May-June, 1968

Foretelling the Future

 

YOUR. P.A. READING FOR THE DAY, and for your check and practice, is the one I have made from pictures in “Time Magazine” for April 26th of Eric Starvo Galt, also known earlier as James Earl Ray. He is thought by the F.B.I. to be the murderer of the negro leader, Martin Luther King. The reading I got was identical for all three pictures, each taken at a different date starting with the prison picture of 1952 and ending with the one of 1968. I read:  with 262 degrees. If this is the actual killer, his reading shows that he is obsessed and is naturally destructive in Will at 11 o’clock and in personality circle, as indicated by his counterclockwise circle. The obsession is indicated in the “trident” Will pattern of swings. His degree and that of the evil spirit read with him, is almost the same, the spirit being 261 and also lying in the level of low intelligence and of craftiness. He was described by a prison warden as, “extremely dangerous, coldblooded and ruthless.” This description fits the reading well.

Trying a little map dowsing to see if I could get an intimation as to where this subject is hiding out, I centered on the region around Chicago although his presence had just then been reported in Mexico (and since that denied).

SPEAKING OF A MAP DOWSING: A stranger called recently, saying he had heard that I was good with a pendulum, and asked me if I could try to locate a girl of 14 who had vanished from her Riverside, Calif. home six weeks earlier and of whom no trace had been found. He had with him a photo of her and a lock of her hair to use in any dowsing effort.

I explained that I was a P.A. dowser and little more, but allowed myself to be persuaded to see what I could do. First I read the girl’s P.A., finding that while she was normal and constructive as to her Auhane, her Aunihipili was destructive, the personality circle being counterclockwise. Her degree level was not high at 268. ( 268 degrees.) I tested next to see whether she were dead or alive, and got a strong clockwise circle, showing that she was alive and well. From the fact that her Aunihipili was counter clockwise, I gave it as my opinion that she might have run away from home or left of her own accord, although there was no record of trouble at home or school, and although she had no lover or known friend to accompany. The caller said that a woman psychic had said she was still in the vicinity of her home, so I took a map and dowsed that region. The results were negative. I ranged over the the whole of the North American continent, but finally got my best indication (a weak vertical swing) well north of Los Angeles in the country back of Santa Barbara. The caller promised to let me know when the girl was found just where she had been and so help me check my budding map dowsing ambitions.

SEEING INTO THE FUTURE

THE NEW HRAs who find us and join up from time to time are often much puzzled by what they read in their first copies of the Huna Vistas. One new member wrote: “I have never thought that cards, Tarot or other, could work. This, especially, since the High Selves do not seem to know the entire run of the future. Am I wrong? Do you have any ideas as to the process by which they work? You do seem to give them credit for validity. “

I was shocked into the realization that anyone who had not been with us for some time, and who had not seen the Tarot readings coming along in the bulletins, must, at least at first glance, feel that Huna research in our hands had turned to fortune telling and smelled slightly of raw superstition.

I am unable to recall the places in my books or the bulletins in which this subject has been discussed in all its aspects, so (as promised to the new member of our august research body) I will try to pontificate.

First off, let me say that there are many instances well enough known to let us say that the future can, at times, be seen very clearly. If this is possible, as it certainly seems to be, the next question is, what part of the man senses the future state?

In my earlier writings I have reported my conclusions after delving into the subject. I cannot recall saying that the Aumakua cannot see into the future except to a limited degree, although I may have so stated. The Huna theory seems to be that the future is plotted very roughly, with only the major events placed – and with all the space in time in between left to be filled in by the turn of events and the hit and miss changes made by men and elements. One has to believe that some major events are planned and “set” well in advance, otherwise we are all at loss to explain how certain psychics have been able to foresee in detail certain happenings.

Having arrived at this conclusion, the kahunas and other wise students of the world of mind and of Super Mind were confronted by the fact that if they agreed that every event had been “set” in the endless future (there to await our visions or to await the progress of time in catching up), we would take away from men all semblance of free will and make him a helpless pawn in a game being played by the Ultimate God. This would run counter to the simple fact that we seem to observe daily: the fact that man is allowed to decide on what he will do next and how he will do it. The argument has been rejected, the argument that in the “mind of God” all things must be known, therefore a man cannot decide –  no matter how hard he may try –  to make a decision which would not have been known ahead of time.

Predestination has been argued about endlessly, and the middle road seems to be the most reasonable – the belief that man has free will to act and can make his own decisions, BUT that some Entity with a far superior kind of thinking or sensing ability has the power to look ahead and know what the decisions will be – at least the major ones. Looking for such an Entity, we are forced to guess that the Aumakua has powers superior to those of the Auhane or Aunihipili, or, if that is not high enough, we can specify a range of god-like Entities, always going higher and always with improving powers to behold the future.

