The HRA Has Refused to Die!

April 1, 1954

CORRECTION PLEASE! It is with the greatest pleasure that I hasten to correct my statement made in the last  Quarterly Bulletin to the effect that our favorite prophet, HRA Mary Falvey, had foreseen that the Russians would drop a bomb north of us on the Canadian border in 1954. Mary wrote at once upon receiving the Bulletin to say that the bomb which she had foreseen in trance to be unlike the atom bomb, was the first Russian test H bomb, and that it was dropped north of us, right enough, but so far north as to be across the Pole and in the wastes of northern Siberia. Also, it was to be in 1953, not 1954, and so has already taken place.

I draw a long sigh of relief, and Cigbo, our old and pampered HRA Cigar Box “kitty” – who always has taken the blame for everything because he has not known any better – meows his best apologies and begins to relax. Mary says, “No really big depression this year,” and that is a comfort.

GREAT NEWS FROM THE SCIENTOLOGY-DIANETICS FRONT was announced in a late February issue of the SCIENTOLOGY journal sent out from Phoenix, Arizona. In an article by Tom Esterbrook, B. Son, entitled “The Granting of Beingness,” it is divulged that in recent experiments carried on by L. Ron Hubbard, it was found possible to transfer the “energy of life” (mana, to us) from one person to another “just by thinking at them.” Hands were not laid on the subjects. The projection of energy was made by an effort of mind to build up an extra charge in some part of the subject’s body.

THE MATHISON ELECTROPSYCHOMETER, which is said to be an elaboration on the Lie Detector, was used to test the parts of the body of the subject after the charges had been projected, and it was found that the normal charge for any given part could be greatly strengthened. Mr. Mathison ran checks later, and got the same results.

This augmented charge, given a subject was found to be of value in healing. L. Ron seems to call it a “Q factor.” It is said not to be sent out as a “beam,” but “is materialized at distant points.”

This set of findings checks nicely with Huna. Kahunas have been projecting mana over aka threads or cords from themselves to others, and to spirits and to Aumakuas for the past 5,000 years. “Beaming” is not the mechanism, but the flow is sent over  an already established connection made by attaching an aka thread of invisible “shadowy body stuff.” The energy flows along the aka thread rather than materializing at the point upon which the operator concentrates. It will be interesting to see what use is made by Scientologists of this “new discovery.”  As Scientology has now been made a religion, L. Ron may, given time, “discover” the rest of Huna, even the Aumakua.

As a matter of fact, the “thetan” recently offered by L. Ron as the soul or spirit of man, does rather well to fill the shoes of our Huna Auhane. Both are spirits who survive physical death and who reincarnate, although the “thetan” seems to reincarnate through some 72 or more trillion years and on perhaps many planets, while the Auhane was thought by kahunas to learn life lessons in just a few incarnations, starting as a Aunihipili, graduating into the Auhane stage, and in due time going on into the Aumakua level. Scientology has also given us a substitute for the Aunihipili. It is still not too well defined in terms of Huna concepts, but it is a step in the right direction and fills a large gap in this growing new system. The next logical step is to add something above the “thetan” to take the place of the super conscious or our Aumakua in Huna. It might not be too much to expect an ultimate Ku`Kane`Kahi or Divine Triune Absolute to be added, thus qualifying Scientology as a full-fledged religion in the complete sense of the word.

MORE ABOUT THE MATHISON INSTRUMENT has just been learned as this stencil is being cut. In the “FLASH,” a mimeo sheet put out by the Hubbard Diabetic Service Center, 2663 E Foothill Blvd, Pasadena 8, Calif, the editor tells us of the new instrument: “The probe needle is the new feature which is most amazing. With this, one locates the ‘dead’ or anesthetic areas of the body. When on the live areas, the needle beeps; on the dead areas there is no sound. LRH demonstrated how a pre-clear can push his awareness into such an area to make the needle turn on; more impressive still, how the ‘operating the tan’ can turn on this awareness for another person even though that other may be as far away from him as across the room. This has been done, and demonstrated on the meter half way across the country, but this I did not see. This is the first mechanical and objective demonstration we have had in Dianetics of the creation of force by the mind.”

Our thanks to “Ikey” Stone for this first-hand report (She will take orders for the new instrument if any HRA wishes one. The price is given as $400.)

