one knows the meanings hidden behind the externals. I can state confidently that Jesus did not die for the sins of mankind – the sins originating with Adam. A belief in Jesus as a personal savior is not mandatory to attain salvation. Na kahuna taught the same way of salvation many centuries earlier. Salvation depends on individual understanding, on growth into a hurtless way of life, and on the clearing of the path and the restoration of normal relationship with the Aumakua.

ANOTHER FREEDOM offered by the application of the test of Huna to Christianity, is freedom from slavish worship of a man or a personality. Once given the basic outline of Huna beliefs, (be they right or wrong) the TEACHING becomes a thing apart from the MAN. What I am trying to say is that it makes no difference whether one believes that Jesus never existed or not. It makes no difference WHO taught Huna, or when or where or how. All that matters is that we come in some way to understand Huna and, if we find it worth our consideration and testing, that we try it out. The same thing must be said of any psychological or religious system. In fact, the morals of all religions, once separated from the dogmatic beliefs which cannot be proven or disproves, are much alike. All systems agree that man should cease to hurt man. Some add the command that man should also be kind to all living things, taking no life under any circumstances. Huna offers a sane point of view on this last matter, showing that as animals, the man has to live in the animal world and be subject to the law of survival of the fittest. On the levels of the Auhane and Aumakua, he must live in accord with the rules which he may conclude apply on those levels. Fortunately, most men are sufficiently sane and practical not to be misled by the “teaching” presented from various sources, such as those that make a certain cult in India allow vermin to live in the hair for fear of sinning if sanitary measures are taken. (Blessed be sanity, also sanitation!)

A PECULIAR THING has been noticed in the study of Dr. Brunler’s work with the Brunler-Bovis Biometer readings. While the level of evolution or soul intelligence or whatever it may be, may vary largely from person to person and may range from the average reading of 250 degrees to the great height of 725 occupied by top-level individuals, they have one thing in which all seem equally endowed. This thing is the ability and tendency to hold to a given belief – once it has been accepted – with a death grip, and not to allow anyone to change it without a last ditch struggle. This strange characteristic seems to account for the apparent lack of ability to use ordinary reasoning powers to examine the dogmatic beliefs of religion. It makes not the slightest difference whether such a person lives up to his set beliefs or not. He may believe utterly in certain dogmas, practice not a fraction of the things commanded by those dogmas, and still make war furiously on anyone who questions them. As human beings we are, indeed, “terribly and wonderfully made” – especially when it comes to the head and heart, especially the latter, it being the Aunihipili which loves its complexed beliefs to the bitter end.

THE HRA IS SPLIT TO SOME EXTENT on dogmas. Here at the center I may get several letters in the same mail, each one bringing me comments on the late discovery of Huna-in-Bible, and each from one holding more or less to a different set of dogmas or angles of belief or disbelief. A number of HRAs have been lost from the fold because they objected in no uncertain terms to having the Bible meanings (as they understood and accepted them) tampered with. To some it was “the word of God” and woe betide any M.F.L. who dared question a word of it. On the other end of the line might be a good HRA who had long discarded the Bible for something else, and who would not tolerate any approach that seemed to suggest that there might be an iota of truth in the Bible – not even if it were Huna. Others have written with much heart-burning to object that I should have found Huna in the religious teachings and writings which they accepted as utterly and exclusively valid. I have striven to be reasonable in all cases, and have examined several religious systems with care trying to find Huna hidden in them, but up to this time, I have failed. Over and over I have explained that my pet interest is Huna, and that I am engaged in the task of trying to run down its sources and hidden meanings in as orderly a research and experimental process as I can manage. I am very happy to say that only a very few HRAs have failed so far to be able to approach the Huna research with an open mind and to reserve judgment as to its validity or usefulness until such a time as our studies and tests have been completed or at least have been carried to the point at which we can decide whether or not the search is worth continuing.

It must be admitted that open minds and ability to make the cool and careful approach of a student and researcher is rare in the extreme. The vast majority of men and women accept some teaching offered by some “teacher” or other, very seldom demanding valid proofs of source materials, and closing their minds thereafter to any contrary belief. It is because of the rarity of open minds that I value so highly the members of the HRA. To me they represent the hope of humanity. They prove that there actually are men and women in the world who are still able to make such an approach as we are making to tangled and often contradictory materials. My hat is very much off to 992 of you. To the remaining Ω% I can only say that perhaps some day we can discover something that will give us instant healing and swift answers to prayer, and that, when and if we do, we can forget differences in theories and share the benefits of working methods. I might add: While we are searching for something workable, how about trying to be kind, if nothing more? There are so many other painful things to be faced in life that it seems hardly reasonable to go out of the way to find discomfort in the resentments we foster against those who do not happen to agree with our views or beliefs.

HUNA DIRECTORY ADDITIONS

• No. 59. Mrs. Hazel Marsh, Box 81, Airway Heights, Wash. Interested in psychology and new approaches such as those of E Therapy
• No. 60. Mr. Bond Collier, Box 303, Pickney 2, Mich. Seasoned HRA who wants in on the list and writes, “I may be missing something.”

GHOST OF SCIENTOLOGY is the new name given his letter releases by HRA Clem Johnson, Boca Grande, Fla. No, this is not a letter to conduct psychical research into any ghostly remains of L.Ron Hubbard’s “Scientology” (which replaced his “Dianetics”). Clem used to publish a journal named “Ghost,” full title, “Boca Grande Journal Ghost,” survivor of the Journal itself. The new “Ghost” will soon be printed on a spirit duplicator (which seems quite in keeping) and is sent to those interested in this special line of investigation without cost. This, by the way, is very generous of Clem. Issue No. 2, he tells me, cost 60 cents per copy to send out, not counting time, stamps or envelopes. Clem is much engaged studying Scientology, using a big E-meter, and doing his best to sort out and test the materials in that field and pass on his finding to the rest of us. He deserves the heartiest thanks we can give him and the warmest encouragement.

The “GHOST” gives a fine digest of Huna in the issue of December 3rd, also a chart of the tone scale of Scientology as Clem sees it. Here is a quote from page one in which Clem answers a letter from one of the “Ghost’s” correspondents: “Yes of course we are still interested in Dianetics, but we feel that one should, by all means, take up Scientology, as the processing is so much faster and easier than the processing used during the Dianetics period. It is estimated that it is over twenty times faster, but the main thing is that Dianetics processing is said not to last, but will charge up again. I have definitely found this to be true in my own case. Whole track auditing gets at the basic incidents which may be hundreds of BILLIONS of years ago. Dr. Hubbard now says that Dianetics produces only meager results when addressed to this life only, while Scientology, with the use of ‘Black & White’ and ‘Constant Running’ addressed to the WHOLE TRACK brings amazing results within a very short period of time.”

THE EIDETIC FOUNDATION (P.O. Box 345, Fairhope, Ala.) with two valued HRAs in the organization, has recently sent me a mimeo unit by Ronald B. Howes, Ph. D., famous Dianetics “clear,” who seems to have joined those who have elected not to follow Mr. Hubbard into Scientology but to invent their own “techniques” and theories. The unit just mentioned is titled “SELF-AWARENESS TECHNIQUES.” I would say that it proposes some excellent methods by which one may become more acquainted with the Aunihipili and its ways of reacting.

The Eidetics Foundation calls its teaching “NEXOLOGY” and is busy organizing groups here and there in which the system may be studied and applied. I have received Part One of the “BASIC COURSE IN NEXOLOGY,” (Lessons 1 through 5), and find it very well mimeographed and nicely bound in a stiff cover with edges all well. trimmed. For a system that does not recognize either the subconscious or such things as the complex, this is a very interesting approach to the problem of working over our mental attitudes and bringing them up to the best possible level or condition.

MARKHAM HOUSE PRESS, LTD., (31 Kings Road, London S.W.3., England), will be happy to send a list of their publications on request. They deal with many subjects including pendulum matters, metaphysics and little known theories and healing methods. I have just received for review a 2 shilling booklet, THE EVOLUTION OF MATTER, which will interest those with a scientific turn of mind. It deals with modern concepts of the place of the atom in the scheme of things. A one shilling booklet called, QUICK AID FREE HEALING, deals with the use of the pendulum to find out trouble spots in the body – these then to be treated with the natural current of force found (with the pendulum) to flow around a loop of insulated wire. Drawings illustrate the simple techniques, and instances of successful healing are given. A thin booklet at six pence is GASTONBURY, by Egerton Sykes, telling of the lost parts of the Abbey which has been the subject of much interest in the psychic world of late. For those interested in an effort to reconcile the views of Blavatsky and the scientist, Hoerbiger, there is a larger booklet for two shillings sixpence, BLAVATSKY & HOERBIGER. In this one, the Secret Doctrine is discussed first, and the end of the discussion is based on the Book of Revelations. Owing to the difference in exchange rates, this complete set may be had, post paid for a dollar bill. Much interesting reading and food for speculative thought as well as a good description of a unique healing method to be studied and tried out. (If you find time to try it, please let me know the outcome.)

HRAs George and Helen Sandwich who have left Samoa and Fiji to go on to Australia after much very fine investigational work with fire-walking and the mana-charged stones and ikon-like objects, may presently be addressed care of The Bank of New South Wales, George St., Sydney, N.S.W., Australia. They recently obtained for our collection a set of pictures of a ceremony known as the “Ratib.” It is performed by East Indian residents of Fiji who belong to the Mohammedan faith. Mr. Abdul Rahiman Manu, J.P. and prominent resident of those parts, was kind enough to give information on the rite, it being in a way similar to the fire-walking ceremonies performed for centuries by people of the same race but who embrace a different religion and direct their prayers to a different version of Higher Being. Instead of protection from burning, protection from cutting is prayed for and obtained. The rite, in this case, was performed by a man from India who was helped by the local congregation. Here are the captions furnished to go with the seven pictures: [These pictures are not available with this bulletin.]

(1) The photo shows the people sitting down after finishing a prayer from the Holy Quran. (Koran.) They are about to read the history concerning the birth of the Prophet, Mohammed, and the start of Islam.

(2) This was taken after the prayer had been made and the reading finished. The man seated on the floor before the knives, swords and dagger-like instruments, is an authorized person from India who is about to undertake the Ratib ceremony.

(3) This shows the first part of the actual Ratib. More prayers are being recited and small hand drums are beaten.

(4) In this picture the performer has come to the priest, and he wants to play with the knives while the drumming is going on. The drumming will not cease until the Maulvi (or priest) stops it.

(5) This shows the performer lying (folded limply, with body bare and the blade of the long sword pressing into his middle) on a sharp steel knife (held by a man at either end of the long blade, at about four feet from the floor) while a man is jumping on the top of him. (The weight of both men is made to press the bare flesh against the sharp edge of the blade. The feet and dangling arms of the performer do not touch the floor.)

(6) The performer is standing with bare feet on a very sharp knife.

(7) The performer leans forward and presses his throat against the point of the very sharp dagger. (He is in no way injured at any time during the performance, and this is taken to indicate that the prayers have been heard.)

COMMENT: From the letters which I have received from the Sandwiths concerning the unmistakable protection obtained for the persons participating in the fire-walking and Ratib rites, I begin to share their feeling that we of the West are rank amateurs when it comes to making our religious or psychological beliefs work in a real and impressive way. One is reminded of the old saying, “Seeing is believing.” Again, our warm thanks to these HRA investigators.

BEHIND THE IRON CURTAIN there appears no censorship on research of the kind we do in Huna in the field of the psychologies and religions. Letters come out freely and the HRA Bulletins arrive, even if the mails are slow for them. Some of you have enjoyed correspondence in the past with HRA Mila Liscova-Novakova, who has just sent her Christmas greetings and a letter of excellent opinions concerning the Huna work. She has a new address, please note. It is: 48 Engelsove Nabrezi 48, Prague II – 388, Czechoslovakia, Europe. I am sure she would appreciate hearing from any of you. The enclosure of a dollar in your letter would be most appreciated, I am sure. Stamps cost considerable for letters of reply, and resources are limited. She translated some of the Huna materials into her own language from the English a few years ago, so do not hesitate to write her in English. She also appreciates books as gifts.

LANDSLIDE VOTE FOR EISENHOWER seems to have been predicted in my dream reported in Bulletin 90, page 3, as interpreted by HRA O. Bond Collier, who writes: “The slides obviously meant a landslide, as you interpreted it, but your George also told you even more plainly who it was, by means of the ice or eis, as – Eis in Eisenhower.” That is perfectly clear, once one sees it. The trouble is in the seeing, not the dreaming. I nominate O. Bond C. for the position of official dream reader for the HRA.

HOO`LA AND REV, JESSIE CURL (HRA) recently visited San Diego and were happy to find that a patient so far along with cancer of the breast that she contemplated doing away with herself, had been completely healed in the one treatment given her. Another patient (who wrote me a short letter telling of his experience) had been completely and permanently healed in one treatment. He had suffered for a year and a half with skin poisoning which medical treatment had failed to help. I am very anxious for us of the HRA to get on the point at which we can test out the foot-washing rite offered by Jesus to see if we can help those in need of healing to get their fixations and spirit obsessional influences cleared away. It seems very reasonable to believe that it is only the blocking of this kind in the aka “path” of contact with the Aumakua which prevents successful healing in all cases. Or, we may find that if the complexes are removed, by the utilization of the E Therapy or similar methods, healing can follow.

It is evident that the ability of the spirit guide, Hoo`la and his friends to heal is genuine. If this is so, there must be something in the patient which prevents the healing from taking place when healing fails. As all kinds of ills have been cured, the block must be mental or spiritual rather than physical in nature. This brings us right back to the complex, the sense of guilt, the influence of “eating companion” spirits or lack of either faith or of a sufficient supply of available mana for use in making the changes to bring the normal condition. On the other hand, healing should, theoretically at least, be available as a direct answer to the Huna-type prayer, once the contact with the Aumakua is reestablished by unblocking the path. I believe the time is fast approaching when we will have completed our efforts to finish our research in this direction. I also feel very certain that we are on the right track and that the anticipated results will be obtained. It is probable, however, that there will always be the need of healers to help those who have little idea of what lies behind the scenes in Huna healing.

WE SHALL SERVE, EACH ACCORDING TO HIS GIFT

So predicts HRA A.J.L of Everett, Wash. He quotes from Paul’s letters to the Corinthians, and while there seems to have been a distinct lack of Huna knowledge on the part of Paul, this passage seems to fit the situation. I quote: (Cor. 12:8.) “For this man, perhaps, is given through the Spirit philosophical reasoning; but to another, by means of the same Spirit, comprehension of thought; and to a different person faith by the same Spirit; while to another gifts of healing by means of the same Spirit; and to another a genius for government; while to another eloquence; to another discernment of character; and to another a genius for languages, and to another talent for translating languages.” (Fenton translation.)

PHYSICAL AIDS TO THE REMOVAL OF THE COMPLEX have been found most useful by Dr. A.J.P. who writes: “To my own satisfaction I have proved that most complexes and obsessions have a physical as well as a mental origin and that they can be corrected by proper physical means. When there is an interference to the flow of mental impulses between the brain and the periphery, an abnormal expression will result. This abnormal result or expression may be called anything in the book, the name matters little, the big thing is to find the interference and to correct it. When this is accomplished, a higher rate of vibration will result and normalcy will again be attained; all functions working in harmony to express health.

“Even if the complexes are cleared, the body must then be refined and spiritualized so that it can be used by the Aumakua for its expression. The Aumakua is limited by the vibratory rate of the body through which it has to express. If I am wrong in this, I shall be glad to know it. Methinks that Dianetics, Eidetics, E Therapy practitioners are going to be disappointed when their enthusiasm has been exhausted. I do not care to find fault or to criticize, but over thirty years of experience has given me a different perspective on this subject.”

Comment: HRA Dr. A.T. Westlake, in England, wrote some time ago to say that he believed we were on the verge of finding physical aids to the removal of the complex. I take it that he had in mind the radiation methods of stimulating glands to bring them up to normal functioning. Gradually the gap is closing between the strictly physical methods of healing and the mental-spiritual. It seems inevitable that a combined or composite therapy will one day be worked out and perfected.

ROUND ROBIN magazine is out again with a most interesting issue. The choice morsel is news of the landing of a flying saucer in California at a spot near Desert Center. A mixed party of people first saw a cigar-shaped object, then one of the party, Prof.  Adamski, left the party and went apart about 12 miles. A saucer landed near him and out stepped a man resembling a Chinese and speaking English as well as some other language. He left footprints, these having strange designs imprinted by the soles of his shoes. The designs are illustrated in the release for all to try to figure out. Interesting – if true.

SPECIAL VACATION (MAYBE) NOTICE

If you do not get your next HRA Bulletin at the usual time, you may safely conclude that it is being skipped and that Cigbo and I are taking a bit of vacation – first for months.
(TMHG daily at regular hours.)  MFL

November 1, 1952

RATHER AMAZING NEWS has been coming in of late concerning the rapid changes and developments in Dianetics, Eidetics and E Therapy. This Bulletin will be given over largely to this news and comments on it, but first let me explain why. I believe that one of the primary duties of the HRA is to hunt out any information bearing on Huna or related fields, especially if it is new or so little known that it needs spreading among us. Most HRAs are unable to obtain such information, and few have time to study it and conclude what it may be worth. I, however, here in the middle of things, have information constantly being offered. I have the opportunity to study it and to try to give it a proper evaluation, even if this is frequently impossible. In the Dianetics field, it is my feeling that we will do well to keep careful watch. A large number of earnest enthusiasts are at work there, and all sorts of things are being tried out. New theories are being evolved, and practical testing runs along side-by-side with speculation. It is to be hoped that, sooner or later, some simple and sound methods of draining off the complex may be discovered. As we all know, na Kahuna believed that the “path” had to be cleared of the several kinds of “sins,” including the complex and the obsession influence. We are fortunate to have several exceptionally active HRAs in the various parts of the Dianetics field, and they have been doing for us the laboratory type of investigations which we have not been able to do for ourselves. What they have to report to us merits careful consideration, no matter whether we agree with their conclusions or not. In any event we owe them a debt of gratitude.

SUGGESTION HAS BEEN ACCEPTED by E Therapy, I was told by HRA Kitselman recently when he called at the Study. I gather that the method formerly advocated did not produce the results that had been hoped for and so, as in other parts of the Dianetics field, “new techniques” were in order. The main trouble in the use of the E Therapy method has been to get full contact with the “E” or our Aumakua, and to be able to get it to take over the task of bringing back the right memories at the right time and causing them to give up their content of complexed material – to the end that it may be drained off with appropriate physical actions such as yawning, panting, jerking, flushing and the like.

In the lore of na Kahuna there was no expectation that the patient would contact his Aumakua before his fixations and “eating companion” obsessions were located and removed sufficiently well that the Aunihipili would feel free to reach out to make contact along the aka cord. More than that, the patient had, as his very first step, to admit his guilts, make amends for hurts done others, and go through a very definite form of conversion or turning away from the hurtful  way of life. Not until this was done, could the kahuna help him to open his path to the Aumakua and obtain help and healing. Jesus, whom we have discovered to be a kahuna of the fist grade, had the same ideas on this approach as did later na Kahuna.- This has not been a fully recognized necessity as yet in Dianetics, although full recognition is coming inevitably, judging by all the signs.

Through light suggestion, Mr. Kitselman hopes to enable the Aunihipili of the one being helped to make contact with his Aumakua “E” in a much shorter time and in a more complete way. As I understand it, this will be the only use to which suggestion will be put. For some time, despite the effort made in early Dianetics processing to avoid even a touch of suggestion, it has been believed by many that it could not be avoided so long as one person was relaxed to a great extent while his guide was mentally driving him to recall memories which would reveal “engrams.”

The early experiments with the use of the Indian practice of eating the narcotic peyote buttons to release the Aunihipili are being continued with the refined narcotic element, under proper supervision, and tests are being made to learn whether or not this may assist one to get into contact with the “E” more rapidly, or to get instructions in dreams, visions or through symbols from the Aumakua.

Mr. Kitselman is lecturing, demonstrating and traveling. He has plans afoot for a rather expensive and elaborate center at Pyramid Lake, north of Reno, and is working to raise $50,000, which he offers to match with property worth $64,000. It is to be a place where the members can come to rest, to be helped and to spend vacations. As is the case with all the offshoot branches of Dianetics, the work of teaching the new “techniques” as they are evolved, is done in part through lectures recorded on tapes and distributed to the several centers, where they are listened to by those desiring the instruction.

EIDETICS RECOGNIZED SPIRIT OR OBSESSIONAL INFLUENCE some time ago, and I now learn that in Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard’s new brand of Dianetics, the thing at first thought to be impersonal and named “demon circuit,” has been accepted as spirit influence of an obsessional nature, ranging from slight to strong in different pre-clears. This checks with the Huna of Polynesia and of the Garden of Eden and of the New Testament.

In July, HRA Bert Avera, of the Eidetic Foundation in Alabama, gave me the first news I had of this major change in the field. Here are parts of his letter.

“We have been making some very interesting discoveries here at the Foundation, relative to the problem of spirit possession. And these discoveries have had some astonishing repercussions on the astral plane. We have found a number of people who have discarnate entities attached to them and attempting to influence their lives.

“In two cases we have exorcised these entities by having the pre-clear locate the agreement to have them. (Note: agreement is apparently the acceptance of spirits or of any event that may occur, by the Aunihipili, although in Eidetic no distinction is made between conscious and subconscious. In this adoption of the Gestalt brand of psychology, all offshoot schools of the original Dianetics seem to follow the lead of Mr. Hubbard.) There is always an agreement (or tolerance?) or the entity cannot attach itself. The agreements are found in the same way any agreement is found, as described in SIMPLIFIED PROCESSING (Mimeo unit, price $2.) with one addition. It is necessary, or at least advisable, for the pre-clear to erect about himself a shield against counter-emotion and counter-thought (those opposing his own), because these entities will negate strongly against any attempt to get rid of them. If the pre-clear is running with an auditor, the auditor should erect a shield about himself too. If the auditor has any perception on the astral plane, these entities can be seen and heard very clearly while they are being ousted. They frequently plead frantically with the auditor when they realize that they cannot be felt through the pre-clear’s shield.

“Entities such as these are people who have died and have refused to accept responsibility for their death; hence they must maintain for themselves the illusion that they are still alive. They frequently do this by living with incarnate people, generally ones they knew when they themselves were alive. They try to gain and to maintain control over these people. This can be accomplished, as I have said before, only if the incarnate individual desires it. There is ALWAYS A REASON for this type of agreement, and it must be found if the exorcism is to be permanent.

