more. I asked him about the seminar he was doing a few weeks
later. He didn’t try to sell me on it. He said he was constantly clear-

wanted open hearts. He trusted that Divinity—his favorite term for
the power bigger than all of us, yet all of us—would bring the right
arrangement.
I asked my friend Mark Ryan, the man who first told me about
Dr. Hew Len, if he wanted to attend. I offered to pay his way, as a gift
for telling me about this miracle and miracle worker. Mark agreed, of

method from Hawaii. As I read, I learned it had nothing at all to do
with it.Huna is the name that entrepreneur-turned-author Max
Freedom Long gave his version of Hawaiian spiritualism. He claimed
to have learned a secret tradition from Hawaiian friends while work-