THE BABYLONIAN PRAYER BOWL healing of one of the first HRAs in Australia, HRA Olive Stevens Sutton, was said, in the new book, SECRET SCIENCE AT WORK, not to have lasted. I am more than pleased to have a letter from “down under” to set me right. Her healing, I am told, was blessedly permanent. It was the healing by the bowl (used in an invocation) of Mr. Sutton’s asthma which was not permanent. The Suttons have made some very fine demonstrations in their own lives and affairs of the workability of Huna. Mrs. Sutton gives a brief account of her own healing. I quote.

“I took the bowl (in her hands), got the idea, and made a most earnest prayer request to the Spirit behind the bowl, NOT to the spirit of the ancient priest who had made the bowl (in ancient times), but directly to the Parental Spirit (Aumakua) that the priest must have invoked when he prayed. In short, to the Aumakua spirit behind the bowl. And I remember thinking at the time, with some humor, how surprised He would be to get such a request from one in the modern world, after so many centuries of silence. The healing was instant and complete and nothing was felt. The pain stopped and never returned.” (She went on to say that she feels that her husband, Basil, did not pray earnestly enough for his asthma to be completely and permanently healed.)

THE ONLY HIEROGLYPH ON THE GREAT PYRAMID in Egypt is to be found outside the place called the King’s Chamber, writes HRA John Cooke, who is now finishing his third year in that part of the world and in North Africa making a careful study at first hand of any and every kind of evidence which might connect kahunas of Polynesia with that part of the world. “This (he explains,) is the hieroglyph standing for Ti or Tahuti, scribe of the gods, the personification of the moon, and the energy of what is called the Seventh Ray, he who invented words, the alphabet, the Book of the Taro Toth, Hermes Trismagistus – and may be the key.” He gives a rough drawing of the hieroglyph, saying, “He holds the palm tree, the top of which bends over to end in the familiar judgments scales balancing the bowl or heart against the feather symbolizing truth. (I will try for a rough reproduction of his drawing here.)

 

This stands for “Ti,” John says.

 

 

“And this is the hieroglyph for Ti or Tahuti.
As far as I can tell, this is the answer to all our questions.
It’s there before us.”

 

 

While I am not sure just what John has in mind, it is most interesting to consider the symbols used in this signature and their possible significance to our Huna research.

The palm tree is a phallic symbol of sex or creative force. The scales show that an exact balance is required between the elements represented by the heart and the feather. The heart has been the symbol of the emotions, and the feather of abstract truth may well symbolize in this case the unemotional thinking and true reasoning of the Auhane or conscious mind self. (Huna tells us that all emotions come from the Aunihipili or subconscious.)

If the Aunihipili is harboring complexes or has spirit “eating companions” driving it to certain ends, the emotions will be out of control when these unwanted elements are triggered into action. Emotions which are out of the control of the reason of the man are the typical symptoms of an out-of-balance or complexed state.

We have discovered that the cross is also the symbol of the complex and obsessing spirit trouble, If these blockings in the path to the Aumakua are not removed, we are made to suffer on the cross day by day. (Jesus is reported to have said, “Take up your cross daily, and follow me.”)

Dr. Freud, who rediscovered the complex in modern times, found that a very large part of the patients whom he treated suffered because their balanced reaction to sex in their lives had been badly distorted.

In the fact that the phallic palm supports the perfectly balanced scales in the hieroglyph, suggests that sex force has some special power to cause the complexes to vanish and the evil spirits to go. This leads us directly to attraction between the sexes and to love as it is expressed on the levels of the Aunihipili, Auhane and Aumakua. Love has been pointed out in cryptic fashion in all great religions as the greatest of all good and important things. Behind all phallic symbology and so-called “worship” lies the Huna secret that love or attraction, on all levels, is the great force that causes creation.

On the Aunihipili level, the creation is that of children. On the level of the Auhane it is the creation of ideas which in turn may be the patterns for anything from a house to an atom bomb. The level of Aumakuas is supposed to be stimulated to create in the behalf of the one furnishing the love-mana and prayer picturing thought-forms. The exact mechanism of the creative actions on the Aumakua level has been the cause of endless speculation. The best information on kahunas suggests that either the Father or the Mother half of the Aumakua “Utterly Trustworthy Parental Pair” can create answers to our prayers unaided, but that when a miracle is needed, with swift and complete action to do away with old conditions and produce the new, the Pair must be drawn together in some way by the love and mana sent to them by the lower pair, and engage in a mutual creative effort which results in changes on all three levels, that of the material, that of the idea-thought-form Auhane level, and that of the Aumakua level of perfect patterns.

