Huna Code in Religions

 

ABOUT THE NEW BOOK: As I write, it is well along in the process of being printed and we have the promise that it will be ready July lst. It will take another ten days for the first shipment of copies to reach us here at Vista, and then, about July 10th, we can begin packing and shipping to fill orders.

The AD SHEET which we are now printing for later use will be enclosed with this issue of the H.V. for your use in case you wish a copy. If you do not, for heaven’s sake do not feel that I am putting the bee on you to buy one. On the other hand, if you want one and still have not saved up enough in your teapot to cover the price, just hold the order blank until your are ready to use it. Five thousand copies are being printed, and there should be no danger of having the book run out of print, at least for some time. In addition to the sales pitch on the ad sheet, you may wish to know what the chapter headings offer, so here they are:

PART TWO: A Dictionary of Code Words and Their Meanings. (Copied photographically from the Hawaiian/English Dictionary printed in 1865.)

A SPECIAL OFFER is being made to all HRAs, as they have helped make the research possible which has resulted in the book, and as the book itself is dedicated to them. The offer is, if you buy one book at the regular price of $6.00, you may then buy as many more copies as may be desired at $4.00 each. If you do not order the extra copies at once, please mark later orders, “Repeat Order at Special Price”. If you wish, you may add the explanation that you are getting the extra copies to use to lend, to give to a library, to use as gifts, to replace the copy you loaned to a friend and lost, or to give to the local priest or minister to add to the hilarity of nations and your local religious confusion. If you can talk some unsuspecting heathens into ordering copies through you at $6.00, you will make enough on each two sales to buy another book to help along in your fine missionary effort.

(Cigbo remarks that if you are a really good Christian you may even win several more nice bright stars for your crown. He also offers the sage and slightly catty advice that if you give a book to the Rev. Father or Rev. Preacher near you, it might be wise to sign the name of someone else on your letter of “transmusshion”.) In any event, keep your head down. Our new book is Atomic, and there are bound to be those who will rise up in wrath to smite us – the wicked and devil spawned children of perdition who dare question the sacred dogmas of Holy Church. Men of Science, especially the anthropologists, should also be handled with caution, for they will not at all like having their Complete and Final Authority questioned in the matter of the origin of the Polynesians in a fishing culture in South China. (I was amused by a letter that came in recently telling of a visiting friend of Huna who chanced to be in the famous Bishop Museum in Honolulu at the room where books are sold. She asked interestedly, “Do you carry Max Freedom Long’s books about the Huna lore?” The clerk drew back aghast, saying, “Those books? We certainly DO NOT!”) (Shades of Dr. Brigham) Another letter told of the same lady when she ventured into the largest book store in Honolulu and hunted in vain in the section where they carried books on religion, then in the Hawailana section, failing to find a trace of my books. At last she divulged her difficulty to a clerk. “Oh,” he explained, “you have been looking in the wrong places. We keep Long’s books in the section we call, ‘Crackpot Religion’.” Yes, children, you are keeping bad company, but isn’t it wonderfull in these blessed days of enlightenment one can actually dare to question the Great Poobahs without being burned at the stake for one’s temerity?

THE TELEPATHIC MUTUAL HEALING GROUP sittings were moved ahead an hour with the coming of Daylight Savings Time in California in late April. The sittings continue as before, at 3 and 7 P.M., California time. Adjust your time to match, or work alone starting at the beginning of any hour, day or night. You can ask to have the aka cord put into action and all that will be missing is the telepathic picture I send out when I am presiding. The Great Company of Aumakuas remains free of the limitations of time and space which hamper our physical movements, and a call sent out with a gift of mana to one’s own Aumakua may be accompanied by the request that the inner power of the whole group be put to work. “Where two (or more) are gathered in my name”, is something that applies in the TMHG. If you ask for help in making money, ask also that two others will be helped while you are. If you ask help in selling a house, be sure that you picture the sales agent benefitted by being repaid for his work, and that the buyers of the house will reap their benefit in use and enjoyment of the house. As Aunihipilis, we tend to ask benefits only for our own greedy animal-like selves. As we progress, we must learn to work for the benefit of neighbor and world.

