The Huna Kupuna

You know, it seems to me as if, since Kahuna Nui Max Freedom Long is the fulcrum of Huna, he has shadowed the others who spent their lives advancing the Huna movement so that almost no one has heard of them.

This is unfortunate, as their Huna Lores seem left only to the Huna Heiau to preserve and maintain them.

So this is a little introduction to the other Huna Kupuna or Elders of Huna:

Kahuna Nui William Tufts Brigham, Ph.D.

Ho`omana Initiate

5/24/1841 - 1/30/1926

Kahuna Nui William Tufts Brigham, Ph.D., was the link in the chain between the ancient Ho`omana practices of the Kahuna I ke Umu Ki, who initiated him in the Firewalk around 1890 in Hilo, Hawaii, and the New Thought positivism of evolved Christianity.

Kahuna Nui Max Freedom Long, his only Loreheir, counted the founding of what would one day be called in English: "Huna" (and in the Hawaiian, spelled: " `o huna" and pronounced: "ohuna" as the year Dr. Brigham arrived in the islands: 1872.

The Poe Aumakua (The Great Company of Divine Natures, the true creators and controllers of the huna movement) tricked Kahuna Nui William into going to the Islands by first making him lose all his investments in the Guatemala Coffee Plantation he attempted to create. Then the forced sale of his Law practice to pay for $50,000, which was stolen from his practice whilst he was in Guatemala. Then to come to his friend in California, which put him on the coast in San Francisco (actually Palo Alto) his friend Lyle Stanford. But still covered in the scandal, to Dole and Bishop, his friends from his youth, in Hawaii.

Here he created the great Bishop Museum in Honolulu. The major source of all scientific study of Polynesia and Micronesia.  His studies on various subjects in entomology remain cornerstones today, and are still available.

Here he became an initiate Firewalker, fought a duel to the death with a native Hawaiian Kahuna `Ana`ana, Death Prayer Kahunas, and founded the basics of what would eventually be called, "Huna" by Kahuna Nui Max Freedom Long.

Huna Research Associates & Fellowship of Huna Fellows

10/26/1890 - 9/23/1971

When it was almost time for Kahuna Nui William to die, Kahuna Nui Max Freedom Long was tricked by

the Poe Aumakua to going to Hawaii (you can read this story in Dr. E. Otha Wingo’s booklet: "THE STORY OF THE HUNA WORK").

After a time, the Poe Aumakua tricked Kahuna Nui Max into seeking help in suppressing a magical event in his life, which contradicted his "Scientific Attitude". The Poe Aumakua conspired to give him a "physical" vision of La Lani, or the light of Heaven.

But instead of helping him to discount the experience, Kahuna Nui William adopted and initiated him.

Years later, Max Freedom Long had this to say about his initiation:

"I did not realize it until weeks afterward, but in that hour he placed his finger on me, claiming me as his own, and like Elijah of old, preparing to cast his mantle across my shoulders before he took his departure. He told me later that he had long watched for a young man to train in the scientific approach and to whom

he could entrust the knowledge he had gained in the field--the new and unexplored field of magic."

Science of Being

Kahuna Nui William Tufts Brigham initiated Kahuna Huna Nui Max Freedom Long into the new religion, which had no name yet.

But this was just the initial theology of it. It didn't include any actual manipulation of Io's (Gods) mana (Grace).

This training came about under the Kumu Baron Eugene Fersen.

Baron Fersen was teaching a 6-month course in Mesmerism in Hawaii in the early 20th century.

The lectures he gave were all mimeographed, and collected and published as a book, "THE SCIENCE OF BEING".

Max told me that what the good Baron had trained him in was a sledgehammer of mana, and Max had tamed that into a scalpel for safe prayer and easy healing.

But now, he could see that it was a mistake to only teach the special breathing pattern of forty breaths. And that in some cases the sledgehammer approach was a better choice. In doing it the way he did that, he removed choice from us. But he said he was an old man by then, and he had to leave it up to others.

After Kahuna Nui Max died, I discovered through my investigations that when Baron Fersen died, he left behind an organization in Seattle.