Miraculous and instant healing at Lourdes come far more often to those who go there to pray for help for a loved one than to those who come to pray only for their own healing.

The miraculous healing and reconstructing creative power of the Parental Pair, may be needed when the foot washing rite is performed to ask that a sufferer be freed of complexes and evil spirit influences as a preliminary to the healing that automatically may be given as a result of the cleansing of the “path.” The rules to be followed when we foot-wash each other include the making of amends, directly or in kind, by the one to be treated. Then follows the generating of a surcharge of mana by the operator and the presentation of the charge and the prayer picture (telepathically) to the Aumakua to ask that complexes be removed, etc. Perhaps the love which the operator is able to generate as an emotional help to the generation of the mana surcharge is the measure of the answer that will be given to the prayer. Or, it might be that the sex forces add some element to ordinary mana. It cannot be denied that men have tried for centuries to work out a system of sorts so that the “serpent fires” could be “aroused” and miraculous results obtained, physically, mentally or spiritually. Probably great lovers make the great healers in any age. Will someone who can use the pendulum well take over the assignment of seeing what pendulum reactions result when there is great love force available, as in contrast to when there is little or none? An effort might even be made to see what pendulum reaction comes to indicate that love is in plentiful supply on each of the three planes of our being, Aunihipili, Auhane and Aumakua.

????????????????? The Besant branch of the Theosophists, some years ago, organized a secret section which had for part of its purpose, I was given to understand, some type of work in which men and women paired off and possibly used or tried to use come combination of positive and negative prana (our manas) force. I gather that the effort was not greatly successful and ended soon. Now for the question. Can any of you give us more definite information as to what was tried out and what theory was behind the test?

THE SCIENTOLOGY $800 COURSE which was mentioned in the last Bulletin, was, I understand, guaranteed to produce a bettered state, possibly what is call being “clear.” We would say that it was to remove the complexes. A letter just in as I cut this stencil, asks whether the HRAs who took the course got the results expected. I have not heard from them as yet, but Ikey Stone, already quoted in this Bulletin, writes, “I came to Phoenix fully determined NOT to stay for the Clinical Course. (The $800 one.) I was so impressed by the changes L.Ron Hubbard has made in his own personality – without any sacrifice of the flamboyant qualities – that I applied for the course. We had six weeks of excellent lectures and of group processing.  The first three weeks consisted almost wholly of group processing by Hubbard, a tremendous experience.”

Just why and how the experience was so “tremendous,” she did not state. As we all know, the original Dianetics was presented as a system that would heal or normalize physical as well as mental difficulties and was simple enough to be used by almost anyone. The main attraction to young college men seemed to be the promise that mental ability would be greatly increased when the ‘engrams” (complexes to us) were removed and that the force tied up in them, when released, would add much to the physical and mental powers of the one “cleared.”

Of late months I hear little or nothing of these claims or promises, but as L.Ron has turned his organization into a religion, I take it that while such results are the real goal of all present “processing,” it is best not to say much about it. There are powerful associations ready to cause much trouble for anyone threatening their exclusive position in the field of the healing arts, either mental or physical. The Scientology method in use at the moment seems to be one in which exercises are taken to create firm belief in the fact that one is NOT a part of the body or even mind. The argument is that if both legs were cut off, the real “I” would be just the same. It follows that if the entire body is lost, the “I” remains. Also, if memory or other mental powers are lost, the fact that one (as in amnesia) still retains a sense of being an “I,” this proves that the real self (thetan in Scientology ) lives independent of the body. If this premise is accepted, one tells oneself that no bodily or mental trouble is a part or belonging of the real “I,” and what with some mental gymnastics which are part of the “techniques,” one automatically corrects the trouble, whatever it may be. For a fuller exploration of this line of thought and practice, see a fine little book by Rolf Alexander, MD, titled THE DOCTOR ALONE CAN’T CURE YOU. Parts of the book were published in 1939 and the book in its present form was put out in 1943. I have sent for a copy, trying the 1943 address of the Overton Press, Zypher Cove, Lake Tahoe, Nevada, and if I get a reply, will know the price and ask if the supply is available for HUNA REASEARCH PUBLICATIONS to handle. (The copy I have at the moment was borrowed.)

