Miraculous Healings

June 1, 1956

 

This BULLETIN is sent to all members of the HRA upon request, and is supported by such gifts as the members send in from time to time. Membership is open to all moral people, and carries no obligations. No dues are assessed, but gifts are accepted with thanks to help with the continuing research, buy books, subscribe to periodicals and help meet the costs of correspondence. Letters not dealing directly with some Huna research project or reports on related studies, should be limited as much as possible in length.

GOOD NEWS AND A CORRECTION comes from HRA Lucien Beck, on behalf of the FIRST HUNA GROUP OF NEW YORK. It is not dead, but just resting. It will reorganize with perhaps three seasoned members sharing the leadership. Meetings may be resumed at the end of the summer. I am assured that the dues of 10¢ per month was but a fleeting idea, and that it had nothing to do with the temporary inactivity of the group. Mr. Beck suffered a severe illness last year and was unable to carry on as usual. None of the other former groups report plans for revival.

OTHER GROUPS OFTEN STUDY HUNA although they may be anything from a Metaphysical Club to a Theosophical lodge or Unity Center. Often I am asked to give the names and addresses of all HRAs in a given district so that they can be looked up and perhaps asked for help in using Huna. As you more seasoned HRAs know, we once got into considerable trouble (editorial “we”) giving out names without permission, and the practice had to be discontinued. Huna is not something which a beginner examines in an hour of reading, then tosses the book aside and writes to ask where he can find a kahuna to work miracles for him, or an old and experienced HRA to spoon feed him with Huna. It is a system which the individual must bore into carefully and faithfully. It takes time to grasp Huna and to learn to use it. It also takes steady application, and many are incapable of meeting the requirements. For the student who will take time for study and to learn how to use Huna, there is no need for group work of the usual sort or for personal instruction. In my book GROWING INTO LIGHT will be found training and developing exercises in plenty.

HRA ERNEST E. LORD, 77a Durham Road, Surrey Hills, Victoria, Australia, invites any HRA living in his vicinity to make contact with him if desired. He and his friends have what he describes as, “a small group of us meeting regularly at each other’s homes for meditation and discussion of various spiritual, psychic and philosophical matters – seeking touch with whatever is to be found.” Huna is now being considered. A working group can be built of people who come to bring something to the group, not of those who come with empty hands held out helplessly.

THE INTONATION OF OM OR AUM may be something which you have not tried in the Huna fashion to help get your Aunihipili to work better in making contact with the Aumakua. HRA R.S.M. writes from Wisconsin, “The Orientals intone OM on A above middle C. When I do so, it rings in my ears and fills the room. The other night I intoned Au-ma-ma on A above middle C. The effect was electrical. A great chill shook my body. It may have been my Aunihipili reacting because it knows it gets results in other things on that A. I intoned it as WUMMA-MA. I regard the Aumakua as the Aumakua or Aum-god.”

The note or pitch for the intonation or invocation with the use of OM has some variation, but the pitch given above makes a good starting point for a man. Large brass semi-spheres were often used in the Orient. These were like inverted bells and gave out a very deep note when struck. By pouring water into the vessel it could be tuned to ever higher pitches, and in an old vessel which used to sit beside the pool at the Krotona Lodge of the T.S. in Hollywood, California, in 1915, could be seen graven lines with the initials of the maker to indicate his filling level and the note upon which his best intonation was sounded. One might, in these modern times, strike one’s personal pitch on the piano and get similar help in getting the start just right.

It may also have been that the monks of old saved their voices and struck the big brass vessels repeatedly in the belief that it made the invocation for them. Prayer wheels were turned with that idea, each turning supposed to repeat an OM to the credit of the turner. The prayer wheels were often set to turn day and night by wind or water. When the original and secret lore of Huna was lost in many Oriental lands, there remained only the outer shells of the great truths shared by the passing kahunas – the legendary “masters.”