MY “GUIDANCE”, AS YOU WILL RECALL, seemed to be (back in the days of H.V. Nos. 42-48) that I should do two things. First, write a new book covering the things revealed by the Huna Code in religious writings, and second, try once more to get a Huna Group organized and working on healing and other experimental projects. The decision was made to give at least a “token response” in order to test out the Guidance which was had through the Aunihipili and the pendulum from the Aumakua (using the Question and Answer method), and work was started at once with at least a booklet to be written. Also, a meeting was called for August to which all the local HRAs were invited – its purpose being to discuss the question of whether or not we should organize a group, and if so, to try to agree on the nature of the projects to be taken up and worked upon by the group. The meeting was a great success socially, and we had a good time getting acquainted and expressing our various views, but it became apparent that we could not agree on a project  or on much of anything else. So obvious did it become that we were not ready for group work that the idea was dropped as false guidance in which the Aunihipili had gone back to my 1948 hopes of getting groups to form and work. (I tried four times to organize groups in Los Angeles, and each time the efforts failed after a few months and much waste of time.)

NOW, at the risk of having the nearest HRA take me by the ear and lead me to the closest exit, I am going to venture to suggest a possible return to the guidance covering the matter of forming groups. It has occurred to me at this late date that the guidance may have been right in the direction of group formation, but that my response was defective in being greatly premature. Bear with me until I have explained what I mean.

In the writing of the new book, one new and surprising thing after another was turned up by applying the Huna Code to sacred writings, especially to the Four Gospels. Jesus, as the man (not as the Aumakua, which he alternately represented in the great Initiatory Drama) organized a group. It was made up of the Twelve Disciples, some of which we know were men and some, we may suppose, were women. The secret of this arrangement lay in the code word for “disciple”, which is hoo mana, which means, unmistakably, “TO MAKE OR ACCUMULATE MANA”. This could only show that there must have been a need for such an accumulation of mana, and immediately we think of the many miracles of healing performed at first by Jesus, and later by the various Disciples.

Perhaps, just perhaps, the guidance which I decided was false, was actually genuine and from the Aumakua. We have long wanted to be able to duplicate the healing performances of the kahunas of yesterday, and so far have made a poor showing at best. Of one thing we can be sure, and that is that the spirits of the dead can and sometimes do, come back to work through a medium to heal. We know that some of the kahunas made no bones about calling on spirits to help bring about the healings, and we may guess that some of those who apparently worked all alone, were helped by spirits, or were able to get direct aid from the Aumakua. (This is a thing we will have to decide upon later when we have more information and experience to go on.) What I wish to suggest, tentatively, is that we may have the proper approach to group work in the HRA circles if we follow the example of the Spiritualists and “sit” in circles, learn to accumulate mana in sufficient quantities, and then supply it to good spirits through a selected medium – the purpose of the work being to heal various individuals who need and are ready for such help.

OUR HOPE, OF COURSE, has always been that we might learn to work directly with the Aumakua and have it use the mana and perform the miracles of instant healing. We have felt that this was the method used by the best of the kahunas, and have considered the help of good spirits in bringing about such healings a step lower in the scale. Failing to learn to use the higher method, it seems to me that we can fill in, for the time being at least, with the lower. So many doors have opened to us already that I have come to expect more and more insight to be given. If we can simply keep moving in one direction or another, the Aumakuas will be able to nudge us into the right paths as we approach them.

I had a visitor recently who had read my books and decided to drive down from the city to see me. He and his wife, who is a Science of Religion graduate healer, have been working together, combining their skills. He is a natural medium and depends upon three spirit helpers who are said to have been doctors in life. They told of a number of cases in which healing had been accomplished after the usual doctoring methods had failed to get results. The wife was an outstanding example of his work. She had been injured as a young girl in an auto accident and from that time on had constantly suffered pains in her lower back. No treatment helped until, last year, the husband to be examined her with psychic vision and saw that there was a splinter of bone causing the pain. It lay buried in the disc between two lower vertebrae. He entered a semi-trance, a spirit doctor took over, and he was told to place one hand over the place where the trouble lay. In a short time he felt what he took to be the bone fragment strike the palm of his hand, but upon looking, a few minutes later, there was nothing to be seen. The healing was instant and complete. There has been no return of the pain.

