A wonderful meditation upon the Way, here dealt with as “Huna,” and a practical guide for incorporating the teachings into daily life. Max Freedom Long covers the ideal state of cooperation and health between the low, middle, and high self in each human being, unconditional love and the doorways it opens, intuition, prayer, breath work, divine masculine and divine feminine, blockages caused by religious dogma, fear-based living and its traps, the nature and cause of “evil,” and, of course, “growing into Light” – the inevitable, however slow, evolution of all things back to Source.

“Never invite trouble by picturing it long and morbidly.” (138)

“Ask growing things to tell you about God. They will show you how wonderfully their share of the Intelligence and Power holds together the atoms of the Substance in them. Ask the flowers and grass to tell you about their shares, and talk to the birds, and the little garden insects. They will speak to you with some inner voice, for each of them 'wills to God,' each loves the share of God given to it—loves being just what it is.” (9-10)

“Men who wish to follow the Path to the Place of Light arise and start for their goal, even if with but one faltering step. The rest stop to argue about the best way to walk; knowing nothing about walking the Path, they quote the instructions of others. Seldom do they set forth. Only those who have trodden the length of the Path can be relied upon to give the proper instructions for traversing it—but these do not come back, they only stand on the far high Place and beckon to us to leave the arguers to their dogmas and walk forward.” (147)

“Intuition is a sudden knowing. It can be recognized because it is above and beyond, and free from, the need of reason, memory or emotion. And when that sudden knowing comes flashing in from the High Self, there is no possible chance of contradiction or error. It is as if God had spoken in us and given the final word of truth.” (60)

“Meditate on the nature of perfect love and 'Peace that passeth all understanding.' Love draws the positive and the negative force—the life in all things—together so that there may be multiplication and abundance and replenishment. New forms must always be available for the use of the up-climbing sparks, and groups of united sparks, of God’s Intelligence. Peace is that state of pleasant rest when union has been consummated and creation has been accomplished.” (72)

“If you can find someone who will listen, see if you can tell them in concise words what you have learned thus far… And if no one will listen, imagine a friend and tell him or her.” (73)

Very Interesting

This book is so heartfelt and earnest that it is easy to overtook the fact that it was written decades ago. The style itself may be old fashioned but its message is timeless and universal.
