Fine-Tuning Your High-Self Communication

A Better Drill Bit

There are two kinds of basements in Cape Girardeau ... those that
leak and those that are going to leak.

Once upon a time, our basement became the kind that leaks ... so Dad
went to install a sump pump. To get the water outside, he had to go
through a thick concrete wall.

He spent many hours drilling away at the wall ... going through
several drill bits ... only to accomplish a one-inch dent in the wall.

So he drove to the hardware store and he went inside ... and when
he was inside he asked for the appropriate expert on tools. And the
tool man came to help him.

Dad said, "I need a better drill bit."

And the tool man said, " ... for what purpose?"

So Dad explained the situation ... then he explained what he wanted
to accomplish.

And the tool man said, " ... you don't want a drill bit ... you want
a hole ... "

Then the tool man showed him the right tool ... not a drill bit, but
the right tool for the job.

So Dad decided to buy that tool and to use it.

And then he went outside the hardware store and drove back home
where he lives ... and he used the tool to make a hole in the
concrete
wall ... and it took only five minutes.

We don't even remember what the tool was called ... even though it
worked so well, but it was the right tool for the job.

This story teaches several key Huna principles on different
levels. The first level illustrates one Master Key of a successful Ha
Rite ... that you have to find out what you really want. And students
often have a real struggle with this one for several reasons.

One reason is we're not used to expressing what we really do
want.

Another is we often have limiting beliefs ... "blinders" of
which we are unaware ... that keep us stuck.

In the "Drill Bit" story, Dad was unconsciously limiting his
successful outcome by limiting the scope of his solution to the drill
bit itself. It can be a very subtle distinction ... but, in a way, he
was "stuck" by his limited belief about HOW to achieve his real goal,
which was getting the water outside.

Why Huna Doesn't Work

RULE #1 ... if what you're doing is working, congratulations!
Keep it up.

Since 1948, one of our key areas of investigation is "how
things go wrong." And it's a good thing because, over the years,
we've identified a number of common mistakes people make in their
Huna prayer-work that sabotages their success.

So if your doing your part and nothing seems to be happening,
we can analyze the process to see if there are any little "glitches"
that are gumming up the works.

And the "HOW" glitch is one of the most common.

Example: People very often try to use Huna to win the
Lottery ... and they don't win the Lottery.

When I talk to them I always find out there's something else
they really want ... something they believe "lots of money" will give
them. It's usually some idea of a better lifestyle, getting away from
a dead-end job, giving their children a better life ... some higher
goal.

When you focus on that higher goal you can begin to realize
the reason people pray for winning the Lottery, instead of something
more personal and meaningful, is they think that's the only way to
achieve what they really want.

That's focusing on "HOW to get it" instead of WHAT YOU REALLY
WANT.

If you're focused on getting the right drill bit, you can
lose sight of the real goal, which is "getting rid of the waste
water."

I know of only one member in our history who's used these
techniques and won a lottery. He didn't go after the lottery, in fact
he ONLY PLAYED IT ONCE.

His goal was to build a school for poor children. He knew he
needed one million dollars for the project, so he focused on having
the money so the school could be completed.

And he did just what Dad did. He "went inside" ... which
means relaxing and focusing "inside" ... on the inner self.

Your unconscious mind — your inner self — is your connection
to the High Self, and to all things Divine. So by "going inside" and
talking to "the person in charge" ... the inner self ... the person
in charge of the inner conscious levels, you can ask to speak to
the "expert."

The High Self (Aumakua) is your spiritual guide who has
access to all the resources you could ever need to accomplish your
goal.

And it's by relaxing and going inside that you can better
communicate with your inner self to explain your current situation
and your desired outcome.

That's exactly how he got his school ... by relaxing, going
inside, reviewing the current situation, imagining the desired
outcome, and leaving it up to "Higher Intelligence" to bring forth
the resources needed ... whatever they may be.

So he relaxed, reviewed, imagined, and turned the project
over to Higher Intelligence.

Later, either that night or within a few days, he had a dream
in which a series of numbers scrolled across his field of vision. He
wrote down the numbers and they looked like lottery numbers, so he
bought a ticket with those numbers.

You've probably already imagined what happened next because,
in Huna, we know we connect with the High Self every night as we
sleep. So in that dream state ... when the rational conscious mind
was "out of the way" ... the High Self provided a solution.

In his case the solution was very literal, even though it was
still highly symbolic and indirect ... because he practiced daily
and was in the habit of TAKING NOTICE when he received those "gentle
nudges" of guidance from Higher Intelligence.

Sometimes the tool man has the higher intelligence we need
(especially if you're not a housing contractor!) ... and sometimes
the message comes to us in our sleep ... and sometimes it's just
a "knowing" that comes out of the blue ... many ways.

So your job, as the conscious mind is to gather information.
You're very good at evaluating your current situation and you're good
at deciding if you want to make improvements.

In Part Two we'll go over the Four-Step Process on How-to-Do
this.