The “chill” reported by HRA R.S.M. is felt in various degrees as mana flows, contact is made with the Aumakua, or with unseen spirit visitors, good or bad. The “fear of the Lord” was the outer term used for this sensation. Fear makes for the trembling of a chill, and so the symbol developed. The symbol for vital force or mana was water, but if the path of contact to the Aumakua was blocked by a complex or sense of guilt, the offering of mana did not flow along the connecting aka cord. It was then symbolized as ice or frozen mana – mana which would not flow. This idea or symbol of “COLD” was embodied in the word for “fear” as for “chill” and for “tremble.” The trembling of fear is accompanied by what may be the greatest of all the emotions known to mankind, and we must remember that the Aunihipili was known to be the creator of all emotions.

It is amazing to see the interlocking symbolism which the ancient kahunas evolved and built into their language to conceal and still preserve for the later initiates the secrets they knew and which we call HUNA. The study of these many symbols always brings one to the same end or conclusion, that is, that one must make contact freely with the Aumakua, then send the flow of mana and receive back the return flow to close the circuit. The Aunihipili reacts with some form of emotion when it sets to work, and the more evident the emotion, the more we can be sure that the Aunihipili is reacting to our command to pray in the Huna fashion, or to commune with the “Trustworthy Parental Spirit Pair” because of our love, devotion and desire to have Aumakuas taking their full part in the three-spirit or three-fold lives which we lead when we are in normal contact and all is as it should be. The High Self pair may be found united in perfect union, to form a single SELF, or it seems that they may separate in a way for work or living, becoming the Father and the Mother Selves. The Mother was asked by my learned friend, W.R. Stewart, for help in getting his supply of physical things, while for ideas he applied to the Father. This method had been taught him by the woman kahuna he had met in North Africa, as you may remember from reading my books.)

HUNA MIRACLES ARE BEING REPORTED in letters that come to my desk, or miracles which have come in the past without the use of Huna may be described by my friends who write of their experiences. Of one thing we can be very sure by now, and this is that prayer and emotion – usually a very strong emotion of desire on the part of the Aunihipili – are needed to bring about the miraculous answer to prayer. Emotion indicates always that much mana is present and is being used by sending it to the Aumakua as we pray.

Two things seem to stand out when we study the reports on the miracles. First, there seems to be a considerable period of time elapsing in which the individual suffers and his prayers seem not to get an answer such as is desired. Only in Huna is this period explained. It is described as the time needed for the old future which has already been constructed from our hopes, surroundings, fears, complexes etc. to BREAK UP. It is a clearing of the decks. It is the original idea from which the dogma of “karma” arose in the Orient. If the future is crystallized far ahead and is bad, it may be painful in the extreme in breaking up. It falls on our heads, so to speak, but the “storm is usually tempered to the lamb” so that we can bear it. The second thing always to be noted is that the individual has not given up but has held the faith like Job of old, and has continued to pray and to trust. The answer often comes suddenly when it does come, and this sudden element gives us the instant healing or miracle as against the one that is slower and may cover a period of hours or days.

TWO MIRACULOUS HEALINGS which illustrate the two points just mentioned, have recently been reported by one of our HRAs who has been working with Huna for several years. All seemed going well, and then began a series of illnesses and a long train of difficulties for HRA H.F., of Chicago. During the whole sequence of trouble this HRA has been on the TMHG list and I have worked my best with him and his wife to call down help. About two years seem to have been needed to live through the breaking up of the old future for him. The final blow was to fall into a diabetic coma just after being able to go back to work in his profession. There had been no indication of this malady before this final straw to “break the camel’s back” of faith. But the faith held and this HRA fought back, scolding his Aunihipili and arriving at a strong determination to resist the insulin shots which his doctor said would have to be used from there on in. His Huna-type prayers were marked by much emotion. Following the prayer effort he returned to his doctor for re-examination and no trace of sugar was to be found. The healing had been given. Thus upheld in his faith, he attacked another condition which was of long standing. His report follows.

