Light-Switch Hunaby Dr. E. Otha Wingo

A Simple System for Using the Huna System Without Theories, History, or Explanations of Special Terminology.

Using Huna is Like Turning on a Light-Switch or Pushing a Button

NOTE

This method will work every time 100%, if used exactly as described.If the results are not as you desire, this means that some part of the

procedure has not been followed EXACTLY (i.e., one of the lightswitches has not been pushed!). If this happens, then mentally CANCEL

the picture that you had previously worked out by saying aloud:

"I dissolve the mental picture and sweep away anyremnants that might have accumulated, in order tobegin again and make the picture perfect. All energyattached to that picture is removed and the picture

now is totally dissolved and removed."

The reason for this is that a picture left with the Higher Authoritieswill continue to be worked on and some parts of it will come into reality,thus bringing about imperfect and often undesirable results. Cancel thepicture (blueprint) and start over, using whatever parts of the previousplan are suitable to you and making sure that all the process is done

correctly.

Light-Switch Huna

How to Use Huna

When you want to turn on the light in a room, you reach up and flickthe switch or push the button. Immediately the light comes on and the

room is illuminated.It is not necessary for you to understand how electricity works or howthe building is wired or where the electrical generating plant is located.

Even if you were an electrical engineer or physicist, you would stillturn on the light exactly the same way!

This little article is designed to show you simply and easily EXACTLYhow to "turn on the switch" of HUNA, so that you can get the results

you want.

Preventing Overloaded Circuits

As in all power circuits, it is a good idea to make sure that the cir-cuits are clear and not overloaded. In electricity we make sure the

circuit is correctly fused or with a proper breaker switch. And then weare careful not to overload the circuit by plugging a powerful motor intoan outlet fused for a smaller wattage. And we are also careful not to add

too many appliances to the same circuit.The Huna equivalent of this is FORGIVENESS. Have a little talk withyourself. Forgive everyone for whatever has been done to you. Then

forgive yourself for anything you have done in the past, adding apromise that you will do nothing to hurt anyone.

If you are not fully satisfied with this forgiveness session, assignyourself some GOOD DEED to convince yourself that you are serious

about forgiveness.

Light Switch Number One

1. Decide exactly what you want to accomplish. Be very specific. Stickto a single request, including only the things directly involved with

that result.2. Make a clear picture in your mind of the RESULTS you want to bringabout. Make sure to include yourself in the picture, as well as anyone

else affected by your request.Use your imagination to create this mental image. See yourselfDOING and ACTING and THINKING the way you will when the

result has been realized. Allow all the sensations of seeing, hearingand touch, taste and smell come fully into your imagination. Add the

strong emotion of desire.3. Do not use negatives in any description of your request. Instead of

saying, "I want to get rid of all tensions and conflicts," say, "I seeonly peace, joy, love, and harmony in all my relationships." Insteadof, "I want my illness to be healed," say, "I see myself completely

healthy, vigorous, and strong in body, mind, and spirit."4. Be sure your request is not hurtful to anyone, including yourself.

5. When you are completely satisfied that you have prepared exactlythe picture of the results you want, mentally seal the "blueprint" or

picture, so that it will not be changed . Here is the way to do that: "Iam completely satisfied with this mental picture of my request. I now

seal it with a protective covering so that it will stay exactly as it isnow and cannot be accidentally changed or damaged."

6. Go to Light Switch Number Two.

Light Switch Number Two

1. Find a quiet place where you can be alone and undisturbed for a fewminutes-- 5 or 10 minutes is sufficient.

If you are at home, you may want to use a special place each day.If there is much activity at home, use any place that provides privacy.

In a busy office, business, or factory, you may want to take your"break" wherever you can find a quiet spot-- in a storeroom or maybe

the washroom.In a busy public place, slip into a washroom or even a telephonebooth. (You can become "superman" or "superwoman" by using

Huna, so why not a phone booth?)2. Sit comfortably in your quiet place. (If it is necessary to stand, get as

comfortable as you can by leaning against a wall or stand with feetand heels slightly out.)

3. Take a very deep, slow breath, hold it briefly, and let it out slowly.Say these words aloud:

"I am relaxing in my entire body, mind, and spirit. Witheach breath I take, I feel more relaxed and comfortable,

and mentally alert."4. Take another deep breath, as before, and let it out. Say, "As I takethese breaths, my energy is increasing tremendously. My body is re-laxed and I feel good all over. My mind is clear and alert and I amfocusing only on deep breathing and increasing my energy supply."