I contacted them, but they were hostile to me (can you imagine?), and were also honest in telling me that they had dropped the thread of the actual practices and effects, and were now teaching it as a nice Philosophy of Life (much as some approach Huna).

Anyway, this is my favorite story of his training under Huna Kupuna Baron Eugene Fersen:

"I have told elsewhere of an experiment which I carried on after studying with Baron Fersen in Honolulu, and practicing a bit at accumulating a surcharge. I had successfully exerted a strong pull on several friends in the class, but I was not sure that suggestion or even imagination might not account for the pull. To make sure, I arranged with an acquaintance in the class to make a test on his dog. We took turns accumulating a surcharge, standing behind the dog, placing hands on his rump, and drawing them slowly away. The dog was pulled after our hands no matter how he clawed at the matting to resist. The strange part was that we felt no pull at all on our hands."

Max and his bud did this experiment in religious magic until the dog, growing tired of his part in being made the fool, reached around and bit one of them!

Once Kahuna Nui William went back to the Dreamworld (Paradise, i.e., he dies), Max came back to the Los Angeles area, it was 1936.

There he met the women who he was to marry and live the rest of his life with, Louise and Ethyl. He said of them that they were all living in Laguna Beach and Louise and Ethyl sat him down and proceeded to teach him how to write.

The law only allowed him to marry one, so he married Louise. But the three of them lived together all the rest of their lives.

The three of them worked together on Huna, but the ladies never left their fingerprints on anything Huna that I can see.

The Poe Aumakua, whom I serve, got up to their old tricks again.

Max had no intention whatever of ever writing about his nameless religion. Besides, new religions weren't very popular. "Psychic Science" was. but if anything was scoffed at, not ever considered legitimate for any consideration or conversation—it was tribal paganism.

But success had left a trail.

The most popular and successful New Thought religion, and that right there with him in Los Angeles, was Earnest Holmes’, "CHURCH OF RELIGIOUS SCIENCE".

They even did healings with specially trained "Practitioners" during their Church Services.

Holmes had done something else very attractive to Max. Holmes had created two sister organizations: "The Holmes Center for Research in Wholistic Healing", as well as his Church.

So Max did the same. He created the HRA (now HRI) as a research group and the FHF (Fellows of the Huna Fellowship) (Kind of redundant, if you ask me, but he didn’t. And besides if he had, all I could have possibly answered was a gleam in my to-be father’s eye.), i.e. The Huna Church.

For whatever reasons, the HRA took off, and the FHF didn’t.

Several times Kahuna Nui Max tried to get it going, but each time, the members of the HRA, except for a couple of radicals (like me) would block it. Even threatening mass resignations.

It never dawned on Kahuna Max to ask himself, "Why are these people here?" Upon the second uproar, he did

Again, except for a couple of religious radicals like me, Max could sort the comments streaming in from the HRA into two different piles of responses. Then his malamaka`opuahiki iki (little enlightenment) was upon him—but it was two late for him. The Final Friend was too near him. His time to join his fallen but belovèd Louise was too near.

The two main groups of protests were completely understandable. For a long time, I blamed them for Max’s death. But actually, none of us lives forever, and he died in his 80’s so it really wasn't unexpected, except for folks like me.

I enjoyed the sense of potentials the controversy hatched.

I even asked Max to have the first Huna conference of HRAs and FHFs.

But he turned it down, saying that all the Huna haumana who would come, would the "lone wolves" and all they would do would be to argue with him over what Huna was.

Then I wrote to Cigbo about it. Cigbo was Max alter ego and invisible cat.

I tried to enlist Cigbo's help in talking Max into having a conference, and although Cigbo favored it, nothing ever came of it.

I still have Cigbo's letter to me. I was surprised that Cigbo had his own stationary, and signature.

In any case, there would be two major piles.

These Max named the "Huna Minuses and the Huna Hyphenates".

Huna Minuses: The Huna minuses were an odd lot to me. I and many others have added and been inspired to add to our knowledge of Huna, but this is from a position of strength. It used and appreciates and honors the lifetimes of our Kupuna in giving us the power in our lives of Huna.