“Also, we have found that there are such things as demons. Real honest-to-goodness demons. They are a life form which has its lowest material existence on the astral plane, just as our lowest material existence is on the physical plane. They do attempt to possess people. When they succeed, they are responsible for a great deal of insanity, since their sole desire toward humans is to harm them and feed on their life force. But, once again, they cannot possess an individual except through his own agreement (acceptance) to be possessed. Frequently, in the case of demons, this is through an individual’s fear of the so-called supernatural. Their greatest weapon against us is our fear of them.

“As a child, an individual may hear ghost stories that lead to the acceptance of the reality (belief firmly established) that the ‘things that go bump in the night’ are capable of doing limitless damage to poor ‘defenseless’ humans. This is a form of agreement that leaves this individual wide open to the attack of any entity intent on doing harm, and there are plenty of these.

“For the past ten days we have had a siege of demons. They have been attacking because the discoveries that are being made here are extremely dangerous to them. The data we have is a definite threat to the continued existence of demons as such. We have killed several of them experimentally – that is, we have destroyed their astral forms.

“I suggest that, if you have any fear of  ‘the horrid things of darkness’ (mentioned in SSBM), you find where you have accepted realities concerning their ability to harm you, and blow them out. While you are doing this, it would be advisable to erect a shield such as I have described. This is easy to do. Just will it to exist and it does. Make certain that it encompasses your entire body. This is a genuine shield, and not merely insensitivity to counter-emotion and counter-thought. In this business it is a good idea to be on guard against any and all sorts of low-toned attacks. (Attacks from entities of evil intent.)”

NOTE: Recently, HRAs George and Helen Sandwith sent in fine photos of Hindus involved in fire-walking, also of their temple and images. I was requested to try to run Biometric tests on individuals, the fire, the images and so on. I tried repeatedly, without success. The pictures seemed dead to me from a psychic contact point of view. Later, they sent in a fine set of photos of native Fijian fire-walkers in action, and I had little trouble making contact with them and getting their readings. (All had the “will” reading straight up-and-down.) It was my conclusion that the Hindus had surrounded themselves and their temple, images and fire with a “shield’ of some sort that kept my George from touching them when he projected an aka finger along the line of the aka threads tied to the photos. There is evident power in such a surrounding shield. In our “Wall of Protection” set up by will and action of mind and prayer, there seems to be something very similar. By-the-by, no man in the service who has been included in our “Wall” group has yet been injured. We build on the Wall twice daily in the TMHG right after offering mana to the Po`e Aumakua and making our request for a world at peace. Work through me in this. I have the names and signatures of them or of a dear one through whom we work if we lack a direct aka thread connection via a signature.

SCIENTOLOGY HAS PULLED OUT ALL THE STOPS recently and for a report on this we are indebted to HRA Clem W. Johnson, of Boca Grande, Fla., who has been spending time and money freely to test out the Dianetics-Scientology ideas. Here are parts of a recent letter.

“Speaking of Dianetics – I am not a clear yet! I have had about 150 hours of old style auditing, and must say my health has certainly improved as well as many aberrations that I now realize that I had. But the new system of auditing with the electro psycho-meter offers me hope of becoming a THETA CLEAR in the next few months. It is the first time that Hubbard has come out with a technique that has excited me.

“Scientology has now come to deal with fire-walking, seeing behind walls, instant healing, spirits, Huna, Yoga and all the other known forms of mysticism.

“With the new technique 88 in which Black and White is used, it seems that the present aberrations of life are unimportant and a waste of time. The secret now is to clear the Thetan – our Aumakua, on the WHOLE TRACK of his aberrations, which goes back 70 trillion (70,000,000,000,000) years to the time when he first left the ‘Home Universe.’

“With the use of Black and White, one simply gets a concept of an incident and then proceeds to turn everything white around it. When black encroaches, run it away and turn it to white. When one can KEEP the field white, the incident has been reduced or cleared. This has to be done with the use of the E-meter, but a person can audit himself even, with this case.

“With the old systems of auditing present life engrains, there were only a couple or so people who ever reached what they thought was a state of MEST clear; but they had a habit of sliding back. It is now known that this was because the Thetan was not audited. Now, it is much easier to produce a Theta clear than it used to be to produce even a false or temporary MEST clear.

“Hubbard claims to have proven the new technique on 20 people and on himself, saying that he is, himself, a MEST clear. The latest news from Scientology Journal is that five Theta clears were produced in five days at Phoenix.

“The following information was gleaned from the 20 people who were audited and who ‘lived’ through these incidents. (See the $2.50 mimeo release, “What to Audit,” Scientific Press, Inc., 1405 No. Central Ave., Phoenix, Arizona – By L. Ron Hubbard.)

“It seems that there are at least two lines of spirits. One is called the ‘Genetic Line,’ and incidents of abrasive nature have happened to this entity during processing through the line from the Photon, Photon Converter – algae – Jellyfish, Weeper – water squirted – Clam, Being Eaten by Birds While a Clam, Sloth, Early Ape, Plithdown Man, Neanderthal Man, Early Civilizations, Before Conception, Conception, Birth, and Present Time.

“It would seem that the Genetic Entity is a double spirit, since it can be, and is, run through the ovum and also the sperm cells before conception. This I know, because I ran that myself.

“The Theta line begins about 70 trillion years ago when there was an incident of BEING REJECTED FROM THE HOME UNIVERSE, SEPARATION FROM UNIVERSAL SUPPLY OF THETA, BODY BUILDER INCIDENT, CAPTURE BY  ARSCLYANS, ELECTRONIC FIGHTS, DEPARTURE FROM DEAR SOULS – with several incidents in dear souls area – ENTRANCE INTO MEST UNIVERSE- upward of 1 trillion years ago. Then there is the city of Arsclycus set of incidents in which the Thetan has a double life track, one body being held in pawn while he goes elsewhere and is born into a MEST body. About 10,000 such lives. Each time he dies, he goes back to the body held in pawn until time to be born into another body. Then there is the incident of the collapse of Arclycus, followed by the effort to get into a new body line. The dates on these incidents are not quite clear but seem to be upward of 1 trillion years ago.

“There are many other incidents – without being standard – down through time until we reach the area in time which varies from person to person, which is called ‘Facsimile No. 1 – or Engram 1.’ They may be anywhere from 35,000 to 200,000 years ago. This would be entrance for the first time into the present body line. Many births and deaths in the present body line have been experienced by the Thetan up to the present time.

“It is very easy to recognize the Aumakua as the Thetan, and it is very simple to recognize the Genetic Entity as the Aunihipili It is also easy to recognize other spirits or entities – or split-off pieces of the mind – in the body. So far I have not been able to put my finger on the Auhane in this system, but perhaps it will be revealed later.

“The demon spirits which Hubbard used to call ‘demon circuits’ are now called ENJECTED ENTITIES. They will bear auditing from now on, and sometimes people get better for a while after auditing them, but it won’t last. After auditing the Thetan, they simply vanish. So now they are ignored. They vanish very rapidly in auditing the Thetan.

Now here is a point. The Thetan is BEST placed is his own body and in his own world. The next best place is about three  feet behind and above the MEST or physical body. The WORST place he can be is INSIDE the MEST body, as then he is very badly aberrated, degenerated and decayed. He comes to think that the MEST body is all there is. He is the control of the MEST body then because the Genetic Entity has turned over most of his control to him, and so all he has to do is to try to keep the body running in some sort of condition until he decides to give up and take a new body. The Thetan knows this and leaves the body before death. The Genetic Entity stays on until quite some time after death, or until the COMPLETE DEATH of all the cells.

“Thus the Thetan carried all of his aberrations with him into a new body which he enters sometime just before birth. The Genetic Entity enters before conception.

“Now in auditing, the only thing one does really is to remove the occlusions and restore memory. Once one remembers his other realities, he is relatively un-aberrated. For instance, once one remembers that he once could defy fire or walk on water, it becomes his reality and there is nothing more to it – he just goes ahead and DOES IT.

“Therefore, Huna, Yoga, Hinduism, Metaphysics and all related subjects – even Christianity – are based on the same thing:

1. Getting rid of sins, recovering memory of incidents
2. Unblocking the Path
3. Working out Karma
4. Faith – dim memory
5. Concentration – bringing back some memories.
6. Going back to 10,000 years ago, and back and on back

“It should be noted that in auditing, the only incidents which amount to anything or have any aberrative power-charge on them are OVERT ACTS. They are acts which you have once done to somebody or something else. THERE IT IS IN A NUTSHELL. Huna says, DON’T HURT ANYONE ELSE – another, your brother, or what not?

“So we really have to thank Mr. Hubbard for proving Huna to be almost 100% perfect. I have always, since Dianetics came out, believed that clearing the mind was all that was needed in Huna to become a kahuna. It should be something attained instantly, not as the result of 4o years of meditation.

“Mr. Hubbard says now that about 80 hours auditing with the E-meter, using the new techniques, will produce a MEST clear and, after that, it does not take long to go to Theta Clear.

“There are now several recognized states of clearness:

1. A 15 or Optimum – not stable
2. NEST clear – cleared of aberrations of this life, and of enough on the Theta or Whole Track, to make one stable
3. A CLEARED THETA CLEAR. One who cannot yet be imagined. So called. One who does not  have to depend upon a MEST body, but who can come and go from it at will. He would have perfect control of any powers that have been contributed to any person on Earth, such as the most fantastic miracles of a Yogi or of Jesus or of anyone.

“The most fantastic stories of fiction, writers cannot describe what the Theta Clear can do, let alone the CLEARED THETA CLEAR. In my case, I am not interested in the latter – just working to become a Theta Clear.

“One has to get a great deal of charge off the incidents of this life before he can even CONTACT his Thetan or Theta Being. A Thetan does not have a MEST body. It is the person, according to Hubbard, NOT the Genetic Entity or the MEST body.

“It is a theory of Scientology that a person cannot conceive of or imagine anything unless he has once experienced the same kind of incident. It is my belief that every story, myth or legend originated from some basic fact, whether related to this world or not. Whether these tales or imaginings are true does not matter, nor does it matter whether or not you believe them to be true. Mr. Hubbard says, however, that it is absolutely necessary that they be audited and run out of a person to clear him.

“To me, it would seem to be fantastic if these incidents (of the past 70 trillion years) were run by only one person, but when more than 20 people have run the same incidents – Well, to me that sounds like the facts were genuine. Be that as it may, the incidents, whatever they may be, must be audited out of one.

“In Bulletin 87 you asked how fire-walking can be done. Very simple. All one has to do is run out his ‘hurts to others’ over his Whole Track, and then find some time when he could or did fire-walk, and see how he did it at that time. That’s all, Brother!

“My E-meter just came yesterday and I have put about four hours into auditing with it – self auditing – and it is simply fascinating to watch the needle show charge on incidents in this life, and then watch the charge or emotion go down and reduce. I tried it today on incidents reduced yesterday, and there is no charge on them now. I can’t even find some of them which have been reduced.

“I’ll let you hear more later. After I am a Theta Clear, I will come over and demonstrate how to become a kahuna.

COMMENT: After much coaxing of the reluctant and doubtful Cigbo, I managed to get him to scratch up the price of the What to Audit book. It has come and so I can review it briefly. In the foreword, Dr. Hubbard writes concerning the new technique …

“This one has really found it. So all I am going to say is, you’ve got it now. Let’s get this show on the road. That isn’t Greek. It’s a call to action.”

In his second foreword he begins by writing, “This is a cold-blooded and factual account of your last sixty trillion years.” On page 2 he explains why he gave up auditing the  engrains of the present life and went over to addressing himself to the many past lives instead. He writes, “I used (on 20 test cases) the most modern techniques – 1952 – and did a standard auditing addressed to the current lifetime of each one. I obtained mediocre results, partial recoveries, slight betterment in attitude. Then I audited each case addressing only past track, prior to this lifetime: the results were swift and spectacular. Thus I validated, for myself, the reality (belief) that in auditing the whole track, one can obtain excellent results that in auditing the current lifetime, one can obtain slow and mediocre results.    From this series came this conclusion: THE AUDITOR WHO INSISTS ON AUDITING THE CURRENT LIFETIME ONLY, WHEN HE HAS THE WHOLE TRACK TECHNIQUE AVAILABLE, IS WASTING TIME AND EFFORT AND IS, IN FACT, SWINDLING HIS PRECLEAR.”

A rather alarming situation is indicated in his following lines in which he tells of investigating the many auditors who “held back” and did not wish to accept the new ideas which were offered to them. He took several of these auditors through a number of sessions, and reports that, “I found several noteworthy similarities about them; they were so low in tone it was almost impossible to get them to register on the old style Mathison (E-meter), their cases were utterly bogged (down), they generally made a practice of refusing any auditing, their general record with pre-clears was very poor, their own lives were running badly, they not only fought past lives, as they called the ‘whole track,’ but they fought any technique evolved since the summer of 1950 or used later techniques poorly. They would not run any overt acts even in this lifetime; they needed, so far as their cases were concerned, the most careful auditing.” It is to be hoped that these – “a large number of auditors” – were not graduates of the early $500 courses and were not auditing pre-clears when they were, themselves, so lacking.

VERY DISTRESSING NEWS came recently in a form letter from the publishers of ARC LIGHT and PLUS & MINUS. They, HRAs Dee and Bill Swygard, simply announced that, as of September 20th, they were suspending publication and closing their book sale and rental service. Refunds were promised on the balance of subscriptions. They explained that they were closing down “for reasons diametric to those we had for starting them.” One can only wonder whether it became necessary to begin to eat again. Twenty cents per copy to make up and send out an eight-page journal to a small list of subscribers, leaves little above expenses. HRA Meade Layne has struggled along for some years getting out ROUND ROBIN, and feeding himself on the side. Cigbo could tell some tall tales about his experiences scratching up enough to get past times of crisis with the HRA Bulletin. My hope is that Dee and Bill may have become auditors equipped with E-meters and 88 technique, and are ready to set up in business at $25 the hour to help produce clears – or something which promises to be as lucrative. On the other hand, I do hope that they did not suddenly gag over the diversified materials offered in the Dianetics field – and just throw up everything.

MORE BAD NEWS is that Secret Science Behind Miracles is now down to a few copies. I tried to get five copies to hoard against “rare book” days and prices, but my publisher, Kosmon Press, could not promise to let me have them until a count was made of the recent orders and the number of copies left in storage at the press in Kingsport, Tenn., where address labels are sent to be pasted on and copies mailed. There is a long chance that a reprint may be made later on, but nothing certain yet. Hold the thought that the reprint will eventually be made. HRA keeps alive by the arrival of new members from the later readers of the book, you know.

READING OF THE “WILL” PATTERN

KUDA BUX, who uses “eyeless sight” and who fire-walks, as mentioned in the last Bulletin, seems to be traveling most of his time and giving exhibitions of his trained psychic powers. However, HRA Edward S. Schultz, of Buffalo, N.Y., will try to make contact with him and see if we can interest him in the HRA efforts and get his help in such matters as he may see fit to discuss with us. It would be very interesting to run tests on his signature written at the beginning of his training, say around 15, and as of today. The Biometer might show some interesting changes in the will or personality pattern or the reading in degrees of the brain radiation.

THE BRAIN RADIATIONS OF HYPNOTISTS, by the way, are very interesting because they give the “will” pattern reading of the perfect will. Most people have a “will pattern” which Dr. Brunler classified as less than perfect. Let me illustrate the manner in which the pendulum moves over the plate of the Bovis Biometer (which I have on loan through the kindness of HRA Dr. Hanoka, of Buffalo, Missouri). The arrows show the direction of the swing.

The diamond-shaped plate on the Bovis Biometer is the exact size shown above [Probably not, editor 5/27/2010] and has lines printed to show exact horizontal, vertical or diagonal swings. These line are not shown in the drawings, but the movement of the pendulum is shown as approximately over the lines when a “pattern” reading is taken.

THE PATTERN CAN BE CHANGED with practice and effort to make the “will” reading more perfect and the circle more what it should be. However, Dr. Brunler found that to change from the general counterclockwise to the clockwise, was so difficult that it was seldom accomplished. The brain radiation reading may increase up to six degrees, we are told, but the average growth in this respect is from one to three degrees.

THE PATTERN READING should be of great value in all work of the type being undertaken in psychoanalysis, E Therapy, Eidetics or Dianetics. (Or “Scientology” as L. Ron Hubbard – now “Dr. Hubbard” in all the mentions of him in the Scientology literature to come out of Phoenix, Arizona  has renamed what was once called by him, “Dianetics.”) While the Brain Radiation degree reading should not make a great difference in deciding whether or not a person (“pre-clear”) was a proper candidate for help or “processing,” it would tell the “auditor” or “guide” or “observer” or “analyst” the general level of intelligence of the one to be worked upon. The Pattern, on the other hand, would indicate how far off the ideal or normal the pre-clear might be, and, by repeating the reading test from time to time, progress could be checked. Our friends of the Eidetic Foundation (252 Mershon St., Fairhope, Ala.), who have been most helpful and ready to run lab tests on Huna lines and to give us the benefit of their growing research program and experience, have had several of the staff there read for their present patterns, and will check betimes as they progress further into the “optimum” or fully normal and perfected state.

THE “OPTIMUM” STATE was first postulated by L.Ron Hubbard in his book, DIANETICS. He also spoke of it as a state in which one was “clear” of all compulsions, neuroses and psychoses, also of all repressions and psycho-somatic ills. However, it was not enough for a person to be normal, with a normal memory and a normal ability to think rationally. Mr. Hubbard pointed to the fact that, under hypnosis, a subject might be caused to “regress” in time and to relive a past event with all the physical sensations “revivified” or brought to life and lived over exactly as during the event itself, but without the actual muscular action, vision, smell and so on – only with a form of complete remembering and reliving of the sensations.

THIS SENSORY MEMORY, in addition to the ordinary memory of the event, in which sight, taste, smell ,etc., are recalled but not actually and vividly re-experienced in full time sequence, was pronounced to be of value in reaching a “clear” state, and while hypnosis was not to be used to get back this recall, the auditor sat beside the pre-clear lying on the couch, and mentally “pushed” to get him to develop the ability to make the sensory type of “return” as well as the usual return in ordinary memory.

MEMORY RESIDENT IN EACH CELL was postulated to account for the full sensory recall and reliving of an event. As recall seemed to go back to the moment of conception, it was then postulated that memory was full and complete in the sensory level even in the sperm and ovum cells. Soon the new recall led back into former incarnations, where no cells with sensory memories were to be found, and the theory bogged down more or less.

HOWEVER, TO BECOME “OPTIMUM,” it still seems to be agreed in the Dianetic offshoot schools of belief and practice, that one must develop ability to recall and relive any and every incident from conception forward, using this combined cell-mind type of memory and revivification to bring to the surface any abnormal mental impression or reaction to such impressions. Once the “aberrational” material was successfully recalled and subjected to the rationalization process, it became normal as a memory and ceased to stand in the way of becoming “cleared.”

RON HOWES, FAMED AS ONE OF THE OPTIMUM CLEARS, has been discussed in the literature which has accumulated around Dianetics, and his augmented mental abilities affirmed. In a letter addressed to “all optimun and pre-optimum humans,” some months ago, he gave the primary steps needed to create an “optimum race.” He wrote in Basic English, and it is interesting to see if the way he writes and the things said show the superiority of one who has attained the optimum condition.

He wrote: “The primary step in the production of an optimum race is the invention of a higher tone reality. To be optimum, this reality must have self-corrective machinery determined by firm, dynamic goals. The inventor of a suitable reality is forced by the race life-cause and assisted by race-intelligence to communicate the invention.” He went on to give other “steps,” the (again I quote) “fourth step is establishment of true communication among all groups and units of the race. Race dynamics insure the integrated results of all steps.” (And now comes the greatest exhibition of an optimum’s ability of which I have as yet heard.) “To aid in the progress necessary for application of the above principles, certain mechanical features may be brought into use. Since the second month, tenth day, of this year, there has been in existence a field of psycho-mechanical structure. This field is directional and can be beamed through an area three thousand miles in radius. The source of the field will stand unknown. The field produces the following. (1). Amplification of causative factors in the race. (2). Temporary enrichment of mind-reality applied to desire and need, (and) (3). Communication enhancement among units of the race.”

I never heard what, if anything, happened following the creation of this “field” by its unidentified creator, but that is how an optimum lays it on the line for the other optimums or not-yet optimums. The goal and the benefits to be had upon reaching the goal, once loudly included corrections of mental and physical health, I believe. Now, little mention is made of these features, but one is supposed to desire even more greatly to reach the completely “cleared” state.

“NOW ITS UP TO YOU,” says an ad in the new “Journal of Scientology” put out by the revised Hubbard Center in Arizona. (Subscription rates, $2.50 per year. Address 1405 No. Central Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona.) The ad in question shows what the pre-optimum can do to approach the desirable state. They offer access to sixty lectures on tapes by Dr. Hubbard, with fifty texts to study. In addition, one can have 100 hours of supervised co-auditing with the Mathison Electropsychometers, and enjoy the benefits of the use of the newest techniques “from Effort to Black and White.”

THE SOURCE OF THE LIFE ENERGY HAS BEEN FOUND

Dr. L. Ron Hubbard is pleased to announce in the latest issue of the new journal. He writes that qualified engineers, in addition to himself, have observed the energy, measured its flow, observed it in its isolated state (!), and have invented a very simple new technique which in about 25 hours will enable the individual to get a startling manifestation, if I read the article correctly. Those further advanced in Scientology may make the grade in as little as two hours of special processing. It is further reported that some pre-clears have been burned by the energy, and that care must be taken to ground anyone when the energy is to be utilized in whatever way attempted. It is said that the energy is an AC flow and that it is of very high frequency. The matter is made clear and simple in this paragraph.

“The energy source is also the awareness of awareness unit of being and is considered by himself to be himself.” Of course, this possibly could be typographical error, but it seems not to be. It is quite possible that to one familar with the new terms used in Scientology this makes a very complete and convincing explanation of where the energy of life comes from. The similarity of this “first time” discovered energy to the mana of Huna, is suggested in the statement in the article that it can be conducted from body to body (as is also done in the Eeman circuits) and that it can be increased by the use of the proper technique so that there is danger, if the subject is not grounded, of destroying some vital part of his being. The “serpent fires” of Theosophy were said to be made up of life energies generated by special techniques, but, if not very properly controlled, apt to burn out one’s brain or otherwise ruin the one arousing the forces and allowing them to rise along the spine.