5. Take a few more deep breaths and let your breathing becomesmooth and regular, but still slower and deeper than usual. Let it be-

come natural to breathe in this way. Keep your mind only on thethought that your energy is increasing as you breathe.

6. Say clearly aloud, "I now see a clear picture of what I desire, just as Ihave prepared it previously."

7. "I now ask my inner consciousness to send this picture to the HigherConsciousness along with a generous supply of energy, to be brought

into reality."8. "I give thanks that the desired future has been immediately realized

on the higher level and will come into reality on the physical level."9. "The prayer takes its flight to the High Self. Let the higher energyfrom the High Self descend upon me. Let silence prevail, as I wait

for Guidance from above."

Light Switch Number Three

1. Once you have presented your mental picture, along with a generoussupply of energy, to the Higher Authorities, the next step is to LEAVE

IT ALONE!You must release it. It is like a seed. Once you plant the seed, youdo not dig it up every day to see if it is growing. But you must stillwater the ground, which is the replenishing of the daily supply of

energy.2. Every day after the first presentation, turn on the fourth switch. It islike the first five parts of Number Two, then continue with energizing

the "blueprint" or "seed:" every day.

Light Switch Number Four

1. Find a quiet place where you can be alone and undisturbed for a fewminutes-- 5 or 10 minutes is sufficient.

2. Sit comfortably in your quiet place. (If it is necessary to stand, get ascomfortable as you can by leaning against a wall or stand with feet

and heels slightly out.)3. Take a very deep, slow breath, hold it briefly, and let it out slowly.

Say these words aloud:"I am relaxing in my entire body, mind, and spirit. Witheach breath I take, I feel more relaxed and comfortable,

and mentally alert."4. Take another deep breath, as before, and let it out. Say, "As I takethese breaths, my energy is increasing tremendously. My body is re-laxed and I feel good all over. My mind is clear and alert and I amfocusing only on deep breathing and increasing my energy supply."

5. Take a few more deep breaths and let your breathing become

smooth and regular, but still slower and deeper than usual. Let it be-come natural to breathe in this way. Keep your mind only on the

thought that your energy is increasing as you breathe.6. Say clearly aloud, "I now send to the High Self a generous gift of

energy, to be used in bringing my request into reality on the physicallevel. Day by day, in every way, I am getting better and better."

Hints and Suggestions

1. "Huna is All Powerful in this World."2. If you are not using Huna, you are working too hard.

3. If you are using Huna, you are still working, but you are gettingRESULTS.

4. Including help for someone else is a good aid for faster and greaterresults for yourself.

5. Motto: "TO LIVE THE HURTLESS AND HELPFUL LIFE."6. Huna means "secret," but you now know the secret of getting what

you need and desire.7. Very strong desire for the requested results increases the energy tre-

mendously. If you are casual and uninterested in getting the results,they are less likely to be realized.

8. Be careful what you ask for, you may get it. Since this method isvery effective, it is important to decide very carefully what you want

before using it.9. Your IMAGINATION is one of your most powerful tools.

10. Daily energizing is very important. You must use a SURCHARGE ofenergy, not your normal supply of energy, to get results.

11. When doing the deep breathing for energizing it may help to do a lotof imagining. For example, imagine that you are getting ready to runa race. Take a stance as if you were about to start running. In thisposition, energize yourself by the breathing technique and mental

suggestion.12. If you have difficulty visualizing (making a mental picture), you can

simply describe the desired result in words, adding as many othersensory impressions as are natural to you and to the request. Thisdescription can be sealed for protection, when completed, just as

the visual picture can be.13. If you tend to prefer an auditory reinforcement of your "blueprint,"

use a tape recorder to record the description and play it back asyou energize.

14. In relationship problems it is often necessary to dissolve the innerconnections you have with another person. This may be true if therehas been a conflict or separation, when it is desirable to end the re-

lationship. It may also be necessary in a broken relationship that youwish to re-establish! By "cutting the cords" that bind you together,

you get rid of disruptive conflicts, allowing the establishment of newand clear connections.

15. It is important to establish a friendly partnership with your inner selfConsider your inner consciousness as a skilled worker who needsthe talents you, the conscious mind, have and has other skills and

talents that you lack. Together you make a perfect partnership.When you then join forces with your Higher Consciousness of High

Self, you have the perfect triangle or trinity-- a team that can accom-plish anything you decide upon and work toward.

