The Huna Fellowship was founded by Max Freedom Long in 1945.
Huna (tm) is an internationally registered trademark of Huna Research, Inc., the organization which coordinates the teaching, research, and practice of this ancient system recovered during over fifty years of research by Max Freedom Long (1890-1971) from the ancient traditions of Hawaii.
Huna contains elements of philosophy, science, and religion. We often speak of Huna as not in itself a religion, but the truth which lies behind all religions alike. It is a science because it explains spiritual/metaphysical matters not as theological belief, but of direct knowledge obtainable by study and ivestigation. It's religious aspect gives Huna "followers" or practitioners a rule of life... not based on alleged "commands" given to the "chosen" at some remote period in the past, but on plain common sense as indicated by observable facts. The "Divine Will" is expressed in what we know as the laws of Nature.
YOUR RELIGION is what YOU believe, not what you're told to believe.
So the Huna Fellowship is the Huna Church which has been working alongside the Huna Research Associates from day one. So, from a certain viewpoint, Huna can be practiced as a religion, there are TWO BIG DIFFERENCES between Huna and what is typically called religion...
FIRST... Huna does not demand belief or even speak of belief in the usual sence, because the Huna student either KNOWS a thing or suspends judgement about it until they can experience the results until such time as they prove it for themselves.
SECOND... Huna doesn't endeavor to convert anyone from whatever religion he holds... it EXPLAINS your religion to you and enables you to see the DEEPER MEANING and PURPOSE than you ever knew before.
Huna principles are not tennets of faith, but are based on direct and repeatable OBSERVATION of what happens.
Anyone interested in Huna, ESP, Spirituality, Healing, Energy Medicine, whatever can (and I think SHOULD) be a member of The Huna Ohana so we can work together and share what we learn and move to a better understanding.
If you've experienced the power of Huna and what it means to you and what it can do for you and how Huna has become a part of your life and you are living the Huna Life, then feel free to consider the Huna Fellowship your church.
Huna Psychology... Huna Philosophy... Huna Science... and Huna as a religious way of life... we all have our own interpretation, our own needs, our own favorite techniques, our own core beliefs... that why we have The Huna Ohana (our Huna Family) because we are a family that has room for everybody... if you've been to a Huna World Convention, you know what I'm talking about.