THE ORIGINAL CONCEPT OF “CELL MEMORY,” so far as I have been able to learn, was proposed by our own  HRA L.E. Feman, of England, first printed in 1929. Mr. Eeman was a flyer in World War 1 and was hospitalized, because of injuries, over a period of some time. As doctors failed to cure him and bring an injured shoulder back into action, he began to study himself and his muscles, also his conscious and subconscious reactions. Eventually, he discovered that a complex was causing the shoulder trouble. He found that there were areas of muscular tension which indicated subconscious complex knots, and that he could work from muscle tensions back into the subconscious and bring up the incident which caused the complex to form, enabling him to rationalize it. The shoulder was released and restored.

But he did not stop there. He followed through in his mental exploration of his subconscious as it was found resident in his body, and learned a method of relaxation and of using his powers of internal observation. He gradually became able to observe the bodily reactions to mental pictures of such things as running, walking, seeing colors, feeling heat or cold or warm sunshine. It is a long and fascinating story. In the end he was able to recall vividly and relive practically any memory of physical experience. In his book (Chap.9, page 183) he passed on a question which at the same time gave some of his basic findings. I quote:

“If it is a fact that self-suggestion is absolutely indispensable before any conscious action of any kind can take place, why do people find it so terribly difficult to accept that the same law may hold good for all subconscious actions? Why do they find it much easier to accept by implication that unconscious actions just happen without any intelligent or intelligible force having any say in the matter?

“Why cannot they understand that our continuous subconscious or unconscious actions, the heart-beat, breath, circulation, digestion, only persist in virtue of the unconscious suggestion involved in the memory of their having been done before, and done in a certain way, with a given rhythm; individual memory, organic memory, cell memory?”

Mr. Eeman explained how the thought of running caused the subconscious to react as if to suggestion and to make the heart beat more rapidly, the breathing to quicken, and all the body to react in some degree as if actually engaged in running.

From this he deduced the fact that energy was produced (he decides that it is drawn in from the surrounding ether, just as is done in real, instead of imaginary, running) but was not expended except to a small degree. This left an excess of energy (much like the Huna surcharge of mana) which could then be turned into evolutionary channels of use.

This excess energy, directed by mental action, was the key to a form of conscious quickening of bodily evolution toward fullest muscular, organic or other powers and perfections. The observing and directing mind, with daily practice, came to be aware at will of the sensations inside the body which, I take it, only the subconscious ordinarily senses. It is a method by which the conscious becomes aware of the subconscious in an amazing way, and is able to train and guide it to develop the physical vehicle, and soon, to develop its latent but natural psychic powers such as those of telepathy, prevision and clairvoyance. Every part of the man is developed, and his health and sense of well being is perfect, as are his skills in such games or actions as may demand muscular development and coordination. The memory becomes perfected and includes memories of bodily actions and experiences when there is reason to recall them. The usual powers of conscious mind mentation are increased to their highest level, and, in due time, after going through a very interesting set of development steps, there comes awareness of the superconscious realm much as in Zen.

This last part of the development rests on the earlier steps, and, while not the whole of the goal, offers the most advance. We all know a degree of bodily and mental perfection, but few of us have known the awareness that opens on the next higher level of being, that of the superman, and for that reason, the greatest lure attaches itself to that part of the total goal. The implication cannot be escaped that it is, in this way, possible to make a sufficient, complete and conscious evolution in a single lifetime, and so reach the goal set before us by the Creator of life in human beings.

Whether or not the “optimum” condition includes the goals which HRA Eeman has set before us, I am not in a position to say, but one thing seems fairly clear, and that is the fact that the goals were more fully outlined, the methods of attaining them more clearly given, and the basic philosophy more perfectly fitted to match methods, than in any of the later systems in which methods are still being changed at the rate of a new “technique” a month and in which theories change even more rapidly.

I strongly recommend that any HRA who plans to make even a tentative study of the materials of the now scattered Dianetics field, begin by obtaining the book which has just been discussed ($1.30, post free), and, while ordering, a copy of CO-OPERATIVE HEALING, a later book of great value. ($2.60, post paid.) Owing to the advantage we enjoy because of the exchange rate, this is indeed a bargain value for two such important books. Address: L.E. Eeman, H.R.A., 24 Baker St., London W2, England. Say you are an HRA and ask to have your copies autographed directly to you if you plan to keep them.  (Much more will be said in the Bulletins concerning this work of discovery so ably carried out by Mr. Eeman. He has generously given permission to quote from both books, but, of course, there is no substitute for a full study of the books at first hand.)

INVITING POSSIBILITIES in the Eeman methods

Contained in his summary of the steps (Self and Superman, Chap. 11, pg. 206 and on), which lead from one level of consciousness to the next. I quote:

“A rough outline of what the explorer may expect to discover as he invades successive regions of the subconscious may not be out of place.

“He enters upon his voyage of exploration of the subconscious realms in the attitude of the most perfect quiescence he can achieve, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

“What then is his state of consciousness?

“At the outset, he will notice that those things which impinge on the consciousness are objective. They are things of the outside and reach him through his senses. He feels the weight of his body on the couch, the cold atmosphere, his clothes. He hears voices, noises, the traffic outside. He sees the wall, senses the passing of time. He dwells in time and space; his consciousness is nourished on relatives.

“This state may be termed objective consciousness. For a while this state endures; the subject continues to receive impressions from the outside; his perceptions merely reflect the reactions of his senses to the objective world.

“After a time the vividness and intensity of these outside messages weaken, and eventually, although the objective world still continues to act upon the subject just as before, his senses seem no longer to function, and outside all appears silence and peace.

(“There follows a period of apparent blankness, during which the subject’s consciousness does not seem to be affected by any phenomenon. This period varies in length from subject to subject, and from time to time, and its characteristics are also more or less marked.

“It is merely a period of transition – as careful observation will establish – and is occupied in the gradual transference of energy from the objective to the subjective processes.

“Under wakeful conditions, the amount of energy devoted to subjective processes is just sufficient for current needs of the system, and these processes are not carried out in a manner sufficiently vigorous to attract the subject’s attention to their performance. Moreover, the subject’s attention is generally fully occupied at such times in the observation of objective activities.

“When the objective activities are reduced and eventually cease, the energy saved is gradually transferred to subjective work. This is intensified, and gradually attracts the attention of the subject.

“When this has fully developed, the consciousness becomes exclusively engrossed in the inside sensations of the body, to the exclusion of all external perceptions. The subject has then entered the second state of consciousness, subjective consciousness.

“This is recognizable by all, although a little more care in observation and a certain determination to remain conscious are required.

“For a while this state endures; the subject continues to receive physical impressions from the inside, he becomes more and more conscious of his breathing, improving circulation and the resulting warmth; he feels this warmth spreading into parts of the body that were previously less warm although he had not been aware of the fact; he is struck by an increasing sense of glow and well being that seems to spread its beneficent action more and more deeply as the body becomes heavier and heavier. The subject then realizes that his body is asleep, and that its work is being performed extremely well although he himself has remained awake.

“As the intensity of the metabolic processes increases it tends to reach the level of power at which they appear to be outside the reach of the subject’s observation, or so one would conclude from the fact that gradually his consciousness of them completely vanishes. With his physical self, apparently, all has become silence and peace, just as a little previously, outside, all had become silence and peace.

“There follows (a second period of apparent blankness during which the subject does not seem to be affected by any phenomenon. This is merely a period of transition, and is marked by gradual transference of energy, increased in quality through rest, from satisfied physical processes to mental processes. Gradually the consciousness of the subject, which has, by now, completely lost sight of both objective and subjective physical phenomena, becomes aware of the fact that he is still AWARE, but aware of nothing physical, aware of himself, obviously, since he is aware of the fact that he is aware, and yet is aware of nothing of the body.”

When this has developed, the consciousness becomes exclusively engrossed in mutation, in the self, merely being and acting metaphysically. The subject has then entered the third state of consciousness; self or super-consciousness. “This is also recognizable by all, but all will not reach it at the first attempt. Until they do, they are at liberty to deny both its existence and its accessibility, but it were charitable to warn them that such denial will offer insurmountable obstacles to their attainment of it.

“Fierce determination to remain conscious – although, to all outside appearances, fast asleep – and great concentration are essential.

“For a while this state endures; the subject becomes more and more clearly aware of his existence as an individual, apart from his physical shell, he experiences more and more definitely what he may feel must be true contact with his self, his soul, and out of this experience he may evolve a conviction of survival after physical death which nothing will ever endanger, a certainty of the unending and untrammeled beyond.

“Gradually this state of self-consciousness, as all its predecessors, seems to elude the subject, and if he then is fortunate enough to retain his consciousness, be may enter the fourth state of consciousness: one-consciousness.

“Anyone who has ever been blessed enough merely to set foot on the threshold of this plane of consciousness is not likely ever to forget the indescribable sense of beatific revelation it engenders. We seem at one instant to be divine, to leap to understanding of things as yet undreamt, to vault in but one second the dense barriers of ages, to pierce in one fierce burst the veils of generations, and then fall by the way, dazed by the revelation, rejoicing though, beyond the force of words, that, knowing not what we have known, we should still know beyond the pangs of doubt, that in one spark we had known All.

“What is left after that? The sense of oneness with the Infinite, the sense of at-one-ment with the true, the just, the unending, the unlimited, the sense that one is a part of that whole, and that whether it takes years or days, ages or seconds, the time will come when the consciousness of that oneness shall be our patrimony, a consummation that is worth waiting for.”

THIS GOAL RESEMBLES MORE THAT OF ZEN REALIZATION than does the more poorly defined goal of the “optimum” state. In Self and Superman, little is said of the complex and its removal, but in the later and larger book, Coperative Healing, Mr. Eeman has gone into that angle more fully, describing his methods of getting at the complex and removing it, and giving his methodology the name of “Myognosis.” In this method he depends on the clues offered by tensed muscles to point the way to the complex. The older, slower method of “free association” is avoided as less safe, rapid, specific or controllable.

HRA Rev. Jessie Curl is out of Los Angeles until about October 26th, at which time she will return and open her new office at 1515 Wilshire Blvd., Apt. 2, Girard Apts., Los Angeles 17, Calif. She reports continuing good results in her healing work done with the spirit aid of Hoo`ola, who recently has been joined, I am told, by his spirit wife. Rev. Curl may also have her own church soon. Her absent healing work continues, and she may be reached at the address just given.

THE TMHG HEALING WORK OF THE HRA has been set back an hour to conform with the return to standard time for the winter months. 3 and 7 P.M. are still the hours, seven days a week. I am very happy to be able to report that almost every mail brings some good report on the healing results. One mail recently brought four good reports. It is possible that the new plan of limiting treatments through TMHG to those who have written in at the beginning of each month, has helped by preventing waste of time and energy on requests from those HRAs who may long since have ceased to sit in at the appointed hours or to offer their share of the mana needed by the Poe Aumakua to aid us as the energy is directed to one HRA after another. It is also possible that the self-cleansing (of complexes) which I have been doing, has made me a better channel for the flow of mana and its direction. The two spirits connected with the small ivory ikons by the Sandwiths, are invited to help at all sittings, and the work is conducted facing the large healing picture so kindly sent to us by HRA Mrs. Kingsley Tarpey, of London.

THE SELF-CLEANSING METHOD which I am using consists of taking a few minutes each night (or after any period of slight upset during the day) to “forgive” or let go of and put aside any conscious or half-sensed irritation or worry, then to make contact with the Aumakua, ask that it finish the clearing away of all such things (I say, “Please forgive…”) and then relax and wait. There come a few yawns or other slight physical reactions, and all is cleansed – the state of mind being left serene. This is proving to be a most helpful and practical method, and it does not call for the help of a second person, a factor greatly in its favor.

HRA Florence E. Wilcox, 2921 Francis Ave., Los Angeles 5, Calif., would like to meet other HRAs living near her.

The new Tregear Maori Comparative Dictionary is helping turn up many new and helpful word and root meanings. I consider it the first unit of equipment in our proposed HUNA LABORATORY. A recent study brought to light the strange fact that na Kahuna had only the word lima to use to designate the entire arm and hand. In the following passage (Isaiah 40:10), the translators had to insert “hand” because only “arm” appeared in the original as given by a good kahuna: “Behold, the Lord God will come with strong (hand) and his ARM shall rule for him…” The secret is that the fingers were always mentioned separately by na Kahuna, using the word mana`mana for them which hold the secret meaning of the mana being divided between the Aunihipili and Aumakua to make the latter strong and able to “rule” or make changes on the dense physical level in answer to prayer, or on the level of the future aka pattern world as well. The passage also says, 11 …his reward is with him.” Utu, is “reward”, but the secret comes out in its secondary or Huna meaning of “to absorb water, like a sponge,” which confirms the fact that the Aumakua MUST be given its share of the low mana to enable it to work for us.

A HEALING PICTURE FOR THE HUNA LABORATORY has arrived at the Study

As will be recalled, HRA Mrs. Kingsley Tarpey, healer and Biometric Diagnostician well known to the medical profession in London, has long experimented with the making of healing pictures, done in oils and everything potentized to over 600 degrees Biometric to give off healing radiations. Her work also includes placing the power in woolen cloths, one of which she sent to the Study early in the year.

Her method of making what may be called “healing centers” or even “icons,” is to bless them and work over them until, when they are touched or seen (as in the case of a painting) by a patient, the patient’s Biometric reading goes up to at least 600 degrees. Her experience has been that those who are mentally receptive can be either completely healed or greatly benefited. It has been her dream that a permanent place of exhibit might be founded where potentized pictures could be hung for those in need of healing to come and view. (To this end she has potentized pictures to sell at prices from $65 and higher, and letters for her may be sent through me, or sent directly to her at 35, Downside Crescent, London, N.W. 3, England. A letter of appreciation from any HRA would be a joy to her, and if a gift of money could be sent along to help her in the loving Service she performs, it would greatly smooth the way for her and for the many whom she heals, knowing well that they will never be able to give her more in return than gratitude.

With the picture, which was sent by HRAs George and Helen Sandwith, who touched port here recently and who gave a glowing and loving account of the artist as “a real kahuna of the West,” came also a reproduction of another healing picture – a quiet English rural scene with road, house and sea cupped by hills. There was also a letter telling the history of the gift painting. Here it is.

THE HISTORY OF THE PICTURE – April, 1952

“In the middle twenties I was a member of the Society for Psychical Research. On the introduction of Sir Oliver Lodge I was able to get some sittings with the well-known medium, Mrs. Osborne Leonard. Some of my communications were considered good enough to merit careful investigation and testing. A clergyman of the name of William Irving, who was also a member, was having sittings at the same time. We had not met and had no personal knowledge of one another. My communication was from my husband, Mr. Irving’s from his wife, Dora.

“At one of my sittings Mrs. Leonard’s control, ’Feda’ told me that Dora had been to my flat. She said that my husband and Dora had an interest in the same kind of ‘evidence,’ and thought that they could do something like the ‘cross correspondence.’ The difficulty was that I could only afford about two sittings a year, and the intervals between messages were so long. I laid my part of it before Miss Isabel Newton, the Secretary, and the Council thought it good enough evidence to give me a few of the special sittings reserved for special occasions. Dora visited my flat and gave a detailed account of it to Mr. Irving in one of his sittings. This he took to the Secretary at once.

“The Society sent an investigator to my flat. Point by point he verified Dora’s notes. These tests were given in the ‘Proceedings’ of the Society and are duly verified by the investigator and by me. They were extraordinarily accurate and recognizable. In speaking of the picture she said, ‘There was one which I liked especially. It was a picture of trees [in a] row. Of course, there are trees in several pictures. Of one you could say that it was a garden with trees, and of another, that it is a field with trees, or a road with trees, but of this you could only say that it is a portrait of trees’.

“This was so true that I sent the picture with a note to the S.P.R. saying that I thought either Tom’s’ husband or the Society should have the picture as the evidence of survival was so good.

“Last year I was asked to give a talk to a group of the ‘London Spiritualist Association’ on some of my evidential sittings, and I chose this experience among others. While I was getting my material together, I was rung-up by an old friend, E.J. Dingwall, a well-known investigator. He asked me if I remembered a picture and a letter I had sent to the Society many years before. He had been helping to turn out and clear up accumulations and had come across these. Did I want them? I said I did, and he sent them around by special messenger. I used the picture to illustrate my talk the following week and now I am sending the ‘Portrait of Trees’ to Mr. Max Long. The story, I think, may give it extra point and interest.”

The picture, of course, is for us all, and for the time when we will have a permanent center and can hang it in just the right light in a quiet place where all may sit before it, make their contact, and open themselves to the healing radiations. I have already written to HRA Mrs. Kingsley Tarpey to express our thanks and to tell her that just the right frame chanced to be on hand – a gift last year from HRA Mrs. A.H. Savage, and intended for a portrait of Cigbo.

HRA Verne Cameron went with me to the ship at the port to call on the Sandwiths – who turned out to be delightful friends -and before the picture was taken from its wrappings, he tested it with the Aurameter and found a large and strongly rounded aura. This was even stronger when the wrappings were removed.

The picture has been given the best place possible in the Study and looks out at the prayer table and the letters used in the TMHG at 3 and 7, and at letters worked over between times for special and pressing needs. Later on, a series of tests are planned to discover what may be just the right method of calling on the healing powers in the picture. It is 132 x 17, and gives a startling impression to anyone who has viewed the Grand Canyon of the Colorado from its pine covered rim, that it is a scene looking down between two great pines, the vast void of the canyon all filled with bright mist through which the rich yellows and orange and brown glow and form vague outlines. It is very beautiful, and a joy to turn toward [it] from my desk as moments allow.

THE WORK OF THE HUNA LABORATORY cannot wait on the collection of funds sufficient to provide a center and man it, but this is no great obstacle. Different HRAs have been volunteering to run tests to the best of their ability on different test projects which interest them. This seems to me a very good way to push ahead, and even with the few dollars made available for aiding such projects, much will be accomplished. All of these projects will tend to lead us eventually into larger Lab activities, and one fine day we will have a center of the needed kind. The experiments conducted last year by HRAs Dr. and Mrs. Fred Reinhold, showed conclusively that the addition of Huna’s Aumakua to the general form of Dianetics was markedly successful. They are also testing combinations of therapy in which suggestion and the “whiff of gas” methods are used. HRAs Hal and Mary Falvey, in Chicago, are running psychic tests to try to learn more about the question of whether we reincarnate once for each step upward of the three selves, whether there are three selves or only one, and whether information can be had to give new light on the whole matter.

HRA Thelia Newcomer, who lives in Pennsylvania, has been much interested in Dianetics and the several variations of the system. She has offered to continue test work to the best of her ability and hopes to be able to open a small lab center in due time to offer help in these lines to those wishing it. Some time ago she wrote:

“In November I got an ‘Intensive Run,’ 42 hours in six days of auditing from a most excellent auditor in New York. It took me right off my whole foundation for the time, but I did find and USE the Aumakua while being audited.

I had a complete and conscious awareness, even saw a very near, clear symbol for it which I could easily and with no to-do use to eradicate old aches and pains. I could call it ‘my glory stuff’ instead of the undifferentiated stuff Zen describes.”

I met Eugene Altman in New York, who came out with the ‘Examiner Technique’ of auditing which seems to me progressed on the Kitselman ‘Integration Therapy’ (E’). Both are well worth knowing, having a similar use of the three elements:

(Note: “reactive mind” is Hubbard’s term substituted for what we call in Huna the Aunihipili. MFL)

“Well, I came home and used the technique used on me, on my husband. He was down to about 1.5 on a 0 to 4 scale, and had about five ‘phonograph records’ as total communication. I used what is called ‘effort technique,’ asking for effort and then counter effort on anything with which he had trouble, such as thought, emotion or action.

“When he said he had a pain in his heart, I said, ‘Could you increase that pain?’ When he said ‘Yes’ and mentally increased it. There then came to him the impression of a scene. I asked for decrease of heart pain, and in came another scene. I played around back and forth, letting his Aumakua give me either thought on that scene – in effort, or in decrease of effort – or action or feeling.

“I let the Aumakua choose what it wanted to work on by asking what he wanted to talk about as we started the session, and from there on the Aumakua took over and handled only enough reactive stuff for him to work with at the moment. (‘Reactive stuff’ is the fixation type of forgotten memories to which the Aunihipili reacts and which causes trouble. MFL.)

“Now remember that he was extremely aberrated, with much talk of death. With this method, in 15 hours, we covered scenes, thoughts, actions and feeling, working backward from the age of 17 years to 3 years, 2 years, birth, the fetal period, time of being forced into conception, and then back through lives in Egypt, Gaul, Switzerland, Tyre, the Neanderthal period, Persia, several times back again in Egypt, with recognition and descriptions of how he lived and died.

Three times we met and either married or were merely on intimate terms. Our children, even our pets, were recalled, all in only 15 hours. And, a new man is emerging, a nice, agreeable, somewhat happy man, a man who no longer complains about any and all things, and whose initiative is increasing greatly.

“When his Aumakua steps back, I allow him to use me to help him open doors, go through walls, etc., that the reactive mind uses to keep him out of ‘crystallized areas.’ (Away from the area of the hidden fixations. MFL) It is magnificent to watch the Aumakua select the rigid material and avoid that which will produce too much stress.

“My husband has always had throat trouble. Now it comes out that he was killed three times in past incarnations by arrows or stones striking through or against his neck. His throat had been sore for two weeks, but cleared up the day we found those incidents.

“I’ve also had two marvelous healing demonstrations using Huna methods. A man asked me to heal him of diabetes. He would not admit any bad deeds in past years against his fellow men, but I knew of some and told him if he were free of ’sin’ – he is a Holy Roller – he’d get an instant healing. If not, he’d get help very likely, but not instant healing. I gave the treatment and felt the results. He was cured in that one treatment of prostate trouble which he had had for years, and of which I did not know, also an old case of sinus, an old one of heart and throat trouble. He said that he felt years younger. All sugar disappeared, but returned later. His wife was cured of what the doctors called cancer and heart trouble, in one treatment. Of course, all was most favorable for me as they believed in me.

