Ho'o Pono Pono, Zero Limits and Huna that works

Just finished re-reading a great book called "Zero Limits" by internet marketer Joe Vitale and Hawaiian Dr Hew Len.  Very thought provoking, and because I studied Huna in Hawaii over a period of 3 years, it called to me in a big way.  And I had a stunning health event which really anchored strong feelings to this book.

In the book, they start off by clearly stating that mind techniques are toys that your conscious mind plays with, to keep you thinking that you're in charge of your life.  In fact, you're not in charge, and miracles come when you let go of the toys, and instead trust in a silent place inside yourself.  You want to get beyond all those mental techniques.

Here's the irony - the book then teaches a ten word mantra.  Isn't that just another conscious, mind technique?  You're bound to have heard of it by now: "I'm sorry, I love you, please forgive me, thank you".  Say it over and over to "clear" old programs and miracles will happen.  Hmmm... But does it actually do what it says on the tin?  Let's face it, we all know people who think positive thoughts all day long and are still broke, unhappy and ill.  We can all get together in our communes and retreats and have deep meaningful discussions under the stars, but after the scent of the incense has faded, has anything actually improved?

Esoteric study, metaphysics and qualtum physics all agree - Creation and manifestation begin in the void - the quantum field - the source - whatever you want to call it, where there are no words, no thoughts, no intentions.  The void, or the I'o in Huna, is the great balancer or equaliser - indestructible, infinite and timeless.  Everyone has a model of the world that they view the world through.  You ideally want to dissolve yours...

It's funny, I have worked in the world of therapy and hypnosis for over 20 years.  Yet most therapists never notice that in every therapy appointment they attend, there's always one person present.  Them.

 Think about it.  Every time you have a problem, you are present.  Therapists think they are there to help the client heal.  Wrong.  Actually their job is to heal themselves of the program they see in their client.   That's the basis of the psychiatric healing that Hew Len is famous for, and the main reason Joe Vitale spotted the opportunity for a best selling book on Amazon.

Carl Jung once said "Who looks outside dreams.  Who looks inside wakes".

The Void is timeless, boundless and infinite.  Memories are stuck in time, connected to a location and full of uncertain emotions.   Start by accepting that all of your life experiences are 3D holograms of either your memories, or your inspirations.  The question to ask yourself is "What is going on in me that I have caused this problem?  And how can I rectify this problem in me?"

Think about it, when you delete a file from your computer's hard drive, where does it go?  Its actually still there - ask any laptop repair company.  Or your local crime lab.  As are your memories.  So you either come from old memories, or new inspiration.  Old programs or divine message?  So the aim is to get into the Void.  Or get to "zero".  No memories.  No intentions.  When you're in the void, everything is available.  When you're in the conscious mind, everything is inherently limited by space, time, measurement and dimension.  Therefore immediately finite.  Your mind is preventing you from feeling the peace that your mind is craving.  The voice in your head isn't you.  Divinity and inspiration are behind that voice.

As long as you're using affirmations, or intentions, you're resisting, fighting and wishing things away.  Instead, give in to inspiration coming in.  HUGE learning for me here - Don't go inside WITH something, go inside and LISTEN.  Free conscious will can still dismiss or accept the inspiration that comes in, and you can choose to act on it or not.  Its free will, or free won't.  Memory is thinking, inspiration is allowing.  But its not about results.  Its about peace.  Let go of the worry, be empty, and the solution is downloaded.  Otherwise if you get hooked on being stuck, you remain stuck.
Impulse > free will > act or not.

Morrnah Simeona was a Kahuna who died in 1992.  She added a more modern twist to the method which was originally called Ho'o Pono Pono.  And the newer Joe Vitale method has been heavily criticised from being too far removed from the traditional Hawaiian origins.  I've used it ten word mantra personally and tested the method and quite frankly found it to be  practically useless.  OK it might make you feel like you're doing something helpful, but in terms of actual change in the physical world - zero [pun intended].

Strive, Survive, Dive Or Thrive?

Is this you? 

Striving to make things happen the way you want them to...

