Huna - Max Freedom Long - Recovering the Ancient Magic

Discovering / Recovering the Ancient Magic

AFTER an eighteen-year study of Magic in its various forms—not the spurious magic of the stage, but the genuine magic that works miracles—I come as a layman to report my findings to other laymen.

Fourteen years of my study have been spent largely in Hawaii endeavoring to penetrate beyond the externals of native magic and discover its basic secret. I have been trying to learn the very secret of secrets which is guarded so carefully by those who know it.

Months and years slipped by. I accumulated more and more data concerning the externals of kahuna magic. From that data I constructed theory after theory only to be forced to discard each in turn. I drew on psychology, psychic research, spiritualism, religions of all ages and kinds. I gathered more data, sorting and sorting, trying to match this odd bit with that, trying always to find some clue to the secret of power.

And only when logic has been applied to the familiar can we come to the unfamiliar without some complexed belief promptly blinding us and making it impossible to judge with any degree of accuracy.

It is my hope that those wiser than myself may be able to correct my theories, add what data I have been unable to uncover, and so help forward the full recovery of Magic toward the day when even the humblest of God’s children will be able to share in the bright heritage so long lost.

The Workable Psycho-Religious System of the Polynesians

DURING THE past century investigations have been made of native magic in Africa, India and other parts of the world. Spiritualistic phenomena have been certified as genuine and studied painstakingly by over a hundred recognized scientists. Religions have been surveyed and the instant or nearly instant miraculous healing at Lourdes verified.

But from all these studies and efforts there has come nothing faintly resembling a definite basic system, philosophy, theory, or psycho-religious science which would explain, even in the most general terms, the phenomena of the various fields. In fact, investigations in these fields began to arrive at a stalemate several years ago. New discoveries have been conspicuously lacking.

Meanwhile, in the years following 1880, in the little noticed field of Polynesia, there was begun an investigation which, after seventy years, has at last produced a general theory that promises to break the stalemate and provide answers for a host of puzzling questions.

Efforts to apply the basic system and duplicate the most valued parts of kahuna practice, are expected to correct errors and to make possible the further perfecting of the system.

A much fuller and more detailed account of the long investigation is planned when the last stage—the experimental stage—has added its quota.

Huna, the Secret Science Behind Miracles - by Max Freedom Long

Huna is a funny thing to study. It doesn't act like other Western studies, in that you have a beginning-middle-end. Nor it is Eastern, where guru's abound and are necessary to find your way.

Huna seems to be there at every turn, much as the old Kahuna's would teach their students. “When the student is ready, the teacher appears.” Students wouldn't be told what to study or how. There were no books, study guides, quizzes, final exams, and so on.

The student, as life actually operates, must ask in order to receive. Unless the student poses the question, the teacher remains silent – well, mostly.  But it's up to the student to search out questions which need to be asked.

Max Freedom Long tells his own story in the first part of this book. Because of his background in New Thought and psychology, he naturally gravitated to the native psycho-religious philosophy of Huna (his description.)

And because of his breakthrough in finding that the philosophy survived the eons because it had been secreted into the language itself.

When Long discovered Huna, he then found the base below all these other philosophies and the religions based on them. And so the light bulb came on and the explanations started rolling out.

So now you have in your hands a “missing link” to understanding the universe and all its workings. Bottom up or top down.

Huna: Growing Into Light, by Max Freedom Long

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.
