Huna - Max Freedom Long - Growing Into Light

Huna: Growing Into Light, by Max Freedom Long

How to Grow into Huna, using exercises and affirmations.
(Cover Photo: Howard Ignatius)

I believe that you need what most of us need at one time or another in our approach to Huna. This is something to keep the low self as well as the middle self thinking progressively along Huna lines day by day. It means absorbing the great truths, putting them gradually to work, so that they become a part of one in the course of a few months.

Yes, I will gladly share with you the thoughts and ideas that have helped me to grow into Huna. I will give you the exercises and the affirmations which I have used, and I shall also try to be very simple in all that I have to say-but this will be hard. Only the very great have been able to attain simplicity, and I am not in that category. However, I have learned to see that when I encounter a smoke screen of long words, arguments, and pretensions to superior wisdom, the writer who has had the temerity to appoint himself to teach others is too often far from being great.

One thing alone I will ask of you: that you keep in mind the fact that I am not a teacher, and that what I may now believe to be the last word in true understanding may have to be changed later on, as the search progresses. I am a student trying to share with you what I have learned and am learning-what I have glimpsed as a bright vision of the things which may still be learned in the fullness of time.

When life is almost perfect - and you've gotten everything everyone else wants...


The usual question you have to ask is: What's Next?

It came to me this am, waking from a dream which prompted a blog post (at 3am) - that I really already had the Three Big Things which almost everyone would give about anything to get:
  1. Happiness
  2. Abundance
  3. Great Relationships
And of course, those together could define Freedom.

(Oh, and add great Health to this list.)

If you've been following this blog (or bought the just-released book based on it) then you already know how to get all three (four) of these for yourself.

Now, this doesn't mean I'm enlightened or anything. And yes, I can still get pissed off and frustrated at times. But those are passing moods - something easily released.

What IS next, then?

Getting everything nearly perfect, which is as simple as letting things be as they are - instead of getting all heavily into improving things.

That's the point which comes back to me over and over. I've already seen both sides of being enlightened - and it's not all that it's hyped to be. Fun, amazing, yes. And I highly recommend everyone to achieve it, at least once. Sure, you can stay there in that state if you want. Many people do. More people don't, anecdotally speaking.

You do have to know that it's just a thought away. It's a real, real, Real thin line to cross. Coming back from that state is just as easy.

I think the most fun is living just this side of it. Much more fun than straddling it. (If you cross over to the other side of it, there's a chance you just go *poof* into some super-evolved being or something.

What I do know is that people who straddle that line and stay in that state have a rough time communicating to anyone else what they are going through. Check out Lester Levenson's stuff. His descriptions of coming back from that state are pretty amazing.

My deal is: I like writing, drawing cartoons, and raising grassfed beef. So being all enlightened doesn't necessarily get anything done. Because everything is perfect all the time, so you mostly sit around being cool and such. Anything you need just shows up. Seriously. You don't have to work at anything - because that's just a game where everyone wins. Enlightened beings just Be - they don't Do anything which anyone not in that state can perceive. Like I said, if they want to have something, it just shows up, so what's the point in having much of anything?

You see how this goes?

All this running around, being sad, having stress, upsetting people - that's just so much time-burning. Bad health, all that. Doesn't have to be.

Up to you.

Thought you deserved to hear this view of things. Check it out for yourself. See what you don't "have" to do today. Could be fun...

A Reason People May Think You're Crazy - But Who Cares, Really?


Why "Crazy" is the New Normal

Of course you find this out by doing it on your own. Some explanations or data just keep coming up.

Let's take some "freak-o-nomic" data. 

We've known for years that there's some number breaks: 
Pareto Principle: (80/20 rule) That 80 percent of your income comes from 20 percent of your clients. 80% of your problems in a business come from 20% of your employees. 

Worse, this compounds itself. 20% of 20% gives about 4% - and looking for these types of statistics finds a range of breaks between 95 and 99, with the minority (5-1%) being the most active and the most creative (or as well, the worst dupes - on the other end of the scale. Spamming works because 1% will respond to anything you send them.) And then there is the "1%" which the Occupy movement railed against - who actually control most of the money worldwide. (Nothing new, actually.)

I've worked out (and you can check this math) that it's about .03^5 (.03 to the 5th power - or  .03x.03.x.03x.03x.03) who will actually ever get something out of a given self-help program. (Which works out that it's about 1 in 20 billion who will get enlightened on this planet. Because its:
  • 3 percent who accept the opportunity (open the email)
  • 3 percent who buy the opportunity
  • 3 percent who actually apply what they get
  • 3 percent of those who will get their money back by applying it
  • 3 percent of those who will become outrageously rich from it.
(This was worked out from watching a scammer organization work - and it's their figures I'm working with, after finding this number sequence out in a disrelated field.) But you can see that it's also widely applicable.