Struggling to juggle all the demands and keep up...

Studied loads and trying to implement all the tips, tactics and "-ologies" that you've learned, cos they promise a better world...

Visualised your goals, used vision boards or mind-maps and the like and yet your reality is way different...

Set goals only for them not to come true, and then you start to doubt that any of this "mind stuff" actually works...

You see, the conscious mind [the analytical critic that asks questions all the time.  Does it?  Yes.  Is that true?  Yes.  Is that what I'm hearing in my head right now?  Yup] loves to get entangled with the mind forms, the complexities.  it is built to figure things out and tease out the wool so it can analyse and form conclusions.

• About 17% of brain mass is your conscious mind: yet it controls only 2–4% of actual perceptions and behaviour.  The majority is unconscious.

• It looks for patterns and images that are familiar, and rejects those that aren’t.

• This is the part of you that thinks and reasons things out. Your free will resides here. This is the part of your mind that will decide the changes required to live the type of life you want to experience. In other words, your intentions and outcomes.

The conscious mind can accept or reject any idea.

Conscious Impulses Travel through your neural pathways at 120–140 MPH

• No person or circumstance can cause you to think about thoughts or ideas you do

not choose.

• The thoughts you consistently choose and impress from your conscious mind to your

unconscious mind will determine the results in your life.

Normal conscious activity and STRIVING used to be able to change things, but one day it stops.  That's what happened to me.  No matter what I tried, none of the old ways were working any more. "GREAT!  You can now realise that you are ready to evolve" said my Coach.

The BIG mistake that we as a race have been making for the last hundred years is closing the eyes, going into silence and taking something IN with you, like a picture, or affirmations, visualising.   That only works temporarily, or doesn't work at all.  i have more books on visualisation than I ever visualised having.

You should go into the silence is a receptive, waiting state, and wait for what comes out.

Whenever you’re experiencing lack, you’re thinking about lack.  Yet where there is silence there is peace.  In Huna its called the Void.  Some call it the Quantum Field, or God, or Creation.  Insert your deity of choice.  If you go into that space with no intention, no "noise" or interference, then the void can deliver up to you that which you need right now, or more.

Think about it - there are INFINITE problems in human conscious awareness.  There’s a self help book / method/ seminar / cd set for EVERY problem man can think of.  Money, health, relationships, family, spirituality.  Therefore if you have 3 problems you need to study 3 different methods.  What a burden.  DROP all of it!

My old motto was inspired by my brother-in-law's service in the Navy – “to strive, to serve and never to yield”.  That was my mantra until 2010.  I have a new motto now... 

Law Of Attraction Brought Me A Tank!

There's been a lot of talk back and forward in recent years about Law Of Attraction, what you focus on you attract, the morphogenic field and all of that good stuff.  As ever I'm only interested in what actually works.  Does it produce consistent fruitage?  Or is it just another dose of hope and hype that keeps you upbeat temporarily...?

Over my 23 years of studying personal development, I've tried anything and everything to make my life easier.  Some of it worked and made things better, other stuff took me down a blind alley, other things were profound and are now part of my staple toolkit.  But for me, and this is only MY opinion, my clients pay me to supply them with results - not fleeting improvement then getting sucked right back into the S**T again.

In 2010 I started to notice problems appearing, in several areas in my wheel of life.  So I applied all of my usual strategies and methods to better things... and nothing worked.  Despite all my best efforts, and practising what I preached, things just got worse.  Health, relationships, money, family... all started to crumble and worsen no matter what I did.

Now I don't know if you're the same as me, but I've learned that I need to get better at asking for help.  And it took me ages to summon the nerve, but finally I went in desperation to my old Coach from 4 years earlier.  And he gave me some advice.

First thing he said was that "Its OK - you're going to be alright" and I started sobbing.  Have you ever had someone say exactly the right thing to you at exactly the right time, but you didn't even know it was exactly what you needed to hear?

He then gave me some advice on what to do about it.  Now what he asked me to do had two effects on me - firstly, it sounded like precisely what I needed right now and it felt spot on, BUT secondly it went against everything I believed in.  Every cell in my body wanted to attack the problems, solve the challenges and try and our-strategise the issues.

