THE PROGRESS OF THE FIRE-WALKING BOOKLET
The type is all set and it ran 44 pages. Our booklet is to be 5×3 inches in size, and our printer, HRA Franklin Thomas, is waiting until Cigbo can supply enough money from advance payments on the orders to allow the cuts for the illustrations to be ordered.
Less than $100 has come in although 278 booklets had been ordered. If the response by way of advance payments does not pick up immediately after this Bulletin is sent out, plans will be radically changed. Only enough copies will be printed for those who have sent in their payment, and the plan to have half-tone cuts and a larger edition to give extras for HRAs still to come, will have to be dropped. For illustrations for such a small edition I will borrow the original negatives from Mr. Hu, the photographer who made the pictures of the fire-walk, and rig up a darkroom so that I can print photographs to go with the books as illustrations. My face is very red. Mr. Kenn’s is pink, and CIGBO’S is almost purple from trying to scratch up the missing $200 from his splinter-bottomed cigar box.
May I repeat that no one stood to make a profit on the writing, printing and distribution of the booklet. HRA Thomas planned to try to break even by printing up some extras at his own expense and selling them to his friends if he could. All the rest was a labor of love, of course.
No one is to blame for the difficulty, so we will “blame it on Cigbo”, as usual. He doesn’t know any better, and accepts all things laid at his door philosophically.
HRA Charles Kenn
HRA Charles Kenn paid me a final call on July 8th, read proof on the prayers and invocation given in the native dialect of Huahini, at the printer’s, and sailed via plane with his parents on the 11th. He hopes to come over from Honolulu again in September for more lecture work before university groups, and will, of course, do his best to spread the news of the rediscovery of Huna. The new Huna Group in Honolulu has made an excellent start and our hearty congratulations go to its members.
[Editor's Note: The booklet was eventually published under the title "Fire-walking: From the Inside". This book is required reading for all advanced students and initiated Umu Ki Priests who continue this Firewalking tradition. I've had photocopies of this very rare book for a number of years. About a month ago, I was fortunate enough to find an original copy of this 47 page book from an estate sale. (The picture of the cover and title page are below). I know of only one other copy still in existence. If you have a copy and ever want to sell it, please let me know. At least one other Firewalker I know would like to own an original copy. Manawanui]
THE PENDULUM STUDY
THE PENDULUM STUDY continues to go forward with a great show of enthusiasm from the majority of the HRAs. Reports come in daily on the results of individual experiments. Under the coaching of HRA Edgar Block, who issues mimeo sheets to his friends now and then on these subjects, the Fresno HRA Group (Calif.), is planning experiments with seeds treated and untreated with mana.
OSCAR BRUNLER
OSCAR BRUNLER, dean of the dowsers, and inventor of instruments and processes, gave the good news in an evening spent talking over the pendulum, that we were free to make use of any information in his published articles or which he could give us in other ways. A special page on such information will be found in this Bulletin.
His associate in his work, Dr. Calver makes very excellent coffee and is a fine source of information on a world of subjects of interest to us. They have made their headquarters in Hollywood, having come over from England recently. England’s loss - our gain.
MANY THANKS
MANY THANKS to all of you who have written much appreciated letters giving me your personal news, reporting on your experiments, your healing efforts and the results in that line, making comments, giving ideas for the work, sending in generous contributions to Cigbo, etc., etc., AND marking your letters NO REPLY EXPECTED. Your kindness and understanding in this matter has given me time to study with care all the excellent material which is sent in, and to read with care even the ten-page letters. I am still behind in reading the books and printed materials sent in, but have them saved up for attention after my hasty glance through on arrival. I have been interested in the various “Courses” and similar materials which may give us the chance to sift each for a bit of something practical, and may help us to understand better the more obscure teaching in Huna.
May I take this opportunity to say again that our work together is primarily that of reconstructing the ancient Huna system and seeing whether or not we can learn to use it with skill and certainty. Each HRA is entitled to his or her personal beliefs in other systems, and when other religions or psycho-religious systems are mentioned or discussed by me in the light of Huna, it is not because an attack is being made on other ways of believing and working, but because we all need to see how various dogmas appear from the simple and direct point of view of Huna. I have had almost no letters scolding me for inadvertently treading on toes. All of us understand that we are working through a great tangle of beliefs and practices in search for more light on Huna. As Huna is so very ancient, any light we throw on it may at the same time throw light on the later religions and systems.
We are very fortunate in having in our small organization a picked group. We all know that the great majority of people cling blindly to some system, closing their minds to all others. One of the delightful things about working with my HRA friends has been the almost invariable breadth of view and width of reading, study and experience in the psycho-religious field.. Above all, we are a serene company. Only one letter has arrived in which heat was shown because Huna did not agree with the personal beliefs, and this letter was not from an HRA but from a chance reader of SSBM. We all seem to have risen above personal prejudices and to have come by our various roads to the place where we can look calmly out over the lower levels of religious and philosophical strife, One HRA wrote, “…a detachment that seems to bless us like dwellers on Olympian heights…”
THE QUARTERLY BULLETIN
THE QUARTERLY BULLETIN planned for the busy HRAs who are unable to keep up with the Bulletins, now that they come oftener and fatter, will probably have its first issue early in September. Two questions have come up concerning it. First, about what it will contain. It is planned to have in it the news of our activities, the outline of any new findings, an account of anything new and different that we take up for experimentation, and a representative report on the result of our efforts to find ways and means of training the Aunihipili and of bettering our already good score in healing body, mind, purse and circumstances. Any HRA on the Quarterly list may at any time ask to have the back Bulletins or take up the regular issues again. The second question has been about contributions. This remains, as before, up to the individual. Those who can help are asked to do so. Those of limited means can help with a few stamps unless even those are out. Non-members may also have the Quarterly Bulletin. M,F.L.
THE JARGON OF THE NEW PSYCHO-RELIGIONS
In New Thought and the “science” cults, to say nothing of Spiritualism and the many newer variations of older religious systems, we have developed a number of JARGONS which would have been quite unintelligible a century ago.
And, we who are working to understand and put to use the ancient Huna system are swiftly adding our share of old words which are bent, beaten and pulled, spliced, stretched and twisted - all to make them fit some unfamiliar concept.
Every day I get a letter or two from IRAs who use these new jargon terms with telling effect in passing across to me their ideas and feelings concerning Huna and concerning the materials of the much larger psycho-religious field as a whole.
