Max’s Vacation Reading

Feb. 15, 1953

MY VACATION actually came and, thanks to all of you allowing me to skip a Bulletin issue. I had a grand period of rest, with time to enjoy the Arizona desert places, to meditate some, to pray and hold the TMHG periods, and to catch up with the reading of accumulated articles and books, many of which had been sent in through the kindness of one HRA or another. I also was able to get hold of a copy of the massive Strong’s Concordance of the Bible, and to do some checking in it to further verify the Huna-in-Bible finds and add to them in various ways, as well as to note down many things to be looked into later when time allows.

THE HIDDEN BIBLE, by William Leary, was one of the books which I examined with much curiosity, having had three ad letters about it from Merit Publications, and having wondered whether or not Mr. Leary had stumbled upon the Huna hidden in the Bible. It turned out to be another of the very many books in which a writer assures the reader that certain things in the Bible do not mean what they seem to mean, but something entirely different. None of these writers, so far as I have observed, have given proof that the new meanings attributed to words and phrases are valid. Moreover, none of the writers agree with their fellow writers as to these meanings which they claim were hidden in the Bible by unidentified writers of early centuries.

Mr. Leary makes as good a case, however, as most, and, if one is willing to accept his dictum that wild animals (for example) when mentioned in the Bible really mean the faults we possess without knowing it, and which are lodged in the subconscious. Or that the good earth stands for materiality as contrasted with spirituality, the word for which is that of white. Sheep for thoughts, birds for intuition, and so on and so forth. To my surprise I noted that he came very near to Huna symbols and concepts in some of his ideas of what stands secretly for which. He decided that when rivers were mentioned, they stood for spiritual currents which are not usually flowing through the body, but which may be caused to flow. In Huna the symbol used for any of the three mana voltages is water, and a river might well signify one form of mana flow. It is interesting to note what words were used for “river” by kahunas.

Awa wai or a ditch or valley filled with water is “river” in the Hawaiian, and awa can mean “mist” or fine “rain,” one form of the water-mana symbol, usually pointing to the mana used by the Aumakua. But in translating the Bible, where rivers are not too often mentioned, the word mu`li`wai is generally used. In Revelations 22-1, it is used in the verse, “And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal (akaka) proceeding out of the throne of God (nohoalii is ‘throne’ and literally means ‘the dwelling place of the High Chief,’ a good symbol for the Aumakua who was the Akua noho, or ‘god who dwells with men’ ) and the Lamb.” In the Hawaiian dictionary, its author explains in a special note that a muliwai is, properly, the mouth of a river where it reaches the sea, and where there is the usual deposit or bar of sand behind which the river water backs up and is prevented direct access to the sea. The water held back by the bar is mull, or “what is held back.” This hints at a hidden meaning in which a mana flow is “held back,” and this reminds us at once of the complex or the “eating companion” spirits which prevent the Aunihipili from contacting the Aumakua and sending to it the offering of mana to empower it to bring about the conditions which the Auhane desire and which it prays for. Looking again at mu`li, we find the first root, mu, is the often-met symbol of the complex-blocked flow of mana – it means to retain a mouth full of water so that speaking is impossible, or so the prayer cannot be put into words. The symbol of squirting water upward from the mouth is a familiar symbol of sending mana upward along the aka cord to the Aumakua, and the mu root indicates that the “back water” is mana being withheld by the Aunihipili. The second root, li, gives the symbol of the result of this holding back of the mana flow because of the presence of a hindering complex or sense of guilt. Li means to tremble, as with fear, to shrink back because of dread – in this case it is the Aunihipili which dreads the Aumakua and shrinks from making the contact. And so, while we do not agree with author Leary on most of his proposed “hidden” meanings, we can and do profit by being set to thinking of things which have been overlooked thus far in our study of Huna-in Bible – our study of meanings for which we can give the authority of kahunas and their age old and highly evolved system of psychology and religion.

REVELATION TO MANKIND, by the Reverend Freda Jessie Vernon, on the other hand, is a delightful book of verse given through her by her spirit friends, and any and all can agree with and enjoy the things set down. On page 88 one can even guess the inner promise that the complexes will be among the things God will take away in order to free man. I quote:

“Clear thy mind of all the doubts.
Know in faith He shall free and rout all wrongs
That have thee so down.
Thou mayst be strong and thou mayst be sound.
Put trust in Him, for he will free
All that now is wrong with thee.”

The address from which to order the book is 1525 Encinal Ave., Alameda, Calif. 127 pages. $2.76 post paid. The desired autograph will be gladly given if requested – and in ordering, you may make a delightful friend.

SENSATION AND TENSION PROCESSING (Price $2) is a late release by The Eidetics Foundation, 252 Mershon St. Fairhope, Alabama. For the serious student of the many new “techniques” which are rapidly being invented and offered in the expanding field of what was once DIANETICS, this is something that will be of much interest. From the same source may be had the clearest explanation of what is done, and how, in applying the latest of L.Ron Hubbard’s “techniques” – it is JACK HORNER SPEAKS ($2), and it is a description of the new methods in terms which may be rather fully understood by one who has not yet absorbed the new and hindering vocabulary  In this release Jack tells us that the auditor tells his pre-clear to leave the body and stand two feet behind it, then to look inside his physical head, and if he sees spots which are gray or black, to use his mental power to cause them to turn white. This causes the “tone” to rise and seems to take the place of the older method in which complexes were found and drained off – pardon me, I mean engrains relieved of their charge. How much imagination is involved and how much actual astral travel to get outside the body, I cannot determine.

