    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the fllm is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

  • Mana for a New Age Rachel Morgain
    11 Mana for a New Age Rachel Morgain From chakra healing to African drumming, sweat lodges to shamanic journeys, New Age movements, particularly in North America, are notorious for their pattern of appropriating concepts and practices from other spiritual traditions. While continental Native American and Asian influences are perhaps most familiar as sourcing grounds for New Age material, the traditions of Pacific Islanders, particularly Hawaiians, have not escaped New Age attention. In particular, the movement known as ‘Huna’ has introduced Hawaiian-sounding words and concepts to the New Age vocabulary. Chief among these is the concept of ‘mana’, controversially subsumed within what is often a large laundry list of non-western religious and philosophical nomenclature, under the generic category of ‘energy’ or ‘life force’. Continually adapted through succeeding generations of Huna teachings, and further adopted into sections of the related contemporary Pagan movement through the tradition known as ‘Feri’, the concept of ‘mana’ displays some consistent themes across these traditions, quite different from its meaning in Hawaiian contexts. In being adopted into these movements, it has been transformed to fit within a field of ideas that have developed in western esoteric traditions from at least the late eighteenth century. In this chapter, I trace some of the ideas that have come to be attached to the concept of mana through several iterations of New Age movements in North America. Beginning with the foundational 285 NEW MANA works of Max Freedom Long, I look at the spiritual practice known as Huna, popularised from the late 1930s through a series of Long’s texts and his Huna Research organisation.

  • Huna Kane Des Training
    Huna Kane Practitioner Certification Training – Add a Powerful Modality to Your Healing Arts! Huna Kane (pronounced 'hoonah kahnay') is a form of healing grounded in ancient Hawaiian Huna wisdom. Huna means secret and kane means man or spirit man. Huna Kane means “the inner knowing of your Higher Self” -- your inner Spirit. Connecting with your Higher Self allows for the re-awakening of your spiritual abilities and gifts. Huna Kane strengthens, balances and unites the intuitive and logical minds. Clients often have revelations, and they leave the sessions feeling harmony, balance, and peace. The practitioner meditates on a set of symbols from the Kofutu Touch Healing system (www.Kofutu.com). This allows for the client to access a state of mind that encourages spiritual development and the opportunity to align with their highest potentials. It is common for clients to become aware of visions, ideas, and insights about their life situations and how they can take action to make desired changes. The energy balancing is enhanced by the Dance of Creation – an energy technique applied to the body with a spiral motion of the forearm. This clears fear patterns, tension, and stress from the body and mind. Old emotions and beliefs that were stored throughout the body transform into positive thoughts that are based on universal truths. The process opens the flow of Universal Life Force Energy; allowing connection with one’s true essence. People feel relaxed, as the energy flow in and around the body is re-established. Huna Kane was originally practiced on Hawaiian royalty, so that kings and queens could be fully clear prior to their coronation.

  • The Consciousness of Plants
    The Consciousness of Plants wakeup-world.com /2015/05/26/the-consciousness-of-plants/wuw_paginate/disabled/ By Paul Lenda Guest Writer for Wake Up World Plant consciousness is evidenced by the process of bio-communication in plant cells, which means that plants are sentient life forms that feel, know, and are conscious. The scientific field of neurobiology has been effective in demonstrating plant consciousness. Consciousness exists in everything, but manifests itself in different ways. With the reality that all matter is energy vibrating at different frequencies, it is reasonable to say that all matter has consciousness in its unique way, since all matter comes from the same source and is comprised at its basics level of the same building blocks. This universal principle can be seen in DNA consciousness as well, and is true for any state of energy – be it a solid, liquid, gas or plasma – manifest as plant, animal, human, crystalline or higher-dimensional life forms. Plants communicate just through feeling. They are purely feeling beings, they do not even know what “thinking” is (except to the extent that they can get a taste of what “thinking” means when they connect with a human). You have to get in touch with your own feelings in the moment in order to communicate with a plant. You have to be there in the moment and be aware of what you are feeling right then when you are in contact with the plant. Not the feelings about what is going on yesterday and tomorrow, but the feelings of Now, in the present moment.

  • A POLYNESIAN PSYCHO-RELIGIOUS SYSTEM 1. Huna Psychology: an Introduction
    HUNA: A POLYNESIAN PSYCHO-RELIGIOUS SYSTEM as elucidated by Max Freedom Long I (P.W.Warren) first learned of the work of Long in the late 1950’s reading The Secret Science Behind Miracles and was completely “blown away.” I used it (in the mid 1960’s) as part of a course on Para-psychology at a Catholic University and, as a result, was “rejected” by both branches of fundamentalism (Scientific materialism of the psychology department head and Religion by the dean of education). As a result, I was “de-hired” and forced to seek employment elsewhere. I offer it here as an example of “paleo science and technology.” The movement is very much alive now at Huna Research, Inc. At the end of this article there is information on a recent application of these principles called Ho'oponopono [ http://hooponopono.org/index.html ]. 1. Huna Psychology: An Introduction Extracted from Huna Research, Inc: http://www.angelfire.com/mo/huna/ Huna™ is not an "occult" system -- that is, hidden from all but a few "favoured" adherents or "initiates." It is based on knowledge of human psychology and of how the various parts of the human personality function. When you learn how the psyche works, you will be able to see how it functions properly and with the greatest effectiveness. Huna emphasizes normal living in every way and makes everyday life more livable. In times of stress, Huna offers effective relief in any situation. As Max Freedom Long put it, "If you are not using Huna, you are working too hard!" 1.1.