I heard myself talking about the protest incident at Tienanmen Square - remember this scene?  It felt like I was staring right down the barrel of a tank gun, attached to a stonking huge war machine that was threatening to crush me.  And my nature is to look for its weak point, or stop the tank, or build my own tank!

My Coach suggested I sit down with my back to the tank, and meditate.  As if there was no tank there...at all... and every iota in me said "That's INSANE!"

So for 6 months we spoke on the phone every week.  And for 6 months I was at WAR.  Not on the outside mind you - not attacking the problems in my money, health and relationships - but in turmoil on the inside.  At war within myself.

Tomorrow I'll tell you what happened :-)

Huna teachings - book review

I've just finished Kahuna Healing by Serge King, something like ten years after I
first read it, and its like I've never read it before. Isn't that weird when it
happens - like you're reading a book that's the same inside, but you're in a whole different place?

Polynesia is a triangle that stretches from New Zealand, to Hawaii and then to
Easter island - a huge area with thousands of miles between islands - but which
enjoyed commerce, trade and exploration long before Columbus sailed across the Atlantic. The Maori for instance have ancient navigation chants that reveal sailing directions to Hawaii. There were Hawaiian kahunas, Tahitian tahunas and Maori tohungas.

It is suggested that Captain Cook arrived on Hawaii not by coincidence, but by
kahuna telepathic suggestion - so he landed just in time for a festival dedicated to
the god Lono. [The kahuna had their own Hawaiian pantheon of gods but still recognised one ultimate God]. There was a God, but there was no "sinning" against that God. There was no concept of "sin". There are natural laws, like gravity and you can't sin against gravity.

This telepathic suggestion is one of a number of startling feats that the kahuna were reputed to be able to do. Walking on lava, healing the sick. Unlike the Boston missionaries who couldn't do either. Yet the kahuna are [were] ordinary men and women who trained to develop abilities we all have latent within ourselves. Plus studying and practicing empowering beliefs and mental disciplines. [Its interesting that the author proposes that presently held beliefs seem to influence healing more than past memories.]

On Huna and physical healing - the body is an intensely energised thought form, a concept from the Higher Self expressing itself in the material world as a physical form, modified by the beliefs of that person's conscious mind, and maintained by the unconscious mind. I love that stunningly simple metaphor. There's the car factory, the driver, and the on board computer. Your body is the vehicle that you use to project your intention into the physical world, and the means by which you gain feedback from doing so.

The Higher Self creates the blueprint of the body and downloads that to the unconscious mind whose job it is to run and maintain that blueprint. However, it is continually subjected to the learned beliefs of the conscious mind. Any illness or disease is where these 3 minds are in conflict with one another.

A great place to see this effect is in the area of western civilisation and its beliefs about health. We're conditioned by the health & fitness industry that slim is desireable and healthy. Fat is ugly and unhealthy. But let's face it, you get thin people who are ill, and fat people who are healthy. Super fit athletes die every day, and chain smoking old codgers can live a century or more.

Disease may be the result of the conscious minds learned thinking patterns being in conflict with the unconscious mind's blueprint. Its not the MacDonalds burger that kills you, its what you think about the burger. [see also "Zero Limits" by Joe Vitale and Dr Hew Len]. Swine flu affects people more because of the media hype than the flu itself. Beliefs are the root of illness in Huna. Epidemics may have more to do with the individual's reaction to social proof then bacteria. Thus Huna includes suggestions and belief changes as a natural part of the therapy intervention. Faith in the cure leads to the success of the cure.

But kahuna were sought and followed not by reputation, but by their results. "Ye shall know them by their fruits". They were known for their proven abilities and knowledge, and didn't actually have to be of Hawaiian descent. Serge states that the knowledge is alive and operating today, but just isn't obvious.

There's a fascinating section on emotions, and Serge states that the kahuna see emotion as simply a flow of energy through the body. The sensation of guilt or attraction are much the same, but its the thoughts and self-talk that accompany the sensations that tell you what to call it. Try that one on! An adept kahuna can generate, direct, change or dissolve any emotion at will. That's why I say all NLP is Huna.