In my book, SSBM I have belabored this question and the possibility that time is not the steady flow that it seems to be, but may be here in its completeness at any moment  and subject to our psychic investigation when it holds a record of future events. I believe I have said that the Aumakua is probably our best bet when it comes to a search for an accessible higher Entity from whom we may get, at times, glimpses of the future which it can see. The time juggling offers little to help us, especially as we would have to mix in with time something like the akasha of Theosophy – our aka substance – on which events would in some way make a lasting impression which could later be sensed by a psychic. The making of such a recording demands some form of consciousness to direct, and some form of energy or mana to implement the action, and the assignment of the future seeing to the Aumakua obviates these difficulties because it already has the three necessary ingredients at hand.

If we accept the idea that the future can be seen to a limited degree far ahead and to a greater extent for the nearer events, and that we get our psychic impressions from the Aumakua, then we need to know the mechanism of the transfer. Only Huna offers a mechanical explanation – that of getting the visual impression of  the future events through the mediation of the Aunihipili and its contact with the Aumakua via the aka cord of connection. The explanation is rather simple, but putting the method to work is complicated and difficult. First the Aunihipili must act on  its own to get and give us visions of the future from its Aumakua (or other source?). The “getting” remains the heart of the mystery, but the receiving may come in a dream of sorts.

Then there is the method so dear to my heart, that of using a “crutch” to help the Aunihipili to get across information indirectly. If I could use a crystal ball I might get the impression visually, but otherwise I must rely on the pendulum or on the Tarot Cards and the fact that with the latter the Aunihipili seems to have done a fair job of learning to get the needed information, then in some way influencing the cuts and spreads and breaks of the cards so that cards with proper meanings will turn up for me, the conscious mind or Auhane, to read and interpret. In this process there may well be a certain amount of intuition used to give the correct reading –  intuition again given through the Aunihipili, or provided directly by it. This “hunch” ingredient in “running the cards” has always been of value to me, but there is always the danger that one’s imagination may be at work and that what seems to have been a heaven sent interpretation is nothing of the kind.

A woman in San Diego has recently come out with a book in which she makes the claim that her Tarot predictions are scientific in basis and satisfactory in results. In her book she advises working the Tarots over to give the individual majors and minors special and exact meanings. These can make up a very long list and, I believe, she also considers the prophetic meanings of two or more cards falling in a given order. (One of the experienced HRAs is testing out this system at length, and at a considerable expenditure of time and effort. He may have a report for us one fine day. )

That I have given the impression in the bulletins that I “do seem to give them validity”, I would not deny. But perhaps I should invent a stock phrase to put before every reading I report for the amusement or edification of the HRAs. I might say “Believe this at your peril. It is of the stuff of psychism and therefore may or may not be valid to any degree. Take with as many grains of salt as the prediction may seem to demand.” I have “run the Tarots” for years, developing my own system and meanings gradually, and polishing hard all the time on the “hunch” part of the operation. The reason I tend to have at least a partial belief in the accuracy of the predictions  – as I make them –  is that in the past years they have so often come out startlingly true. The main trouble is that I can never be sure what is true and what is not. If this difficulty could be overcome, I would “have it made”.

Of course, the hunching business is wide open to any of you who read my hopefully presented readings. I may report something that you interpret by hunch or otherwise to give quite a different prediction. For instance, I have been coaxing my Aunihipili to find out and tell me via the cards just what is coming up for us in the matter of U.S.A. money and our financial conditions. In my predictions for the present year I said, “It appeared (from the cards) that something would go badly wrong with us financially and that Russia would in some way help us out. In the present indications, I believe that the aid to be given us by Russia is not in terms of money, but of example (setting an arbitrary value for its currency.)”

Here, as I write at the beginning of May, it begins to look from the trend of the news, that Russia is encouraging North Vietnam to talk peace. This would be the greatest thing that could be done to aid U.S.A. finances, as the war is bleeding us dry at a time when the never possessed of the land are demanding that billions be spent on them. The National Debt has been enlarged to the danger point by our many borrowings, and gold standard men in high places are threatening a collapse even greater than that which started the Depression. One of the HRAs wrote that he had attended a long day’s session in which money men and bankers (anyone who had $30 as admission fee) were told that the bottom was to fall out before the end of the year, the currency would be devalued, and that Government Bonds could then be purchased at half price. It was a most alarming prediction, and so I ran the Tarots to find out what they had to offer. They saw no such disaster, but repeated the cut for “change”, and fast change when it comes. The period appeared not too dangerous, but with the mysterious and unexpected still to come. As I write I hear on the news broadcast that President Johnson is proposing to Congress a further retreat from the gold standard and the use of a “paper standard” to create new money for use in meeting international obligations.