  • Models of the Mind
    MODELS OF THE MIND Adam Crabtree 1 THE HUNA THREE-SELF MODEL OF THE MIND HIGH SELF Awareness Barrier MIDDLE SELF Awareness Barrier Body LOW SELF 2 THE HUNA THREE-SELF MODEL Huna is the name used to designate the magico/religious system developed in Hawaii. This system was studied by Max Freedom Long over many years and he published several books describing its theory and practice. Because he could not get a clear picture of the Huna approach from native Hawaiians, Long studied the language for the names used to represent their magic. Long discovered that Huna believes there are three spirits or selves in each person. They are called the Low Self, the Middle Self and the High Self, and Long concluded that they correspond roughly to the subconscious, the conscious, and the superconscious. The Low Self is seen as a kind of animal spirit in the human being. It is defective in reason. It is the seat of emotion and of memory. It is also subject to suggestion and tends to automatically accept the convictions of the Middle Self. The Low self has a sticky shadowy body that adheres to things. It connects to others by 'aka' threads that are sticky. Once a thread has been strung between a person and someone else, it cannot be shaken off, so that the two are from that time, for good or evil, connected. Over this thread can be transmitted thoughts, feelings, even chemical substances and jolts of magnetic energy. The Low Self is the source of psychic abilities, like mind reading, telepathy, clairvoyance, psychokinesis, and astral travel.

  • The Huna Philosophy and 'Objective Observations'
    Syntropy 2013 (2): 145-169 ISSN 1825-7968 The Huna philosophy and ‘Objective Observations’ John F. Caddy1 Abstract The perspective offered by Max Freedom Long on the ancient Hawaiian philosophy referred to as ‘Huna’, is that the conscious and subconscious mind were viewed as separate ‘souls’ or psychic entities, receiving occasional inputs from a superconscious mind, usually external to the body. Assuming this perspective, apparently ‘objective’ outputs result when the subconscious is interrogated, as is the case when dowsing. The outputs from dowsing have to be deduced from the behavior of the dowsing wand which is controlled by the subconscious. The characteristic perceived by the conscious mind is their intensity, as judged by the number of rotations observed in response to a question. A few examples of this approach are presented in dowsing the vital energy content of words and phrases. It is concluded that science uses words with low to moderate energies (the Band of Rationality) which avoid emotional impacts on rational processes, while spiritual themes, sacred names and principles, are generally high in energy, apparently irrespective of personal beliefs. This implies access by the superconscious to extracorporeal information sources such as the Implicate Order. The energy readings for phrases or sentences generally reflect the overall impact and intention of the phrase rather than energy readings of its component words. Introduction This paper considers how the conscious mind gains access to the memory sources of the subconscious, and in particular, the vital energy content of our language. It can be visualized to do so within the context of the ancient shamanic philosophy of Huna that prevailed in Hawaii prior to the colonization of those islands (Freedom Long 1948).

  • Hawaiian at Heart” and Other Fictions
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ScholarSpace at University of Hawai'i at Manoa “Hawaiian at Heart” and Other Fictions Lisa Kahaleole Hall Who’s a Hawaiian? When the Hawaiian people lost our national sovereignty through the ille- gal invasion and overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawai‘i in 1893 and our subsequent annexation by the United States of America in 1898, we also lost control over the meaning of “Hawaiian” identity. In the forcible trans- formation from nation to American colony to American state, the mean- ing of “Hawaiian” became ambiguous, as residents of the Territory of Hawai‘i, and then of the state, began to be called “Hawaiian” along with the indigenous Hawaiian people. The terms “Native Hawaiian” and “Känaka Maoli” are often used today to ensure accurate recognition of who is being discussed, but “Native Hawaiian” carries its own colonial baggage. In 1993, on the 100th anniversary of the overthrow, the United States Congress issued a Joint Senate Resolution apologizing for the US role in the overthrow and admitting that “the indigenous Hawaiian people never directly relinquished their claims to their inherent sovereignty as a people or over their national lands to the United States, either through their mon- archy or through a plebiscite or referendum.” President Bill Clinton signed the measure on 23 November 1993 as Public Law 103–150, declaring that the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawai‘i on 17 January 1893 had been illegal; that it had occurred with the participation of agents and citizens of the United States; and that it had suppressed the inherent sovereignty of the Native Hawaiian people and deprived Native Hawaiians of our rights to self-determination.