Most interesting is the discussion on "thought forms" - kahuna didn't recognise the concepts of a devil or demons, or wandering spirits of the dead. They classed these as man-made thought forms. The only demons are the ones you believe in.

On the matter of a client who is treated, and then the problem returns - the suggestion is that the client failed to change their thought patterns, and therefore the body simply went back to its learned way of being.

Overall I've thoroughly enjoyed re-reading this book and heartily recommend it. I read it years ago, and I'll probbaly come back to it years from now. And that's in keeping with a nice quote from page 70:

"The present is the fruit of the past, and the seed of the future"

Train In Huna As My Guest

August 10th

From: Jonathan Clark
RE: Huna Secrets Teleseminar

It's Tuesday so I'll make this quick.

After my "darkest night of the soul" in 2002 I
found myself on a spiritual and healing course
in Hawaii, and it changed me forever.

Over the course of 3 years I kept going back to
learn more, and eventually earned permission to
teach the ancient science called Huna.

Huna is a very old art and science of psychology,
shamanism and healing. Its the closest thing to
doing real magic, manifesting what you want and
dissolving what you don't. Imagine that...

Tomight I'm hosting a free teleseminar in Huna
Secrets. This is for you if you feel something
is missing, if you feel disconnected, and if you
need more energy.

The class will last about 90 minutes and will
teach you some very practical Huna tools you can
take away and use TODAY.


***** IMPORTANT TELESEMINAR DETAILS *****

Title: Huna Secrets
Time: Tuesday, August 10th at 3:00pm Eastern, 8pm UK
Listening method: Phone + Web Simulcast
To attend, visit:

Please call in 5 minutes early to introduce yourself.

Speak to you tonight,

Teacher and Initiator

Training NLP - I don't mind and it doesn't matter

The voice in your head isn't you.

Ever thought about that?

The voice is your mind, and you are more than just your mind. You are the awareness that you're aware with. So you witness your mind and its thinking.



If you ever hear yourself say "I'm stupid" change it to "My thinking is stupid" Makes a huge difference, and it's actually more TRUE.

In the 3 minds model that I teach [conscious, unsconscious and Higher Self] the internal chatter would be your conscious mind. The unconscious doesn't do language - it does pictures and feelings. And Higher Self? Well, it's your connection with Spirit, or Divinity.

Listen, you can think positive thoughts of abundance all you like and still be broke. Its your unconscious mind that creates and manifests. If your unconscious mind has feelings and complexes around poverty or success, you'll witness the 3D projection of that. As within, so without.

Now scientists have measured [who are these people?] that the unconscious mind is being bombarded with over 2 million bits of information per second. Yet your conscious mind can only handle about 134 bits per second. What does that mean?

It means there's WAY more going on than you know... right now. In fact it's impossible to be aware of everything that's going on in this moment. Therefore, if you're not aware of it, how can you expect to control it?

So let's leave you with a thought:

You can choose what you want, but you have to let go of whether you manifest it or not.

Let me know [your conscious mind's] thoughts...

On the 38th Anniversary of Max Freedom Long’s Death

We all know about the time Max Freedom Long spent in Hawaii. It’s described very well in SSBM. The years spent in Los Angeles and Vista are also fairly well documented and, if you’ve read the Bulletins, you’ve followed the tracks of Huna over those years as well.

Max managed the Bulletins from February 1948 through December 1970. They were pretty consistent, and he didn’t miss an issue very often. They discuss many things, some ending up to be very productive and others being dead ends after further research. Max left no stone unturned if it could shed some light on Huna as he knew it.

Max died in September of 1971. He committed suicide. He had spent the bulk of his lifetime researching Huna and publishing what he had learned. His was a life of writing, mostly, and shedding light on this body of knowledge that he had named Huna, this knowledge in which he truly believed. He recognized the power and ‘magic’ that it held within itself … a wonderful gift for the people of the world if they could see it, learn it and embrace it. Max spent his life developing Huna and by 1970, he’d realized that he would not see its completion in his lifetime. His attempt to alter the HRA research organization into a normal, “community based” church caused a revolt in the membership. Huna was changing and there was nothing Max could do to keep it under control.