In running the Tarots for some of my friends down the years, I have noted something which should not go unmentioned. It is that a straight prediction is made through the cards and seems certainly all set to come true, but that before it can, an unexpected event  – such as unexpected illness –  comes and the whole picture is made to change. I think of this as an “accident” (to which the physical world is vulnerable) happening to throw off the prediction and cause a radical change in what would have normally taken place  – and which was seen as actually coming to pass.

The P.A. reading, on the other hand, while falling into the field of psychic activities, is really very different. Nothing about the future is involved in a reading unless we may say that when we read a normal and constructive man with a high degree standing, we naturally come to expect more and better things from him. This is interesting in the face of the changes being made in the personnel of the present U.S.A. presidential race. With President Johnson bowing out of the race, we now have Governor Rockefeller with his 377 degree standing the most likely candidate from the point of view of the Biometer. (I paused here in my paragraph to make a quick run for the various present candidates, and get only the impression that nothing is settled as yet, that almost anything can happen, and probably will, before the day when the votes are counted.)

Some time ago I reported my own efforts to work with the pendulum through my Aunihipili to get Guidance from my own Aumakua, as you more seasoned HRAs may recall. I seemed at the time to be instructed to try to organize us and our work so that we could have groups and find ways to enlarge and perpetuate the Huna research work, also to write another book. I tried to obey instructions on both of the counts. The organization effort fizzled and I decided that my Aunihipili had dug up the old hopes of 1948 and handed them to me warmed over. The little start on the book worked into more and more material and resulted in my writing Huna Code in Religions. Since then I have not been able to get what seemed to be dependable Guidance. I may have a submerged fear of the future blocking my efforts.

And, NOT TO FORGET SPIRITS, when speaking of predictions, we suspect them of influencing the pendulum betimes, especially if we are asking the Aunihipili to answer questions about the future. Whether the spirits can and will influence the way the cards fall, is a moot question, but I would not put it past some of them. In the use of the Ouija board and in automatic writing it is agreed that the spirits take over, (although some hold that the Aunihipili does it all). At very long intervals, through such means, and by voice in the case of the entranced medium, correct or nearly correct predictions have long been made. The time of an event is often given to the day, but this often is at fault although the main event predicted may be right. By the way, the Spiritualists are celebrating the 120th anniversary of the beginning of modern Spiritism, which began well after the witch burnings had ceased, in a town in New York State called Hydesville. The Fox sisters began it all, and since then the communication between the living and dead has become a recognized fact by the majority of people who have looked carefully into the matter. “Science”, of course, is still officially against psychic manifestations of any and all sorts, and even the amazing healing work presently being done in the Philippines (unless entirely stopped at this time by the authorities) leaves the Poobahs unmoved – except to possible anger.

PSYCHOMETRIC ANALYSIS

FOR YOUR P.A. PLAY of this issue let us have a look at what Psychometric Analysis will tell us of what it takes to make a writer of note. I have been watching all month for pictures of writers to be used for our readings. And, as they must be from a source which is available to the most of you, I have tried to stay with current journals which might be found in a good library should you take your favorite pendulum and betake yourself to one near you.

In “Westways”, published by the Auto Club of Southern California, issue of April, 1968, I came across a priceless article by Lawrence Clark Powell titled, “CALIFORNIA CLASSICS REREAD”. It had to do with famous western writers who became fairly well known, and two of whom I idolized as writers in my earlier days, placing them in my esteem beside Will Levington Comfort. The article is about Mary Austin, but in giving us two photos of her, one included Jack London, so I was able to read them both. Neither writer has yet joined the immortals, or are likely to do so. Their books are now long out of print and they are largely forgotten by the generations shaped so painfully by two World Wars. I am frankly plebeian in my literary tastes. I love finding words placed together in certain pleasant ways to express a thought which is pleasing to me or to describe something which I like to picture in my mind.

Mary Austin went Ace High on my list when I discovered that as a child she had discovered her Aumakua and came to know it and call upon it for help as “I Mary”, in contrast with her lesser self who was just “Mary”. Later in life she recognized this same Aumakua in the Paiute Indians’ “Friend of the Soul of Man”.