Take for example the terms, low, middle, and High for the three selves of man, for his three manas and his three aka bodies. To a stranger the mention of the “Aunihipili” will be most confusing, and therefore, to him, a jargon. It is even confusing to some of us who are familiar with the Huna ideas and symbols. In a recent Bulletin I said that the idea of “low” as connected with the Aunihipili was bothering some of us who reacted to the word as to the idea of a “low” or unworthy or even bad self. I suggested the use of the substitute term, “inner self”, and this brought a protest because this alternate term had been given a number of meaning already - meanings ranging from the subconscious, conscious and superconscious to the Christ-within and to Very God, I AM and so on.
It was pointed out that the Huna symbols probably antedated most others in the same category, and that we might be wise to stick to the originals as closely as possible. While we will have to make adjustments, as individuals, in the matter, it will seem easier if we keep in mind the symbol instead of any modern use of the word.
Take the symbol of low, middle and high, in Huna. This was the outward or non-secret meaning drawn from common language; but the initiate kahuna soon knew that ELEVATION in terms of SPACE had nothing to do with the basic concept of the three selves, the three manas or the three aka bodies - nor with the physical body, for the matter of that. The symbol was used mainly to indicate three levels of growth, of fineness of materials and speeds of vibration, to put it roughly. While the un-initiate came to think of Heaven as a place in the skies and Hell a place below the earth, the instructed knew that this place allocation was only a handy crutch for teaching and for hiding the “Secret”. “Low” may be “evil” to us because of the connection with the externals and with the “hell” connotation, but the word is so useful and forms such an explicit unit of Huna’s jargon, that it is very difficult to substitute another word symbol.
To show how quickly a tangle can develop, consider a letter that came in recently. The writer was not familiar with Huna, except through the Huna pamphlet, and I had tried to snick off a short answer to the several questions she had asked. In doing so I had used the term, “inner self”. A prompt reply came back asking, and rightly enough, just WHAT I meant when I said that all prayer was telepathic and was given to the inner self for presentation to the Aumakua. “I thought the Aumakua was the I AM or God Within us. What do you mean? To whom do we give the prayer to present to what?”
Even our smiling use of “George” for the Aunihipili, is not without its drawbacks. If we have to have “George” we need “Georgette”, and that brings up the puzzling question as to whether the low and middle selves are of the same sex or not. The kahunas had a variation in the word Aunihipili, which was Auhinipil.
As none of the other words used for the other selves showed this difference, it might be an indication that the sex difference was recognized in the Aunihipili and in the body which it animates. If the Auhane (Auhane) has a sex differentiation, as we suppose it must have, it would be expected to be of the same sex as the Aunihipili. However, the plight of the dwellers by the Wells of Loneliness seems to indicate an occasional mismatching of pairs of low and middle selves. It is further to be supposed that if this problem made a great difference in the use of Huna, the kahunas would have left us definite information in the words they employed to cover the matter. The word left to us is mahu, which gives in its roots ma and hu nothing more significant than the meaning, “One who is accustomed to deviate from the usual path or way”.
It is the necessary struggle to find words that causes the tangle and results in the invention of jargons. Take the word. “truth”. When we remove it from its simple meaning and try to apply it to the abstract concept of an great, all-including and utterly correct knowledge of everything that there is to be known, we find the simple word a tack hammer when what is needed is a pile driver. Even the seemingly far-evolved spirits who taught through the medium, Stainton Moses, years ago, were beset with this same difficulty, and were forced to coin words like, “Divine Truth” and “Christ-spirit”. (As I turn the pages of my battered and coverless copy of a book giving those teachings) my eye falls on one of the many significant passages, it is, “The spirit-world looks with awe on the near future. War is probable, and everything tends to a great European convulsion. Wars will cease when man is perfect, but that can never be while he is incarnated..” This was given in about the year 1888. Here is another quote, this time from “Imperator”, ”You live in the last days of this era which is called Christian. Christ is now returning in spirit and in power, bringing the new revelation which should enfranchise the souls of men. What the medium regards with dread as infidelity and unbelief is only the fallow land in which good seed may be sown. The mind choked with tares and old superstitious beliefs is far worse than that which is free from all prejudices. Fear not because so many of your prominent men are destitute of what you call religion. A clear receptivity must exist before new truth can be borne into it.”) I discover a bit farther down the page some more prophetic lines. They interest me and may interest you. Again I quote:
“The whole fabric of society is honeycombed, and there are mines which may explode at any moment. What you call communism or socialism is an evil, the full potency of which none of your statesmen at present realize …This, your world, in its social and religious aspects, has come to its last gasp, and needs some new power to give it vitality …Money is taking the place of God.; and in the luxury and idleness that prevails among you are to be found the elements of dissolution. Across the face of your country is now written ‘Ruin’. Prepare, then, for the final struggle; it will be between good and evil, between faith and agnosticism, between law and order on the one hand and lawlessness on the other. It will be a time of grievous trouble. Then will the work be attributed to blind force or diabolic agency the destitution of the human spirit and the powers of the adversaries are sources of constant trouble to us They are spirits who have developed antagonism to the progress of all that Is good amongst men. The days are coming when there shall be such an outpouring of tide Divine Spirit as shall reach to the uttermost corners of the earth, driving the adversaries into the open in revolt, and bringing home to receptive souls the message of truth for which they are longing. Keep your eyes fixed on the future, and do not despair. Greater is He that is with you than all that are against you.” (From a reprint of material which first appeared in “LIGHT” in England.).
To get back to the building of jargons, let me quote a bit from Judge Troward’s famous Edinburgh Lectures, page 97: “….just as we can by suggestion impress a certain character of personality upon the individual subjective mind, so we can, and do, upon the Universal Mind; and it is for this reason that I have drawn attention to the inherent personal quality of pure spirit when contemplated in its most interior plane. It becomes, therefore, the most important of all considerations with what character we invest the Universal Mind.; for since our relation to it is purely subjective, it will infallibly bear to us exactly the character which we impress upon it; in other words, it will be to us exactly what we believe it to be. It is, then, impossible to overestimate the importance of the conception of the Universal Mind which we adopt.” (His idea was that the Universal Mind was also a Universal Subconscious) and therefore subject to being controlled by us by means of a form of suggestion. The theory sounded fine, but did not prove to be particularly successful when put to the test.)
