Oh my gosh! I went to a Huna self-empowerment seminar last Saturday
I feel great, plus I got a discount
Interesting. What is Huna?
Oh, it's like this ancient Hawaiian system of magic discovered by Max Freedom Long in the 1930s.
It like teaches about your three selves1and how to create harmony within yourself.
Highly illogical. Hawaiians had a high literacy rate in the 19th century.
Surely they would've written about such a philosophical system prior to the 1930s.
Oh, it's like because it was a secret.
Huna means secret.
That's where the word Kahuna comes from.
It means the keeper of the secret.
Illogical. The root word of Kahuna is kahu which means guardian. Na is a grammatical preposition. It is the same with the word 'Ohana; the root word is 'oha, not hana.
Huh. But they like teach you like all of these Hawaiian words and self-empowerment.
It seems, my dear, the only self-empowerment that occurs is when they swipe your credit card.
If it is a secret, then why are they teaching it in groups and charging you fees?
But I paid six-hundred frackin' dollars for that seminar.
It works as long as you are paying them.
Huna is NOT Hawaiian.
It is a made-up method invented by a non-Hawaiian school teacher in the Nazi era.
It is a work of fiction.