MY CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS TO HELP PRODUCE THE BULLETIN brought two offers to edit and an offer from two strangers in another city to come over when and if possible to help produce the Bulletins. Several letters came to object strenuously to having anyone but myself write the Bulletins or head the research work which continues to be done. A number wrote to say that the way to handle the problem was to ask those who want to receive Bulletins to send in gifts of money to enable me to hire the assistance needed. This last way is the old way we had before and for the present it seems best to go along as we are, with a Bulletin once a quarter, and with all who wish to receive copies asked to send in small money or stamp gifts for our “Cigbo” cigar box kitty, to help me keep the ball rolling. The new-used mimeograph is gradually getting paid for and books needed for the present research stage are paid for in a small part out of the box. You may remember that I stated that I hoped to pay all Bulletin expenses out of my own pocket, but this did not work out well. “Something-for-nothing” always brings in a great rush of requests from all sides, with often long lists of friends to be put on the mailing list. From now on, only those who are sufficiently interested in the Bulletins to help produce them and to support at least a little the expenses involved here at the middle of things, will be kept on the list.

THE HUNA RESEARCH ASSOCIATES HAS REFUSED TO DIE as an organization. In the new book I said that it had been disbanded, hoping in this way to prevent a flood of letters demanding membership. Either people do not read that part of the book or do not believe me. The letters still flow in asking to be allowed to join and to have the Bulletins sent. Endless requests come asking where the nearest HRA group can be found, and also asking for the names of other HRAs in close reach of the writers. I have refused to give out names, and there is but the one group, that in New York, now operating, but it may be necessary to open the directory lists again to put people in touch with those who wish companionship by letters or through possible groups. My only anxiety is HOW to get past the impossible task of answering so many letters which the slightest renewal of our HRA activities entails. The TMHG correspondence alone is enough to keep me busy two hours each day. Please keep your letters short and to the point when you write. Don’t ask questions unless very necessary, and please say “NO ANSWER EXPECTED” if you possibly can. In this way all of you can help. I can use form letters part of the time.

RESEARCH WORK DOES CONTINUE STEADILY, of course.

There are always a few able and/or enthusiastic HRAs who write to propose taking up certain research or experimental projects, and with these I cooperate as best I can. Some of the HRAs make me very happy by laying out their own research work, carrying it through, and pausing from time to time just to let me know what they have tried and what results were obtained. A few have been working on their own lines, but find that their tests throw light on Huna also. For instance:

HRA DR. WESTLAKE REPORTS VERY IMPORTANT FINDINGS from England in a recent letter. Let me quote parts of the report. “I have been concentrating on endeavoring to ascertain how it is possible to achieve accuracy and reliability in radiesthetic findings, and I have made considerable progress chiefly because I have been fortunate enough to have found a first-class doctor who is, at the same time, one of the best medical dowsers I have come across. He and I have been working together, I doing the chemical side and he doing the radiesthetic side. We have had some brilliant results. This last autumn I prepared a paper summarizing our work for presentation to the Medical Society for the Study of Radiesthesia, and it was duly read on November 25th. I also read supplementary papers on January 27th.

“The first was called, ‘The Contribution of Radiesthesia to the New Medicine,’ and the other, ‘Towards Radiesthetic Reliability – Further Chemical Evidence.’ I introduced Huna concepts in two places, (1) in the training of dowsers in the use of the pendulum, where I suggested it was simply a question of contacting the Low Self and establishing a friendly relationship, training it in cooperation and in independence and in the convention of communication, also instructing the Low Self in the sort of facts and data required. (2) In E-Therapy, definitely involving the aid of the High Self. Let me quote from my paper.

“The patient was now ready to move to the fundamental therapy – E-Therapy, (a system worked out by HRA Kitselman) in which a superior entity – the ‘E’ – is assumed and its aid invoked in getting at the unconscious depths. I saw no reason why one should not definitely invoke the aid of the High Self instead of something indefinite like the ‘E’ and this I did, using the following technique.