One of the long time HRAs from Australia, V.F., who travels as a part of his business activities, recently wrote of his healing experience at the hands of the Filipino healer, Terte, who has been mentioned in the H.V. from time to time. My information was that Terte had been stopped from doing his healing work by the local medical doctors, but it seems that he can still treat a few under the right circumstances. Let me quote from the letter.

“I would like to give you an account of my visit to Mr. Terte while I have it fresh in my memory. Fortunately, I had a car and chauffeur at my disposal, otherwise I would not have dared to try to go there by taxi. He lives during the week in a suburb of Manila, going to Baguio only week ends. His place is in a miserable shack with a kind of general store in front. I entered through a dark and narrow passage which led me into a small room back of the shop. It was hanging full of washing. He offered me a chair but did not make the best impression and could not understand my ailment – gout – so decided to take me to a friend of his, a Professor Tolentino, who is a sculptor and who lived several miles away in a respectable home and who made an excellent impression.

“The Professor explained to me that one must have ‘faith’ – a la Christian Science – and that Terte works actually as a spirit medium and performs a kind of spiritual operation, cutting the belly open and removing the bad stuff from the abdomen. As they still did not understand what gout is, I proposed that Terte make a general prayer embracing everything, which should be just as effective. They let me lie down on a wooden table which a boy brought in, all prepared for such occasions. My clothing was removed from my abdomen and Terte started praying in Tagalo or Spanish. I could not understand it. The Professor was assisting on the other side, and the ‘boy’ was also around me bringing methylated spirit and several bottles. Terte rubbed my belly with the spirits , also my neck, and poured some of the spirits on my abdomen, and after a couple of minutes the ‘operation’ was over. They proudly showed me some ‘cloudy’ methyl spirit (in a bottle) containing various small stones and sand, which supposedly Terte had removed from my abdomen. He said that he had also rectified the position of my right kidney, which was ‘too low’. The bit with the stones is very suspicious. I had in my mind to have them analyzed when back in Sydney, but when I came back to the hotel, there was only a little sand left in the jar, and by now all of the stuff has practically dissolved!? In any case I am supposed to be now cured, and, the astonishing thing is that my pendulum says I am! I don’t lack the ‘faith’, and we shall see what we shall see. I gave him $10, which Terte did not want to take, but the Professor was not shy. He took it as ‘a contribution’ to a religious fund or something. What is your unbiased opinion?”

My opinion must wait until I learn from a later letter whether or not the healing was complete and lasting. If it is, then I would conclude that the spirits who do the actual healing work were better physicians by far than Terte.

One of the generous H.R.A.s who has had correspondence with Terte went to the expense of sending him a typewriter – which I would say was a very nice thing to do for a man as much in need of one as this simple and devout healer. She will, undoubtedly, find several stars in her crown awaiting her when she makes the leap.

TIME GROWS SHORT for my part in the long search for the secret of instant healing and I fear that when I make my own “leap”, the HRAs will have no leader and the research will grind to a stop. So …. I am keeping my ear to the ground and my eyes open to the slightest indication of something of value coming into sight. For example, the stranger who writes the letter from which I will pass on parts, may be on the trail of something which could develop into a new clue. Keep in mind as you read that, at present, the Huna belief has been reconstructed so that we think that the Aunihipili creates at least the greater part of the mana needed for keeping us and spirits supplied and alive. The kahunas appear to have believed that the Aumakuas take only a little mana from the lesser selves in the flesh to enable them to do the work of carrying on in the normal way. When the lesser selves call on the Aumakua to change the future, heal, and so on, there is a need for a much greater amount of mana, and this is consciously accumulated and sent along the aka cord to the Aumakua when the prayer for help is made. Legends current in old Polynesia indicate a belief that the Aumakuas, when pressed for action and lacking mana, can take it from growing green things such as trees and plants, but the legends are not clear on the point. My guess would be that extra mana might more easily be borrowed from Nature Spirits of the Aumakua level, as these are supposed to be working constantly to oversee plant growth. But, there may be a source of mana of which we do not yet know. The Hindus, in their idea of “prana”, think one can draw the vital force – already made – out of the air. It is upon this assumption that I would make a wild guess that, if this is correct, there might be places similar to tornado centers where mana would accumulate, and from which it could pour down on a living person under certain circumstances. (In Oahspe, much has been written by the transmitting spirits about the “vortex” and its  part in the mechanics of creating the functioning parts of the Universe. The energy created by a vortex is called “vortexya”. It is said to be polarized.)