I gave them enough hocus-pocus for physical stimulus for the Aunihipili in each case to get their Aunihipili to get busy, and no wonder they got results. My thanks to you and Huna for all this. Keep up the good work.”

In a later Bulletin I will give her tentative plans for a Lab center where Huna and Huna-Dianetics variations can be tested and used to aid those in need and to accumulate information and data.

HRA Clarence Hubbard, (151 Farmington Ave., Hartford, Conn.) writes concerning the special healing work which he and HRA Charles Pitts volunteered to undertake in addition to the TMHG. HRA James Rhodes, 5531 Homeside Ave., Los Angeles 16, Calif., has also offered help in this project and we hope for several more volunteers who will do intensive absent treatment work after the Huna method for those not fully helped in the TMHG periods.

A new rule will have to be observed in this work. All who write to ask for special healing help must provide clear ink signatures on each letter for the purpose of good contact via the aka thread. Pencil seems not to be good. Also, and this is very important, a few lines must be sent every ten days to report results or lack of them, otherwise the treatments will be discontinued. It is not right or fair to leave healers up in the air with no word as to what has happened – forced to work on and on in the dark. Letters should be sent to each of the healers requested to treat, not to me at the Study, and reports every ten days should be made directly to them. This ten day rule will serve to clear the lists automatically. Also, from now on, the TMHG list here at the Study will be cleared on the first of each month if no report is sent in, except in chronic cases on which continual work may go on and on, as in the case of Gregg – who was again placed in proper quarters and given attention for the broken hand. He was well enough this week to be taken again for a short auto ride by his mother, and to tell her that he “had seen a Master” – a thing which seemed to have impressed him greatly. Perhaps this is the beginning of a new phase in which more effective aid will be given for the complete and final healing. Stress your TMHG prayers for Gregg.

HRA GROUP LEADER, E.C. of Madison, Wis., writes, “Dear M.F.L. Wonderful, wonderful! I knew the day would come when you could read Huna into the Bible. Just after reading your Bulletin this morning early, I thought of the 91st Psalm, supposedly the great healing Psalm. ‘He that dwelled in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty,’ etc. The secret place of the most High – our Super conscious – when we reach that perfect contact we surely shall be abiding in or as a shadow of the Almighty. It all rings clearly in one’s thoughts when placed there. I sincerely hope you continue on the present path and I know you will find that which you are seeking… shall be happy when we can all place ourselves without fixations in contact with the Aumakua and receive that which is ours – a right knowledge of instant healing and a perfect knowledge of all that is needed. Our group constantly prays for your guidance.”

Such letters are many, and they are most heartening indeed. Verse 3 of the psalm and verse 13, contain the symbols of the small, medium and large fixations, each more dangerous than the other, will underscore the symbol words.

Psalm 91:3. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and the noisome pestilence, (13). Thou shall tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shall thou trample under feet.”  As we have seen in earlier studies, the rite of washing the feet concerns the method by which one person helps another to get his feet or Aunihipili cleansed of fixations. Here we have stress on the symbolic word “trample,” indicating that the old lions of fixation will be cleared and also the new young or new lion of fixation which may develop after the first clearing or cleansing, but which will be removed in its turn. The dragon and the serpent have played a large part in Huna as a symbol of the fixation-sins, and each has been dramatized into human semblance as a devil or Satan, always tempting, always trying to snare the heedless. Birds were snared with cords, and the bird was the symbol of any one of the three spirits or selves of man. As the Aumakua, it descended as a dove on Jesus when he had been cleansed by the water of baptism. In Huna words, the full contact with the Aumakua was symbolized by the descent. The aka threads which connect one memory with another when they are made, rationalized and given their proper values, are not properly connected in the case of the impressions or thoughts which go unrationalized by the Auhane and into the “black sack” of Aunihipili memory. They have aka threads, but these are jumbled and tangled. They become a snare because they capture the man when he treads upon them or triggers them into action – action accompanied with an emotional outburst, urge or command which cannot be resisted.

THANKS SO MUCH for trying to find a copy of the Tregear Comparative Maori Polynesian English Dictionary for me. Old book stores in several cities in America, Holland and England have been investigated. Advertising for the book has been done. While no word has come as yet from Australia, I am sure that the search will be carried on there with even greater chance of success.

THE BACH REMEDY BOOK, The Twelve Healers, which describes in the present edition and form, the 38 mental states which call for the use of an appropriate “Remedy,” and which was presented to enable the layman to study himself and his outlook on life and prescribe his own dosage, is available for those who wish them. HRA Nora Weeks, of the Bach Team in England, generously donated a half dozen copies to Cigbo to be sold at $5.00 each, the proceeds to go into his box.

One HRA wrote in this week to say he had been able to clear up sinus conditions of very long standing by the use of the crab apple remedy, indicated for those feeling that there is something about them that needs cleansing. HRA Nora Weeks tells me that moods and outlooks were recognized as things caused by fixations and that Dr. Bach was well aware of this in working out the 38 Remedies and the mental states associated with each. His effort to make the use of the Remedies simple in the extreme prevented any attempt to explain things in the terms of the complex and other matters which were not too well understood. Several HRAs now have sets of the Remedies and are running their own tests, using The Twelve Healers and testing with the pendulum or electronics instruments. Orders sent to Nora Weeks have come through best.

“TINTED LETTERS” are, through necessity, being used to try to keep up with my correspondence and extra-Huna work. If you wish an answer of this kind – with my personal news made up each week, all you have to do is send a self addressed envelope and say, “Tinned letter” please. Cigbo has been trained to fill such envelopes and seal them with a fast lick, saving ‘boss’ much of the kind of time he just hasn’t got enough of to go around. I am badly in need of more time to go to the library to study the Huna words in the Tregear Dictionary. Keep praying hard for world peace and sanity. It is coming nearer and nearer.

A letter from Cigbo

Dear Aunties and Uncles:
Boss says I can have the empity end of this sheet to write to you all and espress my terrible BIG best thanks for the help you have sent to keep ME and my box going. But for those who haven’t helped for some time if they were able – or haven’t writ to me even, it is my sad job to anounce again that one fine day they will wake up to find themselves dead wood. I don’t send out notices, so if your bullington just stops, you can have three guesses why.

And now, Purrdisions of Thinks to Come, by MY communicator, the spirik of my former wise friend, Mr. Thomas Kat. 101 % correck, sometimes.

That all the other communicators will be wrong and only him right.
That all the other communicators will claim they averted the terrible catastrophes they profited earlier, when if they keep right on NOT happening all of 1952 and 1953 etc. etc. and etc.

That because little things like atembums and hide:rogen bums and dead rays and germ warfare (or foul), don’t scare everybody enough to keep them paying anxious attention, the communicators will invent something new and wonderful to hear about and too awful to even imagine – like all the milk bottles in the world getting bone dry over night, or like the frying saucers getting so thick in the air they shut off all the sunlight and the earthen all free solid.

That there WILL NOT be a earth cake in the pacific that will make Japan stink to the bottom of the ocean and. all of California jar loose and turn over “fip-fop” into the see, causing a tidal rave that will flood the streets of Los Angeles worse than a two inch rain.

That in July all American ephelunts will start fighting each other, and then pretty soon stop and start fighting all American donkeyies. This will go on until early November unless everyone gets tired and they all shake hoofs and call it off and decide maybe they’ll let Uncle Joe come over and see what he can do about running the country.

That by 1953 everyone who went to hole up in the mountings and far places will be coming back home.    
Anyway, BIG love, Cigbo, hra profit, if/any

THE $64 SAUCER QUESTION GETS A SWIFT ANSWER

On page 3 of Bulletin 76, I expressed myself as follows, “Can someone tell me what those ‘intelligences’ who guide the several kinds of flying saucers would want down here?” I was delighted with the swift response from all sides. From Colorado came a letter telling me of a psychic who was in excellent contact with the saucer men and who found them friendly, wise and inclined to be helpful. From two sources I learned that on the desert in the Palm Springs region of California, at Giant Rock, a group led by a young man of fine psychic abilities had been for some time in contact with the visitors and had accumulated enough notes from the trance sittings to make a book. Individuals at the seances report being able to experience a rather amazing process of some kind which I gather is to enter some sort of “tube,” real or of aesthetic material, and in some way visit the saucer people on other planets or aesthetic levels and to return with a very excellent sensory set of impressions. I have been unable to get the exact nature of these impressions, but was assured by one friend who phoned me, that she had taken her turn at this form of astral or psychic travel and was convinced that her experience had been actual and real.

ALL NIGHT LONG these seances continue, with breaks for refreshments, and the description makes one wish to attend and hear and experience and be amazed – at least be well entertained. (Cigbo says to tell you that he understands they have real cream for the coffee, and that as far as he is personally concerned, he could go for EVERYTHING from sailing through the tube into space and back to the matter of the saucers, and especially saucers with perhaps cream in them – in which case he could go for this set of explanations “crook, rine and stinker.”) There is a motor court close, and I believe a good place to eat. Seances are held once a week and the public is not locked out so long as the ones asking permission to attend are sincere in their interest and not filled with the unholy zeal of the type of psychical researcher who is convinced ahead of time that spirits do not exist and is out to prove it at any cost.

USUAL BSRA releases turn out to be the best source of well organized and classified information. This covers every angle, giving all that is scientifically or speculatively possible, then digesting the best obtainable psychic information to a careful nicety. The May 3 SRA release made up to send out to the authorities and those of the public who might be in key positions and in need of briefing on the subject, as of 1950, is still as good and as inclusive as when HRA Meade Layne made it up and sent it out. Much new material has been added and released, and more is on the way, but the basic ideas continue to stand. Since the Pentagon has at last admitted that they can no longer deny the fact of saucers, and since the public has been told of this by LIFE and some millions of heads have peen jerked up out of the sand, there might be panic of the first order should too many saucers suddenly visit us. The BSRA labor of love “for the good of the order” may yet pay off in a large way.

ONE HRA RESERVATION on the general opinion that the saucers are from extra-earth places of origin, needs to be set down for the record.  Here it is: “Will you fellows please move over on the saucer bench, and make room for Mary and me? Remember our FATE magazine article, written months before publication – at the height of the official pooh-poohing about saucers? In it, Mary says saucers are real, and adds that they are earth-made; the latter hasn’t been proved, but the first now is considered a fact by intelligent people, belatedly.” (Article by HRAs Hal and Mary Falvey, who are doing some remarkable investigational work on past incarnations in terms of the Aunihipili and the Auhane, in an endeavor to get back to the time when the present na Auhane – their own – were graduating from the Aunihipili state. If this is a success, they will then try to get back to observe the transition of the present na Aunihipili from some subhuman level to that of the Aunihipili human. They are back to about 1300 A.D. so far, and into an incarnation in what is now Serbia. Words that are picked up seem to be in antique Serbian. If any HRA linguist is in a position to pass on such words, will he communicate?)

Hal writes: Bulletins 75 andD 76 are HISTORY-MAKING. You are getting at the ’strong meat’ mentioned, but not revealed in the New Testament. Incidentally, since the TEACHING is always greater than the teacher, you have made immaterial the old question of whether Jesus ever actually existed. I think He did, but His purpose was the teaching, and HERE IT IS. Truly, if Yoga means the yoking-together of knowledge – by implication, very deep knowledge – you are a Master Yogi. Does the New Testament give us, ‘Take my yoke, for it is light,’ etc.? I believe Jesus meant, ‘my Yoga, my philosophy.’”

COMMENT ON “YOKE.” Yes, Hal, you have something important there. Let me give the last three verses – Matt. 11:28 to 30.

“Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls for my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

In Huna, as shown by the recent studies of many words and roots, the “burden” is the load of fixations which ties up and wastes much of the mana. This “burden,” at its heaviest, is the CROSS, under which Jesus grew so weak (lack of mana) that he fell, so that he had to have another come to carry the burden for him (as one could not wash one’s own feet, in the rite coupled with the Last Supper). The “yoke” was not the one used on oxen. It was the pole on which two men carry between them a single burden, sharing the load. The hidden or secondary meaning of the word (au`amo) is to help another get rid of his burden of fixations by the symbolic process of washing (root au) them away. Jesus was offering to teach the secret of the existence of the fixations and the method by which two people, with the help of the Aumakua of each of them, and of the Aunihipili of the helper, could get at the fixations and drain them off.

“Meek and lowly of heart” give us the Aunihipili, which Jesus represented in his person, just as he frequently represented himself as the Aumakua. “Easy” has the Huna meaning of being able to do something, and to cause something to come forth, so we see that the person who helps another in this way is the one who is able to get the fixations to come to the surface so that they can be drained off. The one doing this work is NOT the one burdened by the fixations, so his burden is both easy and light. “Rest” is freedom from sickness, pain etc.

THE HEART IS THE SYMBOL OF THE AUNIHIPILI all through the teachings of Jesus. The Huna word is naau which included all the organs inside the body. “My burden is light,” gives us, “My burden of fixations now weighs less or is lighter” (pa`o`no ma`ma,) and the root and hidden symbol meanings are these: “My fixations have been removed by the symbolic process of digging them out as a bird (spirit or Aumakua symbol also) digs things out with its bill, (pa: “to strike,” symbol also of contacting the Aumakua via the aka cord, and o: “to open or pierce with something pointed and sharp,” symbol of opening the fixation or recalling it to memory to drain it off.) The fixations were as if hidden in a pit dug secretly in the ground, (the combined roots, pao, give this meaning.) The symbol of the pit is a variation of the “black sack” in which memories are stored by the Aunihipili, and in which fixation memories become lost to the Auhane, but not to the Aunihipili. To have these brought to light is the purpose of the “digging up” process. And, when the fixation memories or second class “sins” are brought up, they then are rationalized and the heavy charge of mana tied up in them is released by the symbolic process of “drying them out” or removing the water, which is the symbol of mana. The roots of ma`ma: “To be light in weight,” mean “to dry out, fade or wither as a flower or plant,” the now familiar symbol of draining out the water-mana charge from a memory-cluster-fixation.

IF THE AUNIHIPILI THINKS ITS SURVIVAL in some way depends on what it believes to be a fact, although the true condition is just the opposite and the belief is bound up in a fixation, it, the Aunihipili, will do its best to prevent the fixation from being touched and drained off. For example, if there are deep and fixed beliefs in the dogmas or external teachings of Jesus, the person afflicted with such beliefs will find much internal emotional reaction against such discoveries as we are now bringing to light in Huna research into the Old and New Testament teachings. Several HRAs have evidently reacted (to various degrees) in this way. They are unable to hold off and keep the open mind of the true researcher until all the evidence is in, but suddenly find themselves throwing out Huna, suddenly thinking it is “black magic,” or that it has been the cause of some illness or trouble which has overtaken them. They usually do not realize that what we are finding has nothing to do with the morals and ethics of the teachings, or with the fact that we need to make amends for sins of hurting others. Nor is the question of whether Jesus lived, was a man, or was a god or a combination of the two at stake. Even the matter of whether he lived, and died on the cross, in the literal sense is not involved. What IS involved is the Huna lore symbolized or hidden behind the very words of the accounts. We are finding new light on the nature of man, on “sin,” on the fixation and the need to remove it, on the part played by the fixation and its removal in healing and in living the fuller life in which all of our faculties are greatly released and enhanced for better action.

“YE SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH, AND THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE” could be our HRA motto. A “true” thing is one correctly thought of with the Auhane mind. It is a memory fully rationalized. When a false conception is formed by the Aunihipili and made into a secret memory, it is the reverse of “true,” but if the fixation-memories can be dug up from the “secret pit” of the Aunihipili and rationalized – their correct meanings seen clearly – one then knows again the TRUTH and is SET FREE of the bondage to the things of “darkness.”

IN A LETTER OF RESIGNATION, one HRA wrote, “I believe Jesus did live in the flesh. I was baptized a Christian and that is what I want. I have studied with the idea of trying to throw more light on the teachings of Jesus. When I became ill I realized my true feelings on that score, and I wish to make a fresh start. I can see that being an HRA was a mental block to me, even though I do agree on some of the Huna beliefs. And the strange part is that I discovered that I had many beliefs and even fears that I had not been aware of. I even found out that I wasn’t as good a Christian as I thought I was and that I have to start the climb again toward the light. Another period of being born a new.”

TO BE “BORN AGAIN” in the orthodox Christian way, is a very vague and uncertain process of repentance, baptism, and receiving a mystic gift of something difficult at best to understand: the “Holy Spirit” or “Comforter.” The Huna word for “to be born” is ha`nau, and the roots give us the secret of what has to be done for a new birth. One throws up and chews again the cud, as a cow, and one breathes hard. This is a picturesque symbol of the undigested or unrationalized fixation-memories which have to be “thrown up” and “chewed again” or brought to the light and rationalized. When the mana charge is in this way drained out of the fixation, there results a thing which is called “ventilation” by those using the modern Dianetic methods, and which is a more labored or harder breathing. It may be a few yawns. (To reincarnate is not to be born again, in the language of the Secret. It is “to have a new life,” ola`honua, as I understand the words and their meanings and symbols.)

DIANETICS CHURCHES  have recently been founded, so clearly have a few individuals seen the religious implication of the fixation. This information comes through Dwight H. Bulkley. The churches are both in Texas. One is called “Church of the Wayfarer,” the other, “Church of the Transition.” Mr. Bulkley, by the way, is the author of a book, THE MECHANISMS OF LIFE, which he describes on the cover as, “A preliminary release of discoveries inaugurating a revolution in the life sciences – with the physicochemical secret of life itself, mechanisms of integration, mind, memory, responses, psychosomatics, telepathy, and techniques for perfect health and sanity.” The book is one which a student of the “life sciences” will find most interesting. Not being such a student, I cannot venture to express an opinion on the validity or importance of the discoveries and of the theories. A good outline of Dianetics, as it was in its first presentation, is given and is very helpful in getting at the basic ideas and theories in the first book on the subject by L. Ron Hubbard. Mr. Bulkley’s book may be had from him. $2.08. 350 So Mills Ave, Claremont, Calif. To bring us more up to the minute on Dianetics, he writes, “I have accepted the HANDBOOK FOR PRE CLEARS as the best of Hubbard’s works, combining the ‘higher echelons’ of processing. One does not have to accept his theories, but merely DO the stuff step by step.

The ‘de-conditioning’ is there, all through it scanning and scanning, running and running. It is a repetitive process just the same, but ‘running’ whole groups and batches of engrains via their emotional and thought common denominators. “Scanning” is going back over the memories which one can recall and reliving events in one’s life. If one touches on some event to which a fixation or “engram” is related, there may come yawns or heavier breathing as the process of remembering, reliving and rationalizing the event takes place almost automatically. In my personal tests of this method, I found, rather to my surprise, that this heavy breathing (ha) effect came when I touched on events in my life which I had not suspected of leaving their mark on me in the form of a fixation, even if but a small one. When one is thwarted in a strong effort, greatly aroused emotionally, or suffers sudden shock or pain, the fixations seem to form most readily. I reviewed all such moments which I could recall during the course of a sleepless part of a night, and I found that by asking the Aumakua to cleanse, kala: “restore light,” or “forgive”- these “sin” events which were “missing of the mark” or a departure from the normal course of living, I seemed to be freed of the element of fixation held by the memory of the event recalled. Later, upon again recalling the memory and reliving the event, I found that there was no longer a “ventilating” reaction and that I was able to see all events so handled with something like a new and more rational point of view.

THE HANDBOOK FOR PRECLEARS, of which Mr. Bulkley writes, should still be available from Don Purcell, Dianetics Foundation, 211 West Douglas, Wichita, Kansas. $2, post free. I understand, however, that L. Ron Hubbard is no longer at Wichita and that there has been some diversity of plans and changes in organization. This HANDBOOK contains instructions for anyone to follow to take steps toward correcting his pattern of personal reaction to things and conditions met in life. Charts are given to help one see where one may stand on the mental “tone scale,” or, we might say, how “mature” of mind one may be. Pages of classified concepts are given so that self-examination in relation to them can be carried on over an extended period of time. One’s outlook on life and in-look on one’s own habitual reactions should gradually change for the better. It is stated that while one may be less than “clear” at the end of the work, an “auditor” should find it very much easier to complete the task of clearing away all engrams and restoring the one audited to his best.

ROME NOW QUALIFIES ITS “NO.” In the last Bulletin I mentioned the painful fact that one of the men high in the Church at Rome had written an article warning that any of the faithful who used psychoanalysis or allowed it to be used on them, were in grave danger of committing “mortal sin.” I am happy to be able to report that in TIME the matter was recently discussed and the news given that the position had not been official and was modified to some extent, being left in part, at least, to the decision of the individual. This is indeed good news. The door has not been slammed tight against the findings of modern days.

THE HRA AND HUNA PICTURE BEGINS TO COME TO FOCUS. In our first beginning steps as HRAs, we recognized the fact that we were confronted with the need of a practical way to enable us, as individuals, to get at the fixations and clear them out in order to permit the individual to accept healing from na Aumakua. Lacking na kahuna, and lacking a laboratory in which one person could work on and with others, we made no satisfactory progress in this direction.

We did manage to get enough experimental work done to show that mana could be transferred through the hands with thoughts of healing and beneficial results often obtained. Failures were blamed on the fixations held by the one receiving no benefit.

Psycho-analysis offered little help in getting rid of fixations in so far as our needs were concerned. The money and time costs were too great. Then came our hopeful inspection of the “writing down” methods which promised to get at and reduce fixations, but which had evident faults.

Dianetics challenged the theory that the Aunihipili could not be made to pass up memory-fixation units so that they could be rationalized. New theories were advanced to account for the formation of fixations, and stress was laid on the prenatal sources of “engrams.” This soon led still further back, to engramatic conditions formed and fixed in past incarnations (matching on a microscopic scale the general idea of karma as a retribution).

Many eager workers, including L. Ron Hubbard, who may be said to have constructed Dianetics and to have made it into a popular process, made additions to the theories and practices in this newer approach to psychoanalysis.

The element of religion and the Superconscious or Aumakua, had been left out of Dianetics at first. Later on, these began to be given a place. A.L. Kitselrnan’s “E Therapy” went far in this direction, his “E” being anything believed by the individual to be God or a god, or Higher Being who could be appealed to take over the direction of the endeavors of two people to get at the fixations of one of them and drain them off. Then, in our HRA research, we suddenly discover in the Bible an amazing mass of Huna hidden behind words, symbols and acts. Jesus suddenly stood out as a master kahuna and as one very evidently versed to the last degree in Huna and expert in the art of finding and getting rid of fixations. In addition, he appears to have taught all the things which we know, which we guess at, and which we have not yet come to guess at.