In the above quotation it will be seen how necessary it is to understand just what meanings were assigned to different terms in the particular jargon used.
Even the usual clearness and directness of Mary Austin did not escape the necessity of a touch of jargon. Here is a passage from her “Can Prayer Be Answered?”, page 47: “Prayer, to whatever names it has been addressed, and under whatever theology, is a self-originating gesture of the human mind to meet a corresponding gesture working within the constitution of the created universe. It may be that the renewal of this general human habit waits only on a more modern organization of our theocratic ideation, and that God is in fact no more than the activating element in Spirit. Note that I stress the item of activating, rather than desirousness.
Prayer is the whole process of becoming; of complete expressiveness of which we shall never arrive at any given mark…”
Jargon such as I have been setting before you, is, so far as I can see, legitimate and necessary, but it needs to be explained before using, just as medicines need to be “well shaken” before taking.
But what I really wish to stress is the needlessness of compounding our legitimate difficulties by taking liberties with the King’s English. I have many letters in which the jargon seems to belong to something called the “New Language”, and I must confess that this is a language I do not speak, to say nothing of understand.
I am accustomed to the change of atonement to at-one-went, but when I find intelligence chopped into in-tell-I -gene, and holy made into whol-I, or the Lord’s glory changed to glow-ray, I wonder how long it will be before I am confronted with I -t for it, he-a-ven for heaven, and. Ev-I-l for evil.
As nearly as I have been able to ascertain, this ultimate nonsense had its beginning some years ago when there was a popular movement to examine the original meanings of key words used in the New Testament. This legitimate and praiseworthy occupation brought to light the fact that the word for repentance was, in the Latin, metanoia, which Basil King (”Conquest of Fear”) page 45) describes as having the meaning of “a sober, reflective turning of the mind”. He adds, “Repentance had come to have so strong a gloss of the hysterical as to be almost discredited by men of common sense. It was a relief, therefore, to remember that it implied no more than a turning to God by a process of thought; and that a process of thought would find Him.” He continues, “Salvation - Soteria - (means) a Safe Return.’ That is all. Nothing complicated., nothing high-strung, nothing casuistical. Only a Safe Return.”
I can go all the way with this beginning of the movement. I can appreciate added stress on parts of an idea, as in speaking of, “Life’s BE-ing, Laws and purposes,” but in the name of common sense and sanity I protest against the unnecessary mutilation of words and bob-tailing of the ideas for which common words stand. I even prefer disease to dis-ease, if it matters to anyone. M.F.L.
Pendulum notes from an evening with Dr. Oscar Brunler.
The proper amount of energy in the ulnar nerve of the arm is necessary for the use of the pendulum or the rods used in dowsing for water, treasure, metals, etc. You have it or you do not.
All things radiate, and these radiations are picked up by the body and their presence and nature are indicated by the action of the pendulum.
For every electro-magnetic charge there is a corresponding opposite or “di-electric”. This di-electric charge, flow or radiation is very important in measuring with the pendulum. Different things send off different radiations, each causing its own type of reaction in the pendulum when it is held over a specific thing or when that specific thing is thought about by the one using the pendulum. Gold causes a pendulum to swing to make a “V” and then adds a small curve at one end. To hunt for gold treasure or a gold mine, test your pendulum over some gold, observe the swing pattern it makes, then hold a sample of gold in the free hand or think of gold. Hold your pendulum over different likely sections shown on a large map, and if you are good, it will give the gold movement over places where there Is gold. Try it over Fort Knox and on known mines, or over a city map with known places selling gold watches and the like.
Dr. Brunler, who has been examining the country out of Hollywood by means of maps and trips out to check on the ground, tried for gold on the desert. He located three spots. On a trip to check up, he and his friends found mines in operation at two of the spots marked on the map, but not at the third. They plan to dig there. The same happened with tests for oil. An oil field of great size and richness was indicated in the desert country by the pendulum. It repeated on the ground. Tests were made with the latest “doodle-bug” instruments. These measure the echo from a powder explosion in a drilled shallow hole, and graph it on a magnified scale. The indications checked - 300 feet of rich oil sand. Land was leased over the pool and drilling will begin in September. Water for drilling needs was located by the pendulum close by.
Treasure hunts were also made by Dr. Brunler and his friends in an effort to find the famous “Lost Mines” of the South West, of which there are so many stories. Treasures also. Some fine places to dig into later were located. One place had three tunnels driven into the steep side of a hill. The pendulum showed that all three were twelve feet too far down.
Two great underground water flows were locked in the mountains near enough to be of great value to Los Angeles. Dr. Brunler drew lines where his pendulum indicated the flow. Later someone pointed out the fact that one line passed right through Fish Springs, from which a goodly river rises.
The standard “brain waves” seem not to be measured by the pendulum, but perhaps the di-electric, as with a special instrument called a bi-o-meter, silk cords running from the head to the instrument cause the pendulum to swing exactly two and from the body, over a plate with markings, when the ends of the cord and the block to which they are fastened, are slid along a metal scale to a certain spot. Accurate readings of ones mental capacity are made. A reading of 110 is an indication of an idiot. Around 700, a genius. Dr. Brunler’s indication is in this part of the scale - he sees no reason to deny it. (His discoveries and inventions are such that they bear out the reading. He has found a way to make a light dusting of commercial fertilizer do the work of 200 times {or was it 2000?) its normal. Some atomic change..)’ (I am reporting what I was told. Don’t ask me :for more details. No, I do not know whether you could get in on oil or gold discoveries being made in this way. )
HRAs REPORT - FINDINGS - SUGGESTIONS - HEALING PROJECTS AND THE OUTCOME
GOOD-BYE WAYNE. Many HRAs have asked how ERA Ernest Bateman made out with the spirit, “Wayne”, who was called the “answer” to the problem of the pendulum. This learned and seemingly ultra entity told us where the kahunas were wrong - remember? The next letter from E.B. read., “At long last my Aunihipili decided it was time to get on the band wagon, and is now working with me 1000. He chased the spirit companion Wayne out in the cold, and now through him (Aunihipili) I am in constant, intimate contact with my Aumakua…that is indeed startling to me… Discount my last report. It is partly true, partly false. It seems that our Aumakuas are the only spirits that we can depend upon completely, as the ancient kahunas discovered. Wayne told me several lies, as I found by recheck on local Seattle records, and by checking with my Aumakua. Each day increases my thankfulness for Huna, and my only regret is that it came into my life so late…J.F. reports improvement. My wife is able to use her hand and elbow more and more each day…. Wayne seems to have filled in and used the pendulum through me during the time that my Aunihipili sulked, and was ejected when the sulking was over. It was indeed amusing to watch. ” (So now we know what became of “Wayne” .)