But the "Huna Minuses" group took an entirely different approach to Huna. In many ways they came to the teaching not with an empty cup ready to be filled, but with one already half filled.

They might believe that one talked directly to God, and therefore believed in Huna minus the Aumakua. Or they might have accepted the idea that God already knew of their wants and needs and so prayer was powerless and a waste of time. So they were the Huna TMHG (the major contribution to the Huna religion). Or they might not believe that we have a subconscious mind, and Unihipili, but Jung's idea of a universal unconscious mind.

There was even a famous group in Glendale, California, nice people really, called FOUG (Fellowship of Universal Guidance) who didn’t believe that we had evolved conscious minds (Uhanes), hence were Huna-EVO-CON (The Doctrine of Evolutionary Consciousness.

Anyway, you get the idea.

There were the Roman Catholic-Huna people, and the Buddhist-Huna people, the New Age-Huna people, the Wiccan-Huna people, etc.

The Huna Hyphenates: This other half of the bulk of HRAs were more understandable in their protests. The Huna Minuses just didn’t like the idea of an organization, and the need to come to a common understanding of what was what.

The Huna Hyphenates were already in some other religion, which held their submission and loyalty. Unfortunately, they didn’t work too well, or at all. These people were in the dreadful position of taking the religious technology of Huna, which worked, and added to their previous religions.

But that meant, clearly, that if Huna became more organized that that would place it in direct competition with their previously held Faith.

In this group were also those who militantly had no religion. The Atheists and Agnostics who had an interest in Psychic Phenomena, and were convinced of the efficacy of Huna. But since their stubborn and willful stance was against anything called "religion", they deeply resented any move by Kahuna Max to organize it further.

Reiki is deeply also affected by this system of belief. There are many "Reiki Masters" who deny that there even is a Reiki Mazeway or a set of moral and ethical teachings.

So the surprise of a Huna Church, already incorporated in the State of California in the 1940’s came as a complete and unexpected surprise to them.

The fulcrum of this dilemma rested in the basic integrity of Kahuna Max.

He might have led with Huna-as-religion. But he couldn't. Our understanding of how to do healings and exorcisms and the other miracles of Huna wasn't in existence yet.

Kahuna Max was unwilling to establish another religion which didn’t work. He was inspired by the work of the Kahuna Ho`omana of old Hawaii, and very much wanted to see that maintained.

And we had lost camaraderie and companionship of the fire. The sentient fire of the Firewalk.

Then too, the world was ready for a new stab at "Psychic Science", so he led off the discussions of Huna from the vector of the HRA rather than the FHF.

And so the FHF lay in a state of atrophy.

There WAS enough of a path left to guide me, but little else.

"Success leaves a trail." Tony Robbins says, and he is correct.

Huna is a grafting or scion between the Polynesian religion in general, and the tribal paganism of Hawaii in specific and the New Thought religious movement popular in the United States of America in the middle 1800’s.

Kahuna Nui William and Kahuna Huna Nui Max were both heavily influenced by it the positive impact of New Thought, which matched so closely the concepts of "aloha" and "lokahi" etc.

But once again, the HRA refused to go with it.

In a communication in 1969, a year and a half before he dies, he writes, and here the writing is on the wall:

H.V.. 85.

"MY WARM THANKS to all of you who have read with indulgence of my decision to do all I presently can to spread the Good Word of Huna while I am in this Incarnation to the end that the Ancient Lore will have a better chance to survive in recognizable form when I get back in a fresh incarnation. I must admit

that a few of you have sniffed at the whole idea, and that the majority have remained silent and have not written to say I might introduce them to other HRAs with the hope part of the Guidance, or at least not be for us yet. I have had several letters from different HRAs objecting strongly to the idea of "Church" and paid healers. Some feel these organizations on which I proposed that we pattern ours, are decadent and are NOT what we as a free and spiritual group desire. I am content to wait and to see what appears proper to do when the time comes and we begin to feel that we need a better form of organization for any one of several imagined reasons."

And here we see that Max has indeed attempted to "organize" Huna. But this does not hold. The HRA remains active, but the Fellowship of Huna Fellows is failing.