“A miracle has just happened and I wish to tell you about it. When I was twelve I fell flat on my face (preserving one dozen eggs) and smashing the nose and skull above the nose, closing the sinuses, and forcing me to become a mouth-breather. (Drainage from the injured region, he goes on to relate, caused trouble for all the following years. MFL) “So I prayed. And this afternoon a structural change took place. I could hear the thing taking place. It went tick, tick, tick  and I found that I could breathe again as I did when I was a kid No more dry mouth and throat, no more strangling and bad dreams at night. Never again. I wanted you to know about this, and also that I am doing better financially.”

You may remember in SSBM that I told of the elevator builder who was instantly healed after a long period of illness and the loss of his position. In his case, when he finally made the strong prayer effort that brought his own healing, his faith became so strong that he approached the healing of his invalid daughter with complete confidence. He asked that the Power he had managed to call into action heal her also, and the healing was immediate and lasting. It becomes steadily clearer that we must never give up. We must hold the faith at all costs and must keep sending our mental pictures of the desired condition to the Aumakua with a gift of mana. If we arouse emotion, we can be sure that the Aunihipili is doing its part. If we feel a chill or tingling, we can be sure that a large interchange of flowing mana is going on. If we feel no emotion and no unusual sensations, we must hold fast to our faith and trust the superior wisdom of the Utterly Trustworthy Parental Spirits. They may be using the mana we get through to them to break up another part of the bad old future and to keep it from making a complete end to us.

Kahunas have left us a cryptic symbol message hidden in the language which they invented and used down the centuries as the “Sacred Language of Huna.” They advised that those who ask things in prayer be patient, and in their words for “patience,” aho`nui and hoo`mana`wa`nui, they explained to the initiates just why. Let us consider one of the best preserved pieces of Huna presentation to come down to us in a fair state of preservation. It may be said in passing that it was probably preserved because it seemed to have nothing to do with the later dogmas of what became Christianity.

A GREAT KAHUNA of ancient times, be he Jesus as presently described in Christian scriptures, or be he the earlier “Wise and Good Teacher” of the Essenes and the recently re-found Dead Sea Scrolls, it matters little. Here is writing that stands by itself and which depends on no authoritative personage to insure its values. If you have a Bible at hand, take it and turn to Luke 8:15, where “patience” is mentioned, and then join me as we look over the preceding fourteen verses, the significant parts being found in verses 5 through 18. This is the parable of the sower, but it may become the cornerstone of a reconstructed Christianity in which Huna is given its place after it has explained away the mass of accumulated and useless – yes, even harmful and misleading – dogmas. I will give the secondary or Huna secret meaning of various words in parentheses after the ordinary outer meaning. It will make for slow reading, but will tell you what meanings a kahuna would have derived from the recital. The Hawaiian-English New Testament is the source book used for the Hawaiian translation. (American Bible Society publication, 450 Park Ave., New York 22, N.Y. Price $1.37, post paid.)

Luke 8:5. “A sower went out to sow his seeds” (A person set to work to plant the seeds of a prayer. To him the seed meant several things. It was a summary of his wishes made into a short statement to be voiced in his prayer; it was the effect, product or consequence of an action, this time an action of mind by means of which he had decided just what he wished to ask in prayer – in planting the seed ideas or mental picture with the Aumakua “Heavenly Father; it was “seed” in the meaning of something flowing from one as water or foam from the mouth – mana always symbolized by water, and always sent flowing to the Aumakua along the connecting aka cord. To him the word for “sow” meant to scatter seeds, but ALSO to drip water – again the symbol of mana leaving him to go to the Aumakua. Dripping is a slow process and indicated to him the thought that one might have to send the mana over a long period of time before enough was provided for the making of the answer to the prayer.) “and as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.” (To “go out to sow” used the word hele for go. This means to tighten or stretch a rope or cord, and this is the symbol of making contact by means of the aka cord connecting one with the Aumakua. The sower, therefore, had first made sure that he had contact with his Aumakua. He had already provided the “seed” of the prayer, and he was sending mana to the best of his ability to carry the thought-form mental prayer picture to the Aumakua and to empower it to create the answer to his prayer. Some of the seeds failed to reach the Aumakua because the “eating companion” spirits attracted to him at the moment stole some of the surcharge of mana before it could be sent, and with it left the seeds with no mana to carry them to their destination. To be certain that this hidden meaning was not overlooked, we look at verse 6.)