“Sin,” as a hurting of others, and as the “missing of the mark” caused by fixations – a second kind of “sin” begins to mean something definite. The help of the Aumakua in “forgiving” or cleansing away the fixation-sins is shown to be very great. It is almost enough for those who are but slightly complexed. For those complexes, to a middling degree, there is the “foot washing” rite in which the fixations are worked over by two people teamed up as are “auditor” and “preclear” in Dianetics. In cases where the fixations are so great that desperate measures are needed to rescue the victim, the ministrations symbolized by the crucifixion are indicated to be the answer. (At present, in the study of the Huna hidden in the rite of the crucifixion, there are strong indications that we are going to find the use of “shock” methods involving very large accumulations of mana. The angle of obsession also is not to be overlooked, even if handled in a different way and described in other rites in the New Testament.) In any event, the prospect seems very bright at this time for our ultimate success in recovering Huna in full workable form.

The many and frequent recoveries from physical ills on the part of those treated by the Dianetic type of therapy, seem to indicate that the Aumakua almost automatically heals our ills as soon as the “path” along the aka cord of contact between the Aunihipili and the Aumakua is “unblocked” by the removal of fixations. This healing is not always instant. Mr. Hubbard has found that in many cases, the healing comes after an unexplained time lapse of about three days. Again calling to mind the three days of Jesus in the tomb before the resurrection. (This 3 to 4 day time lag is something which we should all keep in mind. Quimby ran into it in his healing practices. We will all do well, if our Huna-type prayers do not get instant answers, to hang on patiently and allow three days or a bit more for the Aumakua to work over conditions in the Aunihipili or in general surroundings in order to give the answer.)

The doctrine of “original sin” bids fair to be replaced by the prenatal “engram,” or even by fixations rooted in a past incarnation. The dogma that “All men are miserable sinners” may well be modified to read, “but some are more miserable than others, according to the degree of fixation from which they suffer.”

THANKS TO DR. BRUNLER AND THE BIOMETER, we now have in his methods, a way to help sort the sheep from the goats – the innately destructive from the naturally constructive individuals. The “devils” or those naturally “bad” can be identified by their Biometric pattern, as can the naturally “good.” Efforts to help others to the “salvation” of freedom from fixations can be made with greater chance of success with the help of the Biometric type of preliminary test for “pattern.” By separating the “good” from the “bad,” we can soon find out what, if anything, can be done to make a good man out of a naturally bad one. We may also work out a method through which we can run a test and find out whether a person is obsessed or influenced to a degree by spirits or “secondary personalities.” We will also benefit greatly in our efforts to “wash feet” or help to carry “crosses,” by being able to determine the Brain Radiation or “soul” I.Q. – evolutionary progress – through the Biometer reading. The average individual who attends church contentedly and is happy to accept what he is told by the preacher, ranges between 250 and 260 degrees Biometric, I understand. Very few persons with readings above 330 are found in the churches unless as leaders. This knowledge of the nature of individuals, to be had through the Biometer, will eventually dictate the type of approach to be made in offering help to get rid of fixations. In addition to the Biometer, there are “radionic” instruments already in use to measure the physical reactions in the body of one being “audited.” I am told that when a fixation is touched upon, even obliquely, the indicator of the instrument will at once swing off the central point at which it shows conditions “normal” or in balance.

SHORT-WAVE ELECTRICAL RADIATION of various glands has been mentioned by Dr. Westlake, HRA, as a promising aid in clearing out fixations, even as a way to clear them without much work on the mental-emotional levels. In addition, there is a type of radiation given through the hand to the patient. This also has produced gratifying results, I understand, but the details are not familiar to me as yet. The Eeman Circuit, mentioned before in the Bulletins, has often been found, upon application in the correct way, to cause the patient to begin remembering the fixation-memory units, to describe them and to allow help to be given to drain them off.

MEDICINES may also help. The Bach Remedies are prescribed to accord with the mental states of the patient as well as through the use of the pendulum or the psychically trained hand without pendulum or instrumental help. Standard medicines may also be useful. Poisons in the body are known to cause insanity rather often. These can be eliminated by operative (teeth) and other means.

TIME CHANGE FOR THE TMHG WORK

The TMHG prayer time is being changed to fit daylight saving changes as of April 27th. California clocks will be set forward one hour. As the hours of 3 and 7 continue to be used, advance by one hour the time you use. If you are going on daylight saving time, you will do this automatically, if not, join in an hour earlier than before. Both the old and new hours will be observed here at the Study until May 6th, inclusive, so that this notice can have time to reach all HRAs in USA.

Additional healing work of the “absent treatment” kind, based on the Huna kind of prayer action, is now being offered by two HRAs, Mr. Clarence Hubbard, 151 Farmington Ave., Hartford, Conn., and Mr. Charles L. Pitts, P.O. Box 562, Sunnyvale, Calif. Your name, written in ink, and your request for help may be sent to either or to both as well as to me here at the Study. Others who wish to offer help such as may be given through prayer, are invited to send in their names and addresses. Mr. Clarence Hubbard has offered to help form a committee to take care of this augmented service, so write to him. Mr. Pitts has been taking over the healing part of services at a small Spiritualistic church in his neighborhood, and will be happy to meet any HRAs in that vicinity or to treat through prayer and contact.

In any case, it will be necessary to report results or lack of them about every ten days. Stamped and self-addressed envelopes should be sent with letters to make things easier for these busy business men to carry on in this labor of love which is the first small step toward the laboratory we hope to have in due time.

YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS will be published in a special Bulletin to enable you to get into touch with other HRAs if you wish. I will assume no responsibility in the matter, however. If you are a bold spirit and if you feel you can hold your own against any person who may contact you through this list, and if you feel it would be good to know other HRAs, and perhaps write back and forth or visit, ask to be put on the list. This step is taken because of the feeling on the part of several HRAs that those not wishing to be hovered by me should be allowed to know other HRAs and so build a spirit of friendly cooperation. Please remember that I know few of you except by letter. If someone turns out to be not of your liking, blame yourself. If someone turns out to be a delightful friend, I will happily accept all the credit and thanks. Copies of the list will be sent only to those who are themselves on the list unless those on it decide that all HRAs should know who is willing to chance getting acquainted with any or all HRAs. Names should be sent in at once. Suggestions are welcome so long as they are not such that I would have to have more time available to handle them. (Send phone number.)

FODOR ENCYCLOPEDIAS ARE BEING LOCATED from time to time. Prices run from $10.50 post paid to $15.50, depending on the condition of the books. Let me know if you want one, or if you have one to sell.

BACH REMEDIES, with diagnosis and bottle of drops to fit one’s need, may be had in Los Angeles from Dr. Geo. E. Crowle, 3984 Grand Ave., so I am told by HRA A.F. in a recent letter. Here at the Study I have received half of the 36 remedies without customs trouble and hope to get the other half for experimental testing. Also the book by new HRA Nora Weeks, heading the “Bach Team” in England, giving Dr. Bach’s life story, and some News Letters. (To be reviewed later.)

For Huna Research Associates
Covering the experimental approach to the use of Huna in HUNA
and related religious and psychological fields.
From Max Freedom Long

OUR H.R.A. BIRTHDAY HAS COME AGAIN

Cigbo, whose birthday it is in particular, has four candles on his cake. As he tells you in his letter, he is sending you each an index for the HRA Bulletins to the end of 1951. As you look over the index, I believe you will share my feeling that we have come a very long way in four short years. Not only have we made good progress in better understanding of the ancient Huna system, but we have gathered much related information from many sources. At the same time we have watched the rise of such things as Dianetics and have been able to take their measure quite accurately by comparing what they had to offer with the information which we have recovered from Huna. If, as in the case of Dianetics, there was left out a clear understanding of the Aumakua, of the manas, and of the functions of the three selves and their shadowy bodies, we could confidently expect that the system would still have to be worked over and the missing elements accounted for to some degree.

HUNA AND DIANETICS

These are in the same box in one respect, as of this writing. In both systems, we are trying for a working method of self-help and self-healing. In Huna, for four years, and of necessity, we have been trying to arrive at a working system which would be effective without a kahuna or someone to act in that capacity, especially to administer the kala or cleansing, and to help get the fixations up into the light and drain them off.

In Dianetics, the kahuna was replaced by the “auditor.” The auditor took charge of the work and pushed it forward energetically during the periods when the “pre-clear” was in a relaxed state called “reverie.” In passing, it may be noted that in all the cults and systems which grew up as a result of Quimby’s experiments and discoveries (see page 316 of SSBM), those which have obtained the best results in healing body, mind or circumstances have employed a second person in lieu of Quimby, a kahuna or an auditor. This second person is the “practitioner” of course and, as such, serves two purposes, the secondary purpose being that of keeping a church organization going and financed, also augmented by new members.

THE “SELF ANALYSIS” system described in the book under that title (by L. Ron Hubbard, price $2.50 post paid from Hubbard Dianetics Foundation, 211 West Douglas Ave., Wichita 2, Kansas) is, as the author points out, not a method of getting at engrams (fixations) or draining them off, but is a self-training method which he says will enable an auditor to work faster and better with one. The Aumakua and the mana-aka mechanism is included in no workable degree in this new system. It is based largely on aids to the stimulation of memory. I am not saying that this is not entirely worthwhile by itself, but what we all need is a method which will free us from the grip of our fixations, and we may need a priest, kahuna, auditor or ERA Kitselman’s “observer” to help us. Much more work in this part of the field is needed. What we should have is a Huna laboratory in which to run our own tests.

CREATIVE INTEGRATION

This is the title of what is called by Helen and Richard Curry (of 4581 Starling Way, Los Angeles 65), “An Immediate Method,” and this method applies also to the general problems seen by Hubbard in Dianetics.

The Hubbard methods are based on the assumption that the one great driving force in each life is the desire to survive and to help with the survival of the family or larger unit upon which the individual’s survival depends. Any threat to this survival, if it comes in one of several ways, may form an “engram” or complex. These are locked in with the energy that drives the man, and must be uncovered and rationalized to release the drive energy, correct various bodily and mental ills, and/or enhance the mental powers of the one who has been “cleared” of the subconscious blockings of normal action.

The “Creative Integration” method of the Currys carries the survival urge a step farther. We are told that the human being not only exerts himself to the limit to survive but, once this is seen as fairly certain, he has the urge to act in a creative way – to create something. The creative urge makes for originality. One does not copy the other fellow’s paintings, verses or weapons. One experiences a wave of the great basic creative something that is half power and half higher inspiration. The thing created is unlike copies in that it has a stirring effect on others. There is a contagion of released creative energy. An example is set up and the group imitates and shares the sudden individual growth. The na kahuna had a name for the inspiring entity. It was none other than a guise of the Aumakua, but in this aspect they called it “The god who inspires.” In their lives, the great instances of such divine inspiration were often in orations, dance or prophecy.

Helen Curry has generously sent me a copy of their mimeo article describing their discovery of this theory and a technique to go with it. She writes (as of December 31st, last):

“I have just finished reading SSBM and like it very much. I am sending you a copy of a technique which I stumbled onto about five months ago. This technique, in Huna terms, establishes – it would seem – a condition whereby the Aunihipili and Auhane can contact and cooperate with the Aumakua. This is done without relinquishing free will. Strangely enough, it works even for people having strong guilt complexes. It does not work easily for people whose Auhane cannot contact the Aunihipili, in other words, for those people who have decided that the whole of the Aunihipili and/or body is evil, or for those people who have rejected the Auhane as evil. Perhaps the reason the Creative Integration (method of “processing”) works is that it demands action and stresses a positive purpose toward which the triune self can work.”

THIS METHOD is delightfully simplified. Instead of going into reverie and recalling any pleasant past experience, the direct effort is made to discover some past experience in which the rare moments of creative and inspired drive were experienced and something done, created, or produced. Once this type of incident is recalled, it is used as a springboard. The trick is to prime new periods of integration of the three selves in the way one primes a pump with a little old water to get a great supply of fresh water. I am anxious to see the Currys and A.L. Kitselman compare notes. Perhaps they already have. The inclusion of the Aumakua is inevitable, to my way of thinking, and once the proper approach is made, even in part, the path should be cleared of hindering complexes and the drives of those so aided should become normal, strong and creatively direct. With the normal condition of intercourse reestablished between the three selves of the individual, the psychosomatic ills should vanish as snow in the sun.

SOME NEWER PSYCHOTHERAPEUTIC PROCEDURE

A neatly printed 8-page pamphlet by Francis I. Regardie, D.C., Ph. D, which deals with his late discoveries and theories in the psychoanalytic field of approach. As always, Dr. Regardie writes with surpassing clearness and, as is to be expected from him, he documents his sources of information with most satisfying care. While Dr. Regardie has not included the Aumakua as yet in his theories or methods, I feel that he may in due time. (I must find his address, write to thank him for the pamphlet and suggest that he consider adding the Aumakua, for few are more familiar with the materials of the occult than he.) This method which he has worked out and has found to be effective, uses what we would call a “physical stimulus” – a very large one. The patient to be treated for fixation troubles is made to gag by using a tongue depressor. This causes a strong action of the diaphragm and stirs the Aunihipili to marked action. The nature of the fixations can, at least in part, be judged by the degree of repression or open violence of the regurgitation which is brought about, and the end result is an emotional reaction. Physical action is much to be desired here, and objects are provided which the patient may pound. Words are brought forth, submerged ideas aired, and the process of rationalization set into motion. This, by the way, is entirely apart from Dianetics, and the technique which is described was in use before L. Ron’s first book was published.

THE MECHANISMS OF LIFE

Sent to me this week by the author, Dwight H. Bulkley, of 350 S. Mills Ave., Claremont, Calif. ($2 from the author, 112 pages of offset printed reproductions of drawings and typed MMS reduced to half size.) This work has sold widely in type-sheet form and it is a pleasure to see it in the present edition. It tells, in condensed and tabulated form, all the various things covered in what we may call “Orthodox Hubbard Dianetics.” It gives most elaborate and exciting information from the fields of physiology, biology and chemistry – showing the reasonableness of the idea that a simple cell can remember what Mother said to Father in the prenatal or even preconception periods. As yet I have not had time to get out my magnifying glass and try to read it, but it looks most impressive. I have a hope that in it I may discover something to stand as the Aumakua, at least in a degree, in the processing methods which are described.

On the paper cover of this book one may read in the subtitle: “A preliminary release of discoveries inaugurating a revolution in the life sciences – with the physicochemical secret of life itself, mechanisms of integration, mind, memory, responses, psychosomatism, telepathy, and techniques for perfect HEALTH and SANITY.”

Whether the conclusions given are right or wrong, I may not be able to determine, but from a hasty glance through the pages and at the material offered, I anticipate delightful and informative reading when I can find a little time.

EARLIEST TO USE HUNA WITH DIANETICS WAS, so far as I know, Dr. Nan McCurdy, HRA and able psychologist, closely associated in her pioneering with her husband, Gordon McCurdy, M.D. and HRA, both of Florida. Already deep in the use of Huna when Dianetics appeared, the work of combining the two was at once tried out with excellent results. Dr. Nan introduced Huna at the recent Dianetics conference at Wichita, Kansas, and turned the thought of a number of leading auditors in that direction. There seems now to be a “gathering of the clans” in progress in which the findings of the most progressive workers will eventually be pooled to give us a more perfect method of handling fixations and other blockages.

THE BACH REMEDIES

Mentioned in Bulletin 70, [these] have caused much interest, and several letters have asked me what flowers were included in the list, and how one “potentized” a remedy made from a flower. My local pharmacist never heard of the remedies, and I have no information as to which flowers are included or where the 38 remedies may be purchased, or the charts to go with them.

POTENTIZING, thanks to Dr. Brunler, has been explained. The theory is that when a drug or chemical or flower extract – anything – is dissolved in water, its molecular parts are in some way changed, and the more the solution is watered, the greater the change that is brought about as the molecules in solution are more widely separated. Homeopathic remedies have long been made up under this theory, with poisons cut with water to the extent that one-to-a-million parts of potentization are not uncommon. Much chemical reseach has been done on the effects of “traces” of chemical elements or mixtures of them found in the natural state in plants or animals. In animal, as well as plant life, a “trace” of some substance may make the difference between life and death.

An experiment was carried out by Dr. Brunler in which he potentized a drop of blood taken from an aged and impotent bull in India, then injected back into the veins of the bull a dose of the solution. The bull was renewed in an amazing way and was put back to herd use for some further time. The same experiment was tried on an aged and dying man in England, his health and strength being brought back for more years of life. Dr. Brunler also tells of his experiments in potentizing certain chemicals for use as fertilizers, and of the amazing results obtained by the use of these in little more than “trace amounts.” He tried to interest manufacturers of chemical fertilizers in his findings, but failed. They wanted ways to sell more fertilizer, not less.

The farmers, on the other hand, who find that the land is poisoned by the parts of fertilizers which remain after the growth-stimulating elements have been used up, would undoubtedly be greatly interested in a system which would give better results and avoid the poisoning. In “organic” gardening, the trend is back to nature in so far as possible, but I do not know whether potentizing of fertilizing elements has been tried, although I have come to look upon the angle worms who throw up their little piles of earth on my lawn, with potentized interest. In fact, I have worried about them during the recent rains which have kept my garden beds and parts of my lawn covered with water. I noticed that some worms migrated across the walks – to what new place, I have no idea – so hope that they all were able to find the more sloping places where the soil would be less saturated and the chances better for the little fellows (who are so much like the subconscious, keeping below the surface, but pushing up dirt.)

REV. JESSIE CURL AND “HOO`LA”

These two have created much interest in HRA circles. Recently she and Mr. Curl have been in San Francisco and HRAS from miles away often braved the rains to attend the healing services. I have had a number of letters telling of the healing results. There are those who report no benefit, those who report some benefit, and those who have either had a complete healing or very marked betterment of conditions.

HRA L.W. reports, “we saw an instantaneous healing of a woman whose arm was crippled so that she could only move it forward a bit, but not back or up. She raised her arm up straight and also swung it backwards, and her facial expression was one of surprise, then joy. Another woman, with a foot condition so painful that she would not let anyone touch it, walked and stamped her foot hard on the floor.

“There were two sinus sufferers who obtained relief, one a woman whose face was swollen under her eyes from her sinus affliction. One stone deaf woman heard Rev. Curl faintly two times. All the healing was done very simply and there were many smiles exchanged, showing the influence of love.

“Rev. Curl had spent the whole day in healing and had not had time to eat. I am sure that those who saw her work would be glad to share their surcharge of vital force with Hoo`la. Would you suggest it in your next Bulletin? Rev. Curl looked so tired on Sunday Morning.”

(My comment: I have on my improvised prayer table at the Study, the picture of Hoo`la”and at each TMHG period I invite him to use some of the mana which is sent in and to do all that he can to help us with the healing. I have no way of knowing to what extent he has helped, but it may be considerable. A friend and her husband in Florida, reported that as soon as they placed 6 similar pictures in their home, and began to hope for help from Hoo-la their luck changed for the better and many good things came to them while health remained normal. The picture, as I explained in an earlier Bulletin, is a photo copy of a larger crayon portrait done by psychic sight of the spirit, by Frank Leah in London in 1950. My copy was presented to me. I do not know whether other copies are available, or at what price, but will ask next time I have the opportunity.

At this writing, Rev. Curl is in San Jose, Calif., but I expect her back in Los Angeles in time. Rev. Curl told me, at the time of our visit, that some people were so constituted that if they stood near her while she worked, the power was greatly augmented and the healing much better. “She worked on my sore left shoulder (one treatment) and the pain was less noticeable the next day and continues that way. W. had three treatments on his paralyzed cheek and during the first two treatments there was no reaction at all. On the third treatment he said there was a normal feeling in the cheek for a period of about 10 seconds. That was Sunday. Today, Wednesday, there is some kind of action taking place as there seems to be pain in the scar, which is directly over the injured nerve. I will report later on further developments.”

HRA Don K. reports, “During the first 20 minute private treatment by Rev. Curl, January 16th, there was a feeling of warmth in my left ankle in which the arthritic condition was centralized. The usual pain was greater the rest of the day, increasing at night and interfering with my sleep. On the 17th the pain was still sharp. About 10 A. M., approximately 24 hours after the treatment, while writing a letter, there came a sudden feeling of tingling through my fingers like an electric shock so sharp it caused me to jump up. I felt a sense of lightness and walked across the room. The pain was less than half of what it had been a few minutes previous. I could bend the left ankle farther each way without wincing from pain. By evening the pain was nearly 75% gone. Through the 18th the condition was much the same, but by evening there was a slight decrease of the remaining pain.

On the 19th I had another treatment, and by this time my friends who had heard of the treatments agreed that they had noticed a change in my walking and that I looked healthier and happier. On Sunday, January 20th I had very little pain. I attended Rev. Curl’s services at 8 P.M. and got a short treatment. Walked home in the wet without feeling a pain. Monday the 2lst, no noticeable pain upon arising and setting foot on floor. First time in several years. Up to 10 A.M. – at which time I write this -there is so little pain that it hardly is to be counted even if I bend the ankle sharply in all directions. Quote this as a testimonial if you wish, for other HRAs. I am so thankful to have been directed to Rev. Curl.”

HRA J.D., who was treated several times while Rev. Curl was in Los Angeles about a month back, reported by phone as of January 25th, that the arthritic condition beginning in the spine and causing much worry has completely gone. The painful condition in the hands has almost completely gone and she has high hopes of a complete and lasting cure in every respect.

HRA E.D. also treated about a month ago, was entirely relieved of a gall bladder condition and enabled to stop medication.

(Note: The two HRAs last on the list have also had TMHG and other help from HRAs engaged in healing, but both incline to give the lion’s share of credit to Jessie Curl and Hoo`la).

THE TELEPATHIC MUTUAL HEALING GROUP

This group work continues steadily at 3 and 7 P.M. California time. Many report no results. Many others report partial or complete healing of body or circumstances. Here is a letter from HRA H.D. of New York state, who began work with TMHG in August of 1950. It is one of the kind that makes my work of acting as the head and center of the TMHG so very worthwhile.