Or at least until the Huna Heiau was born.

[Emphasis is Max’s]

"THAT THERE IS NEED FOR A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FORM OF ORGANIZATION HAS BEEN seen already because members (and a few new arrivals) are playing the lectures to people who have never heard of Huna before. They may later on read my books and become better informed, but the missionary effort of the moment is based on a great SIMPLIFICATION of Huna and the presentation of a working prayer method to enable one new to it to begin practicing to get the system to working. These listeners are asked on the tapes to subscribe to the Huna way of life and make a pledge to them selves to begin living the hurtless and helpful life and to invite the Aumakua to begin to take its full share in living their lives. They are asked to accept the dictum of "No hurt: no sin." and "Serve to deserve." They are invited if they agree to conform, to count themselves members of the Huna Fellowship. and to accept the privilege of counting themselves Fellows of the Huna Fellowship, (F. H. F.) In starting the tape lectures I announce myself as a Huna Fellow and one holding the title of "Founding Fellow" as well as of "Teaching Fellow", (Some day I hope that we will have "Healing Fellows".)"

Now this was nothing less than a religious conversion, which only allowed a person into Huna who had accepted and committed themselves to the Huna doctrines. Boy, did the excrement really hit the fan then!

You see, it’s simple. You don’t have to agree with a particular set of doctrines to study psychology, or even be a Psychologist. But there was Kahuna Huna Nui Max Freedom Long himself saying that no one could be in the FHF (the Huna Church) unless they agreed with (submitted to or relied upon) the Huna

doctrines!

What a surprise!

Then Kahuna Max wrote of his forthcoming death, and his return. He left us a prophecy.

Kahuna Huna Nui Max Freedom Long says that he is "painfully" aware that many in Huna, do not accept it completely. But that we MUST come down from our "Ivory Tower" to meet the other people and see how best to SERVE.

Max says that of those few "true believers" in Huna, that they will all reincarnate together in about 2020 and continue the work of Huna.

I remember sitting in his front room, mulling that over. Max had already told me that he knew (as did I) that I would "finish up" in this incarnation and Graduate.

"But, but!" I spluttered, if I was going to give up most of the hedonism of this lifetime, I certainly intended to come back one more time and live in luxury and pleasure!

He thought about it a minute, then laughed. Max told me that if I didn’t want to Graduate right then and there, they weren't going to force me to!

Now I wonder. Dang that age difference! I don’t intend to be dead by 2020, so I’ll be An old man when he returns with the Huna Kupuna! Or, even if I died today, I wouldn't get too long a vacation until I came back here!

<LANI wants a good long vacation in the Dreamworld (the "Paradise" of Jesus)>

Then too, Max thought that he’d be BORN in 2020, so he wouldn't really make a good start until around 2045.

Hummm, I have visions of me worshiping my statue at some Huna Heiau. And I, not knowing that was me, would be saying, "Oh great Lani! If only I could be half as good as you!" hahaha.

But then, after my biographer, or whatever, finishes the telling of my life’s story, it'll be so muddled and wonderful and shiny, that I would never recognize myself in it anyway.

(That’s what good biographers do, make it seem like a person knew what was happening and what he was doing. Clean up their petty faults.)

If given the chance for Union with my belovèd and become an Aumakua and go into the Realm of Light instead of Paradise, that would certainly be a temptation, rather than returning here.

But then I’d be young again, and Max would be older again.

And I’d have to have a job, and pay the rent, and go to the bathroom; all things I could do without!

But then to work with Max again. Even not remembering who we are, er, were.

Maybe if things work out that way…but I’ll make my choices then.

Anyhow, back at the ranch:

During the decades between the first organization of Huna, in the early 1940’s until his death in 1971, a group of geniuses were brought into the FHF.

These people all came to see that their life’s work was inspired by the Poe Aumakua, and that it was a part of "Huna", although they didn’t know it at the time.

These people were all made into FHFs and their Priestcrafts into the Lores of Huna.

Of course, Dr. E. Otha Wingo of HRI knows all about them. I asked him once why he didn’t emphasize them, since they are essential to the actual practice of Huna, as our Holidays and Liturgy.