“LESSONS ARE OVER MY HEAD IN MANY RESPECTS” wrote HRA C.G.F. of Los Angeles-But he continues, “…I am thankful to be able to tell you that I am free of the tic douloureux.” (Help came through the TMHG.)
“MY MAP IS ROLLING RIGHT ALONG”, writes ERA H.F.W. from Detroit. In addition to more money. and other blessings, he says, “Now for one of the ‘intangibles’ I have noticed. You see, Max, I am primarily an artist although at the present time I am utilizing my talents to create better looking automobiles, which is a highly specialized field. Since I made my map I have noticed a positive, definite improvement in my work. A sureness, a quality, is being brought to the surface that I felt before only on isolated occasions…Experiments with the boxes have been quite successful.” (This is really very important. We can now expect help in writing and all the difficult skills. Huna is working for us.)
A RESPONSE VIA THE AUNIHIPILI AND A DREAM is reported by HRA in Nebraska. “I haven’t been much use in helping with the box and pendulum experiments for BRA. But I was in desperate need of help last week concerning a family problem. I got a surcharge of mana and sent my prayers to my Aumakua and the Po`e Aumakuas of our family. I prayed nearly all night and even in my dreams I was praying. I finally dreamed that my prayer would come true. And it did. We were all so happy about it.” (That is really making a Huna-type prayer. It is evident that the Aunihipili was sufficiently impressed to keep up the good work even during sleep. Possibly a steady sending of mana all night furnished enough earthy power to help the High Selves shape affairs to match the thought form-mold made of the desired condition. Congratulations on a fine piece of exploration Mrs. T.)
PROOF OF THE PUDDING of Huna is in the lasting quality of the healing. Here is a wonderful letter from BRA E.F, in Washington. I give it in full:
“Dear Friend:
I have been wanting to share with you my experience in healing through the Huna methods, but felt that I should wait until my doctor would admit that it was a permanent cure. Even though the cure was miraculous and impossible according to his standards, he insisted that it was probably a temporary phenomenon and that a recurrence could be expected. More than a year has passed with no recurrence, so he has now reluctantly admitted that my condition has been cured even though some aspects of the cure are impossible and Just couldn’t be, according to medical history.
Fourteen months ago I was sent to the hospital with an eye condition which started with conjunctivitis, but developed rapidly into iritis, bilateral keratitis (both of which are considered incurable) and a corneal ulcer. During the course of treatment before hospitalization, the ulcer had been cauterized twice, resulting in a very noticeable scar on the cornea. I was informed by the doctor that cauterization was absolutely essential due to the fact that the ulcer had not responded to the various treatments, that it would result in a scar which would be with me as long as I lived, so I was prepared for that.
To make a long story short, I was discharged from the hospital thoroughly discouraged as my vision had been quite badly and permanently impaired. I was told to come back for an examination and a prescription for stronger lenses after the eye had had a month or two to adjust itself. I had visions of myself wearing those thick-lensed jobs - which was bad enough - but to have my reading curtailed was the worst blow imaginable.
While recuperating at home I read. ‘Secret Science Behind. Miracles’ and felt a surge of hope that really lifted me out of ray doldrums. Needless to say, I immediately began to practice the gathering of mana, directing it to concentrate in my hands. I would then place my hands over my eyes and command the force to enter and heal.
When I returned to the eye specialist for the examination, I said nothing to him about the improvement I knew had taken place. He examined my eyes with every piece of equipment he owned, muttering occasionally that it was incredible. Then he informed me that he would have to examine my eyes under drops before he could prescribe anything. After another examination under drops he was forced to admit that something had happened that he couldn’t understand. He said there were no longer any APPARENT symptoms of the iritis or of the bilateral keratitis. More important was the complete disappearance of scar tissue. He pointed out that scar tissue has no blood supply and CANNOT be absorbed so it must be there even if it WASN’T. Best of all, after wearing glasses for seventeen years, my vision had improved to the point where I no longer needed glasses of any kind’
The doctor kept questioning me about what I thought had taken place to effect such a change. I tried to tell him, but saw that I was getting nowhere with that scientific barrier which will admit no spiritual light. He just laughed and looked at me as though I were a mental oddity but of the harmless type.
When he dismissed me, he warned me solemnly that I would undoubtedly have a recurrence within three months; that what had happened was strange but was most certainly only a temporary condition. That stirred the sixteenth. part of my blood that is Irish and I made him promise to admit it was a permanent cure providing there was no recurrence within a year. He was so sure of himself that he agreed quite readily with a , “Just you wait and see” attitude.
For physical proof to show to doubting Thomases, I have my old driver’s permit stamped boldly across its face “VOID WITHOUT THE USE OF PROPER CORRECTIVE GLASSES” and my new permit without it.
I shall be eternally grateful to you and ” SECRET SCIENCE BEHIND MIRACLES’ for this wonderful, wonderful healing.”
Our sincere appreciation, E.F. for such courage in relying on Huna in that great emergency and fighting through to complete success. We can be increasingly sure that the Huna. concept behind. “laying on hands” is the correct one, and that, given sufficient mana to work with, the Aumakuas can and will replace injured tissues in the body. This marks a milestone in our effort to restore Huna. MFL.

Huna Bulletin #11
Cigbo HRA Kitty
[Editor's note: the initial portion of this article is from Max Freedom Long's aka kitty named Cigbo. He "writes" portions of many of the HRA Bulletins. He gets blamed for most mishaps, and is quite humorous. The style and spelling errors are examples of Kahuna Max's great sense of humor. He was quite fond of cats and had many.]
July 1, 1949.
Dear Aunties & Uncles:
This is your very own CIGBO, cigar box Huna kitty, wishing you all a Gee-Lor-Ious 4th. May we all fire-cracker-walk without a blister!
Now I got to announce out, ME being the only one around the STUDY that pays attension to fienances for us HRAs. (Or that pays for stamps and pays the bills for paper and that black imbalming ink fluid for our ancient Mummygraff that came out of a pyramid, and then sailed on that Ark with HRA Mr. Noah.)