16. If you have any difficulty in clearing your mind of the distractions ofdaily life when you are in your quiet place, sit for a few seconds withyour fingertips lightly touching. This will automatically balance your

energies.17. Praise and Thanks. Just as you would express thanks and praise to

a friend who assists you in completing a project, it is important tospeak words of praise to your inner self and your High Self for the

help they have given you.18. Even though the Light Switch method is done in a private, quietplace, once you have established the procedure as a habit, you cando a quick version at any time, anywhere, just by a brief pause as

you form the picture and send it with energy to the High Self. This isespecially useful for a picture which you have previously prepared

carefully, and also for small things that do not require extensive pre-paration, such as getting a parking place or finding misplaced

objects19. You have a perfect memory! In order to have perfect recall any time

you want it, get in very friendly terms with your inner self. That isthe part of you which has the perfect memory.

Everyday Huna

Some of the "little" things of everyday life in which Huna techniquescan be used:

1. Finding a parking place.2. Finding misplaced or lost objects.

3. Getting green traffic lights and smooth traffic flow as you drive.4. Recalling things such as grocery lists and telephone numbers.

5. Using hunches to prompt you to go a different route or stop off at acertain store where you will find what you've been looking for, what

you need, or something that interests you.6.7.8.

Huna Psychology:

An Introduction Huna (tm) is not an "occult" system-- that is, hidden from all but a few"favored" adherents or "initiates." It is based on knowledge of humanpsychology and of how the various parts of the human personalityfunction. When you learn how the psyche works, you will be able to seehow it functions properly and with the greatest effectiveness. Huna em-phasizes normal living in every way and makes everyday life more liveble. In times of stress, Huna offers effective relief in any situation. As Max Freedom Long put it, "If you are not using Huna, you are workingtoo hard!"

Basic Concepts

The basic tenets of Huna can be summarized in these words, "NOHURT: NO SIN," that is, the Huna concept of "sin" is doing somethinghurtful. "SERVE TO DESERVE," that is, be of help and service to others in order to feel worthy of good things in your life. A more concise statement is the Huna motto: The Hurtless and Helpful Life.

Huna Will Work for Everyone

Potentially, Huna principles will work for everyone. When the desiredresults are not obtained, Huna psychology reveals the causes of the failure. The best place to start learning the basics of Huna psychology is the correspondence course, written by Dr. Wingo entitled "Letters onHuna: A Course in the Fundamentals of Huna Psychology." It is an ex-cellent basic text that will give you a clear statement of what Huna is and how to use it. A good, quick, and thorough introduction is "Huna:The Ancient Religion of Positive Thinking," by William Glover. For further study, the works of Max Freedom Long are recom-mended. "The Secret Science at Work" (1953) reviews the account ofthe discovery of the ancient coded secrets of the kahuna and givessuggestions for the use of Huna principles. "The Secret Science BehindMiracles" (1948) presents a more detailed account of the search andthe method of discovery. An excellent review and source of daily inspira-tion is "Growing Into Light" (1955). Two technical manuals on specialaspects of the research are "Self-Suggestion and the New Huna Theory of Mesmerism and Hypnosis" (1958) and "Psychometric Analysis" (1959). The masterpiece of comparative religion, "The HunaCode in Religions," was published in 1965.

Is "Psychic" Ability Necessary?

It is not necessary to have "psychic" ability in order to use Huna. Such ability is natural to everyone and is developed to a greater extentby some, while in others such qualities are latent, or unrecognized, although used naturally. Because the principles of Huna psychology in-volve the study of universal laws and basic concepts, most people findthat the intuition becomes stronger and "psychic" or "spiritual" aware-ness begins to develop. This awareness is the by-product of profoundstudy in any area, whether astrology or physics, art or Tarot, biochemist-ry or any of the systems of psychology, including Huna.

You are More than a Body

Because you are conscious of your own existence, you realize that you are alive and that a process of thinking is taking place. You areaware of your body and its various functions, both voluntary and in vol-untary. The part of you that is all of these things-- the real you, so to speak-- enables you to be conscious of the fact that you exist as a spirit-ual or psychic "person" in addition to the body in which you seem to live. It is natural, therefor, to speak of YOU and YOUR BODY as two parts, whether they are actually separate or not.