He told me that he preferred the students to discover it for themselves. And he is quite correct for the HRI, and not for the Huna Heiau.

Hummm, maybe I will be that source for you.

During the 1950’s a major thing happened to Huna which would alter it and influence it forever.

It was a cold and rainy night (I always wanted to write that) in Vista, California where Max lived just north of San Diego. The wind was blustery, and Max was bored.

Having nothing better to do, or perhaps it was ho'oulu ia, the inspiration of his Aumakua, he sat down with his dog eared copy of the Judge Loren Andrews, 1865, "Dictionary of the Hawaiian Language". An archaic form of Hawaiian, for the most part no longer spoken.

He started to go through the words, and made a gigantic discovery. The Polynesian tongue in general, and the Hawaiian in specific, was, as Toynbe had suggested, an artificial language!

Imbedded into the language itself was a linguistic code, which once unraveled, gave us our Huna terminology and our theology!

This forever links us to the Hawaiian language, but not as it is understood today.

This knowledge became part of the teaching of the Huna Church.

HRA: Huna Research Associate

FHF: Fellow of the Huna Fellowship—i.e. the Huna Church

Aurameter Dowsing

8/14/1896 - 11/11/1970

Rev. Vern Cameron was a HRA and FHF. He was a professional dowser. Very famous at the time.

One of his hobbies was the invention of "doodle-bugs" or small instruments, part human consciousness and part machine to dowse for water and oil etc.

He came over to Max’s all excited and everything one day. He had developed one of these doodle-bugs which could detect and outline thought forms (the Aka or shadow matter, what the Scientists called Dark

Matter when they "discovered" it).

It was put through many tests.

Vern didn't know what to name it, so Max named it the "Aurameter", after the supposed aura.

In time, it became one of the most valued instruments of Huna discovery and investigation; along with Psychometric Analysis.

I wouldn't hesitate to assert that any person calling himself a Kahuna Huna or Huna Practitioner, who wasn't competent with an Aurameter, is like a volleyball player missing a hand.

It’s possible, but not probable.

Then after many adventures with it, Vern died.

To give you an example of the kind of research work the Aurameter allowed to do, here is a partial example from; Kahuna Huna Nui Max Freedom Long, HRA Bulletin No. 61:

"During the week of July 2nd, 1951, your director (Max Long) observed, the operation of another device, so sensitive that when one extended a hand toward it, and then commanded it to move away, the device’s pointer swung through a 90 degree arc in the direction required. If commanded to turn toward one, the instrument would obey. In each case, a time interval of some 15-20 seconds elapsed before any motion began. This time-lag is almost as important to understanding this matter as the mental command obeyed by the sensitive instrument. When the mind gives the order something passes from the body under the direction of consciousness. It is explained in Huna, as a projection by the low-self [Unihipili] of an aka finger or contacting, etheric thread. With the aka finger, some energy must go which will cause the instrument to register a measurable reading. After a short time, mana, the vital energy of man, flows along the aka thread and builds up a charge. When discharged into the Aurameter, the needle acknowledges its directive. Regarding the time-lag, electricity and light move so fast that the short distance involved in this experiment counts as nothing.

HRA,. [Huna Kupuna, Kahuna Huna] Cameron, called my attention to this time lag when he asked me to make a mental image of some object. He then outlined the thought-form object with his Aurameter. It required about 30 seconds for me to visualize either a mental vase, ball or cone, sufficiently strong enough to be located and outlined with the device in empty space. [Kahuna] Cameron believes that the instrument becomes positive when it is held. As positive poles repel each other, the mentally created form or object must have enough bodily energy passing into it through an aka thread connection that creates a positive polarization and then resists the instrument’s pointer. We need the aka substance to contain mana, plus one’s directing consciousness which dictates the nature of the shape.

Such a thought-picture or object fades away in about a half an hour. To find out where the aka and mana goes, we have only to recall that ectoplasmic forms in the séance room often become visual as they emit from, and return to the medium. [Kahuna] Cameron’s concentrated thinking is able to build an aka-mana thought-form mold.

