Huna Spiritual Tradition

[Epiphany_Inspired]

In the spirit of our Sage/Mystic research on numerous faiths, I noticed there does not seem to be any threads on *Huna* (same belief in non-duality/ universal oneness). I've just discovered it in a 1950's book by Max Freedom Long (growing into light...I think, it's upstairs). Anyway, here are some descriptions from  random websites (I like the sort of Atlantis reference) * but do your own research, it's rad:

"Huna comes from ancient times, it is one of the original arts and sciences of healing and spiritual development. We believe that it may be as old as 35,000 years and is a part of the original teachings of the peoples of the earth which were centered here in Hawaii on a continent which now, no longer exists. All that remains physically of that land are the mountain peaks of the island chain called Hawaii. Huna was originally called Ho’omana. Ho’o means to make. Mana means life force, equivalent to Ki (as in Aikido), Chi (as in Tai Chi) or Shakti in the Sanskrit language. Taken together the word Ho’omana means empowerment or to empower. Huna is about empowerment, about increasing your spirituality, energy, and metaphysical healing powers."

"The people, called Kahuna, who practiced these techniques and teachings knew that all power and all force emanated from the One, the source of All -- all life, all energy, which in Hawai'i was called I'o. In those times, the same knowledge was taught everywhere else on the planet, too. The balanced system was an equally Male / Female system, where men and women were honored equally, where there were both male and female Kahuna. There are only remnants of this system around the Earth, because starting in 325 A.D, a wave began to sweep around the planet in an attempt to destroy the balanced systems -- the original teachings of the peoples of the Earth. The wave hit Hawai'i sometime between 750 and 1250 A.D. Hawai'i was very lucky to be so isolated. In other areas of the world the original teaching was wiped out earlier than that. There was a real concerted effort in western Europe to wipe out the original teachings which has persisted for thousands of years. These destructive pressures continue today in the world. One purpose of the original teaching was the study of the ways of increasing life force energy, to give every single human the power in his own hands, ultimate means to create what they totally want in their life. The notion of Life Force is a very important notion. What's also important in the process is also to learn how to make connections with the sources of Mana both inside and outside yourself. The scope of Huna is quite broad -- if you think of it this way, there is one teaching and it has many different names."
