Takeaways

• 😀 Huna, an ancient system of thought, shares similarities with other spiritual traditions such as those from Egypt and India, especially regarding the concept of multiple bodies and selves.
• 😀 The exchange of knowledge across regions, including India, Egypt, and the Near East, played a significant role in the development of spiritual systems like Huna.
• 😀 Huna teachings may have influenced early Indian thought, with possible connections to both Vedic and later Buddhist traditions.
• 😀 The concept of Huna involves 10 elements, but when compared to other systems like Theosophy, only 7 principles are listed, highlighting differences in the systems' interpretations.
• 😀 In the Theosophical system, the 7 principles of man include Atma (Spirit), Budy (Spiritual Soul), and Prana (Life), which can be loosely compared to the 10 elements in Huna.
• 😀 There is confusion in the comparison of the body-principles between different systems, such as between the Theosophical, Yoga, and Huna models, suggesting the complexity of translating these concepts across cultures.
• 😀 The 'astral body' term used in Huna does not align with its typical Western connotations, as it refers to a shadowy, material substance rather than faint star-like light.
• 😀 The concept of 'Akasha' in Sanskrit is closely related to Huna's 'AKA' and implies a translucent, etheric substance forming the shadowy bodies inhabited by the three selves of Huna.
• 😀 Karma, while a shared concept, is viewed differently in Huna. In this system, the High Self administers a more flexible form of justice rather than a strict system of reward and punishment.
• 😀 Huna distinguishes itself from other systems by focusing on the three selves: High Self (The Thinker), Middle Self (Higher Mind Self), and Low Self, each associated with different bodies and functions in spiritual evolution.

Q & A

What is the relationship between Huna and the religious beliefs of ancient India?

Huna and ancient Indian beliefs share some similarities, such as concepts of the self, reincarnation, and karma. However, there are significant differences in how these concepts are understood and expressed. The exchange of ideas between the cultures likely happened through wise men traveling, sharing knowledge, and possibly influencing each other.

What difficulties did Huna practitioners face in sharing their knowledge with India?

The main difficulty was the linguistic barrier, as the sacred language of Huna had no written form, making it challenging to translate and share knowledge with others, particularly in Sanskrit. Oral transmission was used, but it was prone to errors.

What is the difference between the number of elements in Huna and those found in Theosophical teachings?

Huna consists of ten elements, while Theosophy lists seven principles of man. Despite the difference in number, both systems share some similar ideas, with each system attempting to categorize human existence in spiritual terms.

What are the seven principles of man in Theosophy?

The seven principles of man in Theosophy are: 1. Atma (Spirit), 2. Buddhi (Spiritual Soul), 3. Manas (Mind), 4. Kama (Feeling), 5. Prana (Life), 6. Linga Sharira (Causal Body), and 7. Stula Sharira (Physical Body).

How does Huna describe the self in terms of high, middle, and low selves?

In Huna, the self is divided into three aspects: the high self (the Thinker), the middle self (the higher mind), and the low self (the physical or lower mind). The high self is considered the most spiritually advanced and is responsible for shaping one's life and experiences.

What role does karma play in Huna, and how is it different from other belief systems?

In Huna, karma is seen as a more flexible form of justice compared to other systems that view karma as strict reward and punishment. The high self administers karma with an understanding that helps guide the soul through life, but it is more adaptable and less rigid.

What is the concept of 'Akasha' in relation to Huna?

The word 'Akasha' in Sanskrit refers to a type of etheric or light substance. This concept is somewhat connected to the shadowy bodies in Huna, which are made of a translucent material that serves as the medium through which spiritual experiences and memories are carried, similar to Akasha's role in spiritual contexts.

Why is the term 'astral' misleading when applied to Huna's shadowy bodies?

The term 'astral' is misleading because it is derived from a word meaning 'star,' which connotes faint light. This fails to accurately represent the shadowy, translucent substance described in Huna. The shadowy bodies in Huna are more tangible and material, not just faint light.

What is the significance of the word 'Guna' in relation to reincarnation in Indian belief?

In Indian beliefs, 'Guna' refers to a string or chord that connects the many lives of an individual. It is believed that this enduring connection allows for continuity in reincarnation and serves as a basis for the functioning of karma and the soul's journey from one life to the next.

How does the concept of memory and reincarnation differ between Huna and other systems like Hinduism?

In Huna, memories are stored in thought form clusters made of shadowy AA substance and are carried along by the low self after death. In contrast, Hinduism and Theosophy describe a causal body that accumulates experiences from past lives, which influences future incarnations. Huna does not have the same concept of an enduring causal body.
