Summary: This book is a very good.
Review: This book provides aqequate information; but there are books that are better.I have to point out a few minor issues in the book. Page 1:"The Hawai'ian people had no word for religion." _|According to my Hawaiian/English dictionary; ho'omana is the Hawaiian word for religion. Page 10:"Long spent 54 years researching and experimenting with the teachings." _|the actual number is 52 years; this may be a typo. Page 10:"All of the variations of the Huna system being taught now are based on the work of Max Freedom Long" _| this is not correct. Allan P. Lewis studied with a living kahuna. Clark Wilkerson studied with another kahuna. Serge Kahili King had a Hawaiian relative. Laura Kealoha Yardley studied wuth kahuna David Kaonohiokala Bray, and her grandmother which was Hawaiian, and others. Myself; I studied almost all of the writings of MFL, and I see MFL as a sincere dedicated researcher; but in a few places; he made mistakes because of his imperfect understanding of Hawaiian Spirituality. There have been several important sources of information in MY HUNA practise. 1. MFL "Secret Science Behind Miracles" & "Secret Science At Work" 2. Allan P. Lewis "Clearing Your lifepath; With Kahuna Wisdom" & "Living In Harmony; With Kahuna Wisdom" 3. Clark Wilkerson "Hawaiian Magic" 4. Direct first hand experience when working with the system. Page 13:"There was no concept of a single "God" as taught by thr Christian Missionaries." _|This is NOT correct. The Hawaiians DID know of a single Creator (God if you prefer); but hey did not work with the single Creator because they believed that the spiritual powers above the Akua were beyond Human comprehension. In my research; I have seen the Creator's name spelled 5 different ways (AEO, EO, E'O, IAO, and IO) In my opinion the name E'O is the correct spelling. The ' represents a glottal stop which is pronounced as a short pause in speech. Page 13: "The Hawaiians had no concept of sin" _|They did not recognise sin as portrayed by the "christian" Missionaries; but they did understand hurt. The ONE HUNA commandment is "Harm nothing with hatred" Page 18, and throughout the book; Ms. MacDonald places a glottal stop before the names Unihipili (ooneheepeele), and Uhane (oohanee) There should not be a glottal stop before these names. The author does correctly spell the higher self 'Aumakua (Owmakooa) Page 36:"The 'Aumakua is centered in the right hemisphere of the brain." _| this is incorrect. The 'Aumakua does not reside inside the body. It is found 6 inches to 3 feet over the head. The Uhane is located in the brain, and the Uhihipili is located in the solar plexus. Page 39:"However, the 'aumakua will not interfere with the desires of the other selves unless it is asked." _|I have a list of times when the 'Aumakua has violated the person's free will. In EACH instance; the 'Aumakua took action temporarily to prevent fatal or near fatal incidents. In my opinion; here are the top five books on Hawaiian spirituality "Clearing Your Lifepath; With Kahuna Wisdom" Allan P. Lewis "Hawaiian Magic" Clark Wilkerson "Fundamentals Of Hawaiian Mysticism: Charlotte Berney "Essential Huna" Arlyn J. MacDonald "Hawaiian Religion And Magic" Scott Cummingham If you want a more complete list of HUNA books I recommend (in the order I recommend them) view my two HUNA listmania lists, or read my HUNA 101 website.
