Huna was around in many forms long before Tad bastardized it and combined it with his timeline therapy and Ericksonian hypnosis for marketing purposes. AND (Advanced Neuro Dynamics), Tad's company, went ffrom NLP training and products, to Huna products, to finally buying out a second rate hypnosis school here in Southern Cal.
Growing up in rural Hawaii, you see some wierd stuff. There are several types of kahuna (huna adepts), and they have different specialties. Each ultimately claims to be the holder of the one great Huna truth. To say something as sweeping as, "Huna teaches..." is quite hard, as one would have to start with, "Whose huna are you referring to?".
Serge King is a new age author and speaker claiming to represent the old huna ways. Some in the islands praise him; some say he's full of crap and hs no idea.
One of my neighbors in Hawaii was a kahuna, and we saw him do some wierd schtuff. I, for one, won't "talk stink" about the kahuna. I will, however, be deeply suspiscious of ny haule' claiming to be a huna adept. The really good ones stay in the country and keep to themselves and their clan.
My own 2 cents.