Conscious and Subconscious Minds

At times a person speaks of "having a little talk with himself" in orderto make up his mind about a decision or to work up courage for some-thing very difficult or frightening. "I told myself there was nothing to worryabout," we might say. Or, in trying to make a decision, we have a littleconversation "with ourselves" and mentally list the pros and cons of thealternatives. It is as if one part of us argues for one side, while a secondpart comes up with arguments for the other! Whether we consider that there are really two of us inside our minds, or two functions of one mind, at least it seems for the moment that twoseparate minds exist. At the time the function of the mind is dual and notsingle. Since most psychological systems recognize a subconscious partof the mind, it is natural to state that there are two minds or psychicentities. For the purpose of discussing the psyche, we may speak of twominds or two selves: the conscious-mind self and the subconscious-mind self. It is the conscious mind which the kahuna called "uhane," or themiddle self, the part of man that is conscious of his own existence andhas the ability to reason. The subconscious mind was "unihipili," or thebasic self. Max used the term "low self". This is the one we "have a talkwith." The term "low" has no reference to rank or importance, but onlyto the fact that it is "below" the level of consciousness (thus the termsub-consious) and has its bodily center in the solar plexus, below theconsciousness centered in the head. Remember that the function of thispart of you is very important and the low or basic self has a very largepart to play in your life.

There is Yet a Third Part of Man

The third part is the High Self-- called by the kahuna the name "Au-makua." This is sometimes called the "superconscious," but writers un-familiar with Huna psychology may use that word to designate the sub-conscious. The High Self is the "older, utterly trustworthy, parental spirit." The High Self may, in religious terms, be called a sort of guardianangel who helps us when requested to do so, but does not necessarilyinterfere unless asked to help. However the concept of "God" or deity was considered to be above the level of High Self, which is an integral part of the human personality. It is our divine connection with God. It isthe High Self, using whatever higher resources which may be required,that brings all desired conditions into reality.

The Triangle of Trinity

The symbol of the triangle suggests that once all three selves areworking together with perfect union and harmony, we have perfect com-munication among the three selves. Even though we often speak of separate functions of the individual three selves, remember that they must always work together to function effectively. When we refer to anindividual self, we must always include the others in proper relation to that part. It is at this stage of harmony that there is "direct" contact fromthe middle self to the High Self, because all three are a harmonious three-self team. This is the perfect or whole person. All three selves have their proper part to play in the life of each of us,and they must work together to accomplish whatever is desired, whether solving a problem in the present, or trying to work for a betterfuture. When the three selves work harmoniously together, things canhappen that may appear to be "miracles." But when you know the proper and normal functions of the three selves and how they work to-gether, the miracles will seem to be in no way "supernatural." The ideal to which we aspire is to become a complete person, withall parts united. As Max Freedom Long expressed it: "Our task as middleselves is primarily that of learning to work consciously and properly withboth the low [basic] self and the High Self."

"Aka" or Shadowy Bodies

There is an original blueprint or pattern, printed on transparent material, which fits each of the three selves in every detail. Compare thiswith the transparent overlays used in encyclopedias to show the variousskeletal, muscular, or nervous systems of the physical body. The kahuna of ancient Hawaii talked of the three selves of man, with theirexact duplicates, which they referred to as aka-bodies. This aka-substance formed a sort of invisible pattern or "aura" around each of the three selves, keeping the blueprint intact, but capable of changingshapes temporarily to form a connecting thread between the basic self,the middle self, and the High Self. Since aka has a sticky quality and stretches without breaking, when contact is made between two persons, a long, sticky thread is drawn out between the two, like a silver spider-web, and the connection be-tween them remains. Further contacts add other aka-threads and these

are braided together into an aka-cord, resulting in strong rapport be-tween the two persons. Such an aka-cord must be kept strongly braidedbetween the basic self and the middle self, and between the basic selfand the High Self, in order for the three to work harmoniously together.

Mana, or Vital Force

The kahuna recognized the magnetic and the opposite, repellingnature of vital force, or "mana," but unfortunately left no detailed ex-position on the subject. They knew the force as a thing which had to dowith all thought processes and bodily activities. The life force was the essence of life itself. The kahuna symbol for this life-force was water. Water flows and so does vital force. Water fills things. So does the vitalforce. Water may leak away and so may vital force. All thinking involvesan electrical-like activity of Mana. The word "mana-o" means "think-ing," the "o" added to show that the process is one of using Mana toproduce thought. As each thought is formed it is given its aka body andis fastened by a thread of the same substance to thoughts which camebefore it ("association of ideas" in terms of modern psychology). Mana is taken from the food and air by the basic self and is stored inits aka-body, but it is shared with the middle self and with the High Self.The Mana, when used as the life-force of the middle self is changed insome subtle way. The kahuna of old symbolized this as a dividing of thebasic Mana into two kinds, and called it Mana-Mana, indicating that itwas doubled in power, so that it could be used by the middle self to direct the inner or basic self. This is the force we know vaguely in modern psychology as "the will." It is also the force which should at alltimes be strong enough to make the inner self carry out every sug-gestion. It is seldom used in its full strength, and so the basic self getsout of hand or flits from one activity to another, without carrying out anysuggestion or command fully.