Let me quote a little from her Land of Journey’s Ending. She is describing an Indian ruin in a cave set high on a cliff before her. “Eagles mewing about the perilous footholds, great trees rooting where once slender ladders clung! … suddenly, high and inaccessible in the canyon wall, the sun picks out the little windows in the walls amid the smoke blue shadows, and you brush your eyes once or twice to make sure you do not see half naked men, deer and antelope laden, climbing up the banded cliff. ” Her Will pattern reads at 1 o’clock, constructive and normal and strong. Her Aunihipili circle is normal and clockwise and constructive. Her degree is 382. (She compares well with Willa Cather in reading.) She made few friends, but found something of interest in everyone she met. Everything, in fact, interested her because she was capable of a fine understanding of it, people or desert alike.

TO MY SURPRISE AND DELIGHT, I found that in reading from both of the pictures of Mary Austin, I got both the “Scientologist horizontal” swing for her Aunihipili and (following it) a good clockwise circle, 382. I take it that my Aunihipili has invented a way of telling me something new and different about people who have had some experience such as registers with the “clears”. Some change in them seems to be noted and passed on to me via the “crutch” of the pendulum.

In the case of Mary Austin we can be sure that she had no “running” such as is given in these later times to produce a “clear”. And, as we have from her own accounts of her life and the reports of others a rather complete account of what went to shape her, we can study her for intimations of the meaning of the horizontal swing.

Our “clears” so far, have not had a clockwise and normal circle following the horizontal swing in their readings. I am inclined at this point in the investigation to think that they have dragged from their Aunihipilis the hidden fixations and have faced them time after time until they were drained off or made powerless to force their typical reactions on the individual. In Scientology this is spoken of as clearing out the engram bank, and this task is the central point around which L. Ron Hubbard built his system, first as Dianetics, then as Scientology.

Reports have come in since requested in the last H.V., telling me of the way being a “clear” has seemed to affect known friends or acquaintances. The impression I get from these reports is that the typical “clear” has overcome his fixations and gained a rather stern control of his Aunihipili, but in the process has lost his kindliness, become a little ruthless, and has also lost his imagination –  imagination which makes for great painting and music instead of the precise and lifeless and mechanical.

If we study the life of Mary Austin we find that she had a desperate struggle to get along in her early life. In “Arizona Highways”, issue of April, 1968, another journalist, Nancy Newhall, has an article on Mary Austin, her life and her work. She tells us that Mary was “a lonely child, unwanted, who felt her mother turn away from her.” This formed a “rejection complex” which she seems to have overcome by self analysis, as she did other complexes later in life. She fought ill health and poverty and being left to make a living for herself and an idiot small daughter, she taught school in a small town and used all possible extra time to teach herself to write well enough to sell. The development of self control and the ability to concentrate her thoughts is well illustrated in the article when we are told that with the defective little daughter strapped into her chair, and keeping up a continual howling, Mary was able to pace the floor searching for just the right words to use in coining a phrase or giving the exact touch to a bit of description. Later, in meeting many serious challenges, she developed her self control. And, as she began to make a success of her writing, she began to show another characteristic observed very often in the “Clears”. She became dominating, impatient and stern. She criticized the writing of other authors and often got herself much disliked. Her friends, because of this driving trait, remained very few, even up to the end of her life, although she had a large number of acquaintances. And, she drove through by the hardest work to success. She was harder on herself than on others, and was always trying to use a new and different form or improve on what she had learned to use in her writing.

Dr. Brunler, to whom we are indebted for most of the P.A. system, once tried to find and test the signatures of well known people to see if they had grown in degree stature with the passing of years. For this he tested signatures written early and late in life. He found very few who had grown a little, the greatest growth recorded being for people who had suffered greatly in some way for years, with six degrees the greatest growth. If suffering itself caused growth, he could have found many whose degree had risen. But there seemed to be the necessity of a deep or inner growth which suffering had brought about. (Dr. Brunler did not speak or write about finding the other parts of a P.A. reading changed by the suffering or the jump in degree.)

In reading of the stormy progress through life of Mary Austin, we find the contact with the Aumakua made when as a child “she discovered God under a walnut tree”, and also the “I Mary” who would come when called and even help her cross the creek on a log which crossing always frightened her. This contact was of less help in later years, and she was forced to fight her own battles –  and did, successfully, but by the hardest struggles. That she was aware of her Aunihipili and watching it and dragging from it its hidden fixations, we can only guess. But we know that she owned a rosary and used it –  instead of telling the beads in the usual way,  to impress on her Aunihipili the steps she wanted to take in writing a certain part of a book or story. She said in later years that she had impressed on her subconscious in this way the exact thing she wanted, and that when the date she had set came, she sat down to write and the story “wrote itself”.

