SSBM and Freedom

GOOD NEWS

It was recently arranged to bring out a reprint of SSBM, which I announced was on the verge of being out of print and which is out at this writing. The reprint will probably be ready at some time in January. New friend and HRA, Gordon Collier, son of the late Robert Collier, of book-selling fame, has leased the plates of SSBM and will have the new edition done, I am told, under his own imprint. He will soon begin a mail-selling campaign, offering SSBM with a gift book on the Great Pyramid by Worth Smith, the two packed together and sold at the price of $3.89 post paid. The address for those wishing to order this combination is, Robert Collier Publications, 72 Orchard St., Tarrytown, N. Y.  So far as I know,  it will be impossible to get SSBM separately. Under the plate lease contract, Mr. Collier is not allowed to sell at a discount to the book dealers. No word has been received as to whether or not the original publisher, Kosmon Press, 2208 West 11th St., Los Angeles 6, Calif., plans to continue selling SSBM at the old $3 postpaid price with the give-away book on Sleep Suggestion, or whether the book will be sold alone at the regular retail price of $4 – best to inquire as to the new price before ordering or to send $4 with the order. Books selling mainly through mail-ads are not handled as are the books published to be sold through dealers or book clubs it must be remembered. Please do not send to me for SSBM until I find out more about the situation and whether I can again arrange to supply autographed copies with the addition of Cigbo’s “Birthday present” set of eight full page photo illustrations to “tack” in as one finds time and glue for the purpose. This GOOD NEWS is most pleasing to me as it keeps SSBM in print and even spreads the word of the existence of Huna to more and more people. Read more

Discussion of Good & Bad Spirits

December 1, 1952

 

GOOD SPIRITS AND BAD need to be understood for what they are and what they do. “Birds of a feather flock together,” applies in the matter of evil spirits bent on feeding on the mana of the living and influencing them to evil, also to the good spirits who, while also helping themselves to the mana, exert what they consider to be a good and helpful influence. It is evident that we change little when we die because we take with us our full set of memories, complexes and attitudes, to say nothing of our hates, loves, hopes and fears. If, when we die and continue life in the aka bodies, we still hanker for the things of earth, we will stay on the earth level and fasten ourselves to the living who may be in a position to experience the earthly emotions and sensations which we still crave. We become what na kahuna called “eating companions.” On the other hand, if we have come to see that the better things in life are of the Auhane (or Aumakua), we will no longer try to share the animal actions and satisfactions and sufferings of the living na Aunihipili, but will strive to help the living – either that or let the living take care of themselves while we enter into the new kind of life on the other side of things.

LATE NEWS ON HOO`LA AND REV. JESSIE CURL

She will be in Los Angeles on the 27th of April, demonstrating at the church of Rev. B. England, 1600 W. 6th St. At 7:30 P.M.

I will try to be there to introduce her and to explain that, while healing by spirits who worked through a medium was only a very small part of Huna and the work of na kahuna, it is a real part of the ancient system. I am, of course, anxious that no one lose sight of the fact that Huna covered many other things besides healing of the spirit-medium kind. Huna is a complete system of psychology. It is a basic religion. It aims to give the living individual power to do in complete form, what the spirit can do only in part. No spirit can, for instance, hunt down and cause to be drained off, the fixations that prevent healing in so many cases. However, even with this lack, Jessie Curl offers a healing service which is effective in part, if not 100%, and this is very important for those who cannot wait for the time when/if we HRAs are able to develop full fledged na kahuna able to use the entire system of the Secret. She is making efforts to furnish a house at 8952 National Blvd., in Los Angeles, with the help of friends … or rather, friends are making the effort for her. (Phone Vermont 8-4162 and talk to Llewellyn George or Mrs. Emma Kropp if you can spare articles of furniture to be picked up by them here in L.A. The main backers are those who have had much relief for their chronic illnesses and who are anxious to enable Rev. Curl to locate near them so that they can continue getting help. It is hoped that the house will be ready April 1st for their arrival and occupancy.) Read more

THIS IS TO BE A BULLETIN MADE UP OF LETTERS, REPORTS, COMMENTS, ETC.

ORIGIN OF POTENTIZING THEORY

HRA EGH. writes: (As to MFL and all Fellow Researchers) “The world does move – in reverse. Bulletin No. 72 is a masterpiece of evidence. I refer to the second paragraph, headed HOW TO POTENTIZE, outlined by Dr. Oscar Brunler. This is nothing new. It is straight Homeopathy, a science of healing by high vibrating medicines, outlined by Dr. Christian F.S. Hannemann in 1796, and offered as a textbook in 1810. I owe my life to Homeopathy and goat’s milk, hence my interest.

“The method used in Homeopathic pharmacies, of which there are long established ones in Baltimore, Philadelphia and St. Louis, to my knowledge, differs from Dr. Brunler’s ‘flower essences and water’ (not Dr. Brunler’s but MFL’s hasty way of putting this point) in that the act of potentizing demands ‘agitation’ and the diluting solution is alcohol and water. For mineral salts, ‘trituration in a mortar’ is substituted. One part of the salts is mixed with ten parts of neutral sugar of milk, and ground with a smooth pestle until a homogeneous powder results. For higher potencies, that process is repeated ad lib.

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.

MUCH TO MY AMAZEMENT…

I am able to announce (as the New Year approaches to within less than five days – keeping my fingers crossed, of course) that we are still HERE. The earth has not swapped poles (as predicted for 1937); no new ice age has frozen us in our tracks; the Korean War has neither ended in starting a world conflagration nor in our boys being driven into the sea. I am particularly gratified to be able to announce that the warning preliminary quake in the West Coast country – which was to have presaged a second great quake – was two years behind time (as of the Christmas Day just past), and the entire Pacific Coast has not yet been shaken off into the Pacific deeps, followed by tidal waves to reach back as far as Salt Lake City. I also am able to point out the fact that the end of the world has not come, despite its prediction every year since about A.D. 33. Like the sturdy Greek of mythological fame, who was shipwrecked and who rose on a rock to pound his chest and cry, “I am safe despite all the gods!” I venture to mount my rock and lift my voice. True, Neptune may rise and prod my rock with his trident, but …. well, again, he may not. Read more

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

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

NEWS FROM THE STUDY

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

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