First I got to announce out that I am terrible sorry ’bout how bad the first page of this Bullington printed. Boss said, “Blame it on Cigbo,” so I’m sorry. (I don’t know what was wrong, but spect that the stenchil wasn’t properly imbalmed ’bout steen years ago when it was made. Or the papyrusus we printed it on might not have been fresh either.)
Next I got to announce out that I thank all you Aunties and Uncles that sent me stamps and money and stuff last month, NO END! Even if I didn’t get time to write to tell you so.
Nexter, I got to announce out that us HRAs are going to have a SPECIAL QUARTERLY BULLINGTON. This is only for my Aunties and Uncles that aren’t very much interested in Huna after all, and who don’t have time to read all that stuff Boss writes now twice a month (unless WE go camping or get tired, or just get tired).
And nexest, I got to announce OUT, that MY cigar box gets too empty, and MY feet too sore scratching up stamp and paper money out of it, to send bullingtons to Aunties and Uncles who don’t really want them. So I want all you Aunties and Uncles who are just a tiny bit interested (only about a dollar’s worth a year instead of a month) to drop me a line and say, “Dear Cigbo: I want to be a 1/4 HRA.” I’ll sort out the address stenchils and put the 1/4 HRAs in a special box, and every three months I’ll remind Boss to write a few pages to tell what has been tried and what has been guessed and what has been done “since you heard from us last.” How’s that? It’d be a terrible big favor to ME if you’d just let me know you hanker to be a 1/4 HRA instead of just forgetting ever to write to me and send a bit of catnip and some stamps. ‘Course, those Aunties and Uncles who haven’t got any catnip or stamps to send, can keep on spearimenting for us and sending me love, and I’ll see that they get bullingtons when I got stamps. But I got at least to have love - enough, anyway so as to have a pistol card fired at me often enough to keep me purrrrring. If I don’t hear from you and you haven’t even sent love for a long time, to say nothing of catnip, I might even forget all about you. (I betch that scares any Auntie or Uncle who thinks stamps grow on that little plumb tree outside our Study. Even plumbs won’t grow on it;)
SPECIAL announcing out for all the NEW AND SHINING Aunties and Uncles: That fire-walking booklet by Uncle Charlie can still be ordered. Just send me $1.10 for your copy and I’ll give it to Uncle BRA Thomas and he’ll print one for you.
Love and purrs and EVERYTHING, from your own

BULTETIN XII

For Huna Research Associates, From Max Freedom Long, P.O. Box 2867,
(Experimental work with Huna.) Hollywood Station, Los Angeles 28, Calif.
THE FIRE-WALKING BOOKLET, by HRA Charles W. Kenn, went to our printer, HRA Thomas, on June 25th after more copy was added and the editing done. Owing to the fact that many HRAs ordered more than one copy, at the $1.10 estimated price, we will have about $300 to spend on the edition and can have more and larger pictures. It is hoped that we can have some of the booklets bound in board covers and get them into libraries. The libraries, you know, will take nothing; not bound in this way. The work is being done at cost, and the booklet will be something to be proud of. The implications of the tests are such that they should make all readers sit up and take notice. For the first time there will be given the exact ritual and the exact prayers. This is the first really important material on fire-immunity to be given those of us who desire to understand the phenomenon rather than to try to prove that it is not valid.
THE ROUND ROBIN issue for June-July has started the fire-walking ball rolling in a splendid way by publishing, complete, the information gathered over a period of many years by Professor C.J. Ryan of the Theosophical University. In addition there is given the article on the General subject of fire-immunity with many instances, especially in psychic science, from Dr. Nandor Fodor’s famous but rare, ENCYCLOPEDIA OF PSYCHIC SCIENCE (quoted so widely in SSBM). Of course, Editor Meade Layne introduces the round-up of all that is known up to this point, and his article is inclusive and provocative. His definition of “MAGIC” something to preserve in our files for future use. Our own HRA Rev. N. Vanora Wattson has a very fine article on her experiences in connection with the recent fire-walking teats upon which Charles W. Kenn’s booklet reports.
Her account of her own fire-walk and fall on the hot stones is exciting, and she gives a good digest of the history and theory of Polynesian fire-walking in her two page account.
ROUND ROBIN should be ordered at once. This June-July copy may be had post paid for $ .50, while the supply lasts. (A year’s subscription is $3.00, and is a delight as well as a “must” for every Illuminist and student. For $5 one gets both the R R and membership in BORDERLAND SCIENCE RESEARCH Associates with its special releases covering anything new and important in the field from flying saucers to the latest and most significant news from the “other side”.) The interest in the Koch Treatment runs high, and those who are anxious to know more about this treatment (fought by the AMA) will do well to watch RR. M. C., who is also HRA, gives another of her fine articles on levels of consciousness and related forces (from the angle of her Tibetan teachers). Many other choice articles and bits.
**IT IS TIME NOW TO SEND IN YOUR $1.10 ( add $ .03 for sales tax in California) for each copy of the FIRE-WALKING BOOKLET you have ordered. (If you have not already sent in the payment.) These booklets will be sold outright at this price through ERA Thomas. A hundred dollars has already been paid in to get the type setting off to a flying start, but we need the rest to buy the cuts, paper,ink and binding, also press and labor. (Some extras are to be run off so that we can later have the board-bound copies if we wish to donate them to our libraries and perhaps do something to make the public aware of the significance of studies under the aegis of Huna Research Associates.)
RATHER STARTLING to the onlooker was the color film of the fourth fire-walking test shown and lectured by BRA Charles Kenn recently, before the Travel Film Club in Los Angeles. The Chief had performed his rite and the lines of people were crossing the “walk” of very hot stones. The stones were very uneven under their bare feet and they went along at a normal walking pace, their arms: often stretched out at the sides to keep their balance. There were smiling and animated faces on the sidelines, but those treading their way across the hot stones wore the expressions of sleep walkers - earnest, and slightly removed.. They came towards the camera, hardly eight feet apart. At the sides of the pit stood the young assistants, faces set, hands slightly extended, watching lest someone falter, and ready to leap on the hot stones to help them off if the magic chanced to fail. Suddenly a hatless young man leaped high in the middle of the walk and almost sailed past the man in front of him to get clear. Gaining safety on cool earth he danced, lifting his feet knee high. Mr. Kenn said thoughtfully, “That man you just saw get the hot-foot, was badly burned and in hospital for some days.” So far as one could see in watching the picture, there had been nothing to distract this gentleman’s attention, as had been the case with others who were burned. (Perhaps half were distracted.) The reason for some being burned, but not the majority, is not yet clear, but from our knowledge of Huna, we can guess that a complex, lack of faith, or some similar subconscious mental element caused the protection being given to be rejected. If this is the case with the firewalkers, the same should hold true in healing of body, mind or purse where others are not involved and the interplay of power is between the individual and the unseen Conscious Entity or Entities manipulating the power.
