WHAT'S DIFFERENT ABOUT HUNA?
– by E. Otha Wingo

There are really three unique concepts used by Huna in "healing,"
which includes not only the healing of the physical body, but healing
of social and financial tangles, personal problems, and developing
our full potential as a whole person, effective individually and as a
member of our family and society. They are as follows:

(1) The plans for the desired future must be carefully worked out as
thought-form pictures to fit exactly what we want to accomplish.

(2) Mana must be provided by the low self for use by the High Self.

(3) The High Self builds our thought-form pictures into the reality
of the future.

People often react, when first learning about Huna, that so much of
it "sounds familiar." This may be because the truth of the principles
are recognized or because Huna concepts are simple. Learning Huna may
put our own ideas into perspective for the first time. Perhaps an
outline of some of the approaches of Huna that differ from others
would be helpful.

1. The long-term scope of the Prayer-Action.

2. The careful preparation that is required.

3. The use of visualization may be familiar to some extent, but its
use to create consciously a set of thought-forms to act as molds for
the materialization of desired future events is new in perspective.

4. The request to the High Self, asking that the thought-forms be
used to create for us a new and more desirable future is new.

5. The accumulation of extra Mana/Vital Force and the sending of it
to the High Self to be used in the creation of the desired future are
new.

6. The invisible AKA thread that connects us with the High Self is
new, though hinted at in the idea of the "silvery cord."

7. The use of a flow of Mana along the cord, to carry the thought-
forms telepathically to the High Self is new and of greatest
importance.

8. The fact that the AKA thread runs between the AKA or shadowy body
of the low self and the High Self and that it is the ONE AND ONLY
means of contact between the inner self and the High Self, is not
only new, but REVOLUTIONARY in the psycho-religious thinking of this
century. It gives us an explanation of WHY the usual vocal prayer
made by the conscious mind or middle self often gets no answer -- the
inner self is not brought into the action and the telepathic sending
of the prayer is missing, to say nothing of supplying the needed
vital force to be used by the High Self or paying attention to the
removing of blocks to this telepathic communication.

9. All prayer is telepathic. This must be recognized. If that is not
new, it is a fact that is often ignored in the making of prayer. The
application of this fact to conscious use of the Prayer-Action must
not be forgotten.