In Huna we make the picture with great care. We contact the Aumakua, present the mold we have made and allow the mana to fill it with force. One should always ask that the power of the Aumakua be used to materialize a permanent filling for the mold. A strange feeling of inner excitement occurs when one observes an instrument that can outline a thought-form... to see it trace the expanding margin of the aka body as one begins to pray..."

DOB. 4/5/1921

Fortunately for the world, Kahuna Huna Vern Cameron had a Loreheir: Kahuna Bill Cox.

Who, reaching the end of his tour here, retains his website at: dowsing.com

And still manufactures and sells the Aurameter.

He was kind enough to initiate me and some of my early haumana at my home.

At one point, he left for a walk. Asking us to trace his, unknown to us, movements and make a map of it.

It was fascinating to "see" him, with the tip of my new Aurameter, stand at a corner for a minute or two.

Without the Aurameter, Huna would be perhaps only 2/3’s of what it is.

5/12/1892 - 0/1/1952

The other leg of Huna investigation and discovery was Psychometric Analysis created by Kahuna Huna Oscar Brunler, MD, FHF.

Kahuna Oscar was long dead by the time I was initiated into Huna.

Kahuna Huna Nui Max Freedom Long himself took it upon himself to teach it to me.

This was a great gift he gave me.

When I joined the HRI for a time, I sent Dr. Otha Wingo a copy of the PA Max had done about me.

Otha had me do a PA of him too then.

He told me that it was indeed a classic PA.

AFAIK, I am the last person alive who was trained by someone who was trained by the Lorefounder.

In turn, I have now trained two others.

Aumakua Therapy

1/24/1914 - 9/28/1980

Kahuna Huna Beau was living in Honolulu at the time of his Malamaka`opuahiki iki (little or short enlightenment), but it changed Huna and everything else associated with it forever.

He was a genius. A member of Stanford University's long-term study of the lives of identified geniuses.

He was one of the foremost scholars of Sanskrit.

He was a famous theoretical mathematician.

He was the head of the Scientology movement in Hawaii—although that didn’t last.

He discovered that the Aumakuas would come down and take control of a healing session, and that in many, but not all, the results were astounding.

For the general public, he called it, "E Therapy", but he was a Kahuna Huna and FHF, and inside the Huna Movement, he called it, "Aumakua Therapy".

As the years have slowly passed we have discovered that it does best in healing of emotional problems.

Although physical healings, of the most dramatic sort, can happen in them, it is where the emotional healings lay that it really comes into its own.

Hence, I usually do Mana Infusions for Physical ills, and Aumakua Therapy for emotional problems.

Kahuna Huna Nui Max Freedom Long said, "Huna is incomplete without Aumakua Therapy!"

Kahuna Beau was long gone into the Dreamworld when I started to mature in Huna. But by placing targeted newspaper ads all over America, I finally found his wife, Betsy. Who, it turned out, was a fully trained Aumakua Therapist.

-Kahuna Beau

b. 3/29/1927

It turned out that both her and her mother, with whom she lived, could both use some healing, so I arranged for a trade of sorts. I would apply Huna healing to her mother and she. And in return, Betsy Kitselman would initiate and train me in Aumakua Therapy.

This took almost three months. And I would have to drive from LA where I lived, each time to meet with her in Vista; the town above San Diego where Max had also lived.

Later she did us all the service of holding an initiation at the Huna Heiau when I opened it some years later in the San Francisco area.

During this initiation, she disclosed that she had expanded Aumakua Therapy a little further in a specific direction, while not disturbing the work of her husband.

She taught this to us as well. It didn’t have a name, but when I described it to Kahuna Keonaona, she named it, "Self-Aumakua Therapy".

The other three modalities of Aumakua Therapy are:

Individual Aumakua Therapy

Group Aumakua Therapy

Team Aumakua Therapy

The difference between group Aumakua Therapy and Team Aumakua Therapy is that in Group Aumakua Therapy any group of people may participate. Whereas in Team Aumakua Therapy, there are certain "slots" for people who process in specific ways, and each slot must be filled.

