Summary: I detest writing negative reviews. ;-(
Review: Mr. Lawrence presents only a very limited view of HUNA. In that limited view of HUNA; he introduces many errors that could have been prevented if he had done a more thorough job in research.1. On page 22; he states that "christian" missionaries arrived in Hawaii in the 1860s (it was 1820). 2. On page 22; he states that hawaiians called the priests and other people from the U.S. haule (The correct hawaiian word is ha'ole). 3. On page 23; he states that Max Freedom Long (MFL) arrived in the Hawaiian islands in the 1930s (I have read almost every book written by MFL (have reviewed several of them), and Max went to the islands in 1917. He returned to the mainland in the 1930s after he almost lost his business in Honolulu during the great depression.). 4. On page 35; he lists the seven components that make up a human being. (This is in error. There are ten components that make up a human being. the three selves (Unihipili, Uhane, and Aumakua). Each of the three selves has an aka body, and each of the three selves uses a different voltage of vital life force (mana) (Unihipili - mana, Uhane - mana mana, and Aumakua - mana loa), and lastly the physical body. 3+3+3+1=10). 5. On page 39; he states that the lower self is the oldest of the three selves (The lower self Unihipili is the youngest of the three selves. The oldest is the Aumakua (high self).). 6. On page 101; he states that the ana ana were the ones that killed people with the death prayer (It was the kahuna 'ano'ano). If you are interested in HUNA; I would HIGHLY recommend "The Fundamentals Of Hawaiian Mysticism" by Charlote Berney, or view my HUNA listmania list for other HUNA books. I encourage questions and comments about my reviews via E-Mail. Two Bears. Wah doh Ogedoda (We give thanks Great Spirit)