“Dear Mr. Long: This information is totally subjective. That is, these are my impressions, mostly arrived at before I had ever heard of Huna. I was ‘opened’ in Subud about 3 1/2 years ago, and about a year later became aware that an excess of energy for healing purposes was available to me when I had need for it.

“When my husband would sink into a state of deep depression I found that I could lay my hands on him and revitalize and calm him down to quite an extent. I became rather adept at this and soon found that I could use it for others to a lesser degree, especially on my young son when he responded adversely to his father’s problems. In trying to understand what was going on I became aware that the excess energy entered me and then flowed out into someone I was trying to, help. Or. sometimes it seemed to flow back out of them as part of a cleaning process which I had to learn to get rid of in various ways. (The return flow of energy, I take it. mfl.) Sometimes a (Subud) ‘latihan’ was sufficient, otherwise I exhibited the same troubles that I had attempted to remove in others. Anyway, this energy seems to come to me from up over my head like a shower. I picture it as a water spout, and I have learned to turn it on whenever needed. After some time I learned to use it for myself with varying success when tired or ill. Also I found that in some cases, especially with my mother, I can often direct the flow to detach itself from me and stay with her while she is asleep if she is sick, and I have noted that usually by morning she is over or almost over what was bothering her. (Note how like our use of the Hudson method of projecting healing suggestion during sleep at night. mfl.) This was done without her knowledge.

“I get various sensations from the use of this energy, depending on how I am using it. A year or so later, I became acquainted with a young man in Lakemont, Georgia, who is, I take it, learning to be a healer, and who has had experiences similar to my own. He can command great amounts of power when he wishes to do so. He also has what he describes as a waterfall, but seems to have his under much better control than I do mine. He said that in meditation one night he asked about the nature of the waterfall and was given a mental picture of what seemed to be a layer around the earth some miles up in the sky, with here and there. I think he said there were 20 or 30 places in North America where the layer could be tapped and the energy drawn down. He surmised from this that it was a rare thing for anyone to learn to find and use these outlets. He said I was the only other person he had met who knew about the ‘waterfalls’ and used them ………

“After reading about Huna I might say that I have direct contact with what I believe to be the female part of my Aumakua. I get much useful information through this contact, some predictions of the future. At first I got a lot of confusion, but that is much less than when I started out. I am beginning to be able to recognize the ‘feel’ that tells me when I am receiving and when I am just imagining things. I am trying to talk to my Aunihipili through the use of the pendulum, and the ‘feel’ I get is very different, and I must admit, something like that which comes with the confusion – as if someone, probably my Aunihipili, is trying too hard to please me and is getting mixed up and reaching the wrong conclusions ……….

“There seems to be an excess of the energy in storage in Lake Rabun at Lakemont, Ga., and there may be at other places, but I have not had a chance to test any of them. I also am very much aware that certain people, often ‘healers’ and ‘mediums’ find me a wonderful ‘soft touch’ for energy, and I really had to learn to block them off in a hurry to keep from being pulled dry. I mention this because I make a point of being just as careful as I can not ever to take energy from another without permission. The young man at Lakemont has, upon several occasions, sent me extra energy over the aka thread over long distances, and one time I borrowed from a friend when I needed more in a hurry thinking she had a large supply and that she knew I was using it, only to discover that she didn’t realize I was getting it and it made her very sick for several days, so I have been careful not to do that any more.

