While I don't claim to be a master of what Huna "should" be, I will just comment on some of the useful things that I enjoy about this book.

I like things that do what they claim they will. As simply as possible, the results I get when I apply the Huna principles within Mastering Your Hidden Self are the results that are claimed I will get. That's good enough for me.

As another reviewer elegantly stated, there is a nice "description" of how the "subconscious" works.

From someone without a degree in Huna (myself) this book is very helpful in making changes.

I picked up this book while browsing the alternative health section of the Rochester Borders Book Store. I had to stand on the little stool to reach the top shelf & found this little volume by accident. I have been studying Daoist meditation and healing methods and found a great similarity in this book in describing the non-verbal holistic "powers" of the mind. In Tai Chi Chuan we say "Where the mind (yi) goes the energy (qi, chi) follows." The key is to relax and stop trying to analyze everything. Let the chit chat in your mind quiet down, drop your expectations and see what happens. You might be surprised at the powerful results

This guy basically explains how rituals and religious faith healing actually works. He doesn't try to convert you to some "Huna" religion. He just kind of uses that as a base to start at. This book's all about the subconscious mind. He shows you how to communicate with your own subconscious.

I've read many self help books. Some of them have been slightly helpful. The majority of them, whilst well written, have been nothing but hot air, penned by an author who's main priority was to get to your wallet with shallow advice, and not to your soul with fruitful results.
This book defied everything I had ever come to believe of self help books.
Huna has been around for a long time, and it's philosophies of dealing with yourself, mainly your conscious and unconscious mind, are like nothing I have encountered before.
After putting the methods into practice, I can happily say that I have overcome negative thoughts, which I had been dealing with for most of my adult life, within a matter of weeks. The most startling thing is that I have only just begun, yet have made more progress by implementing Huna's methods of dealing with my subconscious mind than I have in the last 10 years put together.
The non chalant way that Serge Kahili King writes is also a pleasure to read. He knows that something as simple as a book will not solve all of your life's problems, but he is there to support you and be a fence sitter along the way, neither condeming any other form of self development or promoting one over the other. It's this unbaised view of life that makes you sit up and take notice.
I strongly recommend that for anyone that is interested in making a difference to their lives, particularly one filled with negativity, to read this book.
The methods involved are simple, and can be used daily, for as little as 20 minutes, or for further 'Gains' much more.
Bless The Present.
Trust Yourself.
Expect The Best.

This book is one of those books that if you find it at the right moment in your life, it'll help you understand yourself and everything around you in a very deep, logical, and spiritual way. I personally don't believe in anything too much. I adapt the various ideas that ring true to me and make me feel that they are useful in my personal development and growth. The Huna teachings in this (my first introduction to Huna) book are elegant yet powerful and I have incorporated them in my self and they have helped me enormously.

If self-exploration and critical view of the universe and life are things you are ready to indulge in, this is one of the books that I would definitely recommend.

People who are in the know about the Aquarian Age and the upcoming demands on the psychic advancement of mankind, will find this a great learning manual. Compare these to the works by Hawai`i-based author, Robert B. Stone, _The Power of Miracle Metaphysics_, and _The Magic of Psychotronic Power_, which also involve the reader in activities towards a result: the improvement from within and how to live your life more "deliberately", as Thoreau would have had it... Look at it this way: you could fill your head with TV shows and movies; you could study astronomy or geology for a lifetime; but will these *make you a better person*? Think: How best to spend my precious time on this earth? Watching back-to-back beer and soloflex ads on the tube, or getting your hoo-hah together and moving forward into the future with extra knowledge obtained from vantage points only *you* have traversed? Learn Hawaiian at the same time...the occult parts of a very nature-oriented language that is rife with double-meanings, and within it you will find the secret of your own mind in the beauty of the blossoming of the simple flower. Study, meditate, study, meditate...Malama Pono Mau Loa

I read this book early in my HUNA studies, and did not know enough to spot the errors.

Since then; I have taken the HUNA course from HRI (HUNA Research Inc.), read every HUNA related book I could lay my hands on, and gained first hand HUNA experience.

Here are three errors that bother me the most.

1. the author implies that Jesus and the early church practised HUNA (Also one of Max Freedom Long's errors in logic). It's true that the early church did energy work, but that does not necessarily mean they practised HUNA. I studied Qigong (originating in China), Reiki (originating in Japan), Seichim (originating in Egypt, HUNA (originating in Hawaii), and others. I am trying to say that energy work has been practised EVERYWHERE.

2. The author misnames the three selves (or spirits) associated with a person. Unihipili (ku), Uhane (lono), and Aumakua (Kane). Ku, Lono, and Kane are three if the gods Hawaiians acknowledged.

3. The author lists seven aspects of a human being. This is in error. There are Ten aspects of a human being.

three spirits (Unihipili, Uhane, Aumakua), three aka bodies for the three selves, three voltages of Mana (Mana (used by the Unihipili); Mana mana (used by the Uhane); Mana loa (used by the Aumakua), and the physical body. 3+3+3+1=10

If you are interested in HUNA; I would suggest that you look elsewhere.

"Fundamentals Of Hawaiian Mysticism" Charlotte Berney

"HUNA Magic" John Bainbridge

"Hawaiian Magic And Spirituality" Scott Cunningham

This was a very intresting read. It started a little slow. I almost had to force my self to read thrugh the first three chapters, but after that it really started to pick up. This book is full of allot of enlightening ideas and concepts. In got more from this little gem than many others that are three times is size. this book is definitly one worth getting if your really looking to master your hidden self.

This book needs to be read and internalized for full benefits to be realized. I am a bit of a 'scientific method' guy - so there is quite a load of BS in this about clairvoyance, telepathy, etc. Leave that out of the equation and selectively work on your inner game to improve your self-confidence in an inside-out manner. There are lots of suggested exercises in this book that will raise your performance and your poise to the next level. Strange things happened to me - the book states that "The world is what you think it is" - and it actually happened in a rather dramatic way to me (again it can be scientifically explained without resorting to the supernatural). I highly recommend this book if you are keen on improving your inner game with the intention of achieving difficult goals.