Accumulating a Surcharge of Mana

We know that taking a slow, deep breath will give us an extra amount of energy. We can use certain techniques combined withspecific mental images to accumulate a surcharge-- an extra large andpowerful charge-- of vital force any time we need it. This assumes thatwe are in reasonably good health and are not weakened by physical oremotional trauma. We can use these surcharges of Mana in several very valuable ways, particularly in healing ourselves and others, and inmaking a Prayer-Action that will have real power.

An Action of the Mind

The kahuna believed that by an action of the mind a person adds tothe amount of Mana created from food and air. The extraction process is quickened. This theory is supported by our physiologists, who havefound that when we digest food it is not all used at once, but is changedto blood sugar, or glycogen, and oxidized with oxygen from the air we breath to give us such amounts of force and energy as we may need forthe work we happen to do. The basic self, who tends to all such matters, can at any time begin to take in more air and cause more bloodsugar to be burned to create more of that strange chemically-manufac-tured force we call Mana. The basic self learns to do this easily in most

cases. By combining the Mana from food and air with additional Manafrom unlimited cosmic sources, we can always have the power we needto accomplish whatever we truly and justly desire. The accumulation of a surcharge of vital force is accomplished simply by explaining to the basic self within just what it is to do and then asking it to do it. To help the basic self, we can start breathing more deeply, add the thought of accumulating a large surcharge of Mana, and the process begins.

The Mana Rises Like a Fountain

The kahuna used the symbol of water for Mana. When he wished toaccumulate a surcharge, be breathed deeply and visualized Mana risinglike water rising in a fountain, higher and higher until it overflowed. Thebody is pictured as the fountain and the water is the Mana. Another image that can be used is filling a sphere with light and mentally seeingyour entire body surrounded by this sphere and fully illuminated.

An Exercise

Exercise or any form of physical exertion always starts the basic selfmanufacturing more Mana, otherwise we would use up what we have ina few minutes and would begin to feel faint. Athletes know that they cango only so far on their first wind, which is the charge of Mana they happen to have in their body and aka-body at the start. Then in a shorttime they get a fresh supply of energy (the second wind) and can then keep going steadily and at top speed. It is important to use the sur-charge, over and above the basic physical energy required to maintainhealth and daily activity, in working toward a specific goal, such as healing or solving a social problem.

Or a Mental Attitude

Instead of exercising, we can assume the mental attitude of one get-ting set to run a race. We hold the picture in mind of getting ready to run, we breathe more rapidly and tense up the muscles a little. The basic self will begin to create the desired vital force.

A Sense of Well-being

Persons with a low normal charge-level of viral force have found thatthey can sense the additional surge of Mana after taking on an extrasupply. It adds to the sense of well-being, of physical strength and en-durance, of will and determination, and it sharpens the mind, makes memorization faster and easier, and the senses more acute. This can easily be tested by checking the clearer vision or sharper memory after asurcharge of vital force.

Mana and Miracles

The point that is most important when considering Mana or vital forceis that when you have learned to accumulate a surcharge, it is possibleto use it, with the help of the High Self, to perform "miracles," which range all the way from slow and simple healing to miraculous changes in

bodily tissue and even the fabric of the future. The High Self contacts us of its own accord in our sleep, making useof the connecting aka-cord. Our thoughts of the day, with our plans, hopes, fears, loves, and hates, are examined, taken as duplicate thought-forms, and at the same time vital force is taken. This vital forceis stepped up to the high "voltage" and is used by the High Self to con-struct a shadowy body which will materialize as part of our future. Suchthough-forms were described by the kahuna as "seeds" and weresymbolized as seeds, which were vitalized by the High Self and grew into actualities of the future.

Let the Rain of Blessings Fall

The High Self not only takes from us the vital force it needs, but returns a compensating force to us. This is vital to our health and well-being. This return can be pictured as a shower of Mana falling from theup-welled fountain, as a gentle mist, a "rain of blessings." Thus the three-fold communication symbolized by the triangle is complete. Afterconsciously contacting the High Self for the purpose of sending a gift of Mana and also presenting a "prayer-picture," the kahuna ended hisprayer with these words: " The prayer takes its flight. Let the rain ofblessings fall." Daily contact and guidance in all of our lives may be had from the High Self as our Divine Connection-- but only if requested. All the morereason to discover for yourself the basic concepts of Huna and how they may be put to practical use in your own life-- the three selves and their functions as a unified team and the importance of understandinghow Mana, the life force, can be increased and utilized to bring about abetter life now and for the future.