“I usually have more than I can use and can get all I want, but at times – I do not know why – the waterspout is not available to me on short notice and I have to work for a time to get it …………
(End of letter)

I COMMENT that I am reminded of places such as the healing spring at Lourdes, and at various healing ‘shrines’, it could just be that there is more mana available than elsewhere. If I had time and could figure out a way to go dowsing at different places, I might eventually learn whether or not it is easier to accumulate a surcharge of mana at say, Lake Rabun, than elsewhere – or whether the flow would come upon request without the usual accumulating of mana, the sending of it to the Aumakua, and having it sent back as a return flow which gives one the sensation of having a fine rain falling on head and shoulders. (Some HRAs have reported feeling a tingling and prickling all over.) If you can add to the information given above, please let me hear from you. Your speculations will also be welcomed. Together we might turn up a new clue. I might say that while I am (like Cigbo) all for anything that is to be had free, my idea is that in the mental process of reaching out to call down the “waterfall” type of energy flow, there is an automatic reaching to a Higher Self and that certain people send what mana they may have on board and in that way, unknowingly complete the mana circuit with the Aumakua at the top and themselves at the bottom. In reports on psychic experiences, as in Fodor’s Encyclopedia of Psychic Science, I have read of the mediums at seances being left weak and ill after their mana has been used up by spirit guides. It seems to be the custom at present to ask the spirits to return the mana at the end of a seance. This, naturally, brings up the question of whether the spirits have actually used up the mana in producing phenomena or not. If not, where would be the need to take it from the one whom they were using as a medium? If so, where would the spirit get mana to give back to the medium at the end of the seance? Some apports are left in the seance room, so one can hardly say that when they are taken away the mana is released.

OAHSPE “The New Bible” was just mentioned in connection with the idea of energy being connected with the vortex, which is defined as, “Ethe holding corpor in solution, and when a portion of the solution is given a rotary motion, it is called a vortex.” While I have been unable to grasp all the ideas as presented by the spirit communicators to the medium, John Ballou Newbrough, about a century ago, and while I have been more than unimpressed with the majority of things presented, FOR THE RECORD, while we are turning up every stone in our search for clues, may I mention one thing that makes me think it possible that one of the spirits dictating the book may have known some Huna, and that if one had the time and patience to go through the nearly 900 pages, there just might be a clue found to give us information concerning the uses of mana, its production and the method of producing instant healing. There might be some form of CODE used in setting down the endless strange names for people and places and the renaming of most of the characters in known secular or religious history. The cheap effort to imitate the Bible by using King James English in the communication, however, would seem to be an indication that the communicators were, on the whole, neither very wise nor very honest in their intentions. There are hints in the book from place to place, that it contains secret lore, and if so, there should be provided some way of getting at the secrets, as in the writings onto which ancient Huna initiates grafted Code meanings. On page 189, top half, verse 17, of Oahspe we read. “Then Fragapatti said. And I declare unto thee, Hoab, that the condition can be attained. For I have seen kingdoms in heaven so fortified. And wert thou and thy people prepared to receive the sacred secrets pertaining thereto, I would most willingly unfold them before thee. Hoab said: Thou art a wise God; tarry thou and teach us.”

In verse 18 we read “Exact a promise of secrecy from thy people. Hoab said: It shall be done.”

BUT, one may read on, page after page, and not find anything given which even faintly resembles genuine secret religious teachings – or did I weary too soon in my search for the promised revelation?

TO GET BACK to the thing which makes me think there might have been one Huna initiate among the communicating spirits, let me remind you that some time ago, when I was experimenting to get a pendulum verification of contact being made with the Aumakua, I discovered that my Aunihipili seemed to have invented pendulum motions with which to tell me when contact had been established, and also when I was in touch and could ask for a Psychometric Analysis type of reading for the Aumakua in question – often that of a person for whom I was making a reading. What the Aunihipili uses is a pendulum swing series to produce a large plus sign inside a large circle. This cross in a circle is nothing new, having been used in ancient times by various religionists. It is used in Oahspe as its symbol, but has added in the center of the cross what seems to be a grape vine leaf. Also, the ends ot the cross protrude well beyond the enclosing circle.