Recently I talked with a gentleman who has been using this technique, and I believe he believes there is an actual, not just imaginary, leaving of the body on the part of the entity called the “theta” – a unit of consciousness whose companion in the flesh is the “genetic entity.” (In Eidetics, a letter which has just arrived, has corrected my statement that Eidetics proposed a single unit of consciousness, leaving no room for the subconscious or anything similar to it. The letter says in part: “The previous statement… that there is no such thing as the subconscious mind is still correct – as far as the usually accepted definition is concerned. But, within each of us there IS something which ACTS as THOUGH it were the subconscious mind. This is the body! This is the Aunihipili; this is the animal portion of the human entity. This is why the subconscious mind could not be found when we began to discover the extent to which one’s internal communication systems went. When one opens up his internal awareness and becomes aware of the universe inside him by REMOVING the effects of his past actions, he literally is removing the subconscious mind, and so, when he reaches a point where his entire body is open to his inspection – all the organs and tissues down to the cellular level – he cannot find anything which even resembles a subconscious mind There are levels beyond this, but we need not go into them here The Aunihipili is the bottom rung of the ladder of awareness. Above this is the conscious mind, or, we may say that it is like a cloak that we wear to exist in the world of today. If we were in a different time socially, we would be wearing a different cloak in order to be properly and appropriately fitted in. Our actions are designed to be appropriate so that we can survive at the highest accepted level. But note this: we designed these activities ourselves through the various things that we agree to earlier in life. And, this being so, WE CAN CHANGE THEM.”)

AN “E-THERAPY” group release in the form of a 16 page little pamphlet done  neatly by offset from typed originals, has come in from the Institute of Integration, 201 Clayton St ,San Francisco, Calif. It contains short articles and reproduction of letters from the pens of Mr. A.L. Kitselman and others. One article gives a new “technique “for active self-experiencing.”

FATE MAGAZINE, dated March, 1953, now on the news stands, contains a good article, “HAWAIIANS AND THE BIBLE” by Catherine Christopher, which tells of the close similarity between the legends of the Polynesians and their beliefs and practices, and those mentioned in the Old Testament. The material is familiar to those who know the Islands and especially to those who know the findings given in the writings of the late Judge Fornander. (It is evident that the Polynesians left the Bible lands some long time before the birth of Jesus, as there is nothing of his personal history to be found in the old legends, although the Messiah, as the article points out, was also expected to come eventually by the Polynesians as well as the Hebrews.)

RADIESTHETIC ANALYSIS is a well-done 40-page mimeo booklet  by HRA Major C.L. Cooper-Hunt, M.A.(Cantab), Ps.D., Ms.D, D.D., Ph.D., M.S.F. (50¢ will get a copy from the author, 3 Wayside Road, Southbourne, Bournemouth, England). It gives much information on the theory and use of the pendulum in the diagnosis of disease, and in the selecting of proper medicines for treating conditions once they are ascertained – mostly homeopathic remedies. For those interested in this work, either with the plain pendulum, or with charts, or with the use of the “radionics” type of instrument, this little book will be valuable. By the way, we are gradually getting to include in our list of HRAs or of interested friends, some of the most famous people in this part of the field, here or abroad. Dr. Bidwell, perhaps our best known pendulum diagnostician in this country, called on me recently and told me of his conclusions. His remedies cover a very wide scope, and in some cases he seems to duplicate the European methods while in others he has evolved methods of his own. A forty-day fast, he tells me, has been one of the best remedies for cancer. He lives in South Carolina and is presently in California on vacation – may remain here. Mrs. Swanholm, psychic in her own right and wife of one of Dr. Brunler’s most advanced students, told me that Mr. Swanholm has isolated and classified 38 different types of pendulum motion in taking the “personality pattern” on the Brunler-Bovis Biometer. It is to be hoped that this set of findings will be made available to the public in due time. I also learned that HRA Dr. Grace Brunler has been busy teaching and lecturing as well as giving Biometric instruction to her special classes. She plans to move down from the home on the side of the Hollywood Hills to a place more easily reached by her friends and those who wish to go to her for instruction or Biometric assistance.

FREDERICK MARION, author of IN MY MIND’S EYE, (Dutton & Co.), was found for us recently by one of our HRAs and I was introduced by letter – a very happy event for me. It will be remembered that in the Bulletin some time back I mentioned Mr. Marion and his book, and told of the fact that Dr. Brunler had been greatly impressed by (l) the book, (2) the surprisingly high level of the psychometric and other psychic abilities of Mr. Marion, and, (3) by the fact that he had a reading of 550 degrees Biometric – so very high that it placed his psychic gifts in the third or highest level.