Verse 6: “And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.” (The key idea is LACK OF MOISTURE or mana. Without sufficient mana sent to the Aumakua to keep the seeds growing from day to day, they withered. The next verse tells in the Huna symbol code of a further reason why prayers are often a useless sowing.

Verse 7: “And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.” (The thorn in any form symbolized for the kahuna something that was lodged in the Aunihipili and which prevented it from sending the prayer seeds and the mana-water to the Aumakua along the activated or “stretched” aka cord. Adam was cast out of the Garden with Eve because they tolerated “eating companions” or evil spirits and listened to their evil promptings as to those of serpents. They were sent to sow and reap as best they might where the land was thick with thorns and thistles, or Aunihipili fixations of guilt, mistrust and irrational and complexed beliefs. The significance of the crucifixion of Jesus was symbolized by the crown of thorns placed on his head.)

Verse 8: “And other (seeds) fell on good ground and sprang up, and bare fruit a hundredfold. And when he, (Jesus) had said these things, he cried, ‘He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.'” (To hear, for the initiate, also meant to obey instructions and to put to practice the things learned.)

Verse 9: “And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?” (Here we have evidence to show that there was a secret or mystery teaching behind the outer meaning of the parable. It would seem very probable that the disciples were not yet fully initiated into the Huna meanings. But note the skill with which the kahuna writer or speaker of old pretended to divulge the mystery teaching, while at the same time giving only more of the outer meanings of the words used in the parable. Note the reply given in verse 10 and the outer ideas repeated in the supposed explanation which followed.)

Verse 10: “And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables.” (One has only to read the supposed explanation that follows to see that it is but a blind, and that it gives away no Huna secrets. However, in verse 15 a further bit of Huna is added for those able to grasp the meaning of the words for “patience.”)

Verse 15: “But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it and bring forth fruit with patience.” (The seed and the sower are mixed up in this verse, but the meaning is clear, thanks to Huna. The “honest and good heart” is the Aunihipili cleansed of its complexes and false beliefs, also set free from the influence of evil spirits who remain only so long as their evil promptings are acted upon. The one who is initiated not only hears but he obeys instructions. He makes his prayer in the Huna way set forth in the parable, and he exerts patience: that is, he does aho`nui, which is to stretch a cord, which symbolizes, as noted above, the activating of the aka cord leading from Aunihipili to the Aumakua, and he does hoo`mana`wa`nui, or makes mana and causes it to flow over a necessary period of time – long or short – to the Aumakua to be used to nui the “seeds” of the prayer, that is to make them swell and grow as seeds into plants which eventually bear fruit. The answer that at last comes to the prayer may be likened to ripe fruit” falling from an unseen heavenly tree into the hands which have so long been held waiting in full faith to receive it.)

Verse 17 evidently refers to Huna. “For nothing is secret that shall not be made manifest; neither anything hid that shall not be known and come abroad.” (The word for “hid” is huna`ia or “to make truly secret or concealed.” And, if we are to accept this statement as being properly preserved from the original, it seems to promise that Huna will be made known as an open secret – as we certainly are making it known at long last in our own tight little circle of the few who have ears to hear and are able to listen without being stopped by their accepted dogmas or by their inability to understand what is set before them.)

Verse 18: “Take heed therefore, how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.” (This is a passage which has been read with much amazement down the years. It makes no sense with its outer meanings and contradiction of known circumstances in life. But when we realize that Huna and its hidden meanings are meant, then it in easy to see that one who knows the secret symbols will be given with ease the many inner meanings, while the individual having only a knowledge of outer meanings will constantly find himself confronted by contradictions in the parables and other teachings which take from him the little certainty that he has thought himself to have won.)

