Not really. I know people of many faiths, including "Christianity," who practice HUNA because of Max Freedom Long's imperfect understanding of Hawaiian spirituality and culture. My spirituality is along the lines of the American Indians, but I pray Hawaiian (because the Hawaiians had effective prayer down to a science.). 2. Two Bears; In HUNA healings aren't you exploiting the placebo effect? DK No. The "Time Trax" episode where Darien Lambert (Darien is a police officer from 200 years in the future, and is sent back in time to capture criminals from the future) and the Texas police officer are trying to catch the pair of jewel thieves, and Darien heals the officer’s injured neck and broken leg in minutes (after she had been hit by a car) while the injured officer is being transferred to the hospital by ambulance. This was based on similar events recorded about Kahuna healers. "Recovering The Ancient Magic", and "The Secret Science Behind Miracles" by Max Freedom Long lists several of these documented accounts. In June 2001, I was at the laundry mat, and treated a lady's injured hand; read the complete incident in "Real HUNA Experiences" about Tammy F. 3. Isn't the belief in mana and HUNA healing simply the power of suggestion? SR Based on my experience mana IS real. Mana is experiential instead of belief, and, no, it is not the power of suggestion. Mana cannot be proven to the degree required by scientists, but I know by first hand experience that mana is real. Insects, electronic thermometers, and clouds three miles away are not susceptible to the power of suggestion.
4. Is the 'Aumakua an ancestor, and the practice of HUNA ancestor worship as postulated by MFL? SJ I don't think so. MFL stated the 'Aumakua was an utterly trustworthy parental spirit. I believe the Kahunas figured out psychology hundreds or thousands of years before Sigmund Freud or Carl Gustav Jung were born. I believe the three selves equate to the sub conscious, conscious, and the super conscious minds. I am only sure of one thing. "For creation to exist, there MUST be a Creator." 5. Two Bears: why is it necessary to separate the fingers for a ha rite? MS Some of the energy pathways (the Chinese call them “meridians”) terminate on the fingers. When you allow the fingers to come into contact with each other, it allows the energy or mana to be grounded back into the body. 6. Isn't HUNA using your mana reserves? GH Not really. If you do the ha rite, you are replenishing your mana reserves. If you send the prayer picture to your 'Aumakua, it does not take all that much mana to have a dramatic change. Since you asked; here are some of the symptoms of energy drain. Feeling sleepy, tired, weak, hungry, or nervous. 7. I have studied qigong. Must I use the abdominal breathing exercise you describe for ha rites? KM Of course not. If you want to use reverse Taoist breathing, pore breathing, turtle breathing heel breathing, etc; in ha rites, be my guest. I studied Qigong (chee gong) long ago. This document is for people from all walks of life, and all levels of skill, and I want these techniques to be as safe and gentle as possible. 8. I have studied Ceremonial Magick, Wicca, and other forms of magick, and I have created thought forms. Is it possible that the Akua began as thought forms, and as belief in them spread to more and more people, the Akua took on a life and personality of their own? T.D. You are correct; that we have the ability to create. Create something on the astral plane, and given enough time and mana, they can become real on the physical plane. If the assorted authors of books on creative visualization had added the conscious gathering and manipulating of Universal Life-force Energy, then sending the mana and visualization to the higher powers, they would have given their readers a more powerful system. By building mana surcharges, and visualizing yourself with a different outcome; you CAN change your future. Back to your question. Yes, it is possible that the Akua started out as thought forms and became real as more people believed in them; but it is also possible the Akua are real spiritual powers as described by the ancient Hawai’ians. I have faith that Hina, Kanaloa, Kane, Ku, Pele, etc; are real! It is a part of the Great Mystery that we and our limited awareness cannot solve, so I do not concern myself with the issue. 9. You suggested that I use a pendulum and talk over my complexes and fixations with my Unihipili and 'Aumakua. How can I tell if I am really getting information from them, instead of my Uhane influencing the swing of the pendulum and getting the answers I expect. CH Great question! Answers from the Unihipili will evoke emotion. It is not uncommon for tears to well up in your eyes or to demonstrate other emotions when you get data from your Unihipili. Answers from the Uhane, you will detect the presence of the ego. Answers from the 'Aumakua will be logical, but devoid of ego or emotion. 10. Two Bears; I have had some bad experiences with entities while working magick. Is this a concern in HUNA? MH No. In magick; you spend time in casting the circle, calling the quarters, raising power in the circle, before you get into working magick. This attracts all kinds of entities because they want to tap into this energy. In HUNA you are gathering a surcharge of energy inside your aura (many times stronger than the magic circle). The mana is sent to your 'Aumakua (also inside your aura), and lastly a ha rite need not take more than 3 - 4 minutes from start to finish. 11. Huna sounds like new age material. Is huna worth my time? XJ Yes; HUNA IS worth your time; in my opinion. I don't know how new Hawai'ian mysticism is; but MFL began his research into the miracles of the kahunas in 1918, and there are documents naming the three selves as far back as 1898. 12. Does Huna really work that well in healing yourself and others. TC Yes! HUNA should be used as an addition to proper health care. You should NEVER use HUNA or any alternative healing practice INSTEAD of receiving proper medical help. 13. Why do you bash so many HUNA authors? DH Several people have asked me this question. I am not bashing HUNA authors. I see it as a duty to caution others walking in my footsteps so they may avoid the pitfalls I found. HUNA is a spiritual technology that really works, and it does not need for "Christianity", Wicca, Shamanism, Qigong or other systems to be added to it. 14. Two Bears; how can you be so sure Huna will work for me? IR Because I have seen HUNA work for me, and many other people that were willing to put these exercises into practice. 15. Two Bears; After reading your HUNA 101, and "Recovering The Ancient Magic" by Max Freedom Long; Huna sounds waaaaaay out there. Are you telling the truth about those incidents? JN All of those incidents happened exactly as described. I would suggest for you to put this spiritual technology into practice, and then watch miracles happen in your life. 16. Two Bears; you teach to communicate with the Unihipili and Aumakua via pendulum. Is there any proof the Hawaiians used pendulums? LR I have no proof Hawai’ians used pendulums; but they could have made pendulums. Suspend a pebble or kukui nut, sea shell, or almost anything with a hair or plant fibers. Since the Hawai’ians COULD have used pendulums; I am not going to discount the use of pendulums. 17. Which Huna book is best? MF I am not entirely happy with ANY HUNA book because all of them have various strengths and weaknesses. “Fundamentals Of Hawaiian Mysticism” Charlotte Berney is the best HUNA book in print. This book is very good overall, but has a few weaknesses.
See my bibliography where I list HUNA books in the order that I recommend them. Only the better books have been long out of print.  © Copyright 2003 |