In addition, a Tem works on one specific individual for a specific reason or purpose. Whereas in Group Aumakua Therapy, each person of the Group can be worked on, one at a time.

For a long time, it seemed that the only place you could receive Aumakua Therapy, which Max thought was so important to Huna was at the Huna Heiau.

Now, I’ve heard that it is very wide spread in the UK, but called E-Therapy.

Healing Icons

Mrs. Kingsley was the greatest, IMHO, healer England ever produced. And she was one of us!

This leads us invariably into the work of Dr. Aubrey T. Westlake, and his book, "Pattern of Health".

The book just showed up in Max’s mailbox one day. It was the first time that Max had ever heard of him.

But later Dr. Westlake joined the organization.

As well as a chapter on Huna, there was also one on the work of Dr. Edward Back, now in the hands of his secretary (Dr. Bach died in 1936, the same year Kahuna Huna Nui Max immigrated back to the mainland, taking Huna with him.

Mrs. Kingsley-Tarpey and Miss Nora Weeks got to hear of Huna for the first time too.

Mrs. Kingsley was 94 years of age at that time, and had developed her religious lore quite distinctly. But reading of Huna she finally understood that all her life’s work had been to enhance and complement Huna.

In the short time she had left, she conveyed all that she could of her healing wisdom. Our Ki`i Kukui are one result of my application of her Huna religious technology or Huna Lore.

Bach Flower Remedies

9/24/1806 - 11/27/1936

Dr. Bach's life's work is in interesting case. At first it looked as if it would die out, and the tinctures no longer be available to us. Now there is an upswing.

Dr. Back developed a series of herbal "Remedies" which treated a number of spiritual difficulties a person can have, which if not corrected can lead to disease and finally death, i.e. the separation of the Aka of Io (the soul) with the kino (body).

But he died the same year Max returned from the Islands.

After Dr. Bach’s death, his work was taken over by Miss Nora Weeks.

She first became aware of Huna through being given a copy of Dr. Aubrey T. Westlake’s book.

As she began her study of Huna, she began to realize that the Bach Flower Remedies were a part of Huna.

Max announced them to the HRA and FHF.

When I asked him what had become of them, he said that they had tried them, didn’t see much change in people, and left it at that. But Max suggested to me that perhaps the HRA didn’t use them correctly.

He provided my with an introduction to Miss Nora Weeks.

Man, was she ever miffed!

The members of the old HRA, it seemed, were very impressed with their new Huna skills with the Pendulum, but had run out of things to play with.

In the main, they weren't looking to heal anyone of anything, but to have something else to use their pendulums with.

So they, against her instructions, used their pendulums to identify which of the 38 Remedies to use. They failed to get the proper results.

How odd.

As far as she knew, not a single HRA had ever put to memory all of the definitions of the "presenting" problems a person might have. Something which was/is absolutely crucial to the proper combination of Flower Remedies to help a person.

Later, there was another problem. Dr. Bach had had to develop a new method of preparation of about half the Remedies (the other half were simply boiled in water). This was latched onto by some New Agers as the "Bach" method, and they were off and running. The fact that Dr. Back was compelled to boil half the types of plants was submerged.

Then a third blow came with the theory of "vibrational medicine". This is absurd. Take any book on Toxicology and look up the LD 100 for the Tetanus toxin.

You will find that if you take a heaping teaspoon of Tetanus toxin and throw it into a swimming pool full of water, and then divide up all the water into 3 or 4 billion drops, and inject it into humans. 100% of the human population of the world will on that day, die.

Now there may well be a "vibrational medicine", but the Back Flower Remedies don't demonstrate that.

So under the tutelage of Miss Nora Weeks I learned how to use the Remedies. And, properly applied, they are very powerful, and I use them as an adjunct to any physical or mental healings where they seem appropriate to me.

Today, The Heiau Institute of Huna Studies teaches their use, as I learned them. The course takes a little over 2 ½ years to complete.

Ah Kahuna Fred, may you rest in peace.

Such a good man. Died at age of 94 or thereabouts. Man what a loss to us!

What a gift his Clairesthesia is to us Hunians. Yet none have mastered it as well as he. Heads and shoulders above us all!

