Please allow me to qualify my brief explanation. I abhor the flowery
rhetoric and circular logic often used when presenting spiritual matters.
The use of questions, similies, metaphors and other such tools can be
useful for clarifying concepts unreachable to the conscious mind.
However, mostly these have just shown a complete lack of empirical
understanding by an author. I could have posted numerous links here
to web sites about Huna, but likewise these are usually inferences and
opinions made by others on the subject. I believe it's most effiecient to
go to a/the source and make your own unfiltered judgements. I personally
have waded through many systems of belief that all seem to contain
elements of truth. But these truths are too frequently buried and found
through layers of meaning. To see the truth in these systems you would
have to already know it to recognise it. ...PLEASE just give me pragmatic
techniques to experience directly. ONLY THEN WILL I KNOW FOR MYSELF.
Huna is a system and explanation of the parts of a human being and how
they interact. It employs workable physical and focused thought techniques.
It was/is practiced by the indigenous Hawaiians.
Next time your skulking around you favorite book store
just look for the
author Max Freedom Long. "The Secret Science Behind Miracles" is the
basic text. Don't let the title mislead you. There is none of that 'religous stuff'
you may be acustomed to in this book. Soberly, I feel that there a few minor
errors with regards to spirits and the deceased. However the author has done
an amazing body of work on distilling the ancient ways contained in the rest
of the text. Serge Kahili King is another (native Hawaiian) author you may
wish to look at (...AFTER Max F. Long).
Best wishes on your quest to find the truth.
