Most religious teachings seem to say one thing and mean yet another. After 30 years of research Max Freedom Long discovered ties between the ancient Hawaian Religion and the even older lost religions from which all others seem to have evolved. Utilizing linguistics, comparitive analysis and good old common sense, Long discovered that most major religions have multilevels of teachings, outer teachings for the masses and the inner teachings for the initiated. Start your own search for the secrets or your religion with this book. Huna (Secret) Code In Religions will open a new level of religious teachings and just may answer those nagging questions and connect the loose ends most of us have with religion.

Max Freedom Long ... what a powerful name! And from him comes this powerfully liberating, new (relatively speaking) writing ... which for some of us, will present new possible meanings for other, older writings ... Bible, Eastern, etc., using the "Huna Code" ... deeper meanings of Polynesian root words and symbolism from ancient Egypt.

The Huna Code in Religions is a fascinating read which takes you from the Egypt of over 2,000 years ago to modern times in Polynesia. Along the way it points out the common higher truths found in the worlds major religions while providing us with compelling evidence which suggests that ancient initiates of the "Huna system" may have been a major spiritual influence for them all.

On a personal level, the information in this book provided me the opportunity to understand why, in the past, I always felt like I didn't "fit in" ... why I knew things didn't have to be the way they were, the way others said they had to be ... I was able to become clear about life as a "human being".

To "understand" is a choice ... with clarity being the natural outcome of the choice to "understand". The Huna Code in Religions provides us the opportunity to make that choice. As Shakespeare said "To be or not to be, that is the question".

When the saying "Know thyself" resonates with you, more than likely, so will this book.

Then, for a more in-depth understanding of the Bible ... specifically the ministry of Jesus ... please treat yourself to one of Max Freedom Long's other books "What Jesus taught in Secret".

I see that MR. Long fell into the same trap that Scott Cunningham and many others fall into when they allow their previous faith to color their view when writing about another faith.

I Greatly respect the works of Max Freedom Long, but here is one instance where he is wrong. He saw tenets in Huna closely meshed with the tenets in "christianity" the faith he was exposed to earlier in life, and assumed that "christianity" adopted the tenets of Huna.

Virtualy all faiths have similar tenets. I have explored virtualy all faiths from Buddhism to Witta, and they all have similar tenets, but this does not mean that one faith is an offshoot of another faith or they were incorporated after encountering another faith.

I think I have read all of Max's writings except for "What Jesus Taught In Secret". and I can tell you that Mr. Long did an admirable job of preventing Huna from disappearing forever. However; Mr. Long has presented an INCOMPLETE picture of HUNA. Nowhere in Max's writings have I seen him discuss the Huna deities like Hina, Kane, Ku, Pele, etc, Nor have I seen him discuss the kapu (religion taboos).

I am a devout pagan (American Indian Spirituality), but I continue to seek for answers.

Wah doh Ogedoda (We give thanks Great Spirit)

As a student of life and future doctor, I found this book abundant and informative about religions. I feel the author pull from every direction the focal point from diverse types of religion mainly Christianity, setting the tone of Huna in everyday life. The information is super loaded with multiple layers of information. When you read The Huna Code in Religions my advised is "read a page a time and reflect on it". Moreover I enjoy the quality in which the author presented the information and I was able to relate.

Long seems to have something to prove with this book. He does convey the idea of the universality of Huna, and compares it to many other cultures and religions. Referring constantly to the Hawaiian language, he makes a strong case about interconnected cultures and common ideas. To truly understand the different dimensions - literal, metaphorical, and etheric - of the Hawaiian language, this book is a great reference tool. However, without serious study, much of the information is too technical to really remember. A good book, but needs to be read in short segments.Spirit Journeys: Freeing the Soul in this Life and Beyond, Healing Thoughts: Applying Therapeutic Shamanism in Your Daily Life

This book deals less with the "how to" of Huna and more with finding/proving that Huna is the basis of Christian religion. I still recommend this book for people studying Huna and looking for a way to create more effective prayer.