Cancer of the breast caught her in the midst of growing success, and, it is to be supposed, surgery was not advised at that early time. She was told that she had only a short time to live before the cancer would take her, and so, facing death, she decided that her long neglected interest in her own peculiar form of religion could be revived and made to give her some satisfaction. She had long suspected that there was more to the origin of Christianity than had been put into books, and went to Rome to gain entrance to the Vatican library and study the many old manuscripts housed there. She associated with nuns, and one of these taught her to pray her way through pain. She had “retreats” with nuns, and peered into her own depths with as much energy as she had been expending on her writing ….. finding one day, to her happy surprise, that the cancer had vanished. She went home and began to write again, but now included more and more of her religious experience in her work. (“Christ in Italy” and “Can Prayer Be Answered” are examples.)

Looking behind the scenes, Nancy Newhall, in her beautifully written and understanding article, gives us items which are most significant in our study of the circle that followed the horizontal swing in the P.A. I take the liberty of quoting:

Now, (as she grew old and increasingly ill) she found herself face to face with the ultimate problems of human existence: What is death? And what is the meaning of life? “The last thing I expected of death,” she wrote, “was to be afraid of it.”

Examining her fear, she found it to be a dread of being senseless – blind, deaf, dumb. “The thought that I should never again see the plumb blossoms storm the flanks of Pena Blanca, never again hear the drums of the Keres calling up the He-rain with its winghollows filled with evening blueness, smote me with an insupportable pang. I should like a little space to love the world before I leave it.” For Mary, no supernatural heaven or hell existed. More and more she had become a mystic, exploring religions, connecting them with myths or folklore, but never adopting any formal creed for herself. She made retreats among Catholic nuns, to restore her soul; she owned a rosary, but used it to tell her subconscious what she wanted to write, and how and when, so that at the allotted time, she said, “the stories wrote themselves. Now, in the light of all she had read, heard, and known along the rims of consciousness, she wrote Experiences Facing Death. And emerged with faith triumphant. “I have experienced the Presence of God but nowhere have I found or felt the dark.”

In the same spirit, she examined her own life, seeing, through the character of Mary Hunter Austin, vast panoramas in time and place, seeing the roots of her loneliness with compassion. She could write, “I have been true to the pattern and it has been true to me.” And called her autobiography Earth Horizon.

Feverish, dying, propped up in bed, often with a drain still in the wound of an operation, Mary was still writing, still valiant, still pouring forth her force. In the autumn of 1934, she appeared at a celebration called a Poets’ Roundup, and read before a crowd, suddenly hushed and awed, a few of the poems later published in When I Am Dead. In those last moments in the sun, Mary Austin reached a terrifying majesty.

Five days later she was dead. A friend on horseback scattered her ashes in the hills.

This year, 1968, marks the 100th anniversary of her birth. And, at this late date, thanks to the new findings via the P.A. readings, we may have come to a better understanding of her, and also of the strange readings of the “clears”. It appears that in the processing of a “clear” the little fixed reactions making for love and kindness get brought also to light and are subject to being drained off. The Aunihipili eventually stands stripped of its little humanizing elements so that the clear may be thought of as having lost his soul. Mary Austin must have realized this loss in her later years and gone in search of her soul –  finding it in tempering her ways and again coming to love and friendliness. Perhaps that is what lies ahead for the clears if and when they come to realize that in becoming cold, they are missing all the former warmth that made friends for them. I shall now begin to watch for a budding circle to follow the horizontal swing in reading clears, especially the older ones, (One more thing before we go on to other subjects. The reading for the Aumakua of Mary Austin was disappointingly low for one so far along in so many ways. It is only 539 degrees. She will, if we have this angle worked out correctly, have to reincarnate once or twice more to finish learning her lessons or evolutionary growth. But in her case, loving nature as she did, she would be only too pleased at the prospect of seeing again with bodily eyes her beloved deserts and mountains.)

Jack London, read from the same set of pictures, gave me the strong, constructive Will pattern and a good clockwise circle, but no horizontal swing. His Aumakua read only 530 degrees. He did not measure up to Mary’s standard, although he wrote well and had his high moments when toying with philosophy and playing with words. I have always loved his, “Never, so long as time shall last, will they (women) lay by the weaving of slow steps around the hearts of men.”