IT IS VACATION TIME for the John and Naida Anderson Huna Group. (Los Angeles members please note.) This has been a good season for this group, and many things have been tried. It has also acted as host when visiting HRAs have wished to attend and see at first hand the methods used to accumulate the surcharge of mana for direct and telepathic healing work. John and Naida have been most kind and generous in providing a meeting place. With the summer vacation period over, it is hoped that a small hall which will seat up to fifty may be found, centrally located, and with low rental. Notice will be given in the Bulletins of the date of resumption of meetings. Visitors from the East have been frequent of late weeks and have given hearty support while here.
REPORTS ON WORK WITH THE BOXES AND THE PENDULUM continue to come in and it would appear that the estimate given by the texts on the use of the pendulum are about right for us in our Huna tests - about 80% of us find we can use the bob with little trouble. The other 20% may be unable to get a movement of the pendulum, or be unable to control its movement with the mind to the point of getting the pendulum to take orders. As a part of learning to use the instrument, one needs to be able to give a mental order and cause the swing to be straight or circling. Some have followed the advice to try different lengths of string or thread on their bobs, and to experiment with holding the thread between thumb and second finger if no action comes when using the thumb and first finger. Or, the pendulum is given an initial swing to “break its inertia”, and then is allowed to change the motion to what it should be to fit the work in hand. Many HRAs are getting excellent results and ask for more information. As information is accumulated, special instructions for experimenting will be given.
MORE NOTES ON THE PENDULUM
A good condensed text in the use of the pendulum has been written and mimeographed by E. Dudley Haskell, O.A.B., C.S.S., who heads the American Society of Radiesthasia. It is called “Elementary Instructions in Radiesthesia - 1″ and sells for $1.50. (Membership seems to be open to all and dues are $5 a year, which gives a free bulletin now and. then and half price on all the instruction material.) The address is Suite 1415, 208 West 23rd St., New York 11, N.Y.
This text is filled with details of theory and practice, and has exercises to be taken by the beginner to develop skill in the use of the pendulum.
On page 7, Item 12, HRA Haskell gives information that is most interesting to a Huna student, even if written without regard to Huna. The caption is, “IMPREGNATION and REMANENCE “. I quote : “The radiations of any substance will penetrate other substances around it and tend to cause confusion. This is called impregnation. But what is more confusing and disturbing is that such radiations tend to remain, even after the original substance causing them is removed. Thus if an egg is placed on a table, it will leave its radiations on that spot and they may be detected after the egg is withdrawn. This is called remanence. It is because of this that farmers who are not trained radiesthesists have no success in determining the sex of eggs. The person handling the eggs leaves his or her radiations on the egg and each egg in turn leaves its own remanence on the table. The untrained farmer cannot tell whether he is getting the radiations of the egg or the remanence of other eggs or the remanence of the handler.”…”Some remanence may only remain a half an hour, others may remain for days, weeks, months, years. Many believe that remanence remains for centuries In making tests, one after the other, you should remove the immediate effect of remanence by passing a strong magnet over the spot or by dusting a little powdered sulfur over the spot. Your pendulum also becomes impregnated by radiations and this remanence should be removed by touching the bottom of the pendulum with your fingers - the natural magnetism of your fingers will remove it. Your hands also tend to become impregnated, and this can be removed by shaking your hands loosely sideways, as though to remove water from them, and then rubbing them briskly together.”
Radiations of the Brain by Dr. Oscar Brunler
Dr. Oscar Brunler, in a lecture given in New York in 1948 (mimeographed and made available at $1 each for two lectures by A.M.R. address above), explained that every substance gives off a typical radiation at all times, whether as a pure substance or as a part of an object or organism. In the history of the growth of the knowledge of such matters, it is pointed out that instruments of great sensitivity have been invented to measure these radiations. The Bioscope, originating in France, measures the radiation from the eyes when they look at a thing. Brain waves and radiations are measured and each organ of the body can be tested to see if its radiation is up to par.
In his article on Radiations of the Brain, he writes, “Besides measuring the radiation of the brain directly from the head, we can measure it from a person’s signature, from his handwriting, from his paintings or drawings. The eyes which are watching the letters as they are written down radiate a force on to the paper or on to the canvas on which we paint. We can measure the radiation from the handwriting and check it up with the writer’s brain radiation, and we find that both are identical I found that common salt - the great solvent in nature - absorbs rapidly the radiation from letters, manuscripts, oil paintings, etc. By placing salt on paintings or manuscripts we can measure the altered radiation of the salt. In this way it is possible to measure even after centuries the brain radiations of people as their radiation adheres to paintings and writings for centuries. The paintings of Leonardo da Vinci - the greatest all around genius the world has known - and the manuscripts of this great man give the identical wave-length and his is the highest radiation I have discovered so far, namely 725 degrees Biometric which corresponds to a wave-length shorter than the shortest invisible ultra-violet rays. After more than seven hundred tests we can maintain that the wave-length of a living individual’s brain and that taken from a manuscript or letter written by him is the same today or in a hundred years time. We are, therefore, in a position to assess the mental powers and the mind of people even after their death.”
Going back to Mr. Haskell’s writing (page 2, Item 3), we read, ‘Our body and nervous system is like a radio; it picks up and amplifies radiations -some say 50,000 times ` and the pendulum is merely the ear-phone or loud-speaker which gives us the results … the movements of the pendulum can never mean anything without a pre-arranged mental convention or agreement concerning these movements.”
One of the apparent difficulties confronting us in our approach to radiesthesia via the pendulum, is to be found in the obvious fact that the pendulum does NOT behave as any other measuring machine with which we are familiar.
We incline to argue that if everything sends off a radiation, and that the body picks up and amplifies these through the pendulum action, then each of the endless changes of radiation, as from eyes to liver to brain, should have its particular and appropriate movement through the pendulum.