On page 191, lower half, starting with verse 13, (Oahspe), we have an account of the drawing of the symbol and an interpretation of its meaning. This comes in a rewriting of the story of Zarathustra, as we know it from modern books. In this story the people addressed are said to be a mixed race, copper in color, descendant from Cain (“Druks” or “black ground people”) on one side and from Abel (the “I’hins, born of A’su and the angels who had taken on corporeal bodies”) on the other side. The God (Samati) called here “I’hua’Mazda”, is speaking to Zarathustra (described as “a su’is sar’gis of the fourth grade. His mother was “by Samoan, an angel, obsessed before she conceived, and during the time of maternity not suffered to awake from her unconscious trance”.) I quote:

“(13) Then inquired Zarathustra, the All Pure: Whence came All Good; whence came all evil? Who is All Good? Who is all evil? Then answered I’hua’Mazda to Zarathustra, saying Thou perceivest now, all evil must have a name; All Good must have a name. Without names, no man could talk. (Does this suggest a code built from the many names used in the book?) Behold, I will write for thee, O Zarathustra, thou All Pure. The mark I make first, thou shalt call the All Good, the Creator, the Master, the Light! (Jesus was called “Master” and “Light”.) Here, then, have I made a circle and a cross and a leaf. (14) Whoever looketh upon this mark seeth the Name of All Names, the Creator. (15) Then made I’hua’Mazda a circle and painted four dark corners in it, and called it Anra’mainyus, and the Uh-druk, the opposition to All Truth, and All Light, and All Good. (Then explained:) (16) And, behold, there stood within the circle of evil, the name of All Good, the cross, and it was light, and the corners were black. I’hua’Mazda called this mark fate, explaining…  these three marks (or characters) embrace all the created creation; hence the name of the third one is Fate, from which there is no escape, nor separation, forever ……

“(17) Zarathustra (asked): Is evil, evil; is good, good? I’hua’Mazda. said: Evil is evil to man, but evil is not to Ormazd. Good is good to man; but good is not good to Ormazd. Only two conditions are before Ormazd, that which man calleth evil is unripe; to Ormazd, that which man calleth good is ripe. (19) Without green fruit, none could be ripe; without evil, none could be good. (After the Creation, all things were set in motion): And those at the front were called All Good, and those at the rear were called all evil. (This seems to be an excellent conception of evolutionary progress upward, in which the three selves of the man grow from the Aunihipili stage through to that of the Aumakua. A little farther along we find a line which seems to fit the three self or three stage growth of Huna after a fashion. We read: “And the time of the creation was as a time, and a time, and a time, and without measure …… (Ch. X. 4. “Three in one, O Zarathustra: Father, Mother and Son; Ormazd, the ghost of things; Mi, the seen and unseen, and Vivanho, the expression of things. And (he created them) in the likeness of Himself, with three entities, embraced in one; which are, first the ghost, the soul, which is incomprehensible; second, the beast, the figure, the person, which is called the individual; and, third, the expression, to receive and to impart.”

I think we have a few HRAs who are Huna Faithists, and I would welcome any information from them concerning a possible belief in what we have found in Huna concerning the “graduation” into the Aumakua level which is accompanied by the reuniting of the Adam and Eve parts of the man. In the index of Oahspe I do not find the word “Union”, and have failed in a hurried search to turn up anything which points even vaguely toward the Huna belief in Union as uncovered by the use of the Code in understanding the inner teachings of the Four Gospels, Perhaps the communicating spirits did not put the secret knowledge in Oahspe (supposing they knew it). On page 469, lower, (7) one reads: And in time to come I (Jehovih?) will provide teachers, and the Faithists shall have the right to obtain knowledge. (The secret knowledge, one may suppose.)

Incidentally, my P.A. reading for Dr. Newbrough fits him well as a man of good intentions and falling in terms of degree in the “mediumistic level”. I get the will pattern at 1:30 o’clock, the circle clockwise and slightly flattened with axis at 11 o’clock. The degree is 347. For the book itself I seem to read the spirit communicators, getting a V will pattern, and a counterclockwise circle, with the degree only 301.