I am delighted to learn that Mr. Marion has consented to teach others how to develop their psychic faculties, and it is exciting to learn from him that he finds that almost anyone can be developed even if thought to have no psychic ability, naturally, at all.

A complete series of instruction units has been printed to be placed in the hands of students (as most of them live away from New York), and personal instruction by letter to fit the needs of each individual, complete the instruction. The course has been broken down into ten lessons, each with its assigned exercises and each with a short set of questions to be answered to aid in sending personal instruction by letter.

The HRA who made the contact for us has been taking the course and has been, he writes, surprised to find that he, who was supposed to be too logical and mathematical to be psychic, suddenly found himself tricked into forgetting his inhibitions and suddenly able to demonstrate psychometric. He has been running special scientific tests with Mr. Marion doing the psychometrizing, and from fossils and other similar objects they have been getting some rather amazing pictures of prehistoric times and conditions.

The aim of the course is higher than the ordinary use of the developed psychic forces and the goal is the development of a true intuitive contact with the level of consciousness which we call that of Aumakuas and which Mr. Marion calls “Universal Mind.” When the ability is developed to make this contact, one moves from the level of knowledge to that of wisdom – or true knowing – so that life is guided into the good paths continuously.

While Mr. Marion has only now learned of Huna, the things he came to know and teach are parallel with Huna in almost all items except that he goes on further, explaining some things in terms of the yoga beliefs or in terms of other systems developed in India. You all know how caustic I have been about “courses” in my mention of them in the Bulletins. Well, here at last is a course of written and personal instruction which is offered by someone of very high Biometric reading, and, what is all important, knows whereof he speaks because he can do the things he proposes to teach others to do. It is a far cry from instruction on this level down to the commercialized mixtures of current “occultism” which are so much offered.

Mr. Marion writes in his prospectus for the course of instructions, “This course is not merely a statement of my conclusions. It is far more. It shows the road by which any intelligent human being can develop to a point of understanding that which words cannot tell, but which the true mind, the super conscious, can grasp and comprehend.”

Owing to the personal instruction by letters, only a limited number of students can be taken on at a time. For those who wish to take advantage of this opportunity to study under Mr. Marion, it is advisable that they get their names on the list as soon as possible. The cost of the course of instructions is $75. Arrangements can be made to pay this in three parts I understand, and there is no time limit set on the completion of the training, although a regular period of study and practice each day on the part of the student is quite necessary. The address is, Frederick Marion, 34 East 68th St., New York 21, N.Y. As an HRA you may be favored. He knows that we have an exceptional background in Huna for the understanding of what he, of necessity, must make his students understand.

THE TELEPATHIC MUTUAL HEALING GROUP WORK continues steadily, seven days a week, same way as always, same times, 3 and 7 Standard time in California, adjusted for your time zone to match. I mention this because so many ask if there has been any. The only recent change is that I no longer keep individuals on the prayer list except by special request if they do not show enough interest to report in once a month – which I think is better because it gives more time to concentrate on those actively working with the group. Formerly time had to be extended to cover many who, it later turned out, had for weeks or months forgotten all about the work. The WALL OF PROTECTION still holds. Not one fighting man reported hurt as yet, but many report coming safely through very bad situations. Aumakuas are very kind, and, I judge, very powerful in giving protection if we send them a daily mana supply with our pictured prayers so they can act on the dense levels.

YIPPY BRITHDAY TO US HRAs !!!!!

Wall, Podners, here I am, back from Arizona, filled to the eyes with finest cow punch, desert airs and views – – and a little bit full of desert Cactus spines from bringing home a cactus to desecrate our firths HRA birthday cake with, please see above.

For MY birthday, present to you this year all I could think of was a nice new red INDEX of the bullingtons for 1952, and a free course on how to be a cowpoke like ME.

LESS IN ONE
Provide yourself with the proper equipment. A five gallon hat a saddle; a spur (put tin can on top and makes fine wheelbarrow);a lariat to rope things with; a cow; a horse ( saw horse easiest to rope and to ride. Other kind bucks you off, takes a kick at you and maybe bites you,); and last and most important, a branding iron to hot up and stamp your bran on everything (except any snake that shakes its tail at you and goes “BUZZ” – they don’t belong to our church.) Please note that I all ready have got this bran so all you preclear cowpokes get your selves some different kind.
Following seem to be open: @ # $ % & *

LESS IN TWO etc. to LESS IN ONE HUNNERT:
These will follow later after you get your bran registered and have passed a examination to show you can tell a cow from a bullington or can roll your own with only three paws (very hard). Also after I have learned more so I can rite the rest of the coarse – but keep sending in next installment on coarse regular or, I tell you Podner, we’ll never get the mortgagee lifted on the home ranch and the fences around the south pasture mended.If you can’t afford to start the coarse and get a outfit, send in installments just the same and when you have sent all you can, maybe I will give you a sir-stuffy-cat to state you are a cowpoke by proxy and such as that. Oh yes, about that can to use to make a wheel borrow out of your spur – fill it full of water. You got to have a can-teen on the desert. All the cows, even, who forget this part of equipment, go dry. Anyway, yippee birthday to all of US, and love from CIGBO, yor podner of the bar-c outfit.
