Max Freedom Long
Shortly after graduating from UCLA in 1917, Long moved to the island of
Hawai'i to teach in elementary schools. When he arrived, he was
surprised to find that the Hawaiian kahunas still practiced what he
called magic. He wrote that at first he was skeptical of this magic, but
later became convinced that it worked. He devoted the rest of his life
to constructing theories about how the kahuna did what they did and
teaching those theories through books and lectures. Long called his
teachings Huna. He researched and published articles on Fire-walking,
though never firewalked himself. He founded the Huna Fellowship in 1945
and, starting in 1948, published a series of books on Huna that are
still in print. The inner circle of Huna was called the Huna Research
Associates. The Huna Church was registered as The Huna Fellowship first
in California, now in Missouri. Long's books on Huna attracted many
philosophers of the religious or supernatural to assist him in the
development of the Huna theology. Long has many disciples, who publish,
offer seminars, spiritual counseling, healing, and massage; some teach
their own version of Huna. Others teach Huna who do not claim any
affiliation to Long. |

Further expands on the
Bible to show how the ancient coded information is also
found in the religions of the East, Egyptians, Israelites, Buddhists and
practitioners of Yoga. Huna itself means "secrets" in
the Hawaiian language. Huna is not a religion but a system of beliefs. |