I quote. “I am tingling all along the Aka Circuit. You must receive it at your end of the line this time. And Cigbo, that dear little guy, words fail to describe him. He was adorable (in his Christmas message), although I don’t suppose he’d appreciate being called adorable, but he is. This last year has been remarkable in its changes, so subtle, so unseen, yet so real. The gloom has passed, there is harmony and understanding; my eyes are so improved. My son has finished his thesis and I am able, with the help of the Great Healing Spirit, to do the typing for him.

“He has been offered a fellowship in the graduate University of Wisconsin. My daughter is succeeding well in school and is the happiest, gayest mortal now. My husband is changed. There is no greater thing than the power of Love. A million thanks for your attention and your efforts.”

THE HRA BULLETINS HAVE BEEN HELPFUL

HRA George Wallace, writes, “It has occurred to me, Max, that you might like to know the effect – for good – you have been on one person at least, this past year. I am that person. I might say it this way. I have trained in the orthodox manner and have prided myself, smugly, on this. Your acceptance of the “ZNO” has completely changed my opinions on many things.

“It has given me an objective to live for and a calm assurance that I am not entirely alone in my stand against evil forces and the ignorance of others. Better still, I am prompted to investigate, with resultant acceptance, the other great religions and philosophical systems. This is poorly stated, but it all adds up to a grateful attitude packed with excitement as I face the future.”

(Comment: Such warm praise as this is most encouraging to me and allows me to feel that what I am able to do to share the little I know of Huna and related subjects, is well worth the candle which I burn at both ends here at the Study. Hardly a mail comes in but I have a letter or two that warms the cockles of my heart, for student after student, often in very far places, write in the first flush of their discovery of Huna through SSBM to tell me how wonderful it is to find at last a system that helps to make head and tail out of the vast mixture of truths and dogmas in other systems – in other religions and psychologies. More than that, I often am given in turn the most priceless findings in their particular lines of psycho-religious testing and experimentation.)

A RARE GIFT HAS ARRIVED FROM HRA MRS. KINGSLEY TARPEY OF LONDON

In an earlier Bulletin I mentioned the fact that Mrs. Tarpey had for years healed by contact and had used the Bovis Biometer in diagnosis and in the measurement of radiations from objects as well as people. She also painted pictures in oils, blessing the healing power into the materials used. These pictures proved to have very definite and continuing powers of healing for those who sat and looked at them.

Mrs. Tarpey, unable to paint enough pictures to go around to those who, like myself, begged for one, set about experimenting to find what other thing would hold the healing radiations and be easier to provide. A certain kind of woolen blanket cloth was found admirable for the purpose, and she generously offered to make ready a piece of it and send it for our HRA testing and use. It came in the mail a week ago with this note:

“I am enclosing a square of the woolen blanket I am using in radiesthetic treatments. I irradiate the fabric by contact, and measure by means of the Bovis Biometer until the material seems to have ’soaked up’ as much of my quality as it can take. This piece goes up to 500 degrees Bovis. My own measurement this morning on what Bovis called the ‘psychie’, and Dr. Brunler calls the ‘Brain Radiation’ is just over 600 degrees. I test sensitivity by letting a patient hold an irradiated piece in the left hand while putting the right hand thumb point on the stud of the Biometer. I am sure you will have many ways of finding out what this way of sending the influence can do. I will try to think up other experiments to send you. I am deeply interested in all you tell in your Bulletins about your work.”

I am personally much indebted to Mrs. Tarpey, and am sure that the entire HRA membership will join me in my delighted thanks. I ran preliminary tests with the Bovis Biometer and found that when someone held the 8×10 square of gray material, their Biometer reading rose sharply. I am now waiting until the next visit with HRA Cameron to get him to run a check on my several tests with the Aurameter. The “ikonized” square of cloth seems to send out rays according to how it is folded. In a roll, it sends out a ray that pushes the tip of the Aurameter away strongly even at a distance of three feet. At the sides there seems to be a pulling force, and over the square when laid flat, there is a large and extensive aura structure. I am using it, together with the ivory ikon from HRA George Sandwith, and a specially treated sponge given by Rev. Jessie Curl (Hoo`la’s invention), in the TMHG to try to send out these additional radiations of healing to all those who have written a letter to go into the TMHG collection and have thus established an aka thread of contact for this use. The cloth itself seems to have a prickly feeling or tingle hardly to be expected even from a fabric of roughish, felted wool.

HRAs John and Nada Anderson, at whose place we held HRA group meetings for over a year, dropped in to join me at the afternoon TMHG period just after the cloth arrived. Mrs. Anderson is a gifted psychic and was able to sense a fine golden light around the ivory figurine, also a spirit of very high grade connected with it. The cloth and sponge gave no such impressions, but when the prayer action was under way and my hands and the objects were in contact with the letters in the box, she saw a very white light gather over them, and then many hands appearing above my own as if taking part in the healing work that was being attempted. She feels that we have a very fine and very strong force center here.

ABOUT ASTROLOGY

I have been corrected by several HRAs who are astrologers of long experience and who speak with authority. They all assure me that if the horoscope is correctly set up, and then correctly read, it is highly reliable. Manley P. Hall said once in a lecture on the subject, that he considered the score of hits about 50-50 with the good readings of horoscopes. I fear my own failures in reading my horoscope come from very poor reading. It is probable that I read expecting to find definite events in my progressions instead of general trends. How much there is that we need to know more completely and in finest detail.

MAY I TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY to express my deepest and most sincere appreciation of those of you who have been with HRA and me for the greater part of the four years since we began our work together. I wish there were some special form of recognition I could offer to show what your unwavering understanding and support has meant to me month by month and year by year. There are only a few of you, and there have been perhaps a thousand who have come and quickly moved on to other things.

On the list of those who have been aboard the good ship HRA for three years, there are many more, and these of you are almost as greatly appreciated. Of course, the length of time is not the real measure of the quality of the membership, and some of the most recent arrivals promise to be unfaltering pioneers to stand long beside us. So, shall I say that all of you who have gold stars due in your records as HRAs are, at this birthday time, extended my warmest greetings and renewed thanks. I have a strange inner feeling that we have just been passing some unseen landmark in our work together, and that something new and highly illuminating is on the way to us. Perhaps we will soon find ourselves beginning a new and broader phase of the research and testing. Last week I asked for a dream to symbolize what was ahead. I got one of clearest water – spreading far and wide.

AGAIN – MY MOST HEARTY THANKS

AGAIN – my most hearty thanks to all of you who have delighted me by writing in your dreams, experimental results, comments, conclusions and suggestions – but who have not asked for or received an answer from me here at the Study. I was, in this way, able to get enough time off to run down to San Diego for a short visit with HRA Meade Layne, who is working on a new issue of ROUND ROBIN and who had many interesting things to talk over. I feel that if I could live closer to him I might be of some help in mimeographing and addressing. So, I took a hurried look around the back country outside of San Diego and some miles north, hoping to find some large old place for which one might trade a large old place in Hollywood. I also had in mind the many letters from HRAs suggesting that we should have a country place as a center – one where HRAs could come and stay awhile for mutual study, consultation, and benefit. Nothing turned up that was our size. Country prices are much higher than city prices owing to the city people moving out as a precaution against the possibility of atom bombs and resultant panic conditions. Even worse, was the fact that Cigbo (who had hoped to find a nice barn for his cigar box and a plentiful supply of small, plump and tame mice) found all available barns falling down and their mouse and rat denizens large, lean and frighteningly fierce. (Cigbo, by the way, wishes to send his very finest expression of thanks to those generous HRAs who remembered him and his box since last Bulletin time. He has a new “pitcher – drew from life – or maybe after-life” – by his Auntie Nora, and is sending a copy to all his friends who remember him. He says, “You’ll be no end amazed when you see me – and my halo!”) (Also, he hasn’t had time as yet, or it may be hard, to clear out the dead wood on his HRA list, as threatened and promised for some weeks.)

REPORTS ON FUTURE DREAMS

Reports on Future Dreams continue to come in, slowly, but as [they come in] they are given to HRAs who are watching for them. Several HRAs have sent in for inspection various articles and books on dreams and on the prophetic angle of them. (Thanks to you all. I’ll be returning the material in due time.) In looking over the statements made in this assorted material, I find much interesting speculation, much that is unproven or contradictory, and little that has not been touched upon in my discussion of the subject in SSBM. I still think we are on the right general track and that the methods we are using are as good as any. The trick of asking “George” to explain the meaning of dreams as soon as we awake is the most valuable addition to the methods to come to my attention for some years. I continue to be surprised by the way the answer seems to pop into one’s mind almost instantly after George has been asked for his simple explanation of what appeared to be a vast tangle of meaningless things and events. I urge you all to keep on trying for dreams of the future and to report them. We are still far from having enough dreams to shake up together to get a good average of possible future events. Here are some recent reports that are interesting and significant.

DREAMS

DREAM from HRA L.C. Cornell, Poland, Ind. “In my dream I got into a new car which had only two little levers to guide and to reverse it, or to stop it.- The car ran without noise or vibration – seemed to glide. I could find no side roads, and after some time was forced to turn around and go back as I had come.

“I told ‘George’ that I would ask him to explain in the morning, but he gave it to me right away. The meaning was that we would be restricted as to where we could go. In the morning I took my plummet and got it that the car was not powered by gas but by something like cosmic ray.” (“Plummet” is his name for “pendulum.” MFL)

DREAM from HRA R.B. of Colorado. “The following is another dream I have had about the Russian attack on our country.

“I dreamed that I was walking around a new smelter. I was holding a small boy by the hand. We walked up some steps which were about a hundred yards long – about a hundred of them. These steps led to nothing at all. On the end of each of them was a toilet bowl. Suddenly the little boy had an attack of diarrhea. He was taken by a woman and spanked for soiling himself, but it happened again. The dream scene changed and I was standing before a new furnace with several other men. The top of the furnace blew up and we ran away. Again, I was standing by a similar, but larger furnace. It also blew up.

“I asked ‘George’ for the meaning, and got it. The steps represented wave lengths or vibrations. The toilet bowls represented sickness caused by the vibrations. The furnaces represented some new type of explosive or something that explodes. My interpretation is that just before the Russians attack our cities with atom bombs, they will use some kind of vibrations to cause sickness. Adults will be affected, but the worst effect will be on small children under three years of age. Adults will not understand the cause of the violent attacks suffered by the children as a result. Here is a second dream that was given directly and without symbols:

2ND DREAM “I saw long lines of marching soldiers accompanied by very strict control of civilians by the government. I saw uniformed sailors breaking into and despoiling the homes of the rich. I saw much interference with education by rioting students… I saw groups of boys of about fifteen years of age, roaming the streets at night, cutting, shooting, and torturing people for thrills. Police, riding in trucks from the army, were shooting the boys down, not trying to arrest them. Still another dream told me I must stock up on food or later I would go hungry.”

A COMMUNICATION FROM A SPIRIT FRIEND

A communication from a spirit friend, who is consulted about once a year through automatic writing via a living friend, was of much interest to me last week as it bears on the problem of seeing what lies ahead for us and getting ready for it as best we may. The spirit claims to have been a flier killed in WWI. Over a period of many years he has remained sane and his few predictions have been based on logic more than prophetic ability of a psychic nature. On the whole, he has been correct. I will quote parts of the written message, together with the questions asked. “Rusty” is the spirit, who long ago identified himself as “Philip Rust.”

Q. Rusty, can you tell us if we are going to have more war?

Ans. Well, it’s hard to predict right now what will happen about war. All forces on earth are working toward that end – I mean the thought forces of the masses, made strong by fears. It is all so terrible to look upon. There is no real and courageous leadership away from that. No individual on the face of the earth WANTS war – not even Stalin. But they don’t seem to know how to reconcile their differences. It is a psychological fear-thought working. Stalin is truly afraid of [the] U.S. We are afraid of Communism because we don’t like it and are afraid it will disrupt our way of life. But, really, nobody is angry enough to fight. It is FEAR. So it is hard to say whether war will break out or not.

“This is a long, confused time of change. Asia is awakening to demand things to make life more worth living. You are living in an age of turmoil, of growth and of CHANGE. You can’t escape it. Now, about Los Angeles. It is vulnerable, yes, if war does get started. I see no disaster to you (the sitters at the séance) personally, as that, because of my interest and love, is what I look for always. No, I can’t predict whether the city will be bombed or not. There is no such disaster in the immediate present or future.

“Yes, geologic changes MAY cause earthquakes, as they always do in a thermal area such as California, but there is NO such disaster to be seen anywhere. If a professor of geology or volcanology predicted such a disaster from this side – or from yours – you might listen. But don’t, for the love of Pete, believe everything you hear reported as said by spirits in séances.

“As to leaving the city, do so if you like some other place better, where it is healthier, calmer – but don’t leave because you fear disaster. Not one of you here tonight is going to have to endure anything of that sort. But, if your fears persist, in spite of that, go by all means – but don’t carry your fear with you! There is nothing to fear but fear itself, remember. Of course, I do think it might be well for health and work to be in a quieter place than a big city.

Q. (Asked by MFL) What do you get by now as to the Huna work?

Ans. “What I know is that you are on the right track of presenting certain basic truths in a very understandable way – understandable to this mechanical age. It is a good work, a necessary work, and it can’t stop, even if it sometimes looks as if it must. There’s always a new way opening up – I mean, attacking the same thing from a new and different angle. Clear thought, Max, will come soon into your consciousness – the next step I only know that, as far as I can see your destiny, it is bound up with writing and instructing through your writings, those less able to see. You could not stop this work, even if you wanted to! Don’t ever think for a moment of giving up the search. It is BOUND to come.”

NOTE I suppose that I do get impatient at times. Our needs are so great right NOW. Instant healing perfected next year will not help the HRAs in desperate need of it at this moment. However, it is evident that we must do our parts – even if we seem to plod – and know that Guidance is being given and will bring us to the goal in the appointed time and way. I was especially encouraged in the past week by more than the usual amount of reports of help and healing of body or circumstances through the use of Huna and our TMHG.

So many of you understand so well what I am trying to do, and often I get treasured little notes like this one from a HRA who has great need of Huna aid – and great patience. “I admire your persistence in chasing down the different leads and problems that inject themselves, and this effort surely will be bound to bring results. I feel that some development in healing will come from Huna and associated techniques before very long.”

Such reports as the following from HRA J.T. call for spontaneous outpouring of thanks to na Aumakua here at the Study. Some time ago the small daughter was treated in the TMHG when down with polio. Later, J.T. asked for TMHG work for herself. Here are bits from her letter. (It also contains some dream material which I will include.)

“Miss Poo – as we call our little daughter – is completely well. Even the glasses and the last ¼” lift to her shoe was discarded. She looks the picture of health. The leg that was a half inch shorter is back to full length and is only a half inch smaller around than the other now. About my bones and the condition thereof – during the first two weeks of treatment I nearly wrote you to take my name off the list of TMHG – the pain was so severe that there wasn’t any position in which I could sit, stand or lie in which I could ease my back – plus the white-hot tingling of a spot under one shoulder blade about the size of a hand, plus contortions of the diaphragm – it felt like it was reacting to the impact of a blow. Then, presto, one day I felt all new and untouched. The surprising thing about it is that it has not returned. I’ve thought of it not at all if I could help it. I started to write to you that my name could be taken from the list, but decided to wait.

DREAMS “I’ve had 3 of my ‘dream true’ dreams. The time is so hard for me to establish. I’ve thought of it so much that my ‘Georgette’ goes to no end of tricks to try to help me establish time. I try to look at the clothes, cars, even my hands – as hands show age. It is as if I were an amnesia victim just coming back and with missing time intervals preventing proper deductions concerning present things. As nearly as I can see, it looks as if we, as civilians, will have to worry more about roving bands of scum, looting and murdering, than about bombs or bullets of an enemy army – or should I say uninformed army.

“I heard the noise of a crowd in one dream and the people about me were talking of watching a parade. I seemed to know it was the end of a war and that the parading army was ours. I had a sense of happiness and warmth and wellbeing come over me that I would not have had if we had not been victorious.

“In another I saw myself on what was called a ‘Collective Farm.’ I thought to myself, ‘Well, this must not be America because we do not have collective farming.’ The answer seemed to come that it was America – the Middle Western part of it – and that we had collective farms then. I asked if we had fought a war and lost and were conquered slave laborers. The answer came. ‘No, collective farms are an economic necessity arising from the wars.’ The barns were not like any I had seen. They were low and streamlined. The surroundings neat and well kept. I’ve no idea what my age was, but I wore a skirt that was longer and fuller than the style now. I was not unhappy, but was busy giving orders to some man about work to do that day.

“My pendulum, I may report, goes round and round and gives hit-and-miss answers to questions. The (pendulum) does NOT hang straight down for me as for others, but off at a decided angle from vertical.”

A CORRECTION

A correction came in from HRA Dr. Harold Jolet, whose predictions were taken from his letter under the impression that they were from a dream. (Bulletin 42, page 4.) He writes that in his haste he had forgotten to say the predictions were made by Paul Gibson, except for the part about possible trouble in India. Dr. Harold is doing guidance work by mail under the free will offering method and has recently sent in newly mimeographed instruction sheets and other material which he is using. His address is Box 275, Farmington, Ill.

HRAs ARE VERY ACTIVE

HRAs are very active in the line of Bulletins, books, fiction writing, and the production of many really top-notch articles of beauty and usefulness. HRA Graye La Spina, of R.D. #1, Windy Knoll, Quakertown, Pa., does the most beautiful weaving. She made me a most wonderful little altar cloth of Greek lace for my tiny shrine in the Study, and wove me a bookmark with mystic symbols- very beautiful and kept in my best books. She tells me she has some lovely aprons and other things.

HRA Margaret Gaddis, Box 296, Winona Lake, Ind., still can supply copies of her grand book on how to save a thousand dollars a year by household short cuts etc. (Reviewed in a Bulletin earlier.) She has been appearing on TV demonstrating the making of things for the home, as per her book, and with grand success. $1.10 for the book.

HRA Dr. Florence Evylinn Campbell can still furnish copies of the splendid book she worked out with another expert astrologer, and by the use of which the amateur can quickly work up a good horoscope in terms of the modern playing cards. $5 post paid. See review on the yellow sheet for details – Bulletin 36. Sacred Symbols of the Ancients. The address is Box 1927, Hollywood Station, Hollywood 28, California.

On the same yellow sheet appeared a review and description of HRA Irys Vorel’s ORACLE which has gone into still another improved printing in the matter of the instruction book. Recently she sent me as a gift the latest, called the NEW ORACLE. It has the new third edition mammoth instructions unit and with the lovely plastic sheet with the printed layout on which to place the special cards, I did some personal fortune telling before making the trip to see my good friend Meade Layne, F.H.F., and to look for a country home. The NEW ORACLE said “No” to the chance of finding the home, and so it turned out to be. Then there are the other books reviewed during the year and to be obtained from the authors. I mention them at this time because Christmas is on the way and we will be needing unusual gifts for special friends. (NEW ORACLE remains $5 post paid. Address is now: Irys Vorel, Studio 905, Wellington Hotel, 7th Ave. at 55th St., New York 19, N.Y.)

Speaking of Christmas gifts or even cards, I have just received a letter from an old and dear friend who is having a pretty stern time of it these days (but here is her name and address: Mila Liscova’- Nova’kova’, 66 Rasinovo na’brezi’ 66, Prague II – 388, Czechoslovakia, Europe). She is a most talented HRA, and translated our writings on Huna into the language of her country. She writes the most interesting letters in English and is a student of parts. Her great longing is for books on modern things in the psycho-religious field, in English, as she is cut off from them by present circumstances. I am sending her a used copy of Mystics and Magicians in Tibet by A. David-Neel. I have been trying to find a copy of William Seabrook’s Magic Island for her, but with no luck as yet. Here is someone you might love to know. It will be introduction enough to say that you are a fellow HRA. She will be reading this Bulletin soon, and I can imagine with what breathless expectation she will then be watching the mail. “Mail early” is especially indicated here.

DIANETICS COMES UP AGAIN

Dianetics comes up again in a most interesting letter from HRA D.P. who writes:

“I had an interesting Dianetics run, or auditing, by our mutual friends, (HRAs) Dr. and Mrs. Reinhold in North Hollywood. I hit birth, conception and a good many interesting things my first run. Once I seemed to float above a funny looking brown frame house. The details of the scroll work on the porch were very vivid. Later, I went back to a pair of huge gates and an alabaster city of luminous white buildings and up the greenest valley with flowers in the grass like bright jewels.

“I saw myself climb to a mountain top, from which I simply seemed to grow smaller and dissolve – or contain myself – into a small transparent cellular thing. I then appeared to travel down on a solid beam of light from these gates to the odd little brown house.

“I have checked and found that the description fitted the place where I was born exactly. From this house, my ‘time track’ then appeared as a white highway with deep or dense black fog at intervals.

“We worked with na Aumakua all through the three audits… I have since studied with Dr. B. and am auditing some myself. Before I take anyone, I meditate and seek help from na Aumakua of my pre-clear and myself. I have some interesting experiences,

“I do not consider myself cleared. In fact, I know I am not, but I now know why! Of many things we asked during my runs (of the Aumakua), was the question whether or not we should run everything – and was told NO! – Not to deal with dead issues. At times there seemed to be a mediator speaking through me, giving instructions

“I ran some terrible somatics, (Note by MFL: In Dianetics, when one goes back to a fixation which has caused illness, pain or other trouble, the fixation or “engram” stimulates the trouble and duplicate pains and symptoms and emotions appear – called “somatics.” By “running” or going back to re-experience the happenings which formed the fixations, they are gradually wiped out and, when that is done, the symptoms leave and – it is hoped – will never return.) But when I leveled off, I had been completely cured.

“I also understand why I have had such a rough time surviving. The first words the doctor said at my birth were ‘She can’t live’ So I’ve been pronounced dead once and told at two other times that I couldn’t live. But something within me has always known the truth. Oh yes, this third person who seemed to take over in my audits, said once I had forgotten much more than earth mortals know. Ah me! How I would enjoy being completely cleared so I could remember it all.”

