Teaching of Huna (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. The Secret Science Behind Miracles & Self-SuggestionBy Max Freedom LongLength16h 28m
About this audiobook
Teaching of Huna presents Max Freedom Long's mature exposition of the psycho-spiritual system he called Huna, a practical metaphysics centered on the three selves, mana or vital force, prayer-action, and the disciplined clearing of complexes that obstruct contact with the "Aumakua," or higher self. Written in a direct instructional style rather than as conventional anthropology, the book belongs to the twentieth-century literature of occult psychology and New Thought, blending comparative religion, self-help, and esoteric speculation with Long's interpretations of Hawaiian terminology. Long, an American teacher and writer who lived for a time in Hawaii, became fascinated by accounts of kahuna healing and ritual power. Unable to gain formal initiation into indigenous traditions, he developed Huna through linguistic conjecture, personal experimentation, and correspondence with a network of seekers. This background helps explain both the book's earnest pedagogical tone and its controversial status: it is best read as Long's esoteric construction, not as an authoritative record of Native Hawaiian religion. Readers interested in modern metaphysical movements, alternative spiritual psychologies, or the history of occult thought will find Teaching of Huna valuable and provocative. Approach it critically, but also attentively, as a revealing document of spiritual experimentation and mid-century American esotericism.