Will, and Ariel Durant, the writing team, have finished the 10th volume of their The Story of Civilization. He seems to have done most of the writing, while she had done research and got the material laid out in proper order. Pictures of them were found in “Modern Maturity”, issue of April May, 1968. Both read clockwise and constructive, but he at 363 degrees and she at 380. In this we see the easy writer and fine reporter backed by a helper who had the better vision and more balanced judgment. Their readings have not changed from early pictures to those taken very recently. Little wonder that, as a team, they turned out so many brilliant studies of historic settings and happenings.

Tellhard de Chardin, scientist of the Jesuit Order, is pictured in the April 20th issue of the “Saturday Review of Literature”. He has a constructive and normal reading of 367 degrees – the highest I have ever found for a man of the cloth. Little wonder the Church refuses to sanction his scientific views and theories. Too advanced.

Two Years Before the Mast, was very well and simply written in 1840 by Richard Henry Dana, Jr., and also became a classic of literature dealing [with] the American West. His photo appears with an article, also by Mr. Powell, in “Westways” for May, 1968. If Mary Austin revealed the valleys and hills, it was Richard Henry Dana, Jr, who gave me the seacoast, the western wall of America; mine as newly seen from offshore, looking landward”, writes Mr. Powell. The P.A. reading here is another example of the ability which seems to lie in the degree level between 377 and 383. I get 378 degrees.

Who will win the Peace in the Paris talks? We ask of the P.A. readings as the effort to settle the Vietnam war begins. I found pictures of the three proposed negotiators in the Los Angeles Times issue of May 4, 1968. Similar pictures should be printed in many journals as the talks get started, so these three gentlemen make a good testing ground for us and our pendulums. On our side we have W. Averell Harriman, old hand at such matters and who reads 379. Also Cyrus R. Vance, who has proven himself a very able man, and who reads 377 degrees. On the side of North Vietnam we have Xuan Thuy, a dedicated Communist and foreign minister of his country. He is well above average for men of his country, but will be at a disadvantage if we are to judge from his degree. If degree standings are considered, our U.S.A. side will have a great advantage. Xuan Thuy reads, 360. The paper says pronounce his name Foon Twee.

Dear Max:
……………    It seems amazing that no Clear – clearing supposedly increases the intelligence – has more than a 354 degree reading, which is not too high a reading for such. Can’t we get some signatures of clears before and after and read them? Could clearing beat down to that degree if one were in a higher level to start with? I am puzzled. Is clearing good for all?
(Signed) M.H.

In reply: That is an excellent response and help in the research. Now who can supply us with the before and after signatures to test? It would be most helpful to know whether the degree is raised or lowered, or whether 354 is the norm for all who are taken with the idea of getting to be clear or whether my readings have become stuck in a rut and my Aunihipili is giving me what it has come to think is the right degree for any and all clears.

The subject of blood transfusions came up recently in my correspondence with one of the HRAs in San Francisco who has had transfusions. I ran his signature and got the usual 378 for him, then asked my Aunihipili if it could trace through him donors of the blood used in the transfusions. After a little delay I got two different readings, both lower in degree by far, and one with a counter clockwise Aunihipili circle. ( 363 and 351). It is most satisfactory to learn through this experiment that our own selves are not affected by the transfusions and that we can absorb and use the whole blood without harmful results in terms of our own readings. The selves, I would say, are spirits, and are not part of the physical vehicle or subject to change when it changes. True, some poisons in the system seem to cause mental difficulties, as in the case of sane patients being injected with plasma from those with “split personalities” or obsession – cases in which temporary production of similar symptoms are noted. However, even if a person has a bad tooth and becomes temporarily insane from the absorbed poisons, the recovery finds the same old selves once more functioning normally. Hearts and things also seem absorbed.

IS THE HEALING POWER MANA? HRA S.L., writes from Australia about a man who made an interesting series of experiments. Let me quote part of the letter.

“The Rev. P. Youlden-Johnsonin in his book, Healing Fingers, states that he has healed people 150 miles away. On page 108 he tells how he wrestled with the problem of proving that the healing power was a real force – a proof which would confound the skeptics. He picked upon a thermometer: Holding his fingers 3 inches from the bulb he directed the ‘Pranic current’ towards the bulb filled with a red fluid. For a time nothing happened, then suddenly the temperature began to rise. In all it rose 11 1/2 degrees. He repeated the experiment before seven witnesses who said they were satisfied when the thermometer rose 5 degrees and was still rising. I wonder if our fellow Huna researchers could experiment and see the results, they achieve?”