MORE CASES OF SLOW AND FAST MIRACULOUS HEALING have been described by Dr. A.J.P., who had, after long suffering, the almost instant restoration of a badly deformed leg and knee (as reported at length in one of the early Bulletins). Until he became familiar with Huna and realized that he had by accident come to use Huna prayer methods, he spoke of the Aumakua as “The Light” and knew only that there was a Personality and a force or power that was used by it through him to bring about the healing when requested. He writes: “I have had hundreds of cases which prove Huna to be a foremost therapeutic agent. Combined with real Chiropractic adjustments, it provides an ideal method for the restoration of the sick and deformed. Here is a list of random cases:

“Broken bones have been completely restored in from ten minutes to an hour, depending upon their size and position, and on the condition and age of the patient. Scars, large birthmarks and other blemishes were caused to disappear, leaving a healthy, normal and smooth skin. Heart valves which had been in poor condition for thirty years became normal in due course of time. Arthritic joints regained their mobility. Varicose ulcers were healed in record time. Even polio and cancer came into the list of things conquered, as did many other things considered incurable.

“For instance, take my Case No. 4911, which well illustrates what can be accomplished on the physical, mental and spiritual planes by ‘THE LIGHT,’ plus Chiropractic. When the patient first came for help she was forty three years old. She was extremely nervous, had very poor eyesight, had female trouble, two skin cancers, a burst-open appendectomy incision coming thirty years after the operation, a fear of insanity which constantly worried her because of periods of complete obsession – not to mention various aches and pains.

“When four years old she had, while at play, a small shovelful of sand thrown into her eyes. The sand became imbedded in the outer coat of her eyes, greatly impairing her sight. Doctors decided that it was too hazardous to operate to remove the sand and it remained there for 39 years. She wore special glasses which did not correct the condition. After applying ‘The Light’ to her eyes for quite some time, the outer thick scarred coat of the eyes sloughed off, sand and all. The eye specialists later pronounced her eyes ‘anatomically perfect.’

“All of the other conditions responded readily to the Light or mana treatment plus Chiropractic. The fear of insanity and the periodic trouble with obsession remained until the spirit ‘eating companion’ was removed in the following manner: The patient was seated and asked to relax as much as possible. Then, without strife, strain or effort, I silently spoke with much earnestness and feeling while directing my glance straight at the patient, saying, ‘Attention, my Inner Self. I am calling through Thee to the mighty angels to come forth and seize from within and around (name) all disembodied beings of every kind and nature; take them to their place and bind them there until they acknowledge Jehovah as the Father and Creator of all. I thank You that it is done.’  Then followed the usual profuse perspiration, jerking, sickening of the stomach, etc. The ‘eating companion’ was taken away and has never returned. Nor has the fear of insanity recurred. Today she denies that she ever said or even thought some of the things mentioned in connection with her former condition. She states that she is a living testimonial as to what the ‘Light’ and Chiropractic can accomplish.” (Signed: Dr. AJP)

ONLY HUNA RECOGNIZES OBSESSION AS A FACT, now that Christians of all sects have discarded as superstition the New Testament teaching that evil spirits may have to be cast out in order to heal the obsessed. Spirits of the dead are most reluctantly mentioned by the Church healers, although some effective healers, such as Oral Roberts, stoutly dare to order the “devils” to depart from the sick. It is most important, therefore, in our work of restoring Huna to workable form, to have such a man as Dr. A.J.P. not only recognize obsessing spirits for what they are, but to be able to gain the help of the Aumakua level of spirits to cast them out. I believe a few Spiritualists like the famous Harry Edwards, of England, may also recognize the fact of spirit obsession and endeavor to get their good spirit “guides” to remove the evil spirits and keep them policed up. Dr. Carl Wickland, while alive, worked openly with the fact of obsession and became famous through his books and the high average of healing in obsessional cases. The treatment of obsessional cases in institutions is based on false theory but the ancient practice of trying to drive out evil spirits by making it too painful in the victim’s body to remain. Insulin and electric shock treatments which often wreck the patient, simply repeat ancient torture practices. It may take many years for science to bring itself to include spirits and psychical effects in its scope, and even then the inclusion of prayer and the help of Higher Beings will be needed to help the doctors treat obsession. How many centuries –  if ever – it will take science to catch up with such religion as Huna restores and offers to the world, is hard to guess.