We argue that these radiations, on the contrary, cannot be registering directly through the pendulum in a purely mechanical way. In addition to the supposed amplification, the element of consciousness must enter in at the point at which the “conventions” are agreed upon, and a movement of the pendulum arbitrarily assigned to the specific radiation from a certain source.
This ingredient of CONSCIOUSNESS is given, as a rule, as the subconscious. In addition, some, like Dr. Brunler, find the need of a super-conscious to account for all the amazing things that can be done with the pendulum.
If we stop arguing at this point, we have a radiating energy which is picked up by the subconscious through the body, then amplified and reported by way of agreed-upon movements of the pendulum. This would answer fairly well, but then we come to the strange matters of IMPREGNATION by this radiation, so that even the surroundings of a tested object are tinctured for a considerable time, and to REMANENCE (if there is a real difference), which may make a signature or a painting retain its “impregnation” for centuries.
To explain this additional peculiarity, we are practically forced to admit that the radiation of an object, such as the egg or the person testing it for sex, or the table holding the egg (to say nothing of pendulum and the hand that holds it), deposits an invisible and intangible SUBSTANCE on the things it TOUCHES, and that this substance, in its turn, continues almost indefinitely to radiate the same type of wave-length or the same form of energy.
All of this brings us back to Huna. (We must remember that our organization has for its purpose the investigation of the ancient system of the kahunas, and that when we touch on the pendulum and its actions we do so in the hope of getting more information concerning Huna - proofs or disproofs.) So far as I can find, in my hurried study of the scant materials before me covering the use of the pendulum, no one has seen clearly the necessity of demanding a SUBSTANCE as an ingredient in the theories covering radiesthesia. It may be, of course, that the etheric double has been pressed into service by some student seeking an
invisible substance with strange and enduring characteristics, and one that would, with accompanying radiations impregnate and give remanence.
The aka or “shadowy body” of Huna, as may be expected., fills the need for this substance better than anything as yet proposed. Let us check the main characteristics assigned to this invisible, STICKY (pili, root in the word for the subconscious, aunihipili which refers to the aka body as being sticky, not,
of course to the consciousness that IS the Aunihipili, inner self or subconscious,) and greatly enduring substance of which the shadowy body or etheric double of all material things is composed.
The aka substance, if we understand the Huna lore correctly, was peculiar in the fact that it did not stand out alone as an isolated substance. It was always found combined with mana or the “life force”, and with some form of consciousness. No mana, no aka. No consciousness, neither aka nor mana.
If we grasp clearly this significant concept, we see at once that it explains the fact that the user of the pendulum must come to some “convention” and agree with his subconscious, as the instrument of pendulum movement and the registration of radiations. We can say that the subconscious self has for a part of its abilities (together with remembering and the use of telepathy) the faculty of picking up the one set of desired radiations when tests are made. It would seem that, as the atmosphere around us is filled with radiations from every object in sight or even at a distance,this would be an impossible task. However, the fact remains that it is expertly done by the Aunihipili.
We may well ask why, if such skill is present, the Aunihipili cannot sort out the needed radiations and avoid the radiations left by the egg formerly placed on a given spot on a table. This is really the most baffling problem of the lot. But, when we draw on Huna and recall the theory that the aka substance is very sticky, and that some of it sticks to anything touched by it as it surrounds an egg or other object (as an etheric double or “astral body”) we begin to see light.
The egg just tested, upon being taken from the table, leaves some of its aka substance sticking to the table and to surrounding objects, even pendulum and hands. Because a fine and invisible thread of the aka substance is spun out to make a fairly permanent contact between the egg and the things it has touched, and because this contains mana and consciousness or a connection with the consciousness of the egg (all things have their form of consciousness in Huna), we see that the radiation peculiar to the egg remains as a remanence which sends out the same wave-length.
This idea of stickiness on the part of aka bodies, and of its ability to withstand being stretched out in a thread almost indefinitely, makes one wonder why the aka substance is not all used up in a very short time. We, as individuals constantly touching things with hands and sight and hearing and smelling, would seem to need a constant replenishment of our aka bodies. And it is reasonable to believe that this replenishment comes in some such manner as the replenishment of expended substances in our physical bodies, or of our vital force (mana).
Given a self-replenishing, sticky, invisible aka substance which is a perfect conductor of certain energies, especially mana, and perhaps radiations in general, we have the missing link of pendology, provided, of course, that we do not forget that there is always mana or life force present in aka substance, and that these as a pair in combination, serve constantly as a vehicle of consciousness. In Huna, consciousness is enduring to a great degree, if not permanently, and on the other side of life as well as on this. Thus, a thread of aka, substance, activated by mana, would connect the painting to the dead painter even after a century, and allow a measure of his mind to be taken.
The use of a strong magnet or a dusting with sulphur to clear away the impregnation or remanent, needs to be studied in relation to the aka substance theory. Kilner and others; in making studies of the etheric double or human aura, have found that magnetism and electricity have definite effects on the aura and cause it to retreat into the body as magnets or charged objects are brought near. Ectoplasmic rods sent out by the medium to cause tables to lift, in Dr. Crawford’s tests, were repelled by having the hand brought near them, (the hand bearing its normal charge of energy, it is to be supposed), but were not repelled by a glass rod, the latter being an insulator for electromagnetic waves as well as for the lately discovered di-electric balancing or negative waves.
We may guess that the magnet or even a hand, might clear away the remanent. While we know that the body reacts in various wags to the radiations sent out by different substances, I have found no statement as to why sulphur should drive away the remanent, while salt collects it and makes it appear to accumulate so that it will give a more powerful radiation to the pendulum.
The touching of an impregnated pendulum to clear it suggests that the charge of the body is such, normally, that it will. drive away the aura of aka substance or stop it from radiating. This is Just a guess, of course. On the other hand, the mental element may enter the action when, with intent to clear the remnant, we use magnet or sulphur. When, to clear the hands of the impregnations, we shake them loosely at our sides, then rub them briskly together, as Mr. Haskell instructs, we have a definite mental action turned against the impregnation, and probably the use of the mana in the body of the operator as well.
This brings up the question whether the aka thread can be broken or made inactive by mechanical or mental means. In our Huna sources we find nothing to give us a definite answer, but in radiesthesia we seem to find definite indications that something of the kind can be accomplished. In India there is to be found the idea that a “silver cord” connects the dead body with the departed spirit of a man and that fire will break it. Burning certainly changes the composition of most materials, and. one would naturally expect to find a change made in the moorings of any cord made up of aka threads.