(I comment:) This is a most fascinating development in the field of Dianetics. It is Dianetics plus Huna angles which are greatly important. The “third person” mentioned above, who was able to hear and answer questions wisely, reminds one strongly of the “old man self-personality” whom we met in the case of Miss First and Miss Second, studied by Dr. Leapsley. It is Case 11 in your SSBM, page 111, and will bear reading again in this connection. If, in the “auditing” of this type of augmented Dianetics, the third of Aumakua can be contacted, and its superior knowledge and thinking power put to use, the possibility of all the Huna forms of healing will be bright indeed. On the other hand, if what is contacted is a spirit of very high advancement and superior insight and wisdom, the aid might be very great. In the matter of the “somatics” being stimulated and healing obtained as a result of the draining off of the fixations discovered by this process, I consider this report of the utmost value to us in our Huna studies. An additional proof is furnished -if any is needed – of the fact of fixations and the way they can cause abnormal conditions or, when the fixation is drained off, remove the conditions. We have failed to develop na kahuna to help us find fixations and free ourselves from them – a vital procedure in Huna healing – but if we can put to use the methods just discussed and get the desired results, we will go ahead swiftly. Perhaps what we will soon be needing is a treatment center with some good HRAs there to audit after the methods being developed by the Reinholds and their HRA friends.)

The Reinholds give promise of carrying out the work of combining Huna, Dianetics and good things from modern psychology, to give us a splendid advance in this suddenly expanding part of the field. They have organized a study group and just now have begun putting out a monthly news bulletin covering their work and findings. A copy of the November bulletin is already on my desk with the permission to pass on any or all of it to HRAs. As it contains so much information on a subject of vital importance to us all, I will take advantage of the generous offer. Here is the greater part of the news bulletin.

THE NORTH HOLLYWOOD PSYCHOLOGICAL STUDY GROUP

November News Bulletin – About Dianetics5620 Lankershim Blvd., North Hollywood, Calif
Telephone SUnset 2-0484 or SUnset 3-8867
Dr. Fred and Corinne Reinhoid in charge.
By this time a sufficient amount of experience and data have been gathered together to more properly evaluate Dianetics. Many of the old time psychologists still adhere to the statements that there is nothing new in Dianetics except the terminology. Many beginners still have the wild eyed enthusiasm of a new cult. Some psychiatrists say it is dangerous and others that it is a great contribution to modern psychotherapy. Never-the-less, Dianetics continues to roll on, and more and more psychotherapists are using some of its terms and concepts. Dianetics will probably continue to roll on if those around its foundation do not discredit it by fantastic claims and over exploitation.

An outstanding claim in the early days of Dianetics was that it was quick to produce “releases” and “clears.” In competent hands, it is undoubtedly quicker in producing favorable personality changes than some of the original forms of psychological analysis, and it is certainly a great advance over stupid “advice” psychology, deadly drug therapy, or surgical mutilation techniques. But, and this may be important, many experienced psychotherapists and psychiatrists who have taken the time to make a careful and thorough study of its techniques, are of the opinion that, in its present form, it is not as fast – nor are the cases as safely handled as when the complete knowledge of psychology, psychotherapy and hypnoanalysis is also employed. In fact, they are inclined to regard Dianetics as a specialized, rather crystallized technique of hypnoanalysis combined with some esoteric teachings.

It is undoubtedly true that many Dianetic auditors are using hypnoanalytical technique, whether or not they know it, and they would have much better results if they knew it and understood the basic laws. In trying to pull the stingers out of hypnosis, the effectiveness of the therapy has been greatly weakened. It would be a great deal like making a carpenter work with dull tools because someone might, through carelessness or incompetence, be injured by the sharp edges.

The biggest contribution of Dianetics seems to be that, because of its wide dissemination, it may help to dissolve the frightful guilt-sin complexes that have so severely inhibited our past social culture. The actual probing, discovering and bringing into the conscious mind attention the early or forgotten moments of pain and unconsciousness, together with word commands, is certainly not a new discovery – even in the prenatal area. The biggest sin has been to minimize, or not know, that Dianetics is really depth therapy, touching the deepest emotional springs in man’s nature – things that should not be handled willy nilly by those who should be patients themselves rather than therapists. Some of its concepts are useful, but others seem hopelessly and confusingly incorrect. Also it is certain that psychological helpers should be of the highest possible moral and spiritual caliber, and should have undergone analytical therapy themselves.

We have a great deal of admiration and sympathy for the author of Dianetics, but at the same time feel that he was over hasty, and over self-confident in getting the book published without more help and criticism from experienced men in the psychological field. The book has enabled many people to realize that there is a possibility of getting completely rid of their psychosomatic disorders and emotional disturbances, and it may encourage them to continue still further toward becoming “clears.”

There is no doubt in the mind of any investigator that every “engram” or reactive traumatic experience that is made to be inactive is an advantage. The more the better, as the body thereby functions more easily, has less pain and discomfort, the emotions are more optimistically stabilized, and the mind becomes clearer and more efficient. Truly, a “clearing” is a worthwhile goal. However, one should avoid becoming lopsided in his attention and overlooking other equally important phases of a complete health program. There must be adequate nutrition, especially in the matter of vitamins, minerals and proteins; sufficient sleep, rest and play; moderate or corrective exercises; the avoidance of toxic-producing or drug habits; the mechanical improvement of body misplacements or deformities; anti-infective measures; eliminative encouragements; and, above all, SOUND INDIVIDUAL AND SOCIAL TRAINING INSTRUCTION.

COMMENT BY MFL

I have copied the last line (above) and placed it in capitals because I so heartily agree that there MUST be such training. If I had my way, everyone who can read would be encouraged to go through Overstreet’s book, “THE MATURE MIND” before thinking of being either a Dianetics auditor, an auditee, or even a lesser type of kahuna.

In the next Bulletin I plan to give a lengthy review of the very important and sane book by Mr. Overstreet. To my way of thinking, it gives the finest, newest, and best picture of what we all need to know about the psychological pitfalls which have prevented (1) the individual, and (2) the world and its nations, from realizing in even a 20% way the accomplishments which have been possible for some years past. Read this book before the next Bulletin reaches you, if you can. Also have a look at the current issue of Pageant magazine if you come across it (November), as I shall dwell at length on the “Secret of Life” article in it. More about the manas.

REPORTS ON DREAMS OF THE FUTURE

Reports on dreams of the future have not begun to come in yet. This is to be expected, as it takes about ten days after the Bulletin is mailed for it to be delivered in many places. The practice of dreaming into the future may need some weeks or even months to get us enough material to check and average so that we can come to a fair conclusion as to what may be ahead for us and the world.

Naturally, I have a head start in the project, and I am happy to be able to report my own findings. I think it may be well to use a numbering system and the initials of the dreamer (or full name and address, if permission is given) in the reports we will have in the Bulletins from now on for probably several months – all according to what results we get and how important they seem to be.

DREAM REPORT No. 1 – MFL

After reading about prevision and going through prophetic material off and on for a few days to get “George” into the swing of things, I began to ask silently before sleep that George contact na Aumakua, get information as to future events, and show me (1) date and headlines of newspapers, or (2) any other form of dream information bearing on future happenings of personal, national or world importance. I took care to tell myself that when I awoke and said, “George, give me the meaning of the dream or the symbols in my dreams,” the Aunihipili would at once do as requested.

DREAM: I met a gray stranger and asked him to tell me, as he seemed to be an authority on such matters, whether we would have trouble in America with a Red revolution, and if so, what the outcome would be.

The stranger nodded, but seemed to change the subject abruptly. He pointed to his left side, well below the belt line, and said, “I’ve had some operations – been tunneled clear through from left to right five times. The first four times failed, but the fifth seems as if it will do the trick.” With that he turned to go, and I awakened. I roused, considered the dream, suspecting it of being just one more meaningless dream, but when I asked George for the meaning of it, if any, there at once flashed into my mind the explanation in so far as it related to a Red revolt. The “tunnels” were the usual “boring within” of Red “cell” tactics, and the “fifth tunnel” that “seems as if it will do the trick,” was a double check given by George – it indicated the famous “Fifth Column” which has been organized in several lands to bore within and strike at a time when there was an opening.

DREAM: On another night I dreamed of seeing under the date line of March 4, l954, in my morning paper, the heading, “LAND ALLOTMENTS TO BEGIN TOMORROW.” I did not know at the time of the dream that the customary English term “allotment” was used in translating the Red word for dividing out the land to individuals for farming and other uses. It was a week later that I saw a news item from Mexico saying that several tracts of land were being divided as “allotments.” Apparently there was no symbolism here. I can only guess at what may be implied by the heading. There is the possibility that, after a civil war and Red-engineered revolt, the country might go Red and its own governments allot the land. The other possibility would be that some Red power would have conquered us and taken control. I asked George if there was a symbol to explain, but got no answering flash.

DREAM: I was in a strange village, which was little more than a cluster of a dozen houses on a back road. The poplar trees were bare and it was either early spring or winter in a mild climate. I had been sleeping in an excellent sleeping bag on a stone floor out in the open before a house. I rose and went into the nearest house for something, returning in a few moments – to find that my fine bag was gone and in its place a very old and shabby one, only half as warm or as well padded to soften the stone floor. I could see no trace of anyone who might have made the exchange. A few strangers gathered around and morning began to break. I asked them if there were thieves about who might have taken my bag and have left the old one. They shook their heads gravely.

Upon awakening and remembering the dream, I asked George for its meaning. After some waiting and uncertainty on my part, I at last decided that what was trying to come to me as the answer was the fact that the future would see my possessions cut to half their present worth or usefulness – that everyone would be forced to do with about half of what they have at this time. There was no time element against which to place the year of the condition. The change was one that came swiftly and which seemed inevitable. The pinch of all-out war would be well indicated by such augury.

For an additional check on the three dreams, I used the pendulum, asking whether I had the meanings correct and the date right for the newspaper heading. The pendulum gave the “yes” swing on each point. For a more or less correct evaluation of the dreams, they will have to be averaged in their significance with your dreams, if and when you send them in. Also, in any evaluation of probable predictive correctness, it must be kept in mind that I (1) rather expect a total war effort with taxes high and supplies scarce and costly, (2) possible internal trouble nationally, with the Reds endeavoring to take over, and (3) that I may eventually move out of the city into some village. (What I would love, of course, would be to be able to have a place away from the city where we could have an HRA center and carry out experiments in healing. And we might some day have just that. Nice to think about at any rate.)

NOW THAT YOU SEE the way reports can be made on your dreams of the future, let me have your reports, when ready. I have been sent two calendars by HRA friends – many thanks to you both – so that now I can mark off dates in 1951 and 1952 in the process of impressing my George to ask na Aumakua for visions of headlines for those dates or for information given in symbols or in direct vision covering the events of the future. In passing, may I remind you that the J.W. Dunne method of awakening and writing down dreams is excellent? I have explained in SSBM how I came to be unable to make use of that method. I have an old wire recorder, however, and plan to get it to running again so that I may awaken at night and whisper an account of any dream into the microphone. The whisper would not be loud enough to awaken the household. We shall see how it works.

AGAIN, MY BEST THANKS

Thanks for all your letters with reports on your Huna experiments, with help for the hard-scratching Cigbo, and with reports on healing progress in the TMHG effort – or requests for healing through this special work which we share. Your kindness in excusing me from answering your letters is very greatly appreciated. I have been freed sufficiently from my desk in the daytime to enable me to do some necessary bread winning for our household. I have been able recently to make prayer actions for work, to have it come right along, and to be able to handle the work. I am continually aware of Guidance and feel strongly that our HRA endeavors will be steered in the right direction.

TMHG

THE TMHG HEALING TIMES are still at 3 and 7 PM California time, but as daylight saving time changed to standard in late September and clocks were set back an hour here, your time will need to be adjusted accordingly. If you have been on daylight saving time, the change will be automatic and you will continue to observe the same times as before. If you have been on standard time all summer, you will have to drop back an hour for TMHG. Many good reports on the healing results continue to come in. I have been able to observe the healing periods despite the bread winning activities so far, most of the outside work being on writing lines and done at home with the time free to use as long as the work did not fall behind.

DIANETICS

A FURTHER REPORT: A recent letter asked, “Why the very loud silence concerning Dianetics? My answer is that I have been waiting to see what would develop along that line.

While it is still rather early to pass even a tentative judgment on the ultimate value of L. Ron Hubbard’s Dianetics system, I have been getting reports from many friends and learning more of the working out of the system in practice.

A few weeks ago Mr. Hubbard appeared at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles and lectured to an overflow crowd. I attended and, before the lecture, was able to talk with a professional psychologist who told in glowing terms of the good results he had been having with the Hubbard methods used to replace the older ones. Results came more quickly – a thing that is very important to a patient who is paying the standard price of $25 an hour for being “audited.”

Mr. Hubbard entertained the audience and at the same time was able to get across considerable information as to his system and to demonstrate briefly the way to go about the auditing. The period given to questions and answers was slightly confused, what with a few hecklers on hand to try to stop the flow of questions from the many students in the audience who had read the book and had been trying to audit their friends and be audited in turn.

The first class given in Los Angeles was expanded to about 125 students, and while I did not attend and have no first-hand information, I understand that things were in a tangle. One friend called on me to complain bitterly of the value she got for her $500 tuition for a week, to say nothing of the expense of coming down from Oregon and staying here for the course. Only a few of the class were certificated as “professional auditors,” and it is evident that many improvements will have to be made in the way things are handled.

These difficulties in administration, however, have little to do with the thing that interests us – with whether or not the system works or can be improved to be made to work so that fixations can be fished up from the “black sack” of the Aunihipili and dissipated by the strong light of Auhane reason and logic.

As I have said before in an earlier Bulletin, the thing that marked the healing done by na kahuna was the finding and removal of such fixations as might be “blocking the path” of the patient so that communication with the Aumakua was cut off and illness or trouble the result.

In case there was a guilt sense which had not been driven so deeply into the subconscious self as to become a “fixation,” na kahuna caused the patient to make amends for hurts done to others. This automatically removed the guilt sense and “unblocked the path.”

If, however, the guilt had become a fixation, it was attacked, as were other fixations, through the use of a large or “shock charge” of mana delivered with telling effect by the kahuna. The thought form cluster of which the fixation is composed, has been made by the Aunihipili with the low mana, and contains none of the rationalized units from the Auhane. It is something to which the Aunihipili reacts unreasonably and despite the objection of the Auhane. (This is discussed at length in SSBM.) The fixation may have been changed in its outer aspect, or “translated.” It is like a wild animal which is hidden in a dark cave inside us, there to gnaw at our vitals. It has no rope of “rationalization” tied around its neck as the normal or tame fixation may be said to have and so cannot be pulled out of the dark cave and tamed. It is very hard to identify because it often “translates” itself by changing color or shedding its skin. The long process of tracing down these wild things has been our practice of psychoanalysis. It is the thousand-hour process and is slow and difficult.

Dianetics offered a method in which an auditor sat by and talked directly to the Aunihipili of the relaxed patient. “George” was coaxed and cudgeled to get him to go back in his memories to recall painful memories which might have been turned into fixations. The bait of recalling many of the happiest incidents in life was used and, once the Aunihipili of the patient became accustomed to taking orders, it was gradually caused to go back to recall and bring to light the wild beasts of fixation. By repeated living over of the painful incidents in retrospect, they lost their power and were rationalized – a rope tied to their necks – and they were returned to the dark cave of memory tethered and tamed – to be drawn out and tamed again if by chance they returned to wild ways and the injuries to the “insides” reappeared as illness, compulsions or bad luck, accidents, fears or what not.

All the standard methods of psychoanalysis have made much use of the religious faith of the patient. Prayer was advised. The confessional was a useful mechanism. In Dianetics, this element was left out, partly, it is to be supposed, to avoid bringing into the picture the always-controversial subject of faiths and dogmas. Mr. Hubbard, so it is said, has been greatly interested, however, in the part which religion can play in the process of removing fixations. It is even suggested that in due time he will take up this matter with those who look to him for further guidance as he continues to broaden his system and better the methods used in “auditing.”

Dianetics, as practiced at present, appeals only to the Aunihipili and Auhane. It daily becomes more evident that the Aumakua must be brought into the system to obtain complete and best results.

In the instant healing accomplished by na kahuna, the Aumakua was the major factor. It was known to have the ability and power to make changes in the physical body under certain conditions.

Now, thanks to the eager labors of a few of the HRAs who have been experimentally adding the Huna system to the Dianetics methods, we are discovering that the Aumakua can be appealed to frequently during a course of auditing, and its aid gained in sweeping away thought-form clusters which are blocking the path and are preventing the return through recall to the fixations which are causing trouble. We may logically conclude that the Aumakua can, if conditions have been made right by amends made for hurts done others, actually remove the hindering fixations caused by the pain and emotional storms which engendered them. I am not at liberty to give the full details of the experimental work being carried out at this time by some of our able and experienced HRAs, but as soon as the work is well along, I am sure that we will have the findings made available to us in a new version of mixed psychoanalysis, Dianetics and Huna. If the good things from all three of these can be blended and utilized, I believe that we will have what we have long needed in our attempts to learn to duplicate the healing practices of na kahuna.

Through the generosity of an HRA friend who has taken the basic course in Dianetic auditing and who uses that system without the admixture of Huna elements, I have had the opportunity to study the auditing methods at first hand – having taken three hours of auditing and thus being made keenly aware of the technique. Mr. Hubbard’s hope that a good clearance of fixations could be made in less than fifty hours of auditing has hardly been realized as yet. The system seems to grow more and more complicated and the work more complex as it advances. Also, the hope that one beginner might easily learn to work with another on the lines laid out in the book, Dianetics, seems to have faded rapidly. Most of the amateurs of whom I have heard have become bogged down before getting very far along. My own tentative opinion, from where we now stand, is that the major fault is the lack of the Huna element of the Aumakua in the practice.

As the standard fee of $25 per hour for auditing by a certified Dianetics auditor is quite a different thing from the book promise that we could all audit and be audited in turn, and free of charge, the poor man is left out in the cold to suffer with his “engrams.” The promise of free treatment is made through the Dianetics Foundation, but this is not what was promised in the book. It would seem, looking on from the outside, that either the promises must be kept by adding Huna or its equivalent to Dianetic methods, or that such additions will be made on the outside. Already there are strong signs of splits in the organization, with some of the original “professional auditors” going off on their own lines.

For those of you who are depending on me to look into Dianetics and to keep you posted, I would say at this point that things look very promising. If you have the time and are so inclined, borrow the book, DIANETICS, when it is available at your regular or rental library. Go through it rapidly and get a general view of the context but wait a while longer before you try auditing without having the more complete training. I think that before long we will have the matter threshed out and the methodology, as well as the rather amusing muddle of coined terms, straightened out, at least for our own use as HRA’s. WE MUST ALWAYS REMEMBER that there are two sides to every question and that this applies to this side of life and the other side when it comes to healing. Dianetics very certainly lacks the third part of a complete philosophy – the Aumakua – and, by the same token, it lacks the element of the “other side” – lacks it very completely.

Na kahuna never forgot or overlooked the part that the “there living” spirit friends or enemies – or illogical poltergeist na Aunihipili – play in the lives of the “here living.” From the spirit level of life there can, and there often does come telling influences which are felt for good or bad in our lives.

The ideal healing team for the future would be composed of a good medical man, a good chiropractor (for adjustments, diet advice and other valuable aids), (the Osteopaths have gone over to the M.D.s in large part and no longer will adjust for patients), a good psychologist who knows his Huna down to the ground, (plus all that is good in Dianetics), and a good medium who is skilled in diagnosing and in working with the good spirit friends in healing. We might also include in the team one skilled in diagnosis with the pendulum.

NEW BOOKS

I have before me a new book by the famous psychic healer, Harry Edwards, A GUIDE TO SPIRIT HEALING, in which he gives such information as one may need for an approach to that phase of healing work. (8 shillings, 6 pence, plus 14 cents postage. Your post office will figure the exchange rate for you and furnish an international money order at request. Address: Spiritualist Press, Ltd., 48 Old Bailey, London E.C. 4, England.)

In his foreword, Mr. Edwards tells the purpose of the book:

“In setting out in printed form advice as to how one may develop any psychic gift is a difficult task, but it is hoped that this book will be of some service to those who desire to heal the sick. Many of the methods suggested are contrary to common ideas held by some healers. No apology is offered for this. During past years there has been adopted much traditional technique that serves no purpose and which it is wise to avoid.”

Later in his book he writes, “No one can LEARN to heal. What we can do, and this is of primary importance, is to train ourselves to attune to spirit and so become more useful instruments of spirit healing operators. The healing power comes through us and is not of us.” This is one of the best available books on the subject, in so far as my reading has gone.

A list of the chapter headings in this 162 page book will show its scope and the various angles touched upon.

1. The healing potential
2. The healing gift
3. The spirit mind of man
4. The spirit bodies of man
5. The first phase of development
6. Absent healing
7. Second phase of development
8. The healing guides
9. General rules for guidance
10. The third phase of development
11. The fourth phase of development
12. The value of healing passes
13. Magnetic healing
14. Disease and the mind
15. Psychological aspect of healing
16. Vibrations
17. Why do some healings ‘fail’
18. Medical co-operation
19. Introductory notes to treatments – The spine
20. Mental conditions
21. Cancers and growths
22. Arthritis and rheumatism
23. Paralysis
24. Tuberculosis and chest conditions
25. Nerve diseases
26. Functional diseases
27. The senses
28. Children’s diseases
29. Color healing, radiesthesia, electronics
30. Final conclusions

On page 161, ending his discussion of electronics, Mr. Edwards has this to say:

“To suggest that the healer’s body can, of itself, generate the corrective healing forces is a new idea, and contrary to everything that we have so far learned. Further, to suppose that the healer is in some way able to generate the various kinds of healing forces to deal with various diseases renders the idea more difficult to accept.

“It is true that the human body produces electrical impulses, but it is straining reason very far to suggest that these impulses, supplemented by an additional force of electrical current from a battery or other means, can be the explanation of the delicately adjusted, intelligently directed spirit healing forces.

“The records of spirit healings are impressive; they come from all sources, from many medium-healers from all parts of this country and the world. They have taken place simply, naturally, and without apparatus of any kind.

“The reader is reminded of the opening words of this chapter. The healer is only an instrument of the SPIRIT – he does not heal.”

SPECIAL BOOK REVIEW FOR HRA WRITERS

THE LOUD LITERARY LAMAS OF NEW YORK By Jack Woodford, ($2.50 from Vantage Press, Inc., 35 So. William St., New York 4, N.Y. 1950.)

HRA Naomi Holly, of Colton, Calif., who, like a surprising number of the HRAs, is a writer, has sent in her copy of the book listed above, requesting that it be reviewed for the benefit of us all.

