► The Kahuna and the Scientific Hypnotist

The Saturday Star-Bulletin, Honolulu,T.H, June 13, 1959 - Clarice B. Taylor's "Tales about Hawaii"

     "the trouble with the hypnotist is that he is an egotist that depends upon himself alone. He calls hypnotism a science and recognizes no higher power."

     That is what Daddy (David K. ) Bray says of many hypnotists who consult him hoping to learn the secrets of the Hawaiian Kahuna.

     "The hypnotist does good as long as he uses his own power to heal. But he must learn that there is a greater power and he must learn that he cannot use hi power for self glory - else it will strike him back."

TELLS EXPERIENCE
     Daddy Bray then told of his own experience on the coast with one of the best know hypnotists. This man refused to acknowledge a higher power. He too believed his powers to be the result of science.

     When he wanted to hypnotize Daddy Bray, Daddy Bray said to him: "All right my mind is yours, my body is yours. I will relax - but, I will call my aumakua to stand as a curtain between us."

     The hypnotist worked for 10 p.m. until 2 a.m. trying to put Daddy Bray to sleep. Finally he gave up and Daddy Bray said:

     "My aumakua is too powerful for you.

     "You are making a god of yourself. You do not know how to pray - when you pray, you do not demand. Who are you to make demands?

ASK FORGIVENESS
     "You must learn to be humble. Thank god for his protection and then ask for forgiveness.

     "Sit down and ask yourself, "What have I done for mankind? Where have I made mistakes?'

    "Remember that he who makes demands of God is making a god of himself."

NEXT: Prayer