These are speculative materials which we work with, but while their importance may not be clear immediately, we may later arrive at better understanding. It is interesting to see that Huna, as we now understand it, seems always to fit neatly with late discoveries, and, what is more, often serves to throw new light on problems.
Perhaps some of the HRAs who are old hands at the use of the pendulum will consider these random ideas and add to or correct them. They may also try out some experiments for us. One good experiment would be to see what effect the magnet or sulphur or the mental command, might have in cutting a written signature off from its owner so that it would no longer give the typical reaction of the owner. This experiment might possibly help us to discover a way to cut off the aka thread contact between an obsessed person and the obsessing entity, provided the entity could be dislodged from the body by some method, and provided it did riot have the ability or intelligence to find its way back to the victim, In this connection we may do well to recall the use of fire, of the wand of feathers, and of mental action to cure the young Indian soldiers who came back from the wars bedeviled by nightmares said to have been forced on them by the spirits of those they had killed in battle. (See the report in a recent Bulletin on the article in DESERT MAGAZINE by John Hilton.)
Keep up practice with the boxes and, the pendulum. Their importance as helps in the use of, and understanding of, Huna, is very important. MFL
MESSAGE TO THE HRAs of the TELEPATHIC MUTUAL HEALING GROUP
Everything points to the fact that we are on the right track in our work, needing only more -practice, more skill, and, eventually, trained workers to help find and remove fixations.
Better and better results are being reported in the healing of body, mind and circumstances. I am convinced that by joining our mana through our braided cord of aka threads which meet here at the center, we are able to multiply our power and effectiveness. For those who are ill and who lack a proper supply of mana, it is especially important to have this mutual help by telepathic union.
I realize that it is difficult for some of us to work alone, day by day, if unable to sense the contact - the tingle of it, or pick up the telepathic images I send out twice daily. I wish that I could find something to say that would be greatly encouraging, and that would bolster faith. I wish I could offer an antidote for the habit of mind that causes one to slip back into old mental attitudes and loose the inspiration found at first contact with this Huna method of group prayer.
Perhaps the mention of the words used by the kahunas might help to bring faith and understanding. Look again at the word mana. This means the vital force of the subconscious or inner self. We accumulate an extra supply of this force by commanding the inner self to do so and by breathing more deeply.
The next step is mana`o, which means to “think”. This shows us that we must use our mana to create a thought picture of what we desire. But just to think about it is not enough. The kahunas built root on root into the basic word mana in describing the process of successful prayer. From mana`o we go on to the next step, mana`o`ia, which means “a thought” plus “to make real”. It also means, “faith, full confidence, or complete belief.”
This is the end step in which the mana and the thought-form or picture of the desired condition are made REAL by the Aumakua or by several na Aumakua working as one. This REALITY, this REALIZED STATE, is as real as tomorrow is real, or as next year. It is an invisible reality, just as tomorrow’s sunrise, but the details of the day ahead may yet be changed before the day arrives.
If we rise and break the shackles of fear and doubt, we can come first to understand, and then to KNOW that with our prayer actions and with the help of the Po`e Aumakua, we have actually created a condition as real as tomorrow or next year. And, when we come to KNOW this, we will happily and expectantly return to the daily or hourly task of sending mana to water the seed we have planted with the Aumakua.
In this work we become full partners with our na Aumakua. We do a full half of the work. If we do less, the work is not done. This is very hard to grasp after so many years in which we have said a prayer and considered our part done. Now we must understand that in order to work, a prayer must be made in the ancient and secret way, with sacrifice (the giving of mana) and with the steady thought-building that provides the mold into which the answer to the prayers is cast or made REAL in the future so that it can arrive with some new day as a “WORD MADE SUBSTANCE”. The “word” which embodies the thought-picture, comes first. We read, “In the beginning was the word,” and we begin to understand the process of creation that covers all things great and small.
Mana is the wai`ola or “water of life”, in which water is the symbol of mana. Behind the idea of world saviors giving their lives to save the world, is hidden the most important and closely guarded secret of the kahunas. We sacrifice life itself -share our life-waters with the Po`e Aumakua in each Huna prayer ritual. Life is our greatest possession. He who gives his life in this way, saves himself. At the same time he may be helping to save the world. MFL
THE TELEPATHIC MUTUAL HEALING GROUP
THE TELEPATHIC MUTUAL HEALING GROUP work continues to grow and to get results ranging from small to large and from slow to almost instant. Few get no help at all. Circumstances involving the lives of several people take longer on the average to correct. In the past few months this work has been joined by some of the most experienced and able mental-spiritual healers in the country, and almost every mail brings news that calls for a joyous rendering of thanks to the Po`e Aumakua for loving help. I hope to have permission by next Bulletin time to pass on to you the experience of one of us - a real miracle of healing with checks run by a physician, and a year allowed to pass to make certain that there would not be a relapse. (So much of the healing done by the Christian churches these days is subject to quick relapse. Huna promises more enduring healing.) MFL
GET YOUR TMHG TIME SCHEDULE RIGHT
Seven o’clock, Pacific Standard time, corresponds to:
-
8 o’clock Mountain Time,
-
9 o’clock Central Time,
-
10 o’clock Eastern time.
During the months when any section of the country is on Daylight Saving Time, a time adjustment has to be made. For instance, if California is on Pacific Coast Standard Time (as it will be all of 1949) and New York is on Daylight Saving Time, then 3 P.M. in California (for the afternoon TMHG period) will be 7 P.M., and 7 P.M. be 11 P.M. in New York.
Clock time, during the months when in some states there is Daylight Saving Time, is one hour later than the Standard Time of that section.
A telephone “Information” call will tell you what time band you live in, if you do not know.
NOTE: Many HRA’s who cannot work on the regular hours work alone on the even hour, sending their surcharge of mana through the braided cord (I do not have to be working here at the center at the time - anyone of us can activate the braided cord of aka threads by sending mana into it from a distance by telepathic means. ) Send the mana for two minutes, then make your picture of the desired condition and present it with a further flow of mana to carry the thought forms to the Po`e Aumakua. Always picture world peace as the background of your own desired conditions. In making a prayer-action in this way to include others, we make ourselves one of the larger family and are entitled to will ask help from all the Po`e Aumakua of all the others in the family.
Open your heart to the world. Grow a little each day in kindliness and wisdom. Expand.
