Max’s book “fell” into my life at a very special time starting with “What Jesus Taught in Secret” which was the beginning of an answer that I had been searching for quite some time which was; What did Jesus mean when he said, “You can do what I can do and more”? (John 14:12)
Fundamentally what Max did was “decode” the Hawaiian language and found that there were embedded hidden meanings. He was an avid fan of spy novels in particular ones dealing with code and code breaking so he was perfectly suited for this. The Hawaiian language is fundamentally simplistic so how it is used may be more important than just the words alone. This can be seen by using an online Hawaiian dictionary and seeing the various results that come up for one word. As a general rule the longer words are compounds of smaller words and Haumana is one of those, but this word never appeared in any of his books. As I’ve said, it was a word that “came” to me, but the individual aspects were in his books. Per his books (I have to qualify it this way due to some difficulty with finding some correlations on the online Hawaiian dictionary), fundamentally HA means Breath, U means Spirit, and MANA means Energy.
WHAT JESUS TAUGHT IN SECRET by Long, Max Freedom ISBN: 0875165109 Publisher: DeVorss & Co
I arrived in Hawaii in 1917... and took a teaching position that placed me near the volcano, Kileauea, which was very active at the time. The school was one of three rooms and stood in a lonely valley between a great sugar plantation and a ranch. The two teachers under me were both Hawaiian, and it was only natural that I soon began to know more about their Hawaiian friends. From there I began to hear guarded references to native magicians, the "kahunas," or "Keepers of the Secret." With my background in Psychology, my curiosity became aroused and 1 began to ask questions... MAX FREEDOM LONG This was the beginning of Max Freedom Long’s research into the Huna Tradition of the ancient Polynesians. The field of his study was Hawaii, geographically the most isolated part of Polynesia. It was a virgin field because, in spite of startling evidence of the powers of the kahunas, anthropologists discarded their work as "superstition" and missionaries disapproved of their "miracles." His work not only resulted in The Secret Science Behind Miracles, a study of the Huna Tradition, but also provided personal guidelines for self-improvement and exposed correlations between the Huna faith and religions of today as he further explained in The Secret Science at Work and The Huna Code in Religions. What Jesus Taught in Secret is the story of the unexpected discovery that the Huna code had been used in the writing of the Four Gospels to conceal the secret teachings of Jesus.