In November of 1970, his library had been moved to the library-museum in Fort Worth and he no longer had access to all of his books. He missed them in the last few Bulletins, but he was happy to know that his collection would remain intact. “I am very much pleased with the arrangement as I had feared some of my most treasured books would wind up … with the second hand man or be taken to the dump.” (Bull. #98, pg. 2)

By this time, he had been working with the heir of the HRA for a couple of years. This man would oversee the Huna organization of the HRAs and keep the research going after Max was no longer able to do it. In 1970, Max couldn’t possibly know that this wouldn’t happen, so he probably had no expectations that the HRA would eventually fade away after his passing.

There were others involved who ended up with other components of the existing Huna community structure. Some of it has come to fruition over the years, yet Huna hasn’t made huge progress in becoming more widely spread as a spiritual approach to life and our relationship with the planet.

Max stopped issuing the Bulletins at the end of 1970 because he was in poor health. He had cancer in his left leg bone and in his ribs. He was in constant pain and it was more and more difficult for him to get around. He tried many methods for a cure, but nothing took away the pain. And his companion (and other wife), Ethel Doherty, had fallen and broken both her hips. She was convalescing, but it was obvious that things would never be the same. Max was 80. The years had passed and he was aware that his life’s term was drawing to a close.

In Max’s final Bulletin, there is a short article about the death of a long-time HRA and friend. She had cancer. She’d had the “usual surgery and burning” and it hadn’t worked. She knew what lay ahead for her, so she took a lethal dose of sleeping pills and passed over. Max didn’t have a problem with that. “Some day, when we become civilized and can fight back the Church and its objections, we will have a better way of handling these things. … When one sees that there is no hope … this is an honorable and reasonable way.”

In March of 1971, Max first attempted suicide. Like the woman mentioned above, he tried to ingest a lethal dose of sleeping pills. Unlike hers, his attempt failed. Because of this, however, it became obvious that the Huna material had to be finalized and all the loose ends needed to be tied.

He’d been working on a book, What Jesus Taught in Secret, on which he focused his attention, getting it ready for publication. He culled through his notes; he took care of the loose ends. He didn’t want to leave anything undone that might be confusing or misinterpreted after he was gone.

Once everything was in order, he tried again and was successful. On September 23, 1971, at 11:00pm, Max Freedom Long put a shotgun to his head and pulled the trigger. It was time for him to move on and he knew it. At the time, the Huna group called it ‘graduation,’ moving on to a higher plane, and his spirit was ready to do that. He had done all he could do in this lifetime.

He also left the message, via Clairesthesia, that he would be returning, bringing all the ‘true believers’ with him. According to the Mo`i of the Huna Heiau, in April of 2001, “He should have been born along with them about a year ago. Then [he should] be ready to set his effort with Huna once again in about 2020.” Max hoped that Huna would survive during the time he was gone and that he would be able to find it again once he came of age. Huna is still alive and, should he be here, it is here for him to re-discover. It has been changed and adulterated a bit, but the core is pure and the potential still exists.

Max wanted to heal the world with Huna. Unfortunately, one lifetime isn’t enough, especially when one is suffering with the pain of cancer and the heartache of watching a life’s work go unfinished. But unfinished as it was, it has been a boon to many, many people throughout the world and will continue to be so. He gave us a gift that is very precious and we must be thankful for his dedication and tenacity.

“I offer only the tentative fruits of my research. If something is said that you feel is correct, then accept it, but if not, then do not. Of course, there are different ways to look at things.” (Bull. #96, pg. 2)

“I look upon the ‘final union’ as a thing of ultimate beauty, dearness and fulfillment. To me, it is the Second Salvation, the First Salvation being the discovery that there is an Aumakua and making the first full contact with it. Once we have been through this and have felt the flood of love and wonder from the Aumakua, how can we draw back from the attempt to become one?” (Bull. #97, p. 3)