Author Jack Woodford is well known to those who write or who are learning the gentle art. His texts are excellent. Now he gives an inside view of the publishing business – a most enlightening view indeed. After telling of the many rackets in the publishing field, of the way in which editors, agents and publishers prey on the writers, he gives the sage advice to “publish your own book and sell it yourself.” If you take your writing seriously and wonder what is wrong with editors, agents, and publishers of books and magazines, this little book of 91 pages is for you. If you have been through the writing mill, it will make you hopping mad. It may make the writing game seem far less attractive.

In reading the book I was reminded of what I once saw in the “Reading Department” of a famous magazine. There were about twenty desks at which sat boys and girls of hardly more than high school age. On one side of each desk was a tall pile of story manuscripts, properly sent “unfolded” for ease in handling, by the hopeful writers. Opposite this pile was another growing pile ready to go back into the mail. The “reader” opened each envelope, glanced at the name of the author to make sure that it was not one on the list of “regulars” acceptable to that particular editorial office, and then took up the stamps, which had been sent dutifully “loose” (not stuck on the “self addressed return envelope). As the magazines have managed to get a postal regulation passed that they can return a sealed MSS at about half the “first-class rate” which the writer is required to pay, the profit derived in handling the “invited” manuscripts is half of the return postage. A very inexpensive rejection slip is inserted in the return envelope with the manuscript and the flap is closed, the envelope decorated with half the stamps, and placed in the “outgoing mail” pile. The excuse is that it costs the magazines much money to pay for keeping up a “Reading Department” and to handle the thousands of stories arriving each day. Therefore it is legitimate to pay expenses by “clipping” stamps.

To publish and sell one’s own short stories except in book form would be out of the question because of the selling expense. In the form of a book, a few authors have managed to get “known” after a considerable time and to make a go of it. Practically the only type of book that one can have printed and sell by mail with success is the very unusual. It must offer something spectacular or something that will help the reader to exciting new abilities or skills. The thousand and one “courses” pay off because a book is divided into “lessons” and each lesson is sold for the price of a book. The price of advertising in magazines or by direct mail is very high – averaging about $5 per “course” sold, so I understand. MFL

MANY GRAND LETTERS have come in during the time since the last Bulletin was mailed. Herewith my very best thanks for those not marked “urgent” aid “no answer required,” also for unmarked letters and notes which were enjoyed even more because they were not answered and more time was allowed for work here at the study.

CIGBO SENDS HIS THANKS

Cigbo sends his thanks and most musical “MEOW!” to all of his “Aunts and Uncles” who have remembered him. Someone sent him two “perfectly wonderful dollars” but didn’t say who they were or have a return address on the envelope. The postmark could not be made out. Cigbo has credited the gift to the Po`e Aumakua and has spent it for stamps. He wishes to tell you all that he has never lost a bill, check or stamp that came folded loose in any sealed envelope. But he has lost his best Sunday temper several times because some Auntie or Uncle has stuck a stamp to a letter or has used a stapler to staple check or bill to a letter. Cigbo breaks all his claws trying to get the staples pried up. Worst of all is the bill that is stuck to the letter with Scotch tape and which gets peeled in taking off the tape. Cigbo wishes to ask, “How would YOU like to break all the claws off of your front and hind paws opening your bulletin if I borrowed boss’s stapler and clinched all the pages together right in the middle, or stuck the sheets together with some of that glue [or] did something else that was terrible inconsiderate?” Last but not least, Cigbo sadly announces that next month is time again for the quarterly sorting of his list to see who hasn’t been heard from for so long that he must be placed on the “inactive list.” As stamps and envelopes are in short supply now, “Cigbo warns that this time no letter will be sent – the Bulletin will just fail to come. (About ten Bulletins come back each month from HRAs who have lost interest or have moved away and have not had the grace to send a postal to say “Please stop Bulletin and count me out.”)

A QUESTION HAS BEEN ASKED

A question has been asked by HRA R.L.A. concerning the pronunciation of the several most used words in Huna. In Hawaiian, the vowel sounds are approximately: pronounce a as in arm, e as in obey, i as long e in machine, o as in old, u as in moon. Accent all syllables about the same. Aumakua as aum-mah-kooah. Huna as who-nah. Auhane as oo-ha-nay. Aunihipili as oo-knee-he-pea-lee. Mana as mah-nah, water, symbol of mana is wai pronounced as if the w were half v and the a and i were both short and run together something like saying “y” or “vy.” Kahuna as kah-who-nah. Aka as ah-kah. Honolulu has a long o each time and an oo for each u, as Hoe-no-loo-loo. Hawaii as Hah-vah-ee. Most usual mistakes are hue-na instead of who-nah, Ha-way-yuh for Haw-vah-ee, Hony-lulu for Hoe-no-loo-loo, Y-ki-ki for Vy-kee-kee. These pronunciations are not perfect, but will get any good HRA past unless he visits Hawaii and runs into HRAs, Charlie Kenn or Theodore Kelsey, our two Hawaiian language experts.

SPEAKING OF HRA CHARLES W. KENN reminds me of a letter received from him not long ago concerning the elements in Dianetics which were known and used by na kahuna and the Hawaiian people in general to a surprising extent. But let the letter tell the details:

Dear Max:

Just a brief note to say that I have purchased and read the Hubbard book, DIANETICS. It took me some time to get the material soaked in. It was, as you said, rather slow reading.

Then your Bulletin reporting on the book came and I read it through carefully. I soon became convinced that na old kahuna were proficient in the use of “auditing and Dianetic reverie” – also in handling the “engrams” etc.

I reviewed my notes, made when I was the secretary of a Hawaiian study group organized at the instigation of Dr. Buck in 1937, with such people as the late Prof. Beckley and other old timers as members. There were eleven members. All have passed on now but me. At that time we spent much time on the herbal medicines and lore of the ancients. One woman member, who had practiced healing with Hawaiian herbs for forty years or more and who has given me much important information, spoke at length on pregnancy, prenatal conditions etc.

She would say, in effect, that the unborn child in its mother’s womb was able to hear and absorb whatever conversation went on near the expectant mother. For that reason, in former days, everyone tried to hoo`hauoli (make happy) the mother. Only pleasant things were said in her presence and everything was done to make her condition more pleasant. She was taken to the sea beach and there her stomach was carefully worked on, so that the child inside would be hoo`huli (be turned around) from time to time. This was like a mother hen turning the eggs around or as is done in a modern incubator for chicks.

Lullabies were chanted to the expectant mother as her body was slowly rubbed, to quiet the child inside. Before delivery the child was spoken to and told to make its entrance into this world quietly and safely for the mother’s sake.

There is a na kahuna term for Dianetics, dianetic reverie, engrams and every comparative step. The na kahuna tried to do all that was possible to bring the child into the world without engrams, or with the minimum number of them. He also did “dianetic auditing.”

The woman above mentioned always talked to the unborn children of her own children, telling them such things as to be kindly and obedient, to have sweet tempers, and always to have respect for their elders. She (being versed in herb lore) was careful what food should be taken by the expectant mothers – nothing that would develop what the Hawaiians called ea (white thrush or Aphtha, a vesicular disease which affects the mouth, genitals, brain, spinal cord, and other parts and organs of the child).

In this art our present kahuna friend in Kona is a master. It prevents bodily debility because all possible parental weaknesses are gotten rid of through feeding the child herb juices as soon as it is safe to do so. I might add here that the kahuna in Kona is of the laoaau (herbal) class, also of haha paacao (diagnostician) and of the kahea (instantaneous healing) order. In addition, he is a kaula (prophet), his special kind of prophet being of the order of Papa Kaula Kuialua (the class skilled in foretelling the success or failure of battle, also versed in the lua or Hawaiian counterpart of jiujutsu. It is the highest manifestation and its success is based on gerontology, which is the maintenance of physical and mental well-being and which, in its esoteric sense, depends upon the development of psychic ability to foresee disaster and ward it off.)

As I told you in a previous letter, our kahuna friend demonstrated on Mr. Kekahuna for me the method of diagnosis, using the index and middle fingers of the right hand like a stethoscope.

The lomi`lomi art is also a part of the skill of the kahuna haha`paaoao, as here the diagnosis and lomi`lomi arts are combined. He could also be termed a kahuna lapaau because he is able to prescribe the proper remedy after his diagnosis. He’ll tell what is wrong with you, then what remedy to apply or to take. He is known from Hawaii to Kauai and highly respected for his knowledge, being referred to as he na kanaka kaulana – a famous man.

Best wishes, Charlie

I anticipate letters from a number of HRAs asking where to find this kahuna and whether he will give healing treatments from a distance, so will try to answer the questions in advance. This very old Hawaiian remembers all of the old lore as he learned it in his youth, but seems no longer to be practicing. In his letters to me, Charlie has said nothing of any healing work being undertaken at this late date. As to the additions to our knowledge of Huna which are being supplied, nothing has come through from Mr. Kenn or from Mr. Kelsey to help us as yet. It is one thing to have learned to use fine natural psychic powers and to have been able to get results with the various simple rituals, but another to teach others what took many years to master, even when naturally psychic. If Cigbo had $10,000 for use in his box, it might be possible to bring this kahuna to California for a time, together with Charlie to translate. It is not against the law to be a kahuna and to use the old methods of healing over here, so something might be accomplished. However, as things are, Mr. Kenn will eventually put all he has been able to learn into book form.

TWO TYPES OF HEALING

For the past year we have been trying out, as HRAs, two types of healing, (1) treatment of those who can work with us and in that way co-operate in the healing effort, and (2) those who can do little or nothing to help themselves.

Both methods have been successful beyond question when the prayers “hit the mark” as na kahuna would say. In the past few weeks I have had much reason to rejoice and give thanks to na Aumakua for the improvement in our insane young man, Gregg, whom a number of us have continued to treat regularly despite the outward appearance of alternate gains and failures. A letter came from Gregg’s mother four days ago, and one this morning as I work on this Bulletin. She visits him frequently, taking him special foods and doing all she can to keep him physically fit. I know that you will all be greatly pleased to have this good news, so reproduce parts of both letters.

“Just a short note to tell you Gregg continues to come thru the astral fogs. Yesterday, Sunday, he was ahead of his all-time gain to date. He was on the patio when we arrived and we walked him a little. He talked logically, although he had a hard time finding sufficient words to express himself at times. I had his own camera with me and he recognized it and asked me to be careful of it and “take it home.” When we were going into his room, he saw me pick up a rather heavy grip-container in which I carry his food. He reached out and said, ‘Let me help with that.’ He took it and carried it to his room, but there the thought persisted and he still wanted to help – not to put it down. You see what I mean. THOUGHT is coming back to him, but needs regulating – that sort of thing.”

A few days later : “I know that you will be happy to know that Gregg was finer than ever yesterday again. He really was. Ate his own meal – - talked with us. We heard a patient at a distance yelling loudly and he said to me, “Don’t mind him, let him yell, his mind is on that plane. All minds have their own plane, that’s his, so let him alone.” It was a bit of a jolt to me. Frankly, I’ll never encourage depths of thought in him, ever again. He saw so clearly – TOO early. He got LOST to earth completely – couldn’t get back. Not good. He again insisted on carrying my grip in, saying, ‘It must be heavy.’ For the moment, it is enough that he is finding balance again. Wonderful. I am almost stunned. No words for it. GLAD and thankful. Beyond a step at a time now I cannot think or go.”

HRA H. J. Schnedler, of Detroit, wrote on August 15th: “At the TMHG hour I am, and have been for some time, concentrating on the case of Mr. Gregg. Quite a flow of mana is leaving my body at these times, so I will continue it in the future. I am very happy in taking my part in this work and look forward to greater things. I also want to report more success in healing since I last wrote. I have long been afflicted with hay fever. Last season I noticed a marked improvement, and this season not a trace of it. I am at last, also, completely rid of a very annoying form of itching eczema above my right knee – which spread constantly for over ten years and no doctor could cure it. It all left recently. You will recall that I asked THMG [for] treatment for it some time ago.”

HRA B. K. of Alabama writes: “I am still praying for Gregg B. and know that he will be OK in time.”

HRA R.H. writes concerning the training of her little son who is nine and has had same experiences already in psychic lines. She hopes that he may grow to be a great kahuna, but is uncertain what to teach him. Considering the above letter from Gregg’s mother in which she expresses the fear that her son was allowed to go too deeply into occultism too young, this is of interest to us all. “I am fascinated watching Johnny and I have talked a lot about our guardian angels as I always did, but I am shy about introducing him to the more abstract concepts of Huna. He would be puzzled about the guilt fixations, etc. I think the reason he is so protected is that he has none. I have worked ever since he was born to prevent that, even when I went through a fundamentalist stage, for I know how handicapped I was in that respect. If anything occurs to you that I should include in my training, would you let me know? I mean, my training of him.” (I think it very wise to go slowly with the youngsters. Give them the simpler and less confusing ideas of Huna as a matter of course, however. They can understand the idea of the Auhane and Aunihipili and the Aumakua at an early ago, also the doctrine of non-hurt as the guiding principle of life.)

A NEW HRA PROJECT

We seem to have become bogged down in our efforts to find just the right thing to do to “raise the vibrations.” I have been reading with great care the letters that have come in on the subject and also have been checking back and forth in books, but the best I can do as yet, using the Bovis biometer for testing, is 900. I will continue to work on this problem, and request that those of you who are working forward on these lines of thought and experimentation will continue to do so. I feel that it is important.

What may be of even greater urgency in the near future is to combine our efforts to use our psychic powers and get glimpses of events in the near future. Several HRAs have written to ask me what I thought was going to happen in the next few years, and how the coming events may best be met.

I have just been looking over HRA Wing Anderson’s book in which he gives a collection of prophecies taken from sources other than the Bible. I have also seen several books written to give the conclusions as to “cycles” which effect business and prices, cause booms and depressions. The four cycles which are most generally recognized have their “lows” all arriving at the same time within a matter of a few weeks in 1952.

The spirit communicators of the Mark Probert circle (known to most of you through HRA Meade Layne’s ROUND ROBIN magazine and the BSRA releases) are most pessimistic in their predictions, as are the majority of communicators whose messages come to my desk via various HRAs.

In my years of observation, I have seen that the great majority of predictions made by spirits had, as a common fault, the fact that they were colored and influenced very strongly by the thoughts held by the sitters in the circle or what the medium may have been thinking. As the subconscious and the body of the medium must be used by the communicating spirits, it seems that they cannot prevent their own ideas and those of the medium from getting tangled and worked into the body of the prediction.

I have been warned twice of small dangers which lay ahead for me and which were later passed successfully when they came. On the other hand, I have sat in circles where dire “end of the world” types of prediction were very earnestly urged upon us. In Honolulu, around the year 1923 as I recall it, there was a gentleman who used the pendulum and his psychic powers with great enthusiasm. He lectured, gathered around him a circle of interested people, and climaxed his activities by presenting what seemed to be an almost letter-perfect case for a series of vast tidal waves to strike on a certain date. I remained skeptical, having seen too many such predictions fail, and on the “Great Night” did not join the group, which took refuge with food stores and other things on the top of a high hill back of Honolulu. Nothing happened, but still it might have been a genuine event and it might have been correctly foreseen. I could have been overwhelmed by a great wave as a reward for my skepticism – but that time I was not. I am not so sure about the predictions of this present day. All I am sure of is that there is a long chance that most predictions are no better than your guess or mine.

If you have a copy of HRA Dr. Nandor Fodor’s ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF PSYCHIC SCIENCE, you will find, beginning with page 297, five pages of fascinating and illuminating information covering prophecy and prevision or premonition. On page 73 begins a splendid article on crystal gazing. On pages 44 and 45, clairaudience and clairvoyance are discussed. In my book on Huna, SSBM, Chapters VII through X review the subject from the Huna point of view as well as that of psychic science.

I suggest that you take time to go over this and any similar material you may have in hand to get your mind turned into this channel of thought before you begin to work on this new project by which I hope that we may collect a good amount of prediction, then see what parts of it agree. If we find certain events foreseen by several HRAs in much the same way, we will have something rather important to go on.

A thing that HRA O.F. Stone of Knoxville, pointed out some time ago for us, seems to me at this time to be a most promising key to successful prediction. I intend to keep it well in mind as I get into the experiment.

This is the key to the subconscious and its strange method of presenting in symbols the things it gets, at our request, from the Aumakua – things relating to the future.

Mr. Stone found that, in his dreams or during his relaxed moments, the symbols would be given to him – not the actual visual picture of the future event or condition. After some study of the matter, he learned that if, as soon as he awakened or otherwise became aware of the symbol, he would at once ask aloud that his “George” give him the meaning of the dream or symbol, the meaning would very quickly flash into his mind.

We do not know why the Aunihipili works so much in symbols, but we know that it does. In psychoanalysis we find constantly that past events and fixations are all bundled up to make a symbolic picture. Dr. Fodor, in his many recent books and articles on this method of probing the contents of mind, has repeatedly told of his own experiences in running into symbols of this kind when working on his patients.

It is now known that many of our dreams contain parts which cover up prevision in symbols. In using the method invented by Mr. Dunne, as described in SSBM, there was not enough stress laid on the fact that one must watch for symbols which may embody things to come. If you try that very excellent method of taking paper and pencil and writing down dreams as you awaken at night, be sure to ask your Aunihipili the first thing in the morning to give you the meaning of all the symbolic things it has presented.

One of the stumbling blocks over which I have already tripped, is that I may remember a dream in the morning or when awakening in the night – the dream being of some seemingly non-symbolic happening or condition – only to discover that there was definite symbolic prediction behind the simple and ordinary-seeming thing seen or done or found happening in the dream.

If, after you have worked a time every day for a few days to saturate your George with the needed understanding of what you are desirous of doing, you make your request that he contact the Aumakua and get prevision, and give it to you in a dream or clear foreseeing of some sort, George responds – and gives you a dream of Great Aunt Clara smoking a large black cigar … well, then you will get the idea. You will ask George at the moment of awakening what he was trying to pass on to you. You might just have it flash into your mind that you were going to have to do something that you greatly disliked doing – and then you might remember that the thing Great Aunt Clara loathed above all else was tobacco and that, if she had to smoke a cigar, it would be symbolic of something most heartily disliked.

If the symbol is not explained quickly, it may be that the dream event was just ordinary and not symbolic or concerned with the future. However, it will do no harm to tell George (or Georgette, if more appropriate) to repeat the dream or be ready to give you the flashing solution the following morning, at which time ask him again.

Prayer to the Aumakua for guidance for yourself and your HRA fellows in the project should be a regular part of the work. This will help get George into the swing. Also, speak to him directly and tell him what he is to do. If you can develop some lasting interest and enthusiasm in the effort, and can hold your expectant attitude at the proper times – before going to sleep, for instance – it should not be long before you will begin to get results.

I plan to get a calendar for 1951 if I can find one and start in January, circling a date in each week and telling my George to try to get information as to happenings and conditions for that time. I have been visualizing the front page of my daily newspaper and seeing in my mind’s eye some future date. After a pause to allow George to try to get information as to what the news will be, I try to get a reading of the headlines. If nothing is obtained, I tell George to sleep over it and show me the headlines the next day. It is most interesting to see what comes through. Phrases, single words, pictures, symbols, sounds, and even smells, colors and tunes are arriving. Old headings of former “Extras” may also come back and, as they may contain a symbolic meaning, I keep careful track of them.

For those HRAs who are accustomed to using suggestion, it may be possible to get us some prevision material through some gifted subject. Two years ago, when we were having regular group meetings in Los Angeles, one of the group told us of a series of experiments in which he had used suggestion to progress a young married woman into the future by years. I have forgotten how far ahead she was when they came to a period so filled with sorrow, trouble and terror that the young woman refused to go on farther.

I was very much interested in the method as it was described. The subject was given the suggestion that she would progress to the desired year. Time was allowed for the progression to take place. “Are you able to hear me? And can you tell me the date?” would be asked. Eventually the date would be given. Following that there would be questions such as, “Where are you? Where is your husband and what is he doing? Are you happy and well?”

The young woman was a resident of Los Angeles. As she went ahead into the future, she described her surroundings and told where she was and what she and her husband and friends were doing. In the end, she was someplace in Arizona and the bottom had dropped out of her little world. She was so stunned by events that she was hardly coherent, in a dazed way she tried to tell what had happened, but could not make the conditions clear. She had lost all track of her husband and of her friends, she no longer knew what was going on in the world – seemed to be isolated in some small settlement.

I suggest that you make a few notes each day as to your work and, when the results become certain, set them down. In a longer or shorter time you will have material enough to use in making a report.

In making your report, give the method used briefly, as “dreams” “crystal gazing,” etc. Be sure to record the dates of all the readings you get in the newspaper type of experiment. Also watch for the place, if you find you are getting an AP dispatch. If you ask for letters from loved ones as they may arrive in certain weeks in the future as, say Christmas 1951, you may bring through things of importance to relatives and friends as well as to the project.

One thing I wish to ask, and that is that you do not write me accounts of your dreams if they are filled with symbols that you cannot get your George to explain. If you cannot explain them, I will not be able to do so. (I have already run into this situation and speak from experience.)

One more thing – a very important thing – please do not expect me to write acknowledging your letter or commenting on your dreams or symbols or report unless it is of urgent importance that I do so. Also, if you will remember to tell me on your report whether or not I can put the material in a future Bulletin, I will be greatly helped. And please say whether or not I can credit it to you or not, and whether to your initials only or full name, and if your address or just your city may be given.

HRA Wing Anderson, in his collection of prophecies already mentioned (PROPHETIC YEARS 1947-1953) page 99, has a prophecy made by a Wisconsin minister. It was received from him in 1945 and seems to have been based on fore visions covering some years.

This prophecy is of particular interest to me and will be to all HRAs because of parts of it in which Huna principles seem to be described as part of the predicted “new world religion modeled upon a basic formula. People will respond to it willingly, for it will be a soul religion as well as an intellectual one.”

Here are other parts: “There shall none hurt any more his neighbor.” (Check the non-HURT basic doctrine of Huna.) “Within the next decade (by 1955) all the changes predicted will take place, such as the downfall of the greedy and wicked and the setting up of a new economic system.” (Note the mother-father Aumakua hint in the following.) “Now they will learn that breaking the laws of Mother Nature and Father Creator has made disease-ridden bodies.”

I will report progress of the project in the Bulletins as we go along. It may take us a short time to get results or a long time. In any event, I will keep you posted. MFL