TWO THINGS STAND OUT IN ANY STUDY OF OBSESSION by the method of prayer. The first is the apparent need for a physical contact so that mana can be supplied right on the ground for the use of the High Entities who are asked to do the actual work. This may have an added hypnotic power or the use of the mana by the Auhane to help control the spirits. The second thing is that the patient needs to have a change of heart and mind so that the old personal evil or lack of kindness which originally attracted evil spirits, will no longer be there to invite them back.

SHUN ANY “TEACHING” THAT TELLS YOU TO MAKE A MENTAL effort cause the”serpent fire” or forces to “circulate from the Christ center in the head around the spine to the lower centers and back again.” One of the HRAs in Australia is fighting almost for his life against entities who fastened themselves to him as a result of playing with this exercise. The American “school” teaching this dangerous exercise in a mail course could suggest no remedy. Always remember that the safe way of life is the normal one. Anything contrary to the pleasant and normal in living may hold danger. I have before me a “course” in which one is told to stop eating salt. We evolved from the sea and several minerals are needed by the body, salt most of all. Normal use of salt is good. The same goes for foods.

BOOK REVIEWS

THE MAGIC POWER OF YOUR MIND by Walter M. Germain,Hawthorn Books, Inc., 70 Fifth Ave., New York 11, N.Y. 285 pages. $3.95, is the work of a man trained in crime prevention. It follows the lines of the “Mind Power” books which have recently been such good “best sellers,” but is far superior to any of the earlier ones which I have seen. The author speaks of a conscious mind that is that of the accepted psychologist, but lumps the subconscious with a “Supraconscious” which is all wise and still suggestable. He recognizes a vague “spirit force” and also speaks of the “Law of Compensation.” It is a better than usual rehash of the New Thought and psychological writings of the past 50 years. Fine for readers with a Biometric reading under 288 degrees.

ISLANDS OF MEN, by Colin Simpson, Angus & Robertson, Sydney, Australia. 250 large pages, illustrated in color and black and white. Price not given, but guess places it at $6.50. This book was sent as a gift by HRAs George and Helen Sandwith, often mentioned for their search for Huna information in extensive travels and through many tests and experiments. It deals with the Melanesians for the most part, telling of their way of life, but also covers Fiji and other Pacific lands. In the back is the finest review and digest of fire-walking which I have seen. It quotes most of the writers who have looked into the subject, using parts of my early books, and a good article by George Sandwith. The writer faithfully reports all opinions and guesses, but has no very definite conclusion of his own to offer. A fine book for one’s South Seas reference shelf. (I was surprised to have him refer to me as “the leader of an occult school” instead of as a student engaged in trying to unearth and restore the oldest school of occult thought yet to be discovered – that of kahunas.)

HEALING BY RADIESTHESIA by our own HRA Mrs. J.T. Kingsley Tarpey, Omega Press, Reigate, Surrey, England, 68 pages, paper cover, Second Edition with new foreword. $1 post paid. Here is one of the most valuable books to come out of the field of Radiesthesia, which includes water dowsing, the use of the Biometer and all of those amazing helps in living which the men of “science” carefully ignore because they lack explanations for their successful use. Mrs. Tarpey has been at work for a large part of a very long lifetime, testing vitality and other things with the original Bovis Biometer, learning no end of important things about patients, and helping their doctors to know how to treat them. In addition she has a natural healing ability which she developed and put to use in a remarkable way – this book giving a fine account of a great variety of cases and the way she treated them. These cases include some of the Harley Street physicians with whom she has so long worked closely, and who came to her for healing when their own medicines and arts failed them.

A detailed and very interesting account is given of the steps by which she came to discover that her healing powers could be put into shawls, pieces of blanket and the like, later exerting strong healing powers when held by a patient, even at a distance. Eventually she came to discover that she could pour the power into her oil paintings (like the fine one we use in the TMHG work here in my Study). Her findings and experiments add a wealth of material to the knowledge in this part of the physical-psychological field. The edition is small, so do not delay in ordering your copy.