“The patient was placed in her own Eeman relaxation circuit, and then a lead from my orgone energy cone – this is the Cameron cone, but made as a Reich accumulator – was placed in her left hand, the relaxation circuit at the same time being earthed. The effect of this is to give a large charge of mana which is available to the High Self for (use in) the therapeutic session which follows. At the end of five minutes the cone lead is dropped and the earth is disconnected. She was then told to relax completely, as she had been taught, and when she felt ready, to offer up, out loud, a simple prayer to the High Self asking for whatever she felt she wanted during the session. This done, we waited. Usually there was a complete blank-out for 5, 10, 15 minutes or longer, and then the unconscious and other material begins to come through. No time limit must be placed on the length of the session, which may be 30 minutes or 1 1/2 hours, when it comes to a spontaneous and definite end. I have found it very important for me not to interfere or to take the lead, but only to act as a contact point, interpreting, encouraging, reassuring or maintaining continuity; the thing to remember all the time is that the High Self is conducting the session, not you.

“We only had six sessions in all, but that, in this case, was sufficient to bring up all the relevant unconscious material. I say ‘relevant,’ for what astonished me was the fascinating economy of what was forthcoming. It dealt with the past, the present and the future, the latter two largely in symbols which had subsequently to be interpreted.

“This whole case from which I have taken this extract, was a fascinating record of how a young woman, aged 21, passed from a highly strung, nervous, out of phase little creature, to the beginnings of a hale and whole personality, integrated, God centered, able to take hold of her own life and destiny, in the short time of five months. The method was training the Low Self and then contacting the High Self as described above and also in the Huna prayer technique. We must now keep in close touch as I feel that things are moving fast and great developments will take place this year. I am sure this is the reason why you have had no direct indication of what the next step is – you are waiting for things to happen elsewhere.

“The (Huna) leaven you have released is busily working, even if silently, all over the world. I am amazed at the way I find it is working in this country. I keep coming across it in the most unlikely quarters.

“You are the pivot – the kingpin of the Huna cause and you must remain at the centre, representing, assessing, interpreting Huna in its wholeness – what, in fact, you have been doing for the last five or six years … Aumakuas guide you and bless you, my friend and make you increasingly a blessing to all seeking the truth.”

(This letter is greatly appreciated, both as a report of the finest, and as one offering me friendship, understanding and encouragement in every way.)

AGAIN IN PRINT AND AVAILABLE is The Secret Science Behind Miracles. Only 1,000 were printed, so the unit price of production, plus the purchase price of plates and rights, has been high, but the $4 price, post paid is the same as before. (Sales tax to be added in California.) This edition is of the large size, and has a new index added. The Secret Science at Work is in plentiful supply at the same price. More and more book stores are stocking these books.

MORE OUT OF PRINT BOOKS have been ordered for the present intensive research into Huna as the original and basic system behind most of the great ancient religions. The four best books of Gerald Massey have just been ordered from London as well as a few more of the very important books by G.R.S. Mead. Now that I [know] what to watch for, I begin to see Huna sticking out from all the dusty cracks and crevices of ancient writings. New angles are called to my attention, and slowly the Huna picture broadens and takes on depth. Who knows what will be found next! MFL

For those who wish to try out the method used so successfully by HRA Dr. Westlake, here is a very rough diagram of the Eeman relaxation circuit. The squares under the hips and head are made of canvas and sewed to one corner of each square is a piece of heavy cotton or silk cord about 8 feet long. The end of the cord held in the right hand runs to the canvas square upon which the lower end of the spine rests. The left hand grasps the cord running to the canvas under the head. Vital force or mana runs along the cords as electricity on wires, and causes one lying on his back, lightly and comfortably clad, to become much relaxed, even to fall asleep in a half hour. No reason is given to explain why the vital force does not run along the cloth of garments or the cover of the cot, so I suggest that because we expect the mana to flow from body to canvas through cord to hand, it is caused to do so by the Aunihipili. Anyway, it works.

In the second diagram we see how to put two people together in the relaxation circuit. A well person and a sick one can be so linked for helpful treatments, one sharing mana with the other who needs it, also possibly giving healing thought-forms or vibrations in the Process by sending them with an effort of mind to the one treated – the latter lying relaxed and expectant. In the method described by Dr. Westlake, only the patient is placed in the relaxation circuit. Mr. Eeman found that just to lie relaxed in this circuit often helped complexes come to the surface. With the E-Therapy used and an appeal made to the Aumakua to accept a good gift of mana, then use it to cause the complexes or obsessions to be broken, we have the Huna method used by Dr. Westlake.