Mana, or the Theosophical “Prana”, appears to be able to control heat and cold in fire-walking and seance room hot/cold phenomena. Mme. David-Neil, in her books tells of seeing men in Tibet taking their test for a high standing in certain orders by sitting beside a frozen lake in the dead of winter, wrapped in a sheet wet with ice water. They had to control their pranic forces to create bodily heat enough to keep them warm and at the same time dry out the sheet. If they did this successfully, they had passed that initiation. In India certain cults use fire-walking as a test of purity and inner growth. Successful walks on hot coals prove one advanced to a certain stage, usually allowing him to become a priest of the Agni order. Once they become priests, they may try to use fire and fire-walking ceremonies in the healing of the needy and suffering. Hindus in Fiji were observed carefully by former HRA George Sandwith some years ago. He was not greatly impressed with the the results, but was with the fire-walking and fire-handling. This cult worshiped the Goddess Mariana. (George went Subud and we lost him.) (By the way, has anyone heard of Subud and the groups doing “latihans”, lately?)

HRA, “Ikey” Stone, of California, is a Huna-Dianetics-Scientologist hyphenate who has had much “running” and whose P.A. reading shows both the clockwise circle and the Scientology horizontal swing at 369 degrees (interestingly well above the 354 degree for clears which I have been getting.) She wrote:

“As one who IS one, I decided that I’d better make some comments about your readings of dianeticists and scientologists. I’ve had a great deal of processing in both modes, and I think I can help a little to clarify what puzzles you. But even before that, I must express a regret that I never had a chance to process you. Your one and only session must have been with a very poor auditor! (He was at work very early in the development of Dianetics, and was then considered one of the best. mfl) Good auditors always make you so happy with the results that you want more of the same.

“According to Hubbard, the founder of both, we are a reactive mind, a computer machine, and a Thetan. The reactive mind always thinks in similarities, an A-A-A=A type of thought, wherein if during an operation for removal of tonsils one’s doctor was red headed, and if one later, in hopes of physical improvement, takes a course in scientology and is processed in group  processing for hours daily by a redheaded man (who is going to make you well mentally and spiritually, so is the ‘doctor’) the reactive mind ‘drags up’ the first situation, making one’s throat so irritated that he coughs – coughs – coughs to the extreme annoyance of everyone around!!! The reactive mind therefore, according to L. Ron Hubbard, is the villain that makes us aberrated, by confusing our times for us. The example I give is from my own experience, and when, with no processing but simply by using my computer (my conscious awareness and intelligence), I stopped annoying everyone because I didn’t have to cough any more! Okay, so according to Ikey Stone, the reactive mind is equivalent to the Aunihipili; the Thetan is the Aumakua, which is also our own supremely high beingness, from which most of us are so cut off that it is like another and separate personality, with which most of us are seldom in communication – if ever. Or, shall we say: the Emoter and Doer, the body and intelligence that runs it; the Thinker; and the Knower. I have never agreed with LRH that the reactive mind is all bad, for if it is the sub- or un-consciousness, it is also very smart and keeps us in good repair if we work along with it, and [it] knows how to heal wounds, etc.

“If I haven’t lost you, then we go on to this: processing by dianetics and scientology methods helps eliminate all the blocks to our own communication with our (spirit obsession not yet. mfl) own past experiences, which are then deconditioned by repetitive re-experiencing. Thus one produces a ‘clear’. I have seen but one of the new crop of clears, and I did not consider him to be one I would call clear, in fact, I have seen many people who become clearer and clearer, but have yet to see one single person I could wholeheartedly consider a real clear. However, the definitions of clear change from time to time. I have had little contact with ‘the field’ the last decade, as I am semi-retired, as of 1954, and did so completely about 1964. A clear is one who no longer has aberrative material in his reactive mind to push him around – as Hubbard says – so he has no reactive mind. Perhaps when the compulsive materials are gone, and so the A-A=A effect is greatly diminished, the animal aspects of the person’s nature also tend to remove themselves, thus apparently leaving him without an Aunihipili! Although, as you say, something is still running the millions of intricate bits of machinery in the body. And perhaps when one comes to a clear realization that he IS a Thetan, and grows more and more conscious of his own spiritual attributes and possibilities, he no longer seems to have an Aumakua.