He and Max and Beau would pal around together in Hollywood, California, taking each other’s courses!

LOL

What a vision they must have made! The good Kahuna Beau, rotund, and Max and Fred too tall and lanky!

Max mentions him several times. Perhaps I’ll look them up when this chapter comes up for its final draft.

But Clairesthesia! Man! The ability to reach out to any living now or once living animals or person and communicate with them through your skin!

And so much more reliable than Telepathy!

Kahuna Fred is the one, then head of the "TEMPLE OF KNOWLEDGE CHURCH", who ordained me as a Kahuna Huna.

After about six months of testing me. He was well known in the Metaphysical community for the reliability of his readings.

When he had be do healings on both he and his wife, he said that I was the finest healer he had ever met.

When Max did his PA (Psychometric Analysis) Max told him that he had the highest Biometric (intelligence) he (Max) had ever read!

Kahuna Fred taught his initiation into Clairesthesia twice in the Huna Heiau, and once earlier in my home for me and a couple of Huna friends.

For the third Initiation into Clairesthesia, the Huna Heiau rented an entire facility where Kahuna Fred lived, high in the mountains of Idywild, above Palm Springs.

It was attended by Hunians from Switzerland, Norway, and the United Kingdom, as well as the USA, of course.

Kahuna Huna Fred Kimball’s contribution into Huna? Clairesthesia. The ability to communicate, on a reliable basis with anything that is alive or has ever been alive, at least until it is born again.

Self—Parenting

b. 12/6/1950

Dr. Pollard is actually in the next generation (this one). But he is the only one in the footsteps of the FHF, that I know of.

I thought I met him for the first time when the Huna Heiau had set up a booth at the famous Whole Life Expo, with its tens of thousands of attendees.

I saw him, unknown to me, walking down the corridor between the lines of booths.

It was very odd. He was nicely dressed, but everyone was getting out of his way, pretending they didn’t see him, but a free circle of about 8 feet announced his presence. He came up to me and we started to talk about Huna. After a time I became aware that people were all around us. It was as if his 8 foot diameter aura was a fountain they wanted nourishment from but were afraid a heads on approach, but sipped at the edges of the lokahi (unity or harmony with Io).

I discovered that he had created a new Huna Lore! And he had a book out on it. It was even dedicated to Max.

It is called "Self—Parenting" and concerns a technique for creating lokahi between one’s Uhane and Unihipili. Ending their natural competition.

There he told me we had met fourteen years before, down LAway. And I had had him for a short time as a client.

I didn’t remember him, and made arrangements for him to lead an initiation for all of us in the Huna Heiau, which was a wonderful experience.

But earlier, when I got home from the Expo, I was concerned. I should remember a client from only fourteen years.

But it eluded me.

I finally wrote to him, and said that the only guy of his stature I could remember from 14 years earlier was a creepy sort of guy, who was a vegetarian and had other food fetishes.

His Unihipili had hated him for it, and was punishing him with pain.

When I withdrew from my Clairesthesia connection with his Unihipili, I found that I was on his Unihipilis side, and refused to try to heal him until he gave up his strict dietary discipline.

He wrote back that that was him!

It had taken him 14 years of effort, but in the understanding of the false strictness he had created for his Unihipili, out of that crucible of fire, had arisen Self-Parenting.

And now he ate whatever he needed, according to his Unihipili, and his health returned. And his Unihipili now loved him, whereas before, it had only tolerated him, and only then when it wasn't hungry.

You know, gang; it is one thing to hear someone talk a good story, but quite another to see something actually in action.

I am very proud of him, and all the progress he’s made in this life, and his contribution to Huna.

It reminds me of an admonition by Kahuna Huna Nui Max Freedom Long:

It is not enough

That we read or think about Huna

Or any form of religion or metaphysics.

Too many read such materials

Only as a way of entertaining themselves.

They read and then indulge in another

Popular form of entertainment,

They speculate endlessly

And talk and talk and talk,

But never really begin to serve

The Great Poe Aumakua

Which hovers over the troubled earth

As a shining company,

And to whom the surcharge of mana is due.
