Serge King has articulated 7 principles of Huna:
1. The world is what you think it is.
2. There are no limits.
3. Energy flows where attention goes.
4. Now is the moment of power.
5. To love is to be happy with (someone or something).
6. All power comes from within.
7. Effectiveness is the measure of truth.
One of the primary themes in Long’s books is that the kahuna were not unique to Hawai’i. They were the Hawaiian version of an esoteric priesthood that was also found in ancient Egypt. Indian yogis, Christ and Buddha were adepts in these universal principles. These beliefs are similar to other New Thought philosophies of the same era, including Unity Church and Religious Science. In fact, Long recommended reading Unity’s Daily Word in his Secret Science book.
In some ways, he took New Thought ideas and gave them Hawaiian names.