He also offers a fine innovation in the matter of accumulating the surcharge of mana before one tells the Aunihipili to contact the Aumakua and give it the mana as well as the mental picture or “prayer” in which the Aumakua is seen removing the complexes, driving away “eating companion” evil spirits and otherwise acting to free the patient and “open the path” to the Aumakua completely. With the “stumbling blocks” removed from the “path,” the Aumakua can then bring about the desired healing or other changes to help the one so treated. The one doing the treating sits by, also offering mana and a similar prayer. He also listens to what is said by the patient and tries to find meanings for things that are recalled or seen in imagination – things often very symbolic.

The Cameron cones can be made of light aluminum sheets or galvanized iron. A suggested size would be one foot from the tip of a cone to the bottom of the side. They may be made from one inch high to two feet. An insulated wire or cotton cord can be run through the points as shown in the diagram. The set of three may be hung up by the cord coming out of the top, or the cones may be set on their sides in a triangle formation. During the accumulation of mana, one takes hold of the cord coming out of the top of the cones, as it is from the cone tips that the concentration of force flows. The fact that one expects the flow of force from the cones to build up a surcharge of mana in the body may be what starts the process going. However, the force which HRA Cameron found accumulated and projected by the cones may be identical in some respects to the “forgone” force of Reich. In any event, one holds the cord from the top cone for five minutes while the bottom cord is grounded in some way, possibly by being tied to a gas or water pipe or to a metal rod thrust into the ground. (I am not too clear on this point.) (One of the newer HRAs found that the cord from the top of three very small cones, when held over his heart for about five minutes – not too long, of course, as this force or ray has a germ-killing power, experiments tend to show – the pain caused by the heart trouble, especially in the upper arms, was stopped.) (Consult HRH Cameron book which has been mentioned frequently in recent Bulletins, for more information.)

USING THE HUNA VERSION OF E-THERAPY or THE FOOT WASHING RITE I have said to those who send in their $1.10 to our new little publishing company to get HRA Kitselman’s little book “E-THERAPY,” that Huna should be mixed well to make it match the Biblical “foot washing” rite discussed in my late book. Here are the combined steps to be taken in using the combined method.

1. (Huna) Individual must decide to let the Aumakua direct his life. This is not hard as normal happy living and hurtlessness is all that is required. Where much is to be corrected, some fasting and prayer will help as a conditioner. Amends to others for hurts done to them must be made directly or in kind if direct amends are no longer possible. Do daily “good deeds” enough to make you feel you deserve healing or help. Remember that ALL of us have complex and spirit-influence trouble to some degree. The more our paths are “blocked” the less we are willing to admit that this is possible.

2. (Huna) A session begins with both the observer and the observed accumulating mana for a minute or so at least, visualize drawing the mana up from the feet with the intake of breath, and, when you begin sending it to the Aumakua, visualize it being sent through the top of the head and up along the connecting aka cord to the Aumakua as your gift to empower it so it can work on the denser lower levels and remove complexes etc. Five minutes of deep, slow breathing and sending should be the limit. Best Accumulate about two minutes and send while continuing to accumulate with the breathing exercise for three more minutes. Picture the Aumakua taking the mana and using it soon to “clear your path.” The observer does the same but pictures the one observed as being helped. (E-THERAPY just has both ask the “E” to take over and begin clearing the complexes and/or at the same time bring healing.)

3. (Huna and E-Therapy). The one observed relaxes and tells what comes into his mind. The observer tries to help figure out the meaning of the material, especially its possible symbolic significance. The Observee may lie long inactive, mentally or physically, but the E or Aumakua is not pushed. This condition may be fruitful. Or, physical and emotional reactions come to the one observed. These are allowed to come and go. With a few sittings benefits appear.

4. (E-THERAPY and, in a way, Huna) Remember that one does not have to be entirely free of complexes in order to remain alert and watchful as an observer and in order to get through to the Aumakua to a sufficient extent to be able to send the mana surcharge and the telepathic mental picture or “prayer” of what is desired. If one is uncertain whether he is a good candidate for the job of observer, one tries it and sees. Almost all of us have some healing power and it will increase rapidly if we use it. The same applies to the ability to assist by acting an observer. One may take turns sitting with a friend as observer and as the one observed. No harm can come as long as the purpose is to help and as long as the Aumakua is continually allowed to have full charge of what is to be caused to happen or not to happen.