“About the degree level: long ago I decided I would not work with any really stupid people if I could possibly avoid it; it is so frustrating to expose to view the aberrations that are costing him or her tranquility, etc., and then find them unable to recognize it even when it is plain before them – of course when repetitively deconditioned it does improve the I.Q., but a person too stupid to see that such and such an incident is what may be impeding him is also going to be extremely uncooperative about going through it again and again. So it takes much hard slogging and results are poor. Whereas the person with intelligence is rewarded with great gains …. and his auditor with a great and wonderful glow of accomplishment. Auditors are absolutely forbidden to evaluate for their pre-clears, so for the stupid ones, alas, you can’t say, ‘Look, can’t you see it’s so and so that’s done so and so to you?’ No – the very dull and stupid should just go to a good counselor, who can tell them what to do and then hope they’ll have brains enough or will enough to be able to do it. As you simply cannot make gains and progress without some I.Q. to begin with, and as this I.Q. grows and grows and grows as you detach your ‘attention units’ from the old and hidden incidents you have been clinging to, naturally most people who have had had a fair amount of processing have high I.Q.’s.” (Thanks Ikey, MFL)

Now, what we need is a set of signatures written before, during and after the course of processing, so that we can make P. A. readings to see if the rise in the I.Q. is registered as a rise in degrees biometric. Anyone able to supply such a set of signatures from someone not yet a clear? Photos taken at similar intervals should also do if one tells one’s Aunihipili to read the person for the time of the writing of the signatures or taking of the pictures, NOT for the present standing.

The Adorable Woodswoman, or “Sasquatch” or “Bigfoot”, whose P.A. was given as 213 degrees in H.V. 82, has attracted much attention, but no further sightings have been reported. Australian HRA, L.J., writes, “I have often wondered how far up the human scale our Aborigines are. They are very childlike and timid and primitive. They are very ‘weak’ in our way of life but have been able to survive in a harsh country for, some say, 25,000 years.”

I hunted up the book, Living Magic, by Ronald Rose and checked the P.A. readings I had made of several Abo men pictured in it. Two were “clever men” or what would pass for kahunas with the Hawaiians. Both men showed the swing to 12 0’clock on the chart face, then at 1:30. Both were clockwise in circle and so were constructive. One stood at 257 degrees, the other at 267. Two lay members of two tribes gave constructive and non-hypnotist readings, their degrees being 254 in one case and 253 in the other. I would judge that they are not far advanced, but in hypnotism and psychic powers they do very well. Rose says their healing magic is very effective – also their killing magic when they “point the bone” at a victim.

The artist, Miss Kristin Zambucka, of New Zealand, wrote last year that she had been into the interior sketching Abos and studying them. Knowing Huna from my writings, she was able to make a comparison. Let me quote from her letter.

“While talking to Aboriginal Elders near Alice Springs, I discovered that they believe ‘that each fella habin three spirits …. and some habbin four.’ (If one is partly obsessed he could be said to have four. mfl.) ‘His yowee, equivalent to our soul, nebber leavin his body when he bin alive.’ (This would have to be the Aunihipili. mfl). ‘His Doowee is apparently a dream spirit. His Nlullowil, a shadowy spirit. His Yunbeai is an animal spirit. ‘Doowee bin leabin dat fella’s body while he sleepin. More better he sleep wid his mouth shut.’

“Only the dream spirits of the tribal witch doctor or Wireenun, will do as they are ordered. (Astral travel? mfl.) He controls his Dream Spirit and sends it where he pleases, to do as it is ordered. (This spirit is sent to find out things at times with the aid of a trance  like condition in which the clever man looks into a piece of rock crystal – his ‘crystal ball’. mfl)

“No one can live without his Mullowil or Shadow. (Our aka body. Egyptians had a similar belief.mfl.) Everyone’s shadow must be guarded from one’s enemies, as injury to one’s shadow affects himself. The shadow of the Wireenum – doctor – is always taboo. So is his head. Anyone who dares touch either is severely punished.”

Rose, on page 168 of his book, discusses the use of hypnosis by the clever men. I quote: “But hypnotism is capable of producing some extraordinary effects, and any difference between the hypnotism we know and the hypnotism that may be practiced by aborigines may not be in kind but merely in degree. One of the aspects we had constantly to bear in mind was that if hypnotism were to be invoked to explain such phenomena as the magic cord and other aspects of the displays that clever men give at initiation time, then mass hypnotism would probably be involved. (To make the people of the audience believe that they saw things they did not. mfl.) Mass hypnotism is a term much abused – for an art little understood. If an operator takes a large group of subjects …. roughly only a fifth will fall readily into a deep trance state. (Rose goes on to say that the Aboriginals are far more suggestible than we are, but his examples of some of the things done by the native doctors cannot so easily be explained away. mfl.)

THE hours for the sittings of our Telepathic Mutual Healing Group, at 3 and 7 PM, California time, have changed with the coming in late April of daylight savings time. I set my clocks forward an hour. If you are tuning in, and I hope you can, adjust your time accordingly.  MFL