P.A. READINGS for STEINMETZ AND EINSTEIN were made at the request of one of the HRAs, who sent an excellent picture of them standing together, reproduced in a magazine. As many others will be interested, I give the readings as I got them.

Steinmetz, the cripple who, in 30 years, patented over 200 inventions made for General Electric. He had a normal, clockwise and constructive will and Aunihipili personality pattern. 385 degrees. Aumakua 524 degrees.

Albert Einstein, famous for his discoveries in the field of Physics, had a similar constructive pattern but a little lower degree, this standing at 384. His Aumakua was also a degree lower, standing at 523.

Some future day when the P.A. method has been well developed and put to general use, boys and girls with such readings will be given special opportunities for developing their natural talents and putting them to use for the benefit of the world at large – for the addition of new knowledge to the world store.

ONE OF THE GREATEST MYSTERIES is called to my attention by one of the HRAs who has been in the work for years. He writes that he is willing to concede that our ideas about the nature and origin of the Jesus concept may be wrong and that Massey might be right. However, he says, “What puzzles me is how the Christian religion got its start, if there was not some unusual man or circumstance behind it. Could it have grown by leaps and bounds just because of Paul and a few other writers of that time? What inspired them to preach in the face of persecution? It is more logical to believe that there was a great person behind it all. Perhaps Nature produces a perfect being every so often. Perhaps Jesus was such a one and did wonderful things, maybe even overcoming death … I think we should hesitate before casting out Jesus althogether (as an historical entity?). Are you not being a little inconsistent? In some of your writings you picture Jesus as a great kahuna, in others you say that the whole thing is a fake, that he never existed.”

MY REPLY is that I did not start out with the Huna information all complete. Research has turned up ever new angles. What I inclined to think a few years ago may be quite different from what I now have been forced by accumulated information to believe. As to the necessity for having a great man to establish a great religion, I would say that it is not the man but the STORY of such a man which is needed as the starting point of a great religion. The Great Mystery to me is how and why men suddenly freeze up mentally when they accept a certain story or set of beliefs. We have today the same fanaticism and the same resistance to any idea contrary to what has in some way been accepted as “word of God” or utter and final Truth. In the same way that I answered HRA Dr. Westlake’s objection to my latest conclusions (made at the end of research into Huna and the things uncovered by the CODE), I say again, be patient with me and give me time to get my book into your hands so that you can see the basis upon which I built my present tentative conclusions concerning the historicity of Jesus. After that we can argue with all materials open before us for comparison and all ideas open to examination in the light of our findings instead of in the light of personal opinions.

THE ABERREE magazine, which has so often been happily mentioned in the Huna Vistas in the past, ran into trouble a few months ago. It was put out by Alphia and Alice Hart with many contributing to the articles, and covered a general field of occultism, religion, psychology and debunking of aspects in “Scientology”, as started by L. Ron Hubbard and run into the ground in the opinion of all too many of us. THE ABERREE has been a delightful little magazine, printed expertly by offset, and with the subscription only a token of $2 a year.

The trouble came when Alphia was laid low with a stroke and Alice could not carry on alone. He was for some time in a very serious condition in the hospital, and I did not report it in the H.V. as I did not know just what his condition was or what might be done. Now, I am pleased to be able to report that Alphia is slowly responding to therapy in a Veterans Hospital, and can walk as much as 20 steps, although his left arm is still of little use. Alice closed down the main office of their letter and mimeograph business and moved the machines to her home to carry on the business end as well as she can alone. Meantime, Tom ONeil, editor and publisher of THE PSYCHIC OBSERVER (Drawer 90, Southern Pines, No. Car., Subscription $3. 50 a year) came to the rescue and helped avoid the thing that haunts the men of small bulletin and other types of publication – the danger of suddenly being unable to keep the Journal going and fill out subscriptions which have been paid in advance. The ABEREE WAS PUBLISHED IN FULL AND IN THE VERY SAME FORMAT IN THE PSYCHIC OBSERVER, and may continue to be. Blessings be! MFL