5. After a sitting of up to one or two hours (or of only a half hour), when either person feels that the sitting has been ended by the Aumakua, mention is made of the feeling and if both agree, the sitting is ended, (Huna) by thanking Aumakuas of both parties and one person saying that the sitting is now ended. (Note that the relaxation circuit may be used all the time by the one observed, or, as in E-Therapy, not at all.) Relaxation should not go so far that the one observed falls asleep unless this seems the plan of the Aumakua..

ASSIGNMENT FOR ALL ACTIVE OLD AND NEW HRAs: Try out the above methods with a friend or several friends and report findings.

For those who cannot find partners for mutual foot-washing, it is suggested that personal efforts be made to use the same general methods. Try acting for a number of sittings as your own observer. Go into the relaxation circuit and relax. Accumulate and send the gift of mana. Make the request to the Aumakua as above described. See what happens. At the end of a session or perhaps in the midst of it, make short notes about what comes to the surface of your mind, the mental pictures, memories, imaginations. You can study these between sittings and sleep over them. Some HRAs have found that if expected, the Aunihipili will, in dreams, give explanations of some of the material that has been given in the sittings.

If physical reactions come, such as muscular activities, feelings of hot or cold or other sensations, trembling, jerkings and so on, remember that these things have often been experienced by others in similar sessions and that the theory is that when complexes are broken up, the mana that holds together the knots of thought-forms which compose the complex-chains, is released and used up in the physical reactions or sometimes in some form of emotional storm. If anything seems even slightly dangerous or out of hand, ask the Aumakua, mentally picturing it acting as you request, to tone down the reactions. If one suspects that spirits have tried to take over to use the sitting for purposes of their own (usually irrational purposes on the part of separated spirit Aunihipilis), ask that they be removed and that a circle of light and power be drawn all around to prevent their return. Some who are not nervously strong or who are naturally mediumistic may find spirit interference so great that it will be best to discontinue the sittings. Use good common sense.

HRAs George and Helen Sandwith

HRAs George and Helen Sandwith who have made extended studies of native magic, religion and spiritism in several South Pacific islands, and especially in Fiji and Samoa, are now getting their reports ready in book form. They also plan to become international lecturers on these findings made in the course of their field work.

In early March I was sent a booklet of 24 large pages, well printed, giving their lecture which George delivered before the Medical Society for the Study of Radiesthesia, in England. The booklet is titled RESEARCH IN FIJI, TONGA & SAMOA, and it tells the exciting, interesting and often basically important things which they observed, had happen to them, and discovered by dint of much study and testing with Aurospecs, Aurameter, Biometer and pendulum.

The lecture takes up fire-walking as performed by Hindus in Fiji, giving their cleansing rites, methods, gods, and beliefs in detail. The healing accomplished as a part of this form of worship is discussed and first hand accounts by eyewitnesses are included. The Sufi Ratib is also described, in which Hindus of another group use religious practices to prevent knives from cutting, and so on, when the participants would otherwise have been badly cut or stabbed or otherwise injured. Tests of the power of the male and female “Atuas” or “gods” of stone or other materials play a large part in the Sandwith adventures and studies.

The most exciting part of the account comes in the story of a night-long battle in an isolated native village in Fiji, in which the Sandwiths, using their ikon or “Akua” and other methods, resisted repeated attacks made by the resident chief, a black magician. The magician caused a strange inhuman or animal-like spirit to materialize for the final attack on them, but they fended it off and eventually it got out of hand and went making its odd grunting noises into the village itself. The result was a near panic as the natives screamed and shouted and the dogs became frantic – everyone running. The encounter had been prefaced the day before when the magician explained in some detail about the mana they knew and used, the nature of devils and spirits involved in magical practices, and so on. This is most informative and entertaining reading.

Copies of the lecture may be had from Omega Press, Chisledon House, Blandford Road, Reigate, Surrey, England. The price over there is 4 shillings six pence, to which should be added enough for postage. An international money order may be purchased and sent. Postage for an air letter is 15c still but long mail letters now take 8c. If you wish me to place your order for you, send a dollar marked, “Have Huna Research Publications get me a copy of the Sandwith lecture.”

In May a full size book by the Sandwiths, MAGIC MISSION, giving the story of their findings and experiences in detail, with a good number of illustrations, will be ready. This may be ordered from Omega Press at a price to be decided upon later, probably, they estimate, over 16 shillings. Order direct or send $3.80 to H.R.Publications, care of me, and they will import one for you when ready and send along. If it costs more, you will be billed. If less, Cigbo, our HRA “kitty,” will get the balance for his Bulletin fund.
